TO ALL.?How many have bit a Father, a Mother, '* a Sister, a Brother, or an innocent prattling child, and have not even the shadow of a resemblance to look up. on. After the separation, some "little toy" or trifling article is often kept for years, and cherished as a token of remembrance. How much more valuable would be one of Squier's perfect Daguerreotype Miniatures of the s "loved and lost." There is scarcely any one who does not take pleasure ,!n gazing on the features of a friend, and, when that friend has been removed by death, we often hear the | exclamation uttered with an expression of deep regret, L " Oh. what would I not give for such a picture of my friend." Reader, perhaps you cannot do a better thing, while your mind is upon the subject, than take an hour or two now, and visit the gallory; then you may, at some T future period, have reason to feel grateful for these "Gentle Hints" from SQUIER'S DAGUERR2AX GALLERY.

'tis lovo I 'tis love I Every heart entrancing.' Thus breathed our ' village pet'?Elsie Whitney, as languidly she leant against the trunk of ^ a majestic tree, whose waving boughs refreshed their verdant sprays by constantly imbibing a ^ portion of the ever-varviner current beneath them, T She was alone, or thought she was, and there v fore continued chanting the remaining stanzas of a the favorite ballad that she had commenced, f But, as she was about finishing the following '' lines:? 2 ' What melts the haughty beauty, ^ Aud conquers tier disdain ? J 0! 'tis lovol ic.' c she heard low footsteps directly behind her, and, c in a second, the clear, ringing voice of a female, ? thus burst upon the tranquil air:? ( 4 Ha, ha, ha! Miss Sentimentalist, so you think r that love will melt the haughty beauty, and i conquer her disdain, eh ?' I 4 Yes, Clara, for though you scorn my asser- t tion, I will repeat, as heretofore, that there is t such a thing as pure, undying ' [ 4 Love, you was about to add,' interrupted the s impatient Clara, 4 but come,' she added, 4 let's I iiasie 10 me spot, assigneu us lor sKeicmug, c-?so to-morrow will find us with tasks uncompleted, a and a lesson upon 4 Indolence' will consequently ensue. By the way, don't you almost detest our Governess ? I do, and am going to prevail upon mama to procure a better one ; she is so ill-natured if we don't do everything just as she says. O, I shall be so glad to get the old 4 vixen' out of my sight. 4 But perhaps your maina will not think best to ' 4 Yes, she will, she always lets me have everything as I wish. But we must go.' And thus saying, the half spoiled Clara Thurson, drew the arm of her gentle cousin?Elsie Whitney?within her own, and then they hastily sought, through the shady avenue, the romantic spot for the pursuance of their tastes. As evening advanced, the maidens?having finished their irksome labor?slowly bent their footsteps towards their home. They had been laughing and chatting gaily upon their first leave of the spot where they had been laboring so dili- s gently; but as they drew near a little thicket, through which the sheen waters of the Merrimac : shone like a half-concealed mass of burnished "! silver, their thoughts took a different turn and s they conversed in a more serious tone. Each t had, in turn, pointed out the beauty by which c they were surrounded ; for both were passionate 1 admirers of nature's works. And now, Elsie has ] /*A?n'oiHjmer unAn lnun I Vinr rWirlinnr 1 V/U(illtlCUV^U l?|/VU IVt Vj y uvt a topic) which I shall hero produce in her own 1 language, together with the replies of her friend I ?or cousin?Clara. 1 41 wish, Clara, that you believed as I do about i love; then we should think alike in everything? 1 then ' 4 Pshaw ! nonsense 1 there's no such thing as j love.

But I cannot bring my mind to believe that you think as you assert. You will at some future lay love.'

