LIFE'S ONLY MORNING.
BY MRS, L. O, ARELL,
There comes a thonght u:‘y‘m
As the sounds of this w are all still,
1t is of life’s beautiful morning,
That comes but once over the hill,—
What glory beams through the thin vapor,
As its sun through the light clouds uppear,
Till & flood of ineffable splendor,
Peurs down on youth’s easiy career!
Our life has only one morning,
When its flowers are all blending with dew,
When the birds our love are all singing,
And our friendships are ardent and true,—
The light of youth's morning of Leauty
That shines on our hife’s enrly hour,
Will tinge with its crimson and purple
The leaves of pale memory 's lower,
Life but one morning 7 a treasure !
Oh the wealth of each glad beaming ray !
Tts white clouds are all fringed with silver,
And lined with the rose blush of day—
Its sky is clear with deep azure ;
Its lake mircors all in its breast ;
The groen trees wave with rich verdure
Containing bird thoughts in their nest.
Oh, look np in earnest admiring ;
It is Life's only moning you know ;
Let your heart with achievement aspiring
Some good on each fresh hour hestow,
Oh, lose not one of the diamonds,
That encircle the whole of Life's day ;
"hoy will cateh the beams of the morning
To gild the last of its way !
Miscellany.
From Eliza Cook’s Journal
An Adventure with Pirates,
The West Indian Seas have long beep in
fested by pirates, of savage atrocity and des
perate valor. They are composed of men of
all pations,~ruuaway sailors from English,
Danish, Freneh and Dutch vessels,—~though,
probably, the larger portion of them are men
of Spanish race, natives of Cuba, or of the
old Spanish settlements of the Southern States
of America. The attacks mude by these men
upon our merchant vessels, have considerably
diminished of late years, éhlefly becanse of
the increased activity of the cruisers of Britain
and the United States, and also becuuse of
the general prosperity of the shipping trade,
which renders it easy for any honest salor 10
find remunerative employment in the com:
mercial marine.
I had taken a passage on board the mer
chant brig Mary, at Balize, and we were on
our voyage to Liverpool, when the following
iocident belell me. It made a striking im
pression upon me at the time, and | shall
pever forget it.
I had seen the captain standing on the alier
deck, and from time 10 time, eagerly survey.
ing with his glass some object 10 our wake,—
1 walked up to him oo one of these occasions,
and inquired what he was trying to make out,
end whether any vessel was 10 sight,~for my
own eyes could detect nothing.
“T'here is a strange vessel in sight, sir.’ he
snswered, ‘but 1 can't quite make her out.’
‘She may be one of those Bristol traders
that were nearly ready 1o sail when we left
port.’ i kAo,
~ *No: she doesn't look like one of that sort.
She seems of some bastard rig; but we may
make her out by and by’
*You do not think we are pursued ' | ask
ed, feeling alarmed, as landsmen are usually
disposed 10 be, at sea, when they encounter
anything that looks mystenious.
‘Really, I cannottell,’ was his answer ; ‘but
I suppose it will be time enough 10 cry out
when we're likely 10 be hurt.’
And so saying, he strode forward with his
glass. 4
~ Night fell, but the air was so hot and stifling
below, that I found sleep next to impossible,
If | slept for a moment, 1 was haunted with
dreams of pirates, sharks and shipwrecks; so
I burried on my clothes, aud agaio sought the
deck. ,
The moon was hall way up the heavens,
end not a cloud was in sight ; countless siars
of wondrous bewuty and brilliancy gemn.ed
the sky, and the heaven was flooded with their
light. A long live of quivering rays lay flash
iog on the bosom of the sea like u vein of
quicksilver right under the moon's eve. All
was quiet, peaceful, and beaunful; it was a
maguoificent night, such as is only to be seen
within the tropics, and not often even there.
The winds were almost dead. The gent
lest possible breeze filled the sails. just enough
