I was journeying among some of the rugged and romantic scenery ot Italy, when my guide suddenly stopped, and bv his amazed looks plainly indicated ti e pieseneeof danger. It was mid-day, and we were impatient to reach our destination t ie nightfall. I had scarcely asked the postillions what had occasioned the stoppage, when a bullet whizzed past us, and in the direction whence it cmne, I saw a half dozen or more fierce looking fellows, with presented rides, taking aim at us. Perceiving death to be so near, and desi runs of averting it, 1 signified to the bri gands my perfect readiness to give up all

that I possest-cd, and only required the

preservation of our lives. My wonls h:nl the elicits of arresting the brigands' purpose, and they came down from their position : informing us, however, that we

must accompany theni to their coinniander, w ho had solemnly sworn to kill every englishman tliat fell into his power; inoriie r to revenue the death of his 1 U'OtiiCf, win) ; Kiel leu in an action m it h n narlv o! Knu-Iislitneii some days before. This was not pleasant Inte'lioetiee; my life seemed only spared for a moment, for the brigands assured that their chief was i:nn!aea!de. mil my pi.i-.ie had preiotts!v entertained me mi some narratives ot the lerocitv of Mieliael llarossini, the recollection of which seemed to corroborate the testimony of the robbers. . 1 afterwards learned that this great ehief had ordered his men to bring every .Knglishmaii they found on the road before him, that he might. have the luxury of putting them to death himself. mil that two days before he had sacrificed a lellow-eotintrv man ot nunc to his reventre. I was bliudfeideil and conducted through glades ami ravines for some considerable time, and when the handkerchief was taken from my eyes, I found myself in the presence of the dreaded brigand, Michael l)arossini. He was a man of Ilereulian proportions, with larrje dark eyes, and matted locks, thicklv 1 ailing over his sun burnt cheeks, lie eyed nie with savage ferocity, but there was something noble in his appearance which led me to expect my appeal to his mercy would not be ineffectual. But the death of his brother vras too voting iu his memorv, and at 1 tnv words were of no avail. "T Englishman's blood must be shed," lie erica "to satisiv mv murdercil brother. Entreaties were of no avail; he was firm and resolute, and having given me a few moments lor preparation, he turned awav to fondle his child, a boy of his about three years old, who came running towardshim. 1 thought it strange that after deciding up on such an atrocious act, and with expectation of slaughtering a fellow-creature in his mind, he should caress his child, and display so much human emotion. At length, putting the little boy from him, he turned savagely towards me, and ordered his men to conduct me to the place of execution. This was the brink of a precipice which it was fearful to look down from. "(J radons Heavens.'" 1 cried, "you are not going to dash mo down this precipice?" "ot alive," growled one of the banditti: "you will fall down when the captain has niched you, and spare us the trouble." The few moments that ensued were solemn ami awful. I stood upon the brink of eternity. The savage herculean brigand was preparing his rifle lor the death shot, and the brigands were gathering around him anxious for the horrid sight that was to ensue. At length everything was ready; Machael Barossini took up his position, and ordered his men to stand away from him; the rille was uplifted, and the savage ryes of the brigand were taking aim at my heart; at that moment, the bri gand's child, who had no knowledge of the dreadful proceedings that were going on, came dancing up to me. A thought struck me that this child might be made the instrument of my preservation. I darted forward, snatched the boy m my arms, and then cried out to the brigand to lire! The rilkl fell from Barossini's hand, and he was coming towards me as if for the purpose of tearing the child from my breast. But I drew towards the precipice and holding the boy stretched over it. I demanded my life as the condition of the safety of the boy. Barossini, stung to the quick, seized his rifle, and was presenting it again, when his wife rushed upon him, held his inn and besought linn to save her child. The scene was solemn and striking. File natural feelings of the man were eomjatmg with the savage teroeitv ot the bri gand. Barossini remained with his eves fix ed upon mc :md his child, w ho still remained suspended over the precipice; and cry ing aloud lor his lather to save Imn. 1 he niether hung upon the brigand's, arm, and cuueavorou to move nun troiii ins purpose. .Nature triumphed, and he cried, "t.ivr me m v chilil and go." "And what security shall I have lor mv safety?" I inquired. 'The brigand's honor,' was Barossini's reply. Seeing that I hesitated, he continued. "You do not know me. oti have not heard of Michel Barossini, or you would have known that, brigand though he be, his word has never yet been broken. but here, stranger," lie continued, throw ing a dagger towards me, "take that and the boy with you, till mv men shall have placed you in safety." 1 lie nobleness oi ins action was in stnkin,T contrast with his previous conduct. I took the dagger, and gave my honor that the boy should be returned in safety. "I expect it," Barossini replied, "so long tit the boy is safe you are safe also." lit. looked at the boy, as n wishing to em brace him. but evidently thinking that the action might make ine suspicious, he mas tered his feelings. But the mother eouh not n-sunc such heroism. She saw tin boy in my one hand, while the other belt the brigand's dagger, and she came to wank me beseeching mc that I would permit her to kiss her child! The Iook, lite tone, the action of the

