Tue kSIcKERGocSES.-Time ripens our wor-
thy old friend Diedrch, and makes his converse
ton mellower and pleasanter. We have been
we'll amused with the old genteman's Spring
visit, and congratulate his patrons upon the fresh
ness and vigor of his mind and humor. The
Gossip with Readers and Correspondents in
the present number is, as usual, one Of the most
attractive features in the publication. The most
valuable article in the number however, is The
Legend of Don Rederick," by the author of the
Sketch Book. 1t seems that this Legend, with
several others, appeared in London, some eighteen
years ago, in volume which has never been
published in the regular edition of the authors
works, and which never was known in this coun
try. Mr.. Irving says the knickerbocker) in.
PRODUCES the legends TO his readers with few
PREDATORY sentences, In which he states that he
has venturcd to dip more deeply into the enchant-
ed fountains Of old Spanish chronicles than has
usually been done by those who have treated Of
the eventful period of which he writes; but in
doing he only more fully illustrates the char
acter of the people and the times. He has
thrown the records into the form of legends, not
claiming for them the authenticity Of sober his
tory, yet giving nothing that had not historical
foundation. All the facts herein contained
says Mr.. Irving, however cxtravagant some of
them may be deemed, will be found in the works
of sage and reverend chroniclers of yore, grow.

HYMN AT SEA.
OCR barQue is moving DER the mighty deep,
While calm the waves upon It's surface sleep;
The sun is sinking to his briny rest,
Dying with ruby hue the waters breast
Cop of the wide and ever-heaving Ocean,
Hear thou the hushcd hearts hymn OF deep devotion!
Whom shall we praise but Thee the Sea is thine :;
And though we toss upon The toamng brine,
Which rises high around like scattered dust,
Thou art our refuge and in Thee we trust;
For Thou canst smooth the Ocean-path before us,
And bid the rainbow loves own arch, bend DER US.
Whom shall VIC fear but Thee the winds are thine,
Curling the deep in long silver line,
Or dashing foam on the devoted deck
Or bowling wildly round the vessels wreck:
Ger the yexed waters then thy spirit moving,
Bids them be still, the angry surge reproviDg.
Whom shall we trust beside alone with Thee,
Our barque is bounding DER the solemn Sea:
On, let the waves hcave on. Thou dost not sleep,
Thy watChtul love is with the deep,
Guiding us safely DER the billow's motion,
Though dark our pathway on the midnight Ocean
