SUN AND SHADOW. BY OLIVER W ENDELL HOMES. As I look from the isle, o'er its billows of green, To the billows of foam-ereasted blue, Yon bark, that•alar in the distance is seen, reaming, my eyes WI Now dark in-the shadow, she scatters the spray, As the chaff in the - stroke of the flail ; Now white as the seagull she flies on her way, The sun gleam ng bright on her sail. Yet her pilot is thinking of danger to shun= Of breakers that zhiten and roar; flow little he cares if in shadow or sun, ' They see him who gaze from the shore ! He looks to the beacon that looms from the reel, To the rock that is under his lee, As he drifts on the blast, like a wind-wafted-leaf, O'er the gulfs of the desolate sea. Thus drifting afar to the dim vaulted caves, Where life and its ventures are laid, The dreamers who gaze while we battle the waves May see in sunshine or shade ; Yet true to our course,thougti our shadows grow dark, We'll trim our broad. sail, as before, And stand by the rudder that governs the bark, Nor ask how we look from the shore ! IVLXISC,IEXAI.A.ALNIkr. THE WRECK OF THE SYLPH Long will be remembered the 14th day of June, 1850, by the inhabitants of Buf falo and Niagara Falls and their respective neighborhoods, as well as by the numerous visitors congregated at the latter place on that occasion. -- The ill-fated steamer Sylph, which was then plying between Buffalo and Chippewa, hfc the foimer port - on the morning — of — that eventful day, with some one hundred pas sengers, besides the officers and crew of the boat, on her regular trip to Chippewa, situ• ated at the head of the rapids above the Falls of Niagara. As the majority of the passengers were persons who were traveling for pleasure, and as the scenery on the Niagara river is very beautiful and in some places quite romantic, in addition to the interest with which sever al spots are invested from the historical as sociations with which they are connected, the time passed very pleasantly. All was gayety and hilarity on board, when, just opposite Chippewa, as the boat was rounding to, preparatory to landing, and, when about the centre of the stream, some thing gave way about the machinery and her engine stopped working. As the wind was blowing pretty strongly down the etteam at the time, it seemed al: 'most impossible that they should be able to steer her into shore, before she struck the rapids, which having reached, no human power could save them .from going over the Falls. Every effort, however, was made that men in such circumstances could make to avert such a catastrophe. Nearer and nearer they approached the point, where the waters, dashing percipitate ly down the shelving • bed •of the stream, roaring and surging and chafing among the huge rooks with which it is covered, fret themselves into, a foam, long before taking their final leap ovsr the precipice. What a change a few momenta had wrought in the feelings and actions 'of those on board that ill. : starred vessel. From joy and inno cent gayety, accompanied by frequent . buysts of 'laughter at some -sally of wit, jest or .IY: repartee all was now consternation , and dismay.

They had,already ado ceedid,:by extraordinary exertions, in reduc ing the distance to the shore neatly one-half, whedtbe Wind suddenly ceased blowing. ' They now gained• the shore rapidly,• and their-hopes began to revive, as the boat ap proached almost near enough for a person to have jumpod on shore, when , the, wind as soddenly .broke upon them with redoubled fury, and inopite of all their exertions; the boat wati o driving from the shore more rapid ly a moment before she had been ap proaching it. - _ And now hope died in the bosoms of. all on board; and .when,- a moment_ after, — the boat struck the rapids,- yielding themselves up to despair, they involuntarily,.as it Were, and with one accord, stink to their knees, .as the most befitting attitude in which to meet their Maker, toward whose presence -they were hurrying with such terrific velocity. What 'an awfdlly sublime spectacle ! More than one hundred human, beings in the attitude of prayer, with eyes Uplifted; some frantically beseeching,their Maker to save them from the impending destruction; while others were supplicating the throne of - heavenly grace for mercy, and praying to their Saviour to intercede for them ; rne away, as they were, with resistless energy and fearful rapidity toward the verg e of that ..ighty--estaract,--by--whose s'de _ie_ruos_t stupendous works of man dwindle into in significance, and man himself,_proud man, - feels thiT, - hiTis but - an atom, "au evanescent scintillation, as it were, and, from the ' abyss of whose-vexed and boiling waters no living thing has ever returned to life, that has , - dated--or-endured-the fear u - eap. Nearer and nearer they approach ; the vessel gliding along with the swiftness of the winged arrow and tossed about on the - bosom-of-the-raging stream-like_an_atom of foam, created from its own fretting, but with -infinitely more_ease, apparently, than the giant rends the gossamer web that obstructs his pathway. They are now on the very brink. The roaring 'waters beneath