No sooner was the newer love within
her bosom born, that Jones was looked
upon by her with hatred and scorn She
said twas true his ancestor was famous

SO then they got at Capt. Jones and
hacked him with a sword, and chopped
him into little bits, and tossed him over
board. The chaplain read the service,
and the captain Of the bark, before the

The chaplain turned the prayer. book

they swore.to honor to obey, to cherish,
and to love. And, freighted full Of hap
piness, across the oceans foam, the
schooner gIided rapidly toward the pi
rates home.
And when of ecstacy and Joy their
hearts could hold no more that pirate
dropped his anchor down and rowed his
love ashore And As they sauntered up
the street he gave his bride poke, and
said In them there mansions live the
friends of whom | spoke. "

and tore her hair, and filled the air with
groaus, and cursed with bitterness the
day she let them cut up Jones
And when shc had spent on him the
venom Of her tongue she seized her pon-

A few more energetic jabs were at his
heart required, and then this scandalous
buccancer rolled over and expired.
Still brandishing her parasol, she
sought the pirate boat; she loaded up
gun and jammed her head into its throat:
and fixing fast the trigger, then with string

Her hands are cold her face is white;
O more her pulse, come and gui
Her eyes are shut to life and light;
Fold the white Nesture, snow on snow,
And lay her where the Niolets blow
But not beneath craven stone,
To plead for tears with alien eyes;
As a slender cross of wood alone
Shall say that here a maiden lies
In peace beneath the peaceful skies,
And gray old trees Of highest limb
Shall wheel their cirClinR shadows round,
To make the scorchlng sunlight dim,
That drinks the greenness from the ground
And drop their dead leaves on her mound.
When Ger their bough the squirrels run,
And through their leaves the robins call,
And ripenIng in the autumn sun,
The acorns and the chesnuts fall,
Doubt not that she will Aeed them all.
For her the morning ehoir'Shall sing
Its mathis from the bran PC he high,
And every minstrel voice + spring,
That thrills beneath the April sky,
Shall greet her with its earliest cry.
When, turning round thcir.dial track,
Eastward the lengthcniug shadows pass,
Her little mourners, clad in black,
The crickcts sliding through the grass,
Shall pipe for her an evening mass.
Al last the rootlets of the trees
Shall find the prison whore she lies,
And bear the buried dust they seize
In leaves and blossoms to the skies,
So may the soul that warmed il rise
Ifany, born Of kindlicr blood,
should ask, What maiden lies below
Say only this A tender bud,
That tried to blossom in the snow,

An Embarrassing Mistake.

The Raleigh IN. C.) Nesos is RESPONSE
BILE for the following " Y ears ago there
lived in Warren county a good and
pious minister of the Methodist Church,
the Rev. Mr.. Burge. His young eight
year-old hopeful, Watty, was mischiev
ously addicted to the habit of purloining
from his mothers closet sugar from the
dish. Remonstrance, both by the father
and mother, proved of no avail, and
though Watty protested his Innocence,
the old lady said she would watch for
him and chastise him. The Rev. DR..
Gloss, then presiding elder of the con-
ference district, in passing through the
section halted at Mr.. Burgess to spend
the night. He was assigned to a room
adjoining the closet, the scene of young
Watty's depredations. At the first dawn
Of day on the following morning the
reverend gentleman arose from his couch
and repaired to the closet, door OF
which opened into his room, to attend
to bis morning devotions, and, unfortu
nately for him, knelt near the usual
position of the sugar-dish. at this mo-
memt Mrs. Burge had occasion to visit
the closet, and quietly opening the door,
discovered Watty in the very act, as she
thought. Highly incensed, she admin
istered several severe raps upon the de-
voted bald head of the presiding elder
before she discovered her mistake, add
ing, at the same time, : / have caught
you stealing. the sugar at last, have l 2?
1t is unnecessary to add that Watty was
the only person on the premises who
enioyed the scene that ensued."

The English Parliament on Horse
Racing. tfF s4esy syi.

A lively sensation was creatad in the
British House of Commons, on the event.
ing Of the 28th ult., by bold protest,
from Tom Hughes against horse-racing
and the usual adjournment of Parlia-
ment for the Derby dayoi Mr. Hughes, a.
on rising to oppose the motion made
by Mr. Gladstone, to adjourn, was re-,
ceived with ironical cheers and laugh
ter. He pointed to the fact that tbe,L
House adjourned only two hours on As.os
cension Day for divine worship, and now
propose to adjourn twenty-four hours for
the Derby. 1t was incompatible with q
the dignity of the Commons to recog- 9,
nize horse racing. English race courses 2
had introduced the most corrupt and %,
insidious system of gambling which had "a
ever disgraced any country. While he 8
was opposed to this species of amuse- {,
nent, he believed in many sports, like
international boat-races, cricket, and
other salutary competitions of human
strength and pluck, and thought they
should be encouraged The notion for
adjournment was carried by vote CT
