STAR.
TFoR THE STAR.
STEWART HOLLAND.
BY HENRY r, STANTON


Far on the ruthless ocean wave,
With few to see and none save.
One fea less hea has found a grave,
And nObly there is sleeping.
When others fled the faxed wreck,
He stood upon the Arctic's deck,
Aud felt the cold spray on his cheek,
In chilly silence ieaplng.
And tfose who heard his signal gun,
And saw in flashes one by one,
And snew his task was nObiy done,
In bitterness We're sig ing.
Beneath him lay a watery bed
The creaking mast above hi head;
While round the ip he saw The dead,
And heard the shrek of dying.
Unmoved amid the terror there
The sea wind playing in his hair
He stood his vessels fate TO share,
Without moments fearing.
Again his signal gun rang out,
Again he heard tue dying shout,
But still his heart was brave and stout,
With death so closely nearing.
The waves are leaping to and fro,
Above the heart That sleeps below,
And to his spirit as they flow,
In MELODY are singing.
Too noble and 90 young to die,
Too proud to flee when Others fly,
His fate was IN the deep 10 lie,
An to his vessel clinging.

The AlbatroSS.

The Courier and Enquirer is publishing a
series Of highly interesting sketches from
George w. Peck, author of Melbourne and
the Chincha Islands, In one of these letters
he gives the following poetic description OF
the Albatross-the best and most picturesque
we have ever read-and truthful wthal -
"One fine afternoon when our ship with her
crowd of passengers was in the Southern At
lantlc, or more properly, the Southern Indian
Ocean, and farther to the Southwark than the
tracks of most vessels, being, as remember,
in latitude as high as As deg, the Albatross
came about US in unusual numbers. The
weather was light the birds eager for slush
or anything that fell from the ship, and our
passengers eager for sport, it being the first
week after we had got into the bird ATTITUDES.
The mate, who had the deck, was willing,
(probably with the Captains knowledge) to
indulge them. Fastening large hook to a
spare log line, and batting it with big piece
of pork, he soon had victim out Of the focks
that were following close astern, and landed
him, not without assistance over the taffrail
upon the poop. We were all astonished at
his size, which was so much larger than ap-
peared from the deck, and as may be sup
posed, | had peculiar curiosity respecting
the bird Of The Ancient Mariner.
The Albatross is the most poetic object on
the ocean. There is nothing in all nature so
noble, free, ethereal, spiritual-nothing ami
mate that so brings the sense of infnity and
mystery, and boundless space into the day
light. His home is in the Southern oceans,
below twenty degrees south Of the line. Here
he ranges alone or in company, over wastes Of
water that it takes fast ships from foIty-ive 10
sixty days to sail across. His flight is not
high it is in long low swings, mile or two
each way. Except in alighting and getting
under weigh again he rarely moves his wings,
only sometimes giving few grand strong
flaps then sailing away, now on one side,
now on the other, now far astern, and again
across the ships bows; he may be watched
in any weather, going over hundred miles
Of distance to the ships one. No gale sends
him to leeward. no calm lessons the swttness
with which he 'shaves with level wing the
Deep Sometimes there come hundreds of
this kind at once, at others have watched
solitary one for days together. | never saw
one alight except to pick Up something which
had fallen or was thrown from the ship
Their alightiRg and rising is goose like and
ungraceful, but once afoat, their motions have
an almost supernaturally sublime beauty. 1t
is possible they may sleep at night on the
waves, but we never fell in with them as we
did with Cape Pigeons, IN the dark. have

brick walls, and are as solid and probably as
durable, but this remains to be tested by expe-
rience. At present there seems to be no
ground for doubling their strength and dura-
bility
The writer of this has recently had the sat
isfaction of seeing specimen of this kind of
building. 1t is dwelling house in North
Danvers, the walls Of which are just erected,
and belongs 10 Aaron Putnam, Esq. The
form of this building is an octagon, about SO
feet in diameter.
This process is exceedingly simple, 50
much so that Mr.. PutnanA, who is neither a
carpenter or mason, superintended the erec-
tion of his house, assisted only by two COM
mon laborers who had never before had any
experience in such work Mr. Putnam's first
essay in this work was the erection of Chin
ney with the gravel mortar To do this he
realized Paddy's description of the mode of
making cannon, which was, first to make a
round hole and then put the iron around it.
MIR. Putnam made wooden box just the size
of his proposed chimney, then put a round
pole the size of the fue in the center, and af-
forwards filled the remaining cavity with his
prepared mortar. This soon hardened, the
pole was withdrawn and the chimney was
complete.
This will indicate the manner in which the
house is built, only instead Of making a mould
for the whole house at once, the plan is, to
place two boards parallel on the foundation,
with space between them just the width OF
the proposed wall, and fill in between them
with the prepared mortar and stones. AS this
hardens, so much of the wall is built. The
boards are then raised so as to form another
space, and after being properly secured are
again filled in, and so much more of the wall
is made. This frame is again raised, again
filled in, and thus the walls are carried to the
required height
The outside appearance ofthe wall is rough
and it is sufficiently SO to adapt it to receive
finishing coat of cement which will give il
the appearance of free-stone house. The
American House in Boston is familiar speci-
men Of beauty of this kind of finish The in
side finishing may be made, if desirable, by
plastering on the wall itself, or by furrine
and lathing.
Of the economy Of this mode Of building
there can be but one opinion, provided it should
prove to be durable. Compared with a brick
house it is a saving Of al the bricks aud a con
siderable portion Of labor 1t must also 81
cheaper than wooden walls at the present
price of lumber,-to say nothing of the differ
ence in the actual value to the proprietor, of :
stone house over a wooden one. 1t is in fac
stone house, as this is the main material r
It's composition. We trust this mode of build.
ing will generally be adopted on account Of its
cheapness. Already we hear of such houses
going up in Lynn, Somervlle, Ipswich
Wenham and many other places, and we shall
be glad to hear of the greater prevalence O
this gravel complaint in our vicinity.
