Now brimming' wine In lordly cup is seen to shine Before each eager guest; And silence fills the crowded ball,' As deep as when the herald's call: Thrills in the loyal breast. . . Then up arose the noble host. And smiling cried, "A toast! a toast! To all our ladyes fair... Here, before all, I pledge the name Of Stanton's proud and beauteous:dame— The Ladye Gundemere!" % Then to his feet each gallant sprung, And joyous was the shout that rung As Stanley gave the word: And every cup was raised on high, Nor ceased the loud and gladsome cry, • Till Stanley's voice was heard. "Enough, , enough," he smiling said, And lowly bent his haughty head: "That all may •have their due, Now each in turn most play bis pert, And pledge the ladye of his, heart, Like gallant knight and tine l" • Then one by one each guest sprang up, And drained in turn.the brimming cup, And named the loped one's name; And each, as hand on high he raised, His ladye's grace or beauty praised, Her constancy or fame. n 'Tis now St. Leon's turn to rise, On him nre fixed those countless eyes— A gallant knight is he; Envied by some, admired . by all, Far famed in ladye's bower and hall, The flower of chivalry. St. Leon raised his kindling eye, And lifts the sparkling cup on high: "I drink to one," he said, • "Whose image never may depatt, Deep graven on:this grateful heart, • Till memory be dead. , ‘To one whose love for me shall:last • When lighter passions long have past. So holy 'Lis and true; To one whose Ince hath longer Ilwelt, •. More deeply fixeLL more keenly felt Than any pledged by you." Each guest upstarted at the Ford, And laid a hand upon his sword, With fury flashing eye ; And Stanley said, "We crave The tutrne," Proud knight, of this•mo%t peerless dame, Whose love you countSo high." • - St. Leon paused, as if he would, Not breathe her name In careless mood • Thus lightly to ahother; Then bent his noble head as though To give that word the reverence due, And gently said, i'My mother!" SCENE AT A REVIEW.—There was a, beautiful instance of horsemanship dis played at a late review held aeVienna, upon the occasion of the military order of Maria Theresa,when some thirty thousand cavalry were in line. A- little child in the front row of the spectators', becoming frightened, rushed forward just as a squad ron of huzzars were charging at full tilt —swooping down with maddening veloc ity, nay, almost on the child.. Terror paralyzed alike the !spectators and the mother of child, while the lovely and amiable Empress almost fainted with hor ror, for the child's destrretioo seemed in evitable. The little one was almost under the horse's feet—another instant would have sealed its doom—when a buzzer. without lessening his speed or loosening, his hold, threw himself along; his horse s neck, and seizing ,the child Placed it in safety in front of. his saddle : without so much as changing the pane or breaking the alignment in the least. A hundred thousand voices hailed with pride and joy the deed while but two voices could Sob the gratitude—the one.a mother's, the ot er that of her sympathizing and be kted Empress. A proud moment that must have been for the Iluziat, when his Emperor, taking the enameled cross of merit, attached it to his breast—a proud monument alike for the sovereign and the - , MAKE A BEGINNING.-If You do not begin, you will never come to the end. The first weed pulled up in the garden, the first Feel set in the ground, the first shilling put in the saving•bank, and the first mile traveled on a journey, are all important things; they make beginning. and thereby give a hope, a promise, a pledge, an assurance that you are in earnest with what you have undertaken. How many a poor, idle, errini, hesitating outcast is now creeping his way through the 'world, who might have held up his head and prospered,' if, instead of putting off his resolution of amendment and in dustry, he had only made a beginning.

