HENRY SAWYER, United State Con-

from injuries received at the hands of q
sailor whom he took cognizance in his
official capacity. At the time Semme
was in command of the privateer
Sumpter, he put In at Surinam for coal
and supplies. Sawyer quietly bought
up all the coal in the city, so that the
rebel commander was unable TO get D
lump. A planter offered 10 furnish
Semmes with "a quantity which he had
on his aeashore estate, whereupOn
Sawyer hired all the scows, punts and
boa,s in the harbor, so that Semmes
was obliged to use his own boots to coal
up with, L1he consequence was tina,
Semmes was detained in the harbor ior
upward ofa week, whereas he intended
to remain only a few hours. In the
meantime Sawyer dispatched a mes
sage to a United States steamer then
lying at Cayene, but the cowardice OF
tresehery of the commander allowed
the Sumpter TO escape to sea again, and
the commander was subsequently cash
Tered for his conduct.

Like a cradle rocking, rocking.

Like cradle rocking, rocking,
Silent, peaceful, to and fro,
Like mothers sweet looks dropping
On the little face below,
Hangs the green earth, swinging, turning,
Jariess, noiseless, safe and slow;
Falls the light of Gods face bending
Down and watching Us below.
And as feeble babes that suffer,
Toss, and cry, and will not rest,
Are the ones the tender mother
Holds the closest, loves the best
So when we are weak and wretcked,
By our sins weighed down, distressed,
Then it is that Gods great patience
Holds US closest, loves US best.
