I oftentimes look o'er the paet
With feelings of regret;
And mentally review those scenes
I never can forjret.
Like oasos which bloom to bless
The arid plains of sand,
So will my life's most pleasant cccr.es
In mein'ry firmly sUin'L
They come and go like clouds which snfl
Over the breast of Heaven;
When by the winds of lleetinR yeans
O'er life's dark sea they're driven.
It ut there's one scene a winter's niht
When 'mil the gTave and ;r:iy
We met an strangers meet, but coon
That distance puacd aw ay.
For there was that about thee which
Jtaiiished ull outward form.
As power of sunbeams melt the snow
When winter days are warm.
L 'neath the bright glance of thine cyea,
Seemed under their control,
And need I say their radiance thawed
The ice which hound my soul.
Thou now art in thy girlhood, and
Life's scene look bright to thee
The future is a country which
We're fated not to see.
I5ut, if we could, those visions might
Most painful scenes create,
Which would all joy of present time
Likely annihilate.
lint I would throw not o'er thy mind.
Those thoughts of oombre hue;
For life cannot hut teem with scenes
lJenellceut to you.
But when you retrospect the past,
Kccall a winter scene.
And keep it, Lizzie, its I chu'l.
In mcui'ry ever green.
LIFE FOR LIFE.
"Save him! save my son! lie cannot
Fwim !" The mother's eyes were wild, her
gray locks streaming on the wind, her huuiis
clasped.
Slie was aboard a little schooner, bound
from Axua to St. Dotiiiugn, on the island of
Uuyti one of the "West Indies. There were
aboard, besides the distracted woman, several
passengers, among them Herbert "SVent
worth, a fine-looking midshipman of eighteen
ou his war to his sloop-of-war, the Congress,
then at anchor in the harbor of St. Domingo.
Hearing the cries of the woman, he turned
round, to soelier amidships, now wildly ad
dressing hcr:-clf to a Spaniard, one of the
passengers.
"JVlro, for the love of God, save my poor
boy ! You can swim !"
" Ay,' answered the Spaniard, shrugging
his shoulders, so can the sharks. There ate
plenty of them hereabout, and, Santa Maria!
1 don't want to get in their jaws ! Resides,
the schooner has, no boat to pick us up."'
Wentwoi th, rushing to the rail and look
ing astern, as the schooner was now brought
up into the wind, saw the woman's son who,
as it afterward appeared, had boon knocked
overboard by the jibing of the main-boum,
struggling in the sea.
Near the young midshipman lay a coil of
rone. He fastened tin end about his breast,
beneath the armpits, and, throwing o3" his
shoes, sprang overboard. Reaching the spot
where he had last seen the drowning youth,
he dive, and was fortunate enough to clutch
his hair and bring him up to the surface.
Soon the men aboard the schooner had hauled
him and his burden to the vessel, and, a few
minuter- later, tho youth was clasped to bis
mother's breast.
"(iod bleos you, .ir!" she sail, to the
young officer, aul overwhelmed him with
her tl ninks.
That same day the schooner arrived at St
Domingo, and parting from the mother and
her son, Wentworth hired a boat aud board
ed his vessel, the Congress.
As may be imagined, the youth in a. few
years was promoted.
Five years after the adventure above re.
corded he found hiai5e!f in command of the
Argjs, a neat little gau-brig, making one
of the fleet under Commodore Porter, sent
out to break up the nest of pirates at that
time among the West India Wands.
With him he took his beautiful youn
wife, Florence, who, having relatives at
Cuba, was to remain there until her hus
band's cruise was ended.
At length, as the vessel neircd the coast
of Cuba, iu the neighborhood of old Bahama
Channel, whither she had been driven hy
head winds, Florence, standing on the quarter-dock
by Herbert's side, could not repress
her Loars at the thought of their coining
parting. She tossexl her long, rippling tressed
of brown hair kick from her glorious
shoulders, and her suple, well-developed
form quivered. Had she and her huslv.nd
been screened from observers, she would
have throw n herself IaU Lis iii-ms auJ wept
ujion his breast.
Ahead of the Arg is was a low, suspicious
looking schooner, sUmling, under fall sail,
for the shallow water aai-.rig the reods along
the Coast. Wentworth, who had lx;eii watch
ing her keenly, crowded canvas in pursuit.
Meanwhile the sun dimmed by a yellow
ish mLit, and dark, lowering clouds rolling
along to windward In-tokened a gale at hand,
so the captain made every effort to overtake
the schtKiuer before the storm. Just as she
was within a quarter of a mile of the leeis,
he sent a shot across her bov.s, compelling
her cap tit iu to heave to, the breeze having
moderated so that at present he could not
Lope to e-cape his pursuer.
Weutwotth kept on, until within half a
mile of the schooner, when, not caring with
his vessel's draught to stand up any closer
to the re.f rocks, he lowered his cutter, and
manning it with a good crew pulled aloug-f-idij
the schooner.
Just as lie sprung aboard, a squall struck
the vessel, and down she went almost on her
ea!ii ends, driven with r in bows towiid
the rotki,..
".Brace forward !" screamed a tall, fierce-
looking fellow, evidently the captain, who,
at the same time easting loose the cutter's
warp, thus left the bout with its crew far
astern.
Wentworth laid his hand on the hilt of
his sword.
"Xo use, sir, you are my prisoner," said
the schooner's captain.
He made a sign, and in a moment th
young man found himself surioauded bj
armed cutthroats brown, stalwart fellows
with blue and red caps pushed back from
their foreheads, showing their knitted brow;
and gleaming eves.
"1 see," said Ilerliert, betraying no out
ward sign of fear, while his heart beat fast;
"it is as 1 thought ; you are pirates !"
"Ay ! with everlasting hatred against yon
naval officers, who hunt us like blood
hounds," answered the tall captain. "What
say, men .'
"Ay ! ay ! ay !" screamed the savage crew,
with one accord.
Then the points of thirty daggers covered
the young man's breast.
"Xo," said the captain, "such a death
would be too good for him."
He looked as he spoke toward the brig,
oa which WeatvvorthV anxious gaze was
also now turned. The vessel was booming
along on a coure parallel with the outer
line of reef rocks, the officers in command
not da:ing to venture nearer, although, by
this time, Helium's perilous situation was
know a
ill who had seen the other cap
tain ca-t loo- the warp and set the cutter
adrift. Unli rl.iiiately the lirst lieutenant
o olid not foiiov.' in the Wake 'f the schooner,

