THE LOST DARLING. BY MRS. SIGUOItNF.Y. ihe was my darling. Night and Jay to scan The fine expansion of her form and mark The unfolding mind like vernal rose-bud start To sudden beauty, was my chief delightTo find her fairy footsteps following me. Her hand upon my garments, or her lip Close scaled to mine and iu the watch cf night The quiet breath of innocence to feel Soft on my cheek, was such a full c ontcot - Of happiness, as none but mothers know. iltr voice was like some tiny harp that yields To the slight-fingered breeze, and as it held Urief converse with her dell or kindly soothed Her moaning kitten or with patient care ConnM o'er the alphabet but most of all Its tender cadence in her cv'ning prayer. Thrilled eu the ear like some ethereal tone. Heard iu sweet dreams. But now alone I sit, Musing of her, and dew with maurnful tears The little robes that once with woman's pride I wrought as if there were a need to deck A being formed so beautiful. I Urt, Half fancying from her empty crib there comes A restless sound, and breathe the accustoni'd wards "Hush, hush, Louisa, dearest' then I weep As though it were a bin to speak to one Whose home is with the angels. Gone to Gc.; And yet I wish I had net seen the pang That wrung her teatui es nor the ghostly white Settling around her lips I would that Heaven Had taken its own, like seme transplanted flower, Ja all its bloom and freshnc r s. Gone to God! Be still my heart1 what could a mother's prayer In all the wildest cxtacy of hope. Ask tor its dariing, like the bliss of Hcav V iiUoccUaucQUG From the Consultation. FLOGGING A VETERAN. Tn Massachusetts, during the last war, Vived a veteran, whom we shall here call by the name of Captain Blunt He was with most of the people of New England, opposed to the war, while it so happened -that a majority ol his townsmen were in its favor. Politics run high. The Captain was a warm partizan, and often came into collision with his opponents. Bui though he was opposed to the war, he vai not afraid of the devil and all his imps. He had a sarcastic turn which was exi ceedwgly provoking to his oppooents, vhom he charged with being bar-corn & grog shop warriors, and fighting all their battles in their chimney coiner. Dispute after dispute arose; the Cap'ain dealt ou' his sarcasms, and the warmen blustered in return. "If you was a young man," said Peter Uust, "I'd give you an all fired lickin." "Never mind my age' returned the Captain, "if that's ell you're afraid of.' "It wouldn't be no credit to Sick a man eld enough to be my grandfather,' said the windy blusterer. No, nor to get beat, if you should un dertake it replied the sturdy veteran You talk about fighting your valor lieB in your .tongue These diputea occured so often, and ao provokingly, that Peter Gust and his valorous compeers at last determined thai the Captain, old as he was, should .have a flogging But instead of index taking it themselves, they hired a stout he nigger as they called him, to do it for them. This sable mercenary came to the Captain's house, prepared to execute his commission. He had as much courage as his employers, and considerably more ot ood manners. Net deeming it either honorable or polite to attack the veteran, without first naming hi3 object, he began. "Massa Cap.em Blump, I come to gib you one all johrr uckm "You have, ha!' said the Captain, sell ing a h vppole which lay near him. 4 Yes massa But I no do it on my own'casion Misser Peter Guss, he and two tree odders, dey hira me. ."Well you go home and teU "Misrtr Peter Gust and two or three others, it they have any business wtih me to come themselves ' No rmssa mus't do dat. I promise cm my saker honor, for two quart o'rum dat I git you de mos infarnal lickin you sbcr had ir.you life. Now, Massa, Blump, you put dovn dat hoop pole and I do it dircckly.' Thus saying, Cato put himself in en attitude of attack. "Get cut of ive way you blsck rascal,' said the Captain, 'before I knock you cown. "I muss lick you, m.,, S3j(i ,hc perecrvering negro, still tna. demonstra iions cf attack; 'cause you sec 'gage to doit,and my honor be on a s.ake. I beg you pardon, mose uncerely. You neber injure me. Bu what I 'gage to do, I boun' to do. Dat is de honable tin,, Masiz B'ump . 'Get out the way,' aid the captain lain,dcnt trouble me with your jaw. "Net wid my jaw, tsaitt I do bite, I

