They sleep in autumn's golden haze !
The gay leaves, twinkling in the breeze,
-Still to tho forest branches L-lmg ;

The brightest blossoms of t Ire spting.
Flowers linger in each sheltered nook;

Through all the quiet groves are heard t
And bell of kiiy: that sauntering browse,
And squirrel, chirping as he hides
Where gorgeously, witn crimson boughs,
The creeper clothes the oak’s gray siJes.
How mild the light in all the skies !
How balmily this south wind blows!
The smile of God around us lies,
His rest is in this deep repose.
These whispers of the flowing air,
These waters that in music fall, .
These sounds of peaceful life, declare
The love that keeps and hushes alt.
Then let us to the forest shade.
And roam its path the livelong day ;
These glorious hours were never made
In life’s dull cares to waste away.
We’ll wander by the running stream,
And pull the wild grape tianging o’er,
And list file fisher’s startling set earn,
‘i hat perches by the pebbly shore.
And when the sun to his repose
Sinks in the rosy west, at even,
And over the field and forest throws
A hue fliat makes them seem like heaven, —
We’ll overlook she glorious land,
From the green brink of yonder height,
And silently adore the hand
£ That made our land so fair and bright.
MISCELLAN Y.
RUNNING THE BLOCKADE.
BY NED BUNTLINE.
Quting.tbc latter nart of 1838, by reason
of trouble existing hetTveen the two govern
ments. a large squadron of French ships of
war was stationed aiong the Mexican coast,
for the purpose enforcing the blockade de
clared by France. In consequence of this
measure, provisions, and such artic'es as had
hitherto been imported in the Mexican sea
ports. became very scarce, and the high prices
which were demanded, offered strong induce
ments to our enterprising, money-loving
countrymen, to outwit the keen-eyed French
men, and, in defiance of their blockade, to
supply the interdicted ports.
One of thebe adventurous exploits came
immediately under my own observing ; and
anticipating the reader’s permission, Iwill
reel ofl the yarn for his edification. It oc
curred while I was cruising in the sloop of
war Boston, tinder the gallant old Captain
Babbit, who was one of the officers of the
old Philadelphia when she was captured by
the Algerines. Apropos of my revered
commander; there comes up always, when
I recall him, his standing toast, the only one
he ever gave after his release from imprison
ment The downfall of the barbarous
Moors.” On all occasions, whenever he
was called upon for a sentiment, this was
given. We were once dining with the cele- j
brated Espeleta, governor general ot Cuba,
who did not understand a word of English.
As the wine passed around, Captain Babbit
was called upon for a sentiment. He gave
as usual, “ The downfall of the barbar
ous Moors which creating unusual merri
ment among all who understood him, caused
the governor to require its translation. To
judge from the governor’s appearance, it
must have touched Him nearly, for h s com
plexion clearly betrayed his Arabic descent.
Bui I am yawing ofi’my course.
Alter a cruise of four or five months in the
Gulf, we hauled up for Tampico, to look
once more on terra firma, and to fill our
water tanks. On coming to anchor in the
roadstead, wP found the French corvette
Creole, commanded by the Prince de Join
ville, and a brig of the same nation, moored
in front of thq fiver. The bar of Tampico is
too shallow to’admit voxels of heavy draft,
which are obliged to anchor in the open roads
outside, and on the appioaeh of a gale, are
torped to get under weigh and give the
plldre a wide berth. The blockading craft
were anchored barely out of tho reach of the
guns mounted on the castle of San Marco, in
asitpation to intercept any vessel attempting
to enter the harbor. Alter we came to and
furled our sails, the usual salutes were ex
changed, visits of etiquette paid, and the
launch hoisted out, preparatory to watering
the ship.
Having nothing with which to occupy my
self, and not intending to visit the town !)• -
fore the next day, I took my sketch hook and
pencil, and ascended to the maintop, design
ing to sketch the entrance of the river. 1
stowed myself away on a spare studding-sail,
and commenced drawing the outline ofthe
beautiful landscape ; but I was interrupted
by old Marline, the captain of the top, with —
‘•Thom Johnny Crapeaus have got an eye
out to windward, lieutenant. That there
‘Greyowd,’ as they call her, is talking bunt
ing (i. e. signaling) to the brig ; there go
her hands aloft to loose her canvass, sir.”
I cast my eye towards the brig, and at once
perceived that she was heaving up her an
chor. A second look to seaward explained
tho cause of this manceuvre. On the ex
treme verge of the windward horizon a small
white speck appeared, seeming hut a floating
cloudlet resting between the light blue ot the
clear sky and the deep azure of the ocean,
[VOL. V.—NO 1.