Elsie ~AThituev and Clara Thurson were cousins. Elsie was an orphan, and had recently ta- ' ien up her abode at her uncle Thursons, who possessed a ' goodly share of this world's goods.' Both girls were beautiful; but their minds as he reader has perceived, were not the least alike. \t the time of my sketch their ages were thir- ; ,een, aud fourteen, Clara being the senior of the 1 ,wo. ; Deeming that it would be but a source of enmi to the reader to follow these females through i series of school-day scenes, the writer will , glance over a space of ten years; at the expiraion of which time, she will bring the subjects of ler sketch?together with an incident or so, . vhich occurred in the intervening time?before J he reader. * * * * * * * 1 In a parlor of a superb mansion, are two fe- ! nales, which the reader will, as I proceed, reognize as Clara and Elsie.?They are, at pre- ( eut, in deep conversation, and as the one clad in 5 lark (mourning) is weeping the writer will at ] mce inform the reader of the cause. After five years of the most unhappy wedlock . hat ever existed, the unfortunate Clara had gain met with her gentle cousin, from whom * he had during that space been cstrauged. She ' ras rehearsing to Elsie?now the happy Mrs. ' jriiffin?the manifold sorrows that she had ex- ! terienced since their separation. The death of ler tyranical husband she said, was to her a ourceofjoy. She concluded by saying that 1 here was no happiness to bo had in marriage 1 without love. I Kidd, the Pirate. BY W. IRVING. j In old times, just after the territory of the 1 few Netherlands had been wrested from the ; lands of their High Mightiuess the Lords States j Jeneral of Holland, by Charles the Second, and < vhilc it was yet in an unquiet state, the province ( i'as a favorite resort of adventurers of all kinds, j ,nd particularly of bucaneers. These were pi- 1 atical rovers of the deep, who inado sad work < a times of peace among the Spanish settlements < ind Spanish merchant ships. They took advan- < age of the easy access to their harbor of the < danhattoes, and of the anxiety of the scarcely j irganized government to make it a kind of ren- < lezvous, where they might dispose of their hill- ? rotten spoils, and concert new depradations.? ] 1 Jrews of tliese desperadoes, the rene gades of eve- < y country and clime, might be seen swaggering ' j n open day, about the streets of the bourg, el- | jowmg its quiet Mynheers; trafficking away ] heir rich out landish plunder, at half-price, to < ho wary merchant and then squandering their ? rains in taverns, drinking, gambling, singing, < iwearing, shouting, and astonishing the neigh- i >orhood with sudden brawls and rurfian revelry. \ At length the indignation of government was t troused, and it was determined to ferret out this j ermin brood from the colonies. Great conster i lation took place among the pirates on finding ] ustice in pursuit of them and their haunts turned < o places of peril. Tliey secreted their money and i ewcls in lonely, out of the way places; buried 1 hem about the wild shores of the rivers and sea < oast, and dispersed themselves over the face of i he country. < Among the agents employed to hunt them by ea was the renowned Capt. Kidd. He had j rmnr Kaon .1 Knrdv ndv#>ritnror_ a killd of eailivO v,,b wvv" ? -----i ? - i :al borderer, half trader, half smuggler, with a i olerable dash of the pickaroon. He had traded or some time among tho pirates, lurking about he seas in a little rakish mosquito built vessel >rying into all kinds of odd places as busy jis a i llother Cary's chicken in a gale of wind. This nondescript personage was pitched upon : >y government as tho very man to command a essel fitted out to cruise against the pirates, ince he knew all their haunts and lurking places i ?acting upon the shrewd old maxim of "setting i rogue <fcc." Kidd accordingly sailed from New fork in the Adventure galley, gallantly armed ind duly commissioned, and steered his course to ,ho Madeiras, to Bonavista, to Madagascar, and sruised at the entrance of the Red Sea. Instead, lowever, of making war upon the pirates, turned lirato himself?captured friend or foe?enriched limsfllf with thfisnoilRof the wealthy Indiaman. manned by Moors, though commanded by an i Englishman ; and having disposed of his prize, lad the hardihood to return to Boston, laden with his wealth, with a crew of his comrades at lis heels. His famo had preceded him. The alarm was *iven of the re-appearance of this cut-purse of die ocean. Measures were taken for his arrest; 5ut ho had time, it is said, to bury the greater part of his treasures. He even attempted to Iraw his sword and defend himself when arrested but was secured and thrown into prison, with several of his followeJs. They were carried to England in a frigate, where they were tried, condemned, and hanged at Execution Dock. Kidd died hard, for the rope with which he was first tied broke with his weight, and he tumbled to the ground; lie was tied up a second time, and effectually; from whence arose the story of his having been twice hanged. Such is the main outline of Kidd's history; but it haR given birth to tradition. The circumstance of his having buried great treasure of gold and jewels