' Wu had been nearly five \veeks at son, when the captain found, by :1 nautical observation, that we were within one hundred and thirty miles of the north side of Jamaica. Fa. vorahlc winds and smooth seas had hitherto been our constant attend- ants, and everything on board con- spired to render the confinement and monotonj.’ of a long voyage less annoying than they rsually are.“ The cabin passengers consisted of Major and fairs. 1.. 1" iii A F , a new- marricd couple; Miss l’â€"â€"â€", sister to the latter; Mr. I) ,a young: Irishman; and myself. Our C:ij)~ tain was a man of pleasing manners and liberal ideas, and formed an imâ€" portant acquisition to our partv, bv fording every facility to the indul- gence of them. Much of our time was spent in conversation, and in walking on deck; and when first dews of evening obliged us to de- sound to the cabin, the captain would often entertain us with a re- lation of the various dangers which he and other persons had cncourn, tcrcd at set, or detail, with great’ gravity, Some of the prevailing su- perstitions of sailors. Afflictiin he possessed more go- neral information than usually falls to the lot of sea-faring,r persons, his mind was tincturcd with some of their weaknesses and preju. ices. The ladies of our party had a great taste for natural history, and Wished. u to obtain specimens of all the most. had several times requested the cap- tain to shoot one of Muilic r Carey's chickens, that they might take a‘ drawing from it; liowchr, he al- ways dcclincd doing so, but never gave any satisfactory reason for his unwillingness to oblige them in this respect, At last, Mr. D killed two of the birds, after having seveâ€"i rul times missed whole flocks Of’ them. The captain seemed Very much startled when he saw thet . . . 1 animals drop on the uavcs. ‘ \Vill' you have the goodi s to let down the boat to pick tip the game.” said Mr. D . "Yes, sir,’ re- plied he, ‘if you’ll go off in her, and never return on board this vcs- sel. Here is a serious business. Be assured ‘vc have not seen the end of it.’ He then y'alkcd away without offering to give any orders about lovy'ering,r the boat; and the seamen, who witnessed the transac- tion, looked as if they would not have obeyed him had he even done 50. Though we saw no lanl, every- thing proved that were in the ‘vVest liidlu seas. The sky had, within a few days, begun to aSsume a more dazzling aspect, and long ranges of con'iical-shapcd clouds floated along the horizon. Land birds, with rnq luv ful’iClC‘tI we could discover a vege- table fragrance in the breezes that SWt‘liCd our sails. One delightful clear morning, when we were. in hourly expecta- - M. A TREQHMGNE} HELL, Fragrant, EM new or, teen. were immediately baited for that purpose by the seamen. We caught large quantities of dolphin, and of another kind of fish, and put the whole into the hands ofthe steward, with orders that part should be dressed for dinner, and part distri- buted among the crew. VVhCi'i the dinner hour arrived, we all assembled in the cabin in hiin Spirits, and sat down 'to table. it being St. George’s day, the cap- tain, who was an Englishman, had ordered that everything should be provided and set. forth in the most sumptuous style, and the steward had done full justice to his direc- tions. We made the-wines, which were exquisil: and abundant, circu- latc rapidly, and every glass in- crcascd our gaicty and good humor, while the influence of our mirth rendered the ladies additionally amusing and animated. The capw tain ren’iarkcd that, as there were two clarionot players among the crew, we ought to have a dance upon the quarterâ€"deck at sunset.â€" This proposal vas i'ecaivcd with much delight, particularly by the females of our party ; and the cap- tain had just told the servant in waiting to bid the musicians pre- pare themselves, when the mate entered the cabin, ‘llltl said that the man at the helm had dropped down almost senseless, and that another of the crew was so ill that he could scarcely speak. The captain, on receiving this in- fori‘nation, grew very pale, and seemed at a loss what to reply. At last he started from his chair, and hurried tip the gangway. Our mirth ceased in a n'iomeiit, though none of us appeared to krow why; but the minds of all were evidently occupied by what they had heard, and Major L remarked, with a faltering voice, that seamen were very liable to be taken suddenly ill. in hot climates. After a little time. we. sent the' servant to inquire what was going forward upon dock. He returned immediately, and informed us that the two sailors were worse, and that a third had just been attickcd in the same way. He had soprccly said those words, when Mrs. L gave a shriek, and cried out that her sister had formed away. This added to our confusion and alarm ; and the Major and Mr. D trembled so much that they were hardly able to convey the young lady to her state-room. . All conversation was now at an end, and no one uttered a word till Mrs. I. returned from her sis- ter’s apartment. While we were inquiring),r how the latter was, the' captain cutcrcd the cabin in a state of great agitation. ‘ This is a di‘erid- ful business,’ said he. ‘ The fact is â€"â€"it is my duty to tell youâ€"1 fear we are all poisoned by the fish we have etc. One of the crew died a few minutes since, and five others are dangerously ill.’ ‘Poisoncr' 3 my God I Do you say so!

