Cuming, and John Laugharne, successive flag-ship at Newfoundland of Vice-Admirals Sir Erasmus Gower and John Holloway. In Dec. 1807, upwards of 18 months after he had attained the rating of Midshipman, he removed to the Confiance 22, commanded by the late Sir Jas. Lucas Yeo, in which vessel he first visited Lisbon, and then proceeded to the coast of Brazil. At the reduction of Cayenne, in Jan. 1809, he was intrusted with the charge of a gun-boat, and for his services was presented, in common with the other Midshipmen of the Confiance, with a sword and medal by the Prince Regent of Portugal. Being paid off in the early part of 1810, he next, in Oct. of that year, joined the Salvador del Mundo, bearing the flag of Sir Robt. Calder at Plymouth, and very soon afterwards the Sceptre 74, Capt. Sam. Jas. Ballard, employed off Brest. Transferred by Admiralty order, at the commencement of 1811, to the Southampton, of 38 guns and 212 men, commanded by his former Captain, Yeo, he sailed forthwith for the Jamaica station, and, on 3 Feb. 1812, assisted at the capture of the Haytian frigate Amethyste, of 44 guns and 700 men, at the close of a sharp conflict, in which the enemy sustained a loss of 105 men killed and 120 wounded, and the British of only 1 man killed and 10, including himself, wounded. On 23 of the same month Mr. Moore passed his examination. In the following Aug. an attack of yellow fever rendered it necessary for him to be sent to the hospital at Port Royal, on being discharged from which he was successively placed, as a Supernumerary, on board the Garland 20, Capt. Rich. Plummer Davies, and Shark sloop, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Chas. Stirling. He returned home with Capt. Yeo, in Feb. 1813, in the Brazen 18, Capt. Jas. Stirling, but, from the state of his health, was not able to seek further employment until the ensuing Aug., about which period he became attached, as Supernumerary-Mate, on promotion, to the Medway 74, and Prince 98, flagships of Sir Rich. Bickerton at Spithead. Proceeding in a few weeks to the Cape of Good Hope in the Laurel 38, Capt. Hon. Granville Leveson Proby, he there, in the month of Dec, rejoined the Medway, of which ship, bearing the flag of Sir Chas. Tyler, he was created a Lieutenant 12 July, 1814. He returned to England and was paid off in April, 1816; and was lastly, from 23 Oct. 1817 until Sept. 1818, employed on the coast of Africa in the Semiramis 42, bearing the broad pendant of his friend.

# A Fragment (Brontë)

Maiden, thou wert thoughtless once Of beauty or of grace, Simple and homely in attire Careless of form and face. Then whence this change, and why so oft Dost smooth thy hazel hair? And wherefore deck thy youthful form With such unwearied care? 'Tell us ­- and cease to tire our ears With yonder hackneyed strain ­- Why wilt thou play those simple tunes So often o'er again?' 'Nay, gentle friends, I can but say That childhood's thoughts are gone. Each year its own new feelings brings And years move swiftly on,
And for these little simple airs, I love to play them o'er ­- So much I dare not promise now To play them never more.' I answered and it was enough; They turned them to depart; They could not read my secret thoughts Nor see my throbbing heart.
I've noticed many a youthful form Upon whose changeful face The inmost workings of the soul The gazer's eye might trace. The speaking eye, the changing lip, The ready blushing cheek, The smiling or beclouded brow Their different feelings speak.
But, thank God! you might gaze on mine For hours and never know The secret changes of my soul From joy to bitter woe. Last night, as we sat round the fire Conversing merrily, We heard without approaching steps Of one well known to me.
There was no trembling in my voice, No blush upon my cheek, No lustrous sparkle in my eyes, Of hope or joy to speak; But O my spirit burned within, My heart beat thick and fast. He came not nigh ­- he went away And then my joy was past.
And yet my comrades marked it not, My voice was still the same; They saw me smile, and o'er my face ­- No signs of sadness came; They little knew my hidden thoughts And they will never know The anguish of my drooping heart, The bitter aching woe!
