Mr. D.idley was one evening taking tea with that eminent artist. Mr. Only, when he asked him whether he had seen his gallery of busts. Mr. D. answering in the negative, and expressing a wish to be gratified with a sight of it, Mr. Culy conducted him thither, :?nd after admiring ihe busts of the several great men of thedav .he ... i.: i. . i . 1 1 . .o ..km r,i..e..nmx auracieo . ;s ; ii'ikc, ti!(i tin inquiry loonu u was inej likeness of the Rev.

"This i bust,1 said Mr. C, "struck Lord Shclbourne in the same manner it does yon, and i here is a icmarkahie fact connected with it, w hich, as I kn w yon are I m I of anecdote, I. will relate to vou precisely in the same manner and words that I did to him.' On returning to the parlor, Mr C. commenced accordingly: "I am a very old man; yon must excuse my liulc failings; and, as I before observed, hear it in the very words I repeated it to his birdship. 'My loii'.1 said I, 'perhaps you have heard of John Wesley, the founder of the Methodists.1 'O yes,1 lie replied; 'ZV fWi n7cc of fanatics P 'Well, my lord; Mr. Wesley had often been urged to have his picture taken, but he always refused alledging as a reason that he thought it nothing but vanity; indeed, so frequently bad be point that his friend: been pressed on this were reluctantly com pelled to give up ihe idea. One day he called on me on the business of the church. I began the old subject of entreating him to alli.w mo to take olfhis likeness.

I never till now earned money so speedily but what shall we do with it?' They then v ished me a good morning, and proceeded over Westminster Bridge. The first object that presented itself to their view was a poor woman crying bitterly. vWh throe children hanging round her, ach sobb'ng, though apparently too young -r Wet mid their mother's grief.

On being questioned, he informed them that he had been in that situation, supported by lite casual alms of compassionate strangers, for fcvcral months, without any hope v release, and that ho was confined for the debt of half a guinea.

No sooner did he become aeqna'n-'ca' w'tj1 his misfortune than he called all his Crcd'itors together, and laid before them the state of bis aft'iirs, shrswed them his books, wb.ich were in the most perfect order. They ail willingly signed the dividend ex- ; ccpt the lawyer, who owed his rape in j live world to this merchant; the sum was f r which he obstinately declared he should be sent to jail. It was in vain the creditors urged him to pity his forlorn condition, and to consider his groat respectability that feeling wa a stranger to his breast, and in spite of all their re in fo nonstranccs he was hurried away to prison. ollowcd hy his weeping wile. .As she j i was very accomplished, she continued to j ,min,;liu herself and her husband for some time solely bv the use of her pencil in j painting small ornaments en cards. And tins they managed to put a littie aside for ihe time of her confinement. But so long ;n Hint succeeded this event that she was completely incapacitated from exert- j ing herself for their subsistence, r.iul their j scanty savings were soon expended by j nrocuViniT thenccessarics which her situa-' lion then required. Thev were driven to pawn their clothes, and their resources failing, they found themselves at last reduced to absolute starvation. The poor infant had iust expired from want, and ihe hapless "mother was about to follow it i to the grave, when Mr. tiiiu. lieu mi. I'CMi'v iiiu ma friend entered; and, as I before said, the husband was so reduced from the same cause, that without the utmost care, he must have fallen a sacrifice; and as Mr. W csley, who w as not for doing things by halves, had acquainted himself with this case of extreme misery, he went to the creditors ?,nd informed them of it. They were beyond measure astonished to learn what he bad to name to them; for so long a time had elapsed without hearing any ihin-r of the men bant or his family, some supposed him ' he dead, and others that j he had quitted the country. Among the rest, he called on "to lawyer, and painted t lum. in iho most glowing colors, the w retchedness he had w itnessed, and which he (the lawyer) had been instrumental in causing; but even this could not move him to compassion. He declared the merchant should not leave the prison wiihout paying him every farthing! Mr. Wesley repeated his visit to the other creditors, who, considering the case of the sufferer, agreed to raise a sum an-' rpVaso lorn. Some gave 100. others 200 and another '100. The affairs of the merchant took n different turn: God seemed to prosper him, and in the second vear he 'ailed his creditors together, tlnnked them for thrir kindness, and paid the sum so generously obtained. Success continuing to attend him, he was enabled to pav nil his debts, and afterwards realized considerable properly. His afili-tinnc ma-le such n deep impression upon his mind, that he determined to remove the possibility ofi others suffering from the same cause, and j for this purpose advanced a considerable j sum as a foundation fund for the relief ofi small debtors.

