miscellancous. From the Amaranth. BURNING LETTERS. BY MISS HANNAH F. GOULD.

Fire, my hand is on the key, And the cabinet must ope! I shall now consign to thee Things of grief--of joy and hope: Treasured secrets of the heart To thy care I thence entrust; Not a word must thou impart, But reduce them all to dust!

This was friendship's cherish'd pledgeFriendship took a colder form; Creeping on its gilded edge, May the blaze be live and warm! These- -The letter and the token, Nover more must ineet my view; When the faith has once been broken, Let the memory perish too! Here comes up the blotted leaf, Blister'd o'er by many a tear! Hence! thou waking shade of grief! Go, forever, disappear! This was penned while purest joy Warmed the breast and lift the oye: Fate that peace did soon destroy And its transcript so must This must go! for on the seal, When I saw the solemn yew, Keener was the pang of steel'Twas a he snapt in two! This-'tis his who seem'd to be High as heaven, and true as light; But the visor rose; and heSpare, mercy! spare the sight Of the face that frowned beneathWhile I take it, hand and name, And entwine it with a wreath Of the purifying flame! These--the hand is in the grave And the soul is in the skies, Whence they came! 'tis plain to save Cold remains of sundered ties! Go together, all, and burn, Once the treasures of my heart! Still my breast would be an urn To preserve your better part. Love and Reason. "My dear fellow, I have now accompanied you in your gallop of three days, for travelling it cannot be called, and you have not exchanged a dozen words with me, except your very kind and polite variations to the tune, 'Begone, you trouble "The speaker was a fine looking, middle aged man, with a broad, Plato-like forehead, a dark, benevolent, lustrous eye, whose fire had evidently been tamed by and reflection, but still there was years somewhat in it which told of strong but conquered passions. 'The youth whom he addressed was leaning moodily on the table, with his face buried in his hands.

He raised it when his companion addressed him. No one would have thought of calling it handsome, but there was intellectuality in his pale countenance and intelligent eye. When seen, they were not a face and eye to be forgotten. "It is very kindly meant, no doubt," said he, "but surely you know enough of man's nature to be aware, that after such a shock as I have received, solitude is the best comforter." know no such thing," rejoined the senior, "and besides, let us look cooly at the cause of this sorrow which has made sich a child of you. hair A wreathing pretty blue-eyed round a girl with auburn polished forehead, whose outward beauty has a poor contrast to the sense within, has thought fit to marry another Inan.

The more fool she, and the greater fool you, to grieve for it. Why man there are plenty blue-eyed girls in the world." "Uncle," rejoined the youth, "you may have reasoned more and thought more than I have, but you have never felt as now six years since I left my native land, and wherefore did I leave it her sake. I was poor, and would not have plunged the woman I loved into misery. have toiled and struggled beneath a burnpestilential sky: have taken all ing, honorable means of acquiring wealth 1 have labored like a slave I have been sneered at, for rapacity and avarice: bitter, bitter, to me were the means of acquiring that wealth, for it forced me to associate with men of grovelling minds, to speak in their language, to do as they did, till by heaven! I was almost as mean and contemptible as they. I returned with my hard earned wealth- -you know the rest.

I saw her married, did I betray my emotion did I not look calmly on bitterly he laughed. said his uncle, "you have charged me with want of feeling. Boy, I could will, tell you a tale, and thence aye, you may judge if I am fit to be your adviser." Tears stood in his eyes, but they fell not, for he was a inan who, if he could not control his feelings, had the power of preventing their display--he continued "You may remember, for I have often told you so to cheer you, that my early days were days of poverty and difficulty. I had scarcely kness left college misfortune when in my trade parents were fro: si and reduced alinost to beggary. It was to put daily bread into their mouths, and those of little sisters and brother, that I my poor undertook private tuition, the only thing for which my desultory mode of study had fitted me.

