HYMN TO THE PEOPLE.
BY 0. D. STUART.
Not to be blent with warrior.strength,
To wield the sword and wear the glaive,
Or rise to conqueror’s fame at length,
Proclaims the good or makes the brave.
To have the power to bltfe the -corn,
And rise above the bate and strife,
Of those to woalth and title born,
Is the crown’d courage of oar life.
What are the swords that prop a king—
The banners in his army's van—
To strength of sonl, that dares to spring
And show the monarob In the man?
Kings and the mightiest men of arms,
Strong as the heads of realms they bide,
Sport as the; may with fortune's charms,
They are like leaves upon the tide.
In dim of old sepulchres they lie,
The feast of silence and decay,
While the nne world-heart beateth high
And throues Itself upon to-day.
Give me the man whose hands have tOßsed
The coin-seed to the mellow soil.
Whose feet the forest depths have crossed,
Whose hrow is nobly crown’d with toll.
THE HIDDEN HAND
BY EMMA D. E. N. SOUTHWORTH,
AUTHOR OF “ THE BRIDE OF AN EVENING,” “ THE
DESERTED WIFE,” ETC., ETC.
[CONTINUED ]
,il Have you qot through V asked the man
at the door, rapping impatiently.
‘“No, no,’ said I, as directed.
‘‘He resumed his trampiug up and down,
and I went back to my patient. She beck
oned me to come close, and whispeaed—
“ ‘ Save my child ! the Living one I mean I
hide her ! oh, bide her from him ! When he
demands the babe, give him the poor little
dead one—he canuot hurt that! And he will
not know that, there was another. Oh 1 hide
and save my child.’
“Master, I was used to queer doings, but
this was a little the queerest. But if I was to
conceal that second child in order to savß it,
it was necessarv to stop its mouth, for jt w.as
squaring like a wild cat. So I took a vial of
paragoiir fiom my pocket and give it a drap,
and it went off to sleep like an angle. 1
wrapped it up warm and lay it along with
my shawl and bonuet, in a dark corner. Just
then the man rapped again.
“ 'Home in, master,’ said I.
“ ‘ No, bring me the babe,’ he said.
“ I took up the dead infant. Its mother
kissed its brow and dropped tears upon its
little cold face ; and I carried it to the man
outside.
“ ‘ Is it asleep V the willian asked me.
Yes, master,’ said I, as I put it, well
wrapped up, in his arms, ‘very sound asleep.’
“‘So much the better,’ said the knave,
walking away.
“I bolted the door and went back to my
patient. With her free haud she seized mine
and pressed it to her lips, and then held up
her left hand, pointed to the wedding ring
upon her third finger.
“ ‘ Draw it off and keep, it,’ she said ; *con
oeal the child under your shawl, and take her
yritk you when you go ; save her and your
fortune shall~be made.’
“ I declare, master, I hadn’t time to think,
before I heard one of them wretohes rap at the
door.
“ ‘ Come ! get ready to go,’ he said,
“ She also beckoned me. I hastened to her.
With eager whispers and imploring gestures
she prayed me to take her ring and save her
ohild.
“ ‘ But you,’ said I—‘who is to attend you?’
‘“I do not know nor care ! Save her 1’
“ The rapping continued. I ran to the
oorner where I had left my things. I put on
my bonnet, made a sort of sling around my
neck of the silk handkercher, opened the
large part of it like a hammock and laid the
little sleeping babe there. Then I folded my
big shawl around my breast and nobody was
any the wiser. The rapping waS very impa
tient.
“ ‘ I am coming,’ said I.
“ ‘ Remember !’ whispered the poor girl.
“ ‘I will,’ said I, and went and opened the
door. There stood t’other willian with his
bead cpvered with black crape. I dreamt of
nothing but blackheaded demons for six
months afterward.
“ ‘ Are you ready ?’ says he.
“ ‘ Yes, your worship,’ says I.
“ ‘ Come along, then.’
