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!

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.
