(F rom (he Boston Olive Branch.]
ON THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN JDSIAII STCRGIS.
" For though his bod y's under hatches ,
His soul ha.-, gone aloft. " Dibdin.
Why from yon halliards hangs the flag
So^j w and mournfu l there ,
Once fling ing from tho mizzen-peak
Its radiance on the air '<
Wh y with a mournful motion
Swings the cutter to the tide ,
That once exulting met the wave ,
As the bridegroom meets his bride 1
?
Something is wanting there !
We miss the manly form
Tha t once upon that deck defied
The menace of the storm.
The eye that throug h the darkness
Scanned the pathway of the prow
W hen the staunch keel furrowed the midni ght sea,
Is closed and rayicss now.
With wail of mournful music,
With heat of muffled drum ,
Wi th shrouded flag and heavy step
They bore him to hi s home—
Hi s home—the last sad resting-place
Of sterling faith and worth—
The cold and ray less sepulchre
Where lies his kindred earth.
But look aloft ! his spirit
Has mounted to the sky—
There is a better home aloft ,
An anchorage on hi gh.
There in a peaceful haven
The faithful lie at rest ;
W here no wild tempests nvenace wreck ,
Nor dark soa lifts its crest.
Peace to the gallont dead !
IScst to the noble keart!
Well on his native billow
Did he enact his part.
Cold is the hand his shipmates
In gladness shook so oft ,
The hand that pledged a tearless faith—
But then—his soul's aloft !
It is i\)e Jut)' of mothers to sustain the reverses of
fortune. Frequent and sudden as they huve been
in crir country, it is important that young females
should possess some emp loyment , by which they
might obtajn a livelihood ;n ease they are reduced
to fhe necessity of supporting themselves. When
families are unexpectedl y induced from affluence to
poverty how pitifull y contemptible it is to see the
moth er despondin g or hopeless , anil permittin g her
ilaug hlers to embarrass those whom it is their (lut\
to assist and cheer ! ' *
"f have lost my wholo fortun e," ;said i\ mercaant
:ts he returned one evening to his home ; "we ca n
no longer kuvp our carriage. Wtvmust leaye this
house. The children can no longer-go tq expensive
schools. Yesterday I was a rich uiaji ; to day there
is nothing I can cull my own i"
"Dear husband ,'' said the wife, "we :ir,e still rich
in each other and our children. Money niay pass
away, but God has given us a better treasure in
those aetjve hands and loving hearts."
"Dear father," said (he children , "do not look so
sober. \Ve will biel p you to get a living. "
"What can you do, pqor things V" said he.
"You shall see !'' answered several voices. !'It is
a pity if wo can have been to school for nothipg.-—
How can flio father pf eight children be poor ? We
shall wqrk and tnake you rich again. "
"I shall help," said the younger girl hardl y four
years old. "I will not have any new things boug ht ,
and I shall sell my great doll.
I he heart of the husband and father, which had
sunk lyifherin g into his bosom like a stone , was lift-
ed up. The sweet enthusiasm qf tl je scene cheered
him ,and his ni ghtl y prayer was like a song of praise.
Th ey left their statel y house. The servants were
dismissed. Pictures and plat e, rich carpets and fur-
niture were sold , and she who had been the mistress
of the mansion , shod no tears.
"Pay oye ry debt ," said she ; lot nq pne suffer
th roug h us, and we may be happy. "
IIe< rented a neat cottage , and a small piece of
ground , a few miles from the city. With the aid of
Iii s sons, he cultivated vegetables fpr the market.
He viewed wi th ejelight and astonishment the econ-
omy of his wife,nurtured as she had been in wealth ,
and the efficiency which his daug hters soon acquired
under her trainin g.
The eldest one instructed the household , and also
assisted the younger children—besides they execut-
ed various works which they had learned as apeom-
plishment , but which they found could be disposed
of to advantage. They embroidered with taste some
ofthu ocnament.il parts of female apparel , which
wore readil y sold to a merchant in the city. They
cultivated flowers , sent boquets to market in tin;
carf that conveyed the vegetables ; they plaited
straw ; they painted maps ; they executed plain
needle work. Every one was at her post, busy and
cheerfu l. The little cottage was like a bee hive.
"I nev er enjoyed such health before ,'
1 said the fa-
ther.
"And I never wa,s
, so, happy before ," said the
nipther.
'!\V« never knew how many things we could do,
when we lived in the great house ,"said the children,
"and we love each other a great deal better hpre.-r-r
You call us your little , bees."
"Yes," rep lied the father , "and you make just
such honey as the heart likes to feed on. ''
Economy as, well as industry, was strictl y observed:
'IQihin g w'is wasted, Nothing unnecessary was pur-
chased. The eldest daug hter became assistant teach-
er in a distinguished female seminary, and the sec-
pnd took her place as instructress in the famil y.
The dwelling, which had always been kept neat ,
they were soon able to beautif y, Its construction
was improved ,and the, flowerin g trees were rep lant-
ed around it. The merchant was happ ier under his
woodbine cqvcrp d porch in a summer 's even.iug,than
lie had been in his showy dressing-room.
,'We aie now thrivin g and prosperous ," said he ,
i'shall we. return to the city ?"'
"O.h, no !" was the unanimousl y reply.
"Let us remain ," said the wife , "where we have
found health and contentment. "

