Register, of February "Jd: flu' schooner Illlon, from Texas, went all to ori'tlm HI inche, in thejStorm of last Wed;0;i;.!v: all perished except four. What renders .i, s ,re'.::at .nice the mare distressing is, that the i;;:e:i hid on board some noble spirited young offioj:s boLinglng to the Texian army, who were on tl.eirway from the BUize to .Mo!)ile and New York t.ri;se recruits, when they heard of the dreadful c t i itio'.i of the families near Cape Sable, in Flor:h; tl.ey immediately sailed for that course and t!"::r a very severe fight with a party of Indians, ti.cv jillant'y rescued the wife and two daughters of Mr. Perseot from destruct ion, after their lather i.u! been brutally butchered: Mrs. IVrscet died tWaj aiter they left the coast of Florida. Wi.oii the vessel struck, the main mast went hv tV.e beard, f weeping away with it the captain and U'o seamen; two other seamen were drowned in the j.dly-boat which was swamped under the vessel's 'stem; the remaining seamen, with two officers, Mr. Viu-han F. Harris, of Florida, and William R. A" re, of F.tigland, being the only survivors aftortfu esigigenient with the Indians, then contracted a raft upon which they placed the young IiJ.es. and committed themselves t ) the waves; li t ur from the shore a heavy sea breaking over thee.), they were all sweft from the raft; Captain Ihrns seized the eldest daughter but both unfortJiia'.ely sunk to rise no more, owing to the weak rtite ia which Captain Harris' wounds had left him. Capt. Attre, who was also wounded in several places, dived and caught the youngest daughter after she had sunk, and providontuilly reached the shore in safety with her, the seamen also reached the shore on a spar. Miss Perscot still remains very ill, Mr. Attre is fast recovering. The latter, we believe, has a mother in iew York.

A Jwksii.e Yankee Trick. In the village of
.New Bediord, say the Providence Herald, the bovs were in the habit of playing at ball. A crossgrained old chap, who kept a crockery store, was somevl,at annoyed by the juvenile sport; and whenever a ball came in his way, would seize upon it. tike it into his store, and clap it into his stove without ceremony. A few days since, having DaJe a prize of one of the most "offensive articles in question, and adopted the usual course, he soon found he had 'caught a Tartar.' A horrible explosion took place the stove was blown sky high the store was shattered by the shock and about fifty dollars' worth of crockery was dashed in pieces: It is unnecessary to add, that the urchins, who had so often been interrupted in their sport bv 'Seursopg,' had charged their ball with gunnowder.

A scene in the W i st The Louisville Journal of a late date says: "John 1$.

A gentleman from Nacogdoches, in Texas, informs us, whilst there, he dined in public with Col. Crockett, who had just arrived from Tennessee. The old bear-hunter, on being toasted, made a speech to the Texians, replete with his usual drv humor. He began nearly in thisstyle: "I am told", gentlemen, that, when a stranger," like myself arrives among you, the first inquiry is what brought him here! To satisfy your curiosity at once as to myself, I will tell you all about it. " I was, for some years a Member of Congross.

The above may be taken as a fair speci

abounds. Common consent seems to have ex
tended the benefits of the habit to men of every character; and those who refuse to deal on a credit seem destined not to deal at all. Hut, w ith all its disadvantages, this custom may be as profitable as that of cash payment, as a story told by one of our friends will sen e to show. In a thinly settled part of this beautiful and prosperous state, where the corrupting influences of civ ilization have not entirely eradicated the original constituents of human nature, such as the love of life, liquor, and ea?e, and where enjoyment is dealt out by the gill, two natives concluded to do something handsome in the wav of speculation.

so is it the most infalliable bond of union be
tween hearts that truly beat in response to each other. There is more tenderness in the disposition of woman than man: but the affection of a brother is full of the purest and most generous impuhes; it cannot be quenched by aught but indelicacy or unworthiness. and it will outlive a thousand selfish and sordid attachments. A derp-rooted regard for a gentle creature born of the same parents with ourselves is certainly one of the noblest feelings of our nature, and w ere every other feeling of human nature dead save this, there would still a bright hope remain that the fountain of virtue and principle was not yet sealed.

THE CHRISTIAN CHARACTER. A Christian w ho is meek, humble, patient, kind, and lays himself out to be useful to others who condescends to their ignorance, w eakness and infirmities one w ho passes hy provocations, injuries, and contempt, with patience and with silence, except when the glory of (iod and the honor of (ruth call for a vindication that pities all sorts of men in their failings and miscarriage who is free from jealousies and evil surmisings loves what is good in all, and even his enemies, who maltreat him; such an one gives a fairer exhibition of the Christian character, of true and genuine Christianity, the virtues and excellencies of Christ, than thousands can do by means of the most splendid works of piety and charity w here the frame of mind is wanting in them. For men in follow the exam
ple of Christ, while they are proud, wrathful, envious, bitterly zealous, calling for fire from heaven to destroy men, or fetching it themselves from hell, is to cry to the Savior, 4IIail, Master!' and crucify hini afresh unto their own power. Dr. Lhecn.

Illinois. The Congressional canvass in Illinois has opened with spirit. Wm. L. .May, a Yhii Buret, Member of the present Congress, has been announced in his District as a candidate for re-c!ec-tion, and is opposed by John J. Stuart, a zealous Whig, who, it has said, has every prospect of success. Cov. Reynolds is again a candidate in his district, and is opposed by Adam W. Snyder, a brother Tory, and by T. I). CJatewood, a powerful and influent ial champion of Whig principles. There is scarce a doubt of Mr. C's. election. Mr. Casey, in the remaining district, is oppns-ed by Col. Alexander P. Field, the present Secretary of State, and probably the most popular man in Illinois. Col. Field's chances of success are said to be as
lions. In a little, while one of them became

Cur.r.nrcLNEss. It was remarked by Goldsmith that we ought always to reflect whenever we feel down hearted at the common occurrences of life, how little we shall regard such petty troubles six months or a year hence; and 1 have alwavs considered this a very useful suggestion. The exceeding good nature displayed by uncle Toby when he caught the lly that had been tormenting him for a considerable time, is w orthy of universal praise. ''Go, poor devil!" said he, "the world is wide enough for thee and me." Yes reader, just think how wide the world is. and you will never wirh yourself out of it. The sailor who thanked God when his leg was shot off in battle, that it was not hii head, w as more of a king at heart, than the foolish emperor w ho sat dow n and cried when he had conquered the known world, because there were no more worlds to conquer.
