Coon RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE sir,
don't you want a cabin boys"
&c do want cabin boy, my lad, but
what that to yous A little chap like you
amt fit for the BERTH"
''Oh, sir, Tam real strong. 1 can do great
deal of work, if Faint so very DID,"
"But what are you here fnrs You don't
look like bad boy. Run away from home,
hey?'
'Oh, no, indeed, sir my father died and
my mother is very poor, and want to do
something to help her. She let me come
'Well, sonny, where are your letters of re-
commendationF Can't take any boy without
those"
Here was damper. Willie had never
thought of its being necessary to have letters
from his minister, or his teachers, or from
some proper person to prove to strangers that
he was an honest and good boy. Now, what
should he do. He stood in deep thought, the
captain meanwhile curiously watching the
working of his expressive face. At length he
put his hand into his bosom and drew out his
little Bible, and without one word put it into
the captains hand. The captain opened to
the blank page, and read:
"Willie Graham, presented as a reward for
regular and punctual attendance at Sabbath
School, and for his blameless conduct there
and elsewhere. From his Sunday School
Teacher"
Capt. Mcleod was not pious man, but he
could not consider the case before him with a
heart unmoved. The little fatherless child,
standing humbly before him, referring him to
the testimony of his Sunday School teacher,
as it was given in his little Bible, touched
tender spot in the breast Of the noble seaman,
and, clapping Willie heartily on the shoulder,
he said: "You are the boy for me; you shall
sail with me; and if you are as good lad as
think you are, your pockets shan't be emp
ty when you go back to your good mother.

Near to the nest of his little dame

Sphinx, spank. sphinx;
Snug and safe is that nest of ours,
Hidden among the summer flowers.
Chez, chez, chez.
Robert of Lincoln is gaily drest,
Wearing bright black Wedding coat
White are his shoulders and white his crest,
Hear him call in his merry note,-
Bob-o'-link, bob.o'-Iink,
Sphinx, spank, sphinx;
Look what a nice coat is mine,
Sure there was never bird fine.
Chez, chez, chez.
Robert of Lncoln's Quaker wife,
Pretty and quiet, with plain brown wings.
Passing at home patient life,
Broods in the grass while her husband sings
Bob-o'-link, bob-o' link,
Sphinx, spank, sphinx;
Brood, kind creature, you need not fear
Thieves and robbers while am here.
Chez, chez, chez.
Modest and shy as nun is she,
One weak chirp is her only note.
Braggart and prince of braggarts is he,
Pouring boasts from his little throat
Bob-o' link, bob-o' link,
Sphinx SIP INK, sphinx;
Never was l afraid Of man;
Catch me, cowardly knavss, if you can.
Chez, chez, chez.
Six white eggs a bed of hay,
Fecked with purple, pretty sight
There as the mother sits all day,
Robert is singing with all his might
Bob'o-link, bob-o'-lnk,

Nice good wife, that never goes out,
Keeping house while frolic about.

Six wide mouths open for food;
Robert OF Lincoln bestrs him well,
Gathering seeds for the hungry brood.
Bob-o'-link bob-o'-link,
Sphinx, spank, sphinx;
This new life is likely to be
Hard for gay young fellow like me.
Chez, chez, chez.
Robert of Lincoln at length is made
Sober with work and silent with care;
Of is his holiday garment laid,
Half forgotten that merry air,
Bob-o'-link, kob-o-ink,
Sphinx, spank, sphinx;
Nobody knows but my mate and I,
Where our nest and our nestlings lie.
Chez, chez, chez.
Summer wanes; the children are grown;
Fun and froc no more he knows;
Robert of Lincoln's humdrum crone;
Oil he lilies, and we sing as he goes,
Bobo' link, bob-o'-link,
Sphinx, spank, sphinx;
When you can pipe that merry old strain,
Robert of Lincoln come back again.