ii:i.t.
The squall vas of b i -f darati n. Pu-ing
to leeward, it left a ch-ar sky, and the
schooner now ili-;i:n ll n-veaied not a leai;.t
disiatit. gliding landward throiigh the mazes
of the re.-l rocks, with the brig's cutter still
following astern, her clew pulling vvii.li
might and main.
Suddenly the lieutenant who had been
lo kii.g through a powerful spy -glass,
turned deadly pale.
".iive me that glass, sir !' cried Florence,
who noticed his emotion.
. She would not Ik' put off, and the officer
was obliged to yield her the glass, which
she immediately pointed toward the schooner.
"I see .'"she moaned, after a moment's
survey. "I understand it all! They are
reeving a rope to hang my husband at the
yard-arm !"
"lam afraid it is too true !" answered
the lieutenant.
"My flod ! And nothing can be done to
stive hiiu !"
She liovved her head on the rail, gasping
as if her heart would break.
Meanwhile aboard the schooner, the rope
had been rove, and Wentworth led to the
gangway.
Two men one on each side of him,
armed with a cutlass, and others with simi
lar weapons a few feet in his front and rear,
served as a guard to prevent his escape.
The rope had been passed through a
strong block hung near the leeward end of
the main yard. Two fierce fellows, as
strong as bulls, stood ready to haul on oy.e
part, while a noose at the end of the other
part was passed about tho young man's
neck.
"Your hour has come !" said the captain,
sternly.
Wentworth looked to his right at the
black-browed man with rolled-up sleeves
and drawn cutlass. No hope of escape ia
that direction !
He looked to his left. No hope there
either. The bearded young man who guard
ed him frowned fiercely, his black eyes
snapping, while he shook his sharp cutlass
and raven locks, menacingly. lie was the
only person between Liai and the opeu
gangway. There was the blue water only a
foot beyond, and, but for the rope about his
neck, Herbert thought he might pOSslb
have contrived to knock this fellow down
aud spring to the sea. As he was now sit
uated, however, this was impossible, and,
composing his face to show no outward
sign of fear, he resolved to die like a brave
man.
One last look at hU gillant little brig in
the distance one last look to sky and
ocean! then tamo the stern voice of the
captaiu :
"Now LET IIIM SWING !"
The two brutes at the rope gathered all
their strength to jerk the fatal cord, bat,
just as they hauled, a sharp twang was
heard a quick flash of white light was
seen above Weutworth's head, aud down
i weut the two rope-pullers ou their backs !
The bearded young pirate g larding Went
worth on his left had severed quickly, and
just at the right moment, w ith his keen
'e.thtss. the rope above the prisuv-i's head.
Then two splashes were 'heard, as he pushed j
w entworth luto tho water, quickly follow
ing. The suddenness of the movement gav e the
two men an advantage. Ere the pirate cap
tain could recover from his astonishment,
they were many fithoms astern of the
schooner, swimming toward the approachiii"
cutter; whose crew, now aware of what had
taken place, redoubled their efforts.
As soon as possible, the pirate lowered
boats iu pursuit, but they were many fath
oms distant when Wentworth and his com
panion were picked up by tie former's men.
Shot after shot was discharged lrom the
schooner without, however, striking the
cutter, whose crew pulling bravely on were
soon met bv other boats from the hi-i..
when the pursaii'g pi.iii.es turning wcat
back t i their vessel.
".Now, then, who are you who have saved
my life?" said Wentworth, t.ddicssiiig his
pirate deliverer.
"Bjt lor my beard, you might remember
one, who could never forget jour face," wad
the reply.
"In Heaven's name, who are you?''
"I am Henri Cardo, whom you saved fve
years ago, from drowning, when I fell over
board from the schooner aboard which I had
taken passage with my mother!"
"Ay, ay, I know you, now !" said Went
worth, recalling to mind the circumstance.
Soon after he w;ts aboard the brig with
Lis wife in his arms. When he told her
how he had been saved, she overwhelmed
Henri with her thanks.
Afterward, however, the young pirate
could not be prevailed upon to make a
promise to give up his lawless life, and one
morning he was found missing from the
brig, from which, as was subsequently dis
covered, lie had contrived, under cover of
darkness, to swim to land, distant not a
league.
The schooner was captured by the brig,
on the next day, after a sharp chase, und
to wed into Havana.
Subsequently the islands were completely
swept of the lawless desperadoes there, aud
the days of piracy were ended.
Wentworth afterward met, in Havana,
Henri Cardo, who hud married a good wife,
and settled down, through her in'leenee,
into the ways of a peaceable, law-abiding
citizen.
A Jovial Yankee.
In IS 17, sune English officers were sta
tioned ut the fort of Accra, on the coast of
Africa, aud it was of course their duty to
suppress the slave trade as far as their p. ever
extended. One day a rakish-looking schooner
appeared, and from it landed a very agt ee
ahle Yankee skipper. He was asked to din
ner, became very jovial, and invited all the
officers to accompany him on board his .ship
lor a few days' "pogui" fishing.
The invitation was accepted, bat next
morning the officers remembered in tunc
that it might be rather awkward for them
to be found hy an English cruiser on board
of a ship w hich was well undeistood to be u
slaver. Their withdrawal was lucky, for
next morning appeared H. M. S. Devasta
tion, which immediately gave chase to the
schooner. After a time, the schooner was
overhauled, and brought into the roads of
Accra. No slaves were actually on board,
and the Y'atikee captain had taken good care
to have his papers in order. Accordingly,
another dinner took place, including the of
ficers of the Devastation, as well as the
previous party.
Dinner was very lively, and was followed
by a game of leapfrog; after which the
guests tried how many chairs they could
clear at a standing jump. A good many
falls attended these postprandial athletics;
as the fun grew boisterous the Yankee skip
per avoided liquors and withdrew. The
naval officers returned to their ship a little
before dawn. When they got up next day
the Y'ankee schooner had shipped her cargo
and departed in safety.
Talking Canaries.
It may not be generally known that canary-birds
can talk, yet they do. I have
known three birds that could speak distinct
ly, and articulate clearly. One, an orphan
bird, forsaken in its tenderest infancy by its
"cruel parients," was adopted and brought
up "by hand," by a young lad', who never
tired of supplying all its wants, and com
forting the poor little heart in the mnst af
fectionate and flattering language. Blessed
with an excellent appetite, together with the
enormous doses of lattery he could swallow
at a gulp aud without a wince, soon Con
vinced his foster-mother that he was of the
male gender, and a strong pair f lungs, as
evinced by his impatient morning chirps f,,r
his rati iiiS, mah; glad the heart of his litilj
maid, and she laughed in her heart, and
dimples leHected the smile on her lips, as
she said to herself, "I have raised a bird
that chii sing."
One bright June d;ty, as she sat dream
ingly swaying to and fro iu her rocking
chair, watching, with loving eyes, her pet,
a change seemed to eo.u j over the bird an
i lea seized him. Hastily polishing his beak
on cither side that bill w hich had drunk iu
the honey of her word; as his rst im-al, hut

