their friends are to return, and all are
hoping for tidings from the absent
Soon the name of the ship is an
nounced. And then there is an eager
contention with the boys to be the first
bearer of the joyful tidings to the wife
of the captain. For which service a
silver dollar is the established and in
variable fee. And who can describe
the feelings which must then agitate the
bosom of the wife? Perhaps she ha:
heard of no tidings from the ship fol
more than a year. Trembling with ex,
citement, she dresses herself to meet
her husband. is be alive?' she says
to herself, 'or am l a widow, and the
poor children orphans?' She walks about
the room unable to compose herself
sufficiently to sit down; eagerly is she
looking out of the window and down
the street. She sees a man with hur-
ried step turn the corner, and little boy
hold of his hand. Yes, it is he. And
her little son has gone down to the boat
and found his father. Or, perhaps, in
stead of this, she sees two of her neigh
bors returning slowly and sadly, and
directing their steps to her door. The
blood flows back upon her heart. They
rap at the door. 1t is the knell of her
husbands death. And she falls sense
less to the floor, as they tell her that
her husband has long since been en-
tombed in the fathomless ocean.
This is not fiction. These are moi
extreme cases which the imagination
creates. They are facts of continued
oceurrence-facts which awaken emo
tions to which no pen can do justice.
A few weeks ago a ship returned 10
this island, bringing the news of an,
other ship, that was nearly filed with
oil, that all on board were well, and
that she might be expected in neigh
boring port in such a month. The wife
of the captain resided in Nantucket, and
early in the month, with heart throb-
bing with affection and hope, she went
to greet her husband on his return. At
length the ship appeared, dropped her
anchor in the harbor, and the friends of
the lady went to the ship to escort the
husband to the wife from whom he had
been so long separated. Soon they
sadly returned with the tidings that her
husband had been seized with the coast
fever, upon the island of Madagascar,
and when about week out, on his re-
turn home, he died and was committed
to his ocean burial. A few days after

little daughter in their destined home of

breaks in upon the scene, and Fate, with
his iron hand, rends the happy picture.
The youthful foreigner has been ex-
changed, and a summons comes de-
manding his presence in his regiment.
The duty is a sad one, but his honor
compels him to yield, and the lady, wor-
thy of his chivalrous heroism, bids him
go, as she would be the last to wither
his laurels. Never went forth mailed
knight followed by prayers of greater
LONELINESS, or accompanied by blessings
of superior beauty. Their parting was
scene of woe and tenderness. The fu-
ture was a blank, with no landmark
that might show them where to hope
Danger and death hovered on the hori-
zon, and gloomy uncertainty racked the
present. The lover was to bear arms
against his betrothed's brother, and the
two friends were to assume to each 9TH
er the deadly front of war. But they
parted, duty pointed to each his course.
Ere the lovers separated, however, they
pledged themselves to remain faithful to
each other, and, in the event of hap
py reunion, to become united in we'd
lock. With mingled hopes and fears
the Briton FASTENED to his regiment,
leaving a sad vacuum in the circle where
he had brought so much sorrow. But
his noble heart was soon doomed to sink
beneath blow that, at once and for
ever, prostrated-his hopes of happiness,
and consigned them to the grave where
lay buried his love. But a few weeks
after the departure of the officer, the
young lady was stricken down by an
epidemic, which ravaged alike on the
young, the hopeful and the beautiful, as
it did on the withered and the de6led,
and her hopeful page of life was closed
suddenly and forever!

Hon. Oscar F. MooRx.-It Is with
feelings of pleasure that we place at our
masthead the name of the Hon. Oscar
+. Moore, of Scioto. as candidate for
Congress in the Tenth District. For
eleven years he has been a citizen of
Portsmouth, beloved and cherished as
her most honored inhabitant. In the
practice of the legal profession he has
won for himself an enviable name, and
is represented by members of the bar
as being without rival in the District.
His mind is clear and logical, and he is
proverbial among his colleagues for
grasping the strong points of case as
if by intuition. He may not be called
an eloquent man, in the usual accepta-
ton OF that term, but for clearness of
intellect, terseness of logic. subtlety of
thought and concisensss Of expression,
he has few superiors. He possesses
that earnestnsss of mind, which, to think
ing men, is the highest eloquence. All
his life long he has been most efficient
and energetic Wing. His personal pop
ularity is almost without limit. Agree
able both in person and manners, affa-
bic and genial to all and generous to a
fault, he has encircled himself with
hosts of friends that are neither limited
to sect or party. When a candidate for
the House he outrun his party nearly
four hundred votes; and when a candi-
date for the Senate, in q Democratic
District, notwithstanding a strong local
question was against him, he was trinm-
phantly elected. His course in both
branches of the Legislature was marked
by distinguished ability. His speech
on the Bank Taxation question was sd-
mitted by all parties to have been by
far the ablest speech of the session.
Mr.. Moore is about "a years of age, of
fine personal appearance. We cannot
but feel that he combines the elements
of success, in the contest, superior to
any man that could have been placed in
the feld.-Seioto Gazette.

