ilived anin wpofeaman,
Ifttrwas tradig along thb bast,
Wlo ilo. carried onin a sh
eoi ed the Nancy Ainand his voy.
agqs iAually extended as far' as Nor
f f aod an old negro named
n ng the crew. On a re
d 6 aefrom Norfolk one night,
- the Vney Anu danced gaily over
t crippled surface of tie bay, before
a - e jlo breeze, our trader standing
a helm, as was his custoin-fo
piouh he had occasionally trusted
S64niwith that place in p1leasait
Sller, during the day-time, yet lie
nrot suficeent confidence in. Sam'a
rAhmship t;Sallow him the gnidance
o vessel at night. The weather
ir the voyage down and return
p to hi0s time had been exceed
rough, and the trader was quitu
elausted for want of sleep, and his
lneesspt labor at the biehn. The
hight was one of exceeding beauty
all thestars seemed to be on dress
J. bde, the plane ts playing generals,
h the mneteors as aid-de-campe; not
speck of a cloud was visible from
horizon to zenith, and borne belore
the brecze, the Nancy Ann glided
smoothly along on her homeward
cours;, without requiring a motion of
tie tiller.-Everything seemed so si
- lent and fine, and our trader, as we
hace said, being much exhausted
caticluded that this was a good op
portunity to obtain a little repose.
and .that for once lie would give Sam
the tiller. So enlling him aft- for
Sam, true to the characteristics of his
rOe, delighted in sleep, and was
thon enjoying a snooze anong tire
coi s of iope forward-thus he spoke
-'Samn, lam very sleepy and tired
-I must have a imp. The weather
is so fair that I'll give you the tiller.
But you rust follow mny directiois
strietly.. Do you see that star up
there?' 'Yes, rniassa,' said Samin,
'Well, then, that is the north star.
*Now take the tiller, and keep her
h-Ilread towards that star; don't let her
fall off, you black rascal, or I'll
whale you. If anything happens,
rouse rme immediately. Now minird
your eye.' 'Aye, aye, massn!' said
'own went the trader, and soonr
he was 'wrapped in the arms of Mur
phy,' as the Irish have it, while Samlr
kept the Nancy's head to the star.
'ime wore apace, and the schooner
skhntied along. Aboard ship many
thiings induce drowSiness -the luncli
11ess of the situation, the monotonous
washinig of the waves against the
sidejobthe vessel, the rushing of the
ripples dietern, and the mourniftil sing
ing of the breezLe through the cord
& age-all of threse had threir inifluenrce
upon Sam; added to w~hich was the
mesigerie ell'et of gazing fixedly at
anyjarticular object, as Sam did at
the northn star. Yielding at last to
the sumurorilic inrfluences wich sur
rounded hun, Sam closed his eyes,
and commenced a basso accompani
mrent to tihe alto snore of iris master.
Whilst they slumbered, old 2Eolus.
wtho is always brecezinig about, resolv
ea1 to play a ,ranik upon tire careless
seaman, so Ire let lose a Norwester,
vhic-h no sooner streek tire Nanev,
than sire wore round, arid start-d off
befor-e the wvind like a wild horse.
SMeamvbile tire sky became u'ereast,
-the dress pairde was oiver, tattoo
beat, lights put out, arnd the stars
snug in their quar-ters. A way wenut
the Nancy, as if frightmeneud at her
snorm g crew. Presently, tire spr-ay
whshirng over tire side, gave Sam a
astronchring, and aw:akened him to ai
~Ysense of duty. Quite bewildered, hr'
looked about him, all w~ as dar-k. -
A Forward, iluara di, anid star-boar-d, hre
gazed ini searchl of his beacon light
rot a star was to be seen. Suddenly
heatrne to look arste rn, arnd there,
fraway in t!.oinirth, wirere thre
clouds had left a strip of blue sky, hre
saw Capricorn fliekering just aI)ove
the hror-izon. Pleased at iris discove
ry, hre r-ushred below, seized the tral
den- by the shroubiler-, and shaking hin
violently, cried out-Massa! nmassa!
G~itnup! git up! and shnow~ rme'inoder
Ay .1 am pass d it 'un!'- Aew
1%%~ Spirit of the 2Tmes.
-Darng HIouas.--Thre are ihours,
dar-k hrours, that mark tile hristor-y of,
the brightest year. For not a whole
~uidnth in any of thme mnillions past,
pd-ha~ps, has tihe surr shone brilliantly
all hie time. And there have been
cold. and stermX days in erery year.
And yet tire nusts rand shamdows of tire
dar-kest hours a~re dissipiated, and
fitted heedlessly away. T1hre eru
oest of tire ice fetters hav'e been bro
kenr and'dissolved, and the most fuiri
da~s stoi-~lohses its power to harm.
Arid what a tvararblo is all this of
humnan~ life, of our inside world, where
the heart works at its deStined labors.
11ere too, we hamvo tire over-shadow
ings~f dark ihours, arit marry a cold
., blast chili tire heart to its cor-e. .Rut
what mTatters -it ? Man is hern a
hero 4 it is only by darkness arnd
stor-ms tliat heroismn gains its greatest
dd best developmtent arnd illustration,
tilen it kindles tihi black cloud into a
blrto of glor-y, and theo stom bears it
mor rapidly to its destiny. Despair
di', then. Never give up; while one
49I power is yours, use it. Disap
ja ittment will b)e realrized. Mortify
uro mav attend thia effort and

s4'Uggl on, and it will all work well.
RApe.liey of Wasl,
Most persons are aware that whon
the Bastile was demolished at the
beginning of the Frenclh revolution,
the key of' this famtious prison house
was presented to General Washit.g
toin, as the fittest depository of this
instrument of tyranny. Ile, the
great champion of liberty, n as very
properly chois to be the keeper of
this key of the 'terrestial bottomless
pit.' It is still preserveil at Mount
Vernon, and can be seen in the large
hall secured in a glass case. It is a
b)ack, rude, huge cross-handled key,
and looks as if it might have been
forged by the Cycloi.s. 'lie Bastile
was for ages the State prison ol'
France, in which all the prisoners be
longinlig to Iobility 11111 highser ordel rs
were conifinied. Thie kin- himself or
his ministers ceuld h . mi-ans of 'let
ters du catchet,' S -iz'e any persn on
any pr'etext, and keep him it its dul
geons without trial -' inrpsiry for
Years. Somne unfrtunatt indivi:h11als
were s) cnelinsel for nearly half a
century. Vhen once this horriUle
key turied upon them, they were hot
alike to theit- friends and to the wr'lI.
Many of the nAblest spir its in France
have here breathed their last inl dark
unhealthy cells without aceusation or
crime. 'The history ol the world can
hardly furnish a I parallel to the Cruel
ty and oppression enieacted withinl the
walls of the Bastile. Whei the ven
geance o' the people laid it low ini
1789, many old grey-headed lrison
ers were set free who hal been so
long insanured that tly regretted the
restoraUt in l' their iiberty. I op.o
and ambitiou hall hieen extingis1.shed
