Old hero whose nanv years of sea service en-
title him to more than passing notice. When
the present writer was snooZing in his cradle,
William ii. Riley was singing his hammock
on board an American frigate; and while half
our groWn-up readers We're tOddng around In
pettlcOatS, Riley was petty officer of the Mae
edonlan, and was On his way to assist Commo-
dore Perry In opening the port of Japan. Since
that time, he has served in various capacities
and on board almost every description of naval
vessel. The breaking out of the rebellion found
him at work on his farm in Dresden. Literally
leaving his pillow IN the furrow, the patriotic
sallor,-then well advanced in years,-hastened
TO the nearest naval rendezvous and was at
once assigned to iuty on board gunboat.
Near the close of the war he returned TO Dres-
den where he at present lives on small farm,
and in the enjoyme ut of a moderate pension, to
which no man living; is more suily entitled. Rath-
er below medium size, his wiry form still betok-
ems fair share Of strength and endurance.
Time has managed 20 tinge his locks and whis-
kerS with gray, but mas failed to dim the bright
ness OF his eye, which is as black and keen as Il
hawks. 10 see the veteran parading with his
comrades is delightful sight, and one that we
would walk mile any day to witness. Riley is