1o set them to sleep, though vot to prevent
them giviog an idle flap now and then, when
the vessel rolled a little heavier than usual on
the long swell. Nothing stirred about the
deck. The watch bad disappeared forward:
but I found the captain still on the alert, and
agaio surveying the remote object he had be
fore surveyed through his night-giass. 1 did
pot interrupt him again by my questionings ;
I paced the deck in the delicious night air;
but my attention was shortly atiracted by the
sound of the boatswain's shrill whistle calling
the watch. Orders were given by the cap
tain, and every stitch of sail was crowded up
on the ship. Each mast bore its full load.
As | stood aft, and looked up, the sails secm
ed, in the moonlight, like towers of snow set
agaiost the dark blue sky. Jo a few minutes
all was still again, the vessel seemed to make
better way through the water, from the in
creasing ripple of the wavelets heard against
ber sides. Drowsiness gradually stole upon
me, and [ went below again to court my pil
low.
I was startled from my slumbers towards
morviog, by the sound of slarmed voices and
of hurried tramping oo deck. | threw on
my clothes, and hastened up the companion
ladder ; on my way up | met black Sambo.
the cook. Though Nature had putit out of
bis power to look pale, the poor fellow looked
the picture of terror. The pallor of fright
seemed positively struggling through his skin,
and bhis features had that expression of alarm,
which terrifies more than even the pallid
cheek or quivering lip.
*For God's sake,’ | asked, ‘what is the mat
ter
*Sharks, Sa!" he replied in an intense whis
per—seemiogly afraid to speak above Lis
breath.
‘ls that all ??
*All!" he instantly said, ‘Pirates, Sa !
‘Where 1’ | asked, my heart suddenly
bounding against my ribs.
*Tee ” said Sambo, and be pointed afi.
I looked io the direction indicated, and my
eyes resied on an object yet at some distance,
but enough to strike fear into the stoutest
beart. It was the strange ship, which the
captaio had been scanning the preceding night,
#nd there could now be little doubt as to her
character. A smart breeze had sprung up,
sod she was vapidly gaining on us. Her ng
and hull were now recoguized by some of the
sider hands on board ; she was & notorious
pirate ship, in full chase of our vessel, and
but for some merciful wterposition of Provi
dence, we seemed doomed oy capture.
1 walk€d up 10 the capiain, ‘Well sir,’ 1
oBid, “the secret's at last oy,
‘Yeeosir, | knew ber from the first, but
tried the chance of an escape, not knowing
whether she might Liave seen us of not; but
you see we have failed. She is one of the
most determioed pirates in these 888~ man.
ped by a crew of about the biggest ruffiing
that ever trod » deck.’
Ry, ~WS |
‘But what is 10 be done ' | asked. ‘Sure.
!,.%ou do not thiok of offering resistance 19
*There is vo other way for it; at all events,
we must try. We may wing her, and ehcape.’
‘But. il you fail, you wiil only bhave exaspe
rated them, and provoked their revenge '
*Resist or vot, we bave ne merey 1o bope
for (rom them, and my miod's made up.'
*But what mesns of resistance have you?
Your vessel is sbori manned ; you are with
out guos or smunition.’ |
‘You have vot yet seen our means; and
such ae they sre, we must use against that '
'“.. en—
His eye glunced sgein in the direction of
the pursving ship. She was along, low, her- |
‘ maphrodite sort of cr ft, evidently very swifi, ;
| Her foremast and bowsprit were immensely
' #trong, and of great length, both covered wire
| crnviss, under a press of which she cawme
‘bowling along, the now freshening breeze hl- |
ling her sails. The rapidity with which she
gained on us, showed that we had no chanct |
of an escape by flight. Our every rag o l
canvass had been for some time set, and the
old lumbering ship heavily laden as she wae, |
went snorting and grosning through the wa« |
ter. The match was as unequal as beiween
