(We publish by request the following appropriate lines on a heart-rending event which is still fresh i in the minds of our readers.] LINES ON THE WRECK OF THE CENTRAL AMERICA The night hung o’er the wild Atlantic sea, A home bound bark, from distant lands sped on; And tones of hope, from noble hearts and tree, < Went ringing o’er the changing deep auvn. ( There’s peril now, ha '. Im ! the mocking gale Bears back the echo, in its death like knell ; The gallant Herndon speaks, reef - reet—the sad, The ship is borne against die frightful swell. And loud towards the s\y the dashing foam. Proclaims, the storm fiends rule the night supreme ; Think, husband—wife, no more of absent home, By granite hills, or souibe.n vales of green. The shrieking winds—the mad tempestuous tide ; < They have no heart for tears, or time for woe— They bear their victims with triumphant pride, Dvwui dv w n. beneath the worid of waves below. The daring Captain, from the quarter deck, < Unyielding braves it to the very last ; And calls—commands —abo»c the sinking wreck, Until his voice is drowned upon the blast. The storm still raves above the fearful deep, The deathly gloom still shrouds the skies around, The bark is gone-—they’ll wake no more from sleep, The victims, in the future saddening round. Where n«w are all those years of struggling caie, From California's hills the golden gain ; Fame, life, gold, daring, hone -O, tc.i me where ? Go ask the storm, above the Atlantic’s main. ’Twas ever thus—and ever thus must be, Thro’ time that hearts must grieve and tea. must fall, Fate speaks aud wills it in her strange deci re, On sea, on land, alas ! to one and all.
