On the flowery bunk ofa purliiig stream
Stands :1 fair young child, while the golden gleam.
Of the bright nrorii rests on the sunny face,
And amid flowing ringlets carressiiigly plays;
A dlmpled hand grasps the gilded prow
Ofa little toy-skiff, and eagerly now
It reaches out to the silvery tide,
And the painted sails o'er the wafers glide. ‘
The little feet. laugh, while he shouts with glee,
“Oil, mother, coinclook ! my ship‘s at sea I"
But the blue eyes glisten with feeling tears,
As the tiny skifl‘down the current steers,
And coructh not back at his pleading cull ;—
Smile not at his grief; ‘twas his childish all.
Slowly pacing the wave-worn strand,
licr soft pink check by tile sea-breeze fanned,
A maiden. writehcth with pensive irir;
Anon she stops, and with hands so fair
Shadingthe light from her earliest eyes,
She looks afar where the blue waste lies
Blended with mist in the distance pale,
To catch the glimpse of a snowy Hill;
And her face lights up with glad surprise
As the bright mirage from the waves doth rise:
Brit sighs succeed as the shadows play
o‘er the briiiy deep, and ’tis lost for aye;
Thus gazing afar through hope and fear,
With asmilc that gleaius through a trembling tear,
She waitcth long for-”the bright to be,—
That coming ship on the distant sea.
Day by day in his counting room
The merchant toilelh ‘mid gathering gloom,
While anxious thoughts and \vearisome care,
Twirrc a cypress wreath for his pale brow there ;
IIc scarcheth the list of “Arrivals” o‘er,—
“Latc Departures” from a foreign shore,—
The,“Wrecks,”—“Disasters,"—the “Lost at. Sea,”—
Murmurs ofruiii, and poverty,
And clencheth his hand as if power to crave,
While Ire utters a curse on the tardy wave ;
Furrowed the brow, and diniu the eye,
Watching and waiting his earthly all,—
Treasurcs which lie ‘ncath the dark wax-(35‘ pail.
A low, thatched cut by the sounding shore,
Sends its beicou raijhen the,storiii-clouds .ower,
‘ And night. comes on, and the surf beats wild,
And the heart of the widow is with her child;
The mariner sees it through distant diiii,
Takes hope, for he kuowcth ’tis meant for him ;
There morning and cvc the mother prays
That “He who the winds and tempest stays——
Keep from all ill and danger free, .
My darling Willie on the wide, wide sea."
Ali, we all have ships on a stormy 'sca !
That sea is the marge of eternity ;
And with anxious hearts when the tciiipests rife,
Do we scan the clouded horizon of life, '
If percliance a glimmering sail may appear,
To tell of hope and comfort near :
Thus we watch and waitby the way-worn strand,
Those coming ships from a far off hind .:
Brit ’tis known but to One whether woe or weal
Be their freight, or how long ere the grating keel
May sound a welcome for thee and me,—
Whether safely anchored, or lost at sea .’

Tun VALUE or PUBLIC Inrnovnxnnrs—
By returns just made in New York, it ap-
pears that in three years, the assessed value
of the real estate in the three wards sur—
rounding the Central Park, had increased
$34,600,395. The taxes paid by property
owners in these three wards for 1863, on tho
increased valuation alone, was $1,084 551,81.
But. the annual inn-rest on the land and im-
proleuienls of the Central Park up to this
time, at. six per cent. is only $585,932 75.
From which it appears that the city has
gained by the Central Park a clear annual
gain lll revenue. over the interest on its out-
lay, of so large a sum as $4483 1,805.