We referred the other day to a beautiful engraving of Washington and his steed, published bv the Franklin IVint company. The spirited, noble animal that occupies so prominent a place in the picture, is, of course, admired and complimented by every one, bnt the impression seems to have obtained that it was merely a fanciful effort of the artist j and not a likeness of the veritable charger tnat Washington rode while in the command of the armv.

This excited his curiosity; he posted off to Boston found the owner; at Washington's icqucstthe animal was caparisoned; he mounted him himself, took a turn round the streets; was delighted with the steed, and on returning to the stable, told the j owner he must have him, and to name his price. By this time several persons had coilecit at the stable, and it seems that the proposed purchaser was not knovn to one of the group. The inquiry was started "who is he?"' Immediately the circle was enlarged by a gentleman who before stood aloof, who was seen to whisper to the owner. The latter then stepped tVwaT" 'nc General, and addressed him, said.

Industry is often underrated bv the world; we mean when viewed as a cause, for in its effects it is by no means to be despised. Here we are taught to consider it in a far different light than as a mere drudge a commentary upon the more pi end id productions of genius. In the commencement of his career, the humble rtificcr of his ow n intellectual greatness has certainly fearful odds to contend with in his more gifted competitors. lie rcc vihics an artist wnose 1001s are an 10 nc fashioned by himself. His first efforts arc consequently slow, rude and imperfect. But ihev pave his way and prepare his hand for higher exertion and more finished production. The world may deride his feeble progress: there is nothing in it surprising nothing uncommon. Its steps arc obvious and apparently easy; it has no mysterious jumping as wonderful conclusions no erratic devialions or cc-1 centric flights; hut 11 ins marcn is not rapid, it is steady. 111s powers gather force and vigor as he proceeds; until at length he who smiled at seeing the tinpractised strength of the young Milo, tasked in raising the punv calf, may behold him with astonishment, bearing the ox up-j on his shoulders. At this stage of its progress, industry may well challenge a comparison with its less laborious rival. Were the 'ranee nl wavs to the swift and the battle to the strong' were the rewards of wisdom and art to be borne away tout a couit and the hill of science to be carried at a single assault, genius for every purpose were immeasurably superior. But when we consider that life is not comprised in a single effort, and that it consists in a long series of exertions and enterprises, all of which must he prosecuted w ith prcsevcrance in order to their fortunate completion, dilhgence wnl aopear, like action in ora tory, the fir-!, i ccond and third requisite to success. not he that wields the heaviest -.. ho delves the deepest hut he w ho f ' w - roke upon stroke with the most o; trv ;n i; ;.!r.i- succession.

Correcting a child on suspicion cr without understanding the whole matter, is the way to make him hide his faults by equivocation or a lie to justifiy himself; or to disregard you altogether, because he s-ees that you do not understand the case and are in the wrong. 11. When a child wants that which it should not have, or is unwilling to do ns the parent says, and begins to fret, a decided word spoken in kindness but with authority, hushes and quiets the child at once, but a half yielding and unyielding method only frets and teases the child, and if denied or mad? to obey, ends in a cry. 12. It is seldom well to let the child "cry it out,1' as the saying is. If put into a corner or tied to your chair, it should not be allowed to cry or make a noise. Indeed crying from anger or disappointment should never be allowed. A child soon discovers that its noise is not pleasant, and learns to take revenge in this way. If allowed to 'vent their feelings' when children, they will take the liberty to do so w hen men and women. 13. Never allow a child to cry or scream on cverv slight occasion, even if hurt, and much less when by so doing it gratifies a revengeful or angry spirit.