take my fist.' Then doubling up his

huge black paw, he made a pass at the Canfaln. But the veteran, who knew how to adapt his warfare to the nature of the enemy, stept aside, very dexterously for an old man; and fetching the hooppole a sweep took Cato full upon the shins. One blow was sufficient. Down dropped the mercenary, and kicked, and hopped, and rolled over and rubbed his shins, and bawled with all his might Oh! massa 1 you kill mc dead! you break my shins. Oh ! don't tush mc 'gin I beg on you, massa Blump. My brain all smash out now 1 Your brains ! where the devil do you keep your brains ? I havu't touched your head.' "Dat wat make me feel so, massa You trike my, head I no mind it. But, Oh, gosh a-mighly ! trike a poor black fellow on de shin ! dat beat me all to oossin I no tan dat.' "Pick up your black carcas now, said the Captain 'and clear out. And hai U here do you tell those cowardly white niggers that sent you here to be flogged, that if they will come themselves, I am ready to treat with them upon the same terms.' But, massa. I can't pick up myselp I can't tan,' said the black, making a feint to rise. Can't tan 1 Well I'll tan your hide for you.' With that, he drew his hooppole, and was about laying on again, when Cato'a legs recruited wonderfully; and springing up, he limped home as well as his battered shins would permit When he told his story to Peter Gust and his companions, they stormed, swore j like troopers, and declared that the old Captain must be flogged if they had to do it with their own hands. "Bery wal' sad Cato who had taken a gill of rum, and was shaking it down into his shins 'Misser Cap'em Blump. be ready for you he got a hoop-pole all cm and dry he flog ebery dibble on you, all in a heap. He terrible ole man dat Cap'em Blump!" "He must be flogged, said Peter Gust, endeavoring to raise his own courage by blustering. It takes a man to do dat, massa Gust, said Cato, who sb groaning over his wounded shins 'an it you take a nigger device, you no tuch him you let misser Blump 'lone, hereafter foreber an a day. Peter Gust and his compeers blustered about, swore drank rum, and finally se out to put their threats in execution a gaints the sturdy old Captain. But their courage like that of Bob Acr s, oozed out by the way; the advice of C ato wa-o adopted: and thus ended the attempt ai Plugging the veteran. A SCENE IN TUB LAST W Alt. The war with France being over, Ser Peter Parker took, leave of his wile at Bordeaux, and we, with a large convoy carrying troop9. made sail to the coast of America. We arrived in the Chesapeake at thestime that the detestabe war of conflagration was at its height, When we entered the Potomac, a large liver which empties itself into the Chesapeake, the fertile shores of this beautiful abode presented the sad effects ol the war, on each side houses were burning with fearful rapidity, and, when night came on, they resembled the signal-fires of the In dians, blazing in all the horr&rs of destruction. The next day our marines ac compaoied the maiines of the rest of the squadron in one of these expeditions. We were commanded by Sir G. Cockburn in person; and wih him as an ama teur, was the late gallant General Ross, who was afterwajds killed at Baltimore. Our destination w as up a riverwhich runs at the back of St George's Island; and thc object was -to destroy a factory, which was not on'y the abode oi" innocent lahor, but likewise the resort of some few r6tTi tia men guilty of the unnatural sin of pro tecting their own country. We started in the morning, and having landed about five miles up the river proceeded along a pretty fair road, flanked on c&ch side by large woods, which led to the factory General Ross directed the movements ot our skirmishes, and instructed ourei general in some of tbe safeguardsf land army. When we arrived within t cV hundred yards of the town. Sir Peter gave the word for his division to charge; and at a full trot we arrived at the factory Our approach had been long known; every one but the women at d children had deserted the town, and had taken with them most of the implements o! their labour; we therefore most valiantly set fire to the unprotected property, not withstanding the tears and the cries of the women; and, like a parcel of savages a? we were, we danced round the wreck of ruin It is now of no use to dive into the

reason why this, savage mode of warfare ; ice is more porous than water, and there was resorted toj it was generally asserted j fore occupies more room. A single to be merely retaliation in the South, for ! cubic inch of water, whi e freezing, exaggressions in the North: in short, as the ! pands with a force eatnl to thirteen tons.-

Americans burnt right and lelt in Cana b, we did them the same compliment in the Chesapeake, thereby following aaeximp!e which greater barbarians thanurelves have shuddered to commit. Be it as it may, every house which we could by ingenuity vote into the residence of a militia-man was burnt; and, as almost every pian in America did belong to the militia, we had abundant opportunites of becoming the most scientific destroyers of all sorts and kinds of propei ty. On our return from the factory, General ijoss went on board the Admiral's sjiip whilst SirG. Cockburn and Sir p Parker, with t sufficient force, landed on th shore im-