To Owners, Masters and Builders of Slips.
WE
beg to call your attention to a new article for
Shi p's fastening, which we believe to be greatl y
superior to any material now used for that purpose—
YELLOW METAL BOLTS.
Although new in this market, they have been in ac-
tive use in all the English Ship Yards and Docks for a
long period of time.
The manufacturers, whose agents we are, were in-
duced to make a small quantity last Spring, by the de-
sire of several shi p-builders here to obtain a sample of
them for their own use. The builders who have tried
them , are so entirel y satisfied with their character and
worth , that the manufacturers have resolved upon mak-
ing them in large quantities and offering them for sale.
Being fi rmer than the Copper Bolts, they bear much
harder driving ; and their composition prevents the
formation of the verdi gris so much comp lained of as
natnral to Copper. Their resistance to corrosion caus-
es them to wear more uniforml y and longer than Cop-
per Bolts, and they m ust have the preference over them.
Thei r present price is about twenty per cent, less
than Copper.
We are now prepared to receive orders for all sizes
and kinds used in shi p building, and can furnish an ar-
ti cle as perfect as can be made.
We shall be pleased to show you these Bolts , and re-
spectfull y ask you to examine them at our Store, No.

They are also exceedingly efficacious in restoring
constitutions broken down by sedentary employment!,
and have been extensively used hy Clergymen,Editors,
Printers, Clerks, Seamstresses, and numerous others,
whose health has been injured by confinementand close
application , with the happiest results. They restore tie
action of the stomach, increase the quan tity of tie
blood , and impart to the wan and emaciated system of
the invalid the vigor and glow of true health.
Piles ! Files!
Brown 's Sarsaparilla will be found a certain remedy
for that dreadful and most troublesome disease. Cases
have been cured after all other remedies have been tri-
ed without having the least effect.
Coughs ! Cosigsis ¦
We can recommend this article as being one of tie
most efficacious medicines for Coughs, Pain in the Side,
Weakness, &c., now in use. It has been used with great I
effect in removing Coughs of long standing.
Mr. Edward Mason,
Druggist, in Portlan d, Me., says Brown's Sarsaparilla .
and Tomato Bitters is now doing wonders in that place.
Nearl y all the Ph ysicians are recommending it.
T. R. Hayes,
one of the firm of T. R. Hayes & Co., Portland says le
never sold a Medicine that gave such general satisfac-
tion for all billions complaints ; there is nothing in Iiis
opinion that equals them.
Mr. A. G. Pag'e, :
Bath , Mo., says he never sold any Medicine that gave
such general satisfaction ; he has known many to be
cured hy it of bad humors , &c, after they had been giv-
en up as incurable by all their friends.
Capt. Joseph Holly,
of whale ship Erie, which sails from JFairhaven , recom-
mends Brown 's Sarsaparilla and Tomato Bitters to all
seafaring men. He says he should rather be withont
his medicine chest than not have a supply of these Bit-
ters. Scu rry is completely cured by its use.
[From the Boston Morning Post.]
The editor says "it always affords him pleasure to

Bitters."
