THOUGHTS OF HOMIE
wHrrrrs ~ THE WEST

Sweet IL Is to soar on fancy'' wins'
To that remembt red spft love-
while memory smiles, and rapture sings
Der each familiar scene love'
,Tis fur different here TO roam,
These streams are quite unlike to me;
How dear the wouds and vilds Of home
That early home Of infancy.
The forest, with its mantle green,
Whose fragrance once ] called my own;
The streams, witain whuse depths serene,
The spotted trout Is ever known;
The mountain which climbed, to view
That que, vale so dear to me-
cannot bid you all adieu,
Bright haunts of home in infancy
Though DER me smiles sunny SKI,
Though hills au4 level plains are here,
Though Kindness beams from many AL eye,
Still I NAV not live ever here
Here trends would soothe me with their mirth,
But ali they cannot give to me,
That seat beside my fathers hearth,
Or on that gentl. mothers knee.
Imust hid those scenes all adieu
Oh! for anothe, lingering gaze
There l the joys of childhood knew,
And there were passed my happiest days
While memory SWAPS her magic waad,
And unclaimed fancy still Is free,
'lllove thee still my native land,
For thou art eyer dear to me.

first victims, was accompanied by his son,
a lad of ID years. who was strong attatch-

leave HIM for moment. A large shark
was seen every day following the vessel ev-

one who should die and be committed TO

was sewed up in Il sheet. and for the pur-
