A TOUGH SroRY.-1t is related
that during one Of the obstinate ma
val engagements between the English
and the Dutch, in the time Of Crom-
well, one Of the English ships to their
great modification had expended all
their ammunition. The commander,
we'll aware Of the trafiicking propen-
sites of the Dutch, hoisted flag ol
truce and sent an officer on board the
enemy's ship to purchase ammuni-
ton. The Dutch who would never
lose an opportunity to make a good
bargain, without regard to friend OF
foe, after some negotiation, consented
to supply their enemies with powder
and ball; and taking advantage o.
their necessities, demanded an exor
bitant price, which, Of course, Was
paid, after some erumbling. BY Johr
Bull, who, nevertheless, seemed dulJ
sensible Of the favor, and, renewing
the engagement with more. fury than
ever, returned the balls with suel
force and accuracy, that the Dutch
man ives soon placed hors du cOmbal
and compelled to surrender!

List, Dearest, I've a Tale to Tell.

List, dearest, Eve = tale to tell
But not when earth her vigil keeps;
I'd whisper in some shady dell,
Where the Spirit of Silence sleeps;
Where not a rustling leaf is heard,
Or babbling sound Of running rill;
Where at first note from sweet nieht-bird:
The flowers win chide her-"hush, be still p
There, where the soul of Silence dwells,
Where streamlet ware unmurnuring dies,
I'd sigh the tale my bosom swells,
Or softly speak it with my eyes.
And when my passion thus speak, (.
Say, viii it cause a joyous blush
To mantle o'er thy lovely caeek?
And wilt thou bid me-"hush, love, hush.'

Once Genius, and Beauty, and Pleasure. !.
Sought the Goddess Of Art in her shrine;
And prayed her to fashion treasure,
The brightest her skill could combine.
Said the Goddess, well pleased at the notion,
Most gladly I'll work your behest;
From the margin of yonder blue ocean.
Let each bring the gift that seems best"
Beauty fetched from hsr own ocsan-water
The sea-wraik that lay on the strand:
And Pleasure the golden sands brought her
That he stole from Times tremulous hand.
But Genius went tpondering and choosing.
Where gay shells and sea-flowers shine.
Grasped asun-lighted wave in his musing. :
And found his hand sparkling with brine.
otis well. said the Goddess, az smiling.
Each offering she curiously scanned,
On her altar mysteriously .piling,
The brine, and the wraik. and the sand;
Mixing unwith strange spells,as she used than.
Salt, soda. and flint IN mass.
With the fame of the lightning she fused than.
And the marvellous compound was-dLAss!
Beauty glanced at the crystal, half frighted.
Fer stirring with life it was seen,
Till gazing. she blushed all delighted.
As she saw her own image within.
.Henceforth, /" she exclaimed, .'be thou ever
!. The mirrorto Beauty most dear:
Not from steel, or from silver, or river,
Is the reflex SO lustrous or clear"
But Genius the while rent asunder
A fragment, and raising it high.
Looked through it, beholding with wonder

1 know little fairy,
With soft black shining hair,
That looketh 20 bswitchingiy,
As it shades her brow SO fair;
Her laugh is 80 delicious
So knowing, sweet. and clear
You'd never dream Of thinking
There was danger lurking near.
Her dress is plain and simple,

A touch Of something gentle
Awitching, winning charm; sl- -
And whea she sits down by you. s

You'd never dream of thinking
There was danger in herfacs. g
Her voice is soft, melodious-
And lute-like in its tone;
And it often fingers in our ear,
As we sit and muse alone;
And her smile breaks out so gladly
So sunny, bright, and clear,
You'd never dream of thinking ~
There was danger lurking near.
Oh! listen, yet be careful,
IT'S very dangerous part;
Her lips distil the nectar
That doth enslave the heart;
That soft, mild glance, that sparkling eye
Sweet sunny smile--take care!
You may never dream of thinking,
But there's danger lurking there!
