THE TRANSPORT.

The great eye of day was open, and the
joyful light filled the air, heaven, and ocean.
The marble clouds lay motionless, far and
wide over the deep blue sky, and all men,
ory of storm and hurricane had vanished
from the magnificence of that immense
calm There was but fluctuation on the
deep, and the sea-birds foated steadily
there, or dipped their wings for a mo-
ment in the wreathed foam, and again
wheeled sportively away in the sunshine.
One ship-one only sing lie ship-was with
in the encircling horizon, and she had lain
there as if at anchor since the morning
light; for although all her sails were set,
scarcely wandering breeze touched her
canvas, but her large flags hung head on
star and at peak, or lifted themselves I'M
certainly up at intervals, and then sunk in
to motionless repose. The crew paced
her deck, for they knew that no breeze
would come, till after meridian-and it was
the Sabbath day. A small congregation
were singing praises to God in that chapel
which rested almost as quietly on the sea
as the house of worship in which they had
been used to pray, then rested far off on a
foundation of rock, in green valley of
their forsaken Scotland They were emf
grants, nor hoped ever again to see the
mist of their native mountains. But as
they heard the voice of their psalm, each
singer half forgot that it blended with the
sound of the sea, and almost believed HIM
self sitting in the kirk of his own native
parish. But hundreds of billowy leagues
intervened between them and the little
tinkling bell that was now tollng their hap
pier friends to the house of God. And now
an old grey-headed man rose to pray, and
held up his withered hand in fervent sup
plication, for all around; whom, in good
truth, he called his children; for three gen.
erations were with the patriarch in that
tabernacle. There in one group, were
husbands and wives standing together, in
awe of Him who held the deep in the hol-
low of his hand; there, youths and maidens
linked together, by the feeling of the same
destiny, some of them perhaps hoping
when they reach the shore, to lay their
heads on one pillow; there children, hand
in hand, happy in the wonders of the ocean
and there, mere infants smiling on the sun
ny deck, and unconscious of the meaning
Of hymn or prayer. A low, confined

now distinctly heard, and as they neared us, the
laugh and joke went merrily around, and they
seemed delighted with the rude cavern, which to
so repeing and disgusting. "A fine place

LOVE OF JUSTICE.

In the town of Galway, in Ireland,
there is a very ancient stone house, over
the door of which is coarsey carved
Deaths head and cross-bones. The
circumstance which caused this emblem
is curious. About the time of Henry
VII. or perhaps earlier, the town was in
itself palatinate, and all the law pro-
ceedngs ran in the name Of the mayor,
who had also the power of fpardoning or
condemning criminals. John de Burgh,
then mayor, was very opulent mer-
chant, and traded largely especially with
Cadiz, in Spain. On some occasion he
sent over his onl ly son with cargo to
correspondent there, who received young
de Burg with the greatest hospitality;
and on his departure he sent with him
on visit his own sou, together with a
very large sum in specie, to purchase
merchandise. Tempted by the wealth,
the young de Burgh, with the assistance
of two or three of the crew, the vessel be-
ing his fathers, threw the young Spa
niard overheard, and OF his return seem
ed greatly distressed by the loss of his
friend, who he pretended had died al
sea of fever. For some time this sue
ceeded, but at length, on quarrel be-
tween two of the sailors concerned in
the murder, the whole business transpi-
red, the men were seized, and instantly
accused young De Burgh. The wretch
ed father was obliged to mount the tri-
bunal, to sit in judgment on his only
son, and with his own lips to pronounce
that sentence which at once left him
chldless, and blasted forever the honor
of an ancient and noble family. His
fellow-citizens, who revered his virtues
and pitied his misfortunes, saw with as
toniShment the forttude with which he
yielded to this cruel necessity, and heard
him doom his son to public and igno-
minious death on the following morning.
Their compassion for the father, their
affection for the man, every nobler feel
ing was aroused, and they privately de-
termined to rescue the young man from
prison that night, under the conviction
that DE Burgh, having already paid the
tribute due to justice and his honor,
would secretly rejoice at the preserva-
ton of the life of his son. But they lit
tie knew the heart of this noble magi-
Strate. BY some accident their determi-
nation reached his ear; he instantly re-
moved his son to his own house, and af-
ter partaking with him the office of the
holy communion, after giving and re-
ceiving mutual forgiveness, he caused
him to be hanged at his own door; a
dreadful monument Of theI vengeance of
heaven, and an immortal proof of JUS
tice that leaves every thing fthe kind
in story at an immeasurable distance.
The father Immediately resigned his
office, and after his death, which speedi-
ly followed that of his son, the citizens
fixed over the door of the house skull
and bones, which remain there to this
day.

On the deepening shadows grow;
Now, the Spirits of the night
Rush from mount and rush from dell
Guard us till the morning light,

Lookest down, a shining star
Where, along its rushing tide,
Comes the sailors hymn afar,
Virgin stoop thy gentle ear
To the song thy pilgrims swell
Listen, glory ofthe sphere,
Virgin bright Of Mariazell!
Queen, that when the soldier sleeps
In the forest damp and dim;
When the dew in poison weeps,
When in death the vapors swim;
Thou, that like lowering dove,
Cans. the deadly mists dispel;
Stoop to shield us, Queen Of Love,
Virgin sweet Of Mariazell!
Thou, that when the vintage dies,
ScorchiDg in the autumn Sun;
Bids the cooling brcezes rise,

From PHYS beaming eye can flow,
lis surely when deaths stroke severe
Has laid the son Of genius low;
Each ardent friend, each former foe,
His bier with precious dew-drops lave,
Add mirth assumes the garb of woe,
Aud weeps upon the minstrel's grave.
The trivial throng whose fickle praise,
lis strains sought vainly to engage,
Vow mourn too late his sighted lays,
Ana wet with tears his hallowed page;
The timid maid, the studious sage, E
Bcplore his fate whom none can save
And blooming youth, and hoary age,
Sigh sadly o er the minstrels grave.
His fondest pride, his magic Tyre,
Hung on the laurel must remain,
Aud none shall dare to wake its fire,
And none shall rouse its strings again;
Save when they breathe mourntul strain,
As passing winds the branches wave,
To tell the thoughtless and the vain,
They wander near minstrels grave.
No cypress sad or gloomy yew,
Ger the oy'd tomb shall darkly cling,
But weeping beauty there shall strew,
The fairest sarlands of the spring;
Soft gales around shall fragrance fling,
Fresh flow 'rets DER his tomb shall wave,
And nightngales shall sweetly sing
A requiem DER the minstrel's grave.

POETRY.

We invite the attention of kthe Old Bachelors
from Cape Horn to Nooika Sound, to the poetic ar
tcle below, and if they do not feel the force of the
satire il contains, and instantly commence a war
of courtshp" upon the whole tribe of single sisters
who are whitening, pinins and dying they must in
deed be nsensble to all those gentler feelings
which ought, if they DO no sometimes, operate
even upon dry Old Bachelor. That any man
should be incapable Of estimating the joys OF his
life, as to be induced to waste his time and happi
ness in state OF" single blessedne's" is to us fact
as mex pcabe, as it is degrading TO the human spe-
cies. An Old Bachelor is an useless kind of be-
ing and TO repeat what Julia told us the other
night, we shall just say to the whole race oithem
that the man that can't love and won't marry, de-
serves no better fate than that which closed the ca
re pr of Nebu ehadnezzar.
