The Estate or a Benedict. — Some suppose that tho estate r.f a Benedict forbiddeth the rcsi* dent therein to disport himself as aforetime*, in the flowery fields of fancy, and Id rove at random through lUo remembered groves of the academy, nr the itch gardens of imaginative delight. Verity, this is not so. To the right-minded man, all these enjoyments are increased; the lies that bind him to earth are strengthened and multiplied; he anticipates netr affections and pleasures, which your cold individual, careering tonft through a va'e of tears, with no one to share with him his gouts of optical salt water, wots not of. As a beloved friend once said to me: “When a man weds, as when lie dies, angels lead his spirit into a quiet land, full of holiness and peace—full of all pleasant sights, and “beautiful exceedingly!” One’s dreams may not all be realized, for dreams ncverarc—hut the reality will differ front, and be a'thousand fold sweeter than any dreams—those shadowy and impalpable entities,' that flit over the twilight of the eoul, after the son of judgment has set. 1 never heard of a friend having accomplished hyineitization, without sanding alter him a world of good wishes and honest prayers. Am:d the ambition, the selfishness, the heartless jostling with the world, which every son oft Adam Is obliged more or less to encounter, it is ho common blessing to retire therefrom into'the'calm recesses ot domestic existence, and to feel around your temples the airs that ere wafted from fragrant wings of the spirit of Peace, soft as the breath that curled the crystal light “Of Zion’s fountains, When love, and hope, and joy were hers, , And beautiful upon her mountains. The feet of angel messengers.” -■ No common boon Is it—we speak in the rich sentence of a German writer—to enjoy “a look into a pure loving eye; a.word .without falseness from a bride without guile; and close beside you, in the still watches uf the night,** soft-breath-mg breast, in which there is potbiifg but paradise, a sermon, a midnight prayer!” ’

Oh, woman! truth and passion rear the throno Where thou dost sit triumphant and alone; Bright shapes offijful fancies throw Prismatic colors o’er thy beauty's glow— Before a thousand shrines thy feelings burn, As vestals wave their taper’s o'er the urn; A seeming fickle nature oft imbues The color of thy mind with rainbow hues— Yet when awakened to some daring deed. When griefs and trials come and nations bleed, When fields of blond re-echo shrieking cries, And hope's lone star hath left the shrouded skies .'Tie then thy mighty heart ehalt fully prove, "Tiro strength of all thy constancy and love! ; Who longest lingers at the bed of death, With kisses winning back the Heeling breath! Who longest at the chill lone tomb shall stay, Pale sentinel o’er cool and paler clay! "List at the cross and earliest at the grave," Ah, woman! ’tis thy chosen hour to save, When man hood's haughty crest is fallen low Bfratterd and broken by the stunning blow.

MISCELLANY.

from Burlin't Genlltvtan't A/agaaihe. Cutting Oat a Letter of Jlnrquc.

Of all services of danger which a naval officer has to perform during a lime of war, and ihenare many, the task of cutting out an armed vessel from under tne guns of an enemy’s fort, and bringing bor out of the harbor in safety, iaconsidered the most desperate. Coolness and courage must travel hand in hand there; and the successful commander of such an expedition, under the roost favorable circumstances, must consider himself well off if he earns his laurels at the cost of blood.

“In the course of the night, while running down fur her port under easy sail, a shot suddenly flew over the Sally, and soon after an English frigate ringed up alongside. Mr. Hullliote to, and when the boarding lieutenant gained the sloop's deck, where he found so large a party of men and officers in naval uniforms, he was much surprised. He was mid the object of the expedition, however, and expressed his disappointment, as his own ship was only waiting to let the Sandwich complete her cargo, in order to her out also,”

An elderly young lady in Boston has sued a school master in that city for breach of promise. She inferred the contract from the fact that he had taken tea at her house twieg a week for ten years.

The sun was slowly descending behind the blue peaks ofSan Domingo, when an American frigate came in sight of the Tillage of Port Plane, situated at the head of a email harbor on the south aide of the island, and foiling her courses, hove loo, for the purpose of recon nattering. After ■canning narrowly the little anchorage, the frigate put about, and, setting her courses, was soon lost amid the shades of night. The inhabitants of the village had felt great alarm at the near approach of the armed ship, and had reinforced. their fort, beside sending a number of eoldien on board the letter of marque, Sandwich, formerly a British packet, but now in the service of the French, which lay close under the guns of the fort;, where sho waa receiving a cargo of coffee, previous to her making a run for France. li was in the year 1909, just after the action between the Constellation and La Vengeance, and the name of the conqueror, Truxton, passed from lip to lip with instinctive consternation, flight came on; the moon had not appeared, and scudding clouds obscured the stars. The reveille bad. been beaten at the garrison, and the inhabitants of Fort Platte had retired to dream of the daringcruizera ol the American squadron. The frigate, when she had lost eight of the island, came about, and under easy sail, stood in for the shore. She was the Constitution, Commodore Talbot, and from the silonco that reigned throughout the ship, and the total abscence of light from the battle lanterns, the most careless observer would have supposed that she was about to do something foMhe glory of the old thirteen.

It was about noon of the following day when the sloop stood in to the harbor of Port Platte. Before her lay the Sandwich, with her broadside bearing on the approach; and .in the rear of her, at no great distance, a battery showed its long row ol black teeth for her protection. Lieutenant Hull had sent nearly all the men bi-tow, before he entered the harbor, and now, having astern anchor ready, lie bore down; like a short-handed lubberly sloop, for the bows of the Sandwich. As ho drew nigh tiro ship, he said, in a tow voice, “Stand by to board,” and soon a large number of men crouched under the bulwarks, ready for action. “You will b« afoul of me,” said the lieutenant of the Sandwit h, who was leaning carelessly over the bulwark as the sloop came down. “I think 1 shall,” was the laconic reply. In a moment, the sloop struck the bows of the enemy. “Let go the hedge! (hundred the lieutenant—it was done likcmagic. “Boarders away!” cried he; and seizing his cutlass he crosscc the gangway of the Sandwich, at the head of his men, and carried tier without a struggle. Captain Carmick, in the ship's boats, now loaded, carried the battery, spiked the guns, and retired without the loss ofa man.

A great ■commotion was now perceptible on shore; but the commander and his crew went swillly to work tosecuretheir prize,and though she was dismantled above her deck, and her guns stowed in the hold, before sunset she had her royal yards crossed, hei guns seated, ami her ciew quartered. She now got under way, with the American flag &l the ensign peak, ami stood . out of the harbor in ccompany with the sloop. I Evening was slowly fading into night, as a ship, toHowed at aomo distance by a sloop, bore down for the Constitution.

As she drew nigh the port, two officers might have been seen at the gangway, watching narrowly the lights that twinkled ahead. At this moment, the heavy roar of a cannon came echoing along the waters, and then one after another, the lights disappeared, until none were seen hut those which seemed to be designed to burn throughout the night. "Now is your time,” Said the elder of the persona to the younger; “have the second cutter manned, sir, and’eome m me for further orders,” Thus saying, the commodore, for it was he, looked at the and entered the cabin. In a few minutes, a knock at (be cabin door, announced the arrival of some officer to make a report. “Enter,” said the bluff old commodore, and Immediately Lieutenant Hull, the first of the Cbostitntiou, stood before him.