Many a headache I had, from the tiresome task of drilling the dull lesson into the head of stupidity or obstinaand many a heartache, from the sucy, perciliousness of an unfeeling wealthy employer, or from the often tacitly encouraged pertuess of the pupil. Often have I cursed my fate, when the clock struck the warning hour, which called me from the perusal of some delightful volume to my weary daily drudgery. There was one pupil, however, the time of whose lesson was frequently anticipated. soft, hazel She was a fair with a mild, eye, which, g'ri, however, frequently gleamed brightly and mirthfully. She was a mere child, with child's whims and fancies: but she all a only capricious in trifles; in the utwas wildness of girlish mirth, she would most have shuddered to utter a word which might hurt the meanest menial's feelings: her heart was all kindness and her soul all guileless purity.

There was one thing also which won my heart she would inquire after my sick parents' health, in a soft, sweet, pitying tone which made the tears start in my eyes: she was 1 the only one who did so, and I loved her for it. I often caught myself gazing on her intensely as she bent over her book, and when she raised her eyes from it and observed this, she would blush deeply, and ask some needless questions about the lesson, in the prettiest most confused manner possible. Wherefore should dwell upon these thoughts? I loved her, and I thought she loved me. We sometimes read poetry together, out of the same volume, and 1 would fondly fancy there was something peculiar in her manner, when any passage might possibly be applied to ourselves.And who would not have thought so, if he had heard those feeling, tremulous tones, and felt the warm sigh flutter over his face or had his bead entangled i in a pretty girl's curls, from sitting too close to her while she was reading love poetry. This was too much for flesh and blood, and one evening our lips clung into a kiss.

"Pretty doings--walk out of my house -walk to your room madam! shall not you, sir, for my daughter's sake, expose but never let me see you again." "Twas mamma. "Now, my dear Harry, was I not 111 the right to suppose this girl loved me "Yes, uncle, yes," said Harry, impatiently, "go on." "You remember the good luck wich happened to me about this time. I became clerk in the counting house of one of the most whimsical old fellows in the word.Promptitude was his motto; he was 118 absolute as Napoleon. The moment he decided upon thing, it was done. He came to me one day, and said, in his usual brief surly manner, "Say, youngster, what time will you take to get ready to go as supercargo to India; one of my clerks asks ten and another eight days, how long do you ask I knew the humor of the old fellow, and replied, "I am ready now, sir." He grinned grimly, and said, "you shall go." I went, remained four years, and by trading, secured a competence, and returned home full of the thoughts of my quondam pupil, her lessons, the love poetry and mamma.

I was now hailed as equal, by those who had scorned me. The vulgar rich bowed down to me; but this was no consolation to my wounded spirit, for she was married. At first my grief and indignation were violent as yours, but at last, for the sake of appearances, I overcame them, and even visited at her house. One day we were left alone together. My heart beat dreadfully my tongue clove to my mouth, but she was totally unconcerned- -quite cool.

"the "Do last you time remember," saw each said other she before laughing, you we left for India?" I was struck dumb with astonishment. "You must know," continued she, used to pity you very much, and I do think you were half in love with me--confess now." This was said in such a languishing manner, it cooled my love instantly. Many men would have thought this a challenge, but 'twas not so." "Oh uncle, uncle," said Harry, "your case is not like mine; that admitted of consolation, mine does not." Six months afterwards Harry was married; and is now the best humored, most contented man that ever had a wife and six children to try his patience. THE THAW SPIRIT. the "Year, with other Poems," by the Author of the "Fall of the Indians." I have freed the stream from its icy chain, -And it goes rejoicing on to the main, Like a traveller singing along the plain.

I have set the captive cataract free, -It lifts on the hill the cry of glee, And is marching away to the distant sea. 1 have broken the sleep of the frozen lake, -I hare warmed its veins--it is broad awake; Rejoicing death's slumbers away to shake. I have free'd the sea from its iron thrall; I have loosened the icicles from the wall, Like a beam of light from the eaves they fall. See how the rescued waters run! Leaping and dancing in the sun, They -their freedom is once more won. I have broken the grotto's crystal pile; Lucid column, and radiant aisle, And have poured in their depths the sunbeam's smile.

