Wc were so poor when baby died. And mother stitched his shroud, The others in their hunger cried, With sorrow wild and loud We were 60 poor we could not pay The man to carry him away. I see it still before my eyes It lies upon the bed, And mother whispers thro' her sighs The little boy is dead." A little box of common pine His coffin was and may be mine! They laid our little brother out, And wrapped his form in white, And as they turned his head about, We saw the solemn sight And wept as little children weep, And kissed the dead one in his sleep I We looked our last upon his face, And said our last Good bye," While mother laid him In the place Where those are laid who die: The 6exton shoved the box away Because we were too poor to pay We were too poor to hire a hearse, And could n't get a pall And when Ave drove him to the grave, A wagon held us all 'Twas I who drove the horse, and I Who told my mother not to cry. Wc rode along the crowded town, And felt so lone and drear, Andoft our tears came trickling down, Because ho friends were near. The folks were strangers, selfish men Who hadn't lost a baby then.

We Teachcd the grave and laid him there, With all the dead around There was no priest to say a prayer And bless the holy ground. So home we went with grief and pain; But home was never home again. And there he sleeps, without a stone To mark the sacred spot, But though to all the world unknown, By us 'tis ne'er forgot We mean to raise a stone some day, But now we arc too poor to pay WHALE KILLING. FROM" DlCX" Mr. Herman Melville, in his new" aea-story, describes a marvelous chase by a whaling monomaniac after the Moby Dick," tho fabulous leviathan of tho sailors, during which ho probably let us into the realities of actual whaling as minutely and faithfully as any sea-author has ever done.

We shall give a couple of passages, hoping they will put the reader on the look-out for the book itself.l If to Starbuck the apparition of tho Squid was a tfiing of portents, to Queequeg it was quite a different object. When you see him, quid," said the savage, iiuiiiuy iii uiiipuuii iii me uovr oi nis noisieu boat, then you quick see him, parm whale." The next day was exceedingly still and sultrv. and with nothing special to encase them, tlm Pequod's erew could hardly resist the spell of sieep inaucea oy sucri a vacant sea. or this part of the Indian Ocean through which we were then voyaging is not what whalemen call a live ly ground that is, it affords fewer glimpses of porpoises, dolphins, flying iish, and other viva cious ueuuuiis oi more surnng waters, man thoso off the Rio de la Plate, or the inshore ground off Peru. It was my turn to stand at tho foremast head and with my shoulders leaning against the slack ii i i cueu ruyai snrouus, io ana iro, uuy swayed in what seemed an enchanted air.

No resolution could withstand it; in that dreamy mood losing an consciousness, at last my soul went out of my body though my body continued to sway as a pendlum will, long after the power that movea ii is wunurawn. Ere forgelfulness altogether came over me. I had noticed that the seamen on the main and mizen mast heads were already drowsy. So that at last all three of us lifelessly swung from the spars, and for every swing that we made there was a nod from below from the slumber ing helmsman. Tho waves, too, nodded their indolent crests; and across the wide trance of the sea, cast nodded to west, and tho sun over all.

Suddenly bubbles seemed bursting beneath my closed eyes; like vises my hands grasped the shrouds some invisible, gracious agency preserved me with a shock I came back to life. And lo! close under our lee, not forty fathoms a gigantic Sperm Whale lay rolling in tho water liko the capsized hull of a frigate, his broad, glossy back, of an Ethiopian hue, glistened in the sun's rays liko a mirror. But lazily undulating in the trough of the sea, and ever and anon tranquilly spouting his vapory jet, tho whale looked like a party burgher smoking his pipe of a warm afternoon. Hut that pipe, poor whale was thy last. As if moved by some enchanter's Avand, the sleepy ship and ev-ery sleeper in it at once started into wakefulness; and more than a score of voices from all parts of the vessel, simultaneously with the three notes from aloft, shouted forth the accustomed cry, as the great fish slowly and regularly spouted the sparkling brine into tho air.

Clear away tho boats Luff!" cried Ahab. And obeying his own order, he dashed the helm down before the helmsman could handle tho Rpokes. The sudden exclamations of the crew must have alarmed the whale and ere the boats were down, majestically turning, he swam away to the leeward, but with such a steady tranquility, and making so few ripples as ho swam, that thinking after all ho might not as yet be alarmed, Ahab gave orders that not an oar should be used, and no man must speak but in whisa pers. So, seated like Ontario Indians on the gunwales of the boats, we swiftly but silently paddled along; the calm not admitting of the noiseless sails being set. Presently, ns wo thus glided in chase, the monster perpendicular-ly flitted his tail forty feet Into ffie sunk out of sight like a tower swallowed up.