'mediately behind St. George's Island, j

and proceeded to surround a dwellinghouse near the beach. It was nine o'clock in the even'mg; the tun had long set, nd the moon threw a clear pale light over the landscape. The house as surrounded with fir trees; and the inhabitants little dreamt, in so calm and beautiful a night, that the destroyer was at hand. All was hushed and quiet, with the ex ception ot the chirping cricket, and the ripple of the water as it broke on the beach. Like midnight mordcreia we sitting quietly at tea, occupying themscl ves with their work, and apparently ex pecting a visit from some persons with whom they were better acquainted. Sir. G. Cockburn, Sir Pe.iei Pu.ker, and myself entered the room rather suddenly, and a simultaneous scream was our welcome. Sir. G. Cockburn has naturally an austere countenance ; but Sir Peter Parker, who was the handsomest man in the navy, wore always a winning smile and a cheerful demeanour. The ladies iustantiy appealed 1 to the lane,; but he , and knew how to obey was a good ofneer as well as command. Sir Georce asked for the colonel, theii father. He was out, arulnot expected home. uHe piovided arms for some of the miiiua?' continued 5ir George. There seemed a slight vc quiescence on the part of the ladies. hicb was followed by these words "I am sorry to be guilty ot an apparent incivili'y; but your father has u ainly as siited in aiming the militia and I must now do my duty, In ten roinutestime 1 mu3t set lit e to this house; therefore use that period in removing your most valu able effects, for at tie expiration of those ien minutes I shall give oiders to burn the premises ' Ary one who knew Sir George would have known that he never deviated from his word, and consequenty woutd have begun to have packed up with all dispatch. Not so the young ladies,; ihey threw themselves cn their knees, begged, implored, urged, and prayed the Admiral to depart and leave thewx to their home and their father: "They never assisted in the war, excepting to succour a wounded enemy' "They never urged their fai her to arm the militia:' they were, in fact, poor ard unprotected females. Five minutes had dapsed: in vain ihey implnredSir George 0 forego his intennons. The youngest, -i giri ot 3bout sixteen, and lovely beyond he general beauty of those patts, ihtew jerseifatSir Peter Pat kei's knees, and irayed him to interfere. The tears star'ed from his eyes in a moment; and I was so bewildered at the aficeting scene that 1 appeared toste through the 'hick mist. There stood Sir George, his countenance unchanged aid unchangeable: his watch u the table, and his eyes fixed upon it. One girl had seized upon his lefi arm, which she prtssvd with her open hands, another siood a kind of Niobo of tears; whilst the third ;nd youngest was on ther knees befo:e Sir Peter. His feelincrs j soon overcan c liis duty, and ha had be gun a sentence, wiucn the Admiral cut short; the time was expired, and T was i desired to order the men to bring the fire balls. Never shall I forget the despairot that moixent. Poor Sir Peter wept like j a child, whilst the girl clung to his knee nd impeded his retreat; thc Admiral walked out with his usual haughty stride, followed by the two eldest girh, who again and again vainly implored him to countermand the older. Sir Peter was scarcely clear of the threshold wbea the flames of the house threw a light over the before sombre darkness. We retreated 4 from the scene of ruin, leaving the three j daughters gazing at thc work of dt struclion, which made the innocent houseless, and the affluent beggars. I will not rjive m opinion concerning the feelings of Sir j tieorge: I am sure he felt as a brave man always feels, when female beauty interferes with his duty. The last struggle to retain his composure when he called out "Begird" was ineffectual; he felt as much as others, hot he had more command over his feelings. I know he is a brave man, and therefore am sure he in herits that feeling which is common to Jat class of men. By the light of that house we embark ed, and returrred on board. It was a scpnn whirl, imnrM.l Wolf iti , . , . . j 1 , 7 nearr, ami wnicn my memory anu my hand, unwilJingly recal and publish. SCIENTIFIC niNTa. Ice is the natural state of water; it is only by the addition caloric, (heat,)' that it becomes fluid. The reason whv water in freezing bursts the closed vessel in which it is contained, or rises in ih form of a buib in an open one, is because . The Dorous nature of the ice accounts for

its swimming on the surface of water. Were it not for thii beautiful exception to th& common law of nature, by which all other bodies contract on the applica. tion of cold, successive layers of ice would be formed, and sink to the bottom, till the whole fluid mass would become -ne solid body of ice, by which all evap. oration would be prevented, and vege tables deprived of their nourishment would wither and decay ; animals would perish from thirst and cold, Sc this single change in the law of nature would be sufficient to destroy all living substances.
