I’ve beard say that one or two of ’em threaten tened <o visit you on your dying day. Is that true ?” “ No more of that, mess-mate,” replied Tom, scowling on the speaker with an ex pression of countenance as savage as that of Polypheme when ke woke and found his only eye put out, “ no more of that, it’s what I don’t approve of.” The Captain he re burst into an uproari ous laugh. “ And so Tom is actually afraid of a visit from a eliost or two 1 For shame, Tom ; what would old Olonoissay to this?” On die morning, however, a cry of land was raised from the mast-head, followed al most immediately by a shout from the same quarter that a Spanish gaßeon was heaving in sight. In an instant all was bustle and uproar, and the wild cheers of exultation raised fey die crew soon brought up the Captain on deck, who immediately began giving orders to his men to see to the gun and tlie state of the rigging, and, in short, to make every preparation for a desperate conflict. These orders were promptly com plied with, and, all sails being set, the ves sel soon came near enough to the Don to perceive that he also was on the alert, and, confiding in his superior .weight of metal, evinced not the slightest indisposition to come to close quarters. “ Bravo,” exclaimed the pirate chief, eyeing the Spanish ship with a seaman’s steady g' ,ze ’ “ s * ,e car, ies a Bold front; well, so much tbc better, it proves she is a prize worth tussling fei’j” then turning to his Lieutenant, “ barti?t’> comrade, pipe all hands to prayers, and be d—d 10 yon.” Scarcely was the order issued thail whole ship’s company made their appear ance on deck, while their commander, put ting on an air of uncommon sanctity, seat ed himself on a gun and began reading one or two chapters of the Bible. ****** This farce continued for full half an hour, when Captain Davis, returning the Bible to his Lieutenant, with a special command that it should be deposited in the securest parts of the cabin, started to his legs, and j exclaimed with a blasphemous oath, at the ; same time pointing to the galeon which Was now fast bearing down upon them, “yon der lads is the enemy; twenty piastres to him who first boards her; ten to him Who ! kills the first man ; and, d’ye hear, no quar ! ler—down with them all; dead men tell no tales you know.” While lie thus spoke, bis eye chanced to fall on Trevanion, (a yonnij man who had been captured, but spared through the cle mency of the captain) who stood some pa ices off, gazing at the approaching Kessel with looks of mingled hope and curiosity. ' '“Kill the spy—heW down the traitor.” An angry murmur here rose among the crew, who crowded close tip to Trevanioii, As if they Would have hacked him to pieces. The Lieutenant was the foremrtst, and was Actually preparing to level his pistol At the youth’s head, when the Captain, after wrest ing it from his band, shouted in a voice of thunder, “down With your barkers, the first who stirs, dies. D—it, have yoii no sense of religion, lliat yon thus set your Captain’s authority at naught? Away; each man to his post; See, the Don is preparing his broadside ! As for this yourister, since he is resolved for a few lionrs to remain neu tral, I will put it bill of bis power to be treacherous, so down with you below decks ; and Woe to you if you play the satne boy’s game to-morrow.” Left to the solitude of his cabin, whither old Tom had hurried him, muttering, as he thrust him down the companion ladder, many a tough curSe On the Captain’s folly in having anything to do with shch a <kfair weather spark.” John’s thoughts were of the most distracting nature pdssiblet Now be determined to rush tip -on deck and meet art honorable death, fighting side by side weth tlic Spaniards-, and now, as he recalled tile immage of Mary,, he desisted from bis desperate purpose. No, he Said, while there is ?ife there is h«pe, and possi bly a few’ hours may pibciH’e me release from my prison. Courage then, all may yet be well-. His reverie was here broken in upon by the tremendous uproar that now raged up on deck. To every broadside poured in by the Don, the pirates responded by a fierce yell of derision, and a ebnnohade that set die vessel quivering from stem to sterm. Oh, how often did John pray for the success of the Spaniards, though his heart sank within him* while ever And anon lie heard the pirate chief cheering on his men in such terms, as “ give her grape enough laris* hurrah for the blatk ffag— now’s your time, Jack lay us alongside her, and twenty piasters to him who first tnotmls ■her dec’k* And how roared the lir.rrk'rthe of battle. Hark ta the crash of the falling mast—the demoniac cries of the bucaniers—the blas phemous oath, the wild hurrah—the tramp ling of feet on the crimsoned deck, and the instant rush of life in one shrill, agonizing scream from some wretch shot right through the heart ! And while this wholesale car nage is going forward all is peace