MY LOST LOVE,

BY REBECCA bk,

BIERCE,

On, gently blow, ye autwrn winds,
Where my lost love is sleeping;

Ye geutle stars, above her,head,
Thy watch be ever keeping !

When summer faded on the hills,
And dirze-like winds were sizling,

She closed her eyes in dreauless sleep
Upon my bosom lying.

Beyond the pearly gates that shut
Its glories from our vision,

My darling walks the golden strects
In that fair land Elisian ;

And, like a sweet seraphic strain,

Upon my senses falling,
Tscem to hear her voice again
In silvery accents calling.

A voice of sweetness! never more
Its gentle tones to cheer

me,

But, like a catia and soothing spell,
T feel her presence near me;

Dear trusting heart! so cold and still,
With anguish all unspoken,

I cherish yet a perished dream,
And clisp my idol broken!

Ob, joyons birds
To saddes

ittiine your notes
boftest meousire ;
Oh, flowers, bloom sweetly o'er the spot
Where lita ny bavied treasure.
With pate hands folded on her breast,
Tu dreamless beauty slecping

While stars like holy angels’ ¢
Their wateh ubove are ke

Ox evening not long since, a number

of old shipmasters chanced to meet at a
sovial supper, ind after the eloth was re:

moved we went in for yarn. spinning,
Among our number was Captiin Richard
Nutton, and a finer or better sailor never
trod adeck, At length it came to his tarn
to tell a story, or, what we preferred—and
what the rest of us had done—relate some
incident ov experience in his own life,

* Well,” said he, retusing the wine which
was at that moment passed to him for the
first ime, ‘* Twill give you a bit of the

le] early part of my ocean life, and itis a very

important bit, too, for upon it [ have built
iny subsequent manhood,” oe

We prepared to listen to Captain Nutton
with the most profound attention, for he
was not only an old seaman, but one of
the most successful commanders in our
moreantile marine
stery was as follows

We listened, and his

e, an v
PONY our erew was large in proportion,
We “boys,”
as we were called, messed together, and
in all respects were separated trom the rest
of the crew, just as much as the officers
were, ‘The captain was a noble-hearted,
honorabie man, and kind and generous, bat
yet very strict. Of course, we youngsters
tound plenty of occasion to find fault with
him, and very often were bis decisions de-
rainged before our mess, and decidedly
condemned. In tact we should haye re-
versed many of his judgments if we had
had the power; but as he was the com-
miander, and we only foremast hands—and
boys at that-—he had his own way, and the
luminous decisions were cousequeutly of no
avail, and lost to the world.

Now we boys had learned in our travels
to drink our grog as well as any sailors,
We could toss a glass of ram and water
with as much grace as any one, and we
claimed the right to do so, not only as a
privilege, but as an honor, to which a lite
upon tee ocean entitled us, T said + we,”
but there was one of our number who could
not be induced to touch a drop of anything
intoxicating. His name was Jack Sol,
and he belonged to one of the back towns
of New Jersey.

Now Jack Small not only himself re-
trained irom drinking, but he used some-
times to ask us to let the staff alone, Te
gaye up the job, however, for we made
such sport ot him that he was too glu to
let usalone. But our captain had shiurp
eyes, and was not long betors he began to
show Jack tayors which he did not show to
us. Ie would often take Jack on shore
with him to spend the night, and such
things as that, while we were kept on board

sup. Of canrse this created a sort of cavy
on our part, and it ended in a decided ill.
will against poor Jack,

fellows in the ship. Ile was obliging,hon-
est, always willing to lend a helping hand
in case ot a distress, and as true a friend
as ever lived—only he wouldn’tdrink with
us, that was all) No—that wasn't all.
‘Lhe truth ef the matter was, we loved the
idea of being ‘told Salts” more than any-
thing else, and we spent more time in
watebing for opportunities to haye aspree
than we did in learaing to perfect ourselves
in the profession we had chosen,

Jteven got so at length that Jack Small
was called sometimes to tuke the deck
when the oflicers were busy, and he used
to work out the reckonings at noon as casi+
ly as did thecaptain, Yet Jack was in our
mess, and he was a constant eyesore, We
were envious of his good tortine, as we
called it, and used to seize every opporti-
nity to seize and run him down, But he
never got angry in return. Hoe sometimes
would laugh at us, and at others would 80
feelingly chide us that we would remain
quite for a while.

