The desire to do evil is not so often en- gendeTed'by want or dreaded by the mad halluciations of deep affliction, as. it is rrrrrtJ<o-^by i '-'thi?«-hea«^^fhe ! 'black heart, Which is its own destroyer, and which enclosed in a well clad form or rendered more apparent to the superficial eyo by- an outward show of rags, is all the same —a bad monitor, prompting to crime, and sowing the seeds of wretchedness wherever the soil of human weakness, or worldly credulity offers an unbroken sur- face to the wiclced seedsman. The own- er of a black heart never escapes the consequence of his derelictions. Sooner or later the wrath of offended justice prostrates the unfortunate criminal, and leaves to those who have been spared the curse of natural depravity, a dreadful monument of warning. Black is the heart that can frame a wo- man's ruin ; doubly dyed in wickedness is the mtSd that, regardless of the holi- est human obligations, can falsely by in- uendo, and disingenuous insinuation, soil the name of a virtuous female. Such hearts and minds are legitimate prey— their eradication the meed of duty, and a heavenly task. With swelling vein? and qniekeaing pulse have we often listened to the fol- lowing tale of retributive justice, related by a venerable South Carolinian. In a small village in the State that Ma- rion has rendered famous, dwelt a young man of property and position, named Saunders. With every blessing that ren- ders life aught but a burden, Saunders was the most restless, unhappy and una- amiable person in town. His whole stu- dy was deceit—his delight the pursuit of female loveliness. No character was pure as far as this licentious man was concerned. By the force of his social position, he gained access to the best so- ciety and seemed on terms of .the great- est intimacy with all the ladies in the vi- cinity j and as he was, prepossessing in personal appearance, .and. gifted with an .intellect which ranged fac beyond tbe or- dinary estimate of talent, bis company was sought by many a fair demoiselle and dame. Notorious for his wicked propen- sities, he ought lo have been shunned by everything that bore the imprint of hu- manity ; but there is something unac- countable in the foibles and whims of poor human nature ; and as the moth flutters about thjg_jflatn§, after its .wings are singed, so act we in things human. In every village there ace ajways more belles than one, as well, as rival factions in favor of males who claim the right to lead the fashions, and set the tastes and opinions of the miniature community of which they form a part. By the gad- flies, and would-be gay, fashionable peo^ pie, all that Saunders said and did was emulated. 'He drank wine until it got the better of him— consequently his com- panions often became intoxicated. He gamed deeply : so did his associates.— All his vices were copied, while his few minor virtues (spears of grass in a desert of sand,) were suffered to remain unno- ticed. The sensible portion of the in- habitants despised him, and pointed to a young lawyer named Wright, as a model of. a moral* honest, industrious^ well- meaning man, whose heart was in the right pmoe'and in the horizon of whose future, were stars of brilliant promise. As a natural consequence, Saunders h&- tf^vW^nfya.pd' .urged his companions to insult 'him whenever trie- proceeding numerous extravagan|, pleasure parties made up by his weaKly enemies.\ The most of bis leisure tlfeftffiwas spent at the cottage of a beauiifulftung girl whom lje\ardently loved, apWwhose condition in life, humble as his iWn, offered no ob- stacle to their unioti. • founders had nev- ffcr.been able fo' makf^||ie acquaintance of Mary, although be jad, at a dinner, publicly sworn to acconjplish her ruin. She had always manifested disgust of his character. His na|p| &d never passed her lips save _whet{ dQapjed with an ex- pression/of dislike %j||;fl. \ SaundeVs can vanquish any girl |i the village save Mary Buridon,\ was t|| common asser- tion jestingly made jwjen his gallantries were brought up as i|a'tt^rs of conversa- tion. Thus matters $th&& in December of 18—. #4 It was a cold—a bftter night. The snow was unusually defep for that region, and the frosty air pjercld all the woolen the careful and thrifty louse wives could heap upon their sons ayd husbands. In short the weather wa| so cold that a sleighing party compared of Saunders and his clique had abandoned their pro- ject of going out, and settled themselves comfortably before the Tgoad and compre- hensive fire-place in thjp bar-room' of-.the village taverp. • \— \ Hurrah ! To the ladleis who were to have gone with u;s to-night,\ said Saun- ders, merrily, raising a glass of punch to his lips. The toast was drunk, uproarously, and the noise had hardty subsided, ere the door opened to -admit young Wright.— Had acongreverocketentered the room greater astonishment cctuld not have been depicted on every countenance. Glasses were unceremoniously Set 4pwn, and in- quiring glances were rapidly thrown from one reveller to another, so palpable that Wright must have noticed tnem. How- ever, he very quietly took his seat at a tenantleis table in a dark corner of the apartment, and then disencumbered him- self of all lits outer travelling gear, \ Landlord,\ said he, 'f I have never been here before, and my unlooked for appearance, for my own sake ought to be accounted for.. I have attended the Cir- cuit Court, about ten miles distant, and walked the whole way back. Almost frozen, I thought to get here, what I cannot obtain at my lodgings, a cup of mulled wine.\ Silently the landlord executed the or- der. Wright polled some documents from his pocket, and witjteut noticing any one began to read. In'aT&w minutes the revellers recovered their equilibrium, and called for more liquor. \ As this Weather would delight an Icelander, but is rather out of place here, suppose we make a night of it?\ bawl- ed one of the Saunders's toadies. \ Agreed !