Of all the glad New-year, mother, the maddest, merriest day ; For I'm to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o°

the May.

Thero’s many a black, black eye, they say, but none so bright as mine;

There's Margaret and Mary, there's Kate and Caroline :

But none so fair as tittle Alice in all the land, they sav :

So L’m to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I’m to be Queen 0’ the May.

I sleep so sound all night, mother, tha’ I shall never wake, If you do not eali me load when the day begins to break : But f must gather knots of flowers, and bads and garland-

S*y, For I'm to be Queen o° the May, mother, l’m to be Queen o’ the May.

As I came up the valley, whom think ye should T see,

But Robin leaning on the bridge beneath the bazel-tree ?

He thought of that sharp look, mother I gave him yesterday,—

But I’m to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I’m to be Queen o” the Muy.

He thought Pwas a ghost, mother, f r T was all in white,

And [ran by him without speaking, like a flash of light.

They cal] me cruel-hearted, but 1 care not what they say,

For I’m to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I'm to be Queen 0° the May.

They say he’s dying all for love, but that can never be :

They say his heart is breaking, mother—what is that to me?

There’s many a bolder Jad ‘i!] woo me any summer day,

And U'm to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o the Mey.

,

Little Effie shall go with me to-morrow to the srecn, And you'll be there, too, mother. to see me m: “te the Queen : Por the shepherd lads on every side ‘ill come fom far away,

And I'm to be Queen 0’ the May, mother, I’m *o be Queen 0’.

the May.

The honeysuckle round the porch has woven its wavy bowers,

And by the meadow-trenches blow the faint sweet cuckoo- flowers ;

And the wild marsh-marigold shines like fire in swamps and hollows gray,

And I'm to be Queen 0° the May, mother, I'm to be Queeno’ the May.

The night-winds come and go, mother, upon the meadow-grass,

And the happy stars above them seem to brighten as they pass ; |

There will not be a dop of rain the whole of the livelong day, And I'm to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o the May.

All the valley, mother, ‘ill be fresh and green and still,

And the cowalip and the ero foot are over all the hill,

And the rivuet in the flowery dale ‘ill merrily glance and pey

THE LOST STEAMSHIP.

* Ho, there! Fisherman, hold your hand! Tell me what is tivat far away— There, where over the Isle of Sand Hangs the mist-cload sullen and gray ? See ! it roeks with a ghastly life, Rising and rolling through clouds of spray, Right in the midst of the breakers’ stri‘e— Tell me what is it, Fisherman, pray ?”’

** That, good Sir, was a steamer stout &s ever paddled around Cape Race : And many < the wild and stormy bout She had with the winds in that self same place ; But ver time was come ; and at ten u’clock Last night she strack on that lonesome shore ; And her sides were knawed by the hidden rock, And at dawn this morning she was no more.’’

‘+ Come, as you seem to know, good man, ‘Lhe terrible fate of this gallant ship, Tell me abovt her all that yoa ean ; And here’s my flask to moisten your lip. Teli me how many she had aboard— Wives, and husbands, and lovers true — llow did it fare with her human hoard ; Lost she many or lost she few ?”’ ** Master, I may not drink of your flask, Already too moist I feel my lip; Bat I’m ready to do what else you ask, And spin you my yarn about the ship: ’Twas ten o’cloek, as [ said, last night, When she struck the breakersand went ashore ; And scarce bad broken the morning's ight ‘Tban she sank in twelve feet of water, or more.

« But long ere this they knew her doom, And the Captain calied ali hands to yrayer ; And solemnly over the ocean's bom ‘The orisons rose on the troublous air. And round about the vessel therc rose Tali plames of spray as white as snow, Like angels in their ascension clothes, Waiting for those who prayed below.

** So these three hundred people elung As well they could to spar and rope ;

W ith a word of prayer upon every tongue, Nor on any face a glimmer of hope.

But there was no blubbering weak and mild— Of tearful faces { saw but one,

A rough old salt, who eried like a child, And vot for himself, but the Captain's son.

in stood on the quarter-deck, Firm, bat pale, with trumpet in hand ; Sometimes he looked at the breaking wreck, Sometimes he sadly looked to land. And often he smiled to cheer the crew— But, Lord! the smile was terrible grim— "Till over the quarter a huge sea flew ; And that was the last they saw of him.