Philosophers tell us that the motion of the earth is equal to seventeen miles in a second so that if a man doff's his bonnet to a friend, in the street, the goes seventeen miles bare-headed, without catching cold. Five weeks experience has induced certain people doubt the assertion. They tell us also, that the earth is two millions of aniles nearer the sun in winter than in suminer. It may be true, but if so, it is believed that the sun must be heated with oak and hickory in the summer, and anthracite the winter.

From Le National, a Paris paper. There lives in Eugland a man whose daily labors last 20 hours out of the 24, who presides in the House of Lords and in a Court of Justice, who attends at the Council, who gives audience each day to Barristers belonging to both kingdoms, and still finds time to write articles on politics and jurisprudence in the Edinburgh Review, besides elementary works, which are distributed gratis throughout the kingdom, and who is the Director of at least ten associations for the diffusion knowledge among the working classes.We need hardly add the person herein alluded to is no other than Lord BROUGHHAM. We watch'd her breathing through the night, Her breathing soft and low, As in her breath the wave of life, Kept heaving to and fro! So silently we seemed to speakSo slowly moved about! As we had lent her half our powers To eke her living out! Our very hopes believed our fears Our fear our hopes beliedWe thought her dying when she slept, And sleeping when she died; For when the morn came dim and sadAnd chill with early showers, Her quiet eyelids closed -she had Another morn than ours! THE DEATH BED. BY T. HOOD.

Jack eating rotten cheese, did say, Like Samson, I my thousands slay I vow, quoth Roger, so you do, And with the self-same weapon too. A hum'rous fellow iu a tavern late, Being drunk and valiant gets a broken pate The surgeon, with his instruments and skill, Searches his skull deeper and deeper still; To feel his brains, and try if they were sound; And as he keeps ado about the wound, The fellow cries--Good surgeon spare your pains, When I began this brawl I had no brains.

From the Banner of the Constitution. Stephen Girard. Mr. Girard was a native of Bordeaux, but came to this country about fifty years ago. He commenced mercantile business in Philadelphia with a very small capital, which he had saved from his earnings as a master of a vessel.

His habits of living were the most economical; and by the time the period had arrived, at which our neutral position gave the shipping of the United States superior advantages in commerce, he had accumulated a suficiency to enter the field as a ship owner. Taking advantage then, of the occasion thus presented, he adopted the principle of good faith in his navigation operations, acted most truly the part of a neutral, and, to avoid incurring the risks which attached, in those belligerent days, to vessels suspected of carrying enemies' property under the American flag, refused to carry on board his ships property belonging to any body but himself. The rigid observance of this rule, acquired for him a high reputation amongst the officers of the British navy and it was a rare thing for a vessel belonging to Mr. Girard to be detained on the high seas. Whilst other merchants were interrupted in their voyages, and had their vessels captured, sent in for adjudication, and sometimes condemned, rightfully or wrongfully--the ships of Mr.

Girard sailed unmolested. He was not even in the habit of making insurance on his vessels and cargoes and, so great was his good fortune in this particular, that he very seldom in his long career lost a vessel. Soon after the expiration of the Charter ofthe old Bank of the United States, in 1811, Mr. Girard purchased their Banking House in Third street, and commenced the operation of a Banker. The capital which he placed in his banking establishment was understood to have been $1,200,000, which he not long afterwards vested in the hands of trustees, in order that, in case of his decease, no interruption should take place in the fulfilment of his engagements as a banker, and that no derangement in the affairs of the commercial community should result from a sudden withdrawal of his capital.

