How exceedingly opposite to the case Ofthe gaan,
ship Hornet now given up even BY our ables, s"as o.
are the following lines, from Aokerman's "Forget-
Nle.Not."
Fair ship, saw thee bounding Ger the deep,
Thy white wings glOnCng In the morning ray
Aud many sparkling eye In vain did weep
For the bold hearts that steer'd thee on thy why,
Long days Of grief have linger'd into years;
Return! return! and charm away their tears.
I lstend ill the music and the song
Died on the waters as SHE swep, along;
I watchd her stately beauty, all Il grew
A fading shadow on the distant blue.
Less and s. less-,he waters arc Nlone
Queen Of the ocenn, whittier ART thou gomez
The wintry storm hath sgh'd itself 10 sleep,
Yet still thou lingerest on the iaithless deep;
Have calmer seas, and skies Of deeper blue,
Charm'd thee to bid thine island home 0dieu3
Long has yon dark.haired maiden wept In vain:
Return! return and bid her smile again.
Long may'st thou weep, but never shalt thou SEQ
Thy far-haired mariner return TO thee,
Clasp thy young beauty in long embrace,
And read his pardon in thy happy face!
Thy gentle prayers, fair mourner, could not save;
Thy sailor sleeps within the stormy wave.

children are doharred from drawing what
is actually due from the last payment day
up To the day of the pensioners death
Col. Platt had been declining for long

. De. RAIN WArER.-We find in DR..
Smiths Address delivered recently at Bal.
timore. (Md.) an account of a singular per.
sonage who figured in Connecticut, ID or
30 years ago. lie was noted quock; and
was known by the name of DIR. Rain wa
ter; from the fact that after prescribing to
his patien,s a simple and wholly iner, nos
trum, he enjoined upon them to drink moth
ING but rain truier; declaring if they drank
any other. the medicine would operate as
n deadly poison. The quack had discov
cred that large proportion oithe diseases
which fell under bis observation, were eth
er originated or : aggravated by the drink
ING Of ardent spirits. The consequence OF
his prescriptions were-that his fame was
widely extended, and mul'itudes hockcd to
him FOR relief from all parts OF the state.
The most astonishing cures were actually
performed by the use ofwater alone. The
regular bred physicians were astorished at
his success. The secret at last came out;
and the unfortunate DR.. Ran.water was
consigned to disgrace and infamy, revled
even by those who had been cured of in
yeterate diseases by his simple regimen.
