Written by SET.LECK on the °Cession of
a servant's sacrificing himself to save the two
children of his master.
'Tremendous howls the angry blast!
The boldest hearts with terror quake!
High o'er the vessel's tottering mast,
The liquid mountains fiercely break!
Each eye is fixed in wild despair,
•Id death displays his terrors there!
Now .plungi og in' the dread abyss,
They pierce the.bosoni of the deep;
Now rise whore vivid lightnings hiss,
And seem the murky clouds to sweep,
Through the dark waste drew! thunders rol
And horrors chill the frigid sent!
''lie f storm abates; but shattered sore,
The leaky vessel drinks the brine:
They seek in vain SEIM( friendly shore,
Their spirits sink, their hopes decline!
gut 11! what joy succeeds their grief!
Kind heaven bestows the wished relief.
See on the dock yinnig- Marco stands.
l'wo blooming- cherubs by his side
Entrusted to It isfaithMl hands,
"A mother's joy, a Mther's pride;
Tito' black his skin, as shades of night,
hecirt is fair, his soul is white!
Each to the yawl with rHpinre ches t
Except the noble generous buy;
"Go lively intltnts, go," he crieo,
"And give your anxious parent joy,"
NU motiffr wilt for Marco weep,
When fate entombs him in' the deep!
Long have my kindred ceased to grieve,
No sister kind my title to :flout u;
No breast for me a sigh will heave,
No bosom friend-wait my return!"
lie said, and sinking, sought the happy shore,
Where toil and slavery vex the soul no more.

Her letter was short but tender and im
pressive. It concluded by saying, "It .sill
be useless to seek me, for I leave n o trace
behind; if you hear nothing 11 . 0 M -fife in -five
years, think me with your blessed mother,
and obtain a wife of whom she would not be
ashamed. If I can make myself worthy of
you I will return."

"I wonder if Mr. Campbell, when he

rose in her bosom. "Alas, my dear aunt,