The brig was soon under way ; and piling
her canvass on her tall spars,she hauled on a
taut bowline in the direction es the strange
sail. Sending Marline below for my spy
glass, 1 was now enabled from its aid to
make thestrangci out. Sho. appeared to be
of brigantine size ; and by tire way she rose
in the horizon, 1 judged Iter a fast sail
ing clipper. There was aMight sky-sail
breeze ruffling gently over the waters from
seaward, but not blowing hard enough to
make the anchored vessels tend head to
wind against ebb-tide; therefore we lay
bows in toward the ltarbo r .
The brigantine rapidly neared the French
brig ; and while my eye was fixed on her
rakish rig, and the beautiful cut of Iter sqttate
sails, her erdors rose to the gaff. lat once
distinguished the flag of the “lone star repub
lic.” The Frenchman had come within had
of the stranger ; and appare illy satisfied
with his appearance, had squared away ;
and under a cloud of snow white canvass,
the two vessels came in side by side. How
beautiful is a ship, decked in her snowy
robes and flaunting strea ners, bending grace
fully over the gently undulating bosom of the
ocean, as site parts tho blue waves, ami
throws the foam in silvery sheets in her
wakt ! The outline of her tapering spars, Iter
dtmJfc . rigging and broad sails
thrown out !iTTolfTrdlief Bgainst the sky, the
variety of colors, each softened down into
the other, are, in my mind, “ beautiful ex
ceedingly.”
Tho two vessels neared the anchorage.—
Suddenly the French brig clewed up Iter
fore and mainsails, the Texian banner flut
tered from Iter foremast head, and her guns
opened a salute to the brigantine. As the
’ brigantine swept, smoothly oil, an involuntary
buzz of admiration rose from our crew, as
they gazed on her sylph like beauty. Site
was evidently Baltimore built, her spars very
taut and rakish, her hull long and low in tho
water, with bows that seemed to pass through
the waves without a ripple. Apparently she
had but a small crew,some ten or fifteen sea
men only being actively engaged in working
her, and a few red-coated marines leaning
with professional stiffness against the mas s
and bulwarks. Three or four officers also
appeared at their usual stations ; and as we
knew the difficulties of shipping men in that
non-payment service, we were not surprised
to see her so poorly manned, Along brass
thirty-two pounder, working on a pivot amid
ships, and masked port holes along her sines
were symptoms of a sharp set of teeth
which gave her the cut of a dangerous custo
mer.
As soon as the Frenchman fired the last
gun of his salute, he clewed up every tiling
and came to in the birth he had left. The
brigantine kept on close under our lee, with
out shortening sail; and passed, answering
our had, as the “Texian brig of war Brazos
Commander Charles E. llawkins.” She
had also hoisted the French flag forward, and
we were expecting to see her come to and
answer tile salute of the Frenchman, when
suddenly altering her course, she luffed across
the bows of the Creole, and headed in for the
fort, intending apparently to cross the bar.
While vile were wondering at her temerity
in thus ventmipg tinder the guns of an ene
nay’s fort, the Texian flag was hauled down
the star spapgled banner floated in its place,
arufat the foremast head the Mexican flag
w r as hoisted above tbe French.
This was more than the Frenchmen could
bear. To be thus tricked out of a salute,
tt.oir blockade bioken under their very noses
and’t[ieir half worshipped tri-color’hoisted
beneath the Mexican tiigj-ivaa “too guflingly
insulting for their fiery natures. Tbe brig
antine had hauled up so as to brinsr Iheir
masts in range, and as they swung to the tide,
not a gun, could be brought to bear from their
decks upon her, while she stretched boldly
across the bar. The confusion of Babel
must have been great if it exceeded that
which uprose from the angry Frenchmen.—
First one and then then the other slipped their
their cable and made sail, so as to bring their
broadsides to bear on the daring stranger;
hut they were too late, and in their burry
got foul of each other, only throwing a few
harmless shots over and around the brigan
tine, which soon rounded the high blufis of
Punta Tanupeco, leaving them to get clear
of each other and seek their old anchorage
again.
The excilement ol the scene had thrown
all idea of sketching out of my head; and
having an old acquaintance on board the Cre
ole, I determined to pay him a visit, having
a middy-like desire to witness the working
of the bitter pill they had swallowed. After
getting on board and exchanging the usual
salutation and inquiries, we adjourned to the
tness-rootn, where a bottle of claret was in
troduced, as well os the subjectof “running
the blockade !” To do justice to my French
friend, 1 must give the conversation to my
raaders as it occurred, verbatim ot litera
tim.
