Tat's Philosophy.
When the winter la cold
I keep myself warm :
When the summer is hot
1 keep myself cool ;
It's nielbe I'm bold.
And it's inebbe I'm not ;
But a gossoon's a fool
When he goes into harm !
Sez my tdd L'ucle Dan
A w lse out and Stiddy
"What's the world to a man
When his wife is si widdy?"
When a soldier struts by
ith hid sword at his side.
And the rattle, rattle drums
Beat the roll and the call,
He may go or may fly
I stay here till death conies.
For I miDtl use of all
That iu the battle have died !
I itni like Cncle lrtn.
For he said troth and did lie
" What's the world to a man
When his wife i a wlddy?"
W hen the sailor hoists sail
And stands out tin the deep.
Leaving sweetheart or wife
And the chiluer behind.
He tlmpts the wild gale
And he tritles with life.
And lie sinks, d'ye mind.
Where the ineruiaideus sleep !
"Pat, ''says old l'ucle Dan,
Stay at home with your Biddy ;
What's the woaid to a mau
When his wife is a widdy?"
Let the scholar sit up
And write late aud long
To insure him a name
He may sit up for me ;
Give me but a full cup.
He may have ail bis fame ;
For it's etuiT, d'ye see,
Aud not worth an old song :
Let us live. Cncle Dan ;
Let us live and love, Biddy ;
What's the world to a man
When his wife id a widdy?
A SEA SI OKI'.
it was in the year 1779. The red
siiu had just come up out of the At
lantic, and now brightened the slight
ly rippled water of Salem harbor. The
sails of the Tyrannicide, privateer,
Capt. Sea waif, had been loosed, tier
cable hove short, and she only waited
for the change of the tide to commence
her cruiue.
She was, for that era, astonishingly
clippeiish, raking in spars, sharp in
hull, and calculated for carrying an
astonishing quantity of canvas. Her
rig was that of a two-topsail schooner,
her lower nitidis being very long and
heavy, so as to carry large fore-and-aft
sails. Her burden appeared to be
about iJ00 tons. She was pierced for
eight 24-pound carronades on a side; a
long brass 32-pounder, working on a
pivot, shone bright as gold between
her masts, mounted high enough to
work her hammock nettings. Around
her masts could be t-een the gleam of
boarding-pikes an:t batle axes. At
her mainmast a blood ied rlag floated
out, bearing the rnotto: "Death to Ty
rants!" At the mainlruck another
red flag bore the name of the schooner
"Tlic Tyrannicide.'' Her figurehead
was a serpent striking his fang into
the heart of a man who wore a crown.
Taking her altogether, she was indeed
a dangerous and saucy-looking craft,
calculated to both sail and fight well.
Upon Iter deck many men could be
seen, showing that, if she had "teeth,"
she had also strength to use them.
All of her boats had been hoisted
upon the captain's gig. and the oflicers
were watching the tide very impa
tiently tor its return.
Presently Seawaif appeared at the
end of the wharf. The young captain
sprang into his boat amid the applause
tit hundreds of citizens who had gath
erod there to see the privateer go to
sea, and in a few minutes he was on
board his vessel.
With a clear; bugle-like voice which
ueeued no trumpet, the young com
mander shouted:
".Man the capstan bars, lads, and run
the. anchor up with a will. Stand by
the jib and flying-jib Lanyards lay
the lieadyards aback!"
His orders were obeyed readily; and
in a few moments the second ctlicer,
who stood on the forecastle looking
over the bows, cried:
"She's broken ground, sir!"
"Very well, sir. Ilun up the jib :;.
flying-jib, and haul the sheets to Ha
starboard! Man the top-gallant and
top-sail and halyards! Round with
the capstan, men, and run the anchor
up the bows!"
A moment later, and, the head sails
up, the veering bow of the schooner
proved her to be all aweigh; and then
came the order:
"Sheet home, aud hoist away top
sail and top-gallant sails!"
This was done; and. as the fore-and-aft
sails, already up, tilled, the schoon
er oegan to gather headway. Then, as
she fell off before the wind, which was
far out of the harbor, her square sails
filled, and she shot ahead with increas
ing velocity. The crowd on shore,
looking with delight at the splendid
vessel, and gladdened, too, at the
thought of her errand, rent the air
with cheers.
Nev r was .1 craft in better battle
trim on deck, below, or aloft, than the
privateer, after Seawaif had got her
n'gging stretched. Conscious that he
was ready too meet any foe of his ton
nage and weight of metal, lie boldly
headed off from the coast for the track
of the inward-bouud vessels from Eng
land. One morning soon after he was at
breakfast in his cabin, with the first
officer and the doctor young Morly,
the second officer, being in charge on
deck.
fiut each of them bounded from the
table as he heard the shout. "Sail, ho!"
from the look-out at the top gallant
cross-trees.
"Where away, and what does she
look like?" cried young Molly in re
ply. Seawaif aud h:s companions held
their breath and listened to the an
sw er.
"1 see three sails, sir, dead ahead;
they si't-m square-rigged, ami coming
liht down Lefort tiie w ind," was the
reply.
"Englishmen, and making for the
coast, I'll wager my first prize-money!"
said the captain a he hurried on deck.
"John Hull's men, by gar I shall
get my instruments ready for ampu
tate!" cried the delighted doctor, a
Frenchman.
"So will 1 !" said Mr. Doolittle, the
first officer, as he buckle-.! on his sharp,
but short, cutlass, and followed his
commander on deck.