case if the dress is bung up in the closet
and the man is iu a hurry. Wo think we
are safe in saying that he always is in a
hurry on such an occasion. The owner of
the dress is in the sitting room serenely
engrossed in a book. Having told him that
the article he is in quest of is in her dtess
pocket in the closet, she has discharged
her whole fluty iu the matter, and ran af
ford to feel serene.
He coes at the task
with a dim consciousness that be has-bceu
there before, but says nothing. On open -
ins the closet door and fnidinrr himself
confronted by a nutnberof dresses all turn
ed inside out, and presenting a most for
midable front, he hastens back to ask
"which dress," and being told the brown
one, and also asked if she had so many :
dresses that thete need be any great effort j
to find tho right one, he returns to the j
closet with alacrity, and soon has his hands i
on the brown dress. It is inside out like '

It is sill ri;ht now. There is the pocket
in plain view not only the inside and all

straighten his face. lie fee's on the out- '

lifts it up, shakes it, and after peering
closely about the root of it, he says, "By

does it calaily this time, because hurrving
only makes matteis worse. He holds up
breadth after breadth, goes over them
carefully, gets his hand first into a lining,
then into the air again, (where it always
surprises him, when it appears,) and dually
iuto a pocket, and is about to cry out in '
triumph, when he discovers that it is the
pocket of another dress. He is mad now ;
the closet air almost slides him ; bo is so
nervous he can haidly contain himself, and
the pocket locks at him so ex.rsporatingly
that he cannot help but "plug" it with
clenched list, and immediately does it. Be
ing somewhat relieved by this ei foi mancc,
he has a chance 1 1 look around him, and
see that he has put bis fo 't through a

and foiu about a yard of bugle trimming
