THE SMILE OF HER I LOVE. I can endure with steadfast mind Relentless fortune's frown e?erej If gentle love be left behind My drooping, anxious heart to cheer. For ne'er shall fortune's Btem decree With doubt my tranquil bosom more, If pitying heaven will leave on me The soothing smile of her I lore. I can behold with silent scorn Each fickle friend at once departs Can calmly bear the rankling thorn Of cold neglect tho' keen its smart. And should my doom extort one Bigh I would not cruel fate reprove; But every gloomy thought should fly Before the 6mile of her I love. But ah! a frown from her would kill The buoyant hopes of joy and peace T would make my griefs more bitter still; And all my sorrows Btill increase The mental pain it would inflict, No other mortal mind could know. A frown from her! O! 'twould predict A lasting life of peerless woe. But let her friendship and her love No mitigation ever knowThen happiness, as from above, In my rapt soul shall ever flow. No troubles can my mind annoy, Nor hope of purest bliss remove, If I'm permitted to enjoy Th-' enchanting smile of her I love. ALLITERATION. Frederick Fawner, famed for firmest friendship finding female flattery fruitless, fled far from fair frequented flourishing fields, fixed in far frowning forests, formed the following fine flourishing farewell, for false fallacious Fanny Fastidious: Flattering friends farewell forever, Hope hath hung her harp on high, Every effort or endeavor, Starts some serious sobbing sigh. When with warmest wishes wooing Lingered long love's languid look, Silent, still sublimely showing Firmest faith for forms forsook. Pleasing prospects prove protesting, Innocency is innate, Deserts dear delights distracting, t Far from former frowning fate. Pleasure '8 pleasing path pursuing. That through tearless time I tread, Vagrant virtues vainly viewing, She still pseudo Binning shed. False fallacious friend farewell, Shall Borrowing sighs still silent 6leep, To truant time thy troubles tell, Why with wearied wanderings weep. From a London paper. ADVENTURES OF A FEMALE SAILOR. The following aJventurcs of a young female, the subject of the present article, are so truly genuine, and so extraordinary marvel lous, that we cannot refrain from recommend ing the perusal of ,them to the attention of our readers. An incorrect statement ot the facts appeared in the papers during the early part of the week, but the annexed account being publicly adduced before the Lord May or, leaves no doubt as to its authenticity. His lordship, having read the statement, directed M'Lcan, the inspector of the city police, to make inquiry into the circumstances, in order that, if the girl required assistance, it might be rendered to her without subjecting her to armovance. McLean thought that the best thing he could do, after having heard the story of the girl from her own lips, was to bring her to the mansion house, and intro duce her to his lordship. He accordingly ap peared betore the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the girl, the captain of the vessel in which she came to London, and several gentlemen who felt an interest in the remarkable details of the fact. Captain M'Entire, of the Sarah, from Bel fast stated that he met the girl, whose name is Anne Jane Thornton, at 5t. Andrew's in North America. She was dressed in sailor's clothe's, and had all the appearance of hav ing been brought up to that employment He engaged her at nine dollars a month, to act as cook and steward, and considered that nhe was what she seemed to be until a few days before the arrival of the vessel in the port of London. It appeared that some of the crew had suspected her before she was teen washing in her berth, from the circumstance of her having repeatedly refused to urinic grog. The Lord Mavor. It has been reported that she was ill-treated by the captain and her crew. I wish particularly to be informed on that point. Captain M'Entire said that he would call upon the girl to say whether he had not uniformly treated her with kindness; and whether when her sex was discovered, the degree of kindness and care was not increased? The girl declared that Captain M Entire had acted towards her with humanity, and had desired her to complain to him if any of the crew treated her harshly. She had been. in the course of her voyage, struck by some of Hie sailors. DOCailse slip rrmlil nnt wnrlr nc nard as they did a thing she found it difficult to do in a gale of wind; but she did not tell the captain, as she determined to endure as much as possible without grumbling. The Lord Mayor Is it possible that this mere girl for she cannot hc more than sixteen or seventeen years of age performed the duties of a seamen! Captain M'Entire. It is, my lord. She performed them to admiration. She would

run up to hand the top gallant sail in any aort

