Where everlasting summer reigns,
Where all that's beautiful and grand
Breathes from her mountains Wad het plains;
Where )held seas, In brightness deep,
Around hsr,g4dent of the deep ;
Her Rao Irks—for ever fajr,

foto Phis melancholy spectacle, a scene presented it-
self. thael cannot refrain from giving you. A group of
urchin the oldest not 12 years old, while the seamen,
the fathers of some of them, were putting off in boats
to assist-the vessels which were riding in the Roads,
these heroes in entbryo.ran to the fort with a rope of
consideiable lengths and in an instant one of them,
as ifAry instinct, fastened one end round his body,
whilelsis comrades fastened the other to a sailor post,
and 'immediately lowered himself down the preci-
pice cif at least 100 feet, shouting with dauntless in-
trepidity all the way he descended. Had any of the
ill-fated mariners been there, they would, beyond
doubt, have been rescued from a watery grave; as it
was, they succeeded in raising about as much broken
plank as would fetch a shilling for fire-wood, and
away they ran huzzaing, with as much seeming pride
as if by their enterprise they had saved an empire.
