It was on reading it, that Geo. D. Prentice said: "One might al- TOost wish to die, if he knew that so beauti-ful a tribute as this would be written to his mernloTy:" , On the bosom of a river. Where the snn uulooaod his quiver, And the starlight gleamed forever, Sailed a vessel light and free. Merning dew-drops hung like manna On the bright folds of her banner, And the zephyrs rose to fan her Softly to tho radiant sea. At her prow a pilot booming In the Hush of youth stood dreaming, And ho was in glorious seeming Like an angel from above. Through his hair the breezes sported, And as on the wavs he floated, Oft that pilot, angel throated, Warbled lays of hope and love. Through those locks so blithely flowing liuds of laural bloom wero blowing, Aud his hands anon were throwing Music from a lyre of gold. Swiftly down the stream ho glided, Soft the purple wave divided, Aud a rainbow arch divided On his canvas' snowy fold. Anxions hearts with fond devotion Watched him sailing to the ocean. Prayed that never wild commotion 'Midst the elements might rise. And be seemed somo young Apollo, Charming summer winds to follow, While the water flag's carol Trembled to his music sighs. But those pnrple waves enchanted Rolled besides a city haunted By an awful spell that daunted . Every comer to the shore. Night shades rank the air encumbered. And pale marble statues numbered Where the lotus caters slnnibered, ' And v;oke *o life no more. Then there rushed with lightningquickness O'er his face a niortn! sickness, And the dow in fearful thickness Gathered o'er his temple fair. And there swept a dying murmur, Through the lovely Southern summer, As the beauteous pilot comer Perislu-il by that city there. Still rolls on that radiant river, And tho sun unbinds his quiver, And the starlight streams forever On its bosom as before. Rut that vessel's rainbow banner Greets no more the gay Savanna, And that pilot's Into drops manna On the pnrplo waves no more. Written for the Patriot. A WOMAN'S PRESENCE OF MIND. ItY MRS. LYLES. Wo lia<l laughed, a ml sang, aud danced :till wo were tired, antl at last, with one impnl.se, bad thrown our-selves in a semi-circle at the feet of our hostess, begging for a story. Mrs. F. was one of those rare wo-men, who seem born to command res-pect aud at the same time to win love. Biclily. endowed by nature, art and cultivation had done their utmost to make her what she now appeared, "A perfect woman nobly planned." She had gathered, as was her frequent cus-tom, a party of young people round her to spend a mouth. As no one could act the part of hostess more charmiugly, no one could more readily &11 her home with pleasant guests.— On this occasion five young ladies and three youug gentlemen had been invit-ed, but eurly that afternoon the gen-tlemen had driven into town, and had been detained by a heavy rain, which continued with steadily increasing vi-olence, so that we had little or no ex-pectation of seeing them that night.— However, we did not tear, for though Mrs. F. lived two miles out of town, and had no immediate neighbors, she had trustworthy servants, and, as she told us, had ofteu staid alone with them at night. "A story, eh J" said she in reply to our uuited request; "well, as you seem destined to be beauless this bit-ter night, I do not see in what better manner we can pass away the time;— for if my story does not prove to be very entertaining, it may at least have the effect of a narcotic and transport you all to tho land of dreams an hour earlier than usual." Then followed the usual bustle of preparation when a story is to be told. Little Nellie Hyde tucked her dainty feet under her on a low ottoman—her favorite attitude when unrestrained by the presence of masculiues—while her more dignified friend, Amelia Wynd-ham, lounged gracefully in an easy chair. Jennie West, Addie Mitchell and I arranged ourselves as our vary-ing fancies dictated, and when all were satisfactorily disposed, Mrs. F. began her story. She had just reached that thrilling ..oint where the gaze of the listener becomes fixed upon the face of the speaker-. Little Nellies**bolt upright on her low seat with eyes distended and nervea highstmag with Ax'clte-ment, when suddenly she found herself enveloped in a huge shawl,—a— niously tripped oft her seat and rolled over and over on the carpet. At first she attend a frightened acrtam and then a little smothered laagh; for she evidently, with the rest of as, consid-ered the performance aa only % prac-tical joke on the part of Mrs. F., who sometimes descended from her dignity sufficiently to engage hi such pranks. But what was our astontshjoent ming-led with horror, to discover that what we had considered a mere Joke had only jast escaped being a fearful mail' ty. When Nellie, after being rolled, and tumbled, and