“ And binding another silk handkerohief
round my eyes, he led me along.
“Instead of my mule a carriage stood near
the horse blook.
‘“Get in,’ says he, holding the pistil to my
ears by way of an argument.
“ I got in. He jumped up upon the driver’s
seat, and we drove like the wind. In another
direotion from which we come, in oourse, for
there was no carriage road there. The car
riage whirled along at such a rate it made me
quite giddy. At last it stopped again. The
man in the mask got down and opened the
door.
“ 4 Wliertfr are you taking me ?’ says I.
“‘Be quiet,’ says he, 4 or ’and with
that he put the pistil to my cheek, ordered
me to get out, take the bandage from my eyes,
and walk before him. I did so, and saw dimly
that we were in a part of the country that I
•jvas never at before. We were in a dark
road through a thick forest. On the left side
of the road, in a clearing, stood an old house;
a dim light was burning in a lower window.
“ ‘ Go on in there,’ said the willian, putting
the pistil to the baok of my head. As the
door stood ajar I went into a narrow, dark
passage, the man all the while.at my back.—
He opened a door on the left side, and made
me go into a dark room. Just then the un
fortunate child, that .had been moving rest
lessly begau to wail! Well it might, pqor
starved thing !
“ What’s that ?” says the miscreant, under
his breath and stopping short.
“ ‘ It ain’t noting, sir,’ says I, and ‘hush-h-h’
to the baby. But the poor little wretch raised
a squall.
“ ‘ What is the meaning of this ?’ says he.
‘Where did that child come from ? Why the
demon don’t you speak ?’ and with that he
seized me again by the scruff of the neck and
shook me.
“‘Oh, Master, for the love of heaven don’t,’
says I, ‘ this is only a poor, unforfunate infant
as its parients wanted to get outen the way,
and hired me to take care. on. And I have
had it wrapped up udder my shawl all the
time ’cept when I was in your house, when I
put it to sleep in the corner.
“ ‘ Humph ! and you had that child con
cealed under your shawl when I first stopped
you in the woods ?’
“ ‘ In course, Master,’ savs I.
“ * Whose is it ?’
“-‘MastHr,’ says I, ‘it’s—it’s a dead secret,’
for I haddent another lie ready.
“ He broke out into a rude, scornful laugh,
and seemed not half to believe me and yet
not to care about questioning me too olosely.
He made me then sit down in the dark, and
went oqt and turned the key on me. I wet
my finger with the paragorio and put it to the
baby’s lips to quiet ite pains of hunger. Then
I heard a whispering in the Now
my eyesight never was good, but to make up
for it I believe I had the sharpest ears that
ever was, and I don’t think anybody oould
have heard that whispering but me. I saw
a little glimmer of light through the chinks
that showed me where the door was, and so
I oreeped up to it and put my ear to the key
hole. Still they whispered so low that no
ears oould o’ heard them but my sharp ones.
They were talking about selling some woman
and child. I should ’av been oneasy if they
hadn’t oalled the woman Kate. My willian
offored ’em for forty dollars, but t’other wil
lian wouldn’t give a oent. He told my wil
lian, as he called Captain, that he’d take ’em
off his hands and no more. And then they
threatened each other, and went oat o’ my
hearin< And in the mornin’ the new willian
came and took me and the child off in a shay
and drove down a long way to the beaoh, and
hailed a weasel on the river and took ns
aboard and sold ns to the captain right afore
my eyes, and then went ashore, and we was
carried off oufrto sea, thoagh I cried, and
’splained, and spostulated all the time.
“ Now, sir, came a strange providence,
which the very thoughts of it might con
vert a heathen 1 We had been to sea abont
five days whema dreadful storm riz. I tell
you, master, that looked like the wrath of
God! I hugged the baby to my breast—and
went to praying as hard as ever I could pray.
