THE BRIDGE. NOT BY LONGFELLOW. J stood on “the bridge” at midnight. With feelings I can't reveal, And the moon rose over the taflrail, Behind the man at the wheel. ‘

I knew on a little reflection, That man was laughing at me, For approaching a rapid climax, Came the malady of the sea. off in the hazy distance ofthat fearful night in June, whole horizon seemed upside down And dancing round the moon.

And the waters round me rushing, Served but to increase my pail,

And a terrible qualm came over me, — As of something I couldn t contain.

liow often, oh! how olten [ wished the streaming tide Would cease Its relentless motion, Aud give comfort to my inside. flow often, oh! how olten In the days that had gone by, ‘act that fearful abdominal feeling Upset me—I wonder why?

For my head was hot and feverish, Aad my stomach was full of bile, That was much increased by the engines, With their terrible odor of oil.

But-—- But— ; (interval of tivo minutes.) But now it has falien from me; it is buried in the sea, And as for the sickness of others,— What the deuce does it matter to me?

¥et whenever I go by steamer, if for only a penny ride,

Phe oil from those beastly engines Piays the dickens with my inside.

and [ think how many thousands Of wretched bilious men,

Ju crossing the English Channel, ilave fed the fishes since then.

J see the long procession Stream ou in a ghastly line, Each bearing the fatal basin, As an outward visible sign,

And forever and forever, As long as that steamer goes, As jong as 4 man has inwards With such agonizing throes,

The “bridge” of the Dover packet Shali frequently appear,

As the sea sick mortal’s haven When he feels most awfully queer.