The management of the bank was, however, reserved to himself; and from its first formation to the period of his last illness, the discounts were entirely regulated by himself and his cashier. Of this capital, and of its accumulations, it is understood that not more than $300,000 have ever been withdrawn from the institution, and that at a late period, and when we state the fact, derived from a respectable source, that the total capital at this time is but $4,000,000, it will show that Mr. Girard's banking operations were always conducted within safe and prudent limits; for it is not known that he experienced many heavy losses. At compound interest of eight per cent. money doubles in nine years and two days and as Mr.

Girard commenced his bank in March, 1812, his capital should have been more than quadrupled, had his income clear of expenses been equal to eight per cent. per annum. But it must not be passed by in noticing the transactions of this first private banker in the United States, as well in regard to time as to the extent of capital, that Mr. Girard was a sound theorist upon questions of banking. He understood the matter instinctively.

He knew that Banks were only serviceable to a community, by enabling persons possessing capitals to anticipate them by getting their bills receivable discounted, and not by lending capitals and, hence, he set his face, from the coInmencement, against lending money upon permanent accommodation notes, and confined himself so exclusively to the distribution of real paper, that he was often enabled to lend money, whilst other banks were calling in. At the time of the suspension of specie payments, which commenced in August, 1814, and continued to January 1817, Mr. Girard foresaw that the public might not have the same spirit of forbearance towards a private individual banker, as they would towards a corporation, and he accordingly took legal advice on the subject, which led him to withdraw his notes, and to make loans and accept deposits payable only in the notes of the incoporated banks. Had he not done this, the probability is, that all who had claims upon him in the form of deposits, would have drawn out their funds in coin; and he would not only have been driven down, in his discounts to the amount of his capof ital, but would not have been able to get payment from those who had borrowed his coin, in any other money than the depreciated paper of the incorporated banks. During the whole period of his banking operations, Mr.

Girard carried on foreign commerce more or less. His operations were generally directed to long or circuitous voyages. His trade to China, the East Indies, and other countries east of the Cape of Good Hope, was at one time very extensive, as was also his trade to the north of Europe. Several foreign voyages were sometimes performed without the ship's returning home; and hence it may be seen, that the labors of the counting house were not so multiplied as those which are necessary to be performed with much less ital employed in short voyages. To this circumstance, added to very early rising, is to be ascribed the leisure which Mr.

Girard enjoyed, and which was devoted to the cultivation of a farm a few miles from the city, which he visited for years almost every day, and where, perhaps, he imbibed the golden sentiment which has been ascribed to him, and which shows that he did not consider that he lived alone for I thought I should die to-morrow, I would plant a tree to-day." Indeed he acted uniformly upon this principle; and we learn, having lately contracted for the building of a number of houses on the square of ground called by his name, situate between Market and Chesnut and Eleventh and Twelfth streets, he made provisions in his will for their being completed, in case he should not live to see it done. When we say that Mr. Girard was an economist, we do not mean to say it merely in a relative sense, but in a positive one. We recollect ourselves once calling at his counting house to see him on business, and were told by his clerk that he was then busily employed in the cellar, cutting up with his own hands his winter's pork, and could not be seen. He entertained no company, lived upon the most simple food plainly cooked, engaged in none of the scenes or indulgencies of social life; and being a widower for some years past, without children, his life was a solitary one.His chief happiness appeared to be employment.

He was never idle, but was, emphatically a Inan of business. He was rigid in his bargains---took care of his sixpences, knowing that the pounds would take care of themselves---and would, perhaps, hold out for the change of a cent as long as any poor man living. This was the result ofhis habits of early life, and was, in fact, a part of that system and method which he uniformly displayed, and which constituted him, the very individual he is no evidence that he loved money. He certainly did not accumulate property for any good it could do himself. He resembled more the Steward of some great proprietor, managing a very large estate for a very moderate compensation, than the proprietor himself.

