MAN.
at VrILLIAbt . e•lspU
A man of pleasure one of the Most wretched beings
on earth. Tortured by ennui, weary even of revelling,
without any high, or noble aims. he &sits along a kV'
less life. and passs away by a gloomy and relocrseless
death. Therein the .deepeat tragedy ln, the following
stanzas:
(Who cams for nothing alone is free;
(Sit down, good follow, and drink wAlt use.)
With a careless heart and h merry-nye, '
PO will laugh at the ivoild as the world toes by.
lle loughs at power, and wealth and fame; •
Ito laughs at virtue, he laughs titshame.
lie laughs at hope and he laughs at fear; •

fh . that Is the comrad lit for me!
lle cares for nothing! his soul is free!
Fres as the soul Of the fragrant wine!
Bit down, good follow, my heart lc thine
Yor f need no custom, creed or law;
I Care for nothing that I ever saw.
In every city my cyme I quad;
And over my liquor I riot and lough
I laugh like the cruel and turbulent eraeo ,
I laugh in the, church nod I laugh'at the grave.
I laugh &tiny; and well I know
That 1 meyyliy, merrily latigh at. woe.
I terribly laugh. with an oattrand a sneer,
When I think that-Abe hour of death IN near.
•
For I know that Death lea gutta:divine,
Who shall drink my blood as I drink his wine.
And no care. for nothing! a king is he! ,
Come ou, old follow, and drink with me!
With you I will drink to tho solemn past,
Though the cup I drain shoult l be my lest.
I will drink to the pbanto'nos of love and truth;
To ruined manhood and wasted
I will drink to the women who wrought nil woe,
In the diamond mornings of long ago
To a heavenly face In nweet repose)
To the Iliy'wenovr, and the bloovtorthe rose!
To the splendor caught trim Orient skies,'
That:Milled in the dark of hazel eyes;
Her large eyes wild with the tire of thw South;
And the dewy wino of her warin, rit - d mouth'

I cannot tell it'll night or dayl
My heart Is burnt nod blackened with pain;
And a I.corrlble darkness crushes my brain.
Through awful chasms I plunge and fall—

THE ➢IANIAC OHUSOE
A LEGEND o TUN GENINUDAN
Tho three hundred and sixty-five islands
which form the Bermuda group, although en
tirely without fresh water, and • nlmost au flat

i cedar covered shores fringing bays of the
(moat exquisite beauty, wherein the tropic sea
! takes every color front the various tinted coral
' rocks below. It is a pleasant nip, in thatun
equalled climate, when the wind is hushed,
and the ocean forbears for a space to leap
wrnthfally nt the surrounding reefs, to sail
from isle to tale of that delightful archipelago
and explore each lilliputiandOmnin. Deep wa
ter lies around every one-of them, so that a
ship of the line ns large as themselves can sail
between any two. Each with its cedar forest
and tiny harbor defended by breakwaters
formed by the laborious coral fused, is coin.

dapold for picnic pat ties of moder,a to size ;or
for a pair of lovers; or in ninny cases—SO in
finitely small are some of the Bermudirs- . --for
half n pair. :When 117118 11 IllidBllllllBllll. stn.
tinned at St. George's, I often let thh tropic
breezes carry my little boat to whatever yel
low sands they pleased. where I would disem
bark, and take possession of the miniature
territory in the name of lloyiali Romance 'and
hoist my flag of blissful Independence there
for the livelong day.
On an excursion of this do•cription, I once
landed on Cedar laland —one of the very small
est of the group and quite uninhabited—and
after seething my boa Tina, littlecreek, where.-
in the azure wavelets rose and fell, as if in
Sleep, over a garden of blooming coral, I pro
ceeded ns usual to enact the part of Robinson
Crusoe—that is to say, I loosened my dirk in
'toy sheath, and commenced the exploration
of the island, in order to mhke myself certain
that if I was not, legally speaking. lord of all
I surveyed, there was nt least nobody on the
spot just then io-dispute the fact. Whiletints
pushing through the odorous woods, such a
terrible cry burst forth within a few yards of
me,,that it froze my young blood within me,
and haunts my old ears yet.
1 hove heard theroarof wild beasts by night.
when I !owe camped beside their drinking
places in the.dorert ; and I have beard theone
piercing scream of a hundred drowning souls
whose vessel, struck at. idships by our own in
dirk"inid ocean, was taking her final shudder •
ing plunge ; but neither sound was so fright
as that cry. - -Complete stillness bad pi eceedeel
it—for the dre:any Inppingof the listless wave
could not penetrate the thick groio wherein I
stood,.and the air had no strength to stir'ite
heavy, hearse-like plumes and as inviolable was
the quietness that followed. 1 hem dmy own
heart beat quite audibly, and cautiously thread
ing toy way back to the boat—for, 'Bo a pru
dent oornmander; I did rot menu to suffer my
retreat to be cut oft by the unknown foe—l
trod,ow a dead stick, and it cracked like the
firing of n pistol. As 1 reaoliedsehe margin of
the wood, the terrible cry broke forth again,
filling sky and sea, by this time I was not so
terrified. With sunlight and the open air re•
turned the conseionsueas that I was n sailor,
which, truth to say, in the dark cedar wood I
had sernewhat lost sight of, and.bOund to fear
neither man nor beast • Iturned 'again into
the pigmy forest towards-this spot where the
sound had proceeded with rny dirk in my right
hand, ready to pick the teeth of whatever
monster it might be—for theyell couldacarce •
ly havo come trom'a human throat. • Thought
advanced with extreme circumspection, it was
impossible to see above...ri-couple of paces ire
fore me: 'and when the terrible cry broke
forth for the third time, it was within a few .;
feet of