beaten, and buIB ted about by Mrs. F., was at last relieved of her huge covering, and lay pann-ing and laughing on the floor, she ex. hibited to oar astonished vision only the remnants and shreda of her light evening dress with a scorched and blackened petticoat Silence strickan we gazed at Mrs.F. for an' explanation, while Nellie, comprehending at a glance the awful suffering she had escaped, Hew fearfully frightened, now that all danger was past.into the arms of her preserver. With wonderful tact Mrs. F. soothed her, and gently explained how tha accident originated. While we sat, wrapped in the interest of the romance, and oblivious to every-thing else, Nellie's dress, drawn out in a puff by the fire, to which She sat im-prudently near.had caughtaad was in a blaze ere she discovered; it Know ing then that everything'depended upon promptness and decision, ahe had instantly seized the shawl, whioh Nellie's own loving care had placed upon the arm of her chair in case she should become chilly, had thrown it round her and succeeded in keeping us all in darkness aa to the accident until the danger was pasaed. "What wonderful presence of mind!"' we all exclaimed in a breath. "Presence of mind 1" said Nellie ;— •■oh how I envy yon the possession of that faculty, dear Mrs. F. I am sore that I am not gifted with a particle of it. If I thought I was, I would almost wish that somo terrible danger might threaten you that I could avert, as you did mine. Bat I am each a timid little goose that I am afraid all 1 should do would be to scream and frightcu away the service of every one else." "Oh, no, my dear; I am sure you underrate yourself, for I know of no one whom I would sooner risk to rash to the rescue of a friend than my little Nellie, with her warm heart and noble impulses. I believe your courage would rise with the occasion. Bat suppose I finish my story, for I left the hero in a very perilous situation, and it would be crnel not to relieve him." . We all knew that this was only a ruse for calming us, and withdrawing onr thoughts from tho recent threaten-ed calamity. It had the desired effect fur when we separated for the night there was nought in our manner to in-dicate that anything unasaal had oc-curred, save that a tear stood in Nellie's eye as she gave Mrs. F. a fer-vent good night kiss. We girls had habitually occupied two adjoining rooms on the second tloor, communicating with each other by means of a large door, which we usually kept open at night Large closets in the rear o( these apartments served as dressing-rooms, while smaller ones in the recesses of the chimneys served for wardrobes. On entering our room Nellie walked straight to one of these closets, and as she opened the door I saw her give a sudden start and tarn deathly pale; then, as if ashamed of her cowardice she marched boldly forward, procured what she wanted, and coming out, gently closed the door. Afterwards, saw that her face remained pale, I noticed nothing unusual to her de-meanor. Bat just as we were all ready to jump into bed she exclaimed, aa if the thought had auddenly occurred to her, " Girls, it is such a wretched shivery night suppose we all sleep in the aame room. One of you can aleep on my little bed with me while the other three can lie spoon-fashion on the big bed. What say you t" We all readily consented for indeed the project was rather agreeable than otherwise to us; besides w» wen «in tho mood to have gratified HeUy in any whim. ..:«**"« »*!»* over into the other «»m I observed Nelly steal back soiftly • cod as my' position command-ed a view, of the room ^'iulHletf'l »w• to,fWfcrr*H» *«J/»T*he door,, than aa qcistiy that: in the doer leading isto the hall; and as she came thtedgh the' door leadinginto :the room T^ :t^^tt;'.rrWJr*>e;..?piaeleasJf cloasd and locked that Ataributiag these Wtmswal • pTeoeu-titan to nemmsness «tipjt>wW' 'net S*"r*$.--fWR .TWF*W I exciUmeat I thought nothing of it ■* the time and ii in the land of dreams. When I o^edW'ejfiia' 00$ utori£ ing the firiif ohject they rested upon, was Nellie, standing ready dressed at ihs window which commanded a view of the road; *tiaing to 'town. '^IftTwlj^pn^.qftbe^ux have you risenawearly.Neilie," said l,«ie,in Ned Stoat* the gallant Captain, of Jiwmfe Alston our poet friend T I knfcw/tti not.for. Ajb&f'^ulgwInnlB1, frr be. fci AmeVefetar^iafproperty." Albert Burgwinoe, by the way, was Mrs. IV nephew, a-wealthy spttthe*. er, handsome, bravo and generous, as are rnost of his race: the pet of all the ladies and the idol of his Aunt. •..._• We had sees from the first that Amelia .was bent upon'his capture and so had contented ourselves with aa equal division of the other two, giving eachy as we laughingly agreed, half a beau apiece. - Nellie turned slowly round aa I ad-. dressed b*r, aud