MAN OVERHEARD
BY THE AUTHOR OF "THE MUTINY."

"Meet her, quartermasterw balIed the
officer on the deck; "hold on every body!"
Torn from my grasp upon the capstan
by mountain wave which swept US in its
power; l was borne over the lee bulwarks;
and rope which grasped in my passage,
not being Delayed, unrove in my hands,
and was buried in the sea.
i" Man overboardm ran along the decks.
Cut away the liie-buoy!"
Stunned and strangled, | rose to the
surface, and instinctively struck out for the
ship; while, clear above The roar of the
storm, and the dasy of the cold, terrible
sea, the loud thunder Of the trumpet came
full on my ear.
Man the weather main and maintop-
sial braces; slack the lee ones; round in /;
stand by to lower away the lee quarter
boat"
My first plunge for the ship, whose dim
outline l could scarcely perceive, in the
almost pitchy darkness Of the night, most
fortunately brought me within reach ofthe
life-buoy grating. Climbing upon this
used the faithless rope, still in my hand, to
lash myself fast, and thus freed from the
fear Of immediate drowning, | could more
quietly watch and wait for rescue.
The ship was not hidden from my sight,
but being to leeward, could with consid.
cradle distinctness make out her wherea
bouts, and judge Of the motions on board
Directly, a signal lantern glanced at hel
peak; and oh! how brightly shone tina,
solitary beam on my straining eye-for
though rescued from immediate peril
what other succor could ! LOOK for, in thai
fearful swell, on which no boat could liyt

lingering horlid death9
Within cables lenght, lay my floating
home, where ten minutes before not light
or heart than mine was enclosed by heI
frowning bulwarks; and though SO nea

the rapid notes Of q drum beating to quar-
ter, with all the clash and tramp, and roa
Of night alarm: while ! could also faintl.
hear the mastering Of the divisions. whicl

Then came the kissing Of a rocket, whicl
bright and clear, scared TO heaven; an

THE LAPSE OF TIME.
by WIN. G. BRYANT.

by WIN. c. BRYANT.
Lament who will, in fruitlcss tears,
The speed with which our moments fly;
! sigh not over vanished years
But watch the years that hasten by.
Look, how they Ia mingled crowd
Outright and dark, but rapid days;
Beneath them, like summer cloud,
The wide world changes as gaze.
What! grieve tina, time has brought SO soon
The sober age Of manhood on!
As idle might weep at noon,
To see the blush Of morning gone.
Could give up the hopes that glow
In prospect like Elysian isles,
And let the charming future go,
With all her promises and smiles!
The Future cruel were the power
Whose doom would tear thee from my heart
Thou sweet'ner Of the present hour;
We cannot-no, we will not part.
Oh leave me still the rapid flight
That makes the changing seasons gay;
The greatful speed that brings the night,
The swift and glad return Of day.
The mouths that touch, with added grace,
This little pratller at my knee
III those arch eyes, and speaking face,
New meaning every hour see.
The years that DER eacl, sister land
Shall lift the country Of my birth,
And nurse her strength till she shall stand
The pride and pattern Of the earth.
Till younger commonwealth, for aid,
Shall cling about her robe,
Aud from her fown shall shrink afraid
The crowned oppression Of the globe.
True, time will sore and blanch my brow;
Well shall sit with aged men,
And my good glass will tell me how
A grizzly beard becomes me then.
And should no foul dishonor lie
Upon my head when am gray,
Love yet shall watch my fading eye,
And smooth the path Of my decay.
Then haste thee, Time, 'tis kindness all
That speeds thy winged feet so fast;
Thy pleasures stay not till they pail,
And all thy pains quickly past.
Thou 6iest and Dearest away our woes,
And as thy shadowy train depart,
The memory of sorrow grows
A lighter burden on the heart.

PROSPECTUS
FOR THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
LIBRRTY ADWWCATRa
JAMES M. SMILEY, Editor.

| Notwithstanding the unparalleled pressure,
which for the last twelve months, has cramped
and trammelled every depart ment of the Me-
Chancal, Agricultural and Commercial COM
munity, the unwearled and interchangeable ener
gles Of American enterprise, are once more
giving evidenced higher and fairer prospect
before US. That qulescent attribute, which, Tor
a time, seemed to mark and designate our
downward proclivity to carelessness and indlt'
ference, has fortunately awakened from its
sluggish apathy; and partially disnthraed
from the fatal influence Of a too blind credu-
lity in the nfallibility Of those whom we have
elevated above US, may we not still indulge the
hope, that there is yet held in reserve, hap
py result in the experiment Of this last and
once purest Of Republics?
lnstigated, in part, by that grand revolution
which has already commenced, and which is
still going on in the opinion OF the people, so
far as respects the political relations existing
between the respective States and the FEEDER.
al Government, the present Proprietor is about
to embark in the publication Of the Liberty
Advocate.
| Two years ago, this journal dated Its origin,
at period when, in this County, 1t had MANY
difficulties to encounter, and tho strongest ops
position to contend with. The enduring, and,
as we conceive, orthodox principles, which
have nurtured and sustained the journal through
"good and through evil report" had then in
their infancy, but mere minority which sus-
tanned it. But, the resistless march Of human
reason, before whose advance all obstacles
must ultimately recede, has brought about
brighter and fairer dawn; and the philan-
thropist and the patriot can now look in pro-
spective upon the revisit Of those Purer days,
which once pointed to the destiny Of our much
beloved country.
The political creed Of the Advocate will DO
the same which it has heretofore advocated.
State Rights and Stale Sovereignty, will be the
arterial action which shall give life and amin
alton TO lis political characteristic, while ex'
orcising a tenacity for those principles which
will never yield to caprice, the columns OF tbs
journal will, at all times, 30 open 70 llberal
discussion, and offered as ready channel to the
tide Of passing events, and an acceptable organ
of general science and useful knowledge.
We cordially invite tho patronage. all those
who concur with us 10 sentiment, aswell as Inc
magnanimity Of those who dissent from US IN
politics, TO cooperate in sustaining the press
The Advocate will in future appear, under the
Editorial supervision Of JAMES M. Smiley, Esq
and published on the Same terms OF the iOs'
mer numbers, by A. w. FORSIIHp'

PROSPECTUS
THE WEEKLY PICAYUNE.


In consequence of the popularity which oul
daily paper has gained in all sections Of the
country, and the numerous demands we are
receiving from all quarters for weekly jour.
nal, we have determined on starting one Of that
description, to be entitled the "THE WEEKLY
PIcAYUNE."
Toadopt the same igurative style used in our
first prospectus, we have fitted out the "PicG.
yune" for more distant voyages, and freighted
her with all sorts of notions in the shape OF
reddabLeS; and if the same success attends her
which she has met with while coasting nearer
home, we shall doubtless receive rich returns.
To prepare our little craft for the more ex-
tended sea on which she is destined to move,
we have put on her many additions and i'm
provements. Some of her old timbers have
been taken out and replaced by new--she has
greater measurement foreand aft, greater
length Of beam, and her sheets have been ma
terially enlarged.
Notwithstanding the Increased size, the pub
lie may rest assured that the 'PicCyune' will be
enabled to work in ShOGl sOdtey with the same
facility as heretofore, and form channels Of
communication which it would be folly for the
dull heavy vessels at present sailing this port
to navigate.
