'"xuKiuaNO sToar of shipwreck. iif. John Fowler, a cabin passenger on board the Eastern City, furnishes a graphic account of the bttrniua of that vessel on the passe from Liverpool to Melbourne, South Australia. The Eastern City was a ship of 1368 tons burden, and the property of Messrs. Barnes & Co., of Liverpool. She was commanded by Captain Johnston, and had a crew of 47 men, including officers. ' She left Liverpool on the 10th of July, with 180 passengers and 1 COO tons of general c&rTo. '' ' ' 1 According to Mr. Fowler's narative the Eastern City reached the equator on the 11th of August, after a lono- continuance of contrary and baffling winds, and thepassengerfl were in expectation of reaching Australia in 70 or 75 days. On the 21st "of August the wind blew strong from the northwest, and on the following day it increased to half a gale, with a heavy sea, the ship rolling a great deal, and frequently going from twelve to fourteen knots an hour. ' ,: FIRE AT SEA. i Ou the 23d the wind veered round to the sothwest, but the sea continued high, and at 2 p. M. an alarm of fire was raised, and smoke was seen issuing from the fore hatch. The passengers and crew were all ordered on deck, and it was believed that all had obeyed the order, but it was nflerwad discovered that one of the steerago passengers, named M'Lean, was missing, and ho is supposed to have been suffocated in his berth. Hopes were entertained at first of extinguishing the fire, as it did not seem to increase; but after half an hour it was found that no progress was made, notwithstanding the vast quantities of water that had been pumped into the hold. ' It was now apparent that the only chance was to endeavor to smother the fire. Accordingly, blankets, shawls, plaids, and old sails were used ibr that purpose, but all in vain. The women and chilren, about 60 in number, were removed to the poop. The captain hauled up the courses and put the ship before the wind, had the boats provisioned, and every thin" in readiness to lower away at a moments notice. Both passengers and crew worked all ni;fit in their endeavors to subdue the flames, the captain cheering them all the while, and never leaving the deck for a moment.- His courage is described as admirable, and he never ceased to comfort the woman and children by assurances that they would be all safo in the boats. "gloomy probpkct. To add to their danger they were more than GOO miles from the nearest land, the boats could carry no more than one-half of the persons in the ship, and the sea ran so high that no boat could be launched in safety, nor live long, crowded as they must necessarily have been. Their only chance was Of being picked up; but this was a forlorn hope, as they were out of the track of vessels; and those who realized the full extent ot their danger felt that their destruction was simply a question of hours. Still they worked with a will, adopting every means to smother the tire. The morning of the 24th broke at length, but the sea still fan high, and the ship scudded before the wind. . About noon the fore-yard came down by the run, but without iujurying any one. There was evidently very little hope, and many of thse on board became quite resigned to their terrible fate. , The decks became very hot, and the flames were expected every moment to be seen issuing from the bows, and they were in dread of the fore-mast giving way, which must liave precipitated their fate, as its fiill must have torn up part of the deck, through wliieh the flames would burst. At this stage the captain, purser, and Mr. Fowler threw bottles "overboard, containing details of the sad catastrophe. Their rescue from impending death is thus described by Mr. Fowler: ' ,'3 : f " i - THE RESCUE. ' r-u ' " The captain, chief officer, purser, doctor, Mr "Warner, the other chief cabin passenger, and myself, went into the saloon at 2 o'clock P. M. to eat something, for we were all becoming faint, .