When the tyranny of the last James drove his subjects to take up arms against him, one of the most formida ble enemies of his usurpati'ns was Sir John Cochrane, ancester to the pres. nt Earl Dundonald. Ile was one of the most prominent actors in Argyle's rebell on, and for ages a set tled gloom hung over the house of the Caipbells enveloping in common ruin all who united their fortunes in the cause of its chieftains. The same doom encompassed Sir Joh Coehratne. Ile was surrounded by the king's troop's. Long, deadly and desperate was his resistance, but at length, over. powered by numbers, lie was taken prisoner, tried, and condemned to die upon the seaflfld. He had but a few days to live, and his jailor awaited the arrival of his death-warrant to lead him forth to execution, His famrrily and friends had visited him in prison and exchanged with him the last long heart, rendins farewell. But there was one who was the pride of his eye and fit his house; even Grisel, the daughter of his love. Twilight was casting a deep gloom over the grating of his prison house; he was mourning for a last lo-k of his favorite child, and his head was pressed against the cold, damp wall of his cell, to cool the feve ish tulsationsis that shot th'ough it like tie sting of fire, when the door oh his npartnient swung on its unoiled hinges , and the keeper entered, followed by a 3 oung and beautiful lady. Her person was tall and comnmanding, her eyes dark, bright and tearless; but their very brightness spoke of sorrow-of sorrow too deep to be wiped away-and her raven tresses were parted user her brow pure as the polished marble - The unhappy captive raised his head as they entered. "My child! my own Grizel !" he exelaimed, as she fell upon his bosom. My father, my dear father !" sob. bed the miserable maiden, as she dash ed away tae tears that accompanied the wiirds. " Your interview must be short, very short," said the jailor as he turn ed and left them, for a few minutes, together. - God help and comfort thee, my daughter ! added the unhappy ;ather, and lie held her to his breast, and imi printed a kiss upon her brow. " 1' feared that I should die without be stowing my last blessing tipon the head of my own child, and that stung mue more than death, but thou art comte and the last blessing of my wretched father" " Nay, foribear !" site exclai med; "not thy last blessing; not thy last ! My father shall not die." "Be calm, be ealmt, my child !" re plied lhe; " would to heaven that I could comfort thee, my own. But there is no hope--within three days thou and all thy little ones will be-" frathierless, he would have said, but lie the words died oin his tongue. " Three days !" replied she, raising her head fronm his breast, bumt she added eagerly pressing his hand, " my father shall live! La not my grand father -the friend of father Petre, the con fessor -and master of the king, from himt he shall beg the life of his son, and my father bhall not (lie." " Nay ! nay, Grizel," retuirned he, " be not deceived-there is no hope --already the king has signed the order of my execution and the mnessein. ger of death is now on the way." "Yet my father shall not die ! shte tepeated em phatical ly; and turinimng to her father, said calmuly; we part now, but we shall meet agaim." "~ What would rmy child," inquired lie, eagerly, gazing anxiously on lier -face. "Ask not now. my father," she re iblied-- ask not now; but pr-ay for me, anid bless mne-but not wvith thy last blessing." lie pressed her hand to bsia- heart, and wept upont her niek. In a few r ens the jailor enitered and thbey wlbre torn trimo the arms of eldi other. the interview we have mentioned, a wayfiring man crossed the bridge at Berwick, from the North and preceded dowi Marygate, sat down on a bend. by the dour of an hostlery on the side of the Street nearly fronting where what was called the " Maina guard." lie did not enter the inn fir it was above his apparent condition, being that which Oliver Cromwell had made his headquarters a few years before, and where at sonic earlier period, James the Sixth had taken up his resi dunce when on his way to enter the sovereignt. of England. The travel ler wore a coarse jerk in, fastened round his body by a leathern girdle, and over it a small cloak. conposed of equally plain materials. He, was ev idently a young man, but his beaver was drawn down, so as almost to con ceal his features. In one hand he car. ried a small bundle and in the other a pilgrim's stafl. Having cailed for a glass of wine, he took a crust of bread from his bundle, and after resting a few minutes rose to depart. The shades of night, were s etting in, and threatened to be a night of storm, the Heavens were gathering black, the clouds were rushing fioi the sea, sud den gusts of wind were moaning along the streets accompanied by heavy successive drops of raid and the race of the I weed was troubled. " lea' en help thee if thou intendest to go far in such a night as this," said the sentinel at be English gate, as :he uaveller passed him and proceeded to cross the bridge. In a few minutes ho was upon the borders of the wide, desolate and d rea. ry moor of Tweedmuouth, whicn for miles presented a desert of white, fern stunted heath, here and there covered with thick brush-wood. lie slowly toiled over the steep hi!!, braving the storm, which now raged in its wildest fury. TeIIhi fell in torrents, and