'Tis wond'rous strange, and yet 'tis true,
Tbat some folks take delight
The deeds of other men to view,
As if their own were right.
And if a piece of news comes out;
They'll eagerly pursue it ;
Then hand the charming dish about,
fAnd add a little to it.
Each fault they'll try to magnify,
Yet seeming to bemoan
The mant within a brother's eye,
Are blinded to their own.
And if a brother chance to stray,
Or fortune on him frown ;
Tho' bumbled in the duet he lay,
The text is "keep him down.1'
They'll preach up penance with a sigh,
To cure, or nothing can
Sufferings are good. I ll not deny,
But not when sent by man.
Kach worthy deed is now forgot,
As if not worth retaining';
Eut Oh ! let failings fill the pot.
And slander sucks the draining.
Unto the dregs she draws it out ;
Delighted with her labors.
Then bears the charming ?wiir about
To treat her thirsty neighbors.
'Xeath friendship's mask she often lurks,
And smiling fawns around you ;
Concealed, she more securely works,
And kisses but to wound you.
Detested -pest of social joys,
Thou spoiler of life's pleasures;
Like Sampson's foxes wou'd destroy
What's more than all our treasures.
TI1E OLD 31 AN AND TIIE.PIKATE.
Early in the month of August, 1812, a good
sized brig started from Boston, bound for New
Orleans. On board there was an old man nam
ed Adam Wirt, seeking an only son whom lie
bad learned was somewhere on the coast of
the Gulfef Mexico. Adam Wirt was wealthy,
but for four years lie had been alone to dwell
among its glitter. When the old man had ta
ken a second wife to his home, his son Landon
stepped from bis roof and sworo that so long
as his stop-mother lived he would not cross its
threshold again. The second wife was now
dead, and feeling sad in his loneliness, the old
man resolved to seek his child.
The brig had good weather, and for several
days nothing hud occurred to break the monot
ony of the voyage ; but at length one of the
lookouts reported a sail to the southward and
eastward. The wind was from the cast.- and
the brig bad it slightly abaft the beam as her
course lay south.
Pernio brought his glass from the cabin, and
after gazing on the ranges lor some ten min
utes, made her out to be a schooner standing
out directly towards them.
"H here do vou think she is bound asked
Adam Wirt, as he heard the captain's report.
"Couldn't si? yet," replied the captain, a
gain levelling bis glass at the stranger, "I can
tell you better after watching her a spell."
Fifteen minutes passed, and at the end of
that time Captain Poole lowered his glass, and
w-hiln a slisrht tremor shook his Irame he
said
'The schooner is falling off."
"And what of that ?" asked the old man,
who had failed to take notice of the captain's
manner.
"What of it ? why simply that lelluw is
bonnd for this brig."
"Wants to speak to us, I suppose," said
Wirt.
"Vcrv likely," returned the captain as be
went aloft ; and again turning to the old man,
he continued, "you need be under no needless
but in all probability that schooner is a
j .
pirate."
"A pirate," said Wirt, while bis face assum
ed a livid hue : "then in Heaven's name, what
ehall we do ? "
"We shall have to make the best of it; for
of two things we mav rest assured we can
n;tii..r run unav from him nor fight him
Look his deck is crowded with men."
The brig's crew had by this time become a
ware of the schooner, and as may be supposed
they felt anvtbing but comfortable at the con
elusion thus arrived at. The brig was heavily
loaded, and at best she was but an unpromis
, in" sailer: while the schooner, with the win
lull upon her quarter, came dashing along at
a furious rate. A consultation was held npon
tho ouartcr-deck, and it was at length agreed
upon that the brig should be kept on her
course, and if ordered by the pirate to heave
to, tiiey would do so at once, and offer no re
sistance, which if offered at all, could only ren
der their situation worse.
In an hour and a half the pirate had come
;p to within a mile, and fired a gun to wind
ward, and in a few minutes afterwards the brig
Has laying with her maintop-sail to the mast.
The crew watched the schooner as she be
gan tq round to, and though they could not re
press an instinctive dread, yet they lelt con
fident that no violence would be used, so long
as they offered no resistance ; nor in this were
they disappointed, for as the schooner ranged
along side and the pirates began to flock on
board, no signs of murderous intent were man
ifested. The pirate captain was the first on
board the brig, lie was a young man in the
prime of life, and next to follow him was a
fair haired handsome youth, who seemed to J
hung upon his commander's steps, with a
strange mixture of devotion and fear.
"P. you command this vessel V asked the
. pirate leader of Captain Poole.
"Yes, sir," replied Poole.
5Then of course you will have no objection
to my overhauling your cargo, sir," said the
pirate, with a smile, 'for you may have some
articles to which I may take a fancy
IfI am not mistaken," returned Captain
Poole, "you will need no permission from me,
as I am unable to resist."
"You show your good judgment at least,
and if you lead the way, I will take a look at
your cabin first."
As the pirate captain spoke, he turned to
the companion-way, and was just on the point
of starting for the cabin when his eye canght
the eye of Adam Wirt, and at the sin-ht hi
o
tarieu oach. as tnougti he had been a spirit
from the other world. The old man, too,
seemed to be equally startled, for as he gazed
on the face of the pirate, a fearful tremor shook
is whole frame, and he gasped for breath ;
the buccaneer gazed into the working feature
lcfore him, and then stepped forward and lay
ng his hand tremblingly on the old man's arm,
said
"Tell me, old man, from whence you came
tell me what name you bear."
"Men call me Adam Wirt," replied the old
man, half recoiling from the touch that rested
on him.
"Great God, my father!" broke from the
irate captain's lips, and ho would" have fallen
on the old man's bosom, had he not put forth
lis hand to keep him o!f.
"Thy father," i t pcated the old man, mov-
ng back from where he sood, "no, no, I am
not thy father. O God ! orne thou niirht'st
have been my son; once I gaze! with a parent's
pride upon thy features, and onwj I called thee

in his walk. Do you hear the shouts that

arm was not to be found on the deck of our
frigate. He fought bravely for his country,

