They are marked, “Original.” There is a fervency and a soul-longing in the lines that reminds us of the prayer of Hezekiah, KingZof Israel, when, with the portals of death wide open for him, he turned toward the wall and prayed for lift. How t1 ue it. is that when w are w ears and faint with the toils of this world, when we have quafl‘ed the sea of pleasure up, that our minds turn backward with “strong yearning and passionate pain,” to the time when our ambition was hounded bv our Mother’s arms, our world lit up by the love-light of her eyes, and we were “rocked to sleep lovingly, softly,” to her “lullaby song.” Backward turn Backward, 0. Time in yourflight, Make me a. child again; just for to-night! Mother, come back from the echoless shore, Take me again to youriheart as of yore. Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care, Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair, Over my slumbers your loving watch keep, Rock me to sleep, mother'roek me to sleep ! Backward, flow backward, O tide of years! I am so weary of toils and tearsâ€" Toil without recompence, tears all in vainâ€"- Take them and give me my childhood again! I ha ve grown weary of dust and decay, Weary of flmgiug my 3 ul-wealth away, Weary of 8( win g for others to reap: Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep! Tired of the hollow, the base. the untrue, Mother, 0 mother, my heart calls for you! Many a summer the grass has grown green, Blossomed and faded our ’3 ces between, Yet with strong yearning and passionate pain, Long 1 toâ€"night for your presence agzin ; Come from the silence so long and so deep ;‘ Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep! C ver my heart in days that are flown, No love like mother-love ever was shown, No other loving abides and endures, Faithful, unselfish, and patient like yours; None like a mother can charm away pain From the sick soul and the world-weary brain, Slumher’s soft calm o’er my heavy lids creep. Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep! The murderer had apparently been afraid to approach on account of the dogs, for the body was left as it had fallenâ€"not even the rifle was gone. No sign of Indians could be discovered save one small footprint, which was instantly pronounced to be that ofa squaw. . Susan showed no grief at the sight ofthe body; . she maintained the same forced calmness,and ‘ seemed comforted that it was found. Old Wilton staid with her to remove all that now remained of her darling husband. and his two sons again set out on the trail, which soon led them into the open prairie, where it was easily ' traced through the tall thick grass. They continued riding all that atternoon, and the next morning by daybreak were again on the track, which they followed to the banks of a wide but shallow stream. There they saw the remains of a fire. One of the brothers thrust his hand among the ashes, which were still warm. They crossed the river, and in the soft sand on the Opposite bank saw again «the print of small moccasined footsteps. Here they were at a loss ; for the rank prairie grass had been consumed by one of those fearful fires so common in the prairies, and in its stead grew short sweet herbage, where even an Indian’s eye could observe'n'o trace. They were not the point of abandoning the pursuit. when Richard, the younger ofthe two, called his brother’s attention to Nero, who had ofhis own accord left his mistress to accompany them, as if he now understood what they Iwere about. The hound was trotting to and fro. wit-h his nose to the ground. as if endean oring‘to pick out acold scent. Edward laugh- ed at his brother, and pointed to the track of a deer that had come to drink at the river. At last he agreed .to follow’Nero, who was now cautering slowly across the prairie. The g pace gradually increased, until. on a spot where the grass had grown more luxuriant l-y then elsewhere. Nero threw up his nose, gave a deep hay, and started off at so furious a pace that although well mounted, they had great difficulty in keeping up with him. He soon brought them to the borders? of another forest. where, finding it impossible to take their horses further,rhey tethered them to a tree, and set off” again on foot. They lost sight of the hound,;but still from time-time heard his lr. ud haying far away. _. At last.they fancied it soundedinearer instead of becoming less distinct ; and of this they were soon con- vinced. They still went on in the direction whence the sound proceeded, nntilthey saw Nero sitting with his .forespaws against the trunk of a tree, no longer mouthing like twel- ltrained hound, but yelling like a fury, . They looked u in the tree, but'cOuld seenothing’j until at fast Edward copied a tug. hollbw about, half way . up the trunk,- “I 'm .‘ri‘ght, Come let your brown hair just lighted with gold Full on your shoulders aga in as of old, Let it fall over my forehead to-night, Shading my faint eyes away from the light, For with its sunny-edged shadows once more, liaply willthrong the sweet visions of yore, Lonnrly, softly, its bright billows sweep; Mother, dear mofher ! the years have been long Since I last hushed to your lullaby song ; Since. then, ard into my soul it. shall seem Womenhood‘s years have been but a dream.