"There goes flukes!" was tho cry, nn an- nounccment immediately followed by Stubb's producing his match and igniting his pipe, for now a respite was granted. After tho full interval of his sounding had elapsed, the whale rose again, and being now in advance of the smoker's boat, and much nearer to it than any of the others, Stubb counted on the honor the capture. It was obvious now that the whale had at length become aware of his pursuers. All silence or cautiousness was, therefore, no longer of use. Paddles were dropped, and oars came loudly into play.

And still putting at his pipe, Stubb cheered on his crew to the assault Yes, a mighty change had como over the fisl All alive to his ieoDardv. ho was going "head out;" that part obliquely projecting from tho mad yeast which ho brewed. Start her, start her my men I don't hurry yourselves; take plenty ot time but start her; start her like thunder-claps, that's all," cried otubb, spluttering out the smoke as he spoke. "Start her, now; give 'em the long and strong stroke, Tashtego. Start her, Tash, my boy start her, all; but keep cool, keep cool cu cumbers is the word easy, easy only start her like grim death and grinning devils, and raise the buried dead perpendicular out of their graves, boys that all, start her Woo-hoo Wa-hee screamed tho Gay Header in reply, raising somo old war-whoop to the skies, as every oarsman in the strained boat involuntarily bounced forward with theonotre- menduous leading stroke which the Indian gave.

But his wild screams were answered by oth ers quite as wild. Kee-hee Keo-heo yell ed Daggoo, straining forward nnd backward in his seat, liko a pacing tiger in his cage. "Ka-la! Ivoo-Ia! howled Queequeg, as if smacking his lips over a mouthful of Grena dier's steak. And thus, with oars and yells the keels cut the sea. Meanwhile, Stubb retaining his place in the van, still encouraged his men to the onset, all the while still pulling the smoke from his mouth.

Like desperadoes they tug ged and they strained, till the wclctme cry was heard Stand up, Tashtego! give it to him!" The harpoon was hurled. "Stern all!" The oarsmen backed water; the same moment some thing went hot and hissing along every one of their wrists. It was the magical line. An in stant before, Stubb had caught two additional turns with it round tho loggerhead, whence, by reason of its increased rapid circlings, a hemp- bluo smoke now jetted tip and mingled with the fumes from his pipe. As the lino passed round nnd round on the loggerhead; so also, just before reaching that point, it blisteringly paaseu mrougii nnu inrougu uuiu ui oiuua hands, from which tho hand-cloths, or squares of quilted canvas sometimes worn at those nfnlty droDneJ.

It was like holding an enemy's sharp ivVo-edged sword by the blade, and the enemy all tho tlmo striving to wrest it out of your clutch. "Wet tho line! wet tho lino!" cried Stubb to the tub oarsman (him seated by the snatching off his hat, dashed the sea-water into it. More turns were taken, so that the lino holding its place. Tho boat now flew through the boiling writer like a shark all fins. Stubb and Tashtego here changed places stem for stern a staggering business truly in that rocking commotion.

From tho vibrating line extending the entire length of tho part of tho boat, and from its now being more tight than a harpstring, you would have thought the craft had two keels one cleaving the water, the other the air as the boat churned on through both opposing elements at once. A continued cascade played at the bows a ceaseless whirling eddy in her wake nnd at the slightest motion from within, even but a little finger, the vibrating, cracking craft canted over her spasmodic gunwale into tho sea. Thus they rushed; each with might and main clinging to his seat, to prevent being tossed to the foam and the tall form of Tashtego at the steering oar, crouching almost double, in order to bring down his centre of gravity. Whole Atlantic and Pacifies seemed passed as they shot on their way till at length the whale somewhat slackened his flight: "Haul in haul in!" cried Stubb to the bowsman and facing around toward tho whale, all hands began pulling tho boat up to him, while yet the boat was being towed on. boon ranging up by his flank, Stubb, firmly planting his kneo on the clumsy cleat, darted dart after dart into tho flying fish at the word of command, the boat alternately sterning out of tho way of tho whale's horrible swallow, and then ranging up for another flintf.

I he red tide now poured from all sides ot tho monster like brooks down a hill. His tor mented body rolled not in brine but in blood, which bubbled and seethed for furlongs behind their wake. Tho slanting; sun playing upon this crimson pond in tho sea, sent back its reflection into every face, so that they all glowed to each other like red men. And all the while, jet after jet of white smoke was agonizingly shot from the spiracle of the whale, and vehement puff after puff from the mouth of the ex cited headsman as at every dart, hauling in upon his crooked lance (by the line attached to it), Stubb straightened it again and again, by a few rapid blows against the gunwale, then again and again sent it into tho whale. "Pull up pull up!" he cried to the bows- man, as the waning whale relaxed in his wrath.

