THE DREAMS OF LIFE.

All men are dreamers; from.the hour
When reason first exerts her power,
Undmindful of its bitter sting,
To some deceiving home we cling
That hopes dreaa!
The brazen trumpet's clangor gives
The Joy on which the warrior lives
And Ut his injured country's call
He leaves his home, his friends, his all
For glory's dream
The lover hangs on some bright eye,
And dreams Of bliss in every sigh
But brightest eyes are deep in guile
And he who trusts their fekle smile
Trusts in dream.
The poet, Natures darling child,
By Fame all dazzling star beguiled,
sings Loves alternate hope and fear.
Paints visions which his heartbolds den
And thus he dreams!
And there are those who build their joy
On proud Ambitions gilded toys,
Who fain would climb the tragy heigh
Where Power displays its splendidligh
But dreaming fall
While others, mid the giady throng
OF Pleasures victims, sweep along;
Till feelings, damp'dand satiate heart
Too worn TO feel when bliss departs
Prove all q dream
Aud when the chilly hourof fear,
Deaths mandate, hurtles In the eag;;
We find, would we retraee the past
E'cn Life, at best, now fading fast-
Is all dream

THE LAST nuLLET.
An 1ScIDEST OF COMMODORE sTEwART
ALGERiNE EXPERIENCE.

Es IA
The Uuited States ship ef-war Con
stenation vas anchored in the hafboF Of
Algiers, whittier she Lad proceeded
under command Of Commodore Preble,
having on board among other officers,
Charles Stewart, then, an acting lisa-
tenant, and the man the old Connlo-
dore looked to for assistance in fighting
the Algerians.
II was the watch of young Stewart,
and ba was pacing 10 and fro on Che
deck about half an hour after sru9et,
when be saw small boat containing
a single person, coming of from sbe
Old Port, as the Western part Of she
town!is called, and heading directly for
the ship.
This person was rowing with all bis
might, and Stewart was net long in dis
covering the cause. Close behind the
single boatman was seen a large sallee
rover filed with men, whose presence
was announced by continuai firing al
him of whom they were iu such deter.
mined pursuit,-holding on their way
until they we're under the very guns o
the ship.
Now, by my soul cried Stewart
'mayI be shot ii do not teach these
fellows lesson. Stand by, Mr.. Rogero,
he added, addressing a favolite gusiner
to throw little grape into that fellow,
An instant later, wreath Of snok,
curled up from the shore side If th
vessel, and as the report went booslsini
over the water, the iron messenger pe
its way, crashing into the pursuing boa
severely wounding two or three of he
crew. She Instantly turned 70 pl
back at the same tune that the fllgitiy
reached his destination aud came II
the side into the presence Of the afIiae
Of the deck.
BE was an elderly man with stou
frame and brownish features: but it al,
not require but a single glance fFou
the lieutenant to see that be was {
English Of American descent. As 500
as he vas sufficiently recovered iron
his over exertion to breathe, be went O
e tell his story, to which Stewart i
ispsd with much excitement.
The new casner was an America
citizen, named james Collins, d nasiv
Of New York, who with his wife au,
daughter bad been taken from al
American vessel at the same time d
its commander and crew, Two year

Stewart and his men. 1t was aslo at
the same moment that the old Moor
who had 50 long considered himself
the proprietor of Mr.. Collins and his
daughter, came to the window and set
up startling yell
This way' cried Mr.. Collins, and he
dashed open the front door ofthe build
ing, and conducted the entire party
within. Look to your weapons, and
take the rascals off their pins the instant
they halt!'
A sharp and determined struggle
soon commenced, in the course of which
half the Moorish soldiers were killed,
and the remainder finally gave way.
But the rescuers had expeeded all O
their ammunition, and only single
bullet was remaining--that was in
large horse-pistoi, in the possession Of
Lieut.. Stewart. He was jus. wonder
ing what be should do with it, when the
old Moor came down stairs, with huge
sabre in his grasp, and made furious
dash at Mr.. Collins and bis daughter
with murder written on his features and
flashing from his ayes. This sudden
arrival decided the destination of tie
last bullet.
Take it, you black devilp 7 cried
Stewart, just as the fearful blow was
descending, and he fred his weapon,
the ball passing through the miscre-
ants head, and bringing him dead to
the floor.
Now boys, added Lieut.. S., we are
going to finish with a hand to hand
fight. The powder and bali are out;
We must trust to the swordpl
Closely followed by bis men, as well
as BY Mr.. Collins and Alice, the Lieut.
led the way toward The boat. 1t seem
ed as if Algiers had turned out to wit
ness thu triumphant retreat the streets
being filed with thousands of men and
women that had collected together by
the brief contest at the Moor's house,
but no attempt was made to intercept
the progress of the party, the Algeriuea
contenting themselves with scowls and
denuneiations, Ten minntes later, the
reseners were at the cutter. Twenty
minutes more the entire party safely
back to the Constellation, not having
lost a man. The young Lieutenant re-
ceiyed the hearty thanks Of his supe-
rior, to say nothing Of tie gratitude O
Mr. Collins and his daughter, whose
family proved to be Of consequence in
| New York; and we are assured that
Charley Stewart was never happier ii
hislife than when Miss Alice was united
to one of his 'chuins' a noble b arted
Lieutenant, now a commodore, who fell
in love with the rescued maiden during
the constellation's homeward passage
