Tim Htn.NiNu SnIP AND THE SIGNAL
GuNs.-Late in t autumn of 18-, ha11
pened to lie in the southern part of the .
States, when some aflfiirs of importance re
qimred my spee.ly appearance in Italy.
I engaged a passage in a vessel which
was aoult to Riil freom Charleston, laden
witi Cotton, ror Marseilles. The ship was
conainded by Capt. S., who was also the
owner of the4 enrgo.
Without any note-worthy occurence, we
had arrived within a few days' sail of the
c0nis of Spain, when we spoke a ship which
hal just come from Marseilles; the vessels
exelangel the latest pnpers of their respec
tive Countries, used went on nanini in their
several courses. When the French papers
were opeied within our schip. our captain
read with unetxpeCte'd delight. that so siall
was tIhe sUp)ly of cotton in the nauket, and
so strang the demand for it, that the next
vesse'l that arrived with a frcighat ofit, mnight
cointld almost tiny price whichi the ava
rice l the owner should dictate. The cap
tain perce'ived that lie might, pretty certain
ly. relize a splendid foinue; a considera
lion which filled himl with the most enthu
smnstic joy. .very Sail was expanded to
the wind, and we advanced with the great
e"t rapidlily.
On the' following morning a light was
descried apparently directly in the course
which we were makinig; as we proceeded
briskly, however, it 1ell to the south of us, I
iad we perceived that it was a ship on fire.
lhe light increawed every moment, and the I
signal gtuns fell upon our cars with distress- I
ing ra pitlity. The captain was at this time i
Paing the (leck, as lie had dtonle almost I
consiaily since the intelligenrce had reach
ed linm from the passiitg vessel; for the <
restl..,smess of expectalion scarcely allowed
h, im to repose, flor i isoment. Ilii eye was
lirere'd resolttely towar-l the niorth, and
althouig he' light non glared unshunable,
and tle fretaeur shots could inot he uithard, i
and the commot ion anid exclaiations of the
pass-ngers cotld not he imnotteed---his
glainces never fel iIupon the object which
engiiss'eLd aill others.
After a ti-w moinetats of intense wonder I
and excitement among the passengers and I
crew at liesilence of' theeaptain. the steers- t
man called to iam and asked i' we should J
tot turn out to the distressed vessel; but the
ruely ordred i to
solicitation of the whole coipantiny on board,
I wenit till to the captain aud said to him
that I deemed it nmy duty to inform him that
ihe universal desire of the crew was that
relief shou d lie given to the burning ship.
lie replie'd with a1gitationa that the vessel I
could not Ie saveel, ialil should only lose the
n% ind ; anid inteidiately went tow to tie
clIin and loc'ked tlie dour. He was a kind
hearied man by nature, and oi ordinary
occasions feiw% woutll have takcn greater
trotlelmr to bIenaefilr a fellow beintg. But tle
proelac of riche- was too much for his vir
tue: the hope of' great gain devoured all the I
better feclings of his nature, and made his
heart as hard as stone.
The crew, ini this condition of things, hail
niotlitig to do iaut to lament the master's
cruelty, aid submit to it. They watched
the4 liery mis, conscious that a large com
lian of their biathiern was perishing within
their siltli, who, by their efrorts, tight
probialay lie sur ed. It wits not for several ,
liurs that the clitain appeared again upont
toe deck. al from ihis appearance then, I
i:giite that a he coanflict during this solitude
iurist h:ve been severc and trying. I stood
e u hn as lie catme i). Ilis face had a
igid, yet arious look; tle couantenatace of
a man wiho baved, vet feared somie shock.
Ilis bjac'k was turneid toa the qlnarter from
%n I'elh we caie, :and1 iU that position lie ad
dlressedt meit calmn'lv some inliflerent obtserva
tions. While the conversation went on, lie
cast ftalieasent hurried glances to the seouth
aind easI, till his eves had swept the whole
horizou. and lie l:nl satisfied himself the ship
was no loeret' inl view
When we eelied our dest ination, I found
a ship jist prat'frinug to sail liar lorenee.
anda I tooak tiy passage, leaving tfie capataini
tea dispose of' his carge, at his pleasure.
Abaoat eight aioenihs after' this, wheat I had
ralriost foargotteni the occt'turee. I was sit
titag ini the priv"ate panrlor eaf at Lotidon hotel,
when a letter wias putt itato mny hiatnds rom
Ciapt. S. It statede, that the writer, who was
iti the eii y, haad haeardl eahiay ara'ival, & wotuld
estceemi it a v'et'y " teat kiindnaess if I woauld
visit himi at my13 el'iest le'isure ; nmy comaiing
wunitae he of' the utmaost impjor'tancee to himi
self no othe aers; his servanmt, it aiede, waiteed
toashocw tie the wv'. I immrneiately set,.out
tea coplyl withI the req1ue'st.
Iliaii entteing i lie roomti I was shocked at
lie change whtich te aie place ini his iap
peariance. I I wias thin, plelt aied haggard,
withi a wvildnesas of' eye thirt alnost indicated

adevanitrageonis termns~; andh was renadered at
onae at rich maen. Th'le poss~ession of wealth
was new tel tme, ratnd its enjoaymaent aded, ini
myu case, to its tusual gratification, ahe charmi

maniniy weeks 'if the highest pleasuire, unitil
one day, oni ete'irg a cnfo I took upaa Ga

the awful hurnaing of' H. 13. M. ship--..My
beurcrt beat und my frame shivered ut ?
read every n ord of tie article. The vessel
which I had passed the duy before had seen
the light from a great distanee annd immntedi
Itely rut back to render aissist 'ance, but ar
rived too late to rescue moro than two or
the crew. They reported that a vessel
passed to the north of them within half an
hour's sail, but paid no regard to the repea
teil .nals ; upon the corn mmander' o tal t
ship, thne article concinded, must rest the
loss of two hundred persons.
Aly peace of mind was gone forever.
Wherever I went that day, I was haunted
4y remorse. I retired to bed that I mnigtn
rorget in sleep the tort tires of the day ; hut a1
terrible dream brought belbre ity ind tihe
whole scene of the con flagraeion, wii h a roar
f sngual guns. I awoke with horror.
rhrice on the same night did I compose
,nyscit tosleep, anl thrice was I awakened
by tie repetition of the drenn. For many
nurs ott tihc succeeling day my spirits were
thockingly depressed, but life gav conpany

Q serenity, and by night I was tolerabiv

rielded to this band of tortnentors I shouhl
inickly be maddened by sull'ering, I resilvedl

vays when awake, in mastering the VImtU

Mammoth IBone.-In the exeavatioi of
j tie Brunswick mid Alatamiaha Canal,theire
t has been discovered, about live Mailes frOmla
t this place, a large deposite of hoie' of x.
j traordimiry size, and in a reiairkable state
of preservation. Several vertebra',of eight
inehes in transverse diameter, have been
discovered. Teeth, inl which the to,) is 9
inches in the longer diameter, and 5 inatees
inl breadth, anid about as large as a niau's
hat, have also been excavated. Th t
were evidently of* a molar character. There
have beet fonnd also smaller teeth of' itore
solid structture, wviti pointed crowns, and
apparetly belonging to (omne Carnivorous
aninal. Porions of l:re tusks l:ve also
been excavated, of the perfect striututtre of
ivory. These last wereamuch eriiihiled,
but to judge by the size oft the circles inark
ed in the ivory, the original diameter of tlif
tusks could not have been less than ten or
twelve imehies. It is probable tat tire priii
