The Eomanoe of Bad life. Dark and dreadful was the night of the 29 th of November, 1689, and heavily fell the snow flakes; but darker were the pros pects, and heavier was the heart of the poor Livonian, as he reached the skirts of the dense forest surrounding the town of Marienburg. Misfortune had compelled the indignant peasant to sever the endearing relations that bound him to his native vil lage, to bid a final adieu to the scenes of his early days, to abandon his favorite haunts of sacred memory, and seek among strangers, that which was denied him in the midst of his friends. Accompanied by his first born, a spright ly youth of fourteen, and bearing in his weary arms a tender infant, the express image of her whom he had lately consign ed to. the tomb, he had well-nigh comple ted a faithful journey through a bleak and inhospitable region. A violent storm of snow and wind, (peculiar to that dreary country,) fiercely raged, bearing destruc tion nnd desolation in its progress, and pro ducing terror in the minds of the unshelt ered wanderers. Overcome by the cold, and unable longer to sustain his precious charge, he carefully deposited it upon a bed of snow, and went in quest of assistance, and a, kind retreat from the howling storm. But he returned not again. The early dawn had discovered a frozen corpse to the astonished tenants of an obscure cottage in the outskirts of the quiet village. \ Great God ! what do I hear !\ ejacula ted tho pious minister, Skovrouski, as its subdued cries of distress, falling upon his eager ear t during a temporary cessation of the storm, attracted his attention to the fro zen embankment upon which rested the deserted infant He hesitated not to re flect upon the cruel misfortune that had bereft the infant of paternal protection, nor dul he waste lime in the frnitlcss endeavor to discover those who had abandoned their offspring to the peltings of the storm. Con tent to acknowledge the mysterious agen cy of \Him who uoetli all things well,\ and \heareth the young ravens when they cry,\ he flow with winged footsteps to its rescue. Wrapping it in his ample cloak, ho.hasten- cd to reach his humble home, that ho might minister to its relief ere the spirit had fled to that undiscovered country from whose b<uirne no tra\tiler returns. Arrived ot the peaceful cot, he consigned his tender i h.ti'ge to the rare of his kind-hearted housekeeper, and again sullied forth in search of other objects for his benevolence. He had nut proceeded far before his atten tion wns urresti d b\ the melancholy scene before noticed Papers were found upon the unfortunate stranger which induced the good minister to believe that he was the parent of the in fant which he had rescued from the ruth less elements of the night before ; and no so< iner was he impressed with the idea than the resolution was taken to adopt the ten der babe as his own daughter, and to bring it up in the path of duty, and in the nur ture and admonition of the Lord. Order ing that the last tribute of respect be paid to the remains, according to the ntes of the Greek Church, he took charge of its effects, for the benefit of his youthful protege Years passed away, and under the affec tionate care and protection of the good pastor and his benevolent companion, Kath arine, (for so she was named Dy her foster parents,) increased not only in personal beauty and loveliness, but, as she grew in a young Cossattk offifcer, who struck with her charms, had accompanied her to the gory field. \The evening air is chilling, and this is no place for women, pray return, and leave me to seek your wound\ kinsman.\ Astonished at the sound of a human voice, she turned and recognized in the stranger, the sentinel who had impeded her progress without the city walls. Refusin ' his generous offer, she permitted him to ai in her errand of mercy and love. Long and tedious W|B the search, but unavailing, and at early Tlawn they return ed to the city, havinc^iled to find the re mains of the good old mjnister. Katharine religiously kept her word, and surrendering herself a prisoner of war, de manded the protection of the noble general. Bereft of her preserver and benefactor, she was now alone in the world, and though young, with promise of long life, there were no ties to bind her to earth, and she longed to join her pious and devoted guardian — A prisoner, she was treated with marked courtesy and respect, by the general-in- chief, who ordered her well-furnished apart ments, and paid every attention to her com fort and pleasure. She also received many kindnesses from the youthful Ccssack, who at length became enamored of her charms, and proved the strength of his attachment, by procuring her release from confinement, upon his parole of honor, and personal se curity lor her safety. His OSMUUOUS atten tion to her wants, and earnest efforts in her behalf, were not Without rewnfd; for she s<xin came to regard him as her hope, her refuge, and lord of her affections. The General and the young officer, who from his dress, appeared to be but a \sim ple lieutenant,\ were the only occupants of the tent, and Katharine was employed in superintending their domestic affuirs. One day as she was engaged in serving their customary meal, the conversation turn ed upon the merits of their fair maid, and the young officer addressing the former in terms laudator}' of ber courage and beau ty, concluded with the inquiry — \General will vou Bell \our prisoner ?\ \ And what will you do with her?\ \ Make her my wife,\ rejoined the Cos sack. \What say you, Katharine?\ he added, turning to the blushing damsel. Her hesitating response was, \I would rather be the wife of a soldier, than the servant of a great general \ \Bravely spoken! from this moment \ou are mine,\ ho rejoined, \but we mu-t oh Utin the permission of the Czar 1 will immediately to the Kmperor 's tent, and re- cei \e his sanction to our union, llemain here, while I seek an audience of our majestv \ In a few moments a \outig lieutenant, ad^ ancmg to the general 's tent said— The Czar Peter, commands the pres ence oi Madame Katharine.\ \With a quick, though trembling step, she followed, and, on entering the magnifi cent tent, discovered a throng of officer* surrounding one who was seated, and «Vn Mist Dix, tha \Craxy Angel.\ whom she recognised her affianced husAAnd the de uid ei I \Where is the Emperor?