-We were eating what we believed to be our last meal, but we were all calm, and even cheerful, Captain Johnston asked to be excused for the manner in which he was breaking up the preserved salmou, which, with a few biscuits, was to form our dinner; and I for appearing at dinner in such a guise, being literally covered, hands and face, with tar.. At about 2.30 o'clock p. m., and when -about to say 'Good-by,' in case of not meeting again before the final catastrophe, we were startled with the cry of 'A sail!' I do not know how we all tumbled on deck, but wo were there in an instant. How I looked to windward, and how faint and ill I felt when I at first failed to perceive anything but the ocean and a few black clouds just at the edge of the horizon; how we all at last saw the sail, just like a distant gull she was coming down upon us close by the edge of the son's rays : on the sea; how we all cheered and wept, and prayed, and laughed, and clasped each other's hands, and cheered again; how great rough fellows hugged each other and wept like children; how men, who had probably never prayed before, muttered sincere thanksgivings; and how those who had preserved the greatest indifference when death seemed so neart were now completely overcome, I cannot describe. I shook bands with at least one hundred, many of them rough, illiterate men, but who had worked with a high courage in the hour of danger, and who were now as sincere in their feelings of thankfulness as the best of

us. In less than half an hour' from the time wc first sighted her, the vessel, which proved to be the Merchantman, of and from London, with troops for Calcutta, passed close under our stern. How we cheered her, and she returned our cheer as only British soldiers and sailors can cheer. Our captain hailed through his trumpet, 'We are on fire; will you stand by usV" to which Captain Browm returned a hearty,: 'Ay, ayi and send my boats to assist you.'., ,. , . , ALL SAFE. ' " Soon two of the Merchantman's boats and three of our own were launched;' but the sea was still high; j and wc expected every moment to see some of them swamped or dashed in pieces alongside; but thanks to the ability and care of Mr Punnell and Mr. Jones, the first and second officers of- the Merchantman? and of our own officers in charge of the boats, they were conducted between the two vessels without a single accident. We first embarked the women and children,' and by 8 p. m. we were all safely on board the Merchantman, our captain being the last to leave. , . " On arriving on board the Merchantman, every thing had been provided by Captain Blown for the relief of the rescued passengers, in which he was assisted by Captain Dawson, commanding the troops. They bad prepared hot tea and biscuits for 400. Thewomen and children were accommodated in the cuddy and officers' rooms, and the crew and passengers mustered and told oil' to moss with the soldiers and sailors without the slghtest confusion. The Merchantman stood by the burning ship during the night, and at about A. M. the flames burst forth over the topgallant forecastle. Soon after the foremast went over the side, and in half an hour the main and mizzen masts -went, and soon after she was a mas of flames. We could see her still burning until about 5 o'clock A. m., wden the Merchantman having stood for Table Bay, the distance became too great for us to distinguish otlier than a dark cloud resting against the dim horizon, which was the last we saw of our ship. We. in the first cabin saved a portion of luggage, but the whole of the other passengers and the majority of tha crew lost every thing. But we were all truly thankful for our preservation from a terrible and inevitable death, and we feel that the finger of Providence was in it; for had the Merchantman not been obliged to . put into Rio de Janeiro, in consequence of, the illness of jher medical officer then in charge of the troops, she could not have been so far out of her course, and in a position to rescue us." An old Dutch tavern-keeper had his third wife and being asked his views of matrimony, replied: "Veil, you see, de first time I marries for love- dat was goot; den I marries for beauty dat was goot, too, about as goot as de first; but dis time I marries for money and -dis is better as both !" It is the little troubles that wear the heart out. . It is easier to throw a bombshell a mile than a feather even with artilery. Forty little debts of a dollar each will cause you more trouble and dunning than one big one of a thousand. r,s - A Yankee is self-denying, self-relying, and into everything prying. He is' a lover of piety, notoriety, and the temperance society. He is a bragging, dragging, striving, thriving, swapping, tostling, wrestling, musical, quizzical, astronomical, philosophical, poetical, and criminal sort of a character, whose manifest destiny is to spread humbug to the remotest corners of the earth. Among the marriages in Cincinnati last week, was a Mr. Moon to a Miss Shine. In this case no one will deny that mariage is moonshine. . ,

