'During, our last scuiSe with tha Yai keei, I was muster gunner of as handsom a gun brig as ever dul credit toa dock Vard or dipped a keel in the water. Love ye, )t would have done your eyes good to have seen her skimming before the wind arid breusiing. the bi hows as gentle as n boy's first kissj which'only touches; the cheek, and thal'a nil.--. TUenfwe carried fotirleen as pretty guns as ever drove a bul let through a-Frenchman's timbers. - Old Tom Beaumont, (God bless htm l) was our commander, and a better soul nevercrack ed a biscuit. He was a bardy seaman to ihe backbonenni' upright vund - down straiMt fear-nothing; but the kindest-hear ted fellow in the world, for all I hat... Well, iremtuen, s I'm saying--Tom. (we always called him Totn, because we loved him) matried young, and lor two rears was the happiest dug alive ' He had a wife as pret ty as an angel, and as good as himself; and. a little rogue -4jbeir rson iba verj.ptctiw2 of his own face'lri a btftton who was be 'jrtnntng to climb upoiK his knee and' pull his whiskers. ; Man alive couldn't desire tnorej the very scene might make a Dulrh inn dance or a Russian-; happy. After two years fair wind and 4 weather, how ever, it mortal reckoning, it was reasona ble to expect squalls. ' Beaumont bad; not I hen joined the navy in a regular way; and it tht period he found it necessity to pro ceed to America, where he had entered in to extensive mercantile speculations. Find itrg that he should be compelled to remain there much longer than be dreamed of, he sent for bis -wife and -.child. They sailed but it , proved a last voyage to a new world! - A ' " ' '"' ; 'However, gemmen, it's a voyage we must all take, from the - admiral down to the cabin boy that's one comfort; and n.ay we, by the aid of a good chart, steer clear of the enemy's lee shore and brimstone ihoiils fv.v. "Ioor Tom's inquiries were fruitless iN'o one ever heard of the vessel, and no one doubted tnat all hands were low as Uavy Jones. It was like a shot between wind tfnd water to Beaumont; but' he bore up after a way, though it had shivered his m.tin beet. : '-Ai,AA;; , .,. " V - 'Well, as I was saying, it was during our scuffle with the Yankees, more than twenty years after Tom had lost his wife n'ftd child. We were returning with the little brig from the West IiMli '8. when I was .'roused in my hammock by a bustle mi deck, and the cry of; 'a Yankee V I sprang up at the .glorious news, and through the clear moonlight perceived an impudent looking lubber bearing upon us full sail, and displaying American co lors. . - ' Haul to, my lads 1' said old Beau mont Met them smell powder for . break fast.' 'Small time was lost jn obeying th or ler for w - wmlva j in rendiness for welcome compa ny, . T w ice 1 hey at tern p ted to board us, but were driven back foi heir, kinilness with some score of broken heads, and the'loosof some hundred Amer ican fingers. ' After two hours bard pep ering, Beaumont seizing a lucky moment, ordered us to throw a broadside. , 'Every shot toIl; the Yankee .began to stagger; and in a few minutes, gave evH ilenee that her swigging days Were ended. -Vast firing t cried Beamnont ; let -j us save n brave enemy. He repeated . the won! enemy; and 1 heard him mutter, 'flesh of our flesh.' . " j. ' - r J i'be vessel was riddled like the lid or a pepper-box, and sank so rapidly that we were able to save only thirty of her crew, Their captnfn was among the number, and a gallant-looking youth he was; but in their last attempt to board us,- Beaumont bad wounded him on ihe shoulder with his cut lass. The blood ran down bts arm and poured from his finges?; yet the brave soul never; whispered it. nor made a wry? face on the matter, but stood and saw his coun trymen attended to."" Nature,; however, save way, and he fell upon the deck Beaumont eagerly raised , bim in bis arms, and conveyed him fo his own bed. v - ? On examining tbe wound, the surgeon took ihe portrait of a beautiful- lady from his breast, and handtd it to the coraman Jer. -; Poor old Tom gazed npon it for a .moment he started be uttered a sudden scream I though he had gone; mad. Do you remember that facet' he exclaim', el, How could 1 forgat U? to have seen it once was . to remember it "a hundred 'years it was his wife's I ; 'I won't tire you with a long story con tinued the narrator, 'for. it's all true, and no vnrn.'" For several days the gallant young Amettcarrlay delirious, as tbe doctor call ed it. . But -I .can't describe it to you; gemmen--had yoti seeo poor old Tom, dtf rtng all thatitme I v Nd,Jiang raiI can't describe it I The youth also wore upon his finger a" lhimond ring, opon 'wbicb were inscribed the names of Beaumont and hts long lost Eleanor.

