A Sea Fight.

Only three guns are in use.
One is directed by the captain himself against
the enemy's mainmast.
Two well served grape and canister silence his
musletry and clear his decks.
Tops alone second the FIRE Of this little bat
terry, especially the maintop.
They hold out bravely during the whole Of tho
action.
Not q moments cease.
The leaks gain fast on the pumps. The fire eats
toward the powder magazine.
One Of the pumps has been shot away. IL Is
generally thought we are sinking.
Serene stands the little captain,
BE is not hurried His voice is neither high
nor low.
His eyes give more light TO us than the battle
lanterns.
Toward twelve, there in the beams Of the
moon, they surrender TO US.

The MOOklnG Bird.

Winged mimic Of the woods thou motley fool,
Who shall thy gay buffoonery described
Thine ever ready notes Of ridicule
Pursue thy fellows still with Jest and gibe.
Wit, sOphist, songster, Yoriok Of thy tribeD
Thou sportive satirist Of natures school,
To thee the palm Of scoffing we ascribe,
Archmocker and mad abbot Of misrulel
For such thou art by day but all night long
Thou pour'st a soft, sweet, pensive, solemn
strain,
As IL thou didst in this thy moonlight song,
Like to the melancholy Jacques, complain,
Musing on falsehood, folly, vice and wrong
And sighing for thy motley coat again.