are yawning , to re ceive them. A piercing shriek goes up that rises above the roar of the mighty cata ract itself. A crash is heard, a shock is felt, and all is silent, save the roar of the mighty torrent that is surging and breaking around hem. cwho die— pursue ; Surprised at the momentary respite, some of the bolder spring to their feet to ascer tain-the cause, when a cry of joy bursts fiom their lips, which louses the rest from the state of almost suspended animation into which they had fallen, and restored them once more to ooiasciousnoss. A more careful examination of their situation, however, was not calculated to inspire them with a high degree of-hope. They seemed to have been spared from instant destruction to be subjected to the tortures of a lingering death, with the pros pea, every moment, of being dashed to atoms and swallowed up within the remoreseless jaws of that yawning vortex that seemed to be raging and roaring beneath their feet for its prey. The boat had lodged on a projecting rock, on the very brink of the precipice, and so far from the shore that any attempt at com• munioation for the purpose of rescuing them from their perilous position seemed utterly hopeless. And besides, from the tremendous force with which the raging waters beat against the boat, which now obstructed their freg passage, it seemed impossible that she could hold together longer than a very few hours at the farthest. And now the scene on shore beggars de scription. The news that a vessel had gone over the rapids and lodged on the edge of the Falls, with a large number of persons on board, spread like wildfire, and men, women and children - were - seen - hurrying toward - the-Falls on both sides of the river, and from every direction. The news having been telegraphed ,to Buffalo, the friends of many of those on board the vessel were soon added to the number of hundreds, if not thousands, who had already assembled to witness the tragic scene, and, on the arrival of the cars from Buffalo, the largest train by far that, had ever passed over the road since it bad been built and all crammed to suffocation, several hun died more were added to the throng. All was consternation and dismay. The agonizing shrieks of those on board the boat, which rose above the roar 'of- the maddened waters, and their frantic) gesticu lations. which could plainly be seen through the surrounding spray, which vainly- strove to conceal them from view, and by which they wore constantly drenched to the skin, imploring those.on shore to come to their rescue, almost-paralyzed thorn with despair instead of invigorating them with hope and stimulating their exertions. A thousand plans for their rescue were suggested, discussed and abandoned, either as impracticable,: as requiring too great a length. of time, or,as involving an additional risk of life, without any adequate prospect of success. Large sums were offered to any one who would either save them. himself, or suggest a practicable - plan by whiCh' they might be saved by others, but in vain. • Several hours had elapsed, and both sides had almost entirely despaired, the one' of saving and the, other of being saved, when• a small steamer was seen coming down- the river with the Speed .of the wind. Landing just above the head of the rap. ids,'in' an itreredibly short spite° of tithe a striall.'heat , Was,"launchod' freirr,,her, ' . bows, which ,heafa number of men froth itie tiepins et-took in tow, and started with it riewn, the rapids toward the Thesa moiernente„altranting the, attedtion of the crowd .about the 'Falls, ,who, ; Itnewio int) be some plan of :resene, And having abandoned:oV their, own; the,,ast:' throng on ;'tits'! inndi i .tatiore now -made is Onitif.taneona movement to meet - them. ' Having towed the small boat to a • poiht some two or three hundred yards above 'the Palls, the captain fastened the cable to - her bow, and the crowd having :met him,,pome distance above, he ettplainett to them his plan of Operations,'*hieh was as Tolle - Ws :' Floats _being fastened to the' cable ovary few - feet, to keep it on the surface, a suffi cient number of those on shore were to take hold of the cable, while he got into the boat to steer it, and then they .were to let out the, rope_gradutWuntiLhe_rottehed the strailded h, [ vessel. • •So confident did . he seem of success that he inspired the others with-a like confidence, and tbey.joiced in with alacrity / rendering him every assistance in their power. Having got everything._ in readiness and explained the-signals he should make,, when to pay out rope, when to stop, and when -to - haul in, he embarked on his perilous but no ble enterprise. . , . • In the meantime those onboard the Sylph were not indifferent spectators to what was done on shore. From the time the vessel struck and they found themselves alive, but their liveti suspended as it were by a single hair they had been watching with breathless anxiety for some effort• in their behalf, not, however, with any very high • hopes of its success, if undertaken. But.until now they - had seen nothin - gliint - looked-liktrarrattempt, to rescue them.

