But 'tis sad to remember, when Memory flows In a dirk turbid stream, over deep buried woes; When the loved and the lost in bold contrast arise.

-'So wickedly I did,

God's laws I did forbid,
As 1 sailed.' Oxn warm afternoon in Januarv, 13 ,
caulking away on the stowed fore-topmast-staysail of the sloop of war F , then lying at anchor in the pert of Valparaiso. The said btowed-staysail 13 a rioriGUs place to 'sorer at any time, for the
retting keeps one from rolling overboard, and Number-three canvass is as soft as (some kinds of) down; and it is well out of the way, and free from those bothersome interruptions, so common on the decks cf men-of-war. 1 cannot, it is true, recommend said staysail as a siiulkmg place at sea, for while a
fellow is dreaming away about 'sweet hearts and !
wives, the officer of the deck may rub hie eyes 6ud denly, and the following dialogue ensue: Lieut. Forecastle, there!'
Menl. Manth"i fV-topmast staysail halyards. f'iy?crs .Vufc. 'All manned, for'ard Sir. Lieut. 'Hoist away the staysail.' and then up goes our downy couch, and overboard goes the dreamer; and a cold bath is not always pleasant, even in warm clirnates, especially when so applied. These are pull-backs at sea, but in port, there is nothing of the kind to fear; so I, Jack Garnet, snored away in most magnificient style. Alas! however, no man can sifely count upon any thing in a man-of-war save a Hogging, which he i pretty sure to get, from one cauc or another. While dteaining about 'T.Iary and Co. ns above, my slumber.; were dispelled by a Kick from a gocd-vnturcd forc-topman, who rode down the stay to inform me that the tirt-cutter was called away; and turningcut, I heard the boatswain's mate 'making my number,' that i, roaring out 'Jack Garnet! Pass the word for Jack Garnet! 'Here you arc,' said I to the boatswain's mite, as I jumped from the forecastle into the waist.
Get in the boat, you Sir,' said the lieutenant of j
the watch, who was standing at the gangway, and look out for half-a-dozcn when you return. 'Ay, ay, Sir, I promptly replied. I took my oar, we shoved off, let fall, and gave way. We had no officer on board save a mid, and I was at Crst at a loss to know where we could be going; but after pulling half an hour, we boarded a merchantman w hich lay at anchor, far out in the harbor, beyond Little Cape Horn, and nearer Point Angels
than alparaiso. hhe was in some trouble having suddenly and by accident come to anchor, while sailing out of the harbor, the cat and fish of the starboard bower having parted, and there she lay w ith seventy fathom of cable out ahead, and her sails whipping the masts in fine style, every thing having been let go by the run. Ycu Garret,' said the mid, as he went up the ship's side, 'stay in the boat, and have your nap out, for you remember Mr. Harrison promised you half-c-nzen: so sjet ready for it. Ay, uy, 8tr,' I replied, and sitting down in the stern-f hcts, the pointer being made fast cn board the ship, I proceeded to obey orders, while the restot the boat's crew began to heave up our friend's anchor, and so forth. It is one of my rules, never to borrow trouble, and so I napped away, my dream beginning where it had left oi! on board the sloop-of-war: and I enjoyed myself and the rest of them in true man-of-war style. " How lerg m slumbers may have lasted, I know
rot, but I wus at length awakened bv the rollin
It! ha!' reared t pojeesmafi: FIvt, iodetdi Where re "you bound, Mr. Commodowl" By this titnI had collected rny scattered its, and perceiving that they er lowering & boat, I made no reply. I was ppeedily picked up, and taken on board the
