The Boat Ride.
BY l.. j. BATES.

Nv love and I went sailing;
Che breeze blew fair and free:
We flonted onward outward,
Into the silent sea
The blue waves Of the ocean
Laughed low along the shore;
But we did not hear their music,
And we knew not of their roar.
Our boat went dropping, dropping,
She driftcd toward the moon
And DER the sparkling waters
The light fell fair aboon
Fell sweetly on the ocean,
And softly on the sand,
But VIC did not see the waters,
And we did not see the lards
Our boat danced lightly, goyly
A waif upon the deep,
That tossed us as a mother
Who rocks her babe sleep;
The tidc-wavcs ripplet Getty,
That bore our bark along:
But VIC did not feel their motion,
And we did not hear their song.
And white sails driftcd by us,
Great ships f-om foreign lands,
And tiny boats, that rarely
Had dared to quit the sands;
And groups of merry rowors'
And some who sailed alone
But we knew not Of their presence,
And the sea was all our own.
We did not hear the rowcrs,
We did not see the sky.
We did not note the vessels
That drifted slowly by:
We knew not OF the waters,
We knew not Of the shore
But we saw and heard each otter,
And we wanted nothing more!

A Thrilling Narrative.

The subjolned narrative, published originally
in Chambers Journal, is said to have been trans
lated from foreign ncwspaper.-lt is neces-
sary to remind the reader that the Island of
Mauritius, appcrtaining at this day to the Eng
lish. was originally coIonized by the French,
and that the population yet consists in a great
measure of persons of that nation to whom, by
formal treaty of the powers concerned, their
ancient laws and usages were preserved with
out any material alterations.
About twelve years ago, the Sicur Colodomir
Frenois, rich merchant Of the Island, was
found dead and frightfully disfgured in his own
habitation. His body was discovered lying on
the floor, with the face and head mutilatcd by
pistol, and all doubts as to the cause of the
catastrophe was dispeled by the discovery of
the fatal weapon by the side of the corpse as
also piece Of paper in the handwriting Of the
deceased. This paper contained the following
words -
II am ruined. A william has robbed me Of
twenty-five thousand livrcs sterling; dshonor
must be my portion and | cannot survive it
Ileave to my wife the task of distributing
among my creditors the means which remain to
us; and pray God. my friends and my enc.
mics may pardon my self destruction. Yet
another minute and | shall be in eternity.
Codomr Frcnois."
Great CONSERVATION was caused by this trag
ic event, which was the more unexpected, as the
loss alluded to in the above note had never
been made public. The deceased had beer
held in great esteem over the colony, as n maj
of strict honor and probity, and was UNIVERSAL j.
lamented. Two months after the sad end, hi
widow entered a convent, leaving to nephew
of the late merchant, a physician, the charge o
completing the distribution Of the effects Of Ere
nos among his creditors.
A minute examination of the papers of thu
defunct led to the discovery of the period whcl
the unfortunate merchant had been robbed an,
shis period was found to correspond with tn
date of the disappearance ola man named job
Moon, being in the employment of Frenois. =
Of this man, on whom suspicion not unnatural
ly fell, nothing could be learned on inquirey
but shortly after the division Of the merchant
property, Moon reappcarcd in the colony
When taken up and examined respecting HI
fight, he stated that he had been sent by hi
master to France to recover certain sums du
to the merchant there, in which mission he ha
been unsuccessful lie further averred that
Coldomir Frenois in his existing CORRESPONDENT
had thrown any injurious suspicious upon hin
the whole was but pretext to account for tt
Deficiencies Of which the merchant himself W,
the cause and author. This declaration, mac
by a man who seemed to fear no inquiry, an
whose worldly circumstances remained to al