“My ver goot fren, you see dat dam ras
cality Yankee doodale lelloiv lass de grande
prince, de grande nation, de whole blockade,
all in tie ver face V’
“ Yes, Serriac, i 6aw it all; but why did
you let him pass 1”
“ Lei hint pass, by gar ! —let him pass, you
say, eh 1 Vy sacry-mil-tonnera! he say he
one—(outre ! —vat you call him I — dat leetle
republique vat fight all Alexique 1”
“Texas.”
“Ah, yes, Texas —Texas man-o’-tvar he
say himself Oui, by gar.de grand prince he
mad ver inoosh ! Mil touhere ! how lie swear
Angiice, ven he see de coortain of glory, la
belie tri-color hang up all same like one tleesli
clout under de dyiy flag de Mexique ! lie
say lie watch (br dat same Yankee doodale
cameille bugare all eternitee till lie catch
him. He no nevere come to does port ’gain
vi dont vc catch him.”
This I found to be the actual determina
tion of the blockade squadron ; not to move
from the poit till they succeeded in capturing
the American.
1 returned on hoard, and the next morning
started lor tho city, feeling a sirong desire to
see aud make the acquaintance of one so
much after my own heart as the man who
had planned and executed this hold mameuvre.
Tampico is situated on a river ot the same
name, about seven miles from its mouth.—
With its narrow unpavud streets sirong pri
son-like houses closely planted together, it
stands as a fair specimen of ihe old style of
Spanish cities. It lies on a green plain which
gently slopes up from tho river side, and eve
ry knoll m the vicinity is fortified and garri
soned.. We entered the river at the moment
ihat the sun arose dispelling ihe fog-mantle
that enveloped the banks of ihe clear stream.
The row was delightfully pleasant, and we
pursued our way up the winding stream, tne
fresh morning air hearing us the grateful
perfume ot fruit and tluwersfuii-its cooling
wings. After rowing about an hour, we
turned around a point, and before us lay the
town. Anchored in the stream lay our friend
the Baltimorean, surrounded by boats filled
with bartering nativee. As we pulled alone
eido of her, I beheld beneath the shady rim
of ao enormous a face weather
bronzed,yet ruddy with a good humored ex
pression that seemed familiar with me. As
i drew near a snnle of recognition settled
upon it, that at once illumined the dimz’
ness ol memory. It was my schoolmate and
jriend Wiff Allen.
“Thunder tritons ! Will is that you?” tvas
my exclamation, as I sprang over the low
bulwarks, and landed in the friendly embrace
of h ; s brawny arms. - ,
“Well, Allen, you are the last fellow I ex
pected to meet in these cruising grounds,”
said I, as soon a* I could regain uty breath and
power of utterance, which he had squeezed
out of me.
“1 suppose you are astonished to see me
on salt water, Ned. but 1 knew you were
aboard the old Boston, and ot course expect
ed to cross your hawse somewhere in these
latitudes. I owe you an_apology for qot pay
ing my respects to you last night, but I had
no time to stop. By the way, speaking of
that, what did the Frenchman say at my not
answering theii salute J”
“Why they are going to catch Bnd keel
haul you it you try to come out ; so you I tad
hetier stay iu port tiUphcy break up and clear
out?”*’
“Well, now, dont I wish they may do it all
but the catching part. Why, confound the
soup.driuking lubbers, I haven’t shown them
hall what my little “Nella” can ;do yet. I’ll
bet mv eyes to a bucket of tar that I can go
out as I came in, with my colours flying, look
ing them right in the teeth.”
“You tiad hotter be careful, \Yill, they
are on the look out lor you; but where is your
long turn that you had mounted on the pivot
yesterday, ’ said I, looking in vain for the
‘ Ihero it lies on the forecastle, alongside
the heelot the bowsprit ; its only a pine log
shaped like a gun and painted yellow. 1
thought American naval officers had better
eyes than to take’a log of wood for a bona fide
barker.”
“You make a good imitation, Will; but
where are your marines ?”
“Oh! thesojers? I threw them overboard
on the bar, tor the benefit of the French,
men.”
“Threw them overboard ! Why what do
you mean ?;’
“Why I mean just what I say—that I threw
a dozen bundles ot straw, dressed up in rod,
yellow and wh te fit nnel,overboard on the bar
yesterday, tor the special benefit of the John
ny’s.”
. “1 understand you now, Will ; your .goes,
SO 'F f ’ n ' ld a 'l were quakerx.”