brig; and a glass of half-and-half being given me, I found both eyes and tongue, and while telling my story, I saw "that the bng was large and heavy, mounting ten guns over her bulwarks, having no ports, and full of men. These were rather suspicious particulars, and I was glad to find that the person commanding was in the best of humor, being greatly amused by my narration. Well, well!' said he, after a long fit of laughter, since you are Commodore of the American fleet, I must treat you civilly: so, for'ard there! Cook, give this man some breakfast. While discussing said breakfast, and ricking my brains to think whereaway I was, the truth suddenly flashed into my mind that I had heard something slid in Valpariso about a piratical vessel which had been seen off the coast of Peru. The story was, that many merchantmen had been plundered by her, but that no violence was ever offered to officers or
crew, by the pirate's crew, unless they resisted, nor even then any thing more than was necessary to
subdue them. Cargo never was touched; all they wanted was gold and silver, and that being surrendered, they always went off peaceably. They were spoken of as a horrid looking 6et of fellows, com
manded by a remarkably handsome young man, all speaking a strange language, and unable to understand a word of English, Spanish, or French. It was also said that they w ere usually Been near evening, and that at night, though frequently in plain sight, they would always suddenly disappear, and though frequently seen and chased by men-of-war, they always disappeared entirely at night, while in the day, they sailed like the wind, laughing at pursuit. My informant also said, that th piratical vessel was a brig, with painted port?, carrying ten guns, and a long twenty-four pounder on a pivot. All this was true of the brig I was now on board
Tfcta, fra!1 La cocticuad. Erery gun was discharged at once, aad at tha inPlant, tire hogsheads tsisrn blew up with a tremendous report, aad the oczzn, end the firmament, were
of. She was heavily Fparred, her canvass while, and raking masts while her sharp bows, beautiful shear, and clear run, at once convinced me, that though manned by imps and commanded by Satan, she was as sweet a craft as ever ploughed the sea. When I had finished my breakfast, and related
my yarn to the hands forward, who, though hideous looking rascals, spoke English as well as I, I was ordered aft again to meet the scrutiny of the captain, whom I had not yet seen. He was a small man, below the middle size, slender form, delicate
limbs, and a fuce so smooth and round that he did ! not 6cem to be over eighteen, while his voice ' was melody itself, being low and exquisitely modulated. Having heard my story, and assured me of kind treatment, he demanded to know of me what ships were in Valparaiso Bay, inward or outward bound, and what men-of-war were there, the state of things ashore, what vessels were expected, and where from, and lastly whether I had heard any thing said about a pirate off the coast of Peru. I answered these manifold questions as fully as possible, and in reply to the latter, said what I had heard,
adding, truly, that the English sloop-of-war T was despatched a week before to protect the merchant service from him. This last item afforded him much amusement.
"Well, my lad,' he said 4it will be a long time before they catch us, for we are, as you see that same pirate, -friends to the sea, and enemies to all who sail upon it. We are short of wood and water, and must go into Valparaiso to fill up, net however, till your sloop-of-war comes out; but since you say she is about to remain there, I will entice her out. You can now take care of yourself. I shall not ask of you any duty, and as soon as I can, will set you ashore. It was now about noon, and the brig, which had been lying to since 1 was picked up, filled her maintop-sail, made all sail, and boarding her starboard-tacks, was off with the speed of light, South-by-East, to make Point Angels, leaving my boat adrift. The Andes were yet in sight, and Valparaiso not far distant, so that in an hour Point Angels was in plain view, and at four p. m. we entered the bay, steering straight for the F . All hands were now upon deck, and to do them justice, the brig was worked admirably. The long twenty-four was hauled aft, and pointed over the taffrail, while the rest of the guns were cleared
away, and double-shotted. All this preparations for action rather puzzled me, for I could not think that

