MISCELLANY.
FROM THE CHRONICLE.
THE IMPRESSED SAILOR.

HIeH on cliff the maniac stood,
And watch'd old Oceans waving food
Beneath her feet, The briny wave
CurPd Ger the smpwreck'd sailors grave !;
Loose on the gale, her tresses way'd,
Dark roll'd her eye, while thus she rav'd--
Where yon white curling billow,
With wild commotlon sweeps,
Deep on his rocky pillow,
My much lov'd sailor sleeps
All dark and lonely in his ocean bed;
Ger lis grave
No flower shall wave,
No plying friend shall weep
Where shall the trav'ler point and say
There rests the gallant sailors clay
Poor sailor boy, thy grave is cold and deep
Winie tempest howl
And pillows roll
And burst above thy head.
Hard is my sailors rocky pillow,
Chill Der IT'S sumbcr. bursts the billow,
Quick let me seek his ooly grave,
And in some sea-rnaid's pcaily cave
SJitinake his bed
I'll pluck the f.irest, sweetest how'rs
That bloom in Neptune's coral bow'rs,
To deck his head -
Cboicely Iii plat The sea green vest
TO mantle DER his faithful breast,
For colds his sleer:
Without STROUD the demons gave
ny sailor to his ocean grave.
That grave so deep
Their FlOod-stand banners proudly play
Triumphant DER his sleeping clay"
The maniac cess'd-the storm of night
How'd DER the dark and awful height,
The lightning burst around her head
Quick TO the utmost verge she sped
And look'd bclow-i need no more
Fer morn tie tempest ceas'd TO roar,
Bright rose the sim, his earliest ray
Srin'd on tic maniac's liicless clay
Tier form the fisherman deserted,
Half buried in The sand
lie saY'd it from the whelmins tide,