\ shouted the voices unani- mously. \ Aye! we can go to bed when we are tired of each other's company,\ re- marked Saunders. \ Only -one event can make\ the night endurable here—the appearance of a pretty woman,\ said a burly roue at Saun- der's right. \ Now to sting this misanthrope fool yonder\—whispered Saunders. He con- tinued in aloud voice-\ Women 1 Pshaw! There is but one woman in this village that is worth a thought.\ \ Who is she V chorussed the baccha- nals. \ Mary Buridon.\ \ She's invulnerable,\ said one. \She has no heart. She is utterly bereft of soul and sentimeut.'' \ No soul! No sentiment!\ exclaim- ed Saunders. \ There you are mistaken. Not many hours since I me< her near her father's house, and had quite an interes- ting tete a tete, as her Frenchman of a parent would say. Before I left her she honored me with a kiss !\ \ A kiss ?\ was the general interroga- tory shout. Wright's face blanched as white as thppaper in his hands, but he said noth- ing. \ He's romancing,\ said the burly roue; \ don't believe a word of it..\ \ On my soul and honor I speak the truth,\ responded Saunders, emphatical- ly- • \ Perjured villain 1\ ejaculated a deep, but tremulous voice behind him. \ Who spoke ?\ fiercely demanded Saunders, \Ididj\ said Wright, calmly advan- cing to the centre of the apartment. \ Did you apply those words to me, sir 1\ inquired Saunders. \ I did.\ \ Then you are a scoundrel and a coward, and I will have your heart's blood.\ Everybody rose sobered from the ta- ble, and gathered around Saunders.— Wrjght Was the first to speak. \ You have told roe what ym wiil do; now listen to me. You hay^e dared .to lie, to the discredit of a virtjiou,s young lady—her name has been bandjed about by your drunken compani'oibsV as if she were a creature as vile as ^ourselves.— You have profaned that nanje in a low and disgraceful manner, and'unless you refpair those Injuries, you sbajflTfee punish- ea - . r. •»*—; \ Punished!\. almost yel|e.4„the liber- tine. \Punished!\ said WrijgJhJ;jirmly.— \ Unless you now, and at once confess partment. Every man's breath was drawn with a hissing sound through his clenched teeth. Wright reflected a mo- ment, and then, while his eyes gleamed J$? th P aS8 .ion, £e asked, in husky tones, *« will you fight?\ \ I will have nothing to do with you. For the language you have used, I will have my revenge when and where I can get it.\ \ Miserable coward, take that!\ ex- claimed Wright, throwing a briming tum- bler of hot punch full into Saunder's face. \ Enough!\ muttered the latter be- tween his clenched teeth. \I have changed my mind. Name your time and place, I accord you that privilege.\ \ The time NOW!—the place HERE !— the weapons THERE !\ replied Wright^ as he produced a brace of pistols. The company stood aghast. They had trampled on a man whom they had rnis- talten for a milksop; and he had prov- ed a lion in courage, as well as a Napo- leon in firmness. \ This may do very well for a brava- do,,\ said Saunders' burly friend; \ but you do not pretend to say that we should turn this place into a slaughter house.\ \ Hark ye !\ said Wright, in a manner which showed that he was weighing ev- ery word ; \ for years this man has car- ried dismay and misery into the peace- ful family circle. Month after month he has followed the pastime of traducing the character of unprotected families.— He has at least vilified the only one I love on earth ; she who is to become my wife. I know well enough that unless this slander is formally retracted, she is ruined in the estimation of at least half the community. All the happiness I hppe to enjoy on earth is centered in her purity. If I am killed, her fate will not be more deplorable than at present.— 'Therefore Mr. Saunders must retract, or I will fire upon him.\ Mute inquiries were exchanged—in- decision and fear were marked on each Jace. Saunders mechanically outstretched his hand and took one of the pistols, looked around the room as if for advice, and then replacing the pistol on the table, said \ I am in the hands of my friends.\ \ Fight as I propose,\ said the burly man. Without seeming to fully comprehend the remark, Saunders nodded assent, and Wright immediately agreed to settle the matter in any method the roue might sug- gest. \ This, then, is the plan : You shall each fire at that spot in the wall op- posite. He who strikes nearest the cen- tre shall have the first fire at his antago- nist at six yards.\ Tho «cho of ihe last word had; scarcely died away before Wright fired at the mark. Breathlessly they -waited •fbrihe' smoke to clear away. . \ He is an inch wide of the spot,\ said the burly man coolly. \ Now Saunders, it is your turn.\ With trembling sinews Saunders rais- ed his arm and fired. A crash of glass followed the report. He had missed the wall and shattered the window three feet wide of the spot indicated. \ Gentleman, stand apart!\ exclaimed Wright. They all gathered behind him, leaving the enemies with about the space of six yards between them, and face to face. \ Mr. Saunders, your life is mine by all the ties of honor, but I Waive my right to take it, provided you retract your falso assertion.'' \ No,\ groaned Saunders, \ I dare not do that. Murder me if you will—I can- not disgrace myself.\ \ Some one count three,\ was Wright's rejoinder, \ and 1 will fire when he is done.\ \One! two.'\ \ Do not say THKEE ! shrieked the coward, falling on one knee, and shield- ing his head with outstretched hands.— do not say three ! I defamed her — I re- tract — She is as pure as my own sister .'\ Without saying another word Wright left the tavern. The next morning, un- able to bear his own humbled condition there, Saunders departed from the vil- lage, and his companions, deprived of their leader, settled down in a very short time into respectable members of socie- ty. Wright and Mary became man and wife—of course. The old gentleman who related the subject of this sketch af- terwards saw Wright on the floor of Con- gress. There is no wrong so skilfully wrapt in sophistry, or protected by the machi- nations of the individual who commits it, but njust at some period meet the aveng- ing stroke, while he who persists in right must surely meet his merited reward.