"Pull up! close to!" and the boat ranged along the fish's flank. When, reaching far over the bow, Stubb slowly churned his long sharp ance into tho fish, and kept it there, carefully churning and churning, as if cautiously seeking to feel after some gold watch that the whale might have swallowed, and which ho was fearful of breaking ero he cpuld hook it out. But that sold watch ho sought was tho innermost ifo of tho fish. And now it is struck; for, starting from his trance into that unspeakable thing called his "flurry," tho raonstcrhorribly wallowed in his blood, overwrapped himself in impenetrable, mad, boiling spray, so that tho imperiled craft, instantly dropping astern, had much ado blindly to strugglo out from that frenzied twilight into the clear air of day. And now nbating in his flurry, tho whale onco more rolled out into view: surging from side to side spasmodically dilating and contracting his spout-hole, with sharp, cracking, agonized respirations.

At last, gush after gusn oi cioi- ted red gore, at if it had been the purple JecsMcncch courage. of red wine, shot into the frighted nir and fall ing back again, ran dripping down his motion less tlanks into the sea. His heart had burst He's dead, Mr. Stubb," said Doggon. "Yes both pipes smoked out!" and with drawing his own from his mouth, Stubb scatter ed the dead ashes over tho water; and for moment, stood thoughtfully eyeing tho vast corpse he had made.

Structure on Piles. Itulo for calculating tho weight that can be safely trusted upon a pile which is driven for the foundation of a heavy structure. Hy John Sanders, Bret. Major U. Jingineers: A simple empirical rule, derived from nn ex tensive scries of experiments in pile driving, made in establishing the foundation for Fort Del aware, will doubtless prove acceptable to such constructors and builders as may have to resort iu me use ot pues, wunoni navmg an opportu nity of making similar researches.

I believe that full confidence may bo placed in the correctness oi mis ruie, dui i am not at present prepared to otler a statement of the facts and theory upon wnicn ii lsiounaeci. Suppose a pilo to be driven until it meets such an uniform resistance as is indicated by slight ana nearly equal penetrations lor several suc cessive blows on the ram and that this is done with a heavy ram, (its weight at least exceeding that ol the made fall from such a height that tho forco ol its blow will not bo spent in merely overcoming tho inertia of the pile, but at the same time not irom so great a height as to generate a force which would expend itself in crushing the fibres of the head of tho pile. In ii 1 1 .1 .1 ll ouuii ucusu wm do iouna inai me pno win safely bear, without danger of further subsi dence, as many times the weight of tho ram, as the distance which tho pile is sunk the last blow, is contained in tho distance which the ram falls in making that blow, divided by eight." For ex ample, let us take a practical case in which tho ram weighs one ton and falls six feet, and in which the pile is sunk halt an inch bv the last blow; then as half an inch is contained 141 times in 72 inches, the height the ram fall, if we divide 144 by 8, tho quotation obtained, 18 gives mo number ot tons which may be built with perfect safety, ia tho form of wall, upon such a pile. The above is from the iournal of the Frank- In Institute; the value and importance of this rule cannot bo too highly estimated bv our civ il engineers. Scientific American.

Poxtiac Railroad. Steed Improving A rench pony colt coming two years old, was run over" and cut in two by a locomotive upon the Pontile The indignant owner of this fleet and biuoded apinial presented himself to Mr. armed wiiu a heavy claim for damages. In the courso of the altercation which ensued, the ponv man insisted that the engineer ran over the coft on purpose, "at courso lie did," said the road has been abused by your infernal colts about long enough, and I gave directions to the men the very next tjme one of them challenged our locomotives for a race, to crowd steam and catch him if he could they did as I told them and overtook this blasted fellow after a tight race all tho way from Royal Oak The owner, satisfied with the ex-planation, pocketed the damages' and started. After he had got to a safe distance he looked over his shoulder and bawled: "You needn't feel so almighty crank about it; you couldn't have caught him if ho hadn't tumbled down Dot.

Adv. Go Ahead. Tho X. Y. Courier and Enquirer says: Improvements in everything improvable aro tho order of the day, and railroad cars seem to be tho object upon which inventors are now expending their genius.

We mentioned the other day the introduction of a smoking car on the New Haven Railroad. We now see it stated that on the Southern Railroad it is proposed to construct a saloon car wherein, passengers can walk about, play whist, wet their just ns much as they please. Another company is building cars with state rooms so that passengers can go to sleep at night like of being obliged to sit up in a chair for five or six hours. Gold among the Pacific Islands. Capt.

