I had been un expectedly raised from poverty to afilu ence my parents were once more long ing to behold their erring and beloved son, and J knew that there was one dearer even than any parent, who had remained true to me through'all my mis fortunes and would , soon be mine for life.

J Something struck me harder than a wave. What it was I knew not, but I grasped it with a nassiopate violence, for the hope of salvation came suddenly over me, and with 'a sudden transition from despair, I felt that I was rescued, j I had the same thought as if I had been suddenly heaved, on shore by a wave., The crew had thrown overboard every thing they thought could afford me the slightest chance of escape from death, an(f a hen coop had drifted towards mei At once all -,the storjes I ever read of manners miraculously saved at sea, rushed across my recollection. 1 had an "object, to cling to, which 1 new would enable me to prolong my existence. ; 1 was no longer helpless on the cold weltering world of waters and the thought that my friends were .thinking of me; and doing ail tnat tiiey could lor me, gave me,a . wpnuertul courage.

I saw a flash of lightning and then there 'was thunder. 1 1 1 was the ship firing a gun, to let me know if sua anve, mat sue was somewhere lying to. But wherefore r 1 was separatee! from her by a dire necessity; by many thousand. and. fierce waves, that would not let my voice be heard.- Each suc- ceeding gun was heard fairtter and faint- er, till at last I cursed the sound, that scarce heard above the hollow rumbling of the tempestuous sea, told me that the ship was farther and farther off till she and her heartless crew had left me to my fate. Why did they not send their boats round and round all the riight through, for the sake of one whom they. Iiad pretended to Jove so well ? I blamed: blessed, and cursed! them by fits every, emotion of my soul was ex- hausted, and I clung in sullen despair . il t V C I i .1 . .'II to tne wretcneu piece oi- woou, inai sun Kept me from eternity. j Was it not stntnge that all this time the i ma ire of my friends at home never entered my mind r , iviv inounnts nao never escaped' beyond the narrow and dim. horizon of the sea, at least never beyond that- fatal ship.