“ Presently 1 felt an awfnl shook, as if
Heaven and earth bad come together, and
then everybody soreamed, ‘She’s struck I She’s
strnok 1 I felt the vessel trembling like a
live creetnr, and the water a pouring in every
where. 1 hugged the babe and sorambled up
the companion way to the deok. It was
pitoh dark, and I heard every man raßhing
toward one side of the weßsel.
“ A flash of lightning, that made everything
as bright as day again, showed me that they
were all taking to the boat. I rushed after,
oalliug to them to save me and the baby.—
But no one seemed to hear me ; they were all
too busy trying to save themselves and keep
others out of the boat, and cursing and swear
ing and hollering that there was no more
room—that the boat would be swamped, and
so on. The end was, that all who could
crowd into the boat did so. And me and the
baby and a poor sailor lad and the blaok cook
were left behind to perish.
“ But, marster, as it turned out, we as was
left to die, were the only ones saved. We
watched after that boat with longing eyes,
though we could only see it when the light
ning flashed. And-every time we saw it it
was farther off. At last, marster, a flash of
lightning showed us the boat as far off as
ever we could see her, capsized and beaten
hither and thither by the wild waves—its
crew had perished.
“ Marster, as soon as the sea had swallowed
up that wicked captain and crew, the wind
died away, the waves fell, and thestorm lulled
—just as if it had done what it was sent to
do and was satisfied. The wreok—where we
poor forlorn ones stood—the wreck that had
shivered and trembled with every wave that
struck it—until we had feared it would break
up every minute, became still and firm on its
sandbar, as a house on dry land. :
“ Daylight came at last. And a little aftei
sunrise we saw a sail bearing down upon us.
We could not signal the sail, but by the'
mercy of Providenoe she saw us and lay to,
and sent off a boat, and picked ua up and
took us on board—me and the baby, and the
cook and the sailor lad.
“ It wa3 a foreign vessel, and we could not
understand a word they said, nor they us.—
All we could do was by signs. But they were
very good to us, dried our clothes and gave
us breakfast, and made us-lie down ami rest,
and then put about and continued their course.
The sailor lad—Herbert Greyson—soon found
out and told me they were bound for New
York. And, in fact, marster, in ten days we
made that port.
“Well, marster, I aint a gwine to bother
you with telling you of how I toiled and
struggled along in that great city—first living
out as a servant, and afterwards renting a
room and taking in washing and ironing—
aye ! how I toiled and struggled—for—ten—
long years, hoping for the time to come when
I should be able to return to this neighbor
hood, where I was known, and expose the
evil deeds of those willains, and for this cause
I lived on tolling and struggling, and laying
up money penny by penny.
“ No one ever helped me but the lad Her
bert Greyson. Whenever he oame from sea,
he sought me out, and made a little present
to me or Cap.
“ Cap, marster, waß Capitola, the ohild.—
The reason I gave her that name was because
on the ring I had drawn from tbe masked
mother’s hand were the two names—Eugene
—Capitola.
“ Well, marster, the last time Herbert Grey
son came home, he gave me five dollars, and
that, with what I saved, was enough to pay
my passage to Norfolk.
“ I left my little Cap in the oare of the peo
ple of the house—she was big enough to pay
for her keep in work—and I took passage for
Norfolk. When I got there I fell ill, spent all
my money, and was at last taken to the poor
house. Six months passed away before I was
discharged, and six months more before I had
earned and saved money enough to pay my
way on here.
“ I reaohed here three days ago, and found
a wheat field growing where my cottage fire
used to burn, and all my old cronies dead, all
except old Hat, who has received and given
me shelter. Sir, my story is done—make
what you can of it,” said the invalid, sinking
down in her bed as if utterly exhausted.
Old Hurricane, whose oountenance had ex
pressed emotions as powerful as they were
various while listening to this tale, now arose,
stepped cautiously to the door, drew the bolt,
and coming baok, bent his head and asked—
“ What more of the child ?”
“ Cap, sir ? I have not heard a word of Cap
since I left her to try to hunt out her friends.
