Hall, TORONTO. l-lf l-lf 11f 32-1 It was a bright morning in spring, and the English Fleet. lay riding at anchor in the harbour 01 Portsmouth, awaiting the admiral's signal to start out ' on a famous cruise. The flag-ship, a huge, for- mid-able waste], with its dark Jides bristling with guns, was all in com- motion, The admiral, “the most famous sailor of his dayI was coming ofl from the shore, and the ship was ready to receive him. Already the guns of the squadron were leginning to thunder forth their welcome,' and soon the huge vessel 'was wreathed in smoke and quivering beneath the dis- charges of her heavy ordnance, as Admiral Nelson touched her deck, surrounded by a brilliant staff. Standing near the edge (if the quarter-deck; and. watching the scene with intense eagerness, was a young lad of about eighteen. He was diessed simply, but neatly, and his 'cheeks' glowed, and his eyes kindled, as he watched the exciting eVents that were going on around him. As he returned the salutes of the otiicers, the admiral chanced to spy the llad. ‘ Who is this,’ he asked, turning to the capiain of the; wasel. ‘ He's a young lad that came on board a few hours ago,’ replied the Cap-Iain. ‘ He insigls 01.1 seeing you, sir, as he says he has some thing of importance to say to you.! But.‘ the grandsire’s chair is empty, The cottage is dark and still; There’s a nameless grave on the battle-field And a new one under the hill ; ‘ Well, my lad,’ said the admiral kindlv, ‘b‘peak out freely,’ ‘Lut him alone,’ qaid the ad? miral, laughing. ‘ What pnsilion do you want ?’ he asked, tur ning to the bov. ‘ If you please, slr,’ said the boy, ‘ I’VR comum ask you to‘ take me to sea with you,’ ‘ ls that all you have to say, you young scamp .P’ asked the captain sharply. ‘lfyou would take me as your cabin-boy, sir,’ said the lad, ‘I would be salisfied.’ , ‘ That’s a poor chance {or you il'you Wish to rise above it,’ said the admiral, kindly. ‘ It will be '3. beginning.’ replied the lad. ‘lf you‘ll give me a start I’ll work my way up, sir. You did ll, and I mean to do so, too.’ A woman is kneeling beside himâ€" A fair young form is pressed, In the first wild passion of sorrow, Against his aged breast. And, far from over the distance, The faltering echoes come 0fthe flying blast of trumpet And the rattling roll of the drum. At the ccttage door the gx-andsire Sits, pale, in his easy chair, While the gentle wind of twilight Plays with his silver hain The apples are ripe in the orchard The work of the reupers is done, And the golden woodlands redden In the blood of the dying sum Then the grandsire speaks in a whisperâ€" ‘ The end no man can see ; But we give him to his country, And we give our prayers to Thee. The admiral gazed at him kind- ly but Searchingly, and then said, with a smile, ‘ HI take you with mu on this cruise, and if you Want to rise, 1’“ give you a chanca. W hat is your name 7’ ‘ EdWard Lee,” Was the reply.- “ Very well then, Ed\vard,- I lakg: you into my service. 1 shall ex- pect you to prove yourself Worthy of the trust.’ The violets star the meadowsy The rose-buds fringe the door, Ami over @118 grasgy orchard And a pallid, tearless woman By the cold hearth sits alone And the old clock in the corner Ticks 011 with a steady drone. ‘1’“ d0 it, sir,’ said me boy earn- estlyé as e unwed aside, respect- fully, to jet the admiral pats; In two hours the " Vanguard ” stood out to sea, followed by the Lord Nelson’s Favourite. ;vfiiitrérglossoms pour; ifitemtutc. 1mm After RICII’DIOND HILL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1866. “ Let Sound Reason weigh more will us than Popular Opinion.” nth Emit squadron. to join Erl St. Vin~ cent at Gibraltar.

In the terrible gale whichflismasted the admiral’s ship, young Lee proved that he merited the’ kiudness his great commander had shown him, and won praise from all on board} Then came the brief halt at Svra- case, the arriva’t of the wished-for reinforcements, and the departure for ng pt.