And soon she waf.'ena- bled, by assiduous attention to &.c wants of their declining years, to tesHy her ap preciation of their 8e1f -sacri»joing devotion to her youthful days. The Czftr of Russia, -<iot content with his widely extended dominions, and desirous of the conquest arid annexation of the prov ince of Liv'-.nia, had already marched his forces upon its chief city. Katharine had attn'«:wd her thirteenth year, when his for midable cannon announced to the inoffenr sive inhabitants the bombardment of their quiet town. With a view to her safety, she was separated from the aged pastor, and sent to his sister, Alexia The patriotic Skovrouski remained to assist in the defence of his native city. But the efforts of the besieged proved unavailing, and they wero compellea to surrender as captives of war, and subjects of the Emperor of Russia The humiliating news spread like light- hing, and no sooner did it reach the eager ears of Katharine, than she deierrnined to .return and share the fate of her benefactor. The dusky shades of evening were just closing in, as a horse, reeking with foam, and almost ready to sink from exhaustion, reached the border of the wood nearest the gates of Marienburg. Emerging from the shade of the trees, its progress was sudden ly arrested by a soldier seizing the bridle, and rudely demanding— \Where are you going ?\ \ What is that to you ?\ was the peremp tory reply. u t am in haste, and pray you allow me to pass unmolested.\ \Impossible •!\ replied the sentinel \you are a Livonian, and now Livonia belongs this day to Peter L of Russia.

The bride is from South Carolina, and her father, and her former husband, both of whom have been dead many years, were wealthy planters. Some five years ago the young widow made a >isit to England, in company with her brother, a Southern gen tleman of fortune, f>n the return, the} em barked in a ship in which the groom w as serving as a common sailor By some ac cident she was knocked ovorboard in the harbor of Liverpool, sank to the bottom and was given up as lost Our hero, how ever, did not abandon the search. A slight change in the position of the vessel, discov - ered her, the water being remarkably clear, lying on the ground, twenty feet below the surface, and apparently dead. He instant ly plunged to the bottom, seized her by the hair and brought her to the top, a large lock of hair being pulled out in the attempt, which is still preserved. After some hours of persevering exertion, she was finally brought to, and perfectly re stored. She was deeply grateful to the preserver of her life, and on the homeward voyage she formed a strong attachment to him, and a union for life was resolved up on. Their plans were, however, frustrated, and for peveral years they never met In the meantime her fortune became impair ed.

