Fell trembling in the tea ,

Shame veited her uiod-siy-

What room is left for me 1
Sure it were better that I die

But while her self-sbisinjr fear

A shell reoeied and welcomed her,
And pressed ber to Us breast.
And, nourished there, the drop became
Eialied by its low'T shame.
And humbW but to rin6 !
MISCELLANEOUS.
ONE DAY'S EXCURSION.
One day last summer I took my place in a
Geaend steamer, and found considerable
amittemeot in watcbing the various charac
ters. Two persons in particular attracted
mr notice one was a mida'le-agcd eentle
man, stout, rather surly, taciturn, who paid
no attention to any living being on board; ex
cept ahue Newfoundland dog, that was
panting or lolling out his tongue, roaming
among the passengtfs, shoving them out of
bis way, or frightening children, by sudden
y covering their faces with one lick of his
great lonsue, and convincing nervous ladies
that be was going mad, by the vigor with
which he stuck out his legs while rolling
upon the deck. His master eyed these
pranks with a sly smile, and seemed quietly
to enjoy the terrors occasioned by the antics
of his burly friend. The ether person whom
J specially noticed whs a very pretty and
well-dressed lady. Young lady she would
no doutt have been called, but that she had
with her a little girl, about seven years old,
who called her mama. She was evidently
po-si'ssid of nerves ; indeed, she seemed to
be possessed by them, and their name was
tg on. Endless were the petty annoyan
ces m which they involved her. But her
keenest sufftrmgs in the small way caused
by tbe unwieldy gambols of Lion, the New
foundland dog ; and ber incessant and puer
ile exclamations ofurror, indignation, and
spite, against the good-natured brute, kept
ap the sly, malicious smile upon the lips of
his apparently unnoticing master. The lit
lie eirl, on the contrary, had, to the iucreat.
ed alarm of the weak mother, made friends
with tbe monster, and for a lung liuie amus
ed herself by throwiog biu of biscuit for
bimto catch, which feal, notwithstanding
the incorrectness of her aim, he managed to
icco.nplish, by making a boisterous plunge
to one side or the other ; and u ben at last she
timidly offered him a piece out of iter b-'tnd,
and be acknowledged tbe compliment by
ficking her face and rubbing his side against
her, until he almost pushed her down, the
little creature (airly screamed with delight.
Her mother screamed too, but in One of the
mull, hysterical screams in which she was
foud 01 indulging, and which was followed
by an outburst ot anger at Lion's audacity.
'"Good gracious V she exclaimed.' if that
horrid creature should be mad, h:'ll have
killed my child ! How dirty he is, too !
Look at your pelisse, Adeline ; see what a
(late it is iu ! How dare you play with that
mima! !"
This transition from hydrophobia to a
io;led dress, was too much lor Lion's master,
and he burst into a loud laugh.
"I wish, sir," said tue Jady, snappishly,
"that you would call away that nasty dog,
instead of setting him on to annoy everybody
who ii not accustomed to have such dirty
animals about them."
The gentleman said nothing, but bowed
and walked forward ; and I soon after saw
hira enjoying a cigar, while Lion played the
agreeable, in his own rough fashion, to peo
ple who knew how to read the expression of
bis honest and intelligent physiognomy.
Little Adeline, deprived of the attraction
which had fixed her attention to the inside
ofibe boat, began to see amusement in watch
I'igthe forming water, as it rushed from the
paddle wheels, and danced in iong lines be.
bind tliem. She knelt on a shawl which a
fellow-ndisenger had lent, as a cushion for
her little knees, and leaned quietly over
'he side, watching the roaring water ; so her
mother was for a time relieved from the
thousand inosquiio-winged vexatious which
bad hitherto beset her.
We were within a few miles of Graves-'nJ-
The tide was just at thn full, and the
broad expanse of the river lay around us in
11 its majesty ; and to those who have never
ebeld the Hudson or tbe Mississippi, old
father Thames is majestic, sy, and if we

H not lose in dignity even when compared
i'li those giant floods of the west.
Such thoughts as these, however, did not
rouble Adeline's pretty head, which began,
coulj see, to grow giddy with the coutin
'l whirl brneath her. A large sea-weed,
"at Js dashed from the paddle-wheel,