“Precisely so, Nod. The Nella was stow
ed tou lull of dry goods, flour, and the Kite,to
have any room for arms; and I trust more to
her spend than my own valor. I have got
my cargo in safe, ami have sold it for a juven
ile fortune—enough to enable me to get
spliced to my old sweetheart, pretty Kate
S , and settle down In ‘the iron city’ for
life. And, as I have finished here, lam go
ing nut as soon as St. Antonio will send me
a breeze—so look out tor the homeward bound
tbe first norther that blows; as soon as it
comes I’ll run by the Frenchmen in spite of
their threats.”
Alter spending a happy dayvaafl evening
with my friend, in overhauling joint recollec
tions of old times, I returned on board the
ship.
During several ensuing days we were oc
cupied in procuring wood and water, prepar
atory to continuing our cruise, and were
nearly ready for sea, when the visits of the
the skipper.to his barometer became frequent,
and the most knowing of our forecastle ora
cles shrugged their shoulders coldly as they
turned their eyes towards the mountain-tops
in the interior. The clerk of tho weather
was evidently brewing mischief. One of tho
most certian omens of an approaching gale
on that coast is a singularly clear atmosphere.
Distant hills, seen at no other time, show
their blue peaks plainly, thus forwarningthe
mariner to be ready to cut and run. We, as
well as our French neighbors, commenced
preparing for it by sending down our light
spars, housing top gallant masts, close reef
ing top-sails and course’s and rSfurling them
snugly to the yards, intending if possible to
“lay it out” at anchor.
---• rvigJif came’ on, and n the sun gradually
descended behind a gathering hank of black
clouds in the west, the wind increased, be
ginning to pipe the sailors warning in the
loudest key. The ground swell rose very
high, causing us to labor heavily, and to pitch
bows under into it. The distant thunder be
gan to echo the hoarse moaning gale, and
lightning played ,fitfully through the flying
clouds. “This is the very nig-lit for such a
dare devil as Will Allen,’’said f. as I hur
ried on deck envoloped in the folds of my
storm-jacket with my sou-wester lashed on
my head. The thought had barely passed
through my mind, when the look-out on the
night-heads sung out “Sail ho!”
“Where away is she?” said I straining my
eye-sight in the gloom.
“Right ahead, sir. I believe it’s that clip
per that tricked the Johnny’s the other day
trying to come out over the bar.”
‘‘Great God, she’ll be lost!” said I, as I
caught a glimpse of Her, struggling through
the heavy range of breakers that ran moun
tain high entirely the bar, one moment
hidden in their boiling, the next
seeming to leap snowy crests.
Oh! it was beautiful; grandly, sublimely,
‘critically beautiful! As the lightning flash
illuminated the scene, the eye in one hurried
glance would cover the high, rolling breakers
tinged with the pnmasiic hues ot the rain
bow, that seemed to leap madly tip from the
quicksand bar, the gallant ar.d beatiful veseel
rushing swiftly through the ’flashing waters,
her spars bowing to the full strength of the
storm-king’s breath, her sails white as the
cloud-spot whence the lightning burst forth ;
her crew hurriedly flying troin one post in
another, as their varied duties required, to
the dread timo of danger.
Again the lightning- cloud closes, and the
imagination is left to picture the scene from
ihe wild uproar of warring elements. Once
more the jagged • ra.vs -of lurid light flashed
fortli ; the vessel has passed the bar in safe
ty ; here she comes right down in our midst!
The gale had increased to a height that ren
dered our anchorage unsafe, uml altogether
French and American, wore obliged to slip and
scud.
The ire ofthe Frenchmen was aroused.—
It was galling *u> their pride to see a little
Yankee clipper pass into a blockade port in
fair weather, under their very portholes, but
doubly galling to see the audacious craft a
gam laugh at them, and defy their power in
the teeth of a hurricane. As the Nella came
on, the French ships heat, to quarters deter
mined, as one ofetiieir officers afterwards told
tne to6uik her.,.
We were now all in a huddle, driving out
to sea before the gale. As the treacherous
lightning betrayed the position ofthe gallant
Allen, the French opened a rapid fire upon
him, but they were too nervous to do any
harm ; their shot flew wide, the quick flash
of fight hardly enabling them to take an aim,
which tho succeeding darkness would set
entirely at fault. On, on we sped heßretho
whistling blast amid the roar ofthe hurricane
the loud booming cannon, the lightning’s
glam, and the red flashing of thq guns ; laut
the Nella had the heels of us. Soon the fnr
reaching storm-light tailed to diqeover lies
situation ; she had rqb the blacksde, tq.aml
out in perfect safely.
