In the year 1688 , when James II fled from the country he had endeav ored to tyranize over, the French gun- brig Richelieu became separated from the rest of the fleet in a fog, on the clearing up of w h ich th o p o s it io n of the vessels was found to be so periloiis that a council was called in the chief cabin to decide upon the course to be pursued. Not a single French vessel was in sight —the Richelieu was within three miles of the E n g lish coast, and a numerous British fleet was cruising in the Chan nel; All that could, bfrdoae was to hoist British colors, and make all sail for the coast of France. When the council had risen, and their orders had been given the captain summoned to his presence an Englismah, who had smuggled him self aboard the brig, and had been de tected in the act of making signals to a British frigate. “ Now, sirrah,” said the captain, when the spy, a noble looking young toan in the garb of a pilot, was brought into the cabin by two French seamen, “ com fess your d e s ig n s ; in an unreserved Captain Perrot,” said he, “ has 'brought under my notice the unfor tunate situation of your brother. I am Lord Carlingford ; attached to the cause of Ring James, and proscribed by the usurper William, certain death awaits me, should this vessel be captured by the English. I have a daughter on board who will then ^need a-protector and a friend.” “ Proceed, sir,” said the pilot, seeing that the nobleman hesitated. “ Should the English prevail in the conflict,” continued Lord Carlingford, “ you will escape, and I sh a ll suflfer- death. Will you promise to protect her, if I, on the other hand, promise to protect your brother in the event of your death ?” , “ I will,” replied the pilot. “ I ac cept your proposal with joy, for should I be shot or hanged at the yard-arm, my widowed mother will have only Arthur to console and support her.— My name is Paul Wilson, and at Gos port you will find my mother. Con vey to her my love, and to my poor brother, give this medal.” He took from his bosom, where it was suspend ed by a ribbon, a gold medal, having on one side a portrait of James II, and on the other, the words, To Paul Wil son from the King of England. “ My father had once the good fortune to save the lives of ten persons, by bring ing them off in rough weather, from a Wrecked vessel; and the king presented him with this medal as an acknowl edgement of his services in the cause of humanity. My father set great val ue on the royal gift, and at his death bequeathed it to m e; it is the only leg acy I can leave my brother, and to your lordship’s care I entrust it.” “ Your wish shall be fulfilled,” said Lord Carlingford, taking the medal; and at that moment, the distant feport of a heavy gun, booming across the wide water, struck upon their ears. “ The battle has commenced,” ex claimed Wilson, “ and I, a prisoner cannot assist m y countrym e n .” ^ “ And I,” rejoined Lord Carlingford. “ can neither fight against my country men, nor those to whom I owe my present safety.” There was another shot—and then another~and then the whole broad side of the Eenglish vessel was brought to bear upon the Richelieu, and the iron hail^ swept the Frenohmjin’^decks. But they replied with vigor, and for more than an hour the battle raged fu riously. At length the larboard shrouds of the brig’s mainmast were cut away by a shot, and the mast itself went over the side, encumbering the deck with its cordage and spars. The English sail ors huzzaed, and the frigate running alongside the^ disabled brig, their bow sprit came over the brig’s quarters and they leaped on the deck brandishing cutlasses and boarding-pikes. Lord Carlingford rushed out of the cabin as the shots and sounds of con- ,JfWell then,” said Dame Wilson, “.yojj mjist know, my dear, that Paul, in .his Iqst letter, said that he intended to present you with a husband.^\ “ Did he ?” exclaimed Mary. “ And doubtless, be has told you who he is ?” “ Oh,A bluejacket, of.course,” re turned Dame Wilson, smiling, “ a lieu tenant in the royal navy.” “ Like Paul himself ? and. is he young ?” inquired Mary, with a girlish confession is-your only chancs of life.” _ ”Do I look like a m a n who would I him th a t the ves- tell a lie? ” returned th e Englishman. 8sl boarded by the English, to se- “ My purpose here was to learn the cute the safety of his daughter and the strength of your fleet, and thoreby serve brother.

