A CRIMEAN INCIDENT,

The outer trenches guarding,

And from the harries of Shannon.

They sang of love, and not of fame ;
Vorgot was Britain's glory;

But all sang "Annie Laurie."

Under its tender passion,

Dear girl, 1m* mom he dared not speak,
Yet, as the aoog grew louder,
Something upon the soldier's cheek
Washed off die stains of ponder.
Beyond the darkening ooean burned
The bloody sunset's embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
: How English love remembers.
And onoe again a fire of bell
Rained on the Russian quartets,
With aeream of shot, and burst of shell,
* And bellowing of the mortars.
An Irish Nora's eyes are dim
For a singer, dumb and gory;
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of "Annie Laurie."
Ah, soldiers! to yonr honored rest
Yon truth and valor bearing;
The bravest are the tenderest?
The loving are the daring.

The night ?u far spent as the gallant
Memphis glided proudly on her course.
Leaning over the toll-rail were two persons
in the blue uniform of the continental army,
gazing half-vacantly into the dark water.
Oue was a young officer, who, to judge
by his fair features, could not have seen over
twenty summers ; his form was well mould- i
ed, and showed signs of great physical I
strength.
Ilia companion wan an old tar, whose I
weather browned visage had been roughen- i
ed by the storms of some fifty winters; yet
beneath that ewggh estenor fatal a warm and i
true heart.
The persona thus introduced to the reader
were Narvil Le Roy,the young commander '
of the sloop of war Memphis, and Paul 15cc- '
with the gunner.
"Why this silences Pawl fashed Nnrvil,
glancing at the gunners thoughtful ritage.
'I fear there liaa l>e?o foul play on shore,"
replied the gunner. <
-Why, Paul I"
"We have not seen the signal, and?" 1
-And what, Paul f" t
-I fear*the villaiu Rogers has been at '
work." 1
-1 trust all is well, yet do you not see a 1
dark object approaching us!"
-Where!"
"Iu the range of that high bluff off a leaward."
-Ah 1 yea, I can see it now."
-Can you make out what it is !"
-It is Carl's skiff."
-Then we shall hrivc news from Newbe2,"
added Nai ril, gazing anxiously towards
e approaching boat.
It was a small skiff, its pilot being a youth
clad ia coarse sailor's garb. For a moment
he dropped his oars aud gased earnestly towards
the Memphis, and then as if being satisfied
with his scrutiny he again grasped the
oars, and in a few moments was on her deck.
-What news from the shore!" asked Nardil,
grasping the youth by the hand.
-Sad news," replied the youth. 1
Then let me hear it all, Carl, for it warn 1
better than this suspense,"
-Mr. Lae has been arrested for treason

-And wh*t, Carl! let me hear all."
"Mai^e* has been torn Jrom her home."
. "My God 1 why was it suffered to be,"
sighed Le Roy.
"Whene were they taken to!" asked Paul.
"Oa board a small brig that lay in the
stream."
-Which direction did they take!" asked
Harvit.
-Southerly."

gallant Memphis bad changed her course,
and was plowing the blue waters.

In a narrow room in the cabin, was the
aged patriot, Julian Lee. He was now a
prisoner, and in the power of the Colonel.
Yet he feared not for bis own safety, but for
his child's. The solitude of his room was
soon broken by Rogers, who came to ask
him the hand of b? daughter.
"Then you spurn the offer t" asked the
enraged Colonel.
**I do, and the one that made it," returned
Mr. Lee.
*'Hm death, then, lost all its terrors to
yon!"
"I would sooner oourt death, than hare
my child an castor to her eountry."

himself by the fair gill's side.

"The Colonel immediately took the glass
and after looking at the strange craft said,
It's the Memphis, Captain Lee s vessel, and,'

Rogers words were true, for the brig was
overhauled, and after a struggle was captured.
The vidian who would have taken
the life of Julian Lee, was killed in the encounter,
and his body was consigned to the
waves.
As morning broke over New York, the
Memphis was homeward bound ; while upon
her deck stood a small group consisting of

A si an named Porter, savs lie onee had
a clerical frieud bet preen whom and hitnself
lliere existed great intimacy.
Everv Saturday night as Poller wan witting
balancing his cash, a note would come
requesting 'the loan of a five dollar bill P
The money was always returned punctually
at 8 o'clock on Monday morning. Put
what puzzled the lender was the Parson always
returned ike very identical note he
borrowed. Since he had discovered this fact
ke had made private marks on the note;
till the same was handed back on Monday
morning. One Saturday evening Porter
sent a five dollar gold pieoe, instead of a
note, and marked It. Still the very same
coin was returned on Monday. Porter got
nervous and bilious about it; he could not
sleep at night for thinking of it, he would
awake his wife iu the middle of the uight
and ask her what she thought of such a
ilrango occurrence, lie was fast boiling I
over with curiosity, when a note came from 1
the reverend borrower, one Christmas eve,
asking for the loan of ten dollars. A bril
liant thought struck our friend, lie put ou
his great coat, resolving to call and demand 1
an explanation of the mystery.
When he was shown into his friend's study
ho found him plunged in the profouudest
melancholy.
"Mr. * said our friend, 'if you will
answer me one question 1 will let you have
the ten dollars-'
'Iiow doe* it happen that you always repay
me money you borrow on the Saturday
night in the very Mine coin or uole on Monday
morning f
The parson raised hie head and after a
violent struggle, as though he were about to
unveil the hoarded tny?tery of his soul, said,
in (altering tones, 'Porter, you are a gentleman
and scholar; a Christian and a New
Yorker?I know I can rely on your in viola
bleeecrecy?listen lathe secret of my eloquence.
You know that I am poor, and
when 1 buy my Sunday dinner, 1 have seldom
a red cent left in my pockeL Now 1

that I might feel ;; occasionally as I preached

my knowing that 1 have a five dollar bill in

to hear me preach to-morrow, 1 thought

twenty thousand men into Independence

to leave tho deposits where they were, to
uphold the great bank in Philadelphia.?
Still lie did not say a word. At !a>t one of
our members, more fiery than the rest intimated
that if the bank was crushed, a rebellion
might follow. Then the old man
rose. I cam see lain yet.

How TO WRITE KOR A NkWSPAI'ER.
There is nobody permitted to write unintelligibly
for our paper but ourselves. Our
unreadable manuscript a day as much as
the genius of our composing force can master.
Therefore, every one that expects to
have his communication printed so as to
make sense, must take the trouble to write
it no the whole collected talent of the office
shall be able to decipher its meaning. It
would take more than one Champollion to
unravel some of the hieroglyphics sent us
for English. Further, it is desirable not only
that our correspond en ts should write in
their mother tongue in their father's hand,
but that they should do it on one side of
the paper only, our printer* not being spiritualists,
with a faculty to look through a
sheet and read what i* on both tide* at the
same time.
