sembOnce to the last lingering strain borne
from Eonn harps while the sporting zephyrs

the ocean wave sends back the echo to the ear
of the sailor boyWhose brow hath already been
exposed to the iSming rays of a tropical sun
Far, far away from that cherished parent he
thinks of that unceaslng affection, that pure

mothers love whi3pereth the wave. All, that
love is a talsman to him; it keeps him from
acts he might otherwise commit:

Let the jar, pitcher or vessel used for wa

As the cat springs toward the mouse, the latter
is removed, and keeping constantly al the orig

rapIdity. The prodigious Velocity produced
by the rapacity of the cat in its futile endeav-
ors to overtalte the mouse, can only be mag
ined by one who has seen the attachment in
full operation.
1t is thus that man shows his supremacy
over the brute creation, by making even their
rapacious instincts subscrvant to his use.