He did not appear tocovet honors or fame, and was free from every display of ostentation.His dwelling house was under the same roof with his counting house, in a narrow street near the river, (Water street) and in a neighborhood occupied altogethor with stores. His equipage was an old chaise and a sober looking farm horse, and the furniture of his house was of the plainest sort. In personal appearance he was as plain as the plainest citizen and so entirely free was he from all pride of purse, that he looked more like a man worth a hundred dollars than eight millions. The economical style of life, known to every body as characterizing Mr. Girard, has induced some persons to entertain very erroneous views of the influence of his mode of living upon the welfare of the community.

You would hear people say, "It is a pity that Mr. Girard does not make a better use of his -he ought to live more affluently, and, by that incans give employment to tradesmen, and other poor people." It is very certain that Mr. Girard contributed very little to the support of livery servants, footmen, coachmen, pastry cooks, French restaurateurs, ice cream makers, dancing masters, musicians, playFactors, hair dressers, fancy shop keepers, jewellers, and many other callings, but his income was not on that account, less expended. His fancy was to set in motion the industry of ship builders, riggers and sail makers, seamen, stevidores and draymen, and of late years, that of carpenters, bricklayers, brick makers, masons, plasterers, painters, glaziers, marble masons, and all other mechanics employed by him in building houses. What portion of his capital and income he did not so expend, he lent to others, to be expended as they might see fit; and perhaps it may be said, that not a dollar of his immense wealth was suffered to lie idle.

So far from his mode of expenditure operating disadvantageously to the working classes, it has been, of all others, the one which was calculated to produce the greatest good to the comer, munity. No part of his income has been spent unproductively--for every dollar which has gone towards the support of industry, there is a dollar's worth, or something more, to show for it: which would not have been the case, had the course been pursued which so many people deem to be the most beneficial. Even the little he consumed himself, in his support, was but the wages of a hard working overseer, or manager, engaged in seeing the property entrusted to his stewardship applied to the most productive purposes." And cannot any one perceive that the superintendence of so frugal and industrious a steward, has been the means of accumulating an immense fund in the city of Philadelphia, which could never have existed, but owing to the cheapness with which SO large a capital was managed? The same suin divided into a hundred portions, could never have produced the same accumulation; and for this simple reason, that in its inanagement, a hundred individuals or families would have had to be supported, whereas in this case, only one individual was to be supported, and he too, very frugally. Had Mr. Girard been a miser who buried his wealth, had he hid his talent in a napkin, then, indeed, he would have been obnoxious to the imputation of an unfaithful steward.

But he did not so, he put his talent to the exchangers, where it accumulated for the benefit of the communi- ty, more than for that of himself; and, as far as the question of national wealth is concerned, he may be called a good and faithful servant. If these views are correct, Mr. Girard cannot but be regarded as a great public benefactor, nor can his death be considered other than as a great public loss. His property, it is true, is left behind him, but it can never hereafter be so productively and economically managed: and whilst the individuals or corporations who inherit it are gainers by his death, the community are -The aid which he has rendered to several works of Internal Improvement, by loans, and subscriptions to their stock, which invariably gave strength and confidence to the companies concerned in thom, would alone entitle him to the appellation we have bestowed upon him, and we trust that a monument to his memory may decorate some conspicuous spot in our city, as evidence of the public gratitude to one, who has done service to the country, and who has set so bright an example for the imitation of the poor and industrious. The preceding notice of Mr.

Girard was drawn up by the writer upon his own knowledge of the character of the inan. Before publication it was, however, submitted to a gentleman who possessed an intimate acquaintance with Mr. Girard's hab. its and mode of thinking, who, in confirmation of the general correctness of the article stated the following interesting particulars. For the last five years, Mr.

