WhatSharpy dreams, fair child, are given,
To cast their sunshine o'er thee?
What cord unites that soul to heaven, :
Where visions glide before thee!

Ger thy glad features beaming,
Say, not thought-a form of earth
Alloys thine hour of dreaming.

Thy silent spirit soaring, ~

Where angels are adoring; ~.

Around their Maker praising, -
The joyous heart may join the song
Ten thousand tongues are raising!

A Nautical Yarn.

Dave Cunstables says there is one advantage
about old-fashioned frigates they drag 30 much
dead water behind, that il man falls overheard
Monday you need not stop to pick him up till Fri
day. He never gets beyond a few yards from the
stern-post. In confirmation of this opinion, he re-
fors US TO a well known anecdote connected with
Capt. Pompous, of the frigate Wash Tub.
One evening, while running up the Mediterrane-
an under a one-horse breeze, Pompous came upon
deck Just before shutdown, and entered into the
following conversation with Mr.. Smile, the first
lieutenant:
Il heard little noise on deck just now, Mr..
Smile what was the cause of it?"
g A man fell from the fore-yard, SIR"
Without saying another word, Captain Pomp-
Gus returned TO the cabin, and was not seen
again until next morning after breakfast, when
he once more refreshed the deck with his pres
ence, and entered into conversation with the
Lieutenant
/" / think you told me, Mr.. Smile, that man fell
overheard from the forc-yard last night"
+" / did, sir"
/" Have you picked him up yet?"
-"No, sir.n
"Well, you had better do it sometime during
the morning, or the poor devil will begin to
starve."
The Lieutenant obeyed orders lowered boat
about noon, and found the gentleman who had
disappeared from the foreyard about eighteen
inches further astern than he was fourteen hours
before lie was lying on his back, fast asleep.
