In tho lifcmof a sailor lately published,
we liavc the following narrative of a
m'~3ck oil‘ l:lnvnun, which we shall only
pzclhco by<vlisci'viiigtliiit the crew had
been forcr.-d to take to the boat, which was
upset.-—“Evcn in this moment of peril,
the discipline of the navy assumed its
commniaud. At the order from the
lieutenant for the men on the keel to re-
linquisli_t_heir position, they instantly o.-
bcycrl, tire-boat was Earned over, and
once more the expedient was tried but
quite in vain ; for no sooner line‘. the two
men begun to bail with a couple of hats,
and the softy of the crew to appear with-
in the bounds of probability, when one

hiazi declared he saw the fin of~a slinrlt.
No language can convey the panic which
1-cizctl the strongest scuirian ;, fl shark is
at all times an object ofh_orror to a sai-
lor; and those who have seen the des-
tructive jaw of those vorrtcious fish, and
their immense and almostincredible pow-
cr———thcir love of blood, and their bold
daring to obtain it~—alonc can form an
idea of the seiisalioiis produced to a
swimmer by the cry ofa“sharkl 8 Sllt1l'i‘.l”
F.t'ei'_v man iicw striiggled to obtain :1 ino-
meni.‘s safety. All discipline was una-
vailing, the boat again turned keel up :
one man only gained his security to be
pushed from
their strength began to fail from long
continued exertion. As however, the
enemy so much dreaded did not make
its appearance, Smith once more urged
them to endeavor to save themselves by
the only means left, that of the boat;
and he desired those who held on by the
gun hole, to keep splashing in the water
with th—‘ir legs, in order to frighten the
monster at which they were so alarmed.
Once more had hope began to dawn;
the boat was clear to her thwarts, and
the man were in her at hard work ; a
little for-bearaiicc and a little obedience
and they were safe. At this moment
when those in the water urged their mess-
mat-as in the boat to continue bailing
‘zvi-:li uiircmitted eizertion, a noise was
heard close, to them, and about fifteen
sharks came right in amongst them.-
The panic was ten times more dreadful
li3t1tii)CfOl‘8_; the boat again was upset
by the simultaneous endeavor to escape
the danger, and the twenty-two sailors
were again devoted to destruction. At
first the sharks did not seem inclined to
seize their prey, but swam in amongst
the men playing in the’ Water, sometimes
about and rubbingngainst their victims.
This was of short duration-a loud
shriek from one of the men announced
his sudden pain ; 9. sliark had seized him
by the leg, and severed it entirely from
the body. No sooner had the blood
been tested than thelong dreaded attack
took place. another and another and an-
other shriek proclaimed the loss oflimbs;
some were torn from the boat; to which
they vainly endeavored to cling--some
it was supposed, sunk from fear a-
lonc—all were in dreadful peril.-
Mr.Smith even now, when of all horrible
deaths the most horrible seemed to await
him gave his orders with clcarucss and
coolness ; and to the everl:-isting honor of
the poor departed crew be it known they
were obcycd,agairi the boat was righted,
and again two men where in her. Ii.-
credible as it may appear, still however,
it ts true, that the voice oftlic officer was
heard amidst the danger; &.the survivors
act-.ially,as before, clung to the gunwale,
and kept the boat upright. Mr. Smith
himself held by the stern, and cheered
and applauded his men, The sharks
had tasted the blood, and were not to
be driven from their feast ; inouc short
moment, when Mr. Smith ceased splash-
ing, as he looked into the boat to watch
the progress, a shark seized both his legs,
and hit them olfjust above the knees.—
Human nature was not strong enough to
bear the immense pain without a groan ;
but Smith endeavored to conceal the mis-
fortune ; nature true to herself, resisted
the endeavor, and the groan was deep
and audible. The crew had long res-
pected their gallant commander; they
knew his worth and courage ; on hearing
him express his pain,‘ and, seeing him
relinquish his hold to sink, two of them
grasped their dying ofiicer, and placed
.him.in the stern sheets. Even now, in
almost inewpportable agony, that gallant
fellow forgot his own xufi'crie3, and