It began to'totter, when a dark object, they could not tell what in the dim twrlight, crawled from its place of con- cealment to the extremity of a branch, andl from thence sprung into the next tree. Snatch- 'f ing up their -' rifles, they both fired together; when, to their astonishment, instead ofa bear, a young It‘dian squaw, with a wild yell, fell to the grotnd. They ran to the spot where she lay motionless, and carried her to the borders of the wood where they had that morning dismounted: Richard lifted her on his horse, and springing himself into the saddle, carried the almost lifeless body before him. The poor creature never spoke. Several times they stopped, thinking she was dead: her'pulse only told the spirit had not flown from its earthly tenement. “’hen they reach- ed the river which had been crossed by them lefore, they washed the wounds, and sprinkl- ed water on her face. This appeared to re- vive her; and when Richard again lifted her in his arms to place her on his horse, he fancied he heard her mutter in Iroquois one wordâ€"“revenged I” It was a strange sight, these two powerful men tending so carefully the heirg they had a few hours before sought to slay, and .endeavoring to stanch the blood that 'flowed from wounds which they had made! Yet so it was. It would have ap- peared to them a sin to leave the Indian wom- an tn die; VP! they felt no remorse at having inflicted the wound, and doubtless would have been better plea-“ed had It been mortal; but they would not have murdered a wounded en- «my, even an Indian warrior, Still less a squaw. The party continued their journey until midnight, when they stopped to rest their jaded horses. Having wrapped the sqnaw in their hear-skins, they lay down themselves with no covering save the clothes thev wore. They were inano Want of. pro- V'isIOns. as not knowing when they might re- turn. they had taken a good supply of bread and dried venison, not wishing to lose any precious time in seeking food while on the trail. The brandy still remaining in their; flasks they preserved for the use of their cap- ' tit'e. The evening of the following day they ireached the trapper-’3 hut, where they were not a little surprised to find Susan. She told their that although John Wilton had begged he live with them, she could not bear to lea she spot where everything reminded er of one to think of whom was now her only consolation, and that while she had Nero. she feared nothing. They needed not to tell their mournful taleâ€"Susan already under- stood it but too clearly. She begged them to leave the Indian woman with her. “You have no one.” she said, “to tend and watch her as I can do; besides, it is not right that I should lay such a burden on you.” Although unwilling to impose on her the painful task of nursing her husband’s murderess, they could not but allow that she was right; and seeing how earnestly she desired it. at last consented to leave the Indian woman with her. For many long weeks Susan nursed her charge as tenderly as if s‘e had been her sister. At first she lav almost mntionless, and rarely spoke; then she grew delirious, and raved wirlly. Susan fortunately could not understand what she said. but often turned shmlderingly away when the Indian woman would strive to rise from her bed, and move her arms as if drawing a bow ; or yell wildly, and cower in terror beneath the clothes, re- acting in her delirium the fearful scenes through which she had passed. By degrees reason returned -, she gradually got better, but seemed restless and unhappy, and could not bear the sight of Nero. The first proof ofrz- turning reason she had shown was to shriek in terror when he once accidentally followed his mistress into the room where she 133*.â€" One morning Susan missed her; she search- ed around the hut, but she was gone. without having taking farewell of her kind benefac- tress. A few years after Susan Cooper (no longer “pretty Susan,” for time and grief had done their work) heard late one night a hurried1 knock. which was repeated several times be- fore she could unfasten the door, each time more loudly than before. She called to ask who it was at that hour of the night. A few hurried words in Iroquois were the reply. and Susan congratulated herself on having spoken lmfore unbarring the door. But (It listening again. she distinctly heard the same voice say. “Quickâ€"quick !” and recognized it as the Indian woman’s whom she had nursed.â€" The door was, instantly opened. when the squaw rushed into the hut, seized Susan by the arm. and made signs to her tb come away. She was to much excited to remem- ber then the few words of English she had nicked up when living with the white woman. 1 Evpressing her‘meaning by gestures with a; clearrzess peculiar to the Indians she dragged 1 rather than led Susan-frcm the hut. They’ had just, reachedthe edge of the farest when ‘ the wild yells ofthe Indians sounded in their ears. Having gone with Susan a little way into the-forest her guide left her. For nearly [our hours she lay there half-dead with cold and terrer. not. daring to move from her place of concealment. She saw the flames of the dwelling where so many lonely hours had been passed rising above the trees,- and heard the sh rill "whoops” ofthe retiring Indians.- Nero. who was lying by her side. suddenly rose and save a low growl.

