Anecdote of Old Ironsides.

The most brilliant naval action of the last
war undoubtedly was that Of the old American
frigaie Constitution, "a, commanded by Com
modore Stewart, when she captured the two
British corveites, Cyane and Levant, of greatly
superior force, each Of them being equal 10 the
old fashioned 80 gun frigates. The handling
of the American frigate was throughout scien.
tifc and unexcepionabe. By no maneuvering
could either of The British vessels obtain po-
siion 10 rake the Constitution. Shift their
grounds as they would, Old Ironsides was be-
tween them, blazing away upon both vessels at
the same time. During The whole action, Stew

OLD MOTHER EARTH is wan and pale,
Her face is wrinkled sore;
Her locks are blanched, her heart is cold,
Her garments stiff with gore;
With furrowed brow and dim sad eyes,
With trembling steps aud slow.
She marks The course thai first she irod,
Six thousand years ago!
The Earth is OLD. the Eanh is cold,
She shivers and complains
How many Winters fierce and chill,
Have racked her limbs with pains
Drear tempesis, lightning, flood and fame
Have SCARED her visage SO,
That scarce we deem she shone so fair,
Six thousand years ago!
Yet comely was The youthful Earth,
And lightly .ripped along
To music from starry choir,
Whose sweet celestial song
Through Natures temple echoed wild,
And soft as slreamIeis' flow,
While sister spheres rejoiced with her.
Six thousand years ago!
And many happy children there
Upon her breast reclined,
The young Earth smiled with aspec, fair.
The heavens were bright and kind;
The azure cope above her head
In love seemed bending low;
0 happy was the youthful Earth.
Six thousand years ago.
Alas those children Of the earth
With hate began 10 burn,
Aud Murder stained her beauieous robe,
And babe the young Earth mourn.
And ages, heavy ages. still
Have bowed with gathering wo

Shall shed a purer, holier light