But any one interested in her might inquire
for her at Mrs. Simmons’, laundress, No. 8
Rag Alley.”
“ You say the names on the ring were—
Eugene—Capitola ?”
“ Yes, sir, they were.”
“ Have you that ring about you ?”
“No, marster. .1 thought it was best, in
case of accidents, to leave it with the child.”
“ Have you told her any partof this strange
history.”
“ No, marster, nor hinted it; she was too
young for snch a confidence.”
“ You were right. Had she any mark
about her person by which she conld be
i ’entitled.”
“Yes, marster, a very strange one. In the
middle of her left palm, was the perfeot im
age of a orimson hand, about half an inch in
length. There was also another. Herbert
Greyson, to please me, marked upon her fore
arm in india ink her name and birthday—
‘Capitola, Oct. 31st, 1832.’”
“ Right. Now tell me, my good soul, do
you know from what you were enabled to
observe, what house that was where Capitola
was born ?”
“ I am on my oath. No, air, I do not know;
but ”
“ You suspect ?” #
The woman nodded.
“It was ,” said old Hurricane, stoop
ing and whispering a name that was heard
by no one but the sick woman.
She nodded again, with a look of intense
meaning.
“ Does ybur old hostess here, Hat, know
or suspect anything of this Btory ?” inquired
Major Warfield.
“ Not a word 1 No soul but yourself has
heard it l”
“ That is right! Still be discreet! If you
would have the wicked-punished and the in
nocent protected, be silent and wary. Have
no anxiety about the girl. What man can
do for her will I do quickly ! And now, good
creature, day is actually dawning. You must
seek repose. And I must call the parson in
and return home. I will send Mrs. Condi
ment over with food, wine, clothing, and ev
ery comfort that your condition requires,”
said old Hurricane, rising, and calling in the
clergyman, with whom he soon after left the
hut for home.
They reached Hurricane Hall in time for an
early breakfast, which the astonished house
keeper had prepared, and for which their
night’s adventure had certainly given them a
good appetite.
Major Warfield kept his word, and as soon
as breakfast was over, he despatched Mrs.
Condiment with a carriage filled with provis
ions for the sick woman. But they were not
needed. In a couple of hours the housekee
per returned with the intelligence that the
old nurse was dead. The false strength of
mental excitement that had enabled her to
tell so long and dreadful a tale, had been the
last flaring up of the flame of life, and al
most immediately went out.
“ I am not sorry upon the whole, for now
I shall have the game in my own hands I”
muttered Old Hurricane to himself—“ Ah l

DON’T YOU_REMEMBER, NELLIE?
BT VIOLA.
Don’t yon remember, Nellie,
The day when we met—
The joy of that meeting
Hangs round my spirit yet.
And don’t yon remember
When the leaves began to fall
I left you in the North land,
I left my love, and all.
Don’t you remember
A tress of sunny hair
You placed within my bosom,
And still I keep it there.
Thy eyes still look upon me,
Though far away I roam,
And thy fairy tones com® to me,
Here in my Southern home.
And don’t you remember
Each hot and bitter tear
You shed when we parted,
Perchance, for many a year.
And don’t you remember
How your bosom rose and fell,
And the loved and long caresses
When you bade me farewell.
Don’t you remember
The token fair you gave,
It has guarded me through life,
It shall bear me to the grave.
God bless you, bonnie Nellie,
Wherever you may rest,
And Heaven’s hand but send thea
Mementoes, for the beat.
And when again I meet thee,
’Mid the noble and the true,
Shall I give thee back each token
That I received from you;
Give thee back unsullied
Affeotion’s budding flower;
May Heaven in mercy hasten
My returning hoar.
And I remember, Nellie,
The words of parting dear,
The musio of the heart-throbs
Convey them to me here.
Bat, hark! the clock above me
Has tolled the midnight hour,
And so farewell my beauty,
My loved and gentle flower.

An Exciting Sea Story of the Revolution ?