upon Thia retired spot ; but curiosity overcame
terror, and reflecting that if I was a good boy
as' I intended to be. I alionld in all probability

want of money for certain diversions of hie
own, he robbed his employer to the extent of
some twenty thousand dollars. Oldllr Mer

The speaker was a well formed, ' and fine •
lodking mate, who had 'on the clothes of a

up property. 'ln an evil hour he'ylekled to
the temptations of an old habit of •drinkhg
rum., He descended from' one-stage dee - ..-
radation to another with. great rapidity,, and
his best triendedespaired of his reformation. •
One day 4 Met him in the office of a law
yer. 'Although le' the forenoon, he was quite

went you-to confine yourself to things new,'
let me-tell you som e things • which you .Are ,
disposed to - say, but . which you need not say,
for I know them already a great deal better
than you catt.tell me .l

I said he had hit the nail on the head. •
"I thOUght sersaid he ; " now yea amid

. 1 knew 'What if fool I 'ara
'in this respect. ,
"Then you were.thinkingof my trembling'
nerves," he continued, " and , were awaked
that I daie - pour ''distilled damnation' d.,wn
into My stomach, ivhen I am on the verge of

'I was' not disposed to deny it.

,:You can't tell me
anything on that point, so 'when yeti, speak,
please (nit this!" •
I could not repress a smile at the toads
ingenuity and frankness.
. " But," said he, "there is another view
of my case, which you are disposed to urge.
You want to remind me how ten year! ago
I courted my wife (and no man had a better
wife than'rnine) and how she refused to mar•
o ry me until she wits assured that I had left
off drinking. I loved her that,, and .1 love
her now. I promised to 'trent her as a man
should treat a wife. You want •to remind
me that I have,'by my drunkenness, convert-,

that I have,actually. laid violent halides on,

I could not but admit that he had drawn
the case with-a bolder hand than I would
.have,dared to attempt. '
" But there is one chief argument which
you want to try on Me: Yoe With, to draw
annotiire for reformation from the future.
retribution which God will visit on the Drunk.
ard. It is a terrible motive, and I believe
it to be.a true one. 'I believe there is a hell;
nay, I know there is, for I have seen its
mentors. I semetimes am overwhelmed
with agony at the bare anticipation of meet
ing God injudgment. 1 admit that I- am
hurrying very fast in that direction, and pres
ent appearances indicate that I shall be
turned tuto hell as a drunkard."
• • This was not said defiantly or . jestingly,
but with gravity and feeling..
• " And so you need say nothing on this
point. I know it already ; but if you have
anything new to urge;.l . shall 'be glad to hear
it 1 "
And thus he anticipated, and most ford
bly stated some of - the general arguments
which a person would be likely to use in:en•
deavoring to recall him to a life of temperance.
I could not refrain from laughing to see how
ho had taken the wind out of my sails.•
But thoroughly warmed with his subject,
my neighbor stated hie case still fuither:
'Sir, yen know nothing about the :.appe•
the for ruin. My father taught me to drink
it from my childhood. I inherited drunken•