a cart-horse and a thorough bred racer. :
Turning my eves again towards the deck, I |
found the men all activity snd bustle. One |
group 1 observed busily engaged 1n breaking !
and sawing oid iron hoops and spikes. These |
were grape shot!
‘But wheie are the gnos 1" | asked of the ’
captain, [
l *You shall sce prescntly,’ he replied ; ‘the
[ men are dragging them from their conceal
| ment below, for we carry more than the reg
ular number. In the meantime, may 1 ask
[ you to go below, and break the matter to your
| tellow passengers. There may be some ol
| the genilemen not nnwilling to aid io the de
fence of the old slup. At present | cannot
! leave the deck. My wife !"—a shudder seem
[ed to pass across his foce, and he added—
[*would to God she had not been here!”
’ I pressed his hand, and went below, Need
1 say what sereaming, sobbing, and crying
there was, when | iformed my fellow passen
‘eeu of the danger so near at hand. Some
fell upon their koees and praved, who nevey
‘ prayed before ; othersshrieked, and gave way
[ to the wildest outborsts of grief: some swoon
| ed, and fell down as if dead. One tender girl
there was, fair and graceful, beautiful as light,
who displayed the most charming courage
and sell possession. She was on her way
'home 10 Englind, in search of the health
| which she bad lost amid the hot swamps of
the tropics. It might be, that she felt the
hand of death already upon her, and the ties
| that bound her to life were thus feeble. She
, tried to soothe the shrieking women, cheered
those who seemed as if siricken down by their
J terror, and she urged upon sll to reflect, that
lir was their duty rather 1o aid and encourage
those who were about 1o risk their lives for
{ their protection, than to embarrass and distress
{ them by shrieking and clamor. The captaiu’s
{ wife, I found, was more composed than the
| others, and she sugeested that the other fe
males should at ouce proceed to disguise
themselves in ordinary seaman's clothes, and
procecd upon deck, so if possible 10 escape
] deteetion, in eveut of the ship bewg boarded
by the pirates.
| Lleft them engaged in these preparations,
and hastened upon deck. | found that the
men had vow dragged from their concealment
nine eighreen-pound carronades, which were
mounied and ready for action. Some were
bosily engaged in londing them, each with a
round sho' and o bag of iron cuttings, broken
nails. and musker balls—=the most destructive
kind of grape. They worked as if life and
death depended upon their efforts, which was
indeed the case. Of the eleven gentlemen,
passengers oo board, nearly of all pations, the
greater number, wi'h praiseworthy alacrity,
aided the crew in their projorations for de
fevce. All the guos, rifles, pistols, swords
and cutlasses which the siip could muster,
~were brought on deck, and distributed among
the passengers and crew,
The pirate #hip was fast approachiog, and
was almost within gun shot. We could see
her deck distinetly, and perceived that it was
crowded with men ; booms and all were filled.
She was evidently well armed. for we saw six
guuns of a side, and a long guo on pivots, plant
ed in the fureeastle. The occasional gleam
of steel caught cur eve. We suw a man, ev
idently a person in command, standing in the
shrouds, with a polished speaking trumpet in
his hand, closely scanning us. He wore
white trowsers, and had a red sash bound
round his waist, On bis head was a broad
Panama sombrero, the now burniog sun ren
dering such a defeace highly necessary.
Notwithstandmg, however, the steadiness
of the pursuit, the stranger seemed as yet un
certain what next to do. To be sure, we had
a fair show of men on board; and though we
stlll carried a full press of sall, there seemed
to be about us no evidence of great haste to
get out of his way. Our men were all at
their posts, and they evinced that steadiness
and resolute bearing, which the English sail
or geverally displays in moments ol trial and
danger. The pirate, seemingly undecided,
