SO geutly wan, sweetIy weak"
The hustle of the fight was over: the pris
oners had been secured, and the decks washed
down, the watch piped, and the schooner had
once more relapsed into midnight quiet and
repose. [ sought my hammock and soon
fell asleep. But my slumbers were disturbed
by dreams, which, like the visions Of fever,
agitated and unneryed me; the late strife,
the hardship of my early life, and a thous-
and other things, mingled together as figures
in phantasmag goria. Suddenly hand was
laid upon my shoulder, and starting up, 1
beheld the surgeons mate.
''Little Dick, sir, is dying" he said.
Isprang from my hammock Little Dick

pale, delicate child, said to be an orphan,
and used to tender nurture and from the
first hour joined the schooner, NY heart

been friendless and alone in the world He
had often talked to me in confidence Of his
mother, whose memory he regarded with
holy reverence, while to the other boys Of
the ship he had little to say: for they were
rude and coarse, be delicate and sensitive.
Often when they jeered him for his melan-
choly, he would 60 apart by himself and
weep. He never complained Of his lot,
though his companions imposed on him
continually. Poor lad his heart was in
the grave with his lost parents

lightened his task as much as possible. Du-
ring the last fight l had owed my life to
him, for he had rushed in just as sabre
stroke was leveiled at me, and by interpos-
ing, had averted the blow.
In the hurry and confusion I had forgot
ten to inquire if he was hurt, though, at
the time, inwardly resolved to exert all
my influence to procure him midshipman's

"He is delirious, but in the intervals of

the sound of the ripples, Judged that the
schooner was in motion, while the clear,
calm, blue sky, dotted with myriads of stars,
betokened that the fog had broken away.
How calm it smiled down on the wan face OF
the dying boy. Occasionally light cur
rent of wind-oh, how deliciously cool in
that pent up hold, eddied down the hatch
way and lifted the dark chesnut locks OF the
sufferer, as, with his head reposing in the
lap of an old veteran, he lay in an inquiet
slumber. His shirt collar was unbuttoned,
and his childish bosom, as white rs that of
of which he was dying had been intensely
painful, but within the last halt hour had
somewhat lulled, though even how Lis thin
fingers tightly grasped the oed-clothes as if
he suffered the greatest agony.
! A battle stained and grey haired seaman
stood before him, holding lantern in his
hand, and gazing sorrowfully upon the suf-
ferer. The surgeon knelt, with his finger
upon the boys pulse. As | approached
they all looked up. The veteran who held
him shook bis head. and would have spoken
but the tears gathered in his eyes. The
surgeon said:
"He is going fast, poor fellow; DO you
see this - said he, lifting up rich gold
locket which had laid upon the boys breast
"He has seen better days"
could not answer, for my heart was full.
Here was the being to whom, but two hours
before, had owed my life-a poor, Slight,
unprotected child, lying before me, with
death already written on his brow. and yet
had never known his danger, and never
sought him out after the conflict How bit
terly my heart reproached me in that hour.
They noticed my agitation, ard his friend
the seaman that held his head-said sadly:
'Poor little Dick, you'll never see the
shore you have wished for so long. But
there'll be more than one Che spoke with
emotion) to mourn over you"
Suddenly the little fellow opened his eyes
and looked vacantly around
''Has he come YETI" he asked in low
voice, ''why won't he Gomez

lows hand: ''don't you know ne, Dick ?"

Nearly three hundred Delegates came up

an unainching resolution to take some initia-
tory steps TO rid our good old State from the
parent vice that has so long and so busily

In which so many minds were conferred, it is
natural to suppose that different views would
be entertained, respecting the most expedieOt
course TO be pursued IN esecting the great
work THAI engaged the deliberations Of the

Look at Home.

Alas! how few throw open the hidden door
of the heart and take an impartial look at
home--in the secret chamber Of their own
bosoms-when they talk 50 harshly of the
faults of their ~neighbors. He is a villain!
exclaims one modern Pharisee, who robbed
his widowed mother and orphan sister of the
meagre pittance left them by a hard-work-
ing father. "He is a mean wretchw ex-
claims another, speaking of some generous
neighbor who has refused him a favor after
granting him nihety-nine, without thanks
I" He is a ~scoundrel!" exclaims q third-an
oppressor of one who cannot pay his just
debts. Thus men talk of their n%eighbors,
without thinking that while they are pulling
moats from the eyes Of others with nail grabs,
their own goggles are stocked with beams
like smoked pine logs!
This would be u far better world if we
could all see and know ourselves as others
see and know US. Why should we be blind
to our own imperfections, cur short comingf
and long sinnings, and look with skinned
eyes through m~agnifying glassesat the foible'
of our ~neighbors? Who fears to look a
home? Reader, be thou an anomaly in thii
progressive, nineteeth century, by studying
your own character, reproving your own er
rors, and letting your n~eighbors pray thei
own sins away. y
