not. so, you would not, if you are discontented now. And _vour brother loves you so dearly. I cannot think, how you can ﬁnd it in your heart to envy him. ’

" I do though, Kitty. I envy him his fortune gnd ltis rank; but that is not what I envy him most. Ienvy him because everybody loves him Why, even you love him more than you love in

e. “Don’t you know what good reason I have to love him I" returned Kitty, ﬁrmly, but with some little embarrassment. "I have often told yotl what a friend he has been to me all my life long.” “ Yes, I know that you don't love him, because he is rich, and will be called Sir Francis. 0. I wish he had been cross and ugly, for then you could not have loved him.” “ 0, dear Fdtvard, think how wrong it is to be vexed that your brother is loved." ‘ “ ell, it's not exactly that. I don’: want people not to like Frank, for I know he's I spleii- did fellow; but] do wish somebody would love me better than him or anybody or anything else in the wliolo world."

" You know your mother does; and for her asks, you should try to be contented and happy.”

“ Well, I am very happy, ifthe days were not so coiitoundedly long and everything so stupid. Do you know, I did sninethiiig this morning. I am sure you will say it was very wrong—-I felt

‘it was wrong myself. I didn't mean to do it, but somehow! couldn’t stop. I told mother, I wished I was Frank. She did look so vexed- there came a strange ﬁerceness into her face. Don't you think she is very handsome, Kitty 1”

“ Yes, especially when she smiles.”

“ No. when she frowns: it's my treasure of a Kate that looks lovely when she smiles. Mother looks magniﬁcent when she's ﬁerce. I feel a sort ofcreeping ot'tlie tlcsh and burning at the heart when she looks like that. Is it wrong to like to see er sol"

“ It must be wrong," replied Kitty, gravely. “ She cannot look so unless she feels unhappy ; besides, I do not think it reverent in you to speculate on your mother’s looks, and to put your own interpretation on a passing expression."

“ Do not look so sorry, Kate—-l caii’t bear to see you. I know I am very wicked, but you must not hate me. I try to pray, indeedl do, and I will yet more. Is it not strange,” he added presently, in a lower tone-—“ is it not very strange that I never like to make you look sorry; but when I vex mother, the blood leaps in my veins, and I feel as if] couldn't stop, it makes me feel so near to her. Look at my forehead : don't you see I am getting a frown like mother's! l frown so at night sometimes that it wakes me out ofiiiy sleep. ldream of nothing but battles and ﬁght- ing. Dear Kitty, do you think I could ever go to Heaven‘!’’

“ Remember who gave His precious life a ransom for sinners, Edward! Remember Him who loves you, and who is touched with a feeling for your inﬁrmities."

“ Sometimes." said the boy, looking out of the window, and speaking in a soft, dreamy tone—— “ sometimes all that is written in the Testament seems so true. that I feel strong for anything; but then, all in a moment, away it goes, and the old had thoughts come back. I suppose, Kitty, it is the Devil taking away the Word out of my heart."

Thus, in the dark November day. they talked together.

GLEAIIIGS PRO! LATE PAPERS.

In the last number of the Colonial we copied an account of the sailing of the expedition for Kertch some time since, and the loud dissatis- fitction expressed at its unexpected and abrupt meal by General Caiirobert. The last papers received mentioned that it was again to sail, and from the above despatch it appears it has bravely uccouiplislied the im ortant service it was expected to perform. e uppcnd some further interrsting details of Kertch, from it late English puper :-

At the entrance in the peninsula of Kertch are still to be seen the remains of it ruiiie wull und ditch, running across the isthmus from north to south, which tire supposed to have served as a. defence to the iincientkiiig- doin of the Bus horns.

_ On itpprouoliing Kertch one is struck by the immense number of tumuli, similar to those met with all over the steppe, and which. from their appearance and form, are considered to be of the saute origin. Every year search is made in one or more of those tuinuli; and many vuscs. coins, and golden ornaments, dis- tinguished for elegance of form and beauty of workmanship, have been disinterred. Statues have also been found in these ttiutuli. sculptur- ed in the purest white marble, an in ii. style worthy of the best days of (irccian urt. Many of those now ornuiiicnt the Museum of St. Petersburg, while others are allowed to be re- tained in the Museum tit Kertch, near where thpy lay so long concealed.

ertch, which, thirty years ago, was 8 mi- sertable village, has of late yeuas become ti. hundsoiiio town, whose importance is rapidly increasing, and whose inhabitants amount now I to about seven thousand. The streets are wide, and well paved; and the handsome houses, arcades, and pillared ediﬁces, built of o. beautiful white stone (of which there are se- veral quarries in the neighbourhood), give it quite an imposing appearance. The Gover- nor's house, the Custom-house, and several large magazines, are built on the quay, which terminates in the walls of the Lazarotte, at the entrance to the straits of Yenikali.