Speak quickly, or i shall go mad.” “ He is gone, f fear,” returned the sailor. “ 1 could only save one,” “Distraction J’.’ijried Paul, clasping his hands in mj^ntal agony.* “ It will^ be his mother’s death. But for this poor orphan girl, I would not survive him ; but Lord Carlingford had vowed to protect the pilot’s brother, and I must watch o ver the safety of the no ble’s daughter.” Sixteen years had elapsed since the cauptnre of the Richelieu and the death- of Lord Carlingford, and the jovial Crew of. the Raven were carousing at the Royal Standard, a public house at Ports mouth, of which Dame Wilson, the aged mother of Paul, was the hostess. Paul had, in the interval, entered the royal navy, in which he had been advanced, owing to his good conduct and the cour age he had shown in several warm en- ga|;6mgnts, to the rankof lieutetttnt.— M ary, th e orphan daughter o f L o rd ,J cannot understand y o u .” Carlingford, was now a blooming and L “ Did I ?—did I say promised ?” beautiful young woman, and having You did. indeed; and, more than been adopted by the hostess of the ! that, you said that I should shortly be JRoyal Standard, and in the place ‘ the wife of>a brave and honest man.—- of her lost fon, npW assisted her in-the Come now, I am sure you wi!}. tell me business. what you.mestu; I am all attention.” “ Lord love you!” said one.pf the There was no resisting the.beautiful sailors, as Mary entered the room with ; girl's winning,Iook and coaxing manner, a tumbler of grog* i»-each hand, “ I * never look at you.'bub-I think how you have grown since the: day I held you up to Lieutenant* Wilson when, he was distracted like', aboul his brother^ when you -put out yottr little* arm s,' and he swore to protect you, as he had prom ised.” . ; ' “ May heaven reward him for all his kindness to me ?aid the beautiful girl. “ He has been(a father to me.” . “ I f I am a judge df them ere ticklish consarns called fe^ioga,” whUpered another of the jprow to a. messjnate, “ Mr. Wilson wmuld rather be her mate for life, than pared! . all the pow der-headed admirals in her majesty’s service.” “ That’s a nice girl enough, Toby,'- said Black Johnson to the last speaker, as Mary quitted the room. “ She would make a good sort of wife,.vl’m think ing,” “ Why, yes, plaster Johnson,” re joined Toby, “ she is a tight built craft enough, and carries,a gpod figurehead. I wonder she hasn’t been put into com mission before this.” “ Between ourself, Toby,” said John son, “ I am determined to have the girl myself, and as the Raven is under sail ing orders, I intend telling Dame Wil son so at once.” W hat!” exclaimed Toby in sur prise, “ you marry Mary !—marry your granny ! Why, you don’t think as bow she would strike her colors to such a black looking pirate as you, do you? I should as soou expect to see a pig dance a hornpipe, or old Adiniral Timbertoea come the double shuffle.” “ Y o u w a y be m istaken, T o b y ,” re turned Black Johnson. “ H o w e v e r , my mind’s made‘up, And if she won’t have m e , it shall h e the w o r st d a y ’s Work she ever did il? her life.” “ Avast there, old tar,” exclaimed Toby, “ If the young woman dosen’t like the cut of your mug, why should you be angry with her?” Johnson made no reply, but quitted the roojn into the little bar-rooin, where Alary and Dame iVil- son were silting. “ Now, Master Johnson,” said the latter, “ what are your commands ?” “ Why, you see. Dame,” replied the seamen, hitching up his trousers, “ I have had a project in my head for some time past, and as I am about to start on a'^long voyage, I think it right to let you know it, especially as it concerns you and your pretty adopted daughter.” “ M e. Mr. Johnson I” said M arv. “Me, Mr. Johnson!” said Mary, looking up with an air df surprise, “ Y o u , my pretty lass',” returned Johnson. “ You see. Dame, Tm.a plain speaking man, and therefore I will put i t before you in a few w o rds. Your son Haul is a popr man, though he has been made a lieutenant; and this pub lic house of your'a doesn’t answer very well. Now you see I have saved some prize-money, and have got a good berth, and-—should like to take Mary off your hands and make her my wife.” * “ That shall never be!” exclaimed Mary. “ You will not consent to this, m y more than m o ther?” “ Hear me, Johnson,” said. Dame Wilson. “ You see that your suit does not find favor in M ary's eyes, nor does it in mine. It is true, you are-roport- ed to be rich, but are disliked, by all your m e s s -m a tfs.

