By LIE CLAIR.

One Morn, when the world was gay,
And happy and bright,
When the blue waves danced for joy,
In the morning light.
went with heavy, aching heart
Down to the pier,
Clasped hands and babe farewell
To one most near
All ! as turned my gaze away
From that vessel proud,
Thatsnever more may enter port,
Mid greetings loud;
That never more may bring to me
That friend most true,
That walks her deck with careless step.
Lost to my view
The blue sky smiling, bent above,
Mocking my woe,
The blue waves idly dashed and beet
On the rocks below.
And the low waves answer made,
AS they rippled past.
sSafe to thy arms we'll bring him
Home at last"
Long weary years have waited and watched
That bark to see,
Come drifting into the harbor
From over the sea.
The arms that fain would shield me
From care and pain,
Are tangled mid shells and sea-weed,
In the fathomless main.
That heart so noble and manly,
And true to me,
Lies still and pulseless silence
Meath the dark blue sea.
And 1--we grown old and faded,
And fain would rest.
Meath the billoxy waves Of ocean
That cover his breast
And cry through each purple twilight.
so wicked, cruel sea
GU broke my heart when you parted
My love and me-"

what was going on. So L bought ticket
and slid in. | went to a table where refresh

tcrs, chicken salad and coffee A beautiful
siren, with big black eyes, little white hands
and most bewltchng mouth, spread the
edib.es before me. | don't know how it
was, but / felt strong affinity for that
ministsring angel at once. While eating
and drinking and devouring her with my
eyes in the meantime, we struck up a scat
tering conversation. At last [ rose and
handed her five dollar bill. She put it
in little box and forgot to give me anv
change, but instead, thereof, bestowed a
sweet smile unto me saying:
Are you a stranger in Chicago p
Yes, madam, am from Boston
''Is it pc sibIe !? ! am Bostonian also. y
"Ah! / knew it.
The reply was whispered, but it procur

spooney.

it to her toes, she muruured: we are not

We wandered through that room, talk

Anon a costly work box met our eyes,
but bravely resisted all appeal, until the

track. Leaning heavily on my arm, and
absolutely resting her cheek on my shout

tongue, she said

there was in Milwaukee a man SO green-I

little foolish and said nothing. Shortly
after ne invited quite party out to take
drink, and they supposed that he was
bribing them to keep mum. By the time
the Detroit started everybody knew the
story and Milwauk ee was pointed out as
the eighty dollar victim OF very stale
joke. Again as he asked the party to 60

Cowper came along about this time, and
his only remark was, Il can't help think

A YEARS WORK.

Sitting beside the easement
In the chill December day,
While Twilight, wrapped in her misty veil,
Was sobbing her life awayi
Hearing the tinkle of the beck, ...- <
And the ehirp of the lingering bird
And the whistle of the homebound hind,
And the low Of the distant herd;
Watching the red leaves floating down
From the branches one by one
Thinking Of all that year could do,
OF all that year had done.
Sweet as an April morn it rose, ....g
The love that had failed so soon,
Strewing her path with bright May flowers,
Brilliant and warm as June.
Il dropped in August's feryid smile,
II fell like the years last rose;
She can scarcely trace It's resting-place,
Meath December's deep'ning SHOWS.
The blossoms will bloom into life again
At the call Of the summer sun,
But nor time nor tide can undo for her
What single year has done.
Sitting beside the easement u
Till the stars CLEAN through the frs,
The large tears dropping, slow and cold,
On those folded hands of hers. a.
They glitter as bright iu the red fre-light
As the diamond that she wore
Ere she drew it of, the mocking pledge
OF a troth whose truth was Ger.
The hollow darkness around her crecps;
The days long watch is run;
Aud all that they swore but Death could do,
A little year has done.

morning Of the 2Sth of August, o mes

the intelligence that the British frigate

Tucker knew that the British feared
him, and also that Sir John Sherbrooke Q
had offered n large amount for his cap

When the Commodore received the
intelligence, his vessel was lying at one
of the low wharves where he would have
to wait two hours for the tide to set him
off; but he hastened to have everything
prepared to get her off as soon as posi-.
BILE, for he had no desire to meet the
frigate.
The schooner's keel was just cleared
from the mud, and one of the men had
been sent upon the wharf to cast off the
bowline, when wagon drawn by one
horse came rafting down to the spot.