SBAWAir;
OR, THE
TERROR OP THE COAST
A TALE OF PRIVATEERING IN' 1776,
CHAPTER IV,
When Seawaif left the presence of fair
Kate Cringle, he met her father,who accom
panied him down to his boat, in vain try
ing to find out what Kate had wanted him
for.
The young oaptain sprung into his boat
amid the murmured good wishes of hun
dreds of citizens who had gathered there
to see the privateer go to sea, and in a few
moments he was on board of his vessel.
With a clear, bugle-like voice, which
needed no trumpet, the young commander
shouted :
‘Man the capstan bars, lads, and run
the anchor up with a will. Stand by the
jib and flying-jib halliards—lay the head
yards aback !’
His orders were obeyed readily; and in
a few moments, the second officer, who
stood on the forecastle looking over the
bows, cried:
6 She’s broken ground, sir !’
‘ Very well, sir—run up the jib and fly
ing-jib, and haul the sheets to starboard—
man the top-gallant and top-sail sheets
and halliards! Round with the capstan,
men, and run the anchor up to the bows !’
A moment later, and the head-sails up,
the veering bow of the schooner proved her
to be all aweigh, and then came the order :
‘ Sheet home, and hoist away top-sail
and top-gallant sails!’
This was done ; and as the fore-and-aft
sails, already up, filled, the schooner began
to gather headway. Then, as she fell off
before the wind, which was fair out of the
harbor, her square sails filled, and she shot
ahead with increased velocity. The crowd
on Bhore looking with delight upon the
splendid vessel, and gladdened, too, at the
thought of her errand, rent the air with
oheers; while Mr. Cringle, taking upon
himself the part of gunner, fired an im
promptu salute from a single gun, which
was kept upon the wharf to be used as a
warning-signal if the British approached.
The * Tyrannicide ’ replied to this by a
salute of seventeen guns—her whole com
pliment.
‘ That’s what I call a darned waste
o’ powder!’ said a pinch-face, dried-up
anatomy of a man, whose thread-bare
clothes, little eyes, and long, greedy talons
of fingers, spoke the miser out and out.
‘lt isn’t your powder, Moses Gelson,’
said Mr. Cringle, rather sharply. ‘lf it
was, it wouldn’t be likely to be in a vessel
destined to fight for liberty !’
‘ Tush—tush ! What is this ‘ liberty ’
to us ?—the war is ruining trade, and soon
we’ll all be as poor as rats!’ said the miser,
pettishly.
*lt is a pity that such mean curses as
you weren't poor ; you’re too stingy to live!
If you only had your due, you’d get a good
ducking in a horse-pond !’ cried out Mr.
Cringle, so angrily and so Joudly, that his
words were heard by the crowd, and prob
ably found eoho in their "hearts ; for they
instantly shouted :
* Let’s duokthe old miser—to the goose
pond with the old tory !’
And seizing the terrified wretch, they
dragged him roughly toward a pond of
muddy water near the residence of the
merchant, and soon wouldhave put their
intention into execution, had not Kate
Cringle, who saw their actions, stepped out
upon the balcony, and cried out, in a dear,
musical voice, which reached every ear:
* Shame men— shame! to treat an old
man so. He is weak and helpless ; let him
go, and save your - strength for a nobler
purpose!’
Her timely appeal and her beauty—for
in her excitement she really looked hand
some—had the desired effect; and the old
miser was released, mnoh to his own grati
fication, and rather to the disgust; and
anger of her father, who would hare been
really glad to have seen old Gelson get a
lesson—for he hated him heartily, not
only for his lack of patriotism, but for his
miserly meanness.
‘ I’ll remember her—l’ll remember that
girl, blesß her!’ muttered the old miser, as
he hobbled away from the orowd as fast
as he oonld—not stopping until he reaohed
his own residence, whioh was also a kind of
a storehouse, in whioh a vast variety of all
kinds of truok and trash were stowed—
old jnnk, second hand sails, oor
dage, fishing taokle, nets, harpoons, and a
thonsand other things.