«« | saw one young fellow, with his bride, Standing amidships upon the w.eck ;

His face was white us the boiling tide, And she was clinging about his neck.

And | saw them try to say goud-by, But neither could hear the other speak ;

So they floated away i the sea to dic— Shoulder to shoulder, and cheek to cheek.

** And there was a child, bat eight at best, Who went his way in a sea she shipped ; All the while holding upon his breast q A little pet parrot, whose wings were clipped. And as the boy and the bird went by, Swinging away on a tall wave's crest, They were by aman, with a drowning cry, And together the three went down to rest.

“6 crew went one by one, sannvees tadness, and few with fear ; Cold and ba such work had done That few seemed frightened when death was near. Thus overy soul on board went dowo-— Sailor and , little and great ; The last that sank was a man of my town, _ A eapital ewimmer—the second mate.’

| A GENUINE CORSA™R. |

| Raxwa Dew Java, tho celebrated pirate of the Gulf of Per- |sia, was born on the island of Baharein, celebrated for its | pearl fishery; of which island his father was sheik or kin. On this island (Baharein), I do not think there is an+ wa |

| ter, o-, if there be any, it is seurce and bad. The only avail- | able means of supply that we could see or bear of is by means | |of water-carriers, wading into the sca at low water, diving | | about two feet, and sticking a prepared sheep or pigskin on | | to a faucit fixed into the sand; when they suppose that it is full, they dive down again and bring it up, whey they have | foar or five gallons of pure fresh water. Ihave been told | that there is something of the same sort at Syracuse. | As the pirate grew up to minhood,though still yery young, | | his cruelty and crimes became so outrageously bad that the | few juhalitants compelled thé sheik to dismiss him from the | lisland. Jfe had now no alternative or other resource than to |turn pirate. fle seized a small dow, and with a reckless crew | lsetup on hisownaccount. Forseveral years he cruised about. | | occasionally trading, but always on the look-out to seiz3 or | ‘capture any dow or boatsmaller or weaker than his own; and iit was 4 rule with him to make no prisoners, he, considering | | that dead dogs tell no tales, alwayssunk or burned every prize | it athe made If any of the captured erew would not join | ‘him he made them ‘ walk the plank’ individually, or sunk the | i whole witha broadside, or if there was a breeze, ranning stew | jon, right over, and sinking them. To any of the crew of a) | captured vessel belonging to his native’ island he was unre- | llentingly savage, and he has been known, when he ascertain- \ed that the vessel was owned by any of his relations, bya re- | ‘finement in cruelty, to throw them overboard, headed up in | casks, alive, telling them it was for the purpose of giving them | ‘a chance of escape. | Rama was sbort and slight. ond, like a vast number of per- | |sons in that country, bad lost the’use of one eye. from tie in- 'tense heat, combined with the elare of the dazzling wh te jsand.

| Werever ascertained with any certainty whether Roma, | |who hed v-luntee ed to at with us, «nd, as car pilot, played false, or if it were through ignorance that he did not take us! lround a sund-bank that lay between us and the enemy : bat, | fas all communications had to be made through an Arab inter- | preter, it was difficult, even with the best inteations, to come }to a mutual good understanding. | After the eseape, and seeing the terror which his very name inspired, he became eyen more ferocious and cruel than before, | | sailing about from pines to plase,in the largest and best mann- je¢ dow in the nartow sea, levying blackmail from the peree-| ful inhabitants of its shores, taking, burning, and destroying | every vessel afloat that now ventured to sea, till at last all the, tribes, who had never been known before to agree upon any vne sub eet, agreed upon this point, that another expedition should ¥e collected together and seut against him, if possible to exterminate the nuisance, root avd branch.

This second expedition was better arranged. An old re-| formed pirate, now mach respected, in whom they had some} confidence, was placed at its head, bei. g known to bave pre- | viously ensaged in many ase ne. f strife and bloodshed.