the wind howled as a legion of fauished wolves, hurling its hungry echoes over the heath. Still the stranger pushed onward until he proceeded two or three miles from Berwick, when as if to brave the storm, he sought shelter amidst the crab and bramble bushes by the way side. Nearly an hour had passed since he sought this imperfect refuge and the storm had inno .i together, when a horse's feet was heard sp;ashing along the road. The rider bent his head to the blast. Suddenly his horse was grasped by the head, and the t aveller stood before him, hold ing a pistol to his bi east. "I)ismount !" cried the stranger sternly. The horseman benumed and striek cued with fear, made an effort to reach his arms, but in a moment, the hand of the robber quitted the bridle, grasp ing the breast of the rider, and d'ra gei him to the ground. lie fell heavi ly on his face and for several minutes remained senseless. The stranger seized the leathern bag which contain ed the in .il from the north and fling ing it on his shoulder, ru.-hed across the heath. EaLrly on the following mnorning the imhubitants of lerwie were hurrying in groups to the spot where the robbery I'ld been dommitted, but, no tra-e of tire r bber could be obtained. Three days had passed, and Sir J'ohn Cochrane yet lived. The mail which cantained his death warrant had been robbed, and bethpre aniother order for his executi' n could lbe given the inter. cessd'n of'his father, the Earl ot Dun donald, with the Kitng's confessor might be successful. G3aizel now be iamie his constant coinpaniion in pr-is. oni, and( spoke to him words of comn flirt. Nearly fourteen (lays had pass. ed since the protracted hope in the bo som of the prisoner became inure bit ter than nis first despair. But ev-enr that hope bitter as it was, perished. The intercession of his father had bee-n unisuccessfuol-and a secotid time the big.4~ed atnd would be despotic mon arch signed the warrant for his death, and in little more that one day that warm ant for his death would reach the " The will of Heaven be done !" groaned the Captive. "Amen," returned Grizeliwith wild vehemence, " btet my father shall not die !" Again the rider'witir the mail reach ed Tweedmouth, and-a second lime he bore with bim the ddom of Cochrane. lie spurred his hors6 to his utmost speed ; he looked cautiously before and behind, and around him, an~d in his hand he carried a pistol ready to de fend himself. The moon shed a ghast. ly light over the heath randering deso lation visible and giving a spiritual embodiment of every shrub, H~e was turning the angle of agraggling copse wheno his horse reared at the report of a pistol, the fire of which seemed to dash right in its cars. At the same moment his horse reared more violent ly and he was driyent from the saddle, In a moment the foot of the robber was upon his breit whn, bending over him.anl brandishing a short d g ger in his hand, said "Give me thine arms or die f" The h" art of the King's servant failed. in hin and without venturin to reply, he Jdatdi-ws.ooammandE. " Now go thy way,' cried the rubber sternly, " but leave me thy hors, and leave the mail-lest worse come upon thee." The man therefore arose, and pro ceeded towards Berwick, tremiiblirg ; and the robber, mounting his horse which he had left, rode rapidly across the heath. Preparations were making for the exe-ution of Sir John Gchrane-the officers of the law waited only the ar rival of the snail with his second de.th warrant, to lead him to the scafllds and the tidings arrived that the mail had beef robbed. For yet fourteen days the life of the prisoner would he prolonged. He again fell on the neck of his daughter and wept, and said " It is good-the hand of heaven is in this.' ' Said I not,' re[lied 'he maiden, and for tme first time shit wept aloud-'that my father should not die !' The fourteen days were not yet pas sed when the prison door flew open. and the old Earl of Dundonald rushed to the arms of his son. His interces sion with the confessor had been at length successful, and after twice sign. ing the warrant for the execution of Sir John, which had as ,ften failed in reaching its dest.mnation, the king had :=ae!d his pardon. lie hurried with his father fron the prison to his own house, his funmily were clinging aronnd hit, shedding tears of joy ; and they were marvellbng with grattitude at the mystermous providence that had twice in'crcepted the mail when a straniger craved an audience. Sir John desired hamn Liu be adinitted-ard t-he robber entered. He was habited, as we have' before described, with a course argini but his hearing was above his condi ti.,n. On entering he -lightly touched his beaver but remained covered. When you have perused these,' said he taking two pa;pers from his bosom,'cast them into the fire !' Sir John glanced on them, started and becaie nale-..he .er.. hi d.ath warrants. * My deliverer!' exclaimed he, 'how shall I thank thee-how repay the preserver of my life ? My father, my children thank himtr for me !' The old Earl grasped the hands of the stranger, the childien embraced his knees ; and lie burst into tears. ' lBy what nmameit e:mgerly enqutired Sir John, 'shall I call my deliverer t The sttranger wept alond, and raising his beav-r, the raven truses of Girizel Cochrane fell upon the clank. * Gracious Ieavets !' exclaimed the astonishes and en-raptured father My own child !--itiy own Grizel !'

