I Her lover had promised to take her to walk, j Aud she tmilt all her hopes on a long, pleasant i talk: . Rut the daylight was t.id!n. and also, I ween, j Her temper wuh failing 'twas plain to be seen : For now she'd e'.an.l still, then a tune she would I hum, And Impatiently mutter, "I wish he would come. j "Yju bijv .-ay what you like, 'tis not pleasant to ' I wait. I And William has eft kept me waiting of late. I know where be stays 'tis easy to tell lie spends many an hoar at the 'Sinn of the Bell.' I wish he would keep Irom such places awav; His rakish companions do lead him astray." ! She heard a quick step, and her younjf heart beat j fan i As she said. "I'm e'ad he is coming at last ;" lint it was only a neighbor, who hastened to speak j As he marked the quick Bush on the young maid- en's cheek, ' And his ncil eye twinkled with pleasure and k'cc , A he merrily said, "So you're wailing. I see. ; ' Now don't think I'm at all intending to blame. For love ouht ne'er b a sjl.j;et for sdiame; Hut I leli yo'.i to warn you 1 fancy, my lass.

"I.i that you are riht." she replied, "fori see You'll soon love the liquor far better than me. l'tn jealous, I own, anil of the poisonous wiue, i'or the lips that touch liquor shall never touch iniue.'' lie turned, then, quite anirry, and with feeling he said : "What nonsense you're got lu your deir little head; Hut 1'il see If I e.innot remove It from thence."

Having a doubt as to the regularity of the trains on such an evening. I said : "I suppose this stoits at Spa road ?" "Spa road ! Of course it does," said the gentleman, with what I considers! unnec i essary vehemence. "All these trains stop at Spii road." j "Don't thank me. sir," he said a moment i later. "I only answered a simple question , a fool or madman comd do that." Here the train slowly moved off, and the ; speaker, whose face I had not yet seen, re ; smiled Ids efforts to read, muttering now and ' figain an imprecation at the expense of the ! fcg and the cold.

The moment we entered the station my companion, who had drawn nearer me, returned to his seat in th corner farthest from the platform.

George Pollard, Jr., sailed for Nantucket on the 12lh of August, 1S19, from the racinc Ocean. Nothing out of the. ordinary course of events occurred until the 20th of November, 119. On the morning of that day, the ship being latitude 40 min. south, longitude 119 deg. west. whales were discovered, and all three boats were lowered in pursuit. The ship was Drought io me wind and lay with Her main topsail hove aback, awaiting the issue of the contest. The mate's boat soon struck a whale, but a blow of his tail ciM-niiicr a bad ! ' 4 i they were enabled to check the flow of wa ter and reach the ship in safely. In the meantime the Captain's and second mate's j boats had fastened to another whale, and the mate, heading the ship for tin in, set abou. j ovei hauling his boat preparatory to lowering it again. While doing this he observed a large sperm whale break water about twenty rods from the ship. After lying there a few moments he disappeared, but immediately came up again about a ship's length off, and made diiectly for the vessel, oing at a ve- locity of about three miles an hour. The Essex was advi:e;njj at about the same rate of speed. S.vr.'ely had the mate ordered ':e '"'v t:;e '-elm to put it hard up, when keel as be went, came up on the leeward ; ' . . 1 .

"I however," writes he, "order- ed the pumps to be kept constantly go ng, and eiideavoied to collect my thoughts lor the occasion.

By an observation taken at noon, November 22, they were in latitude 0 deg. 13 min. 1101th longitude 120 dec. west. Tbe nearest hind was the Marquesas Islands, next to them the !?ocie..y Islands, but at this time the Pacific was hut little explored, and these islands were presumably Inhabited by savage than w houi the very elements were more kind and hospitable. The final conclusion t lieu was to make for the coast of Chili or Peru. The men were accordingly apportioned among the boats. The mate's boat was the weak est, having been stove sevetal times, and be ing old and patched, and was assigned six, while the other two carried seven each. The recoidof the jassuge is fail of melan choly interest, but too long for insertion here. It tells at length how, in spite of the utmost care, a roition ot their miserable pittance of bread was damaged by the breaking of heavy seas Into their boats ; how their boats were damaged and leaking by the repeated blows of the water. Ou the n'ght of November 23 Captain Pollard's boat was attacked by some kind of a fish and marly wrecked. Thirst consuming, raving thirst began its terrible assault. On tlie 20th or Deeenilier they landed on Dtieie's Island. Unable to find subsistence there, they agair fft ?!?' sifter leirltig thr-ic ' their nmr.bcr by their own desire on the island, and cum- j menced on the 27th of December to make j the perilous voyage toward the I-land cf j Juan Fernandez, distant 2,."-00 miles. The . sad recital tells us that on January l.'th the ' second mate, Matthew 1. Joy, died and was j buried nt sea. if, indeed, the simple laum-h- ing of his body into the deep by his feeble, j saddened companions could be caKed a burial. On the night cf January 12 ' the boats became separate. One and then another of the mate's crew became er.Jce- ! bled and died.

' Wil'iam Crozicr, and treated with A brother- ly tenderness and humanity. j The captain's and late second mate's bents kept together until the night of the 2tnh of January, 1820. During the interval between 1 the separation from the mate and this time four men had died out of the two bouts, ard : their bodies furnished their comrades with their only food. The captain's crew became ! at last reduced to the alternative of drawing lots to see which should be killed to furnish suster.ai.ee to the survivors. On the 2M of February, three months from the time when , they left their shattered ship. Capt Pollard and Charles Kair.sdalo, the sole survivors of j the boat's crcv, were picked up by the ship ' Pauphin of Nantucket, Capt. Zimri Coffin, j The third boat was never heard from!