She is now at the capital of Alabama, beseech ing the Legislature to erect a state asylum for the unfortunate in that State.. ,Xl will' be recollected that she was in this Sfete 'a few years since, on the same charitable er rand. The seeds thus sown among us have since germinated. StepB are now taken for one within our borders. Nine years ago we had the pleasure of spending an evening with her. She then said, if her life was spared, she intended to beseech every State where there is no asy lum for the insane, for the erection of one. Several States, since then, through her in strumentality und perseverance, have erect ed asylums. While on this subjet t, we take occasion to relate an anecdote, in relation to one in Rhode Island As both of the parties are now dead to whom we allude, it is too good to be lost Nicholas Brown, of Providence, R. I., was a great fnend to all charitable institu tions. There was no insane hospital in the State. Miss Dix visited him for the pur- jx>se of getting him enlisted for the erec tion of One. After much persuasion, she got him committed to the project* with a promise to make a liberal subscription. Mr. Brown loved to draw the coppers from Cyrus Butler's huge purse. Ho would give away a thousand at any time for a charitable purpose, provided a like amount could be obtained from his friend B., a milhonare, who was a noted miser.— Mr. Brown luaded the subscription with $30,000, and interlined the paper, stating that the institution was to take the nitim of the largest subscriber. He thought in that way he would entrap his friend But ler for a larger sum than he hud put down. He succeeded. Miss Dix repeatedly called on Mr But Icr, but he kept constantly putting her off. without using his pen. She had learned his character, and determined lo importune the old bachelor, until she had obtained a noble sum One day she called on bin at lus counting room, where seTeral Were wailing their turn to do business. As she went in, Mr. B. was somewhat yut of hu mor. He was disputing an m of some ten tents in a carpenter's recount. She u< nth tupped him on th»\ shoulder, and laid the subscription bepVe lum.

They wear wild looking caps of fur, blanket coats, pants secured around the waist by a belt, and deer skin mocca sins. Their complexion is swarthy, their hair and oyes black.

From OK Western Literary Messenger, It is well known, that in the late, despe rate struggle of (he Hunjgarians, a few fe males \took part ih some of the awfully aan- mnnary battles. Among these brave and .pjttriouo women, we can mention the name of one only—Appollonia Jageflo, who*<#ed to this country with Ujhasy and other refu gees. In the winter of 1849-50, in com pany with a few of her companions in mis fortune, she visited th«. Brooklyn Female Seminary. Being mtroduoed to, the pupils, they Bang her a song jrjhich fbrew tears from her eyes, and called forth a burst of patriotic sentiment, which is rarely excelled for eloquence by the best and most experi enced (leclairoers. It was as follows \ Until now I have not wept since I left ni) home across tlie sea,—but the air you have sung has come to mc like a dream ol Ilungar) It has carried me back ngaia It is like the songs of my own land. My heart melts as 1 hear it, and see thesi young faces so like angels in their look of lot e and kindness. \ 1 do not deserve the praise you jgive me 1 did no more than others, no more than all should do.for freedom—but I have been more fortunutc than some of my companions. Beside myself, there were three women in the Hungarian army. Two of these have been shot, the ^hird is now prisoner. •. \ I am a •native of Lithnnania in Poland, and was twelve years old at the time of the last revolution there.

May yot?alwajs be free and happy!\ Still further to illustrate the noble quali ties of this woman's souL and to exhibit her eloquence, wc add another sentiment of hers, offered, on the same occasion, as she took a ribbon from her neck and pre sented to the young ladies, when, after the above above remarks, they had sung her a second air—\ I dream of ray Father-land.\ \ Let me leave this as a memorial of this happy hour. It is all I have to give; J. brought it from Hungary. Before the downfall of my country, I always wore her colors, green, and red, and blue.

The \ wild beasts\ were all traveling, and the property man, stage director, and man agers almost had fits when they thought of it Days passed in the hopeless task of tmngto secure one, but at last Yankee in genuity triumphed, as indeed it always does, und on elephant was made to order, of wood, skins, paint ,and varnish. Thus far the matter was all^vell but, as yet they had found no means/to moke said combination travcL Here again the genius of the man ager, stage director, and property man, stuck out, and one or two of^ihe \ broths\ were duly instidlcd as legs. Ned C > one of the genuine b'hoys, haU the responsible sta tion of fore legs, and* ror several nights\ he played that 'heavy part to the entire satis- lacuon of the manager and the delight of the audience. The part, however, was a ve ry tedious one, as the elephant was obliged to be on the stage for about an hour, and Ned was rather too fond of the bottle to re main so long without\ wetting his whistle,' so he sots his wits-to work to find a way to carry a wee drop with 1dm. Tho eyes of; the elephant being njade of two porter bot- j ties, with the necks in, Ned conceived the | brilliant idea of filling them with good stun. This he fully carjied out and elated with his success, willingly undertook: to play fore legs again. ^ightcame—sthe theatre was crowded witfi'the denizens of the Quaker city—the music played its sweetest strains—the music whistle sounded—the curtain rose, and the play began,, Ned and the hind legs march ed upon the. atage. The elephant was greeted with a round of applause.
