AN INCIDENT OF THE LAST WAR-At the
entertainment given at Philadelphia to the
Western Boards of Trade, Commodore
Stuart, (Old Ironsides) was induced to mar
rate the following Renaissance;
Said the Commodore;
Since you have forced me to relinquish
my natural modesty, l will do this much, l
will narrate the anecdote correctly, as Just
fold you by my friends. The two ships were
the Cyane and Levant, sent to take the Consti-
tuition. They were both commanded by
Captains who had won dictinction at Trafal-
gar and the Nile, Captains Falcon and Doug
las. After the Constitution had taken both
ships, and their Captains were on board the
Constitution, GOODNESS existed between
them, in consequence of the capture. Each
accused the other of bearing out of the
action and leaving the brunt to his associate
This question they agreed to leave to me,
and settled it in moment. "It was you
Captain Douglass" said |, to the senior
officer, "who first bore out of action" They
were satisfied, and shook hands together.
While they were further discussing the mat
ter and deploring their defeat, said |, "Gen-
tlemen, did you expect to take the Constitu-
on with those two ships? Why, you went
on board of them this morning. and said
they were in as good order as before the
action. Now, if yon like, will send you
back to them, give you your men and officers,
and take you both orer again. Take the Con-
stitution with two ships? Why you couldn't
do it with dozen. This is the Constitution
of the United States. You may sink it, and
sink US with it, but you couldn't take it with
all your Kings fleet" So afraid were the
British Admiralty of the Constitution, that
they dare not trust single frigate alone, but
compelled the Levant to wait until the Cyane
was ready to sail in company.

eWHAT's THAr?" asked Mrs. Partington,
looking up at the column of the Place Ven
dome, during her late visit to Paris. 'The
pillars of Napoleon" was the answer.
ttWell, never did" she exclaimed; "and
that's his pillow! He was great man to
nse that but it's more like bolster. And
il is iron, do believe. All, Isaac, see what
it is to be great How hard his head must
have rested on that ironical pillow"

AT l., one Saturday evening, fatigued
BY his long journey, a WAGNER, with his son
John, drove his team into a good range, de-
termined to pass the Sabbath enjoying a
season of worship with the good folks of the
village. When the time of worship arrived
John was set to watch the team, while the
wagner went in with the crowd The
preacher had hardly announced his subject,
before the old man fell asleep. He sat
against the partition in the centre of the
body slip; just against him sat a feshy lady,
who seemed all absorbed in the sermon
She struggled hard with her feelings, until,
unable to control them longer she burst out
with loud scream, and shouted at the top
of her voice: rousing the old man, who but
half awake, thrust his arms around her
waist, and cried very soothingly: "Wo,
Nanceh b wo, Nance wo Here, Johnln call
ing to his son-"cut the belly-b band and
loose the breeching, quick, or she'll tear
every thing to pieces p 1t was all the work
of a moment; but the sister forgot to shout,
and the preacher lost the thread of his dis
course, and the meeting came prematurely
to an end; while deeply mortified the poor
old man skulked away, determined not to
go to meeting again, until he could manage
to keep his senses by remaining awake.

THE GOLDEN GATE.

Far away to the bright Southwest,
Where the sunset clasps the sea,
Where the broad Pacifcs billowy breast
Heaves and means in wild unrest,
turn, bright land, to thee!
And dream of thy skies and thy melodies
Comes to my soul with the cheer
That soft winds bring in the early spring,
Saying that summer is near.
So, Golden Gate!
turn to thee, with a heart elate.
Twas thought poet heart might claim,
o, Southwest land of ours
Togive thy rock-bound shores name,
To live alike in song and fame,
With glowing skies and flowers.
To thy billowy bay is a royal way,
That leads to a land of gold;
And the sea-lions guard with watch and ward,
Thy shining stores untold,
o, Golden Gate!
Oped to a land in promise great.
Ships more precious than argoSies
Of orient climes have gone,
Freighted with life and its mysteries,
To breast the storms of Southern seas,
And the blast of fierce Cape Horn.
BY the desolate shore of the Land of Fire,
Till the broad Pacifc's swell
Bore them away to the sparkling bay
Of the land love so we'll
The Golden Gate,
Where the myriad ships of the nations wait.
Oh hath not every soul dream
Of Southwest land that lies
In light more pure than the golden CLEAN
That out of the gates of the West may stream,
Or the mornings Orient dyes:
These silvery chimes are tuneful rhymes,
Which poets sung of old,
And the sparkling sand of whose distant
strand
Is bright with sunset gold
The Golden Gate,
Where dreams, like ships at anchor, wait.
Such, Land of Song art thou to me;
From Northland bleak and cold
/ send my barque, and its freight shall be
All blessed hopes and the melody
That minstrel lips have told.
o, beautiful land, with thy golden strand,
Shining forevermore-
Sweet land of song have loved so long,
shall yet regain thy shore
At thy Golden Gate,
Like an anchored barque, my soul shall wait
