A young min on a throne 1s not half so sublime as an lbld man in an 'arm chair; My grandfathei‘; the ld§t {main of 1 whose life lapped a little over the first years of mine, was 2t man of middle height, cémpactlrame, activerai'terial temperament, and iron will. lie was a sea-captain, a gentlihe “old 'salt,” train- ed from boyhood under a tarpatili'd hat, v-- and was as familiar with the “paths of the sea” as a shepherd with those of a sheep pasture. Spending his life in making extensive voyages, he was seldom at home long enough at a time for the salt spray to dry on his weather beaten . *cheeks; and there was hardly a port on the habitable globe 1n which he could not shake hands with an old acquain tance, either civilized or savage; In deed, his home was on the ocean; and his family, like an ostrich egg, was bid on the shore while he was gone. His history was, Of course, crowded with many interesting personal adven- tures, frightful perils and curious inci- dents that fell within the world wide range of his eiperience an}: observation. The most of these, at the relation of ,which childish ears used to tinge and my 'e‘yes ’dilate With won‘dér, have be- caiii'e so ilede'd in memory as to be in- capable of a tolerable narration.

L W1 {bu a Vlvaul us suing-u Bu J ust before the last plank was haul- ed 1n, a stranger Stepped hurriedly on| bozir'd and inquired for the captain’ 3 state- -roomr Being Conddcted thither, he entered, and with a slight how ac- ecsted the captéin', who sat writing at his desk. ,flYotj are bound for Liverpool, I he. i licve, sir ?’ ‘Yes sir.’L ‘ ‘1 am in poor health ; and, intending to spend the winter in Italy, wish to get a passage on the first ship that sails for iEurope. \Viil you take a passenger?’ “ â€"_ Iâ€" ‘Yes, sir, if my accommddatioua will suit you.’ ‘No matter about the accommodations, captain; 1 am an em Eailor; and know 50% to aceofiimodate myself. Besides the trim of your ship suits my eye.’ The allusions to his health attracted my grandfather’ s scrutiny, and the 1n- trodnction of himself as an old sailor touched his heart. , ‘ On noticing him mm particularly, he was struck with an indefinable feel- ing of curiosity and sympathy at his ap- pearance. Tall, straight, and rather slender, he was dressed in fine black of the same color and quality. A two- edged sword, common at that time on shipboard, and imprOperly called a cut.- lass, was partly covered by his cloak, and hung at. his .side wflithout a sheath , His hair was 41111.0 gray , and his fea- tures were manly, and would have been handsome had they not. been consider-1 ably emaciaiecl, which circumstance gave 11npleasant pronhnence of several scars more or less on differenl. papts of his face.

The 16653911655 of his black gloves gave evidence tbalh ehad lost a. finger or two from his left. hand. Thesc observations were made by the‘ captain while the stranger was looking at a beautifully finished sextant thatlny upon the table, and had for a moment- attracted his attention.

The stranger scion made his appear- ance above debit, and was politely in- vited aft by the captain, who naturally wished to learn something of his history ; I but noticing that lie was not inclined to { conversation, he left him to his own meditations, wrapped in his cloak and 'leaning over the rail. Silent and pen- sive, he reclined there, gazing intently upon the sublime scene around, the heaving swell of the sea, now chopped by the increasing wind, the distant sails that seemed motionless and glued to the western horizon; and then out upon the‘ dark, boundless and boisterous deep, over which the sombre wings of night were already hovering. What were his thoughts? Nobod‘y linbws.