HE CABIN BOY. On m , way across the sound I fell in with two lold sea captains John Streeter and Asa i)lorton-- , ivith whom I hint some slight acquaintance. Capt. 1 1 Streeter wait about three score, and had followed the sea most of his life: Morton was consid erably- younger, but still a seamen' of much experience. The subject of iboli• tion of flogging in our navy cape up in course of conversation, Capt. Morton expressed himself decidedly in favor of that tim+lionored institution, the cat-o'-. nine-taile., `"I amlnot prepared to say," remarked Capt. Streeter, , in reply, "that the condi tion of lur man-of-wars-men will be in every ease benefited by the abolition of flogging,l though I am, sure it might be so. I tom that the officers' have it in their power to do away with all kinds of punishment. I mean, of course, for such offences as are usually punished on ship board. 'For' my: part." said Morton, "I shouldn't care to take command of a ship, if the power of punishing refectory sea• men as I thought proper were taken from me" j "Well," said Capt. Streeter, "I used to think jtist so. an fact, there were but few masters more passionate or severe than I v i m. Men used to run away from me, and:on more than cne occaston my life has been in danger from the violence of men whom I had abused. I used the cat and ;the rope's end almost as freely as I used lily tongue;' and I used to won der howl I had theluck to get such bad men. J Whet) I was about forty years of age I took cotntuand of the ship Petersham.— She walin old craft and had seen full as much service as she was capable of seeing with safety. But her owners were will ing to test a valuable 'cargo in her, so I wouldn't refuse to trust myself. We were bound to Liverpool, and nothing unusual happened until the ;eighth 'day out, wh;gn we ran foul of a small iceherg. It Was early in the morning, before sun rise, and not above six or eight feet of ice lwern above the water, it having near- ly all l:leen melted in the warm waters of the (Intl Stream. I did not think we had sustained much injury for the shock was liOtt; but I was very angry and gave t;he lookout a severe thrashing without stopping to inquire whether he could have seen the iceberg in time to escape it. Dly Cato'n boy was named Jack With , ere. Be was fourteen years of age and this was his first voyage. I had taken him frdm his widowed mother, and had promised her that I would see him well treated—that . was, if be behaved himself. I soon wade myself believe that he had an awful disposition. I fancied that lie was the most stubborn piece of humani ty I had ever came across. I made up my mind that he had never been properly governed; and resolred to break him in. I told Win I'd curb his temper before I had done with him. In reply he told me I might kill him if I liked ; and I flogged htm with the end of, the mizzen.top-gallant halliards till he :could hardly stand. 1 asked him if he had, got enough, and hettild me I might flog him more if I wished it. felt a Strong inclination to throw the boy overboard, but at that moment he stag. gered back against the mizzen-must from absolute weakness, and I left him to him self. When I had reasoned calmly about the boy's disposition, I was forced to ac knowledge that he was the smartest and Most faithful lad I had ever seen. When I asked him to do anything he would be off like a rooket ; but when 'roughly or. dered him to do it, then came the dispo sition With which I found fault. One day wheri'it was very near noon I spoke to him and told him to go below and bring up my quadrant. He was look ing over the quarter rail and :I knew he did hear me, and the next time I spoke. I rippo out an oath, and intimated if he did not move I would help him. "I didn't hear ye," he said in an lode pendent tone. "No' words'" said I "I stpose I can speak," he retorted; moving slowly towards the companion way. :1 His looks, words, and the slow careless way which he moved fired mein a mo ment nod I grasped him by the collar. "Spook to me like that again and I'll flog you .within an inch of your life," said I.! "YOu can flog away," he replied, firm as a reek - And L did flog him. I caught up the end of a rope, and beat . him until my arm fairly ached; but he never winced. iiHOw's that ?" said . l. "There's a little more life in me better flog out," was the reply. Alia I beat him again. I beat him till be as from my hand against the rail ; and au I. sent one of my men for my 9usdiwnt. When it came and I had ad. Jude , it for my Observation ; I found that , . the BIM was already past the meridian, that I, was too late.. This added fuel to the fire of my madness, and quickly kis ' ing the lad 17 the collar, tilled h*tcl the main hatchway, and bad the hatch taken off. I Then thrust him dowel:llnd swore I would keep him there till/ his stubbornness was ! broken.; The batch was then put on; and I went Into Elie: cabin. I suffered a good dial that after-, noon, not with any compunctions for briaat I had done, but with my own temper find bitterness. It *de ,me mad to think ( that I could not etinqu'er that boy---thetl could not breakdown his cord titer' r 'op- B position. "ot Twill do it," said ll'to' myself, "bythe ,heavens above me. 11l starve him into it, or he shall die under the operation." • After supper I went to the hatch Way, rand called out to him, but , be retuhied. I no answer ; so 'I closed thel hatch •tid I went away. At ten o'clock I called again, and again I got, no answer. I might heve thought that, the flogging had taken away his senses, had not pine of the miles -I sured me that they bad beard him, nfit an hour before talking to hunielf. I idid not trouble him again until ',morning.