A Darhey Navigator,

Upon the shores ofIthe Chesapeake
there once lived a man whose oeeu-
patton was hading along the coast,
which he carried on in a schooner
called the Nancy Ann, and his yoya-
yes usually extended as far as Nor
folk; himself and an old negro named
Sam formed the crew.
One night 5na return voyage from
Norfolk, the Nancy.Ann danced gaily
over the rippIed surface Of the bay,
before the ge htle breeze, our trader
standing at Il L helm, as was his Gus
to1h-lor though he occas ionally
trusted Sam With that post in pleas
ant weather d bring the day time, yet
he had not efficient confide nce in
Sans Seaman ship to allow him the

The we ather during the. voyage down
and returning, up to this time, had

of sleep, and his inceasant labor at

be ia dress parade, the planets play

and borne before the breeze, the
Man ey Ann glided smoothly along
on her homeward course, without re-
qIifinS a motion of the tilldr EY-
ryithing seemed 50 silent and fine:
and our trader, as We have said, be-
ing exhausted, concluded that this
was a good opportunity to obtain "a
little repose, and that for once he
would give the say the tiA6r

Yes, massa,' said Sam.


Now take Tie tiIler, and keep her
head towards that star; don't let her
fall of, you black rascal, or I'll whale
you! anything happens, rouse me.
Immediately. Now mind Your eye!'
Aye, aye, Nasal said Sam.
Down went the trader and soon he
aas wrapped in the arms Of Murphy,
as the Irish have it, willie Sam kept
the Nancy's head to the star. Time
wore apace, and the scho4nerskimmed
along. Aboard ship many things
produce drowsiness-tAc 10 neiness
of the situation, the mon otonp us
washing Of the waves against the
sides OF the vessel, the ru4hing of
the ripples astern, and the mournful
singing Of the breeze through the
cOrdage-all Of these had their inllu-
ehce upon Sam; added to which was
the mcsmeric eff get of gazing fixcdly
at any particular object, as Sam did
at the North star.
Yielding at last to the somnorifc
influences which surrounded him, Sam
closed his eyes, and begun a basso
accompaniment to the alto snore OF
his master. Whilst they slumbered,
old Eolus, who is always breezing
about, resolved to play ! prank upon
the careless searnen, 50 lie let loose a
Nor-wester, which no sooner struck
the Nancy, than she wore round, and
started off before the wind ike wild
horse. Meanwhile the Sky became
.o'ercast, the dress parade was over,
tattoo beat, lights put out. and the
lars snug in their quarters.
Away N1ee,n.t the Nancy, as if fright
-enedat her snoring crew. Presently,
the spray washing over tie side gave
Sam a drenclling, and awakened him
to a sense Of duty. Quite beWilder-
ed, he looked about him; al was dark
Forward, larboard, and starboard, lie
gqzed in search Of bis beacon light
: mot a star was to be. seem Sud
denly he turned to look astern, and
there, far away to the North, where
Il le clouds had left a stripe Of blue
SKY, he saw Capricon Pickering just
above the horizon. Pleased at his
discovery, he rushed below, seized
tile trader by the shoulder, and sha
king him violently, cried out

Anecdotes of Roman Nunneries.

y recent lady traveller in Haly has pull
shod some curious and Interesting AT.
ecdocs relative TO tie nunncries OF Rome.
Speaking Of the Convent Of St. S,lvesira,
our informant says: The history of one
Of the former nuns Of this convent, as reat-
ed to me by one OF the sisters, is quite 4 ro-
nance, and in It's most common place stve.
Her name WAS Sa,so Ferrato. She was left
an orphan and an hciress in infancy and
placed by her uncle, her sole guardian, here,
with the intention Of inducing her to take
the veil, that her iorlune might descend to
him and to his family. 1t happened howev-
or, that at oae Of the grand professions Of
the Virgin, which the nuns were assembled
to hchold, The young Sa,so Ferato saw, and
was seen by the captain Of the guards sta
TONED at the conyent-a younger son Of the
Giustnlani family, and brother Of one of
her youthful companions in the convent. His
visits 10 his sister became very frequent. and
SaSso Ferrato generally contriycd to accom-
Pany her friend on these occasions They
tecamc desperately i'll love; but the cruel
uncle refused hi consent, and bv ants which
intimidaIcd the young and inexperienced
mind Of Sdsso Ferrato, by a powerful inter
est which rendered the complaints Of her
lover vain, and by his authority as the rep.
reseniatiycs of her parents, he succeeded in
obhgng her to take the veil She only lived
Two years alteI wards. Her lover became a
maniac, and after being confined for some
time, continued during the remaining years
Of his life, to roam about the mcishboIhood
Of the ci!-his hair and beard growing
wild his dress neglected, and his manners
gloomy and feroclous, though harmless in his
actions"