woman were till so touching; that whatever little heroism I may have possessed, forsook me, and pi acing the trembling boy in his mother's arms, I cried, "Ilarossini, 1 will not take away your child'." The brigand's feelings relaxed not; but after regarding nie for some seconds, he remarked, "You shall not lose tiny thing, Englishman, by your humanity and respect for the feelings of the mother of inv ehi'd:" and thru turninu towards his men lie gave them some directions, and as they departed, he entreated me to remain villi him a few moments. 'I am glad to see you have so much confidence in an enemy,' said he. "You have won my admiration. For your sake I make peace w ith till your countrymen." The brigands now returned, and lLuossini informed mc that ihey were ready to conduct me to

me roaii, ami mat uiey Simula attend me so tar as there might he the least danger of falling in with the brigands of his party. 1 thanked him; and asked one favor, that he would return taunc miniatures which were among the pmpcrtv the brigands hail captured.. "They will return them to you," was I'.trrossini's reply. "Farewell." I kissed the little urchin that had been the instrument of my preservation, anil departed. Oil my arrival in the road. I found theehiase exactly on the spot where it hail been stopped, with the guide and postillions in waiting. But tat surprised me most of all, was to lind that not an article ol my property was missing. The brigands had icstored the whole. m. JVorn the Vat:bci;or' Herald. AIM AFFECTIKG INCIDSNT. A discourse was delivered on AVedneslay evening, in the Pleasant St. Church, before the Society for the llelief of Aged Females, by the Kcv. ?.Ir. Stevens, of Boston, l'ravcrs were offered bv the Rev. Mr. Williams, of this town. The annu al report of the society was read, and a collection taken up ia aid of the funds of the society. The discourse of Mr. Stevens was a production, glowing with warm and ele vated feeling, chaste, and energetic iu lan guage, and fully sustained the reputation which preceded hint here. In concluding his remarks, Mr. Stevens said he would relate a part of the history of a -family iu Philadelphia, with which be was intimately acquainted. It consist ed of the parents and four children The husband was in an employment which cit ed him to maintain his family comfort ably and lav soinetiimg af a provision lor is old age. In the midst of usefulness he was seized with a consumption, and during a protracted illness, the little estate which he had acquired Was chiefly ex pended. After his death the mother tasked herself to support her little family. Night after night was she engaged m la boring with her needle for their support, the children sitting by her side endeavoring to comfort and encourage her. Her nluous exertion shortly brought on the same disease which had taken away her husband. The support of the family was thus entirely cut oil'. At this crisis, the oldest bey, then not over 7 years of age, went from tloor to door, begging tor some employment, to keep the family from star vation. 1 hose upon whom he thus call ed, were too busy to listen to the story of a child. 1 inallv, by dint ot perseverance he succeeded in obtaining a situation in the Globe Cotton Mill, m Philadelphia, receiving for services 75 cents per week. He succeeded in getting a younger broth er m the same establishment, wno w as paid 50 cents per week. Their united wages tsl 2o per week served to sus tain the sick mother and the lamiiy.Things went on this way for some tiinethe mother was hastening to the end oi her earthly career. .None interested them selves in the fate of those obscure indi viduals. Their neighbors were a vicious degraded people, as poor as themselves. For a long period roasted potatoes were their only food and the small pieces of wood which they could collect iu the streets, their only fuel. Finally, a female, who had been a bridesmaid to the mother. heard of her distress and sought her out. Her assistance and personal services were freely given but -alas! It was now too late; she could but smooth the pillow of death. The mother was laid in her grave by the side of her husband, audllie children were left orphans. The kind lady remained by, disposed of what little furniture was left, and obtained situations for the remnant of this allicted family, Their prospects began to assume a brighter hue. At their meeting at the end of every year they could say that the past year had been more prosperous than any belore it. Finally an opening was made for the elder boy in the Christian ministry, and that boy, said Mr. Stevens, is tht: individual irhi nov addri ssci ,''" AVe have rarely witnessed a more powerful effect .than the announcement of this fact produced. It was as tho' an electric shock had been sent through the whole audience. So entirely unprepared were the assembly for such a termination: so completely bad their sympathies been given to the sufferers, whom they had supposed were at that time many miles dis tant, that t ie declarations that one, who had passed thro' the scenes iu which their i"er!in-s bad been so strotir.lv enlisted.

stood before them, was unexpected and startling in the highest degree. EULOGY ON JAIVXES PTADIEON. UY JOHN Ul'i.NC Y AKA.HS. This Fulogy, which has been published by the American Stationer's Company, in neat pamphlet form, was delivered by .Air. Adams, at the request of the Mayor, Aldermen and Common Council of the city of Boston, on the 27 th Sept. lSo.

