On the home voyage Of one Of our

being crowded with emigrants. that aw
full scourge, the ship fever, broke out.
The carpenter of the vessel, one of
natures noblemen. and, having on board
his little son. lad of some twelve sum
mers, was one of the first victims
His shipmates sadly enclosed his body
in his hammock, and having read over
him the burial service, and attached to
his feet grindstone, for the purpose of
sinking it, committed it to the embrace
Of old ocean. The poor boy, overcome
with grief at the loss of his natural pro-
tector, sprang overheard, and before he
could be rescued, was beyond the reach
of human aid. .t., ,.,
On the day following the burial 4

with pork, they cast it overheard, and
soon had the exciting pleasure of hook
ing the monster, and with the aid Of the
windlass they hauled the writhing mass
on board. AS it lay on the deck In It's
death struggles, the sailors heard a
singular rumbling noise, that seemed to
proceed from within the dying captive.
Taking ship-axe, they soon cut their
way into the now dead fish, and to their
great surprise, found thatit had s#sl-

POETRY.
MOTHER.


A softening thought Of other years,
A feeling linked to hours,
When Life was all too bright for tears,-
And Hope sang, wreathed with flowers! x
A memory of affections fled
OF voices--heard no more!
Stirred in my spirit when read
That name of fondness o'eri
Oh, MOTHER lin that carly word
What loves and joys combine;
What hopes--too oft, alas l--deferrsd
What vigils--grisf.--are thine!
Yet, never, till the hour we roam,
BY worldly thrals opprest,
Learn we to prize that truest home
A watchful mothers breasti
The thousand prayers at midaigl.l poured
Beside our couch Of woes
Tho wasting weariness endured
To soften OUR repose! ...
Whilst never murmur marked thy tongue
Nor tolls relaxed thy care -
How mother is thy heart go strong
To pity and forbear,
What ilial fondness e'er repaid
Or could repay the past p
Alas for gratitude decay'd
Regrets that rarely last
IT'S only when the dust is thrown
Thy hfeless bosom DER,
Wemuse upon thy kindness shown
And wish we'd shown thee more!
IT'S only when thy lips are cold
We mourn with late regret,
Mid myriad memories of old
The days forever set
And not an act--nor look--nor thought
Against thy meek control,
But with a sad remembrance fraught
Wakes anguish in the soul
On every land--in every cline
True to her sacred cause,
Filled with that e(fulgeuce sublime
From which her strength she draws,
Still is the Mothers heart the same
The Mothers lot as tried;
Then, oh! ! may Nations guard that name
With filial power and pride