I would write for yone pa. per something in relation tothe richest tman in Virginia, and the largest slave holder in the Union, and perhaps in the world, unless the seria of linssia be considered slaves; aid the w-h expressed in your paper, a few lays ago, to know whlom it, was so wealthy mi Virgitnia, induces mei to write this n11w. Samuel Irairston ;- h# Pittsylvaiiia, is thae gentlematn. When I was int his sectioni, a year or two ago, he was the owner of between 1,600 and 1.700 slaves, in his own right., having but a little whtil - before taken a census. He also has a pro'spective right to abonut 1,000 slavea more, which are now owiied tny his mt her-in law, Ai rs. R. Hani stain, he having mtarried her ainly child. Hes n~dw has the mtanage. ment of thetm, wvhich makes ths nittn ber of his slaves' reach near thr-ee thousand. They increase at the rate of tnear 100 every year ; amid he has to put-chase a large plantatioln every year to settle them on. A large numtber of his plantations are in Ihenry and Patrick counties, Virgittia. He ha~s large estates in North Carolina. His landed property in Stokes, alone, is assessed at *600,000. Hlis wealth is diff'erently estiated at from $3.000. 0.00 to *5,000,000 ; anal I shodld think it was nearer the latter. You think he has a hird lot, but I assure you Mr. Hlairston manages all his matters as easy as most p ersorns woculd an estate of $10,000. li has overseers who are comnpelled to give him a written statement of what has been made and spent on each plardation, and his no groes are all clothed and fed from his own domestic manufacture ; and raising his own tobacco crop, which is immensely large, as so much clea gain every year, besides his increase in negroes, which is a fortune of itself.

In some pat tos of Lu *er Austria and Syria, and especially t the hilly re gion towards HunganrJ :t, re prevails among the p ti ay custon of eatmng arenie. It is eaten prf-.eily for one or hath ~f two purposes: First., that the eater mnay thereby acquire freshness of c''m plexion and plutpness of figure. For this purpose, as will readily be supposed, it is chiefly eaten by the y)ouueeg. Second, that. the wind may be impoved, ,o that long und steep heights may be clitmted without difli. cnity of breathing. By the middle. a.-ed and the old it is esteemed for its indfluence. and both results are de. scribed as following almost invariably from the use at' arsenic. 'Ter improve their appearance, young peasants, of both sexes, have recourse to it, some no doubt from vanity, and some with the view of adding to their charms in the eves of each other. And it is very retmnar kablo to see how won derfully well they attain their object for tetese poison eaters are generally remarkable for blooming complexions. and a full rounded healthy appear. ance. Dr. Von Tschuki gives the fol lowing case, as having occurred in his own practice: "A healthy but pale and thin milkmaid. residing in the par. ish ot 11- , had a lover whom she wished to attach to herself by a more agreeable exterior. She therefore had recourse to the well known puhifier. and took arsenic several times a week. ['he desired efeet was not Jong in showing itself, for in a few months she became stout, rosy.che;ede, and all that her lover could desire. In order however to increase the eff'ect, :-he in cautionsly increased the dose of arse. nic anid fell a victim to her vanity. She died poisoned-a very piainftul death." The number of such fatal ca ses, especially among young persons, is described as~ by *o means in consid erable. For the second purpose-that ot rendering the breathing'easier when going op hill-the peasnan puts a small fragment of arsenic in his mouth, and lets it disrsolve. Tinez effect is stenishc inzg. H-l ascends heights with facility. wich he co'uld not otherwise do witI. out the greatest diflicilty of breathing. T1he quantity of arsenic with which the eaters begin is about half a grabin, They contiue to take this quantity two or three times - week, in the morning fasting, till they become hab. ituzated to it. TIhey then cautiously in crease the dose as the quantity previ. ously taken seems to diminzish in itt effect. " TJhe peasant R---, says 19i. Von Tschudi, "a hale man of six ty, who enjoys capital hL alth at presen t takes fodvery dose a piece about twVL grains in weight. For the last forty years he has continued the habit, which he inherited from his father, and which he will transmit to his chiil, d rsn." No symptoms of illness or chroni< poisoning are observable in any oi these arsenic eaters, when the dose is carefully adapted to the constit utior: and habit of ho'ly of the person usin~ it. But, if from any cause the arseni< be left off for a time, symptoms 01 disease occur, which resemble those 01 arsenical poisoning ; especially a gr eal feeling of discomfort arises, great~ in diffesrence to every thing around, anx ieyaothis own person, deranget digestion, loss of appetite, a feeling of verlioading i the Sonsch upW thx t roito .aai mii the t paln.ti Sp stol'.