of weather, and we had a severe passage. Poor girl, she had a hard time of it. She suffered greatly from the wet, but she bore it excellently, and wa; a capital seaman. The Lord Mayor. Is the account of the romantic pursuit of the person she was said to be attached to coirect! Is it as true that she went to America after the captain who was said to be her sweetheart. M'Lean said that the account she had giv en to him corresponded with that which ap peared before the public, but would herself mention the particulars. Captain M Entire stated that he had no doubt of the correctness of her statement. She was not at all given to loquacity; on the contrary, she did the dutv ot a seamen with out a murmur, and had infinitely a better use of her hands than of her tongue. This description of the female sailor seem ed to be accurate. Her hands appeared with thick brown leather gloves, and it was by repeated questioning the Lord Mayor got from her the facts of which the following is tho substance. Anne Jane Thornton stated she is in the seventeenth year of her age; her father, who is now a widower, took her and the rest of the family from Gloucestershire, where she was born, to Donegal, when she was six years old. He was owner of stones in that part of Ireland, and in good circumstances, and was always affectionate to her. She regretted that she had quitted her home, for her departure, as she had given no previous notice to her father, must have caused him many a sorrowful hour. When she was thirteen years old, she met Captain Alexander Burke, whose father resided in New York and was owner of vessels there; and before she was fifteen they become strongly attached to each other. Soon after Alexander Burke was obliged to go to New York, and she took the resolution to follow him. She quitted her father's house accompanied by a maid servant and a boy, and having procured a cabin boy's dress she exerted herself to get to America. She succeeded in her object. The servant maid and boy took leave other immediately upon her embarking, the latter being charged with a message to her father, informing him of her intention. By degrees she became reconciled to the labors of her new employment, but she beheld with joy the shores of New York, where she thought her labors would termin ate. The moment she landed she went offin her cabin boy's dress, to the house of Captain liurke s lather, and said that she had worked under the Captain's orders and wished to be engaged by him again. It was by the father of the young man that she was informed of the event which placed the eternal barriei between them, and she retired from the house disconsolate. America was, however, no place to look for sympathies. In the belief that the sea, which no doubt her affection for Burke recommended to her, was a more probable mode of existence than she could adopt in the dress of her sex, she applied for and obtained a situation as cook and steward in the Adelaide, and subsequently in the Rover, in which latter vessel she sailed to St. Andrews, where she fell in with Captain M'Entire. The Captain of the Rover had encaged to take her to lielfast,but he received an order trom the owners to sail for the West Indies; but as she was resolved to return to her fa ther as soon as possible, she refused to accom " w a . a panyhim. lor.il months she had been en gaged in these remarkable adventures, and participated in the most severe toils of the crews, of which she formed a part. The Lord Mayor. Are you not weary of soharrassmg a life. The girl. Yes, I am anxious to get home I hope and believe my father will forgive me for the sorrow I have caused him. I have had my own sorrow too. Captain M Lntire. 1 am anxious to pay her the wages I owe her, and 1 never had any idea of giving her less than 1 agreed to pay The Lord Mayor. How did it happen that you fancied the sailor's dress, well know ing that by assuming the appearance of one, you pledged yourself to perform such terrible duties. The girl. I couldn't think of any other way, and I did the duties as well as I could. I underwent a great deal. I travelled from East Port, in North America, to St. Andrew's bymysclf.a distance of seventy miles through the woods. 1 walked all the way. The Lord Mayor. And without sustaining anv iniurv! The girl. I received none, I knew the sai lor s clothes would carry me through safe, and at t. Andrew s I met Captain M Entire. Captain M'Entire. It was but a few days ago 1 learned that we had a cirl on board. I was the last person in the vessel who was informed of the fact, and I could scarcely credit the mate when he told me of it. I can bear testimony of the extraordinary propriety of her conduct, and I ask her again whether I have not acted properly towards her,particu larlyfrom the moment I became acquainted with the secret which she was so anxious not to have disclosed. The girl said that she was in gratitude bound to acknowledge the kindness and humanity of the captain, who instantly paid her all that was due to her. The Lord Mayor. I shall give direction that you be taken care of until I hear from your father to whom I shall write to night. You have done him great wrong by abandoning him undci' any pretence, but you have suffered bitterly for your disobedience, and I trust that you will, by your future attention and care prove to him that your affection is as strong as your courage in such circumstances of danger and trial as you have been placed, it has been so immcasureably beyond that of the rest of your sex in modern days. Many

gentlemen to whom I have spoken on the sub