Unfortunately, the water is so shallow tit Kcrtcli, that vessels cannot approach the quay, but require to anchor at t]. considerable dis- tance; nevertheless, merchants ﬁnd it more proﬁtable to loud their vessel at this port than to risk the shallow water and frequent winds of the Sea. of Azotl. Extensive ﬁsheries have been established all along the coast, at which rntiltitudcs of stnrgeons und herrings itro taken. From the roe of the former cuvitire, is made in great quantities; the latter are taken into the interior of the country, or else salted.

Ever ear commerce is increasing: ric merchants are establishing themselves there; and everything leads one to suppose that, ere ong, Kertch will become it large commercial and tlourisling city.

Tu: Etiitorsarr Nrws.—We httve postponed some editorial matter, to make room for the‘ News received by the Steamer, yesterday. which i willbefound to conﬁrm the telegritphit: dos-' patches published by us last week. We issue’ one-hitlf of our paper early, to put our friends: from the country in possession of the latest‘ news.

The Ilalifax Sun says, an authority of a passenger by the Asia, that a message by tele- L'raph announced. just as the packet was leaving. that Perekop had been taken by the Allies.

The Steamer Rosebud, employed by the Tele- graph Cotiipany to relay the Cable between Capes Traverse and Tormeiitine, has we under- stand, accomplished the task successfully. We trust that till the other necessary arrangements for keeping up ii. telegraphic communication with Ilulifnx, Boston, New York, &c., will speedily follow.

NEW WORK, nr THE AUTHOR or "SAIII sucit.”

“Nature and Human Naluie,” by the Author of “Sam Slick, the Clocktiiaker," "' Wise Saws,” “Old Judge," &c.,

Had this been the ﬁrst of IInliburton‘s writings, we are doubtful whether his nnniu would have attained the celebrity which the publication of Sam Slick has justly procured for it, and there are some things in it. which, however they might tend to make it reputation for an inferior writer, tend rather to lower than clcvnle the fame ofn man as celebrated. The book consists of a series of stories,jests and once- dotes, some good, some middling, and more, neither one thing nor the other, but ptit in to fill up the book, The whole is broad caricature, and ii little too extra- vagant, its is (what heliiinself teriiis,) “the following whiriisicnl story."

“ When the ‘ Black llitwk’ was at Ca.uscau._ we happened to have it queer, original sort of man, :1 Nova. Scotiii. doctor on boat-d, who joined otir party tit Ship llarbor, for thc_purposc of taking ll. cruise with us. Not ziving any- thing nbove particular to do, we lcft the Vessel

“ ‘ What in the world do you want of only four of those knees 1‘ said the Doctor.

" ' Nothing,’ said I, * but to raise it lau h on these critters, and make them pity real and- some for the 'oke.’

“ Well, every busliwhacker and forest-rash ger in the island thought he knew [where to

rid four enormous ones, and that he would go and get them, and say nothing to nobody, and all that morning ﬁxed for the delivery, they kept coming into the shipping place with them. Peo lc couldn't think wliiit under the light of the iving sun was going on, for it seemed as if every team in the province was at work, and all the cotintrymen were runnin mud on ' Perhaps no livin’ soul ever see such a beautiful collection of ship-timber nfore, and am sure never will again in u crow's age. The way these ‘old oysters’ (it nick-name! gave the islanders, on uccoiﬁit of their ever- astin’ beds of this shell-tisli,) opened their mugs and guped, was a caution to dying ca ves.

“ At the time appointed, there were eight hundred sticks on the ground, the very best in the colony. Well, I went very gravely round and selected the four largest, and paid fpr tliein cash clown on the nail, according to con- tract. The goneys seed their ﬁx, but didn't know how they got into it. They didn’t think hard of me, for I advertised for four sticks onl , and I gave a very high price for them; but they did think is little mean of themselves, tliu.t‘s it fact, for each man had but four pieces, and the were too ridiculous large for the mundane’ small vessels built on the island. They scratched their heads in is way that was harrowing, even in u stubble-ﬁeld.