AN AMERICAN REBECCA. The noble courage displayed bv Scott's tcbecoa, in his novel of lvanhoe, when be stood upon the tower from which rho leclarcd she would precipitate herself if followed by the villain who desired to rob her ol her honor, has been more than haded bv the sacrifice of a young girl, near Hartford, Connecticut. The facts are given us by a gentlemen, md arc as follows: The son ot respective paper maker, one day, a tew weeks ago, hnding the young girl auuuju to, ai the dinner hour in the upper room ot the aper mill, entered and locking the door, eized the girl, and endeavored to accomilish his Tarquinian purpose, w hen the girl sprung from his grasp, and approached ihe edge ot the scuttle which opened into two chambers beneath, a distance of thirty feet. The cowardly miscreant was about advancing to secure the heroine again, when she exclaimed "Dare, sir, to ad vance one step toward me and my death be on vour head I free myself bv jump ing down these falls. The villain approached but a step the girl dashed herself forward, falling through the two stories and breaking her ribs in the most horrible manner. SucJi devotion should be immortalizedsuch an instance of self-sacrifice should be hailed with the highest admiration. It is perhaps need less to add that the young man paid deany for his attempt, to the amount of $3,000. A GOOD JOKE. During the late electioneering visil of Mr. Webster to Connecticut, he was invitea ny thcgiod lights and blue to visit the city of Hartford, tor effect upon the pending election. Large placards were accordingly posted up in different parts of the city, annoiinomu- that on such a day the "Ureal defender of the Constitution" would arrive in the c.itv. As the precise time of arrival could nol be ascertained, in consequence of the badness of the roads and the inclem ency o: the weather, it was th ught advisable to announce his arrival by the ringing of the court house bell, when the peop'e were to assemble to do him honor. In the eveniipr, just before the approach of tin: "God-like," the bell commenced ringing, while some wag of a fellow, of portly di mensions, rode bare backed through the principal streets, where the people had as semblcd in great numbers along the pavements, bowing and scraping, giving utter ance to their defending cheers, ho bowing in turn as he passed along. The "God-like" arrived in silence some time after attended only by one or two of his political friends Stark Ohio) Democrat. ANECDOTE.

New York, and demanded his funds in specie. It cannot be had, was the prompt reply. "It must be had,' was the laconic response of Mr. Randolph. The bank was incorrigible till the succeeding day, when the columns of the New York CoI ;mbiin announced by advertisement, that i fte-noon at 2 o'clock, the Honorable John Randolph of Roanoke, would address the people on the subject of Banks, and the frauds they committed, from the steps of the Bank of America! It is scarcely necessary to say, that before the hour arrived, every farthing demanded by Mr. Randolph was paid over in specie. The Great American Desert. The vast barren, and trackless region, stretching for hundreds of miles along the foot of the Rocky Mountains, and drained by the tributary streams of the Missouri, is thus described in Irving's Astoria. "This region which resmbles one of the immeasurable steppes of Asia, has not inaptly been termed 'the great American Desert.) It spreads forth into undulating and treeless plains, and desolate sandy wastes, wearisome to the eye from their extent and m motory, and which are supposed by geologists to have formed the ancient floor of the ocean, countless ages since, whence its primeval waves washed igainst the granite coasts of the Rocky Mountains. It is a land where no man permanently abides; for in certain seasons of the vear there is no food either for thp hunter or his steed. The herbage ia parched and withered, the brooks and streams are dried up; the buffallo, the elk and the deer have wandered to distant parts, keeping within the verge of expiring vcrdue, and leaving behind them a vast uninhabited solitude, seemed by ravines, the beds ot former torrents, but serving only to tantalize and increase the thirst of the traveller. Occasionally the monotony of this vast wilderness is interrupted by mountainous belts of sand, and limestone broken in conlused masses, with precipitous cliffs and yawning ravines looking like the ruins of a world, or is traversed by lofty hills and ridges ot rock, almost impassable, hke these denominated the Berk Hills. Beyond these rise the stern prairies of the Rocky Mountains, the limits, as it were, of the Atlantic world. The rugged defiles and valiies of this vast chain form sheltering pla ccs for restless and ferocious bands of savages, many of them the remnants of the tribes once inhabitants of the prairies, but broken up by war and violence, and who c.uiy into their mountain haunts thff fierce passions and reckless habits of doSerades. HOME. What magic forms a halo around this world! The toil-worn mariner, the dustcovered traveler, the long separated friend, tho timc-wcaned pedestrian hails it as the sweet haven of his rest. How joyous have been our sensations when from a distance we have beheld the ancient "home of our childhood;" 'id from amid the trees which surrounded the cottage of your youth, seen once more curling the smoke which warms the (hum stic friends. There may be no country on earth, unless We except Switzerland, whose inhabitants, cherish the loved thoughts of home like those of New KiiEland; there is a charm hangs round our rugged and cloud cap'd hills, and verdant rivulet-watered vales, which time cannot break, absence nor age destroy.
