A Song of the Sea.

The hardy mariner whose cheek has been tanned by the sultry breath of the simoon, who (like Mr. Henry Mutch) has. beheld | the great sea serpentt in his native wilds, or who perhaps has scudded for days be- ‘fore the fury of a snowstorm, is often prone to depreciate the dangers of the fresh- water sailor. The following beautiful poem shows, however, that the “lake _navi- gator is exposed to no lesser perils than his brother of the boundless ocean. While in

| some respects it may be. inferior to the |More celebrated sea poems, it is second to | none in force of expression, in vivid des- cription, and the logical conelusion of its moral; while it loses nothing im dramatic ‘effect from being written in the beautiful | patois of Longfellow’s (and Rice's) heroine, the language of the Canadian French:

"Twas one dark night om I, ac dt. Pierre,

De wind was ‘‘biow, blow,” ‘‘blow, Vhen the erew of de ae skow. Jule La Plant

(;ot scare and run below,

| For de wind she’s blow like a hurricane Bimeby she 3 blow Svine more,

When deskow buss up on Lac St. Pierre, One-half mile from de shore.

De captain she’s walk on de front deck, She’s walk on de hind deck, too,

{| he’s call de crew from up de hole,

She call de cook also.

}

'

|

De cook he’s name was Rossa, He’s come from Moreal,

Was chambermaid on a lumber barge On dat big Lachind canal.

» De wind she’s blow from nor, eass, wess, De sou wind she’s blow too,

When Rossa say, “Oh ! captain, Whatever shall I do?”

De captain she’s throw de hank, But still dat skow she drift,

For de crew he can’t pass on dat shore Because he lose dat skiif.

De night was dark, like one black cat, De waves run high and fass,

When de captain take poor Rossa And lash her to the mass.

When de captain put on the life preserve And he jump into de Lac,

And he say ‘“Good-by, my Rosa, dear, I go down for your sake.”

Next morning, very hearly, About half-past two, three, four, De captan, cook and wood skow Lay corpses on dat shore.

For de wind he’s blow like hurricane, Pretty soon she blow some more,

For dat skow buss up on Lae St. Pierre, One-half mile from de shore.

MORAL,

Now, all good weod skow sailor mens, Take warning by dat storm,

And go and marry one nice French gir, And live on one good farm.

Den de wind she may blow like hurricane, And ’spose she blow some more,

You shan’t be drowned on Lae St. Pierre, So long you stop on shore.

He Defied the Deity.

BEREAVEMENT.

(Middlet OW) pee

A gentleman residing in Middletown, who was visiting in Sullivan County last | week, was attracted by eight headstones in a little grass-grown cemetery near Falls burgh, all of which stood in a row and were exactly alike look at,them, and found that they wore all children of a well-known physician, and | that all were grown when stricken down, and that the dates on the headstones showed that the first one died Noy. 28, 1861, and the other seven between that, date and Dec. 15 foilowing, or that the} entire family of eight children haa died within eight weeks.

that day, he was told the histe ry Or the case, which is regarded in that n¢ re hood as a visitation of Providenc«

ishment for defiance of the Deity.

The story as told is that in 1861 there was a scourge of diphtheria in that neigh- borhood, and the physician was kept busy treating patients suffering from that dis- ease. He was very successful, and gained such contidence in his skill that he bevan to boast that he could cure any case, and went so far that he ‘* defied God Aimighty to produce a case of diphtheria he could not eure.” Inless than a week his youngest child was seized with the disease, and al- though he exercised his skill to the utmost, having not only professional pride but a father’s love to urge him to do his best, lis boy grew worse anddied. One after an other his children sickened and died, until all were gone, and laid side by side in the little graveyard near Fallsburgh. But one child was left, a married daughter, but in a few weeks she, too, was stricken down and became a victim to the dread disease.

Where the digestive powers are feeble and the ordinary food does not seem te nourish the child. this acts both as food and medicine, giving flesh —, _aerengt at once, and is

Thunderbolt on the Rampage.

On the 13th inst., the State Grain In- spector’s branch office at Central avenue and Sixteenth street, narrowly escaped being destroyed by a thunderbolt during a rain storm. The bolt. struck a telegraph pole which stood against the wall of th building, ran in on the switch board of the telegraph instruments and went out of the window on the other side of the office taking the glass, sash and all with it. A messenger boy, who was sitting on a table, was thrown ten or twelve feet through the open door and knocked - insensible. : th telegraph operator, whose hand was key at the time, had his right

A Curicus Blunder.

| Writing about Canada’s products at the

indian Exhibition, a writer | for the We stminster PR ew falls into a | curious blunder in this statement: ‘*There 1] graud trophy of turs and the wild (animals from which the hunters and trap , pers of the Northwest have so long sup | plied the European markets, and which still | form the largest item in the exports of the

Colonial and

5S a

i Dominion. alnounting to upwards ul | £5,000,000." The reviewer has assumed

, that the item “animals and their produce,” | which appears in the classification of the ' exports of Canada, refers exclusively to the wild animals of the Northwest. an erro | betraying very crude knowledge of the | character of our trade. Fully nine-tenths of the exports of animals and their produce consist of cattle, sheep, swine, horses, meats, dairy produce, etc., and a very insignificant portion of the furs and wild animals with which the reviewer imagines the Northwest yet to abound.

Revolt in San Domingo.

A letter published at Boston from San j; Domingo gives the first details of a revolu- | tion that broke out there attending the late ' presidential elections. The letter is dated iSan Domingo City, 8th, and reads as fol- | lows: The presidential election took place | here on the 26th of June, | Hereaux being electcd by a large majority. |General Mayer, the defeated candidate, left for Savager two days aiter the election and raised an army of 2,000 men and attacked Santiago and was defeated by the Govern- ment forces. General Hereaux, the presi- dent-elect, left here to-day, leading 5,000 men to reinforce General Duperon at San- tiago. Gen. Scaraman left Port-au-Plat on the north side with 5,000 men and will join Hereaux, making an army of 10,000 men. This is the strongest insurrection that has started in San Domingo for some years, but | the pres wil! beof short Jife, as Hereaux lis a bra man and understands how best oO nisl Ww ith such difficulties.