suiiliagrather faintly replied, ul was awake when the sun' began to rise and have been watching' the frozen lain-drope aparkle in its rays; hat see, how rapidly they are. melting." It was indeed a sight to tempt one to rise early I admitted, as, approached the window. The tall trees which lined the avenue were: beading "nestli their covering of froz-en water, while etery leaf and twig and hardy chrysanthemum and frost-defying zinia glistened aud sparkled, fat the sunshine likejprecious stones of varied hues by gaslight. We remained gazing on the scene until the sound of the dressing bell disturbed the others, and then began the usual bustle and confusion of tongues, which needs no description to those who have Been a roomful ol young ladies going through the opera-tion of beautifying themselves. After breakfast we repaired to the verandah to watch tho arrival of the gentlemen who were soon rapidly driving up the avenue. As the little pony phmton swept up to tho steps with a flourish and the geutlemen sprang out* a chorus of merry voices greeted them. Mrs. F. rallied them, in her charming way, on' their lack of gallantry in leaving a parcel of dam-sels all forlorn on such a night "I believo that Albert would have come through a storm of. pitchforks and broad*words," said Ned Stuart laughing; "indeed, we forced him to remain by locking op Fairy. There certainly Was a powerful attraction drawing him thitherward." Amelia's vivid blush and pleased smile showed plainly who appropriat-ed this compliment. '..While Ned was speaking'Iiwatched.

The presiding genius of the eeeae atenred' to be Nellie, who directed the others and ft the same time buckled a trunk strap round the victim's legs aad another round his body, securing his arms. Surprise and consternation h|W us B^eft't nhfil'thia was complet-ed, when with one simultaneous im-pulse, we all burst into a peal of laughter so long snd loud that H drew the servants from all )parta of the house,, and thijjr ;varied expressions of surprise and dismay aa they appeared, oae by one, upon the scene were too cemiehr. But the crestfallen looks of the fellow soon brought us to our senses,and we turned to Nellie and the gentlemen tor an explanation. One scarce seemed necessary how-e'rer,' fftrf tiiink we all comprehended now • why "Nellie ' had proposed our sleepiug together the night before On going to the closet to procure her night dress-she had discovered'the r^an",5^ rather his feet, as they pres-aed from beqeath the various articles of clothing, whieh ardorned a rack— or, to use r» term more familiar to latrtnjresses; a "close horse," one of Uje kind which can bo folded and set away in a corner when not in use, and whick wn.s-stretched diagonally across the closet and 'covered with nowly ironed clothes. Those same feet we immediately recognized as belonging |to a clerical book pedlar who bad call-led the day, before. Tho spectacles, tic wig^ndihe) luxurious beard were minus; but we bad no difficulty, with •ilui niil elf them peculiarly long and ,<Vobked feet, in identifying bim with i hat individual. lie bad been ushered into the,parlor just as Amelia was in the act of exhibiting to our admiring eyes n new set of jewelry which she had no suitable opportunity ofdisplay- Ing during her visit. With a greedy eye ho had watched Amelia replace them in their casket, aud had heard her carry them into tho room above.— AfterWards,secreti ng b imself about.the grounds, he had watched his opportu-nity, and returning into the honse,bad bidden himself in the closet with the .design of appropriating them, and per-haps other valuables also, and decamp-ing in the night with his treasures. Nellie's presence of mind had saved them—and him too. We wero all lend in onr praises of her coolness and courage Ned Stuart avowed that a man could not have managed the affair any better; for which doubt-ful compliment we all thauked him with must impressment. Amid great laughter and merriment, more, no doubt than the captive thought tho occasion warranted, he was taken to town and safely lodged in jail. At his subsequent trial he was pronounced to be an Old offender and Nellie received the liberal reward that had been offer-ed for his apprehension. With this she purchased au eloquent water ser-vice engraven with all our names and presented it to Mrs. F. as a token of our love and esteem for her. The rest of us did not feel that wo had any claim to be represented in the gift, but sneh was Nellie's wish. At hers and Albert's wedding,which waa', celebrated. somo months after-waids at Mrs. F.'s home, we were all present, and if. Amelia felt any chagrin Kt the loss of the handsome Southern-er, she concealed it wonderfully, aud was no doubt partially consoled by the capture, on the night of the wedding, of a rich and childless widower.