The tackles, etc., were

mate taking command; but shortly after returned from
below, dressed as a woman, and directed our motions, though all orders were given by the mate. In half an hour we were near the F , on her weather-bow, standing as if to cross her wake. When within three hundred yards, she sent up a
light in her mizen-ngging, and fired a gun, which in nautical parlance means, 'Heave-to. I wish to speak
you.
We hove-to, accordingly, in true merchantmanstyle, while the F backed her main-to'-sail , as became a crask sloop-of-war. What ship is that! hailed the first lieutenant, in the short, peremptory manner proper for a man of his dignity. The Three-Sisters, of New-Bedford,' replied our first mate, taking the Yankee twang in a most admirable manner. Where are you from, and where bound, and what's your master's namel continued the first luff.

swell was long and regular, and the wind blew steadily from the er.uth, and she kept straight upon her course, mounting the waves gallantly, as if sensible tint her voyages were not yet ended, and that she should again !lcat under the stars and stripes of the Land of the Free. The sun next day was high in heaven, when my slumbers were dispelled by the report of a mueket and a vcicc hailir-r: ' lint 'hoy!' I rose and looked wildly around. I was in the epen sra, now Etnooth and tranquil, no land in s'ght, while offa hundred yards, a large brig was lying to. The hail was repeated: Boat 'hoy!' Fleet! I replied, mechanically, for the captain or the I was the senior officer on the ttation, and I had not yet forgotten the usages of tho first uttr.
When day-light was fairly gone, our cantain had
ordered signal-lanterns to Lc sent up to the main skysail-maat head, and nt each yard-arm, in order to challenge the F to continue her chase, and now (eleven o'clock.) the F being at least ten miles astern, he ordered mast and yard-ropes to be rove, and all hands to stand by to rig ship.'

Some large spars were brought aft, double-purchase-tackles were rigged on the main tnat. and on the teffrail, lntches were opened, and whips and top burtons rigged nn the stays. Some hogsheads containing fire-works were tossed overboard, but kept in tow, and numberless other preparations made iii less than I can write them. All readyV hailed the captain. All ready.

Koscixsko in Love. The following is an inter
esting extract from Falkensteins Biography of this exalted Patriot. It shows that he was susceptible
in a remarkable degree of those feelings which do honor to human nature: 'Upon his return from Poland, Kosciusko entered the army, and, as a proof the King's approbation, of his abilities and application, almost imme
diately obtained a company. But this, the natural 1 career of a poor nobleman, possessing military ! talents, was speedily intt'iruptcd, at least in his native land, by the influence of tint most universal of passions, against the arbitrary power of which not even the wisest can shiold themselves. Kosciusko fell in love with a maiden, raised by birth and fortune, far above his pretensions, inasmuch as she was th daughter of one of the grand dignitaries of the kingdom, Joseph Sosnowski, maishal of Lithuania and vice-general of the crown. Towards the end of the year 1777, circumstances, which he then esteemed most fortunate quartered Kosciusko regiment in Lithuania, and the enamored officer himself in the marshal's castle. He
made good use of the opportunities thus afforded him to gain iho affections of the Lady Louisa Sosnowski. But, once secure of her heart, Kosciusko adopted a frank and honorable course. "The young lady first confided her attachment to her mother, and then Kosciusko, with tears, and kneeling nt the father's feet, confessed his pure but unconquerable passion. The parents, blinded by hereditary pride of ancestry, and exasperated at the idea that the splendor of their ancient house should be dimmed by their daughter's marriage with an officer of rank so inferior, prohibited all intercourse between the impassioned lovers, and to insure the observance of their prohibitions, placod spies npon their slop?. But love found means to deceive the nrgus eyes placed over them, and knit two young hearts closer and closer to each other. "Kosciusko now driven to despair, proposes an elopement. The lady agrees; all is arranged, and the happiest result promises to crown their liop- s. Under the shade of a dark night they effect their escipe from the ensile, attain, seemingly unpursued to some distance, and a warm embrace speaks their
mutual congntul.itiony, and the bright hones of ...... t . . .
uTiion urn are oawning upon their hearts. But a sudden noise startles the lovers from their dreaj of bliss; the marsh d's people surround and attempt to seize him. Kosciusko was stunned by a blow ind lft in a state of insensibility. He rt-gtined his consciousness, crawled feebly and despiirintjly to the ne .r-st vlluge, wIk re one of his friends was quartered, c .
