Awliscombe.

J.S.


In the sea-fight off Minorca, in 1756, a gunner had his right hand shot off, just as he was going to fire off a gun. The brave fellow took up the match, saying, quite unconcernedly, "So then you thought that I had but one arm."


FLOWERS.

With each expanding flower we find

Some pleasing sentiment combin'd;

Love in the myrtle bloom is seen,

Remembrance to the violet clings,