. Adam Wirt stopped not to hear more, for in
the person of the patriot thus pointed out to
him, he recognized his own son, and springing
quickly forward, he caught the wounded man
in his arms.
Those v ho stood around saw this meeting,
and they knew that the aged father was bles-

world but the product of the castor bean, we
cannot imagine it to be more disgusting than
suclr strong hog's fat and rancid butter as

"And now, my son, that all is forgotten,tell
me whence came your noble resolves ?" said
old Wirt, as he sat in his own dwelling with
his only son by his side.
"Wait one moment," returned the young
man, while a peculiar expression rested on his
countenance, "wait ti!l the faithful compar.ion

exceedingly remunerating price, though not-
TIIE GULF STREAM.
The general description of the Gulf Stream
is that of a vast and rapid current,issuing from
the basin of the Mexican Gulf and Caribbean
Sea, doubling the southern cape of Florida,
pressing forward to the northeast, in a line
almost parallel to the American coast; touch
ing on the southern borders of the Banks of
Newfoundland, and at some seasons partially
passing over them ; thence, with increasing
width and diffusion," traversing the wlole
breadth of the Atlantic, with a central direc
tion towards the British Isles; and finally
losing itself by still .wider diffusion in the
Bay of Biscay, on our shores, and on the long
lines of the Norwegian coast. Its identity in
physical characters is'prescrved throughout
the many thousand miles of its continuous
flow ; the only change undergone is that of
degree. As its waters gradually commingle
with those of the surrounding sea, their deep
blue tint declines, their high temperature
diminishes, and the speed with which they
press foiward abates. But, taking the stream
in its total course, it well warrants the name
of a "river in the ocean." This epithet is,
in truth, singularly appropriate to this vast
current, so constant and contiguous in its
course, and so strangely detached from the
great mass of ocean waters, which, while see
mingly cleft asunder to give path to its first
impulse, are yet ever pressing upon it, gradu
ally impairing its force and destroying its in
dividuality.
The maximum of velocity where the stream
quits the narrow channel of Bernini which
compresses its egress from the Gulf is about
four miles an hour; off Cape Ilatteras, in
North Carolina, where it has gained a breadth
of seventy-five miles, its velocity is reduced
to three miles. On the parallel of the New
foundland Banks, it is further reduced to one
, TIIE TEETIT.
To the Editor of the Deutal A'ev Letter : It
appears to us, non-professional judges in tho
matter, tbat a greater interest in the health
and well-being of ths teeth, might be promo
ted through some professional inducement to
the people to have their teeth frequently ex
amined by the dentist. There is, indeed, as
much inducement held out, as professional
courtesy can do for it. But people are, in gen
eral, averse to troubling their dentist, merely
to inspect their teeth,particularly if they have
to go far to see him, without a certainty that
there is need of an operation. And, if the
nearest dentist '8 not their dentist, they do not
like to ask him for an opinion on a matter in
which he is not to be the operator. We should
think it would be well for dentists to make it
a part, of their stated avocation, to examine
teeth, apart from the question, who is the den
tist of the consulting parties, and to make a
little charge for so doing. If such was to bo
como a more common practice, people need
have no hesitation about consulting, for such
a purpose simply, any neighboring dentist;
and the latter would never consider himself as
being for that sole reason the dentist of theso
parties ; he could not feel slighted, if not ask
ed to perform the operation which he may
have pronounced to be necessary or advisable.
Moreover, dentists without practice might thus
be very useful, and earn something for being
so; while, at the same time, itinerant dentists
of doubtful reputation, would have to be care
ful what opinions they give to those consult
ing them, as the opinions would be fiable to
exposure ; and they would also be less expo
sed to the temptation of giving wrong advice,
since they would be entitled to the fee in any
case, for a mere inspection of the teeth.

The old man covered his face with his hands,
ami the deepest agon- dwelt in his bosom, and
while he thus stood, the pirate captain ordered
his men to return to their vessel. Tha gal
lant youth who had followed his chief on board
the brig, at this moment approached the spot
where Adam Wirt stood, and clasping the old
man's hand in his own, said
"Oh, sir, if you are the man's father, speak
to him one kind word. Smile upon him and
own him as your son. One word from you may
reclaim him from all his errors."'
"Boy," uttered the old man, as he gazed u-
pon tho pure and heavenly features that were
turned earnestly towards him, "you know not
what vou ask. I have left my home in search
of mv son, but such as I find him I will neverl
own him. Back again will I go, and alone
will I travel my weary way through life."

continued memory of that scene on the deck of
the brig softened his heart, but the feeling on

The morning of the 28th of August, 1812,
dawned upon the city of Boston, and ere the
sun went down that day, ten thousand hearts
thrilled with joy and national pride. On that
memorable day the United States frigate Con

Hull, entered the harbor of Boston.after a glo
rious victory over tho Gueriere. The wharves
and adjacent streets were crowded with enthu