-- After breakfast '' l went to the hatchway and galled out to him duce morel I heard nothing from him, nor couldPim j bin—l had not seen him since I put him down there. I called out several times but he would not reply-i-and yet I the same men told me they had heard him talking that very morning: He se' to' be calling on (them for help, bat he I would not ask for me. I meant to break him into it. "He'll beg before 1 he'll I sterve,". I thought, and so 1 determined 'I to let him stay there. I, Supposed he's had crawled forward to the fore+itle bulkheaditin order to ,make the a ilora bear him. Some of •the men asked eave to go down and look for ' him, but re fused. I threatened to punish th ,' first man that dared go down. , At noon . I went again, and as hdid not answer me this time I' resolve that he should come to the hatchway an ask, t for me ere I went any more. Th day pissed away, and when evening ca; e I began to be startled. I tboUght 4 the many, good qualities the boy had, and of his widowed mother. He had been in the hole thirty•six hours, land all ofl forty , 13 without food or drink. He must e too weak to cry out now. It was her for me to give up, ;but if he died there from absolute starvation- it would go h rder with me still. So at length I ma, e up my mind to go and see him. It w not I quite sundown when I had the hat h ta-, sen off and Ijiituped down on thei ones alone. '1 ) ~.A. little way forward 9 I 'saw pace where Jack might easily have gone own, and to that point I crawled on myj lmn& and knees. .I. called out there but ;could get no answer. A short distance i fairther I saw a wide space which I bad li a liirely forgotten, but which I now reme ;bered had been left open on account ofa break in the flooring of the hold, .which would have left everything that might haid been stowed there resting directly upon the thin planking of the ship. I To this place I made my way and lboked down. I heard the splashing of the wa ter, and thought, I could detect jai feint I sound like the incoming of a tin j et' or stream. At first I could see nothing, but as soon' as I became used to the dim light, I could distinguish the faini out- lines .of the boy at some distaneei from me. He seemed to be I sitting on the broken floor, with his feet stretched out against a cask. , I called out to:him and thought be looked up. , "Jack, are you there, r' 1 . "Yes, help - me I For Heaven's sake help me I Bring men and a lantm ship has sprung a leak I" , r • I hesitated, and he added in I eager tone : , •Make haste--111 try, and hot you come back."' I waited to hear no more, but hurried on deck as soon as possible <and returned with a lantern and three mem Three of the timbers were completely worMeaten to the very heart, and one , of the outer planks had been broken and would burst in at any moment the lxiy might leave it, whose feet were braced againstthe cask before him. Half-alloaen little jets of water were streaming in about" him, and he was wet to the very Skin. I saw the plank must hint the moment 'the strait , was 'removed from it, so I made my men brace themsevea against' it befoie I lifted him up. Other men were called down' with planks and 'spikes; and . adzes, and ] with much care and trouble, *0 ,finallY succeeded in stopping the leak; and avert ing the danger. ; The plank which was stove in was six feet long and eight WOO wide and would hive let in a stream of water ,Of that ca pacity. It would have been beyend our reach, longere we would bave( dis Covered it, and would harem:ink us in a very short time. I kneir it past have been, where the iceberg struck us: .

'::o tell his [ story.— Shortly , after I put him in the hold, he crawled forward and looked abut 'for a snug place , to lie for ,hut limbs were sore. went to sleep,: and 'wben he awoke be beard a faint sound, like" Water streaming through a small hole,; : he went to the, open place in the cargo atr 4 ked down, and he was sure be saw I% of wateespringing up from the ship's bot tont., treileaped down anthfoind `that the had given wholly away, and that the stream was increasing in size.— placed, his hand on the . Plank. and found broken, and discovered that the pressure of the water' witliout Was press ing it inWerd. Ike had sense enough to see that if it, gained an inch'; more, it mist all go, and the ship wcSuld be lost and all' bands perish' He saw,' :too,' that if he could keep the broken 'plink in its plaae, he might stop the incoming 'flood. So he sat himself upon it, andbraced his feet against the cask, and thenlaalled - for help. But. he was so far away`, ' so' low down, with inch a dense magi of cargo above him, that his voice scarcely reached other ears than his owe. Souie of th 2 wen heard - him, but thought he waa talk , ing to himself. ; _ Atiththere he sat, 'with his-feet braced, for four and twenty hours, with the wa ter spurting in tiny streams all over him, drenching him to the skin. He had , thought, several limes of going to the hatchway and calling for help; but he knew that the.plank would be ;forced in if be left it, for he could feel it heaVe be neath , him. His _ fttrength was failing him—but beiould not give upl I 'asked him if he, shbfild not have, given up if . I had not come as I.did, He! answered that-he should not have done while he had life in him. He said he thought not of, hitneelf—he was ready to die—but be would . save the rest if he could—and he allied, us, surely saved us from a • watery grave., 1- _ • _ That boy lay sick almost unto death : but I, nursed him with my own hands— nursed him through alibis del4ium ; and when,bii reason returned, an he could sit up, add trlk, I bowed myeelf before him, and humbly' asked . his pardon for all the wrong I had done ; him. He tire* hie arms ,abotit my neck, and told me if ,I would be good to him) he would never giie me cause for offence; and he added as he set up again, "I 'am not a coward--would not be a dog." From that hour I never forgot those wordiratid from that hour I nay.er struck a blow on board iny ahip. I make, men I feel they are men—that I _regard them so, and* that Imish to make them as com fortable l and. happy as possihri; , and I have, not failed to gain their respect and ednfidenee. I give no undue license, but make my crew feel that:they have a friend and superior in the same peilmn. ' Nine years I j sai 10 in three different; shiPs. with the same ,crew. A man couldn't be hired to leave save for 'an officer's birth. And Jack Withers remained with me thirteen' years.

It is sugggstive of a heavy wagon jolting over a rough road, oYmnsie piayeel badly out of-tune, or anything else most disagreeable to sensitive nerves, and ii altogether most wretched end-uncomfort able both for the spectator and the per- des concerned. Occasionally, by acei-- dent they fall into keeping stepfor a while, and-fox a time they. move harmoniously and with graceful identity of Medan.. But for the most part theirprogress con sists of a ludicrous jogylety jerk: fearfully trying to comfort and temper. , This is but an illustration of the discomfort whieli some men endure through life, merely foi ignorance of knowing how to "keepstep." Man and wife bare need particularly of learning this acomplishment. As, long as they jag along life's road in the double harness of matrimony, "keeping step;" they are happy land comfortable.