At length the idea entered our heads that
Jack would drink with us, We talked the
matter over in our mess when Jack was
absent, and we mutually pledged each
other that we would make Jack drank at
the first opportunity, We wore on our
homeward bound passage, by the way of
Brazil, and our ship stopped at Rio Janciro,
where we remained « week or so, One
ploasant morning we six youngsters re-
ceived permission to go ashore and spend
the whole day; and accordingly rigged up

oot 24. | Ing.

Now was our chane
heads together to see how it could be done,
Jack's very first desire after he got ashore
was to go up and examine the various
things of interest in theeity, Ife wanted
to visit the churehes and such like places,
and to please him we agreed to go with
him if he would go and take dinner with
us, Ife agreed at once, and we thought
we had him sure. We planned that, after
dinner had been eaten, we would have
some light sweet wine brougit on, anid
should contrive to get enough rum
into What he drank to upset him, tor no-
thing on earth could please us more than
to get Jack Small drank, and earry him
on board in that manner, for we fancied
that the captain's favoritism would be at an
end, and that he would no longer look up-
on our rival with a preference over our-
selves, We had the matt 'r all arranged,
and in the meatime we paid Jack all the
attention in our power,—so much so that
he at last signified his willingness to go
anywhere to please us, provided we should
not go into any bad place.

** Ah, what have you got here?” asked
Jack, betraying some uneasiness at the
appearance of the glasses and bottles,
* Only a little new wine,” T replied. as
sarel essly as I could, ‘tinere juice of the
rape.’
‘* But it wine. nevertheless,” pursued he,
“Teisn't wine,” cried Sam Pratt, who
was about the hardest nut’ Neptune ever
cracked,
“No,” chimed in Tim Black, another of
about the same stump. ‘It’s only a little |;
shnple juti Come boys, fill up.”
‘The & 3 were accordingly filled, Sam
’yautt performed that duty, and he took

ter while you remain orderly; but 1 will
not touch wine.”

'Phis was spoken very mildly, and with | /
akind smile, but yet spoken firmly, and
we could see that our plan was about being
knocked on the hoad. We urged hin to }{
drink with us, only one glass it no more. |,

Your father was once as noble and happy

how he has been stricken down. Promise

me, child, oh! promise, here before your

before he reached it Tim) Black ran and
caught him, at the same time explaining,

* May [ be blessed if you go of so, any
way. You've commenced, and now you
have got to stick it out!”

This was the signal for us to commence
again, and once inore we tried to urge
Jack to drink the wine; and when we
found that urging would not do we com-
menced to abuse and scoff, We accused
him of trying to step over us on board the
ship, and of all other bad things of which
we could think, Bora while the poor fel-
low seemed inclined to let his anger get
the upper hand, but at length he calmed
himseli, and, stepping back to his chair he
said,—

**Shipmates, will you listen to me for a
moment?”

Silence gave consent, and in a moment
he resiumed—

** Since matters have come to this pass,
[ have resolved to tell you what [meant to
keep locked in my bosom,”

We had alw thought from Jack's
manner that there was something peculiar
witk his lite, and were all attention in a
moment,

“My story is but a short one,” he con-
tinued, “aud [ can tell it in avery few
words, From the time of my carliest
childhood Tnever knew what it was to

[from the N. Y. Alvion.}
One of the strongest arguments in fayor
of British Constitutional Goyernmentis un-
doubtedly to be found in the well-establish-
ed doctrine, that no Ministry can long
continue to exist which adiuinisters the
affairs of Goverument in opposition to the
well-understood wishes of the most iatelli-
gent and futluential portion of the people
governed, Lo tact, this may be said ty be
the safety-valye of that British Constitus
tional liberty, which not only commands
the respect of the civilized world, but alsu
secures the willing obedience of hundreds,
of uitlions of the human race. And, when
we suy ‘ British Constitutional Uberty,”