Mary was surprised by what she had heard, but the intelligence, as our read ers o f the fair sex. will allow to be natu ral, had not failed to interest her. She was musing on the subject, and wonder ing whether her future husband was fair or dark, when a handsome young ra.an< wearing the uniform of a naval lieutenant, entered. “ What a handsome fellow!” thought Mary. “ What fine eyes he has! Sup pose .this is h im ! — ” , “ My pretty lass,” said the stranger, surveying her with undisguised admira tion, “ are not thq cjrew of the Raven stopping here ?” •• I—I—yes, sir,” said Mary, entering the bar, and speaking confusedly, for she felt fluttered. “ This is the place, “ Then von expected me, of course,” said the young officer. Yqs, sir, I heard—that is, my moth er heard,” returned Mary, her embar rassment increasing. “ Did yo u ----- '■ down with Lieutenant Wilson ?” “ Yes, we traveled together,” replied the stranger. He is a strange fellow ? but do not run awa^, my dear!” “ I will tell my mother that you have arrived, sir,” said Mary, tripping away. “ Oh, mo.ther, I haVe sOeil him 1—ho is com e!” she exclaimed, on meeting Dame Wilson. “ Seen who ?—has Paul arrived ?” inquired the dame, eagerly. No, not Paul, but my intended hus band,” replied Mary, blushing; “ What mistake is this ?” said the dame, in a tone o f great surprise; but before Mary, now as surprised as* her self, and not a little confused, could re ply, Paul Wilson entered. “ My dear mother, and you my dear M a ry, w e lc o m e to m y arm s,” said he, embracing them in turn. “ But tvhy this altered manner, Mary ?—you were p o t w o n t to receive m e th u s.” “ The girl’s wits ffre wool-gathsring, I think,” said Dame Wilson. „ “ What does it mean, child ?” , “ Oh, do not ask me, mother,” re-- turned Mary, whose confusion was now increased by the appearance of the young officer, whose personal appear ance had made so profound an impres sion upon her. “ Who is that officer,” inquired the dame. as. she entered the. parlor, ' “ Lieutenant Howard,” replied Paul, who holds the rank next below mine aboard the Raven. A popinjay to whom court favor gives the privilege of stepping over older heads, and the com mand of those much more deserving, than himself. When I considered that^ this cause bad lost my country’s honor, battles. Jives, I scarcely could conceal my anger. An argument arose between US as we journeyed hither; possessing all the pride of aristocratic birth, his language was haughty and supercillious —I could not' brook Ms hearing, and we parted foes.” While Paul was giving these particu lars to Ms'mother and Mary, Lieuten ant Howard entered the parlor. That must be our second luff,” said Toby to,a messmate, in an under tone. “ He looks like a man.,milliner.. Come boys 1—a cheer and a b'umper to Lieu tenant Wilson, and confusion to all dandy interlopers I” These words and the stentorian cheer thajt followed, so offended the young lieutenant that he instantly left the room, and appeared in the bar room, with flushed brow,and angry glauces. I always thought till mow,” said he glancing at Paul, “ that tfa.6 uniform I wear would command the respect of those who are to- serve under m e ; hut it does not seem so. I wiR therefore take my leave, thanks to my brother officer, this iff no place for me,” “ I fear the humble men in that room are not company for you,” returned Paul* \ I see that you are annoyed; you should reraeipber that they have shared my dangers—that by their as sistance I have gained my countri’s thanks and the rank I bear. Your epaulettes^ Mr, Howard, are new and bright—they dazzle the eyes arid j^itter in the sun; mine are tarnished, Itod look the worse for active service—but they speak o f hard-fought engagements* and Ihiirefore command respect.” “ I understand your taunt,” returned 1 “ My much loved Mary !” exclaimed Paul, straining her to Ms breast, and kissing her with Impassioned ardor.^—- 1 “ T his is indeed, a. happy hour to m e! : But I will hot sacrifEce yoiir comfort or ' risk your safety, Mary! the promise you,-have given is sufficient to make mp bappjv Forget it not, Mary—yon are my betrothed wife 1 ’ Gne more era- braCf and then farewell 1” .Again he folded her in his arms, again their lips met, and then Paul tore f l 5 0 I N - A D Y A N C K ® ferent to.

Thus, speaking, he left tho house, and had 'the mortification of hearing anoth er cheer for Lieutenant Wilson, as he passed the parlor window.' “ Where is Mary ?” said Mark John son to Toby, entering the room, soon af ter Howard had quitted the house. *' I want to have a few words with her,” “ Avast there, Master Johnson,” re turned Toby. “ Itjs no use steering for that port I can tell you. I saw the col ors she hung out just now to the young lieutenant, and if she arn’t-hankering after him, say I don’t know the main,-.' mart from a monkey’s tail,” \ I, have given-up all thoughts of her,” said the boatswain.

But see—here she comes ! You don’t look so trim as usual, Mary.” “ How can you expect^ it, Toby ?” said Mary, who was sadly fluttered by the mistake she had made apd the im- presrion which the young lieutenant bad made upon her heart. Within an hour I shall lose my best friend.” “ If you jnean Lieutenant Wilson,” observed Johnson, “ I can tell you that he is mortally offended.” “ Offended ? and with me !” exclaim ed Mpy in surprise. “ l?es,” returned Jolmson. “ He ob served the manner and looks of Lieu tenant Howard, and they aroused Ms jealousy.” ’ '“^Ah 1” ejneuMted rjAry, for neyer, untfl that momear, suspected rtroggles-witb-poyer^-^rari economy that the feelings with which Paul Wil- which is consistent with happiness, and Well, Miss Mary,” said Toby, com ing out o f the parlor, followed by Black Johnson, “ have you got the good ship Pkul in tow at last ?.—brought him I followed Mr. Johnson’s advice,” replied the^young*girl,.“ but Paul would not agree to it.?i* “ No,”*observed the boatswain. “ He Waftuld not -wish you to sep that he is jealous, perhaps*; but still h e w ishes you to go with him—forJie told the so himself.