The bite;:ts was fresh, and the
schooner, with only i.er lower sails
and top-sail set, was going off to the
eastward on a tout bowline, her top
g.iilant and royal yards pointed to the
wind, and her larboaid tacks aboard
There was quite a heavy sea rolling,'
and, as she pitched into and through
i. hi e threw the snowy foam over her
plow almost as high as her foretop.
"See all clear for action, fore and
aft! KeeX preventer stays and braces!
Have the spare spars cleared away!
Gunners, look to your children; they
may have play soon! Boarders and
pikeruen, see that your tools are ia
their places!" cried the captain, cheer
fully, as he came on deck; and then
he seized a spy glass and scanned the
vessel in sight.
"What do you make out, sit, If you
please?" asked Mr. Doolittle, whose
hopes for work and prize-money were
now on tho rise.
"I see six vessels, but they are yet
too far off to make out whether they
are aimed or not." was the reply.
"Shall the gunner open tho maga
zine, sir?"
"Yes, after the galley fires are put
out".
The men went to work and their re
spective btations quietly, but with a
cheerful look, which betokened a per
fect confidence in their vessel, and es
pecially in their oflicers.
An hour passed, and the vessels
were now bull-up-ahead, yet Capt.
Seawaif gave no order either to alter
her course, or shorten sail.
"What about our colors?" asked the
lieutenant.
"You can run 'em up in rolls to
their places, ready to pull whew I or
der it, Mr. Doolittle." eaid the captain,
still keeping his glass directed toward
the approaching ships.
The enemy were now rising fant,
not more than four or five miles off.
but the merchantman, obeying signals
from the sloop-of-war, w hich had ev
idently discovered the nationality of
the schooner by her rig, hauled on a
wind aud shortened sail, while the
man-of-war held her course tinder a
cloud of canvas.
"Take your stations for working
ship!" cried Seawaif. The men
bounded to the sheets aud braces.
"Hard up the lielm, ease oil the sheets,
and round in the weather-braces!"
cried the captain.
" 'Tarnal thunder. You're not go
ing to run from one sloop-of-war, are
you sir?" asked tho lieutenant, in
agonized wonder.
"Get out and rig two spars with
iron enough to sink them, lor drags;
drop one over each quaiter, aud ask
no impertinent questions, Mr. Doo
little," said the captain, quietly.
"1 beg your pardon, sir, a hundred
times; 1 thought you were going to
run!" said the now dtlighted ollicer,
as tie hastened to obey the order.
"Double-shot with grape and can
nister gunners to your stations!"
cried the captain, now determinedly.
"Men, make no noise when 1 announce
it, but within an hour, that sloop-of-war
shall strike her Hag, or we'll go
down with ours flying! When she is
takeu the merchantmen v. ill be easy
prizes."
Had they not been cautioned the
mn would have cheered so loudly as
lo be heard -on board of the sloop-of-war.
After the drags were rigged and
lowered over the side, held by stout
hawsers, and not seen becnuso sunk
beneath the water, the schooner did
not go more than three, knots, al
though under a lull spread of can
vasshe seemed to be running away
from her antagonist, which now
could lie seen coming up hand-overhand,
her decks crowded with men,
and her ports showing a battery of
twenty-four guns.
"Show them our colors and name!"
cried the young captain, while his pale
face flushed with a smile of terrible
joy.
It was done in an instant, but the
vessel's head was not changed nor a
sail touched.
Rapidly the Englishman closed up,
heading a little to leeward, so as to
range under her larboard beam.
"Crouch well behind the bulwarks,
men, stand by your larboard guns,
but do not touch a match until the
order comes from my lips; depress
your guns so as lo take her between
wind and water! Sail-trimmers stand
to our sheets and braces, and be ready
for orders.
Those orders given, Capt. Seawaif
took his position on the larboard side
of the quarterdeck and with ill-concealed
delight saw the Englishman
range along until he was almost
abeam.
"Haul down your colors, or I'll sink
you! Strike, you yankee rebel, strike!"
shouted the English captain, who
stood on the poop of his vessel In
full uniform, steadying himself by
holding u to the inizzen rigging.
"I'm going to strike -not my colors,
but you," cried Seawa'f, sarcastically,
instantly giving the order to pour in
his whole broadside.
It was done with terrible effect, for
the British had not anticipated re
sistance from a rebel .whom they sup
posed to be using his best efforts to
escape, and were huddled along the
deck on the side next to tho schooner,
and were cut down in fearful swaths.
And as the sails were little injured,
the sloop-of war shot ahead, so that
she was past the schooner before she
could return the broadside.
"Cut away the drags, spring to your
starboard battery throw in chain
shot as well as grape and cut her
sticks away!" cried Seawaif.
Then ordering the helm up, as the
schooner's headway increased, he
veered off athwart the stern of the
sloop, and, as the guns came in range,
delivered a raking fire, which not only
swept her decks, but, cutting away
her masts, crippled her completely.
He then hauled on a wind, deter
mined to pepper her until she would
"strike" and not wishing to lose any
men at close quarters if he could help
it. Jiut he had no occasion to use his
guns any more, for suddenly, with a
shock which shook the sea and air like
an earthquake, the ill-fated craft was
seen te fly in fragments, amid a cloud
of smoke, into the air.
Whether by accident or desigu no
one could tell, but in some way the
powder in the magazine had been ig
nited, and she was blown to atoms.
Prompted by humanity, Capt. Sea
waif ordered the helm up, a d steered
for the spot where the sloop-of-war
bad been, in hopes to save some sur
viving person of her crew.
Hut not a living soul could be seen.
A few blackened spars and limbers
only met the eye.
