AT THE BALL.
BY J. F. BOWMAN.

Tho music swells, the dancers move, The laugh and jest go gaily round,- But oh ! my truant fancies rove And scarce hear the festive sound. 1 think of one who far away
 Is numbered with the patriot band Whose hearts, percbance, have bled to day For freedom and their native land
 For freedom and their native land
 God keep our absent ones who strike
 For freedom and their native land The music throbs with pulse more strong Ohce he was foremost in the dance, And none could boast in pleasnre's throng lighter foot-a blither glance. But when the storm of battle burst And Treason barred the ready brand, His sword flashed forth among the first For freedom and his native land
 For freedom and his native land
 Sweet be their sleep who bravely fall
 For freedom and their native land And still, as on my absent ear The music falls with louder swell, seem the cannon's boom to hear, The hissing shot, the shrieking shell! Even while the giddy waltz reels by ln battles front see him stand - Heaven guard my hero while he strikes For freedom and his native land
 For freedom and our native land
 God keep our dear ones in the strife
 For freedom and our native land .

RoMAScE.-The traveller who has been
fortunate as to sit beside an unknown beuuty
In railway carriage, and his conversational
powers brought into play by her spirit OF socia-
bility can comprehend the bliss OF good look
ing bachelor, whose car adventure we are about
to relate. This gentleman was passenger on
car that was pretty we'll stocked with humanity.
He had managed to reserve a seat from the COM
mencement of the journey, until the tram
reached a station, where some new passengers
entered, when he surrendered it to an old lady.
Now it happened that young and stylish lady
noticed the act, and so pleased was she to see an
old lady treated politely, that she at once re-
moved her carpet-bag from the end of the seat
she occupied and invited the gentleman to take
its place. Nothing 10th, our hero accepted the
modest invitation, and was soon engaged In a
friendly conversation with the belle of the train.
They chatted in lively style until dark, when the
iady's uttterance grew slower, then indistinct,
and then altogether ceased for she was asleep.
Not being dis posed to follow her example, the
gentleman a muscd himself by watching his fel-
low passengers, and was reminded of his COM
panion's presence by her head touching his
shoulder. Morpheus had her completely in his
folds, and by series of graceful mods, she un-
consciously sought the support of her railroad
acquaintance. The bachelor was delighted with
the first gentle touch but his pleasure, when in
the abandonment of sleep. her form nestled
down entirely upon him, battles description
The better to support his lovely burden, he placed
his arm around her waist and gave himself up
to the delirium of the moment
After passing the next station gentleman en-
tered the car containing the couple referred to-
and commenced examining the faces of each oc-
cupant though he was in search of some
friend In the darkness of the hour he passed
the sleeper and her supporter without noticing
them and it was only when he turned to re-
trace his steps that the attracted his atten-
ton. In a moment the shade of anxiety on his
features was succeeded by frown and he step
ped quickly to the side of the fair sleeper AS
his hand descended heavily on her shoulder, she
started, opened her eyes, and sprang to her feet,
81 blushing celestial rosy red.' Before the bach
eor could speak, the newcomer politely informed
him that he could take of his own wife, if
he had no objections, and straghtway led the
lady to another seat. The explanation that fol-
lowed unfolded the fact that the lady had been
absent on visit for some time and was then
returning to the faithful husband whose impa-
tience led him to meet her half way. Eager to
meet her, he had entered the car only to find
her in the arms of stranger Of course the
stranger told how it happened, but the frown
did not pass away from the brow of the husband
until they left the Ladies should be care
full how they fall asleep on the wrong vest pat
tern.

Denmark, may be seen daily at the Navy Yard
who earns his livelihood by rowing people from
the docks to the vessels in the stream. He is
about forty years of age, and has been at sea
ever since the age of nineteen. He has been in
the United States service for twenty years. and
was retired for disability few months ago. He
could enter the Naval Asylum if he would
Years ago, when sick and penniless, a woman
much his senior nursed and cured him. She is
now old and helpless, and the grateful sailor,
foregoing the ease that he might enjoy in the
asylum, labors for her support. He is her only
dependence, and while he is able to pull an oar
he declares the old woman shall have home
and living. He shipped on board the United
States sloop-of-war Germantorn nineteen years
and seven months ago. He served in the China
seas on board the Levant, under Captain Smith
He ran the gauntlet of the Port Hudson batteries,
under Commodore Farragut. His nose was shot
off, and one of silver has been substituted. The
operation has been beautifully done, for only by
close inspection can the addendum be discerned
A silver plate has been inserted to supply part