Suddenly, ia'on, olloweL ciosety. by his
master, came tearing along the deck, knock
ing people to tbe right assd. left like nine,
pins. They sprang into the boat that hung
at the stern, everybody giving way before
the determined energy of both man and dcg.
Li on looked anxiously in bis master's face,
and uttered a sharp, low bark.
Wait," said the latter in reply ; "where
was she seen last?"
"There, sir," replied a sailor, promptly ;
"tin re beside that piece of plank."
"How often has she risen T
"Twice."
Tbe gentleman drew a long breath, and
said to his dog, in a low tone, "Look out !"
And Lion did look out, with wild flashing
eyes, and limbs that trembled with anxi- ty.
What a moment that was! Every one else
was passive; every other attempt was laid
aside, and all stood in mute expectation.
Those who were near enough watched the
third rising of the poor child, and those who
could not see the water, kept their eyes fixed
upon Lion.
In anether instant a cry was raised, as a
golden tressed head was seen to emerge from
the water. The noble dog had seen her first,
though ; and, ere the warning cry had reach
ed his ears; he bad dashed from the boat with
wonderful rapidity, and was swimming to.
ward the little sufferer as though be knew
that liie and death depended on bis efforts.
His master marked his progress anxiously.
His face was pale as death, and it was only
by rigidly compressing them that he could
control the nervous quivering of his lip.
i " He has her," he exclaimed, as Lion rose.
to the surface, after a long dive, holding the
j little Adeline by the hair of her head in such
( a manner that her face was out of water.
" He has her, and she is smed !
Down went the step, and on them stood a
cotipleof active sailors, encouraging the brave
dog by shouts and gestures, and ready to re
ceive his precious burden when he should
approach them.
Slowly he came on, wistfully eyeing the
steps, and now and then looking up at his
master, who was leaning over the side en.
courafing hiimwith his well known voice.
"Here you are !' cried the sailors, seiz
ing the little girl. She was handed from one
to another, and at last deposited in the arms
of an active-looking gentleman, whom every
one seemed instinctively to recognize as a
surgeon, anil by him enrried below.
"Now come up, that's a bravo fellow,"
said the sailor, retreating to make way for
Lion to climb the steps. But the poor crea
ture whined piteously, and, after one; or two
frunlt-ss attempts lo raise himself out of the
water, he remained quite passive.
"Help him ht lphiin! he is exhausted!"
ctied his master, fjulfting his way through the
crowd, to go to the rescue of his favorite.
By the time, however, he had reached the top
of the ladder, the sailors had perceived the
condition ol the dog, and with some difficul
ty dragged him from the water. With their
assistance, hecrawled feebly up.and languid
ly licked his master's band, and stretched
himself on the deck.
It would be difficult to tell which receiv
ed the most attention the little girl under
the hand of the surgeon and all the women
who had squeezed themselves into the cbin,
under the firm conviction that they were ex
ceedingly useful, or the noble dog, from the
rourh but kind attentions of the steamer's
men, under the superintendence of his mas
ter. Both the invalids were convalescent, and
Lion was sitting up, receiving with quiet dig.
nity the caresses of his friends, when Ade
line's mother came running up stairs, and
throwing herself upon her knees before him,
and clasping hiin affectionately in her arms,
laid her cheeks upon his rough head and
wept.
"He's a dirty animal, madam, si I the
gentleman, who had not forgot her former
slighting remarks; "he'll make your pelisse
in such a state Besides, he may be mad!"
Site cast up her eyes with an expression of
meek reproach. They were very fine eyes,
and I think he felt, for bis features softened
immediately.
"Oh, pray, pray, give him to me !" she
earnestly entreated.
Give Lion to you" he exclaimed, in de
rision ; "why, what would you do with him?
I will tell you. You'd pet and pamper the
poor b at till he was eaten up by disease,
and as nervous as a fine Ldy. No, no ; you'd
better eive Adeline to me. Linn and 1 can
take much better care of her than you can."
"Perhaps so, sir," she replied, with the
gentle manner that came over her since the
accident ; "but still I could not spare her
he is my only child, and' I am a widow."
"I must go," muttered the gentleman to
himself; "whew ! has not the immortal
Weller assured us that one widow is equal to
twenty-five ordinary women 1 It's not safe
morally safe to be in tbe same boat with
her."
He walked away. But who can wrestle
against fate t When tbe .boat returned to
London Bridge, I saw him carrying Adeline
ashore, and the widow leaning on his arm.
They had a long conservation all the way
home ! And, when he had put them into the
cab, they had another chat through the win
dow, terminating with a ptomise to "come
early"
Whateould all this meant He looked
after the cab till it was out of sight.
I think she has got rid of her nerves," he
observed lo himself ; "what acharming crea
ture she is without them !"

Translated on Fayetteville Street.
I dreamed that her favoring glances fell
On a well-dressed Beau at ber side.
And I rould'nt tell why tbe laughing Belle,
Had refused to become my bride.
But a single glance at my rival's Coat,
Told asa there Uy tbe strength of the game ;
And I said if the Tailor's in Town whucsn do it,
I'll bava one eiactly the same.
Then I dreamed that I searched the Town all o'er.
For the gem that would win ber heart.
Till I found myself standing in front af the Store
Where cloihing is fashioned by art ;
And then I remembered that this was the place
W here the Goal of my rival was made,
And entering in, right before my lace,
Lay a Broad-Cloth, exactly the shade.
Th-- Coat was sent home, and like Caisar I sped,
I came, and I saw, and I wop ;
For she smilingly said, when I ssked her to wed,
'What an elegant Coal you have on "
Three days from thai time, perhspe it was mote,
I induced ber to alter her name ;
And I still buy my Coare at the very same Store,
And she loves me aa ever the tame.