CHAPTER V.
Never was a oraft in better battle trim
on deok, below, or aloft, than the Priva
teer, after Seawaif had got her
rigging stretohed. Consoions that he was
ready to meet any foe of his tonnage and
weight of metal, he boldly headod off from
the ooast for the traok of inward-bound
vessels from England.
One morning soon after, he was at
breakfast in his oabin, with his first officer
and the dootor—young Morley being in
oharge on deok.
But eaoh bounded from the table as
they heard the shout < sail ho !’ from the
lookout, at the top-gallant cross-trees.
‘ Where away, and what does she look
like V oried young Morley, in reply.
Seawaif and his companions held their
breath, and listened for the answer.
‘ I see three sail, sir, dead ahead ; they
seem square-rigged, and ooming down
right before the wind!’ was the reply.
Englishmen, and making for the ooast,
I’ll wager my first prize-money !’ said the
oaptain, as he hurried on deok.
‘ John-Bull-Men’s, be gar—l shall get
my instruments ready for amputat!’ oried
the delighted Frenohman.
‘ So will 1!’ said Mr. Doolitile, as he
buckled ou his sharp, but short cutlass,
and followed his commander on deok.
The breeze was fresh, and the schooner,
with only her lower sails and top-sails set,
was going off to the eastward on a taut
bow-line, her top-gallant and royal yards
pointed to the wind, and her larboard tacks
aboard. There was quite a heavy sea
rolling; and as she pitched into and
through it, she threw the snowy foam over
her-prow almost as high as her fore-top.
‘ See all clear for aotion, fore and aft—
reeve preventer stays and braces—have
the sparo spars oleared away ! Gunners,
look to your children ; they may have play
soon. Boarders and pikemen, see that
your tools are in their places!’ oried the
oaptain oheerfully, as he oame on deok ;
and then he seized a spy-glass, and
scanned the vessels in sight.
‘ What do you mate out, sir, if you
please V asked Mr. Doolittle, whose hopes
for work and prize-money were now on the
rise.
‘ I see six vessels ; but they are yet too
far off to make out whether they are armed
or not!’ was the reply.
1 Shall the gunner open the magazine,
sir V
‘ Yes, after all the galley-fires are put
out!’
The men went to their work, and their
respective stations quietly, but with a
cheerful look, which betokened a perfect
confidence in their vessel, and especially
in their officers.
An hour passed, and the vessels were
now huli-up ahead, yet Captain Seawaif
gave no orders either to alter the oourse
or shorten sail.
c What about our colors, sir?’ asked the
lieutenant.
( You can run ’em up in rolls to their
places, ready to pull out when I order it,
Mr. Doolittle,’ said the captain, still keep
ing his glass toward the approach
ing ships.
The enemy were now rising fast, not
more than four or five miles off; but the
merchantmen, obeying signals from the
sloop-of-war, whioh had evidently discov
ered the nationality and character of the
schooner, by her rig, hauled on a wind and
shortened sail, while the man-of-war held
her oourse under a cloud of canvass.
‘ Take your stations for working ship!’
cried Seawaif. The men bounded to the
sheets and braces. ‘ Hard up the helm
ease off the sheets, and round in the
weather-braces ! ’ cried the captain.
i Tarnal thunder! you’re not goin’ to
run from one sloop-o’-war, are you, sir?’
asked the lieutenant, in agonized wonder.
‘ Get out and rig two spars, with iron
enough on them to sink them, for drags ;
drop one over each quarter, and ask no
impertinent questions, Mr. Doolittle,’ said
the captain, quietly,
‘l* beg your pardon, sir, a hundred
times—l thought you was goin’ to run !’
said the qow delighted officer, as he
hastened to obey the order.
