From the Kmckerbocker.
THE STEAMBOAT.
BY o. W, HOLMES

BY o. w. HOLINESS.
SEE how yon flaming herald treads
The ridged and rolling waves,
AS, crashing DER their crested heads,
She bows her surly slaves!
With foam before, and fire behind,
She rends the clinging sea,
That flies before the roaring wind,
Beneath her Kissing lee.
The morning spray, like sea-born flowers
With heaped and glistenlng bells,
Falls round her fast, in ringing showers,
With every wave that swells;
And flaming DER the midnight deep,
In lurid frlnges thrown,
The living gems ofocean sweep
Along her flashing zone.
With cashingwheel, and lifting keel,
And smoking torch on high,
When winds are loud, and pillows reel,
She thunders foaming by!
When seas are silent and serene, ~.
With even beam she glides,
Tie sunshine glimmering through the green
That skirts her cleaning sides.
Now, like wild nympll, Tar apart
she wells ler sLtdoNy form,
The beating of her restless heart
Still sounding through the stormj
Now answers, like courtly dame,
The reddening surges Der,
With flying scarf of spangled fame,
The Pharos of the shore.
Tonight yon pilot shall not sleep,
Who trims his narrowed sail;
Tonight yon frigate scarce shall keep
Her broad breast to the gale;
And many foresail, scooped and strained,
Shnl break from yard and stay,
Before this smoky wreath has stained
The rising mist Of day.
Hark! hark!-l hear yon whistling shroud,
see yon quiverlng mast;
The black threat of the hunted cloud
Is painting forth the blast!
An hour, and, whred like winnowing chafF.
The giant surge shall fling
His tresses o'er yon pennon staff,
White as the sea-bird's wing!
Yet rest ye wanderers ofthe deep;
Nor wind nor wave shall tire
Those feshless arms, whose pulses leap
With floods of living fire;
Sleep oh:-and when the morning light
Streams o'er the shining bay,
Oh, think of those for whom the night,
Shall never wake in day!

THLORENCE, ALA. SEPT. %, ,ls3s.--A
E gentleman of the highest standing in
this town, who has been dreadfuly afflicted
with the Blind Piles for the last 26 years,
called upon me and freely confessed to me
his situation. After describing the severity
of the complaint, he remarked he had not
been SO well for 20 years past as he was at
that moment. He has used one bottle only
of Hay s Liniment. TO use his own words
he said " the whole human family, who
were thus afflicted, ought to be made ac-

THE LAST LEAF.
| saw him once before,
AS he passed by my door,
And again,
The paveme mt stones resound
As he totters DER the ground
With his cane.
They say that in his prime,
Ere the pruning knife of time
Cut him down.
Not a better man was found
by the crer in his round
Through the town.
But now he walks the streets
And he looks at all he meets
So forlorn,
And he shakes his feeble head
That it seems as if he said
They are gone,
The messy marbles rest
On the lips that he has pressed
In their boom,
And the names he loved to hear
Have been carved for many u yea
On the tomb.
Ny grand-mama has said
Poor old lady-she is dead
Long ago:
That he had Roman nose
And his check was like the rose
In the snow.
But now his nose is thin
And it rests upon his chin
Like staff;
And crook is in his hack
And a melancholy crack
In his laugh.

For me to sit and grin
At him here,
But the old three cornered hat,
And the breeches--and all that,

At the old forsaken brough,