and gen tleness in -surrounding Nature ! Heaven’s countenance is radient with smiles—the wind, but of late so fresh, is lulled—the sea sleeps with scarce a wrinkle on its sur face. Ob, muo, man! if this world be “ a wale wf Hears” it is ithon chiefly that dost ma'ke it so ? Three times were the pirates repulsed, and as often did they make good their foot ing on the enemy’s deck, John mean while kept listening to the uproar above bis head with feblings <->findescribable agi tation, which soon increased to such a de gree that he could ‘bear it no longer, and, unarmed as he was, wits iu the act ol .rush ing up to take part with the Spaniard, when two men came down bearing old Tom, mortally wounded, in their arms, whom, with the utmost sttng froid they’'left to bleed to death on the cabin floor. Trevanlon’s feelings were now directed into a new channel. He approached the wretch, and strove to staunch the blood that was flowing from a gaping wound in his head.. But the veteran waved him oil’. “ Avast, brother, avast,” he feebly gasped out, “it’s no use whatsomever—all’s up with me, <ho’lT it might have been other wise had the Cap’ll given orders to board | in time. In the good old days of” “ Let me raise yow said John, sof tened by the sight of the pirate’s agonies, “ and you will breathe more freely,” at the same time applying his handkerchief .to the wound. “Who speaks?” exclaimed t'he dying man, deliriously. “ Are you going to shove me over board ? Avast heaving— I an’t dead yet! Ab, they come! they warned me they would come, when I flung ’em to the sharks at Vera Cruz Save me, brother'!—see, they swarm In crowds a bout me!—now they are standing right ahead ! —now —pipe all hands to prayers— that’ll keep ’em off ! ! —Hah, hah !” and raising himself with difficulty, the fear strick en wretch just managed to scrable on his knees, and clasp his hands in prayer, when he fell bac'k, and lay sU’.etched a corpse at Trevanion’s feet. As the young man stood fixed in contem plation of the ghastly object before twin, bis ears were sainted by a tr.em-eijidous shout of “Hurrah., the Don has struck his flag!” The sound thrilled to John’s heart like 11m; trump of doom. ■“ Gone, all gone,” he said, and for the moment meditated suicide —but soon bis belter genius came to his aid. he heard the voice of Captain Davis, in t 0 *l ,e lieutenant’s question of “ What shall we th.’ with the prisoners ?” make answer. “Overboard P’ilh them a,., then look to the piastres, bring them on board, and scuttle the ship.” For some lime after this brief dialogue all was comparative siilence on board the pirate ship. At the expiration of an hour. lioKv ever, the quick tramp of feet again sounded on the deck, for the ruffians were returning from the -captured vessel, laden with plun der. In a few minutes steps descended the companion, and TrevaniOn could distinctly hear—for he had now retreated to his own berth—one or two niert arranging the ta bles, and m iking preparations for a night of unusually drunken revelry, while others were piling up bags of moidores, piastres, aAd other treasure, in a spare corner of the cabin. No sooner were these completed, and the corpse of old Tdni heaved overboard, than the Captain hliFried below, and accompa nied by the skeleton of his crew—for the late conflict had seriously thinned their numlfers —took Ills seat At the head of the table. “No business to-night, lads,said hej “ it will be time enough to divide the booty to-mofrow,” and he tossed off a latge horn-full of raw brandy to the Success of of the black flag-. From this lime all was ciamottr and con fusion. [After the drunker! revelry-, And while the pirates were asleep, Trevanion cast loose a boat and went ashore-. The town that sheltered hini soon afterwards became n frightful scene of blood.] — Blackwood, for July. [From the Pickwick Papers.] THE COBBLER. He was a sallow man-—all cobblers are ; and had a strong bristly beard ; all cob blers have; his face was a qneef, good na tured, crooked featured piece of workman ship-, ornamented with A couple of eyes that must have worn a very joyous expression at one time, for they sparkled yet. The man was sixty by years, and Heaven knows how old by impri-sOtiment, so that his hav ing any look approaching to mirth or con tentment, was Singular enough. He was a little man-, and being half doubled up as he lay in bed, looked about as long as he ought to have heen without his legs. He had a great red pipe in his mouth, and has smok ing and staring'at the rushlight hi a state of enviable placidity. “ Have you beeh here kmg?” inquired Sam, breaking thesifente Which bad lasted for some time. “ Twelve years,” said the cobbler; -biting the end of his pij>e as he Spoke; y Contempt inquired Sara; The cobbler nodded. “ Veil, then,” said sam, with -Sonic sternness, “wot do yoii ptwfeevcfe in bein’ obstinit-for, va-stixig yotiVprecious life avay in this here magtrified pound?