* Double-shot with grape and canister
—gunners to your stations!’ cried the
captain, now, determinedly. ‘ Men, make
no noise when I announce it, but within
an hour that sloop-of-war shall strike her
flag, or we’ll go down with our’s flying!
When she is taken, the merchant-men will
be easy prizes.’
Had they not been oautioned, the men
would have cheered so loudly as to have
been heard on board of the sloop-of-war.
After the drags were rigged and lowered
over the side, held by stout hawsers, and
not seen because sunk beneath the water,
the schooner did not go more than three
knots, although—under a full spread of
oanvas—she seemed to be running away
from her antagonist, whioh now oould be
seen oomiug up hand over hand, her decks
crowded with men, and her ports showing
a battery of twenty-four guns.
On she came, the red cross of St. George
flaunting from her peak, -until she was
within nearly a mile 'of the schooner, when
she fired a shot from one of her bow guns.
* Show them our colors and name!’ cried
the young oaptain, while his pale faoe
flushed with a smile of terrible joy.
It was done in an instant; but the ves
sel’s head was not changed, nor a sail
touched.
Rapidly the Englishman dosed up,
heading a little to leeward, so as to range
under her larboard beam.
4 Crouch well behind the bulwarks, men ;
stand by your larboard guns, but do not
touch a match until the order comes from
my lips ; depress your guns,, so as to take
her between wind and water! Sail-trim
mers, stand to your sheets and braces, and
be ready for orderß.’
These orders given, Captain Seawaif
took his position on the larboard side of
the quarter-deck, and with ill-concealed
delight he saw the Englishman range
along until he was almost abeam.
‘ Haul down your colors, or I’ll sink yon!
Strike, you Yankee rebel, strike !’ shouted
the English captain, who stood on the poop
of his vessel in fall uniform, steadying
himself by holding on to the mizzen rig
ging-
1 I’m just going to strike —not my colors,
bat yon!’ oried Seawaif, sarcastically, and
instantly giving the order to pour in his
whole broadside.
It was done with terrible effeot, for the
British had not anticipated resistance from
a rebel whom they supposed to be using
his best efforts to esoape, and were hnddled
along the deok on the side next tbe
schooner, and were oat down in fearful
swaths. And as the sails were little
injured, the sloop-of-war shot ahead, so
that she was past the sohooner before she
oonld retnrn the broadside.
1 Cut away the drags, spring to yonr
starboard battery—throw in ohain-shot as
well as grape—and out her stioks away !’
oried Seawaif.
Then ordering the helm up, as the
sohooner’s headway inoreased, he veered
off athwart the stern of the sloop; and as
the gnns came in range, delivered a raking
fire, whioh not only Bwept her deoks, but
cutting away her masts, orippled her com
pletely.
He then hauled on a wind, determined
to pepper her until she should ‘ strike,’ and
not wishing to lose any men at olose quar
ters if he could help it. But he had no
oocaßion to use his guns any more; for
suddenly, with a shook, whioh shook the
sea and the air like an earthquake, the ill
fated craft was seen to fly in fragments,
amid a cloud of smoke, into the air.
Whether by acoident or design, no one
oould tell, but, in some way, the powder
in the magazine had been ignited, and she
was blown to atoms.
Prompted by humanity, Captain Seawaif
instantly ordered the helm up, and steered
for the spot where the sloop-of-war had
been, in hopes to save some surviving
persons of her crew.
But not a living soul oould be seen. A
few blackened spars and timbers only met
the eye.
‘ Mon Dieu! Mon Dieu ! zis is too bad !
Not one man to amputat—not one ball for
extract!’ said the dootor, with a sigh and
a piteous grimace, as he looked iu the
water.
‘ Sou may have better luok another
time, doctor,’ said Seawaif, as he gave
orders to trim sails and haul on a wind
again ; for the transports—having seen the
fate of their proteotor—were now crowding
sail, and trying, like a flock of frightened
sheep, to make their escape from an oppo
nent which had done such fearful damage
in so short a time. But the sohooner had
no lumbering oargo, and was ready for
combat or a race, as ocoasion required.
