CHAPTER n.
A Il L n A II

With merry breeze filling our white sails,
on we dash through The white crest of the
yielding wave. Not sail breaks the vast
round Of the horizon; we are alone upon the
deep--alone, but not companionless.
The glad porpoise races with US uprising
ever and anon TO see what way we make
the unwieldy whale gambols in the distance;
the sacred flying fish, pursued through sea
and air, exhausted falls upon the deck; the
rapacious shark keeps in our wake, the dread
Of the superstitions.
Fred kokbote, now some months in the SER
vice, stood leaning over the taffrail, gazing
with enthusiasm upon the broad expanse, as
wave after wave, dashes up with wild en-
brace against the vessels PROV, and joyous
wind sung its greetings through her cordage,
he exclaimed:
'There's freedom and gladness in the glo-
rious sea !"

for their affection was mutual, and they knew
that no obstacle could stay their ultimate hap

Fred imagined how delighted the old Com
modore would be, and with the consent of
Emily's father concerted a plan which, would
not only surprise his uncle, but prevent the
possibility of the wind changing in that quar-

be married at the first port, and proceed, spill

NEVER GIVE UP.

Never give up! il is wiser and better,
Always to hope than once to despair:
Fling off the load of doubt s cankering fetter,
And break the dark spell of tyranieal care,
Never give up. or the burthen may sink you,
Providence kindly has mingled the cup;
And in all trials and troubles bethink you,
The watchword of life must be, Never give up Z
Never give up there are chances and changes,
Helping the hopeful hundred to one
And, through the chaos, High Wisdom arranges
Ever suecess--if you II only hope on.
Never give up for the wisest is boldest,
Knowing that Providence minges the cup;
And of all maxims, the best as the Oldest,
Is the true watchword of Never give up!"
Never give up though the grape shot may rattle,
Or the full thunder cloud over you burst
Stand like rock, and the storm and the battle,
Little shall harm you, though doing their worst.
Never give up if adversely presses.
Providence wisely has mingled the cup;
And the best counsel, in all your distresses,
Is the stout watchword of "Never give up 20

white spermaceii whale was lately captured
in the Pacific by Capt. Fisher Of the ship

aItho' as largeas the ninety barrel whale yielded

sweetness which could hardly belong 10 earth,

breathing Of an Eolian lutte TO the gen,iest Wis

For hope and faith bold
And life is but n weariness--
And earth is strangely cold
In view of earth's pale solitude
My spirit hath not mourned--
It's kinder than forgotten love,
Or friendship, unrestrained.
And could pass the Swallowed land

If one who is now far away
Were near me with a smile.

Unheedcd by our dearest love-
The smiles and tears of one
Oh plant my grave with pleasant flow m,

Perchance he may yet visit them,
And shed above my bier
The hottest dew of funeral flowers

Stealing existence like the last strain OF ocean

Graves, of Kentucky, that he is, are respectfully

not refuse credence to ga Plain Democrat:

over the few papers that have reached me from

doubt on the subjecO with regard to Gen. Taylor's

Zen Taylor is as uncOmpromising Wing as there
Is In the United States. He is a man of strong
prejudlces and one Of his greatest aversions up To
a year ago, was democratic paper So common
~ understood was this prejudice of his that it used
to be said in camp that if the Washington Globe
were to be taken into his quarters, he would order
1t to be removed with pair tongs. 1T is p1oba-
bic that since the Wings have commenced writ
ing to him about the Presidency. he NAV have re-
Taxed little in his bitterness against democracy
but would like TO see one word that Gen. TAYLOR
has ever spoken or written, favorable TO the lead
ing principles of the democratic party.
The General says, that it he goes into the
White House he will act for the whole country.
and not for party. That he would act conscen-
clousy for the good of his country, have no doubt
but as conscientious believer in WING principles
he will most assuredy adopt those principles in the
management of the government, and he will as
surely deem it ''for the good of his country'' tc

POET r Y,
ON BUENi VISTA'S BLOODY FIELD.
ny COL. HENRY PErRIKEN.

by COL. HENRY PETRIKEN.
On Buena Vista's bloody field
A soldier, dying, lay,
His thoughts were of his mountain home,
Some thousand miles away;
He called his comrade to his side,
For much he had to say,
In briefest time, to those who were
Some thousand miles away.
My father, comrade, you will tell
About this bloody fray
My country's standard, say to him,
Was safe with me to-day.
Pve made pillow of it now,
On which to lay my head,
A winding sheet you'll make of it,
When | am with the dead
know twill grieve his Utmost soul,
To think that never more
iii sit with him beneath the oak,
That shades his cottage door;
But tell the time-worn patriot,
That mindful of his fame,
Upon this bloody ttle-field,
sulled not his name.
My mothers form is with me now,
Her wall is in mine ear,
And drop by drop, as flows my blood,
So drops from her tear
Then, oh when you shall tell TO her
The tdngs Of this day,
Speak softly, comrade-softly speak,
What you may have to say.
Speak not to her in hurried words,
The blighting news you bear,
The chords of life might snap too soon,
So, comrade, have a care.
am her only, cherished child,
But, tell her that died
Rejoicing that she taught me young,
TO take my country's side.
But, comrade, there is one, | fain
Once more would look upon
She lives upon the sloping hill
That overlooks the lawn
The lawn, where | shall never more,
In spring times pleasant hours,
Go forth with her in merry mood,
To gather wood and flowers.
Tell her, when death was on my brow,
And life receding fast,
Her voice, her form, her parting words,
Were with me TO the last.
On Buena Vista's bloody field,
Tell her dying lay,
And that knew she thought Of me,
Some thousand miles away.

1t was stated some time since, that the loss of
life III the Mexican war had already been greater
than that which our countrymen suffered in the
last war with England. The late battles add fear
fully TO the number of the dead. AT Pao Alto and
Resaca, our loss, we think, was about 800; at
Monterey 500 killed and wounded at Buena Wis
Ia, 500 killed and wounded and in the battles near
the capital, HOO killed and wounded More than
three thousand of our counrymen slain or disabled
Tor lie! 10 these must be added the numbers
who have fallen in minor actions and encounters
with the guerllas and the great multitude which
has persisted from disease.-We have little doubt
that len thousand would scarcely cover the whole
American loss. Could all their bones be collected
what CHASTITY and gigantic monument would rise.
to perpetuate the glory of War! Among those
who have fallen, are many of the best and bravest
spirits III the land. All have left behind those
who cherished them as their hearts lood-Thou-
sands upon thousands of families are clothed i'm the

profit by gentle hint.

boiling water, covering the tub or barrel to keep in

it through a fine seive. Ii then will be in state

one quart of rock or Turks Island salt, and one