TOUCHING INCIDENT The following
is an extract from letter written by a
sailor in the Baltic feet to his wife in
England. The Incidents narrated with
that simplicity and purity of expression
which conveys every idea and image in
the most effective manner:
"Every man on board volunteered, so
the captain picked a crew, and l was
sent ashore with the marines. There
were regular troops on the bank who
fired on us as we pulled to land, but the
broadsides of the -, what with the
shell and what with the smoke, covered
our landing We dispersed at few
hundred yards distance from the beach
to. keep the coast clear while the boats
crew made prizes of the guns. The
enemy had the advantage of the wood,
and also knowing the country well, and
troop of them showed in advance
We were ordered to fire. took steady
aim, and fired on my man at about 60
yards. He fell like stone.

the enemy disappeared, we could scarce
tell how. feltas though must 60 up
to him, to see whether he was dead or
alive. He lay quite still, and 1 was
more afraid of him lying so than when
he stood facing me few minutes before.
It's a strange feeling to come over you
all at once that you have killed man.
He had unbuttoned his jacket, and was
pressing his hand over the front Of his
chest where the wound was. He
breathed hard, and the blood poured
from his mouth every breath he took
His face was white as death, and his
eyes looked so big and bright as he
turned them and stared at me; shall
never forget it. He was fine young
fellow, not more than FIVE and twenty.
l went down on my knees beside him,
and my breast was so full, as though
my heart would burst. He had real
English face, and did not look ike an
enemy.
"What felt / never can tell, but if
my life would have saved his, believe
l should have given it. l laid his head
on my knee, and he grasped hold of my
hand and tried to speak, but his voice
was gone. l could not tell word he

to say that was worse than he, for be

it. His eyes were closing when a gun
was fred from the to order US
aboard. and that aroused him. He
pointed to the beach, where the boat
was Just pushing off with the guns we
had taken, and where our marines were
waiting to man the second boat, and
then he pointed TO the wood where the
enemy was concealed. Poor fellow he

HoME.-"A pleasant journey to you;
remember me to those ct homep
So spoke young man in our hear
ing to friend who was about to visit
his native town. As he turned away,
we could perceive the workings of the
remembrance of home, and the enjoy
ment of early life, rising up in his
memory, and in rapid and brilliant
panorama, pressing before his recollec-
ton. 'HOnsP Were his parents there,
with whose images were entwined the
earliest, fondest memories? Did they
not rise up before him with their silver
locks waving in the wind as he saw
them watching his last departure?--
That sister-the earliest playmate Of
his childhood and the dearest and near
est friend Of his boyhood--was not her
bright but fearful face before him like
rose washed in dew? 'Romep How
swift the mind few from the dusty,
noisy, busy streets, back to the shadow
ing tress Of the old homestead-to the
clear brook bubbling through the green
meadows-to the lowing of the distant
cows in the sunny morning as they
moved lazily along to their pastures on
the hill-side-to the twittering OF the
martins in the box which he had made
himself for them by his chamber win
dow-to all those images of country
home which he had relinquished in all
its health and invigoration, for the con-
tract of the fevery city, the life struggle
which can only be terminated by the
grave. Remember me to those at hoDae'
Did he think then of that blushing face,
and that sweet voice, pouring forth that
gush of rich music, in the little gallery
of the humble church? or of those
moonlight walks, by the silver streamlet
when young love first beat in his breast2
was she included in this memory Of
blessedness?
Young mani cherish these memories,
if you would escape the contaminations
around you. Let the feeling-'remem-
Der me to those at homsP come into
your heart, when tempted to join the
drunken orgies of the midnight reVel.
Let your conduct be so blameless and
so useful that you can never feel your
cheek tingle with shame that would
prevent you from saying, remember
me to those at homel'-Rdrgord Cour.

SOMETHING TO BE REMEMBERED.-We
should make it a private principle to
extend the hand of friendship to every
man who discharges faithfully bis duties
and maintains good order-who mani
tests deep interest in the welfare Of
general society-whose department is
upright, and whose mind is intelligent
without stopping to ascertain whether
he swings hammer or draws thread:
There is nothing so distant from all
natural claim, as the reluctant, the back
ward sympathy, the forced smile' the
checked conversation, the hesitatlng
compliance, which the well of are apt
to manifest to those little lower down,
with whom. in the comparison Of intel
lect and principles of virtue, they sink
into insignihcance.

Volume XIX.

E The following humorous poem
was read by the inimitable SAKE. before
the Psi Epsilon Society of yarmouth
College, during the recent commence
ment exercises of that institution:
Dear Brsthren, 1 rise-and it won't be sur
prising
If YOU find me, like bread, all the better for
rising,
Irise TO express my exceeding delight
In our cordial reunion, this glorious night,
And invoke every blessing a true hearted
brother
In fullness of feeling can ask for another.
And here let me pause for moment, to say
In negative, less than a positive way,
(Like Parson beginning his doctrinal task,)
What blessings for each would specially ask:
May you ne'er get in love or in debt, with a
doubt,
Asto whether or no you will ever get out;
May you ne'er have mistress who plays the
coquette,
Or neighbor who blows on cracked clario-
net;
May you learn the first use of lock On your
door,
And ne'er, like Adonis, be killed By bore;
Shun canting and canters with resolute force,
A "canter" is shocking, except in horse;
At jovial parties mind what you are at,
Beware of your head and take care of your hat,
Lest you find that the fayorite son Of your
mother
Has an ache in the one and brick in the
other;
May you never, 1 pray, to worry your life,
Have weak minded friend, or strong minded
wife;
A tailor distrustful, or partner suspicious;
A dog that is rabid, or nag that is vicious;
Above all-the chief blessings the Gods can
impart-
May you keep clear head and a generous
heart.
Remember It's blessed to give and forgive;
Live chiefly to love, and love while you live,
And dying. when ife's little journey is done,
May your last, fondest sigh, be PSI UPsIIoN.

TIE ANGEL OF THE ASSEMBLY.

I met her at the Chinese Rooms,
She wore a wreath of roses,
She walked in beauty like the night,
Her breath was like sweet posies.
I led her through the festive hall,
Her glance was soft and tender;
She whispered gently in my ear,
"Say, Mose-ain't this bender!"