nftor.returning from his cruising settho brains of all the good people along the coa3t in a ferment. There were rumors on rumors of great sums found here and there} sometimes in one part of the country, sometimes in another; of trees age barbarity near the Southern boundary of and rocks bearing mysterious marks no doubt indicating the spots where the treasure lay hidden; of coins found with Moorish characters, the plunder of Kidd's eastern prize, but which the common people took for a diabolical of magic inscription Some reported the spoils to have been buried in solitary, unsettled places about Plymouth, and Cape Cod. Many other parts of the eastern coasts, also, and various plaaces on Long Island Sound have been gilded by these rumors, and have been ransacked by adventurous money-, diggers. uD _ Mount Hecla. The whole region at the foot of Hecla, and especially at this place, appears to be undermined, and the heavv foots tens of the neasants were echoed in the hollow, menacing tones, such as I have never heard at Vesuvius or any where else. These sounds appeared very awful to me when I was alone at night, shut up in my dark retreat. My Hecla guide?I call hira so to distinguish him from the one who had accompanied me From Iieikja\ick?announced to me that we must be off by three o'clock. I readily agreed, though [ felt very certain that it would be five before we were in our way; and so it proved. In fact, it was past six when we were completely ready to set out. Besides a store of bread and cheese, a bott'e of water for myself, and one of brandy for .he guide, we also provided ourselves with long sticks, ending in a sharp iron point, which we were to lean upon aud use to sound the snow before we ventured to tread on it. It was a beautiful warm morning, and we gallopped gayly over meadows and the adjacent sand plains. This hue weather was considered i very favorable omen by my guide, who told ne that Mr. Geimard, the French naturalist already mentioned, had been delayed three days py a storm before he could ascend the rooun;ain; this was nine years ago, and no one had nade the attempt since that time. A Danish prince who travelled through Iceland a few vears since had been here indeed, but for some unexplained reason he had left the place without uniertaking to visit Hecla. The road led at first, as I have already said, .hrough fields, and then across the patches of plack sand, which are surrounded on all sides by itreams, hills, and hillocks of lava, whose fearful nasses gradually approach each other, and frequently afford no other passage than a narrow lefile, where we scrambled over the blocks and piles with scarcely a spot to rest our feet. The ava rolled around and behind us, and it was nejessary to be constantly on the watch to prevent purselves from stumbling, or to avoid coming in jontact with the rolling rocks. But the danger was even greater in the gorges filled with snow ilrendv softened bv the heat of the seasou. where kve frequently broke through, or, what was worse, slid backward at every step almost as far as we had advanced. I do not believe there is another mountain in the world whose ascent offers as many difficulties as this one. After a toilsome struggle of three hours and a half, we reached the place where it became ne lessary to leave the horses behind; which I should have done long before, as I felt compassion for the poor animals, if my Hecla guide would have flowed it; but ho maintained that there were still spots where we might need them, and advised me, moreover, to ride as long ts possible, in order to reserve my strength for what was still before me. And he was right; [ hardly think I could have completed the whole distance on foot; for when I thought I had attained the last peak, I still found streams and hillocks between me and my goal, which seemed constantly more remote than ever. My guide assured me that he had never led any one so far an horseback, and I readily believe it. The walking was already horrible, but to ride was fearful. From every height new scenes of the most melancholy desolation appeared in sight; the whole prospect was rigid and inanimate, and burnt, black lava was spread around us wherever we looked. It was not without a painful sensation that I gazed about me, and saw nothing but the immeasurable chaos of this stony desert. ? * - i'i. . 1? t. xl I we had still three neignts 10 cnmo, mey were the last, but also the most perilous. The road led abruptly over the rocks by which the whole summit of the mountain covered; I had more falls than I could count, and frequently tore my hands on the sharp points of lava. It was, to be sure, a terrible expedition. The dazzling whiteness of the snow was almost blinding, contrasted with the shining black lava alongside of it. When I had to cross a field of snow, I did not venture to look at the lava, for I had tried it once, and could hardly see in consequence. I was snow-blind. At last the summit was attained, after two more hours of laborious climbing, and I stood upon the highest peak of Hecla; but I looked in vain for a crater; there was no trace of any to be found ; at winch I was all the more astonished, as I had read minute accounts of it in several books of travels. I