TIID DREAM OF HOME.
'Wtio liaa not foil how sadly sweet
Tlio dream. of home, Uio dream of homo,
Btcnls o’or the heart, too soon to fleet.
When far o’er sea or land wo main 1
, Sunlight more soft may o'er us fall,
To crooner shores our bark may como ;
Out far more bright, moro dear than all,
That dream ofhomo, that dicum of homo.
Ask of the sailor youth when far
, His light hark hounds o'er ocean's foam,
What charms him most, when cv'niiig's star
Smiles o'er the wave 1 to dream of home.
Fond thoughts of absent friends and loves
At that sweet hour around him come;
tHs heart's best Joy Where'er he roves,
Thai dream of home, that dream ofhomc.
SPRING,
A bursting into greenness,
Awakened as from sleep,
A twitter and a wnrblo
That makes the pulses leap;
A sense of renovation,
Of ficshnoes and of health,
A casting off of solid fear, *
A carelessness of wealth.
A watching as in childhood,
For the flowers that one by one
Open their golden petals
To woo (ho fitful sun ;
A gusli, a flash, a gurgle,
A wish to shout and sing,
As filled with hope und gladness,
Wo hail the Vernal Spring.

THE OLD MAN AND THE PIRATE.
a TUniLiaiaa sketch.
Ejrly in the month of August. 1811, a good s'wd
brig elarlod from Boston, bound for New Orleans.—
On board, llicro was on old man named Adam Wirt,
seeking an only son who ho had learned was some
where on the coast of tho Gulf of Mexico. Adam
Witl was wealthy, but for four years bo bod been
Alone to dwell among its glitter. When [be old man
had lokcti a second wife to Ins homo'; bis sun London
stepped from his roof, and sworo that so long as bis
stepmother lived, bo would not cross Us threshold
again. The second wife was now dead, and feeling
sad in bis loneliness, tho old man resolved to seek bib
Child-.
Tho brig had good \Voalhcr, and for several days
nothing had occurod to break the monotony of the
Voyage; but at length one of tho look outs reported
t sftil to Iho southward and eastward. The wind was
(rent tho oast, and the brig had it slightly abjfl the
beam, as her course lay southward. Cupt. Poole
brought hie glass from the cabin, and after gazing \
on iho ranges for some ten minutes, made her out to
bo a schooner standing out directly towards them. I
‘Where do you think she's bound !'usked Adam |
Wirt, as he hoard the Captain’s report. i
• Couldn’t say yet,’ replied the Captain, again level
ing his glass at Che stranger/ I can tell you belter
after watching her a spell.’
Fifteen minutes passed, and at the end of that
time Capl. Poole lowered his glass, and while a slight
tremor shook his frame ho said ,
• That schooner is falling off.’
‘ And what of that?’ asked tho old man, who had
Haled to notice Che Captain’s manner.
• What of it 7 why simply that fellow is bound lor
this brig.’
• Want* to speak to us, 1 suppose, said >v irt.
•Very likely,’ returned the Captain, as bo turned
aloft; and again turning to tho old mini, bo contin
ued, 4 You need bo under no needless alarm, sir: but
in all probability that schooner is a pirate.’
• A pirate,’ replied Wirt, white bis face assumed a
livid buo. ‘ Then in Heaven’s name what shall we
Wo shall have to make the best of it: for of two
thing* wo may rest assured —wo can neither run
away from him nor fight him. Look, his dock is |
crowded with men.’
Tho brig'o oicw had by this time become aware ol
Iho schooner, and, as may bo supposed they felt ony
thing but comiorUblo at the conviction thus arrived
ul. Tho brig was heavily loaded,and at best she
was but an unpromising sailor; while the schooner
with the wind full upon her quarter, came dashing
along at a furious ruto. A, consultation was held
upon the quarter deck and it was at length agreed
upon that (hebrig should bo kept on her course and
ft ordered by the pirate to heave to. they would do
bq at onco and offer no resistance, which if offered at
all. could only render their situation worse.
In an hour and a half tho piralo had co.no up to
within a mile, and fired q gun to windward, and tn
a tow minutes afterward. llto hr g »"■ »“'■