Rowland, of the sloop Anna, who arrived at Olympha, Oregon, on tho 8th September, from Vancouver's reports that extensive and valuable gold mines had been discovered and worked at Queen Charlotte's Island, which lie in the Pacific still north of Vancouver's. The Captain reported them equal if not superior to anything of tho kind yet discovered. The gold is found on the surface of the ground near the beach, and is dug by the natives in great quantities, without anything like a pick or shovel having nothing but such tools as they can make themselves they manage to get from two to eight ounces per day to the hand. They are very friendly to the whites, and aro anxious to have them come and trade and dig with them. Baltimore, Dec.

Bustle is not industry, any more than inrnu. THRILLING INCIDENT. Tho following thrilling incident is extracted from a very Interesting paper in Bentley's Miscellany, entitled Hours in Hindoostan." Tho Copra Copella is said to be one of the most ven-smous species of serpents in the East its bito being attended with almost instant death. Wo had been playing all the evening at whist. Our stakes had been gold; raohur points, and twenty on tho rubber.

Maxey who was always lucky, had won five consecutive bumpers, which lent a self-satisfied smilo to his countenance, and made us, tho losers, anything but pleased, when ho suddenly changed countenance, and hesitated to play this tho moro surprised sinco he was one who seldom pondered, being so perfectly master of tho game, that ho deemt cd long consideration superfluous. "Play away, Maxey, what are you about?" impatiently demanded Churchill, one of the most impetuous youths that ever wore tho uniform of the body guard. Hush responded Maxey, in a tone which thrilled through us, at the same time turning deadly pale. "Aro you unwell said another about to start up, for ho believed our friend had been suddenly ill. For the lovo of God sit ouiet." reioined the other, in a tone denoting extreme fear of nain.

and ho laid down his cards; "If you valno my me, move not. What can he mean has ho taken leave of his senses demanded Churchill appealing to himself. 11 Don't move, I tell vou in a sort of whis per I can never forget, uttered Maxey. "If you make any sudden motion lam a dead man We exchanged looks. He continued "Remain quiet, and all may vet bo well.

I have a copra copella around my leg." Our first impulse was to draw back our chairs. but an appealing look from the victim induced us to we were afraid that should the reptile transfer but one fold, and attach himself to any other of the party, that individual might already be counted a dead man, so fatal is the ouo oi mat urcadtul monster. Poor Maxey was dressed a3 many old resi dents still dress in India namely, breeches and silk stockings. He therefore felt more plainly every movement of the snake. His countenance assumed a livid hue, the words seemed to leave his mouth without the feature altering its position so rigid was his look, so fearful was ha east tho slightest movement should alarm the serpent and hasten the dreadful bite.

We were in agony little less than his own during the scene. Ho is coiling round," muttered Maxev. I feel him cold cold to my limbs; and now ho tightens. For the love of Heaven call for some mik! I dare not speak loud: let it bo placed on the ground near me let some be spilt on tho floor" Churchill cautiously gave the order, and a servant slipped out of the room. Don't stir.

Northcote, you moved your head. By everything sacred, I conjure you not to do so again. It cannot bo long cro my fate is decided. 1 have a wife and two children in Europe, tell them I diod blessing them tho snake is winding itself around my calf I leave them all I possess I can almost fancy I feel his breath. Great God to dio in such a manner." Tho milk was brought and carefully put down, a few drops were sprinkled on the floor and tins allrighted servant drew back.

Again Maxey spoke. No it has no effect. I dare not look down, but I am sure ho is about to draw and give tho bite of death with moro precision. Receive me pardon me my last hour has come. Again he pauses.

I die firm but this is past endurance ah no lie has undone another fold and loosens himself. Can he bo going to some one else?" We involuntarily started. "For tho lovo of Heaven, stir not. I am a dead man, but bear with me. He still loosens he is about to dart.

Move not but beware. Churchill ho falls off that way. Oh, this agony is hard to bear. Another pressure and I am dead. No he relax es At that moment poor Maxey ventured to look down, tho snake had unwound himself, tho last coil had fallen, and the reptile was making for the milk.

I am saved I am saved and Maxey bounded from his chair and fell senseless into tho arms of one of his servants. In another instant, need it bo added, we were dispersed tho snako was killed, and our poor friend carried more dead than alive to his room. Fires in Milwaukee. On Tuesday night, a firo broke out on tho corner of Spring st. and East Water street, damage, four to 85000.
