This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1849 edition. Excerpt: ... the water spout. A tale of the sea. I have been out upon the wide ocean, and I have been the witness of its calm and of its storm, and what it is that makes the mariner's calling so fascinating-, I cannot tell. Often have I heard the sea-worn tar exclaim--" The sea--the sea--the bounding sea, Its billow is the throne for me.' And I have thought it would be my extacy of bliss, to ride upon the buoyant waters, where I could gaze upon the waves and sky, with no lazy looking land to mar the beauty of the scene. In one short voyage, I saw all I wish to see of the ocean, and I pray my lucky planet, if such I have, that I may never be more than comfortable swimming distance from terra again. One circumstance took place while I was a sailor, that I have often thought of with interest, never without excitement, and now that it is gone by, and the danger past forever, I will tell it to my friends. The sky was without a cloud, and not a breath of wind was passing over the deep blue sea, --the image of the i bright sun was shadowed deep below the shining surface, and his beams were spread in brilliancy upon the mirror he seemed to gaze at. The old clump-built "Numa," a ship of about five hundred tons, swam like a huge leviathan upon the bosom of the quiet watefs, --not a sound disturbed the deathlike solitude, save an occasional ripple that played against the old ship's side, and any one who has heard the slight splashing of the waters against a wharf or vessel, when no other sound is near, knows that such an interruption renders solitude more solemn still. All on board were asleep, but the mate and myself;--we were sitting at the ship's stern, where we sat day after ilay, he rehearsing, and I listening to, the scenes through which he had passed, in...

Excerpt from Sketches in Lyric Prose and Verse Spring, passing on her way, came to a hill-crest, where Ennui reclined, wrapped in the sleep of weariness. Upon the crusty leaves of winter's hoarding his frame lay motionless, in utter lassitude. So gentle was the tread of Spring, so mute her breath, that he awakened not at her approach. Perceiving him she smiled and drew near. Bending above him, she lifted from her brow a fragrant garland and placed it lightly on his own, and from her tasseled apron she drew a hundred roses, binding them with the tendrils of soft mosses, as a pillow for his head. The trailing vines about her feet she laced into a verdant spread with which she covered him, and dotted it with petaled stars of choicest hue; and in the heart of every flower, and through each palpitating leaf she breathed the fragrance of her own sweet self. With sunshine smiles she chased the shivering gnomes of winter from the surrounding wood, and from the silences she beckoned waiting birds and bade them sing a rhapsody. All this accomplished she stood apart, and with a silent challenge moved her awakening wand o'er dreaming Ennui.