' 'Tis night, and the silver moon is stealing From her veil of clonds, like a Uuahuig bride.' ' Bathed in its silver light, the large, old fashioned crib that stood by the open - win dow, on its downy bed, quietly a sleeping infant lay. ; The soft' curls clustered lov. ingly above its tranquil brow ; and droop ed caressingly over the fair eyelids as if to guard the azure orbs that, jewel like, res ted within their setting of glossy fringe. ; Upon the snowy folds of, the . covering, the small, white dimpled limbs, replete with grace, reposed free from care.- A childish innocent, smile, of: love "and glee, rested upon the yet untainted face. By its side fell carelessly a bright, fine flower met emblem of its own innocence and purity. Softly, upon tip-toe, the" young mother glides to the couch," wherein reposes ber heart's treasure, and pressed ber lips upon the upturned brow; her dew stained face bears traces of recent suffering, she breath es a 'God bless you, my darling boy.' The hot tears fall upon the rose - tinted cheek and startle the little sleeper; he opens his -iiquiif orbs, so full of heaven, throws bis arms around bis mother's neclc, saying, 'Mama, let me cry, too ; Wilbe loves mama;, don't cry ' The childuh pr!i.tler unseals the burning fountain tears, and they mingle with those, of inn cent childhood. Clasping him to ber brjat, she fondly hopes that in after lire the tioart may be as innocent as now. : Knefi fg. she breathes a petition to Him on higjl pat He may give her wisdom to lead his steps aright, so that when the! rosy mro of youth has passed, the teachings of A tooth er may prove- way-marks in the drtntf wil derness of life, to whtob b can t am -When oppressed with care and sorrow, when no longer the music of a mother's voice glad dens his ears. Fond mother, place - not your affections upon an earthly idol, which, without a moment's warning, may be shattered at your feet, i itne brings chan ges, and with it cares and trials; the- little form will strengthen and lose Ihe delicate' outlines of infancy; tbe chiWisli prattle will He superseded by . the boyish laugh and jest; the infant feet, no lonr Iguided by your hand, will perhaps wakd far from trie path that you have note t for him ; - the life bark will not al way! ger by the shore and cull the fragrant loasoms . from Us crassy banks, but unhea will . float down the calm waters until reaches the tumult of the scene where eldy tag circles' form and waves dash ; bare atbrstu will ride them. ? Soon, however, tbe breakers come and dash madly ag ibst it; "on it goes. " The boatman will late command, and the oars lay passive in hL hands, leav ing the bark at tho mercy of tie wind and waves.J Resigned to irs fateiand power less to resist . tbe overwhelmAg , tide- that bears it out of the reach of thl.hand that would snatch it from the briniof destruc tion, and thus it may be withitbe cherub boy whose' frail bark has just ken launch ed, and is impelled by the handof Fate.

Tia the same room, but now the statues, pictures and mir rors are shrouded wit h white, the ' light steals through the half closed blinds, and naught disturbs the calm that reigns there but toe nusned breathings and muffled i read of tbe attendants. 4 - - Beneath Ibe silken draperies of the couch, robed in a snowy shroud, lays one who sleeps the sleep that knows no wak ing. ' The long lashes rest upon the marble cheek, the wavy hair is parted smoothly on either side, while a wreath of dew drops sat tike a coronal upoi the wrinkled brow. A mother lay there with, no tie of blood to shed aiearover her inanimate clay. A lone. in the midst of splenlor, she died No hand of love'smoothed -her ?piliwvbr. ueld the refreshing water to her fevered hps ; there is no eye to weep, no- heart 10 gneve. Alone, she yielded the; last .wild throb of her heart, yearn: ng for one more look upon her boy,-one more kiss, one more clasp of hts hand, and one . parting word. This was denied the sufferer, but it was a blessing in disguise ' Tbe calm spirit could not have been so resigned bad she realised her last wish, .and marked -the change a tew months! bad brought . - When her .wayward boy received her last request, be was, in a distant city surroutnled by boon companions, hold ing highly the rahy wiije. v Shores, and songs disturbed the" solersn stillness f tlia night; hurrying .hos, the -tnid; nig!it reveler read and re-res! the last puniest c l.

Fiw many limes had that kind mother's words been dis regarded. 'O; would tfat he had ever kept pure and .iunoceti, as when first she nourished her lam ent light on his tt)sy sleep. "But when na til tood came, the tvbrld claimed h ji for her own, and he passed from . tjie threshold oi home into the broad ocean of life with out a compass. AAnd , p C when his ha rk is t a I mdst w reckec, a ; hieSse t iger conies with the sad intelligence that tli beacon light which ;T waved-him off the shoals and reefs, and pointed to ihe pure deep waters wherein he1 rrijght escape the dangers that beset hint was now. growing dim, never more' lib be relit. The eyes that looked so wstfully have closed forever, and the. heajl that yearn ed to forgive, bushed, c1d aud dead, while broad lands and wine rttiits siieich iheir heavy barriers to gtkrd him fiom the presence of a mother's dying 'smile.