; KICKING A YANKEE. . - . , A very handsome friend of ours, who a few weeks a"o was poked out of a comfortable office up the river, has betoken himself to Bangor for a time to recover from the wound inflicted on his feelings by our " unprincipled and immolating administration." ' Change of air must have had an instant effect upon his spirits, for, from Galena, he writes us an amusing letter, which, among otlier things, tells of a desperate quarel that took place on board of the boat, between a real live tourist and a real live Yankee settler. The latter trod on the toes of the former, whereupon the former threatened to " kick out of the cabin" the latter. You'll kick me out of this cabing ?" " Yes, sir, I'll kick you out of this cabin!" ' '; "You'll kick me, Mr.. Hitchcock, .out of this cabing?" ,,' Yes, sir, I will kick you, Mr. nitchcock! " Well, I guess," said the Yankee, very coolly, after beinT perfectly satisfied that it was himself that stood in such eminent danger of assault," I guess, since you talk of kicking, you've never heard me tell about old Bradley and my mare to hum ?" - ' M "Vr aii. nnr do T wish "

" Wall, guess it won't set you back much, any how, ' v;,.v;r.' m-nemllv best to be considered on. You see old Bradley is one of those sanctimonious, longfaced hypocrites who put on a religious tun cyc.j, ei.itl, ,1:,v mnrnliw. and with a cood deal of screw ing, manao to keep it on till after sermon in the afternoon; and as I was a Universalis!,, he allers picked me out as a subject for religious conversation and n, norl nvrwvriro would talk about heaven, hell and the devil the Crucifixion and prayer, without ever winking. Wall, he had an old roan mare that would jump over any fourteen rail fece in Illinois, and open any door in my barn that handn't a padlock on it Tu or three times I found her in my stable, and I told Bradley about it, and he was 'very sorry an unruly animal would watch her and a hull lot of such things; all said in a serious manner, with a face twice as long as old deacon Farrar's on sacrament day. -.. 1 tn..w ll tlie time, he was lvinsr.and so I watched him and his old roan tu; and for three nights regular, old roan came to my stable about bed time, ana just at rlnvKMit. Bradlev would come, bridle her and ride off. I then just took my old mare down to the blacksmith's shop, and had some shoes made with corks about four inches long, and had 'em nailed on her hind feet Your heels, mister, ain't nuthin' to 'em. I took her hum give her about ten feet halter, tied her right in the center of the stable, fed her well with oats at nine o'clock, and after taking a good smoke, went to bed, knowing that my old mare was a truth-telling animal, and that she'd give a good report of herself in the morning. - I hadn't got farely asleep before the old woman hunched me, and wanted to know what on airth was the matter at the stable. So says l, go to steep, j: egg y, it's nothing but Kate she's kicking ott Hies, I guess. Purty soon she hunched me again, and says she, 'Mr. Hitchcock, du get np and see what in the world i9 the matter of Kate, for she is kicking most powerfully.' ' Lay still, Peggy, Kate will take care of herself, I guess.' r . - ' ' " 1 Well, the next morning, about daylight, Bradley, with hridl in hand, cum to the stable, and true as the book of Genesis, when he saw the old roan's sides, atom and head, he cursed and swore worse than you didmister, when I came down on your toes. After breakfast that morning, Joe Davis cum down to my house, and says he - ' ' '" " , : ' Bradley's old roan is nearly dead she's cut all to nieces, and can scarcely move.' ...'-. - ' T want, to know.' savs I. 'how on airth did it hannen !' "Now Joe was a member of the" same church witti Bradley, and whilst we" were talking, up cum tho everlastin' hypocrite, and says he, ' My old roan is ruined!' " T)n rp.HP savs I.: ' She is cut all to Dieces,' savs he: 'do you know whether she was in your stable, Mr. Hitchcock, last night?' .. . ,--v "' """ ' ' -i '! Wall, mister, with this I let out: 'Do I inow it V --fthe Yankee here, in illustration, made a sudden advance upon the dandy, who made way for him, unconsciously, as it were.) Do I know it, you no-souled, shad-bellied, squash headed old night owl, you! you 1 l.l,:.. ,wnn:i,KlM ' flrtar. iulnrin pfiTlfc-sliavP.n.' wlurlm'-rtf-nnthin'. vou! Kate kicks like a dumb beast but I have reduced the thine to a science!'