kept off and on ; vow hauling her wind a Jit
lie, and keeping away fiom us—now pressing
closer 1o our wake, but as if irresolute wheth
er to attack us or not.
Bur our attention was suddenly attracted in
another direction, by a uew object of interest,
~perhaps of danger,
It must here be observed, that we were now
off the coast of Cuba, where high lands to the
west of Cape Maize, rose clear and strongly
defined against the nothern sky. One of the
old hands on board poioted out, pot very far
off, a spot which he assured us was one of the
most noted piratical haunts in Cuba.
*These fellows, said he, ‘even venture out
in their boats to attack and board merchant.
men of the first class. | have known' e
‘Boat ahoy!" sung out the man on the look
out.
*Where away 1"
*Under our fore foot.’
And sure enough there was a boat almost
in our track, though at first sight, there seem.
ed nothiog in its appearance (0 excite either
suspicion or alarm,
‘Keep your eye on that ere, captain,' was
the remuark of the old seaman at our side.—
Aod the captain, to do him justice, seemed
alive to the necessity of keeping a sharp lovk
out iu all directious.
We were soon within hail of the boat, and
perceived that there was only one man visible
on board, who seemed as if fishing with a rod
and live at the boat's bow. An immense tar
paulin covered the boat which was as large as
a jolly. The only circumstance which ex
cited our suspicion, was an object, very much
like a carronade on a pivot, planted (orward.
and on which the man sat, as if to conceal it,
He soou hailed us in Spanish—
‘Hay algo de buuce, paro ius probres pes
cadores !
Our Captain, not nnderstanding Spanish,
bailed in Eoglish. ‘Hilloa, sir, what are you
about there?
‘Feeshin," was the man's reply. *Will buy
feesh 1’
‘Aod what kiond of fish do you catch here,
80 far ont at sea !’
‘All sorts, sare,’
‘And what's the use of that gun I see at
your bows 1
‘Ah. sare! keep off de pirates wid dm.’
*Now men," suid our captaio, ‘I smell some
devilment here. Whatever happens, be ready,
calm and collected; we may have double dun
ger 1o run. | fear this is a pirate’s trick.—
Sambo, (turning to the black conk,) see that
the poker is kept red hot, snd be ready to
band it up.’
‘Ay, ay, Sa:' said Sambo, showing his ive
ries: for Sambo's poker had been appointed
10 do the duty of port fire or match,
We were within less than pistol shot of the
boat, when we observed u sudden bustle under
the tarpaulin. The man at the bows changed
his position, pointed the carronade in the di
rection of our brig, wnd bang '—« round-shot
went whistling through our foresail. At the
same instant, the larpaulin was thrown off,
with a shout, and some thirty balf naked,
fierce, and savage looking ruffisne dhplujod
themselves to view. They were of all shudes,
of colors, from the black African to the fair
Biscayan : and they were of all tongues, if
one might judge from the howling snd dis
cordant voices which rose from among Ihem
But we had liile time to thiok of this, for
the scoundrels immediately saluted us with
volley of their small arms, which, howeve
did but litle damage,- though | saw one «
our men fall. The others were with difficul
ty restrained from firing upon them:- the blac
now brandishiog his heated poker. But th
Captaio shouted out—'Forbear! not a she
till I give the werd !’
The pirate boat now rapidly approached
and her crew fired another volley upon us
but firing npwards, and our men being shel
tered by the bulwarks, no damage was thi
time done. The ruffians were now close up
on us, and [ could see their gleaming pike
and cutlasses ; the pistols and long koives i
their belts; and their fiendish aod revoliin
looks. There was a faint scream of the fe
males on deck. We seemed as il alroady i
the pirate’s power,
But our turn for action had now come !=
I'he boat had almost struck the ship's side
Iwhen the clear voice of the Captain wa
heard—
‘Now men, steady! Run out the guns

