sails like a shark in chase,ot a dolphin., The

-•• The tender,_can- sail, and I am the one
that ought to know it," said a stout., weather
beaten man: -'• She was a pilot boat., and the
fastest craft that ever danced over 'the 'water.
Three weeks ago, I 'and my crew were out in
' her, when yon frigate suddenly made herMp r
warlike out of fog bank, and brought us to.
But I took to my yawl,and pulled for the land

group. _--. . . .
Anil is commanded by a luttind a reefer,"
added the master's Maw.
" It would be a blessing," observed a. tnaif
of-war's man, who bail not yet spoken, "if that
craft could be caught-napping, - It ain't- sate
for 0 slopp.to put her-nose out, of the harbor,
beyond the cape;, but while the frigate was
tbereitiene, they could "'gip along the coast in

now, everything that ventures out - iii broUght

"'That's a titct, Ben " responded another
seaman. " She bas taken or driven back into
port no less than twenty-six craft in The last
three weeks. 1- shall .be glad, fur-one, when
our frigate, lying oll . there;'gefs her armament
aboard';_for then, 1 think, we'll swallow the
English 'frigate. outside, and pick our teeth
with the tender."
All these remarks were heard by th e young
officer, who all the while continued to look
through th. 3 spy-glass at the tender and, her
ehake.
"'There goes a gull !" cried several of the
spectafors, as 4ilash and a jet of smoke came
fronvllm tendWs bows. •
• • " Tlattrikadd enough," observed the - young
officer, as, if speaking his thoughts aloud ;-
" the impudent tender is almost up to 1110160,

" It's'only to try and do her mischief, air,"
said the master's mate: , "fur she finds the

officer, " for she has put about and btalltlS

for eolue moments in silence.
" 103 n pity tint we hadn't an armed cuttCr
in port that would sail faster than sh&can, so
that we might give her a chase out," said a
had, approaching - the group. — His dress was
Hutt of a Midshipman, and his sir singularly
free and careless.

tenant. "Come aside With me, said he, put

" In what way, sir," demanded the youth.
"I will show yen.. The tender's game ap

'she takes men to.iMpress in the British navy,

Frank, but the commander ot the tender will

There may be seen,• between the hours of

verging 14 ort.womanhood.' Great attention is
paid and much taste is displayed •in the - tot- -
lettes of little girls. Plaid silks, oftwo colors
white and blue, pink and. white, are much
used for frocks. The corsage has lappets,and
is tritnined with fringes and pendent buttons.
On the skirt, at the height of the knee, there
is a fringe four inches deep, of the same col
ors as the plaid silk. The sleeves form hol
low
plaits,' fastened down at intervals by silk
buttons and terminate in the fan shape, and
are' ti oished with t we' rows of fringe. Anotti
ey prettylfrack, of purplelilz, has slow body , •
cut square in front and trimmed with lappets
The skirts are covered with three, flounceS,
which are decorated, like the lappets, with
black and purple braid. The sleeves are tight
to the elbew,-and are frinuned with a deep
fringe. Petticoats .and pantaloons for. girls
and little boys are all richley embroidered and
trimmed with lace. For little boys over eis•
years, the contutnes'consist of round vests of
very line cloth, fancy trowsers, white quilting
waistcoats, and ,a narrow silk cravat.. Front .
two to six years, the costume is a skirt in hol
low plaits, a little jacket, very profusely trim.;
turd with buttons and braid.
