NEGRO DEVOTION. "An English gentleman and bis lady, who were on their passage to the East Indies, in one of the vessels of an English

fleet, paid a visit to the admiral's ship, j leaving two young children in the care of a negro servant, who was about eighteen J

years of age. A violent storm arising during their absence, the ship containing the two children was fast sinking, when a boat arrived from the admiral's ship for their relief. The crew eagerly crowded to the beat; but the negro lad finding there was only room for him alone, or the two children, generously put them on board, and remained himself on the wreck, which, with the noble boy, was immediately engulphed in the ocean.' The foregoing anecdote gave existence to the following poetic effusion, from the pen of Sebck Gsborn, Esq. one of our best native poets. Trem n fous howl the angry Uat! The boh!t hearts with terror quake! Il -h o r the vei 't tutierme must The liquid mountain! Ctrtt-Jj Irtik ! Each eje is LeJ in viid despair, Arv! 'ieath ii; lai s its terrors there !
