sits even now at my side; her handsome and intelligent countenance reading
in my face the varied emotions to which the tracing of these lines give
rise. Devoted Aleuka is my loving and much-loved wife.

A SONG

BY JOHN WATERS.

Time was I thought that precious name
Less meet for Court than Alley;
But now, no thrilling sound hath Fame,
No clarion note, like SALLY!

There seems at first, within the word,
Some cause to smile, or rally;
But once by her sweet glance preferr'd,
Ev'n Heaven itself loves SALLY!

The world moves round when move her Eyes,
Grace o'er each step doth dally,
The breath is lost in glad surprize;
There is no belle, like SALLY!

Old hearts grow young, off flies the gout,
Time stops, his Glass to rally;
I hardly know what I'm about--
When lost in thought on SALLY!

Sometimes she's small, sometimes she's tall,
I can't tell how, vocally;
For there's a spirit over all,
That beams abroad from SALLY!

A spirit bright, a beam of light,
Ah! fear not that I rally--
No man can Evil think in sight
Of this pure-hearted SALLY!

And yet Time was, I thought the name
For Court less fit, than Alley;
While now, no herald sound hath Fame,
No clarion note, but SALLY!

NUMBER THREE.

Under the circumstances related in my last number, it will readily be
inferred that sleep was out of the question. The only alternative was to
sit or lie down and meditate upon the next change which might befal us.
There was but little disposition for merriment at such a time and place;
yet there was one man, named John Young, but called by his companions 'Old
John Young,' who in despite of empty stomach and aching limbs, amused
himself and annoyed all others by singing a line of one and a verse of
another, of all the old songs he could recollect from his earliest
boyhood; dispensing his croaking melody with such untiring zeal as to keep
the most weary awake had they been inclined to sleep.

At break of day we began to try to move about, and gradually straighten
ourselves, which was something of an effort, stiffened and benumbed as we
were with remaining in our wet clothing so many hours. We had now an
opportunity of examining our habitation. It was a building of about four
hundred feet long, by seventy-five or eighty wide, three
