"When Smith arrived at the surfage of

for about two or three seconds, and then
commencedto s*= most gallantly. I
ordered the boat to make for him with all

dragged him into it. I then saw that he

of aartion. The two boats approached
side by side, andl observed that he was
lnsenstble, that the blood had left his lips.
I ordered them to change his position to
the'.angle of 45'degrees, and opened the
collar of his shirt, which was 6rmly but
toned. There was no sign of respiration,
a pulsation at the wrist had ceased. I
opened his hands, and struck them with
my own open hands se at times, when
he appeared to return to animatinn, and
in a few seconds he spoke to me. I asked
him if he was hur in any part of the xlody.

thigh and leg, and to a certain extent upon
the breast." He stated, also, that the
current of wind which was much greater
that he expected, "slewed" him round in
his descent, and that the wind was taken
out of him. I begged that he would go
as quietly to his qiiarters as he could. and
thatsevery care %ould be taken of him.
I returned to his quarte ra, at Winter's Hit

going the people who were ass-milded in,

mat approve of, and with some entreaty be

yi fkins and Miucehel. They appeared
cvry anxious to sell the girl, giving as a
reason, h at a piece of land which they
~owned was soon to be sold under an exe
APh eution, and that they wished to make a
te~ raise mnoney for the purpose of

ast dayr, that there might be something
rm to the transaction, the girl was
:: qestioned closely, hut still persisted ini

who sold her. At length, however.) of
--''herown accord, she stated that neithe-rof
- 1 the men was her master; that their names
were not those in the bill of sale, and that
they do not live in Wayne county. She
* says her master lives in Sampson county.
and that his name is John Base; that she
ran away from him some time sioee, and
agreed with these two men to take her off
* to some distant place and sell her. Their
real names she states to be ?datthew Rlay

name is Merinda.
Early on Friday morning, upon the
strength of this statement, her purchaser
started in pursuit of the individuals who
sold her to him. The two men who gave
- their names as Mitchell and Wilkins, took
the Western read, and are in a two horse
t4 ~ eart, with a pair of grey horses.
We had prepared the above statement
for publication last week, but concluded to
defer it until we could ascertaia whether
the g'sestatement was true or not The

her statement to be tsubstantially correct.

WonderfuL Filtratioa--An invention ~
has been recently brought forward, which
is calculated to have a vastly beneficial sa
effect in filering and so purifying all the a
water lor domestic and other purposes ine
the kingdom. Lord Broughamn, with
many other emiuent savna, has been
surprised and delighted at the eliects pro
duced. A machine only five feet square
has been made to filter the enormous quan
tity of two millions five hundred thou.'
and gallons in every twenty-four hours
and sat, too, so thoroughly and ellnesu
ally, that water charged with mud, ani
mlculo, and discomposed vegetable mat
ter has been produced as bright and
sweet, as it originally issued from the
spring. TIhe tmerit of this tmtst useful
and valuable inveution, belongs to a lLus
sian merchant of the name of Stuckey,
ased the water fillered by has been exam
ind mud certified by P'rofessur Phillips,
the etmiunet chemist.
Idle Daughdrer.-lt is, says Mrs. Ellis,
a most painful spectacle to families where
the mnother is the drudge, to see tihe
daughters elegantly dressed, reclinitng at
their ease, with their drawing, their mu
si, their fancy work, and their readin;
beguilmng themnselves of the lapse of hours,
days and weeks, and never dreatming of
their responsibilities ; but as a necessary
consequence of' the neglect of duty, grow
ing weary of theif'useless lives, laying
bold ofevery newly invented stimulant to
rouse their droopitng energies, and blam
lg their fate whetn they dare not blame
their God, for having placed them where
they~ are.
Tese individuals will often tell you
with an air of mffected e,.m passion-for
whocan believe it real 1-that "poor dear
mamma is working herself to death."
Yet no sooner do you propose that they
shoud assist her, than they declare she is
quite in her element-in short that she I
would never be happy if she had only
half as much to do.

The Thrte Stages ofa National Bank
-Mr. John C. Spence-, the present
Whig Secretary of War, aud late one f
the most pronninet ladero of that party
in the State of New York. gives in his
recent letter a skt-tcb of the prinucipal sta
ges of the United States Baw .which -'
will be weIIder, e
t n f r * I to.8
-ne frar'l #as -from-181 w38
before 31r. Diddle war Presidenz.". Of
this stage Mr. Spencer gives the follow
ing picture:
la" Withn fu years of its existence, the
latBn fthe United States became
little better than a den of robbers. Its
macagers, with few exceptIons, pursued
a systematic scheme of plunder unid fraud
which was arrested iby the investmgattions
of a Committee of Congress."
The econd stage wsas while it was still
a nationa-l instit:tion, but had passed un
der the managemen of Mr. Biddle. This
stage i~a j.ortrayed by Mr. Spencer in these
lines:
SClemency (now believed to have
been mistaken) towards iuuocent stock
hldersa, and a hope that the exasmpe
nhich had beetn smile uf the offenders
would deter sthers from simialar prnacti
cci, saved tbe bank from disolu.ion. It
was allowedi top prceedi undert new res
trctionms, designed to prevent the recur
rentce oufimiar fraud.s. In a few yeatr',

ration fromt the~ repres.-im a ive-. sif a mminori
iy of tihe people ofm l'enncsylvantia. This
stage i-i is deecribed by Mr. Sp.neer:

Amid thy silent bowers,
'Tis sad but sweet to dwell;
Where falling leaves and dying flowers
Around me breathe farewvell.
Along thay sunset skies,
Their glories melt in shade,
And like the thiniga wo fondly prizeo.
Seem loyelier as they fade.
A deep and crimson streak,
The dyinag leaves disaclote ;
As, on Consumptins waning cheek,
'Mid ruin blooms the roise.
The scene each vi-sion brings,
Of beauty and decay ;
Of fair anid early faded things.
Too expuisite to stay.
Of joys that come no more:
Of tiowers whose bloom is tied;
Of farewell's, wept uaponi the shore
Of friends.-estanaged or dead.
Of all that now may seemi.
To memory's icarful eye;
The vanished beanty of ;a sham~~.
O'er whiacli we gaze and sigh.