Mr. l)â€"â€"---~ became delirious ; the major lay upon the cabin floor in a state of torpidity ; and the captain had drowned all sense and recollection by drinkingr a large quantity of brandy. Mrs. Lâ€"â€"-. watched her husband and her sister alternately, in a state of quiet despair. I was comparatively but little af- fected, and therefore employed myâ€" self in assisting others until they seemed to be past all relief, and then sit down, anticipating the box-â€" rid conscqucnces which would re- sult from the death of the whole ship’s company. While thus occupied, I heard the steersman call out, ‘Taken all aback here.’ A voice,wliich I knew to be the mate's, immediately an~ swetcd, " Well, and what’s that to us? Put her before the wind, and let her go where she pleases.’ I soon perceived, by the rushing 0fthe water, that there was a great iii- other vessel. But the velocity with which we spe‘r along rendered our extrication instantaneous; and, on looking back I saw a ship without a bowsprit,pitching irregularly among cordagc and a tumult of voices.â€" But, after a little time, nothing was distinguishable by the eye or by the car. My situation appeared doubly horrible, when l reflected that I had just been within call of human crca. tures, who might have saved and assisted all on board, had not an evil distiny hurried us along, and made us the means of injuring those who alone were capable of affording us relief. About midnight Our fore-topmost gave way, and fell upon deck with a tremendous noise. The ship im- mediately swung round, and began to labour in a terrible niantiCi',\vliile several waves broke over her suc- cessivcly. I had just resolved to descend the gangway for shelter, when a white figure rushed past me, with a .wild shriek, and sprang overboard. I saw it struggling among the billows, and tossing about its arms distract- edly, but had no means of affording it any assistance. I watched it for somc time, and observed its convul- sivc motions gradually grow more feeble; but its form soon became undistinguishablc amidst the foam of the bursting waves. The dark- ness prevented me from discovering who had thus committed himself to the deep in a moment of mad- ness, and I felt a strong repugnance at attempting to ascertain it, and rather wished that it might have been some spectre, or the offspring crease in the velocity of the ship’s progress, and went upon deck to as- certain the cause. .1 found the male stretched upon the top of the companion, and ad" dressied him, but he made no reply. The man at the helm was tying a rope round the tiller, and told me he had bottom so blind and dizzy, that he could neither steer nor see the compass, and would therefore fix the rudder in such a manner as would keep the ship’s head as near the wind as possible. On going for- ward to the bows, I found the crew, lying inotionlcse in every direction. They were either insensible of the dangerous situation in which our vowel was. or totally indifferent to it; and all my representations on this head failed to draw forth an in- telligible remark from any of them. Our ship carried a great deal ofcan- vass, the lower studding sails being. up, for we had enjoyed a gentle breeze directly astern, before the wind handed us in the way already mentioned. About an hour after sunset almost every person on board seemed to have become worse. I alone re- taincd my senses unimpaired. The wind now blcw very fresh, and we‘ went through the water at the rate often miles an hour. The night looked dreary and turbulent. The sky was covered with large fleeces of broken clouds, and the stars, flasncd angrily through them, as they were wildly hurried along by the blast. The ca began to run n so high, and the masts showed. by their incessant creaking, that they carried more sail than they could well sustain. lzstood alone near the stern of the ship. Nothing; could be heard above or below deck but the dashing of the Sttrgcs and the meanings of the wind. All the people on board was to me the same as dead; and I was tossed about, in the vast ex- pause of waters, without a compa- nion or fellow-sufferer. I knew not what might be my fate, or where 1 should be carried. The vessel, as it cai'ecred :ilongthe raging; deep. uncontrolch by human hands, sccm~ ed under the guidance of a ruthless demon, to whose Cttpi‘lCéS its ill- fated crew had been mysteriously consigned by no stipcrior power.

At lastl distinctly saw a light at seine distancaâ€"J anti- cipated instant desti‘ucti0i2i~â€"l grew irresolutc whether to iemain upon dock and face death, or wait for it below.

As the sea continued to break over the vessel, 1 went down to the cabin, after having closely shut the ,tzai’igway doors and cOi’npai’iiOii.-- Tot-:il darkness prevailed below. 1 addressed the captain and all my fellow-passengers by name, but re- ceived no reply from any of them, though I sometimes fancied I heard moans and qtnck breathing, when the tumult of waters without hap- pened to subside a little. But I thought that it Was perhaps imagiâ€" nation, and that they were probably all dead. I began to catch for breath, and felt as if I had been immured in a large coffin along with a number of corpses, and was doomed to linger out life beside them. The sea boat against the vessel with a noise like that of ar- tillery, and the crashing of the bul- warks, driven in by its violence, gave startling proof of the danger that threatened us. Having several times been dashed against the cabin walls by the violent pitching of the ship, I gi‘opcd for my bed, and lay down in it, and, notwithstanding the horrors that surrounded mo, gradually dropped asleep. When 1 waked ] perceived, by the sunbeams that shone through the skylight, that the morning Was for advanced. The ship rolled vios lcntly at intervals, but the noise of winds and Waves had nearly altogcs thei‘ ceased. I got up hastily. and almost dreaded to look around, lest I should find my worst anticipations Concerning my companions too fa- tally realized. (To be concluded in our next.)