But 1 have more to say of Ireland and the Irish, for which your readers have no patience at present Yours, respectfully, T. B. \Every Man his own\ Miller. We spent an hour on Saturday in a visit to the manufactory ofFiTZOERALD's PORTABLE MILL forgrinding grain, coffee, spices, salt, &c, of which we have hith- erto spoken. It is in Eighth St., near Sixth avenue: Messrs. Ross, Gunn & Greene, proprietors- Several of the mills were put in operation by hand and steam power, converting wheat and corn into good flour and meal with satisfacto- ry rapidity. Its rates of grinding is cer- tified, to be Corn, per homv 4 ioahels. Ooffae do. 12 bushels. Wheat, to flour, 6- <lo. * Bl«okpeppor> 8 do. Allspice, 6 bushels per hoar. We presume it is not intended that this mill shall ever supersede entirely the great flouring establishments now in be- ing, but for any new settlement—for a band of emigrants to the far West—for a plantation or neighborhood distant from mills—it seems almost indispensable.— One of these millscostsfrom $4.0 toSlOO ; weighs from three to five hundred pounds; hardly occupies more room than a chest of drawers, may be put up by an ordina- ry mechanic in any spare-room, barn or woodshed, and will grind Q>y horse- power) almost any farmer's grain, with far less expense of time and team than would be required to take it to a mill two miles off. It may be propelled by water, steam, horse or hand-power,, and few farms this way are without a brook that would suffice to turn it at a trifling cost. Those who have experienced the de- lights of going ten or twenty miles to mill, over bad roads, and then finding the mill out of order, or choked with custom, so that another day must be spent in com ing after the meal, will know how to ap- preciate this invention. The grinding surfaces are of ihe best French Burr- Stone, readily picked and put in order by almost any one. The first one put up in this city,about two years ago, is now in daily operation, as good a sever, & grinds 300 lbs. of coffee per hour. There are many neighborhoods in which it would be richly worth $1,000 to have one of them. We saw two of them put up for the California Expedition.—iV. Y.

A correspondent of the N. Y. Merald : says:— \ I have just seen a copy of a deed of some forty acres of land in Hamilton co., N. Y., given by the celebrated landhold- er, Ger-rit Smith, Esq , to a colored.man residing in that county. He has made out two thousand deeds of a similar char- acter to one I saw? conveying lands, from 40 to 50 acres each, as gifts to industri- ous colored men in this State, and designs,, I am informed, to niake out one thousand more. The considerations in the deeds are as follows: ' For and in considera- tion of the sum of one dollar to me, in hand, paid, and being desirous to have all share in the subsistence and happiness which a bountiful God has provided fpr all, has granted, sold, &c.' \ What the value ot these lands may be per acre,' and whether sufficient to make all these two or three thousand nie,n voters or nqt, I am unable to state. That it will make some of them such there can be no doubt. \You aire aware that, during the past season, l!i|r. Smfrh has been Beijing o{§ large portions of bis\ vast iandetfjproperty at auction.

When he was ushered *fn to dinner the first day, he was surprised at the number of people who sat down, as well as at the vastness of the dining-room. He was surprised to see that each man had a printed account of his dinner before him, and that each one, as he thought, ate! according to the directions. He was quite hungry—and well he might be af- ter waiting threejbonrs over his time—so he attacked the bead of the bill with vig- or and ate down as far as he could; but soon came to a gtand. Just then the gen- tlejhan otrtiis right \'requested the Waiter to bring him some oyster-pie* which our friend beard, and instantly referred to his list to see where it was. \ What!\ exclaimed he* with astonishment, turning to his neighbor, are you %H the way down there % Why, I have only got to roast beef, and I feel already^ if I would bu>st!\ n ' of cultivators, is % phenomeho3;ijf,jr|t)& no one nor nation has found an example.
