The mate of my robin was an excep-
tion to this general animoslty. l have
frequently seen her, before sine had I'M

on the tray, and put it into his mouth,
as ne stood waiting for it, at little dis

her call him, and seen him come to help
himself, If the crumbs were on the out
side. To her offspring she was not so
indulgent. She fed them from her ta-
BILE while her care was necessary, and
she has brought them to the holly tree
to shorten her journeys; but when fine

her moulting, when the feathers Of her

and those of her tail dropped of, one by
one, till no tail was left; and have
dreaded severe frosty nights, lest she
should not be able to survive the cold;
but still my bird always appeared in the
morning
During the frost of the last week of
the last month, my bird was my torment,
by being continually at my window, be-
seeching me to let her in; and when
admitted, l had great difficulty in driv-
ing her out. She wanted shelter, and
endeavoured to elude all my attempts to
force her 10 the open window. This
was exceedingly painful to me; but |
considered that nature had formed her
for the open air; and l had formerly
found robins dead in the morning, after
having been permitted to shelter in tn e

The carpenters were ordered to make
what chests and conveniencies Tom re-
quired. The purser was instructed, al
his request, to supply fortnight's pro-
visions. The day came, and Tom went
on shore at the wharf appointed, when
he began to stow his grub. The black
fellow looked at him with astonishment,
"what you do here, NASSAU" says he
" What AM doing here" says Tom,

in amazement at the short distance,
why, man, I'm going to Tobago,
which believe, is over 200 miles, aud

Nay, twine the heath flower wild for me, e
II hest will suit my blishted lot
For am flung neglec'clly
Abroad, where fostering love is not:
And roses on my aching brow
Too soon would lose their biushing glow;
While on my throbbiug bosom laid.
The lily's bloom in death would fade
Euwreath the folds Of Beauty's hair
With the white jas mine stars their snow
Will CLEAN In purer seeming there,
Aud grace on loveiiness 5estow.
Their delicate frail life will be
Breath'd forth in sweet luxuriancy
On the rich tre,ses, where they lie
Embalm'd IN thsir own od'rous sigh.
Tothe young seraph Hope be given,
In homage to her soft eyes hue,
The violet bud, which stole from, heaven
lts matchless depth Of starlight blue.
Entwine. the Tyre Of song to shade,
The scented myrtle's shining braid;
But weave Tor me TINT flower alone
In wildness ON the desert throwu!"

The story ofthe man Of his majesty's
list regiment falling overheard from the
Chambly steam boat, between Long
Point and Montreal, and so miraculous
ly appearing on the beach before his
comrades had disembarked, reminded
me Of circumstance that occurred dur
ing my servitude on board the Dolphin
man of war, bound to the West Indies.
We were going at the rate of about three
knots and half, when Tom Cardboard,
belonging to the foretop (who, by the
by, was bit Of a wag) sleeping in the
lee fore-chains by sudden lurch Of the
ship, was thrown overheard.
A man overboard!! was the general
cry fore and aft-and every one ran to
offer, or to give assistance to the drown
ing man.
Tom, who was tolerably good SWIM
mer, as every body thought, but nothing
extraordinary, woke up, on finding him
self in deep water, and began to use his
paddles, the ship passing ahead as was
saying before, at rate of three knots
and half. Tom was soon lost under
the counter (for although our ship was
not on Sir Robert Sepping's plan, yet
she was pretty full abaft) when Tom was
lucky enough to get hold Of the rudder
chains. The hands all run aft, expect
ing to see Tom astern, and to lower the
jolly boat down to pick him up; but no
Tom was to be seen. "He is gone"
said they, "to Davy's locker" and efforts
ceased.
Our ship was very deep, bound out to
the West Indies, consequently our gun
room ports were low in the water. This
Tom saw, and as it was getting dark, he
thought he would wait till they had beat
to quarters, and piped the hammocks
down, before he got on board, which he
did, and then popped down into the lady's
hold (where the gunner keeps his wads
and spare monkies' tails) and there re-
mained till the middle Of the first watch,
when he sailed forth, and made free with
our bread bags, taking enough to him for
three days. AT the end ofthis time, we
were jogging along.at an easy rate with
scarcely any wind above knot; when
master Tom, unobserved, slipt out of the
port he came in at, and dropping astern,
began to hail the ship. "The Dolphin,
ahoy!!" Hallow," says the quarter
master, who was abali getting pull at
the mainbrace. Says Tom," if you don't
back the maintopsail and heave too shall
sink, for no man can swim to the West
Indies without provisions.

uIu not ImmeuiateIy dtlenO us call, Sne
would fly to one Of the windows Of my
drawing room, and stretch up her little
neck to ask for bread. If this did not
attract my eye, she applied to my ear,
by hitting her beak against the glass,
and when she knew she had succeeded,
by my rising from my seat, she flew
back to the window ny the holly tree, by
which alone she was admitted. The
window opened, she flew through the
room, turned the angle Of the doorway
which led to the drawing room, and
perched on the table, at which sat,
within few inches Of my hand. On
this table stood her tray. She fed while
| sat close to her; then hoped round
the room, inspected the crevices of the
wainscot, and flew out by the way she
came.
NY bird became, as all red-breasts
are, and as some animals which are not
red-breasts are, prosecutor in her turn.
She was extremely tenacious of the in
volatility of her own territories. No
other robin dared to approach her win
dow, except once, when the ground was
covered with snow, the window open,
and the owner not on guard, q poor
starved fellow-creature ventured into
her drawing room. She pursued il with
the same ferocIty with which she had
formerly been pursued; the frightened
stranger, not aware Of the opposition il
would meet with from the glass, which