[ conclusion in our n e x t .] LIVE w it h in YOUa ij^EASS. We do like stinginess. -We don’t like “ economy,” when it comes down to rags and starvation, we have no sympathy -with the notion that the poor man should Mtch himself to a post aud Stand still, wnile the rest of-the world moves forward. It is no-man’s duty to make an iceberg of himself-~to shut his eyes and .ears to the sufferings o f his fellows—and to deny himself the enjoyment that results from generous actions—merely that ha may hoard wealth for. his heirs to quarrel about. But there is yet an economy; wbich is every man’s duty, and which is es- maa who son regarded her were other than those of a brother. “ Toby, you have often given me good advice; what ought I to do to prove Paul that J am’ not ungrate ful for all Ms kfndnes towards me ?” “ You see, miss,” returned the honest seaman, after a moment’s pause. I am only a plain sailor, and never does any thing but obey orders ; but here is Mas ter Johnson, as is used to direct people, and I dare s a y he can advise you.” “ Well, if the lass will take the ad vice o f on e w h o has a regard for her,” observed E k e k Johnson, w ithout look ing at Mary, “ she will follow Lieuten* ant aboard th e E a v e a , and accom p a n y him to sea .” “ Accompany him to sea ?” exclaim ed Mary. “ Yes,” returned Johnson, now rais ing his keen eyes to her countenance. “ What do you fear ? Yrm have al ways been under Ms guardianship, and you would be as safe aboard the Raven as here.” Mary hesitated; she was anxious to prove to Paul that she was not ungrate ful, was desirous, too, o f contributing to his happiness, and yet she could not approve the step recommended by the. biack-browed boatswain. She left the room m u sing upon w h a t B lack Johnson had said, and her eyes being bent upon the floor, she found herself in Paul Wil son’s presence before she was aware. “ I h a v e com e to bid you farew e ll, M a r y ,” said he. “ I am going on a^ong voyage—'to India.” T * “ May honor and success a t t e p d y o u , Paul,” said she. “ You will leave\ be hind you many anxious hearts-” “ My mother’s healthy-too, is declin ing fast,” rejoined Paul, When I am away, you are her onlycoffifort; watch oveiuher then, and make her happiness your care.” “ I will, Paul,!’ said Mary, taking Ms hand, “ you do not doubt my affection for her?” ■ “ B e lieve m e , M ary,” replied Pa.nl, I love you much too well. But hear further; the chance of war to all is most uncertain, and should I fall-—” “ I cannot bear this doubt,’,’ Exclaim ed Mary, interrupting. “ I feel that,! Must s^ak, in spite of all the conven tionalities o f a cold and hollow world. Listen Paul; and though you may think me bold, you shall not find me false. You doubt my regard—^as if I could forget the p a st! I have been told that you would have my hand j i f this he true take jt—it is yours !” . “ Do I dream, or do my ears deceive me I” exclaimed the equally surprised and delighted Paul. * ^ “ You were the savior of my life,” continued Mary. “ Of all' your wishes I should be the slave; oUe w'ord—one which must be practtced, if the poor man would secure independence. It is almost every man’s'privilege, and it becomes Ms duty, to live within his means, not up to, but within them. Wealffi does not make the man, we admit, and should never, be taken into the account in oar judgment o f men.-^ But competence should always be se cured when it can be, by the practice of economy and self-denial to only a tolerable extent. It should be secured n o t so m u ch for othiers to look a t , or raise us in the estimation of others, as to secure the consciousness o f indepen dence and the constant satisfaction which is derived from its acquirement and possession. We would like to impress tMs single fact upon the mind of every laboring man who may peruse this short article —that it is impossible for Mm to rise aboke'poverty'; and that tfie path to in depence, though beset with toils knd self-saprifice is much, pleasanter to the traveler, than any one can enter upon. The man who feels that he is earning something more than he is spending, will walk, the streets withanluch hghter heart* aud enter hia home with a.much more. cheerful countenance,- than he who spends as he gOcS or falls gradual ly behind Ms necessities, in acquiring the means of .meeting them. Next to- tbe slavery .of intemperance, there is no slavery on earth more galling than that of poverty and indebtedness. The man who is Cverybodyts debtor, is every body’s\ slave, and in a m u ch wors,e c o n dition than he Who serves a single mas ter, . ■ For fbe sake of the present,, then, as well as for the sake of the future, we would most earnestly urge upoa every working man to live within his means.