“‘My gracious,’ sais I, ‘ huckmetiicks, it seems to me, is as thick in this country as blackberries in the Full, after the robins have left to to slee for the winter. Who on eiirtli would have thought there was so many here? Oh, children of Israel! Whitt ii lot there is, nint there? Why, the father of this island couldn't hold them it .’

“‘ Father of this island,’ sais they, ‘who is he?’

“‘ Why,’ suis I, ‘aint this Prince Ed- we.rd's?’

“ ‘ Why, yes,‘ suis they, looking still more puzzled.

“ ‘ Well,’ suis I, ‘ in the middle of Halifax harbor is King George's Island, and that must be the father of this.’ ,

“Well if they could see any wit in that speech, it is more than I could, to save my soul alive; but it is the easiest thing in the world to set ti. crowd oil‘ a. tee-heeing. They cun’t holy it, for it is electrical. Go to the circus now, and you will hear is stupid joke of the clown; well, you are determined you won’t laugh, but somehow you can't help it, no how you can ﬁx it, although you nre mad with yourself for doin so, atid you just roar out and are as big it foo as all the rest.

“Well it made them laugh and that was enough for me.

“ Siiis I, ‘ the worst of it is, gentlemen, they are all so shocking large, and as there is no small ones among them, they can’t be divided into lots, still,o.s you seem to be disnppointed,I will make you an other for them, cash down, all hai-d gold.’ So I gave tlieiu ti. bid at a. ver low ﬁgure, say halt’ nothing, ‘and’ suits I, ‘ advise you not to take it, they are worth much inoro, if a. man only knows whnttodo with chain. Some of your traders, I make no man- ner of doubt, will give you twice as much, if

on will only take your pay in goods, at four times their value, and perhaps they mightent like your selling them to a stronger, for they are all responsible government-mcn, itndact accordin’ ‘ to the well undestood wishes of the people.’ I shall sail in two hours. and you can let me know , but mind, I can onl buy all or none, for I shall have to hire it vesso to car them. After all,’ siiis I, ' perhaps we he better not trade, for,’ taking out __o handful of sovereigns from my pocket, and yingling tb_ein, ‘ there is no two ways about it; these little fellows are easier to carry by it long chalk than them great lnmiiiokin’ huckmetucks. Good bye, gentlemen.’

“ Well, one of the critters, who was as awk- ward us nwrong boot, soon calls out, ‘ whough,

9 to me, so I turns and sais ‘ well, “ old hoss,”

and took assago in it coaster for Prince Ed- ward's Is and, its my commission required me: to spend it day or two there, nnd inquire about, the fisheries. Well, although I don't triidc now, lspekelate sometimes when I see it right‘. smitrt chance, and ospeciiilly if there is fun Illl the triiiisaction. So, sais I, ‘Doctor, I will play possum with these folks, rtnd take is risel out of tlieiu, that will nstonish their wcitkl nerves, I know, tvliile I put scvcriil liiindrctl

doing wcll, and there was every prospect of a I

dollars in in pocket at the same time.’ So Ii utlvertised tiut I would give fotir pounds tc_n shillings for the largest llockiuetuck kncoini the island, four pounds for the second. three‘ pounds ten shillings for the third, and three

ounds for the fourth biggest one. I supsostft. Equm, you know what it ship's knee is, on t you! It is is crooked iece oftimbcr, exactly the shape of a man’s eg when kneolin . It forms two sides of a square, and ma as a

what do you want 7’ At which they laughed louder than before.

" Sais he, ‘ we have concluded to take your otliir.‘

H * Well,‘ sais I, ‘ there is no back-out in me, here is your money, the knees is n_iine.’_ ‘ I shipped them, and had the satisfaction to oblige them, and put two hundred iiud_ﬁf pounds in my pocket. 'l‘lierc are three things, Squire, , slnikc. Second. A fair proﬁt; and Third, a fair share of fun.”

\Ve rather think had Sam Slick ever been in Prince Edward Island, he would have found that it would liavs been rather ditlicnlt to have taken a rise out of these “ old oysters" in that way. He might have found too, that the largest llackmsttick kneel would not have been one inch too large for “tho thundering small vessels we build here."