Having heard the sad story, Wilton and two of his sons started immediately for the spot. Nothing was to be seen save aheap of ashes. The party had apparently consisted of only three or; four In- dians ;‘but a powerful tribe being in the neigh- borhood, they saw it would be too hazardous to follow them. From this-time Susan lived with the VVthons. She was as a daughter to the oh! man, and a sister to his isons, who oft- en said : “That as far as they were concerned, the Indians had never done a kindlier action than in burning down Susan Cooper’s hut.” On Sunday last three seamen belonging to the American ‘ship T. W. Sears were bathingJr alongside the vessel, when one of them was seized by a shark. The monster first seized him by the shoulder, but the force with which he rushed on his victim caused him to lose his. hold, driving the unfortunate man several feet out of the water. The shark again seiz- ed him by the back, and finally by the neck, and disappeared” with his prey. All this hap- pened within plain view of his shipmates, who immediately lowered a boat, and after taking on board the two other men, proceeded to drag for the body. They had been occupi- ed in this way for some time, when the shark was observed to rise at some distance from them, still with the body ofthe hapless man in his mouth, shaking it, as is described, as a dog would a rat. armed himself with a boardingpike, and rowed towards the spot, and the shark wasso much occupied with his victim that he allow- ed himself to be stabbed several times before again disappearing. , . Thinking the animal had received his death wound. the boat re- turned to the ship, but scarcely had she ar- rived alongside, when the shark appeared as before. A harpoon was now taken in the boat. and the shark allowed himself to be ap- proached sufficiently near to be struck, when he again disappeared. Line was now paid out, and the boat was towed some distance, till assistance arriving, the monster was kill- ed by repeated stabs of the lance The mate of the vessel . Most of the contents of his maul" were disgorged while being hauled on board, and on being opened, some fragments which were unrecognizable, tended to be a British l’ost Captain, but who,‘ most of the passengers thought, acted veryi much like a Southern man. He now avowed- himsclf as Captain Semmes, of the “Scrum ter;” said he got a letter from the British Consul at Laguayra to Lord Lyons, and had ' been introduced by the latter as a British sub- ject. to Mr. Seward and other oflicials at Washington; and he said he had visited our army on the Potomac, 8m. None of the Northerners know him, but Captain Lanman thinks he does. The Southern ladies claim they were informed at New York that Cap- tain Semmes was aboard.

He had been one ofthe many whose heels had preserved their lives at Waterloo’s celebrated suave qui pent, and Consequently had a hatred to all Englishman To gratify his intended extensive system of revenge, he had practised pistol firing till he had arrived at such perfection in the art, that he was cer- tain of hitting an opponent in any part of the body he pleased. Many had been the victims to his cool, calculating malignity; he had become an absolute nm sauce, for he would not be shunned. One evening at the Frascati gambling house, a green and young lohn Bull, with more money than brains. had been very much excited by continued losses. He was sitting apart from the players, the picture of spleen and self-re- proach, when this runaway lVaterloo hero approached him, and making some rude ob- servation both on the youth and country ol the infatuated gamester, langhted outright.â€" A verbal explanation of such insultihg con- duct was demanded and refused. This proved too much for the excited Englishman, for, with one determined blow (a la mode Ang’aise) the atonished French ruliian was in an instantptanchyse, in the corner of the, splendid saloon, to the momentary disturbw ance of the host of gamblers. Cards (couture ordinaire) were exchanged and a meeting appointed; pistols were their weaponsâ€"i They gambled even for the first shot, (thel custom), the Englishman won it, fired and missed his man.