walked around the whole summit of the mountain, and clambered to the jokul which lies next to it, but still I saw no opening or crevice, no sunken wall, nor any sign whatever, in fact, of a crater. Much lower down on the sides of the mountain I found some wide rents and chinks, whence the streams of lava must have flowed. The height of the mountain is said to bo 4300 feet. The sun had been obscured during the last hour of our ascent, and thick clouds now rushed down upon us from the neighboring glaciers, which concealed the whole prospect from our sight, and prevented our distinguishing anything for more than ten paces before us. After awhile they dissolved, fortunately not in rain, hut in snow, which soon covered the dark, crisp lava with large and innumerable flakes; they did not melt, and thermometer showed 1 deg. of cold. Gradually the clear and inimitable bine of the heavens re-appeared, and the sun once more rejoiced us with his presence. I remained on the top of the mountain till the clouds had opened in the distance and afforded a welcome and extensive view, which I fear my pen is much too feeble to describe. I despair of conveying to my readers a distinct idea of the immense waste which lay displayed before me, with its accumulated masses of lava, and its peculiar appearance of lifeless desolation. I seemed to stand in the midst of an exhausted fire. The blocks were piled in heaps above each other, till they formed hkjh hills; the valleys were choked with streams of rock, whose length and breadth I was not able to distinguish, although the course of the last eruption could be plainly traced among them, i I was surrounded bv the most dreadful ra vines, streams; caves, hills and valleys; I could hardly understand how I had reached this point, and was seized with a feeling of horror at the thought which forced itself upon me, that perhaps I might never be able to find my way out of this terrible labyrinth of rain. Here, on the highest peak of the Hecla, I . could look down far and wide upon the uninhabited land, the image of torpid nature, passionless, inanimate, and yet sublime; an image which, once seen, can never be forgotten, and the remembrance of which will prove an ample conpensation for all the toils and difficultiesi had endured. Awhole world of glaciers, mountains of lava, fields of snow and ice, rivers of miniature lakes,were, included in that magnificent prospect and the foot of man had never yet ventured within those regions of gloom and solitude. What must have been the fury of the resistless element which produced all these rr ? ? a i 'i. ... . ! J ! or enecw: ii.na is :is rage now suencea ior ever! Will it be satisfied with the ruin it has worked 1 Or docs it only slumber, like the hundred headed Hydra, to burst forth anew with redoubled strength, and waste those few cultivated spots which are already scattered so sparingly throughout the land ? I thank my God that he has allowed me to sec this chaos of his creation; and I doubly thank him that my lot was cast ia those fair plains where the sun does more tbaXi'. divide the day from night; where it warms and animates plants and animals, and excites the heart of man to happiness and gratitude towi&ds his Maker.?From Ida Pfciffer's Iceland, A Good Answer.?The noted "wise man" has laid down two rules for answering imperii' nent and foolish questions, he says: "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest " thou be like him." "Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit/' It is not always easy to determine which of these apparently contradictory rules should be followed, when some self-conceited upstart undertakes to astonish you with a question which * he supposes will evince a remarkable shrewdness on his part. But Greeley of the New York Tribune, has, for orce, hit the nail on the head, in replying to a correspondent signing himself " A Student," and wishing to know the editor's opinion of secret societies. His answer is : " 'A Student' should bear in mind that about the most cowrdly and indefensible secret society we know is that composed of one member who a + nn/1 Kio nnmo " Wlliwa lUbl^I auu lUbiiiiViuo 11M littmvi We think that "a student" might by this time return to his studies, satisfied that Greeley could "see as far into millstone as those that pick it." Men will make themselves ridiculous, but none show themselves greater asses than those who are continually harping on what they call "secret societies. The societies to which they refer, so far from being secret, "are known and read of all men," and the members who compose them are not ashamed of their connection. Their principles and doings are before the world, and what are called secrets in their case, are just what are found in every well-regulated family, and in all the business transactions of life. This sickly whining about "secret societies" is equal to an emetic, any time, and makes the meddler * appear about as dignified, in the eyes of discerning persons, as he would if he were under the influence of a good dose of ipecacuana. But it is difficult tor some animais to conceal men eaio. [Olive Branch. Gen. Thomas Jefferson Sutherland died at the Iowa Mission, in Nebraska territory, on the 7th ult.