{ ship, beseeching our mercy. A hoat was low

[ to the deck.

might be, certain it 1s that they parted com.

. The joy of the crew and the passengers,

'scarcely be Jescribed. The Captain was
'quite beside himsell with Joy. and seemed al

' Double. if not treble allowance of grog was
im-rw-d out to the men: and the Captain and

FurLron anp CHANCELLOR LIVINGSTON. ==
The following interesting locident, which oe
lcum-d in the early history of contemplated
steamn pavigation, has been communicated to
“us by an old Knickerbocker, whose memory
’of past events is (resh io his recollectivn. It
brings to miod the names of two great meo; '
ove 8 genius to whom the world is greatly in- |
debted, and the other a name which New '
Yorkers, at least, will ever remember with
pride. They are the names of Roserr FuL-
ToN and CuanceLLor LavingsTon. ?
Aiter Fulton was fully convinced that a
steam engine could be constructed so as to pro
pela boat, and finding that he had no means to |
enable him to prove the fact to the world, and
not being able to satisfly any American capi
talists of the feasibility of his discovery, he
went to Europe 10 see if he could meet” with
more encouragement among her capitalists, |
He wished to test his discovery upon a come
prehensive scale. But he returned uosuc
cessful ; having met only the derision usually
applied 10 utopians and monomaniacs. On
his return 1o this city, he accidentally met in
Broadway, near Rector Sireet, Chancellor
Livingston, who acensted him thus :
‘Well, Fulton, you have been 10 Englaud
and France, und as [ am informed you have
been unsuccesstul. Do you stil! "hold the
opinion that vessels can be propelled by steam?”
*1 do,’ s4id Fulton. f
*Well then,” said Liviogston, ‘how much
do {ou waunt to test the experiment !’ '
I ¢ ’wam.' said Fulton, ‘fifty thousand dol- |
ars. ‘
~ The reply of Livingston was one that just- |
Iv entitles Lim to the lasting admiration of
postenity—:Call at my office,’ said he, ‘to mor
row “borning at 10 o’clock and receive my
check for the amount.’ ‘
Fulton did call, and he did get that check.
This enabled him to build one or two boats |
'und the reality of his discovery was proved 1o
the world. T'his crazy man suddenly became
an astonishing genius. A boat was built ;
called the Chancellor Livingston, which ran |
between this city and Albany. The Hudson
River should always have on its waters a boat
called the Chancellor Livingston; a man
who had intelligence enough to distinguish
true genius (rom visionary eothusiasm, and
hberality and patiiotism sufficient to supply
the meavs to enable that genius to show it
sell and confer upon posierity untold benefis,
should at lesst not be forgotren. |
If poor Jons Fircu, who predicted, many
years before Fulton’s discovery, that rivers
would yet be navigated by steam, and whose
superior sagacity was met only by derision
aod contempt, had hal o Chancellor Living
ton as a friend, the steam engine would have
been twenty-five years ulder than it pow i, =
But pour Firch died in obscurity, and was |
buried on the bank of one of the \600(”0 nv.
ers, where pight and day stately steamboats |
pass his sileat grave.—~N. Y. Despatch. 11

former 18 not iuconvenienced in blowing. The Piano

those that follow, viz : Loss of Muscular Energy, Physical
Lassitude, and General Prostration or any o’ the conse
quences of youthful indiscretion, or lndulpnco of the pas
sion in riper years, render it the most valuable medicine
ever discovered, In fact as a remedy for the abeve com
plaints it stands unrivalled and alone, There is no other
reliable, or nnx that has authentically received the sanc

these lisorders (Emissions, &c) were incurable., This

Dr. Woodward, of the Massachusetts Insane Hospital,
writes of one of Lis patients being cuced by ullng this cor

my patients, while in Boston, ;;:m:urod some of your Cor.

he commenced taking it, while Lefore he had two or three
‘aweek. When heapplied to me,” says Dr. W., *“lthought
it hurdly possible for him ever to regain his full strength,
I prescribed the usual medicine used in those cases in the
hospital, but they had no effect. In the meantime, he
rnrchmad some of your Cordial, which has effected a cure,
am satisfied no other medicine would. I shall ever re
commend it, whenever an opportunity occurs,”
The Medical Journals have not, in a single instance

Xu.encnn Balsam, of which 1 understand ruu are the pro
prietor. Aboui vne year ago T was severely afilicted with
the Piles, o that | was not able tostep or move ; the swel
lings protruded 1o the size of hen’s eggs, and I was in such
pain and distress that my friends lhml(fm I should be
crazy, and [ was in fact in such pain and distress, that [
hardly knew what I was about. I gotavial of your Great
Awmernican Balsam and used it according to directions, and
intwo days I was entirely cured, and [ have been per
fectly well even 1o this date. 1 have used no medicine
since the first two days I used your Balsam. [ cannot
therefore neglect to recommend this Balsam to be used ix
all cases and by all persons who are in any way troubled
with the Piles, as [ am fully persuaded that it will effect a
cure, however severe the tase may be,

Dmf'l‘(m Van Hambert, Physician to the German Fe
male Infirmary, having used the above Pills in his
rivate practice, for the la ttwenty-five years, and in the
i-‘eumle Infirmary under his care, for the last fifteen, with
such unparalleled success that he feels in duty bound to
let the world, a vd especially the female partofit, have the
benetit of his reseurch and experience.
The number of Females admitted annually from differ
ent purts of the kingdom intothe infirmary,areabout three
thousand, all laboring under obstruction, suppression,
green sickness, or some irregulirity, as may be seen by the
annual reports of the Institution, I'hey have likelise been
extensively used throughout the United States for the last
thirteen years with the saine astonishing effect.
In every instance have the pills proved successful. The
pills invariably open those obstructions te which females
are liable, and bring nature into its proper channel,where
by health is restored, and the pale and deathly counte
niunce, changed to a healthy one.