It is unquestionably a very able perform ance, and cannot tail greatly to interest the reader, of almost any age. Since giving it a perusal, we fell tho force of a remark by the editor of the U. States Gazette, that, although the pamphlet comprizes eighty-seven pages, the thought uppermost iu the mind of the reader will be, how the talented and experienced writer was able to reeou! so much information, in so small a compass. As a composition, the eulogy will take high rank; and as touching its instructive character, we may say that there will be few readers indeed who will lay it down without feeling the sum of their information increased. The following are the closing paragraphs of this admirable discourse: This constitution, my countrymen, is the great result of the Xorth American devolution. This is the giant in the improvement of the condition of the human race, consummated in a period of less than one hundred years. Of the signers of the address to George the Third in the Congress of 1771 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence in 177G of the signers of the .articles of Confederation in 1 7 S 1 , and of the signers of the federal and national Constitution of Govei'uient under w hich we live, with enjoyments never before allotted to man, not one remains in the land of the living. The last survivor of them all was he to honor whose memory we tire here assembled at once with mourning and with joy. AA'e reverse the order of sentiment and reflection of the ancient Persian king we look back on the century gone by we look around with anxious and eager eye for one of that illustrious host of Patriots and heroes under whose guidance the revolution of American Independence, was began and continued and completed. AVe look around in vain. To them this crowded theatre full of human life, in all its stages of existence, full of the glowing exultation of you'd:, of the str.acP, maturity of manhood, the sparkling eves ot beauty, and the grey heirs of reverend age all this to them is as the solitude of the sepulchre. AA'e think of this and say, how short is human life! But then, then we turn back our thoughts again, to the scene over which the following curtain has but now closed upon the drama of the day. From the saddening thought that they arc no more, Ave call for comfort upon the memory of what they were, and our hearts leap for joy, that they were our fathers. AVe see them true and faithful subjects of their sovereign, first meeting with firm but respectful remonstrance the approach of usurpation upon their rights. AVe see them, fearless in their fortitude, and confident in the righteousness of their cause, bid defiance to the arm of power, and declare themselves independent States. 'e sec them, waging for seven years a war of desolation and of glory, in most unequal contest with their own unnatural step-mother, the mistress of the seas, till under the sign manual of their king their independence was acknowledged and last and best of all, we sec them toiling in war and in peace to form and perpetuate an union, under forms of Government intricately but skilfully adjusted so as to secure to themselves and their posterity the priueelcss blessings of inseparable Liberty and law. Their days on earth arc ended, and vet their century has not passed away. Their portion of the blessings which they thus labored to secure, they have enjoyed and transmitted to us their posterity. AVe enjoy them as an inheritance won, not by our toils watered, not by our tears saddened, not by the shedding of any blood of ours. The gift of heaven through their sufferings and their achievements but not without a charge of correspondent duty, incumbent upon ourselves. And what, mv friends and fellow-eiti zens, what is that duty of our own? Is it to remonstrate to the trdder s ear ol a king beyond the Atlantic wave, and claim from him the restoration of violated rights.' No. Is it to serve the ties of kindred and of blood, with the people from whom wc sprano? To cast awav tho precious names of Britons and be no more the country men of Shakfpcare and Milton, of Aew ton and Locke of Chatham and Burke? Or more raid worse, it is to meet their countrymen in tho deadly conflict of a seven year's War? So. It is the last and the greatest duties fulfilled by them? It is to lay the foundation of the fairest Government and the mightiest nation that ever floated on the tide of time? So. These awful and solemn duties were allotted to them; and by them they were faithfully performed. AVhat then is our duty? Is "it not to preserve, to cherish. imprnv the inheritance which they have left us won bv their toils watered by their tear.r;sadili'ned but fertilized by their blood.' Are wc the sons of worthy sires, and in the onward march el time uic the