Girard confined himself altogether to a vegetable diet, abstaining entirely from animal food, in consequence of a liability to Erysypelas.He has told this gentleman, that his own individual subsistence did not cost more than twenty-cents a day. He never exhibited any concern about life, nor had he any fears of death. He used to say, that it man who would leave off business because he thought himself rich enough, had very erroneous views--that he attached no more importance to his wealth, than he did to his old shoes; but, so fully was he impressed with the idea that active employment was one of the greatest duties of life, that he said about a mouth ago, to our informant, "when death comes for me, he will find me busy, unless Tam asleep in bed." 'The remark, that he would plant a tree today, if he thought he would die to-morrow, was made to our informant to whom he also stated his age, as we have given it (in his 82d year. Domestic FROM THE FRUGAL HOUSEWIFE. Puddings.

BAKED INDIAN -Indian pudding is good baked. Scald a quart of milk (skimmed milk will do,) and stir in seven table spoonfuls of sifted Indian meal, a tea-spoonful of salt, a teacupful of molasses, and a great spoonful of ginger, or sifted cinnamon. Baked three or four hours. If you want whey, you must be sure and pour in a little cold milk, after it is all mixed. BOILED Indian pudding should boiled four or five hours.

Sifted Indian meal and warm milk should be stirred together pretty stiff. A little salt, and two or three great-spoonfuls of molasses, added a spoonful of ginger, if you like that spice. Boil it in a tight covered pan, or very thick cloth; if the water gets in, it will ruin it. Leave plenty of room; for Indian swells very much. The milk with which you mix it should be morely warm; if it be scalding, the pudding will break to pieces.

Some people chop sweet suet fine, and warm in the milk; others warm thin slices of sweet apple, to be stirred in the pudding. Water will answer instead of milk. FLOUR OR BATTER PUDDING. flour pudding, or batter pudding, is easily made. Those who live in the country can beat up five or six eggs with a quart of milk, and a little salt, with flour enough to make it just thick enough to pour without difficulty.

Those who live in the city, a and are obliged to buy eggs, can do with three eggs to a quart, and more flour in proportion. Boil about three quarters of an hour. BREAD nice pudding may be made of bits of bread. They should he crumbled and soaked in milk over night.In the morning, beat up three eggs with it, add a little salt, tie it up in a bag, or in a pan that will exclude every drop of. water, and boil it little more than an hour.

No puddings should be put into the pot, till the water boils. Bread in the same way makes good plum puddings. Milk enough to make it quite soft; four eggs; a little cinnamon; a spoonful of rose-wator lemon-brandy, if you have it; a teacupful of molasses, or sugar to your taste, if you prefer it; a few dry, clean raisins, sprinkled in, and stirred up thoroughly, is all that is necessary. It should bake or boil two hours. RENNET your husband brings home company when you are unprepared, rennet pudding may be had at five minutes' notice; provided you keep a piece of calf's rennet ready prepared soakin a bottle of wine.

One Glass of this wine to a quart of milk will make a sort of cold custard. Sweetened with white sugar, aud spiced with nutmeg, it is very good. It should be eaten immediately; in a few hours it begins to curdle. CUSTARD PUDDING -Custard pudding sufficiently good for common use can be made with five eggs to a quart of milk, sweetened with brown sugar, and spiced with cinnamon, or nutmeg, and very little salt. It is well to boil your milk, and set it away till it gets cold.

Boiling milk enriches it so much, that boiled skim-milk is about as good as new milk. A little cinnamon, or lemon peel, or peach leaves, if you do not dislike the taste, boiled in the milk, and afterwards strained from it give a pleasant flavor. Bake fifteen or twenty ininutes. RICE you want a common rice pudding to retain its flavor, do not soak it, or put it in to boil when the water is cold. Wash it, tie it in a bag, leave plenty of room for it to swell, throw it in when the water boils, and let it boil about an hour and a half.

The same sauce swers for all these kinds of puddings. If you have rice left cold, break it up in a little warm milk, pour custard over it, and bake it as long as you should custard. It makes very good puddings and pies. BIRD's NEST you wish to make what is called "bird's nest prepare your eight pleasant apples, pare them, and dig out the core, but leave them whole, set them in a pudding dish, pour your custard over them and bake them about thirty minutes.