This great revolutionary sea-story, from
the vigorous pen of Ned Buntline, will be
continued, from where it leaves off here, in
the New Sore Merourt, for Saturday,
February 26th, 1859, whioh is now. ready

PHIL ADELPHIA.
A Benevolent Institution established by special Endow

with Virulent and Epidemic Diseases.
THE HOWARD ASSOCIATION, in view of the awful
destruction of human life caased by Sexual diseases, anu
the deceptions practiced upon the unfortuuate victims of
snch diseases by Quacks, several years ago directed tbeir
Consulting Surgeon, as a CHARITABLE ACT worthy of
their names, to open a Dispensary fur the treatment of this
class of diseases, in all their forififi, and to give MEDICAL
ADVICE GRATIS to ail who apply by letter, with a descrip
tion of tbeir condition, (age, occupation, habits of life. &c.)
and in case of extreme poverty, to FURNISH MEDICINES
FREE OF CHARGE. It Is needless to add that the Associ
ation commands the highest Medical skill of the age, and
will furnish tbe most approved modern treatment.
The Directors of the Association, in their Annual Report
•upon the treatment of Sexual Diseases, express the highest
'satisfaction with the succeßß which has attended tbe labors
of their Surgeons in the care of Spermatorrhoea, Seminal
■ Weakness,Gonorrhoea, Gleet. Syphilis, the vice of Onanism
or Self Abuse, Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, Ac.,
and order a continuance of the same plan for the onsuing
year.
The Directors, on a review of the past, feel assured that
their labors in this sphere of benevolent efforts have been
of great benefit to the afflicted, especially to the youDg, and
they have resolved to devote themselves, with renewed
zeal, to this very important and much despised cause.
An admirable Report on Spermatorrhoea, or Seminal
Weakness, the vice of Onanism, Masturbation, or Self-
Abuse. and other diseases of tbe Sexual organs, by the Con
sulting Surgeon, will be sent by mail (in a sealed envelope)
FREE OF CHARGE, on receipt of TWO STAMPS for post
age. Other Reports and Tracts on the nature and treat
ment of Sexual diseases, diet, Ac., are constantly being
published for gratuitous distribution, and will be sent to
tbe afflicted. Some of the new remedies and methods of
treatment discovered during the last year, are of great
value.

PATENT AMBROTYPES—The aul>-
scribers having purchased the exclusive right of Lan
caster city, are enabled to offer to the public anew style of
Pictures, far exceeding, in beauty aDd durability, any ever
before made. These pictures are not reversed, as dazuerreo
typesareand may be seen in’anylight. They also possess the
rare property of being iwpzrihi'able; being hermetically
sealed between glass plates, which is secured by Letters
Patent, in the United States, Great Britain and France,
and practised in Lancaster city by T. <£ W. CUMMINGS
only, over Sprecher A Bro.’s New Store, North Queen st,
Lancaster.
EXPLANATION.
The term AMBROTYPE, by which these Pictures are
designated; is derived from the Greek word Ambrotos, sig
nifying indestructibility, permanency, Ac. The Picture is
taken upon plate glass, to which another plate - of corres
ponding size is secured with an indestructible cement, by
by which the pictnre will retain its original brilliancy
for ages; it will not corrode by acids, nor be injured by
water or climate. It is bold In its effect, beautiful in tone,
surpasses any thing in the gradations of light and shade,
and may be seen in any light. The public are cantioned
against imitations made on single plates of glass, with the
black varnish in immediate contact with the Picture.—
Such are not permanent, as the varnish must crack and
destroy the Pictnre.
AMBROTYPE STEREBCOPEB MUST BE BBEN,
to be appreciated—the relief being folly as perfect as lift.
Citizens and Strangers are invited to call at the Ambro
type Gallery of the undersigned, and examine specimens
before they procure Pictures elsewhere, as they are
Insured of polite attention,
