ST NAM* oaf
The dear old rook* I used to love,
How grand they (till appear,
1 gaze tbio* memory «a them «till,
More now in !o e than fear.
Bow high they teemed to childiih thou't,
Almost to pieroe the skies,
r nh rooky point a wonder seamed
That opened wide the eyes.
I see myself a gipsy child,
A "nut-brown little maid
With dark shy eyes, and look askance,
Of half the world afraid.
With gay companions, full of glee,
I mount the rocky bight,
I hear again the raer y shout,
1 feel the cheeks grow bright.
The same old wild ñowers greet ray sight
Their fragrance fills the air,
A mingled perfume, dearer far,
Than Indian essence rare.
Onoe more I press the old moss lock;
Or dancing, wild with mirth,
Feel that no Queen has ever trod
° A brighter 9pot on earth.
1 bound again from roek to rock
Tili standing high o'er all,
1 glance below and laugh to see
The walking world «o small,
1 seem to see the lovely view,
To breathe the air so pure
And note the gleaming Ihro' the trees
Of far away Nemours.
My own dear cottage home lies hid,
Embowered in the trees,
Save where the lark and willows wave.
Aside wi'.h every breeze,
The lovely river far away,
Looks silver like and clear,
Blue as the heavens, it mirrors, and
As silent to the ear.
All gone! ah no, the memory livoi,
Bright, beautiful,—too dear,
Filling the present with its flower
From many a faded year.
Trouble and toil may dim the eye,
May crush nut mirth and glee,
Bat bright anil fair as the sun Jit air,
Are the scenes of memory.
The wheel whirled around; the huge
mil came heavily in $ and then a moment
of awfiil raspease followed. Would the
schooner lie any closer? She quivered and
seemed to drift bodily toward the surf. I
grasped a rope instinctively. A groan
se from the iittle crew.
"Cut loose a reef," thundered the captain.
" Never mind untying, but out with your
knives. Stand by, some of you, to haul
and belay.*
The expedient was little snort of madness.
But it was our only hopo. It seemed as if
all was over. As the sheet flew out, it

¡at love reveal
ing us headlong through the giant billows,
while the water foamed around, rolling in
cataracts over the deck, gurgling and his-
sing as it swept astern.
Keep her to it," shouted the captain,
holding in the weather-ratlins, as he watch-
ed the straining mast above,
Just a head, the breakers ran out into a
long point, beyond which was comparative-
ly smooth water. If we could weather
that point there might be hope. We were
shooting toward it, with the velocity of an
bxpress-trairi. If a rope should part s if the
wind should lull for a second ; if the cur
rent should get stronger, we would be lost.
Even without these it would be doubtful
whether we could r 9p by. The spray of
the boiling surf was already around us.
At that moment came a roar as if the
heavens wore exploding. 1 glanced, fear-
fully, up, supposing it was the main-sheet
splitting. But no 1 the stout sail stood firm.
I saw the mast, however, bending like a
whip-stalk in the gale, a sudden increase
in which had caused the noise. At the
same instant, the schooner crashed through
a great billow, throwing the foam in catar-
acts over us, and when I next looked to
leeward, the breakers wore whitening as-
tern, and we were in comparatively deep
water.
We could scarcely credit our escape.—
For a moment or two, the crow gazed silent
and bewildered on the receding surf, as if
aroused from a dream. Then, simultane-
ously, all brote into a huzza.
"Thank God!" said the captain, beside
me, " a little more, and I should never have
seen Mary or the children again." And I
think he wiped a tear from his eye, with
the cuff of his jacket, as he turned away.
A moment after 1 heard him, in his old
voice, from which every particle of emotion
had passed away, say to the man at the
wheel,
"You may ease her a little: the shore

It would seem that the apothecaries
were formerly a very sober class of men
for aocordiug to the old standard they had
three scruples to a dram: but whatever
these scruples originally may havo'\been,
some of the apothecaries of our ovij day
have got over them.

" Three 1" said the old gentlemán, who

"Easily done, sir—very easily done.—

bov, laying his knife on the first, "jind ain't

disk to our eyes. Ilie ••• ; had t.p a'
constant moaning, euch as can uin,. Le
heard in the more wintry months, when the
seas are roughened with continuous foam,
and the icy breezes of Labrador sweep
down our stormy coasts. As night drew
on, and the clouds grew gloomier in the
northern horizon, the gale sang shriller
than ever through our rigging, whistling
wildly along over the fast blackening wa-
ters, and making us shiver involuntarily.
The breeze, too, was perceptibly damper.
Snow-flakes began to fall.
" It's going to bo a wild night," said the
oaptain, " and I fear Hatteras is under our
lee. We must close reef and get an oifing."
He spoke anxiously, so that all thoughts
of sleep were dismissed from my mind ;
and going below for my 'nor wester, I pre-
pared to spend the night on deck. As the
hours wore on, the storm increased ; the
wind howled wilder through our hamper ;
the rain drove fiercer across onr decks.
The cold was intense, and the rain became
at length sleet. Out to windward, only
the wnite caps of the billows could be seen:
to leeward, nothing but a waste of driving
foam met the eye. Oh ! how we longed
for morning.
At last the dawn came, but slowly and
heavily, as if unwilling to supplant the
night. To eastward, the dusky clouds
were seen, heaving like a misty curtain.—
Gradually the light increased, the dusky
curtain parted ; but a micty veil still iiung
over all. The schooner groaned as ^lie
struggled on, now sinking into the trough,
and then rising, buoyant as a duck, and
shaking the spray gallantly from her sides.
Suddenly I was startled by the voice of the
look-out shouting,
" Breakers ahead!''
I looked to leeward. There, hardly two
cable's length distant, they were, just dis-
cernible through the dim light: a whirlpool
of white, angry foam. A tremendous cur-
rent combined with .the wind to drive us
toward them with frightful velocity.
" Hatteras, God help us I" cried the cap-
tain, at my side.
How often had I heard that name as a
same of terror; but with only a vague idea
of it after all; for I had never expected to
be brought face to face with it and death.
But now I was in the very presence of the
dread monster, whose ravenous maw had
devoured thousands, whose bowels were
full of the bones of countless victims. 1
could almost throw a biscuit into the break-
ers. In less than five minutes I wonld be
in their midst.
These reflections rushed across me, swifi
as lightning, during the pause which the
captain made, to take breath. Then his
stentor voice shouted,
"Down with the helm. Haul in the
thms. Hard—harder."