[g;t'oat,‘

it by others: and thus,

-ed them. But the endeavor ofsrnne of
the men to get into the boat gave her a
heel on one sidi;-; the men who were
supporting‘ poor Smith rclinquislicd him
for ti iiiuiiient, and he rolled m'(-.i'br>;:i'd
and was drowucil. His last liitbliiip; cry
was soon lost fllttitlzii the sliricks of his
‘fui‘mci" companious— he sunk to rise
no inor:*.—-1‘-.t .. eight o’clocl«: in the
cveiiizigtlia l‘v‘l;1;{pit5 *.vas'upsct it was cal-
culated by the two survivors, that their
coinpaiiionshad all died by nine. The

and they with gallant licnrts l‘FST)l\"v3tl to
profit by the Pl'£:{'.l0iiSllll’l-.‘,lt‘l order to save
tlieinselves they i'iglited the boat, and
one getting over the bows, and the other
over the stern, they found theinsizivcs,
ultliougli iioarly exlimistcd _','t$ alive, and
in comparative security ; they began the
work of bailing, and soon lightened the
boat sitfficiently not to be easily u,{:se.-t,
when both sat down to rest. The return
of the sharks was too signal for their re-
turn to labor. The voracious monsters

BY ar..\'i.tui:.* ru:.:<i-:Li>:.

The desire of lieippiiiess in general is
so natural to us, that all the world are
in pursuit of it, all have this one end
in view tlioiigli they take such, dalfcrciit
methods to attain it, and are so niacin
divided in their notions ofit.

Evil as evil can never be chosen: and
tliougli evil is often the effect of our own
choice, yet we nevi-r desire it, butuiider
ltlic :ippc:‘.i'ance of on iniiiiugiiinry good.

Many tliiii,r;'5..'..vo indulge o'.ir.<elvcs in

may be considered by us evils, and yet be
‘desirable; but tlioii they are only consid-
ered as evils in tncir effects and conse-
'qucncos, not 21»: evils at present, and at-
tended with immediate misery.
lesson represents things to us not on-
ly as they are present, but as they are in
nature and tendency; passion only regards
them in their former liglit; v.'li-cii this
governs us, we are icgarillcss of the fu-
ture,:iud are only affected with the prcseiit.

It is impossible ever to enjoy ourselves
rightly, if our conduct be not such as to
preserve the harmony, and order ofour
faculties and the oi'i_;_:i:ial frame and con-
stitution ofour minds; all true happi-
ness, as all that is truly beautiful, can
only result from order.

Vihilst there is a conflict between two
principles ofpassion and reason, we must
he miserable in proportion to the struggle;
and when the victory is gained, and rea-
son so for subdued, as seldom to trouble
us with its rciuostrances, the happiness of
our rational nature, but the happiness
only oftlie inferior and sensual part of us
and consequetly a very low and imper-
fect happiness, to what the other would
have afforded us. "

If we reflect on any one passion and
disposition of the mind, abstract from
virtue. we shall soon see the disconnec-
tion between that and true solid happi-
ness. It is of the very essence, for iii-
stance, of envy, to be ueasy and disqui-
eted. Pride meets with provocntions and
disturbances upon almost every occa-
sion. Covetousness is ever attended
with solicitude and anxiety. Ambition
has its disappointments to sour us, but
never the good fortune to satisfy us; its
appetite grows the kccner by indulgence,
and all we can gratify it with at present,
serves but the more to inflame our insa-
tiable desirc. _

The passions, by being to much con-
versant vvith earthly objects, can never fix
in us a proper composure and acquies-
cence of mind. Nothing but an ll1£llf‘ft.‘l'-
once to the things of this world, an en-
tire submission to the will of Providence
here, and a well grounded expectation of
happiness hereafter, can give a true sat-
isfactory enjoyment of ourselves. Virtue
is the best guard against many unavoid-
able evils incident to us; nothing better
alleviates the weight of the efilictions, or
gives a truer relish oftbc blessings ofliu-
man life. _

VVlmt is without us has not the least
connexion with happiness, only so far as
the preservation of our lives and health
depends upon it. Health of body,
though so for necessary that we cannot
be perfectly happy without it, is not sulfi-
ciciit to make us happy of itself. Hap-
piness springs immediately from the
mind; health is but to be considered as
a candidate or circumstance, without
which this happiness cannot be tasted
pure and unabated.