Filial Duty and Obedience. Even when parents are ill.tempe,ted and - unreasonable, - they- should - be— treated—with respect and forbearance by their children. OiTn.• p us, laiother-of—Alexander—the—Great, was a woman of ambitions disposition,. and occasioned much trouble to her son. Nev ertheless, when pursuing his conquests in Asia, ha sent her many splendid presents out of the spoils which he bad taken, as to kens of his affection. He only begged that she would , not meddle with State affairs, but allow his kingdom to be managed peace fy-bis govern - of -- , AT - atipa cr. en si e sent him a harsh reply to this request; he -bore it •atientl and did not use char • lan. 01w:r , s eds-return 0 On one occasion, when she had been un usually troublesome, Antipafer sent him let ters complaining of her in very grievous terms. Alexander only said, cAntipater doth not know that one single tear of my mother is able to blot out six hundred of his epis tles. . . A boy was once tempted by some of his companions to pluck ripe cherries from a tree which his father. had forbidden him to touch. 'You need not be afraid,' said one of his companions, 'for. if your father should find out - that you have taken them, he is so kind he would not hurt you' 'That is the very reason,' replied the boy, 'why I would not touch them. It is true my father would not touch me ; yet my dis- obedience, I know, would hurt my father, and that would be worse to me than anything A boy who grows up with such principles will be a man in the beet sense of the word. It shows a regard for rectitude that would render him trustworthy under every trial. HE DIDN'T TIIINK —So said a little boy as he stood by the bide of a mouse-trap which had an unwilling tenant in it. 'What a fool he was to go in. there,' said some one. • The little boy wished to protect the character of the trembling prisoner, and added, 'Well, I suppose he cildn't think.' No 'he didn't think,' and for the very good reason that he was not made to think. But what — Shall we say of that boy who is standing in the circus door waiting for it to be opened, or that boy with his straggling hair, a pert twist to his cap, and.a cigar in his mouth, or the one who stands at the cora ner of the streets on the Sabbath, or fre quents the company of profane' and filthy talkers and sinners—what shall we say of such as these ? Theywill be caught in an evil net. They will fall into.a hidden. trap, and can they say, 'We didn't think P. Yos; perhaps they earl , but if they tell the whole truth they will add, 'lt 'was because wo wouldn't think. They have•eyea, but they see not, ears have they, but hear not. Give a mouse their wit, and see if he will be caught in such a trap.

How do men feel when about to die—not after being weakened by disease or when the blood is heated by the strife of battle, bat when they see inevitable death slowly but certainly approaching them, and know that in exactly so many minutes it will seize upon them and extinguish the lusty life that animates their frames? Do they rage and struggle against their fate, or do they meet it with calmness, resignation and dignity? In the recent terrible colliery explosion in Saxony all the miners were not killed imme diately, as was at first supposed; a num ber of them were unharmed by the explo sion, and were killed, after an interval of some time, by suffocation. . Some of these poor fellows occupied, the last moments of their lives in writing mes sages in their note books to their wives and children, and these were found when - the bodies were discoveied. -There is 4 curious pathos in-some of these messages from the grave, bat the calmness and resignation which they manifest is their most notable' feature.' These men, in the very presence of death, had thoughts for every one but themselves. "Dyer wife," writes one of them, f'take good care of Mary ; in a book in the bedroom you will find a thaler, ,Fare well, dear mother and sisters, till we meet again " Ocie'by the .