The tearful en- Nelson glanced at him approvÂ¥ ‘Yes,’ muttered the boy, ‘and we’vae were, 100, before nighl.’ and despair to so many English homes, brought to these two men fame and honor. Through the whole actionthe admiral's eye was on the young “ middy,” and all through that long and thrilling summer night it never lost the gleamof satisfaction which had illumined Has he heard the young sailor’s words in the morning, The same despatch that greeted him as Lord Nelson, informed him that his request for a. lieutenancy for his young friend, Edward Lee, was granted. Steady devotion to his professienl and conspieuous bravery in timesl of danger, soon made the youthfuli lieutenant a noted man in his ma-l iesty’s navy. The battle ofCopen- hagen was a memorable day to him. It was truly the greatest battle he had eVer, been in. Though' severely wounded he refused to go below, and stood-at his post until the close of the action. When Sir? Hyde Parker gave-the signal for discontinuing the fight, Lieutenant Lee reported it to Lord Nelson. l'l‘he admiral, putting the glass to his blind eye, said. with mock gravity:-â€"â€"l really don't see the signal. Keep our flag for closer battle still flying. That’s the way [ answer such signals, Nail mine lfo the mast.‘ It seemed that the {Ortunns ofthe great admiral and his protege were mysteriously united, for this victory which made one a ,visoount, made the other at first lieutenant, though he hadjust c'ome oi age, He fol- lowed his commander, who had become warmly attached to him through all the years that interven- ed, so that when the great dJy of Trafalgar came, he was the sedond in command to Captain Hardy ' As the action began, Lord Nelson approached him. and placing his hand on his shoulder, said, ‘ We ‘are going to have a hard da}, Ed- ward. ] hope you may pass through it sal'tly.‘ ‘ I shall try to do my duty, my lord,’ said Lieutenant Lee. ‘ But,’ he added. poiming lo the uniform and docorations which the com- mander wore. contrary to his cus- tom, ‘ why does your loudship ren- ‘de-r you conspicuous to-day ’l You will surely draw upon you the fire of some marksman. . ‘ I have apreseritjmem,’ said the admiral, ' that my*'rac‘e is min.” 5'0 I have put on all my harness to- day. In honour I gained them,’ he exclaimed,proudly, laying his 'hand on the insignai ‘aud in ho- hour I will die in them, The presentimcnt was realized. It was the last xenon of ihe great 41cm- 'sailor. -Ab he-fell lo the deck' in the .heatof the battle. the capmin and Jieutenam of the 'ship Spran ‘to him, in agony 0(_grief. v With a sad heart the young man returned to his' place. The tare which had seemed to unite his des- tiny with that of his commander was equally kind on this. day; for just as the victory .was well assur- ed, a latal‘ discharge of grape, from a French ship-ot-the-line swept the deck of Lord Nelson ship. and when the smoke cleared away, Captain Hardy saw his lieutenant lying almost in the same spot where the Conqueror \oLthe Nile had fallen _with his breast torn ‘open by the terrible discharge. ‘ Go back to your post.

This all we ever find, that there is no evil or apparent evil in life, which if we only feel a deep conviction of--the goodness oi the Deity, may not be reconciled bya thousand consolaq tarv Considerations. We shall find there is scarcely an evil which is not attended bv. or productive of, a corresponding good as a. balance in the scale; and the occasions in lile will be found to be more numerous on which we have rea- son to congratulate ourselves that [things were not worse, than those on which we have to complain, ‘things might have been better‘.’ THE LADIES OF SAN FRANCISCO. ‘ -â€"â€"Tlte ladies generally dress in ' good taste Paris is_really as near San Francisco as New York, and there are many foreign families ‘ here. But the styles are not so sub dued as in our eastern cities; a higher or rather londér' tone pre- vaiis; rich full Colours and sharp contrast; the startling effecti' that the Parisian demi-mode seeks-â€" thess are seett dominating here. In eostlittess of costume, too. there is a parent rivalry among the San taneisco ladies. Extravagance is lamented as a common Weakness among them‘ and leading where fortune is so fickle as here, to many a worse one often. Perhaps in no other American city would the ladies inwiee so high per head as in San Francisco, when they go out. to the opera, or to party or ball.

Bengal, was felt on December 15(1865: at 6.30 0,, m., and between that time and 2 a. m., on the 20th of the same month twalve distinct shocks were felt, of various degrees of intensity. In Than nan Roajan the earth 9 surface cracked in several places, and poured'forth jets of water and a fine dark‘grey-coluured sand. No sand has ever been found in the deepest excavations. either at that spot or within many miles, so that it must have been forced up from agreat depth. The heaps of sand thrown out varied from the size of a molehill up to twelve feet in die. meter and three feet deep. At the cessation of the shocks the large wand-heap was still Wet, and the ground showed signs of having been recently flooded. The water rose some inches from the’ ground, and, so far as could be ascertained it was cold. it'appeprs that there are in the neighborhood several ‘ burning wall ._1 which are suppos- ed to be connected with volcanic agency, but none of them exhibit- ed any change .during the earth- quake‘iâ€"Q. On March 9, at 2 a. m., an earthquake was felt at Chris- tiania, in many places in 'Norway along the west coast at .Verblungas sand Dromheim,and the tower 0t Frauenkirche, rocked so violentl‘y thatthe bells began to ring.-â€"â€"-3 The earthquake felt in. Norway on 9th March appears to have extend- ed as far as the Sltetlands Isles. The keeper of'the lighthouse on the Flugga rock, which is situated about a mlle and a half north of Unst, reports that at 1.20 a. m. on tne same day the tower began to shake terriblv, and continued doing so for thirty seconds. There was ‘no wind or sea to cause the vibraâ€" ‘tion. and it must, therefore. be at- itribute'd to'the shock 3 of an' earth- quake. ]! the shocks felt at the Shetlands and ‘Norway are-tin any way. connected,- they 'must have proceeded in a‘northâ€"easterly'direc- tion front the ’lormer to [the latter ‘place. occupied a period “of, forty- ‘minutes ~the waves having a velpz city of about seven or- eight miles per, minuteâ€"Reader.