Iho deepest egony dwell in his boootn, ood wliilo ho
thus stood, Hit) pirate captain ordered his men to
return to their vessel. The gallant youth who had
followed his chief an board (ho brig, at this moment
approached the spot whore Adam Wirt Blood, and
clasping tho old min's hands in his own he said
'Oh, Sir, if you ara tho man's father,speak la him
one kind word. Smile upon him and own him as
your son. Ono word from you may rcclaiip him
from all hie errors.
‘ Boy,* uttered tho old man, as ho gazed upon the
pure and heavenly features (hat wore turned so earn
estly towards him, 'you know what you ask. 1:
have loft my homo in search of my son, but such as
I find him, I will never own him. Back again will!
I go, ond alone will 1 travel my weary way through
lifp* ’
‘ O, air, think once more V urged the yotuh, seem
ing (o hang every, hope open tho result of his plea.
•Ono fond greeting from Iris father may yet reclaim
him. Speak it, O speak it
‘ Never, never,' tillered Adam Wift, as ho pushed
the suppliant from him.
' Then the duly must still rest with mo,'sadly mur
mured the youth, as ho turned awuy from the spot.
• The father may. cast him off, but I cannot.'
• Frank,’ at this moment exclaimed the pirate cap
tain, ‘ come here. Tho grapplings are already cost
off and wo must away. Not a thing hero have I
molested, and I shall leave with a light heart.—
Come.’
As the pirate chieftain spoke, the youth followed
him quickly on board the schooner, and in a few
minutes afterwards the brig was again on her way
unmolested.
Old Adam Wirt returned to his homo in Boston,
but that h’omo was darker and more gloomy than
evir. lie had left in search of his son —ho had
'found that son,but he hud left him in chief command
beneath a rover’s flag. But gradually, like some dim
[spirit arising from the cloudy mist of conscience.
[ arose the earnest appeals of that son, and also the
[prayers of that gentle youth who had urged a fath
jer's pardon for him. In the secret recesses nf iris
| heart ho cuuld but foil that ho might have saved Iris
boy. The continued memory of tho scene on Iho
deck of tho brig softened his heart, bat the feeling
only made him more miserable.
The morning of the 28th of August, 1813, dawned
upon the cny of Boston, ii.nd cro the sun went |
down on that day. ten thousand hearts were filled [
with joy and national pride. On thil mcmoriblc|
day tho United Slates frigate Constitution, under the J
command of tho bravo Hull, entered the Inrbnr
I Boston, after her glorious victory over the Uucrrierc- '
| Tho wharves arid adjacent streets were crowded with 1
i enthusiastic people, und ns the battle scarred heroes
I walked op from the landing, they were every where
[hailed with the loudest acclamations of thanks und
. joy.
I Not far from the landing to which fust boat
from the victorious frigate was hauled up, stood old
Adam Wirt. Ho hud heard of tho ship’s arrival,
and with his American heart overrunning with pa
triotic impulses, ho hud dragged his feeble steps
down to bealow his mode of praise Upon his country’s
heroes. One after onolhor of tho officers p issed by.
and while old Adam was swinging his hat in tho air
ho fell a light touch upon Ins arm, and as ho turned,
his eye rested upon the fair youth of the pirate
schooner. ,
‘ Ila ! what would you with me 7 uttered wio old
man, slightly trembling at the memory thus started
•Look! look !—there sir!' said tbo youth m an;
earnest tone and manner, at the sumo lime pointing
to a party of acumen who were coining up. M fcwe
ilinl wonderful man who hullo in bl« wullt »
hear the shouts that greet him ? A braver heart or
mmo effectual arm was not lo bo found on the decks
of our frigate. Ho fought bravely for his country,'
and ho sealed hie devotion With ins blood.’ 1
Adam Wul slopped nut to hear moro, for in the
person of the patriot thus pointed out lo him ho rec.
agnized his own son. and springing quickly forward,
ho caught IUo wounded seaman in his arms. ]
Those who stood around saw this meeting, and
they knew that the aged father was blessing his sun [
Louder swelled the shouts of j»y. and miny a parent
Wished that such a p'oasure might bo Ins. None
save the aged father and the gentle youth knew ol
tho stain that once blullcd the sailor's name, mid in

.riven—for on the altar ol hifl country's liberty ho had
offered atonement for Ins crime—and had thrown off
ail shackles bat those of love, virtue and honor.