CAPTAIN SEMMES, OF THE PRIVA- TEER “SUMTER.” It has'been already announced that Capt.- Semmes, commander of the privateer “ Sup-- ter,” had arrived in Europe, though conni- erable doubt is thrown over the statement.â€" The following extract of a letter from a gen- tleman who went out in the steamer " Edinm 'hurgh” may throw some ltght on the sub- ject: “ An accident occurred which creatt quite a stir yesterday in our ship. A M Souvan, of Baltimore, a young, handson- widow, appeared at the dinner table with a secession flag wrapped around her, and made herself, very conspicuous. Several parsnip gers complained of it, but as Captain Rankin was not present, the matter passed by till ‘9‘ time, when she again :ippeazed with it. The widow claimedto be a relative of the Carroll who signed the Declaration of Independence. At the tea table a warm discussion took place about the flag and the union, the consular gentlemen taking part in it. Suddenly a: champion appeared for the flag, in the person of a man who had all along in the trip pres. tended to be a British Post Captain, but who,‘ most of the passengers thought, acted very."- much like a Southern man. He now avowed- himsclf as Captain Semmes, of the “Scrum terg” said he got a letter from the British Consul at Laguayra to Lord Lyons, and had been introduced by the latter asa British sub- ject. to Mr. Seward and other officials at Washington; and he said he had visited our army on the Potomac, Ste.

One of them claimed she had sold Confederate bonds in New York. “ I C C lalu DUIIIHICS lClllUd tU UUU. “ About 140 Irish disembarked here, going to stay in Ireland till the war is over, as ho“ inesa was dull m America.” “ Yours, c. f -__ A- as faithful a deiinéatiou'as could possibly b0 regaru.

Beauregard sleeps little; h-‘IcClellan’s temperament requires full share of rest; both are; spare and Spartan in diet, studious, quiet. Beauregard is rather sat- muine, and, if not melancholic, is of grim gatety; McClellan IS genial even in his re- serve. The density of the hair, the Square- ness of the jaw, the firmness and regularity of the teeth, and the oulines of the features are points of similarity in both, which would be more striking if Beauregard were not of the true Louisianian Creole tint, while Mc- Clellan is fair complexioned. Beauregard has a dark, dull student’s eye, the dullness of which arises, however, from its forma- tion, for it is full of fire, and its glances are quick and searching. McClellan has adeep, clear eye, into which you can look far and deep, while you feel it searches far and deep, into you. Beauregard has something of pre- tension in his mannerâ€"not hauteur, but a fooling-armed, meditative sort of air, which seems to say “ Don’t disturb me ; I’m think- ing of military movements.” McClellan seems to be always at leisure; but you feel at the same time you ought not to intrude too much upon him, even when you seek in vain for the grounds of that impression in anything that he is doing or saying. Beaureoard is. more subtile, crafty, astute; McCle lau il more comprehensive, more learned, mere impressionable. Beauregard is a thorough soldier; McClellan may prove himself a great general. The farmer only looks to militarr consequences, and disregards po’pu- lar manifestation; the latter respects the opinion of the outer world, and sees political as well as military results in what he orders. They are both the creatures of accident,» far as their present positions are concerned. It remains to be seen if either can control the current of events,aud if in either the artillery man or cavalryman of the old U. S. army there is the stud aroused with which history is moulded, such as that of which the anili- leryman of Brienne or the/leader of the Iron-u sides was made.