ment so much only that our posterity and theirs may blush lor the contrast between their unexampled energies and our nerve less impatience! between their more than Herculean labors and our indolent repose! So, my lellow citizens far be lroni u far be from vou, for he who now address es you has but a few short days before he shall be called to join the multitude ol ages past far be from you the reproach and suspicion of such a degrading con trast, i ou too have the solemn duty to perform, of improving the condition of your species, by improving your ow n.iot in the great and strong wind of revolution, which rent the mountains and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord lor the Lord is not in the w ind not in thti earthquake- of a revolutionary war, marching to the onset between the battle field and the scalfold for the Lord is not iu the earthquake Not in the fire of civil disscntion In war between the members and the head In nullification of the laws of the Union by the forcible resistance of one refractory State; for the Lord is not iu the lire; and that live was not kindled by your lathers! So', it is in the still small voice that succeeded the whirlwind, the earthquake, and the tire. The voice that stills the raging of the waves and the tumults of the people that spoke the words ol peace ol harmony of I nion. aiuI for that voice, may you and your chil dren s chiiurcn "to the last syllable ol recorded time," fix your eyes upon the memory and listen with your curs to the life of Jami:s Madison. From the Maine Farmer. '"What Farmers may be." Il l may be permitted to advance an opinion, 1 will say that, judging from daily observation, it would seem that many belietc the exercise of mental and physi cal pow ers have no connection in the busi ness of husbandry, that our fathers and grandfathers thought all that was necessary to think upon the subject, and that noth ing remains for us to do but work, work, work, without even thinking that we have power to think. 1 I here lore, it we would lay a "linn ba sis on which to build up their minds in wisdom and knowledge," we must first convince them that the course pursued by our lathers ami grandfathers in relation to husbandry, is by no meaus the be-d rotirsc. Convince them that in general a small farm is better than a large one. Convince them that a little tilled, is better than much half tilled. Convince them that two loads of manure is better than one, and every load judiciously apnlied is better than a silver dollor. ' Convince them that three good cows arc better than half a dozen poor ones, and so of all other stock. Convince them that raising their own bread stuff, and a little to sell, is far better than "going to New York to mill." Convince them that two blades of grass may easily be made fo grow, where only one grew before. Convince them that experiment is the mother of improvement and improvement is the true source of wealth. Convince them of these simple truths, and induce them to practice accordingly, and the word is done. Y'ou will then bring mind and body to act in unison. Y ou will elevate the hus bandman tojiis national sphere in the scale of existence. He will think lor himerf, he will be learned, he will be wealthy and influential. Horrible Accident by Powder. On Monday week, as we learn from the Portland Advertiser, the store of Otis C. Bolster, in Kumlbrd (Me.) was blown up by a cask of Powder being set -n tire. Mr. Bolster had been geUing ft stock of goods in, and among the articles was a cask of powder. His customers had bet r, trying the powder, and had left some particles upon the top of the cask. Mr. Bolster's son, 'J years old, in order to amuse himself, and in the absence of his father, took a coal of fire, and tints set the particles in a blaze. The whole cask of powder immediately ignited. Half of the store was blown into the Androscoggin, and the other half into the street, the roof tumbling down in the middle. The boy was immediately killed. One of the other young lads had his arm broken, and the third was badly burnt. J'oxton 'Fransrrlji! . 'Is ,ho Ensracd?" Is a question not uiifrequenily mooted touching interesting voimg ladies. It's a pity sotie generally received sign, bearing upon the question, could not be adopted by tho sex. It would satisfy a very natural curiosity and might not be to the disadvantage of the ladies. In a dissenting Chapel in England, a foreigner noticed the ladies' bows on their bonnets oddly arranged, some on the left and others on the right side, while others were directly in front. It was iiuud ru enquiry, that mar ried ladies had the how on the right side voni!"- maidens on the left anil those "en gaged" wore them on the front of their lioiniflsl A manifestation of this kind would save much needless solicitude and anions euq tiry among I'm-so gentlemen who are candidate for Matt iinony !

Indian I.aic Suit. The IlufTalo Com mercial Advertiser has an account of a law suit lately tried in that city between two Indians. The most singular feature in the case, savs the Advertiser, "was the employment by each of the contending parties ol an Lulhn advocate natives of the Seneca nation, anil students at law in this city to plead in due for.'n their respective causes. This was done with zeal and ability by the counsel on both sids first stating their arguinenfs in Ilnglish for the court, and then recapitulating the substance to the clients, in the Seneca tongue: citing authorities readily, and appealing 1o decisions in point, to establish their set oral cases." The same .paper spcrJ;s farther of the true aboriginal calmness, the decorum and imperturbable gravity which marked the conduct of the disputants in the trial, and recommends that an attempt should be made to improve the manners ol the bar generally, by inducing the young Indian men to study "law.