.'' Tho 'Yankee had not ceased to advance, nor the dandy,' in his astonishment, to retreat; and now the motion of the latter beins accelerated by the apparent demonstration on the part of the former to suit the action to the word, he iound mmselt jn tne social hall,' tumbling backwards over a pile of baggage, tearing the knees of his pants as he scrambled up, and a nerfeet scream of laughter stunning him. from all sides.". The defeat, was total A few moments after ward he was seen dragging his own trunk ashore, while Mr. Hitchcock finished his story on the boiler deck. St. Louis Reveille. ; . -in -! ' Advice to Ladies. Have the feet well protected, then 'pay the next attention to the chest. The chest is the renositorv of the vital organs. There abide the heart and lungs. It is tromtlie impression maue upon these organs, through the skin, that the shiver comes. It is nature's quake the alarm bell at the onset of the danger. A woman never shivers from the effect of coldupon her limbs, or hands, or head ; but let the cold strike through her clothing on her chest, and off goes her teeth into a chatter, and the whole organisnj is in a commotion. . One sudden and severe impression of cold upon the chest has slain its ten of thousands. Therefore, while the feet are well looked after, never forget the chest. These points attended to, the natural connection of the dress will supply the rest, and the woman is ready for the air. .'Now let her visit her neighbors, go shopping, call upon the poor, and walk for the good of it, or the fun of it. J . Keep away from the stove or register. Air that is dry or burnt, more or less charged with gases evolved by the fuel, is poison. Go up stairs and make the beds with mittens on. Fly around the house like mad, and ventilate the rooms. Don't sit pent up in a single room with double windows. Fruit will not retain its full form and flavor in air-tight cans ; neither will woman. They need air. If the shiver comes on during these operations, go directly and put on something more aljout the chest. Asrain. do not live in dark rooms. Light fades the carpet, but it feeds the flower. No living animal or veiretable can eniov health in darkness. Light is also neccssarv .as air. and a brown tan is far preferable, even aa a matter of beauty, to a sickly paleness of com-plexion.--tctectea. .-.-: BEING IN LOVE. The epoch of being in love, notwithstanding all, is the most agreeable in the whole course, of life. The soul has then no craving to gratify existence, it is at its highest premium, for it is then we arc furthest from indifference. He who is in love cherishes life, and but enjoys it the better for little draw-backs in other affairs, which only highten love's relish when we return to it It is a better and pleasanter thing than money-wetting, or courtiership, or sullen study, or maddening ambition, or a thousand gasping desires that engross us wholly without our feeling satisfaction in their pursuit.; These are solitary objects ; being in love is participated with another, and therefore it is a more social pleasure.. .The romantic tinge which often colore our conduct, is W agreeable characteristic ; it increases the attraction, and confers a hallowed charm upon the passion. Being in love is a restraint upon evil feelings a situation favorable to virtue. The love of woman is a corrective of our perverse nature and while its season lasts, always mends the heart. Let an unbiased and discriminating octogenarian answer what part of life he could look back upon with the most kindly feelings what portion of his departed years he most cherished in his remembrance, and he ..... ., . 1 would doubtless answer, tne time wnen ne was in love. The memory of that delicious season, its little adven. tures, its hopes, its fears and enjoyments always come over us with a rush of pleasing warmth, a sunbeam piercing the clouds of departed time, and irradiating for a moment our tottering steps and gray hair. Being in love mingles us with the better things of life, ke"ps beautiful forms perpetually before the eye, gives us pleasing dreams, elevates the spirits, and exalts our views. It tempers our harsher, dispositions with gentleness of beauty, and subdues our proudest pretensions to the government of tears and caresses of mildness and persuasion. . He who has never been in love is a miserable blockhead, who is ignorant of the highi est joy this distempered life possesses for mortals. Being love is, in fact, a sort of millennium far above life's i other good.