ject looked upon the case as the coinage of tne orain, nut tne investigation has, if possioie, aaaea to tne interest ot the story. Captain M'Entire mentioned to the Lord Mayor that the proprietor of the Coopers Arms, in Lower Thames street, where the young woman is lodged is a respectable per son, in wnose nouse sne would be properly taken care of, and his lordship desired that she should remain in that asylum. The girl then retired, having greatly ac knowledged her thanks lor the humanity and solicitude of the Lord Mayor. She is of low statue, and her limbs are very firmly knit to gether her lace is comely her eyes are dark and brilliant, and her teeth are extreme ly white. The hardships to which she has been so long exposed have completely tanned her face and neck, but the sailor who acci dentally discovered her sex, declares thai the natural color of her skin is as white as snow. The female sailor, Anne Thornton, whose romantic history has appeared in the papers, is an wie go in ionaon. 1 he proprietor of a minor theatre has offer ed to pay her a guinea a night to appear in a character got up for her in a piece already prepared for representation. A celebrated artist also appeared to be allowed to take her likeness, and many proposals ouered to paylargely to exhibit her. MARRIED LADIES. The influence which Is pecularto married ladies. results from their conexion and inter course with their husbands and children. It is in vain for a man to say, "My wife shall not rule me." Now and then, perhaps, when their wills come in direct contact, he maykeep possession of the field, and flatter him? self that he has won the victory. But even then, his generosity, if hc have any, will induce him to waive any advantage he might have derived from it. And nineteen limes in twenty, when he thinks he is pursuing an independant course, and assumes all thecred it of his success, the suggestions or pursua sionsof his companion are influencing hisopin inns nnd r.ontrohnsr his conduct. If in addi tion to the usual charms of her sex, she pos scsses gentleness of manners, sweetness of dis positions, and a well cultivated mind, it must require a singular share of obstinacy to with stand her intluence in a single instance. As it regards the rising generation, the case is still more plain. Children, in the early pe riod of life, are almost wholly under the care and direction of the mother. Their minds are developed under her tender and constant cultivation, lheir characters are usually formed at an early period, when their ideas being few, impressions are easily made, and whew they naturally apply to their mothers for advice and instruction. Besides the great er freedom which is observable in their intercourse with her than with their father, and the fact that they arc almost continually in her society, it constitutes a great part of her occupication to unfold their tender powers, and to impact to them the rudiments of their education. A pious, intelligent and faithful mother, is the greatest earthly blessing that a merciful Providence can bestow on a child. If she per forms her duty, her offspring will rise up and call her blessed. It is evident from the biog raphies of Washington and Dwight, thattheir intellectual and moral greatness was derived from the blessing of heaven, on the instructions and advice of their mothers. The same is no doubt true of many, if not all, the worthies of our land, and the benefactors of our race. Jcro way to get a Hisband. A gentleman ot the bar, in a neighboring county, m easy circumstances and pretty good practice, had rendered himself somewhat remarkable by his attempts in the way of matrimonial speculation. A maiden, rather advanced in year?, residing some miles distant in the neighborhood, hearing of this lawyer's spec ulation propensity that his character was unexceptionable, and his situation in life tolerably good resolved upon making him her husband. She hit upon the following ex pedient. She pretended suddenly to be ta ken very ill, and sent for the man of the law to draw her will. He attended for that pur pose. By her will she devised 10,000 in bank stock, to be devided among her three cousins, some thousands in bonds and notes to a niece, and a vast landed estate to a favor ite nephew. The will being finished, she gave the lawyer a very liberal fee, and en joined secrecy upon him for some pretended purposes, thus precluding him from an inquiry into her real circumstances. Need I mention the result? In a fortnight the lady thought proper to be again restored to health. The lawyer called to congratulate her on her restoration, and begged permission to visit her, which was politely given. After a short courtship, the desired offer was made. The bargain was concluded, and ratified bv the priest. The lawyer's whole estate by his wife, consists of an annuity of sixty five dollars! Western paper. Clear Grit. When the list of justices for Mew-Haven, Conn, was announced in the late Legislature, ejecting twenty-one of the twenty-two incumbents, a member from that city rose and moved that the twenty-second be stricken off also. He thought his reapr pointrnent was entirely a mistake. It appeared, however, that the gentleman did not want the office, had not accepted (or qualified) last year, and probably would not. The motion was lost. jXcw Yorker. Liberal Act. We learn from the Southern Patriot, that the Directors of the Branch Bank of the United .States, in the city of Charleston. have resolved to appropriate 1,000 for the relief of the sufferers by the late fire.