Good taste is a just appreciation of the re- lationship and capable effects 0f 0r- dinai'y, and extraordinary firings; and no man can have it unless he is in the habit of considering his own position, and planing,r his own actions with coolness and accuracy. _.__....___ __~__._...»_....,,__ Charlt‘s ll. having asked at :1 leaves L110“! one of his envoys, lately sent to a lhalf clt'llixctl country, had fcairctl, was in- take thil‘tl, said his l\tlajesty, how I 'lllcmi and ‘1 3mm many 11001“ you,’ continuod the further; ‘you that we had got entangled with uii~ “ml 1‘ WW 2“““553‘1” “253‘”; .v '..~ .4.‘.»»,- '-_ MKWfiu, ,;_. 5.1.,” 3,1,? .\>, .51.; ,_ . ya»..- «'x. . .S. THE DEACO’N’S W IG. A conscientious Scotch Deacon, who had just mounted a wig, was i'i'iuch troubled in his mind because a clock-dial had been put on the new meeting house just built by his parish. Going to theclergyman as he mounta ed the pulpit he thus accosted him: “Doctor, if you please, I wish to speak to you.’ ‘ Well, Duncan,’ says the venera able Doctor, ‘can you not wait till after worship ?’ ‘ No, Doctor, I must speak to you now, for it is a matter upon my consolence.’ ‘ Oh, since it is a matter of con- science, tell me what. it is; but be brief, Duncan time passes.’ ‘ The matter is this, Doctor. You see the Cluck on the face of the new church as ye come in? Well, there isgno clock really there, nothing but the face of a clock. There is no truth in it, but only once in the twelve hours. Now, it is, in my mind, very wrong, and quite against my conscience, that there should in. a lie in the face of the house of the Lord.’ ‘Duncan, I will consider the point. But I am glad to see you looking so well; you are not yous-,2 now; I remember you for mom years; and what a fine head of has: you have still.’ ‘ Eh, Doctor, you are jokingnora, its long since 1 had any hair.’ ‘Eh, Duncan, Duncan, have _\«“»'-:i come into the " 3 house of the Lou: with a lie upon y or headl’ The Deacon was ‘struck all oi ;a heap,’ as the saying is, and if»: Doctor heard no more of the hr.- or. the face of the clock. FUTURE ITOUSICKBEPERS.â€"-VVG sometimes catch ourselves wander- ing how many of the young ladies whom we meet with are to perform the part of housekeepers, when the young men who now eye them so admii‘ingly, have persuaded them to become their wives! \Ve listen to those young ladies of whom we speak, and hear them not only ack- nowledging, but boasting of their ignorance of all household duties, as if nothing would so lower them in the estimation ofthcii' friends, as the confession ofan ability to bake bread and pies, or cook a piece of meat, or a disposition to engage in any useful employment. Speaking from our own youthful recollections we are free to say that the taper fingers and 1in hands are very pretty to look at with a youngr man‘s eyes, and someâ€" times we have known the artless innocmrce of a young Miss to ap- pear rather interesting than otherâ€" wise. But We have lived long enough to learn that life is full of rugged experience, and that the most loving= romantic and delicate people, must live on cooked or other- wise prepared f‘oorl, and in homes kept clean and tidy by industerious hands. And for all the practical purposes of married life, it is gens orally found that for a husband to sit and gaze at a wife’s taper fingers and 1in hands, or for a wife to sit and be looked at, and admired, does not make the pot boil, or put the smallest piece of food therein. CONFIDENCE.â€"â€"0DC of the great evils of our present state of society, and one which We hope the pros gross of race towards perfection will remedy, is the Egoncral selfish- ness of mankind, and thei conscs qucnt general suSpicion. it may be regarded as a fixed principle of ethice, that a selfish man will be one who regards all his follows as swindlers and villains, and regulates all his intercourse with them by “ bond and mortgage,” and one who was never known to perform an act of mercy or benevolence, for the beauty and the goodness ofthc act itself. This sentiment, in fact, is but too often manifested by persons who profess to be Christians and philanthropists, and the evils which are brought on all kinds of business by want of confidence, are many. Until there shall be more for the ii‘i-’ tcrcsts of'othcrs, we shall fall, as a people to do justice to ourselves or them. Even if a few men have the heart to abuse the confidence reposs posed in them, the fact in itself does not warrant any one in loosing faith in man kind; for however an 00-” casioiial villain may deceive and betray, the great heart of the com-‘ munity is always honest and worthy as Well as just in its decision. CALMLY TOI.D.â€"â€"~â€" The editor of the llainbridge Georgian has been assaulted in , his sanctum by a young lawyer, and in re- fci'criCc to what: occurred the editor ‘Silyt‘i; coolly : “I’le madly hit us on the head will; a closed knife or something else closed iii his band. \Ve happened to have one Co’lt near at hand, which we got, and as soon as we could extricate oursclf, we accidentally pulled the trigger some fodr or five times,- putting one ball through his coat and shirt sleeves between his arm and body , another between his legs, piercing,r his coat tailjust between the skirt and waist; and a third somewhere else.
