port, at about three in the afternoon, a water-spout vis obs'TveJ at a short distance to leeward; every
,h nj was tiken in, to t!ie topsails, and tlioy were Iowsred on the caps. In a few monients it was c'o3 aboard and passed at the distance of twenty fet astern, with a rushinp tound louder than the r4ring of the winds- As it passed, the brigs iiiisi whs slowly and gradually inclined to the water, unt l she was completely cspsized. Fortunately, every body was on deck at the time, and got up on the side of the vessel above water. 1'liey cut away her masts, and she righted full of water. It blew fresh for 4 days, and she lay with t!ii se washing over her. During this time one wt'.vo vessels pissed without noticing them. As n as it feil calm, they pumped out the water, rifled jury masts, and made the best of their way to Rio. This was a narrow escape truly, and leads to '.. presumption that the variation of a few feet in '.li course of the water-spout as it passed the veswlxcmild have caused her immediate destruction. If tbis supposition be correct, may we not find in the foregoing account an explanation of the as yet snknoivn cause of the loss, on the same coast and in about the same latitude, of several Haltimore etfls with all on board the tine new brig Mary, alwat two years ago; the brig Cervantes" which hxi on board, as passengers, three experienced Jkltunore captains and three or four mates; and at a still earlier period Hie brig .Maryland. Yinezi Kt,.v. The New York Courier and F.nr.rer of Saturday contains some later accounts irom Venezuela. That ill-fated country seems certified to !ii the continued sport of revolution. One chief no sooner is placed in the Presidency, ttwi he is compelled to resign to give place to tome rival chief; or is put down by the force of arms, and the pUcc is misurped by some military chielain. The Courier says, "we are credibly informed that letters from Laguira were received in town by the last arrivals from Jamaica, which 3tes that after the President of Venezuela, Dr. Virgss, liad resigned, the Vice President, Dr.
Nivartd, had assumed the duties of that office; and ,'uuGen. I'acz, at the head of the army, had proclaimed himself Supreme Chief of the Republic, alleging as a reason for his step, that the Congress lad refused to follow his auvis-e in relation to their prvveeding against the reformers, or taKe any mesfure M appease the trouble. and political dis-Kss-.ons which prevailed, and that it was the only means by which the country could be saved from tie Lorrors of civil war."

years, his farm 3 ielded abundantly. But with wedlock came children, and with f hildren
came many new wants, and with these many new wants there came no increase of land. Therefore, they could hot be gratified; and the l:!teenth anniversary of his wedding dav, witnessed the sale of the little farm of Mr. Ellcry. His family, coiiMsting of himself, his ife, three daughters, and n infant son. were getting ready to ivmove to the Great West. Illinois was at that time thought to be the paradise of this section of the Union; and to Illinois Mr. Tdlcry had determined to remove. He should leave Xew-England without many regrets. He had lived a hard life, and an easy one was in prospet t. His elder children
were well educated for a farmer's daughters, and by (he (imc the younger would be old enough to go to school," there would he good country schools in his neighborhood, and he should then he better able than he had 3d

That youth was Ceo'. Ayton, the lover of Mary Ellen ; and theirs was the saddest parting of all. J many an after day did he seek that spot, and stand and gaze down the road which the emigrants had taken. He would laugh at himself, sometime s, and go away ; but 'twas nouse; it was hallowed ground' to him, and thither, the next pleasant eve, Lis unprompted fret would hear him again. With the toils ami (roubles inseparable from such a journey, the little party reached the land of their destination, if not that of promise. Mr. Ellcry had not vet made hi? purchase; and the family were left at a picasant village, while he went upon that business. Their ho?ts were attentive, and the inhabitants generally, some of them from their own Xew-Englai.d, hospitable; so that the fewweeks Mr. Eilerv was absent, were passed
happily enough. Mary alone was sorrowful.
and she only ivicn alone. That -achin? void."
which exists in the bosom when the htart is absent, was hers; and it w.is sometimes filled
with sad presentiments. But her father had purchase d his hind, and built their 'castle,' as he called it at his return; and all was gaiety
imong the little party of emigrants, as thev
started once more upon their journey to the El Dorado of their imaginations. Three
nights they had to 'camp out,' and on the morningof the fourth day, in the leafy month of June,' they reached their own domains.
It was yet early when thev hahed on the hanks of this beautiful stream. The birds had not ended their matins; and the woods resounded w ith the melody of the husv warblers. It was with feelings of pride and satisfaction that the father informed his family they now stood 'under their own vine and lig tree,' and indicated the direction of the small
cabin which had been built for their reception. Tl. ... 111 . 1 .
i ue vouug cuiiureii were iriskitig about on the richly carpeted hanks of the stream, their wild and disheveled hair covered with thousands of glittering dew-drops, shaken from the slender saplings, and their cheeks flushed with the healthful exercise. Mr. Eilerv nnd his .w ife. stood on a slight eminence, suggesting to each other matters for future consideration, and already planning a bandied little conveniences. Mary and her eldest sister had wandered up the stream a few rods, and were standing upon a considerable rise, w hich commanded a most delightful view.

joy was intense and Mary shared her feeliii"s.

She felt that her body alone was in this enchanting paradise: her thoughts and recollections were of another day, and her heart was in another land. Her sister rallied her but she minded it not. She was hound in a spell loo sweet to wish it broken. Thought was every thing to her now a whole world and it was peopled with one being.
