 Short, who had come on deck, pereeivine this, and that the dog was about to resume the attack, saluted Snarleyyow with a kich on his side, which threw him down the hatehWay, which was about three yards dis tanl lfom where the dog was at the time.

 Short did not condescend 10 answer, but went to Smallbones, and ralsed his head The lad revived. He was terribly bitten about the face and geek, and what with the wounds in front, and the flashing from the cat presented melancholy spectacle.
 Short called some of the men to take smallbones below, in which act they readi- ly assisted; they washed him all over with salt wafer, and the smarting from his various wodnds brought him to his senses. lie was then put in his hammock

VOLCANO was got by Stockholder, his dam, the famous little mare Forest Maid, by Ratray, of whom Mir. J. c. Beasley said, she was the best nag of her size he had ever seen, aud that she was 'sa friend to poor man in strange country''-after losing on all his other horses, he could, with confidence, bet his last dollar on her whenever she started for four mile heat. His grandam was the equally celebrated mare Maid of the Oaks, by Imported Spread Eagle, ona of the best four mile nags of her day in Yirgina; his g. gran dam, which was also the dam of Nancy Air, was by imported Shark, g. 2. grendam by Rockingham, g. g. 2. grandam by Gallant, g.g.g. g. grandam by True Whig, g. g. g. g. g. grandam by Regulus.
 OfStockholder, VoLcANo's sire, 1t IS unne- cessary to say aught; he is too well known as racer and stallion, to require the prop of long pedigree. It may not be amiss, how ever, to state that he was got by old Sir Ar chy, and his dam by imported Citizen, the best blood that America can boast. Ratray, the sire of Nolcano's dam, was by the import ed horse Clifden, his dam by Fitzpartner, his grandam Araminna, who was got by Brim- fner out of Mir. Peyton Randolph's celebrated marc Lovely Lass.
 Imported Spread Eagle was got by Nolun- teer, his dam by Highdyer, grandan by En- gineer, out of the dam of Bay Nation and Treasurer; she was got by Cade, out of the Lass of the Mill, by Old Traveller.
 Spread Eagle IS unpopular with many sportsmen, but would ask what horse has better pedigree, and what imported horse has got as many capital racerss tis enough to say, that Spread Eagle was the sire of the Maid of the Oaks, Paragon, Adeline, Red Eye, and Eleden's Floretta; all winners of . sepase fe.as naile=raess; ;=1ant tending with he best horses of Virginia. Floretts made bet ter time over the Washington course than was ever made before or since, beating, IT three heats, Top Gallant, Oscar, First Con sul and another; running each heat under eight minutes, and the second heat in sever minutes and ffty-two seconds.

 Said Maxwell is tall, spare men, with rather wan and wrinkled face, grave deport- ment, and little lisp in his voice, and some times wears spectacles-a gunsmith by trade.

 Far o'er the sea! Where are the sweet eyes of Love Watching for me? Where, OCT the cabin roof, Waves the green tree! Where speaks the vesper-chime Stiff of a holy time!

 Ny only Love! Or smiling in brighter home,
 Far, far above! Oh. is thy sweet voice fled my Love4
 Thy light step gone! And art thou not, in earth or heal en,
 Still, still my own? see thee with thy gleaming hair,
 In midnight dreams; But cold, and clear, and spirit-like,
 Thy soft eye seems. Peace in thy saddest hour, ray love.
 Dwelt on thy browS But something mournfnlly divine
 There shineth now; And silent ever is thy lip,
 And pale thy cheek:- Oh! art thou EartA's or art thou Heavens!
 Speak to me, speakt