The most beautifu'l and effecting in. cident I know, assoctate with a ship wreck, is the following: The Gros. venor, an East Indianan, homeward bound, goes ashore on the coast of Caffraria. It is resolved that the offi. cers, passengers and crew, in number one hundred and thirty-five souls, shall endeavor to penetrate on foot across trackless deserts, infested. by. wild beasts and savages, to the Dutch set. tlements at the Cape of Good Hope; with this forlorn object before them, they finally seperate in two parties never more to meet on earth. There is a solitary little child atbong the passengers-a little boy of seven years old, who has no relation there' and when the first party is. moving away, he cries after some member of it who has been kind- to- him. The crying of a child might be supposed to be a little thing to men in such great, extremity, but if touches them, and he is ima-edlately taken info the detach. ments, from which time forth, this child is sublimely made a sacred charge; he is pushed on a little raft Hero-s broad rivers by the swiming -ailors; they carry him by turns through the deep sand and long grass, (ie patiently walking at all other times;) they share with him such pu. trid fi-h as they find to eat; they lie down and wait for him when the rough .carpenter, who becomes his especial frlend lags behind.

The captain stops exhausted, and his faithful coxswain goes back and is seen to sit down by his side, ar,.d neither of the two shal be any more beheld until the great last day; but, as the rest go on for their lives. they take the chld with them. The carpenter dies of poisonous ber ries eaten in sata vation, and the stew ard, succeeding'w the command of the party, succeeds to the sacred guardianship of the child. God knows all he does for the poor baby; how he cheerfully carries him in his arms when he himself is weak and ill; how lie feed's him when him self is griped with want, how he folds his ragged jacket, round him, lays his 'ittle worn facia with a woman's ten derness upon his sunburnt breast, soothes him in his stufierings, sings to him as he limps along, unlmindluil of his own parched and bleeding feet. )ividing 'or a few days from the rest, they dig a grave in the land and bury their good friend the oo6P&-tliese two coilipanions alone in the wilder ness-and then the time comes when both are ill, and beg their wretched partners in despair, reduced and few in number now, to wait, by them one day. They wait by tiem one day, they wait by them two da'ys. On the morning of the third they move very softly about, i'm making their prepara ti(Ins for the resumptioan of their journ ey; for the child is sleoping by the lire, and it. is agree'l with one consent that he shall not be disturbed un'til the last moment. The moment c .m'es, the fire is dying-and the child is dead. Ilis faithful fiend the steward lin gers btut a little while behind him. llis grief is great, he' staggers on for a few days, lies down in the desert and dies. But he shall be reunited in his ilmlmortal spirit--who can doubt it?-with the child, where he and the poor carpenter shall be raised up with thle words, " Inasmuchi as you have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto ne." Advrice to Young Women. Ti'ust not in uncertain riches, but prepare yourself for every emergency in life. Learn to work, and not to be dependent upon servants to make your bread ; swveep your floors anid darn your own stockings. A bove all things do not esteem'too lightly those honor. able young men who sustain them. selveswand their aged parents by the work of their hands, while you care for and receive into your company those lazy, idle popinjays, who never lift a finger to help th emselves as long as they can keep body and sonl to' get er, and, get . uficient to live in lashijon.

'-..-' REvENUE OF THIIvES IN ENGLAND. -Did any of our readers ever ask how much does a thief earn ? This is a financial' problem which should re ceive a clear and satisfactory solution. There are clerks, tradesmen, artists, clerg enon, officers, and journalists, who- ave not as large an annual in. come as some expert thieves. A clever thief can always show you some ready cash. He gets so many bales of silk, hampers of plate, caskets of jewels. bundles of bank notes, and all cash boxes full of glittering coin, that he cat aflord to live in luxury.' . Tho ag gregate gains of' successful depredators is really astounding to plodding souls, who never trouble thenmselves about the reveuies of' the dlishonest. But it is high time to enquire into the matter. We find, then, thme forty four thieves are ascertained to have stolen money, pla'te, watches,. joveira, shop goods, and other property, amountin;; to inure than twenty mdousar .pounds; and that during ai single year, the metropo. litan police accounted for stolen prop erty worth forty four thousand pounds. We need not wo-.der- stall this. Gen tlemen are so reckless of their pocket books, ladies of purses, and tradesmen ol their goods, that it is easy for a trained thief to secufe valuable booty ; and a member of' the predatory class never throws away a chance of' obtaig. ing rich plunder, and pleity'of it. We must not omit to remind our readeru, that a large number of thefis, biurgla ries and street r,.bberies are never punished. The plunder goes to min ister to the sen'sual propensit~ies of'the successful depredator, and the public rarely got to know'any-thing about the amount, of property taken.
