sigh came from his bosom, for he
had a near and dear friend aboard
the little packet. can emigrant
ship, " said another, how can any
captain of an emigrant ship know so
well his way into this harbor ~
Besides, emigrant ships do not
come to Liverpool, A pause en-
sued, during which one with a
quick eye was gazing through the
best glass the town afforded he
was on one knee resting his tele-
scope, when he suddenly sprang on
his feet, and declared that Captain
Bass was among the passengers
"Nonsense, " was the increduIous
cry, Captain Bass aud the Liver
pool Packet are at the bottom Of the
sea, and will there remain ill the
day Of resurrection. F" Not daunted
by their incredibly, he SAID GIVE
me the trumpet, | will speak the
brig in a few moments she will be
near enough. What brig is
that ~ The response was given
" Are you Captain Bass" Yes"
was the reply A few words suiIiced
to reveal that the vessel had been
blown off, and for many days went
before the wind with great rapdity.
As the gale abated, Captain Bass
found he could better reach the
West Indies than he could get back
with So small and so crowded a yes
sci. Using their provisions econo-
mically, and stalking their thist with
the cider and the barrels of apples
that were on board, they reached
Barbados. There the captain sold
his sloop, bought the brig, and came
back safe Nth all his passengers ~
The joyful news flew through
the town with the rapidty Of light
ming, and ere the vessel could be
brought to the wharf, the entire
population Of the place had assem-
bled to meet and embrace their
friends. 1t would be in vain to de-
serbs such a scene-all were IN
mourning-yet all with a smile of
JOY beaming in their countenances.
As the long lost friends aud relatives
leaped on shore, fathers, mothers,
aud brothers, were locked IN each

tears Of joy,
But how was such scene to end
how could 1t, or how ought it to
end with a moral aud Christian peo-
pie : There is IN the depths of the
fountain of the human heart an ever.
living spring, from which flows its
purest and most sacred emotions
There arises the principle Of relg-
ion, the scene of Accountability to
God and love for all his goodness.
This lmpulsive feeling came forth
in gush of spontaneous gratitude,
and the tears and sobs had scarcely
ceased when with one sudden inn
pulse the whole assemblage sank on
their knees, and in a burst of pious
fervor poured out thanks to that
great and merciful Being who had so
singularly preserved theni-and who
holds US in the hollow of his hand.

costume Of his country, to- wit: a
straw hat and a cigar. The young
sovereign said that his father, the
old King Bob was very drunk when
he sold his lands to Capt Sheppard,
of Greytown, and that therefore the
grant or sale was invalid. This is
the grant which Col. Kinney has
purchased, and under which he
claims a vast region Of territory. 1t
is about as valid as the English
claim to Greytown and the Mosqui-
to coast, and neither party appears
to have consulted the government of
Nicaragua, the only real and undoubt-
ed owner. This old King Bob, by
the way was curiosity. He was
excessively fond OF run and tobacco,
in which he was supplied by the
English from Jamaica. About the
time the latter first began to turn
their serious attention to the acquisi-
ton OF territory IN Central America,
King George the Third sent his sa-
bic brother a richly ornamented
generals coat and cooked hat
King Bob was excessively delighted
with his present. and took every oc-
casion to exhibit himself IN his new
dress. The captain of the English
war vessel which conveyed the pres
ent, wishing to do honor to its re-
cipleut of his soverelgn's bounty,
gave grand entertainment on board
and invited King Bob and his court
to be present. The latter came, and
as they approached the vessel the
captain was grathed to perceive
that King Bob was dressed M the
coat aud hat he had just received.
But what was the astonlshment aud
CONSERVATION of all to perceive, when
he boarded the vessel, that he had
nothing else on The ludlcrous APP
pearance which the old Indian must
have presented, dressed in a richly
laced red coat with the tails hang
ing down behind, and a full plumed
cooked hat, and no other article
whatever can be better imagined
than described. HIS court OF course
wore only the usual straw hat
