While pleasure's pulses madly fly
But in the, still. unbroken air
Her gentle tones come sterling by,
- And years of sin and manhood flee.
And' teave me at illy Mother's knee,
The'book of Nature and its print
Of beauty on the whispering sea,
Oive still to me some lineament
Of 'what 1 have been taught to be.
My heart is harder, and perhaps
My manliness has drunk up tears,
And there's a mildew- on the lapse
Of a few miserable years
But Nature's book is even vet
With all in Mother's lessons writ.

approaching. The foresail and mainsail con
'pealed its occupant ; but presently a melodi
ous voice was carrolling a merry ditty.
"There is my child," said Campbell, his
voice hushed to , a whisper, " there 'is my
child, I never hear her sing bat I see her moth
er before me."
" Wel), father s !' cried Nelly, taking in her
lithe sail, "nd duCks for me to pick up, not.
one. Y , AI are unlucky this morning."
At this moment she caught sight of my
naval uniform and stopped short. " This
gentleman was kind enough to pick them up
for me and you must give him a seat in, the
boat."
Nelly approached. Though tanned by
the sun, one could see the blue eyed Scotch
girl in her. Light curls fell from 'beneath her
vast straw hat; over her shoulders, while a
simple fur pelisse, and buckskin moccdsin,
with red worsted stockins, was all her visible
attire." •
.Bait never had I seen anything more grace
ful or more elegant. .A woman• and yet a
girl, she had evidently the feelings of the
first, and the joyous artlessuessorthe second.

In.a few minutes more we were sailing for"

cows were grazing in the neighborhood ; as

was amazed ; the blind Seott's industry was
no novel in Texas. I expressed' my . surprise.

said Campbell quietly ;"" thank Heaven, I

he, smiling, "if you were to ask Nifty, she
would tell you that was 'done already.' The,
slightly heightened color of the moiken was
her only answer—and at that moment we
reached the landing, where the negro couple
and - their 'pickaniniyi were standing. The
slaiea were sleek and hearty, and showed
their teeth merrily.
Campbell led the way to the house, which 1 1
was, for Texas, superabundantly furnished.—
Comfort and abundance was everywhere.—
The breakfast was, toe eunter, delicious, con
sisting of coffee, hot corn cakes, venison
steaks and wild honey, while cold turkey
greed the center of the board. What I
enjoyed, boweret 7 , better than the breakthst,
was the attention of Aloe daughter to her
blind father Ile seated himself at the hoard,
and Nelly after having first helped . me,
supplied all his' wishes. with a care, and a
watchfullnesswhice was delightful to behold.'
She anticipated all his desires, her whole soul
being seemingly bent to give him pleasure. i
She was in fact more like, a mother with a
child than a daughter with a father in, the
prime of life. Breakfast concluded, we talks
ed again of his history, particularly sinw his
arri ,in Texas.
The routine of the day was simple enough
as they explained to me. The itegroes own•
ed by the father and daughter worked
.in the
fields from dawn till six in the evening the
father fashioned some rural implement ; an
axe or plough hhndle, while the .danghter
plied her 'needle. They breakfasted at-half past
six, dined at half past eleven, and supped at
six. Afterthis meal, Nelly generally read to
her father for two hours. Their library, was
good including general standard works, and
the 6rstiour volums of Chambers Edinburg
Journal.'
Campbell went ont into the air after a lit
tle while to talk to the negroes, and . t was
left alone with Nehy. I took advantage of
his absence to learn more of her eharaeter.
Not a regret nor a wish.for the busy world of
which she read so ninth l while it- was clear
to me that her lover, whoever he was, had on
ly suoceeded by promising to live with her
father. To leave her blind parent seemed to
her one of those impossibilities which scarce
ly ever suggested itself to her mind. Yes,
