SARAH DOUDNEY.
Return, return" the voices cried,
ITO your old valley, far away;
For softly on the river tide
The tender lights and shadows play;
And all the banks are gay with flowers,
And all the hills are sweet with thyme;
Ye cannot find such bloom as ours
In yon bright foreign clime!"
And still Return, return" they sung,
with ua nbidcs eternal calm;
In these old fields, where you were young,
We Gull the hcart's-ea and the balm;
For us the flocks and herds increase,
And children play around our feet;
AT eve the sun goes down in peace
Return, for rest is sweet"
For me, thought, the olives grow,
The sun lies warm upon the vines;
And yet, l will arise and go
To that dear valley dim with pines.
Old loves are dwelling there, said,
Untouched by years OF change and pain
Old faiths that had counted dead
Shall rise and live again.
Then arose and crossed the sea,
And sought that home OF younger days
No love OF old was left to me
(For love has wings and seldom stays);
But there are graves upon the hill,
And suhbeams shining on the sod,
And low winds breathing Peace, BIO still;
Lost things IRE found in God"

A.GALLANT ADMIRAL.
q. Cas-. tn. Head. Of thirteen Moor. In.
aTub Of Pork-old john Bsnbow.

He Cast the Heado OF Thirteen MO0rs Into
aTub Of Pork-Old John Benbow.
From the London Telegraph.
A new war-ship was recently launch
ed in England which was named after
John Benboow, q famous admiral Of
two centuries ago. He was descended
from an ancient Shropshire family,
which was reduced in fortune by it's
staunch and loyal adhesion to the
cause Of Charles 1. Hisfather, Colonel
John Benhow, died when the future
admiral was very young, leaving no
other provision for the boy than that
indicated by the words he was "bred
to the sea-" Before 80 he became mas
ter and part owner of the Benbow
frigate, employed in the Mediterranean
trade, in which he would doubtless
have acquired q comfortable fortune
had not accident brought him into
the royal navy. In 1856 he was at.
tackled upon his passage to Cadiz by a
Sallee rover, against whom, though
fearfully overmatched, he defended his
ship with heroic bravery. Although
the Moors boarded him, they were
quickly beaten out of the ship with
the loss of Is men, whose heads Cap
tain Benbow ordered to be cut and
thrown into q tub of pork pickle.
When he arrived at Cadiz he went
Ashore and directed his negro servants
10 follow him with the heads of the
Moors in a sack. Scarcely had he
landed before the revenue officers in.
quired what he had got in that sack.
"Salt provisions for my own use.
CURLY replied the gallant tar. The
custom-house officials demanded to
see them, but Capt. Benbow refused.
He was then informed that the magis-
trates were sitting, and that he would
have to go before them He was treat
ed with great civility and told that as
the salt provisions were of no conse-
quence, he could not object to show
them.
Cesar" exclaimed the stern old
sailor, turning to his servant, "throw
them on the table; they are very much
at the service of these gentlemen, il
they like to partake of them!" The
Spaniards were 80 struck Mt the sight
of the Moors' heads, and by the mar
rative of the action in which their
former owners fell, that a report OF
the circumstances was despatched to
the court at Madrid, where Charles
H., then King of Spain, invited Cap.
tain Benbow to pay him a visit. His
Catholic majesty sent the gallant
Englishman on his way with a
letter addressed to King James
II. of England in its bearers

OLD NAvY's DEEDS IN SONG.
rhymes Of Paul Jones and His Tars.
Praise of Yankee Powers.

rhymes of Paul Jones and His Tars.
Praise of Yankee Powers.
The exploits OF the early American
Navy can be read on the cold pages
of history; but nowhere do they live
with such freshness and vigor as in the
rude naval songs composed at the
time when Paul Jones, Decatur, Hull
and Perry filled the annals of the sea
with the splendid tumult of their
deeds" There is one old song called
'The Yankee Man-of-War." It is de-
scriptive of the cruise of John Paul
Jones in the Irish Channal in 1878.
The air is peculiarly nautical in it's
character, and the words are vigorous
and full Of life. The first and last
stanzas are as follows:
It's Of a gallant Yankee ship
That flew the stripes and stars,
And the whistling wind from the west nor.
west
Blew through the pitch-pine spars.
With her starboard tacks about, my boys,
She hung upon the gale,
On an autumn night we raised the light
OF the old head OF Kinsalo.
"Out Blooms, Out booms!' our skipper cried,
"Out boom and give her Sheet"
And the swiftest keel that ever was launched
Shot ahead Of the British fleet.
And amid q laundering shower OF shot,
With stern sails hoisted away,
Down the North Channel Paul Jones did
steal
Just ut the break OF day.
In 1913 there was a popular song
sung to the tune of aye Mariners Of
England" and called "The Freedom of
the Seas" The chorus is:
Though tyrants irown and cannon roar
and angry tempests blow,
Wen be free on the sea in despite OF every
foe.
Another song of 1913 was descrip.
tive of the victory of Paul Jones when,
in 1870, he overcame in the Bon HON.
me Richard, the English men-of-war
Scraps and Countess of Scarborough.
About the same time appeared the glo-
rious old ballad of the Constitution
and Guerrero" to which the decks OF
American men-of-war still continue to
echo, 'The Siege of Tripoli' and
yankee Tars." A song of this period
is called the yankee Thunders." It
is largely taken up with praises of the
bravery of English sailors and init.
mates that only the Yankees are a
match for them. Thelast verse is.
Hence, be our floating bulwarks
Those oaks our mountains yield;
IT'S mighty heavens plain decree,
Then take the wat'ry field
To oceans furthest barriers there.
Fair whitening sails shall pour,
Safe they'll ride DER the tide,
While Columbia's thunders roar,
While her lannon's fire is flashing fast,
And her Yankee thunders roar.