Virtue is the best preservative of health
as it picscribcs temp_ci'aiice, and such a
regulation of our passions as is most con
ducive to the well being of the animpl
economy; so that it is, at the some time,
the only true happiness ufthe mind, and
the best means of preserving the health
o_fthe body.

If our desires are to the things of this
World, they are never to be satisfied; if
our great view is upon those of the next,
the expect.ati0n_ef them is an infinitely
higher satisfaction than the enjoyment
of those ofthc present.

There is no happiness then but in a
virtuous and self-approving conduct; un-
less our actions will bear the test of our
sober judgment, and re-flections upon
them, they are not the actions, and con-
sequently not the happiness, ofa ration-

ifound tlicinsclvcs free ft‘:'Illl their lllsliilt’.-_

“'l‘ialto \\ but comes thou wilt."

Tlu: substance ol"tl=.e following is .,no

fifilttll. In ii neigliboriag village whose,
inliabitants, like the good people of Ath-
one, where much given to “either tall or
hear some new tliing,” lived Squire
l’. a lizcctioiis, good natured sort of ii
hotly, wlmso jokes are even yet a matter
of Village Rccorcl, and have been re-told
througli various editions, from folio dusvu
. to diiodccimo. .
l Aiiiit I izzy was D:-neon Snipe's ivil'e’s
sister-~ a maiden lady of about fii'ly--
she went to ‘all the ineetiiig-i—-—kcpt n
in-.,r_»,'iil2-.r account of every birth, death
and m;'.rriage,witli their (lz1i8S,Clt)CtOl‘t:‘(l:tll
the bub‘.~u..~, and knew cvery'_1/arb in the
iicigliborhood—-—sliowcd all the young
married womeii how to make soap, and-
when they hrid bad luck, made every
child in the house set yo.-‘ass legged until
the luck changed.

I

In line, she was 21.
kind ofvillage fuctoti.irii_-—-apcnt lzertiine
in going from house to house, grinding
out a grist ofslztudcr to each, as occasion
required, but always concluded with
“the way of tl'illlS§{t‘C2:30l'S is hard ;”
“poor Firs. A. or B. (as the case was)
I pity her from the bottoni of my lieeirt,”
orsome such very soaffiing reduction.-—
Lizzy was always ‘very foiid of asking
strangcis and others. without regard to
time or place, “the state of their minds ;
how they enjoyed their “mind,” c‘S:.c.——
These questions were generally followed
by a string of scandal, which was calcu-
lated to destroy the peace and liappinesss
ofsome of her best neighbors and friends;
but she. like other iiarratois of this kind,
considered such intcllcctusil murder as
either cstnblisliiiig her own fair reputa-
totion, or as the only mode of ei‘tl{5l'{:1lll-
in:_; the village, and thereby rendering her
society agrecziblc.

Ono warm summer’: afternoon, as tho
Sqi:ii'e W-U5 sitting near his office door,
smoking; his pipe, Aunt Lizzy was pas-
sing by it with great speed, rtiinimititig
on the news of tliewlny, when the Squire
bi'()tt;_{ht her suddenly to, as the sailors
say, by “what's your hurry Aunt Lizzy i
walk in.”- The old lady,‘ -who never
wanted a second invitatioii, went into
the office, anal the following diziliigiic
soon commenced.

‘_“Wcll, Squire P. l have been thinking
this forenoou what an useful man you
iniglit be if you'd only leave off your
light conversations, as the good book
says, and become 21 serious ‘man--you
might be an ornament to both church
and state, as our minister says”

“Why as to that, Aunt Lizzy, a cher-
fulcouutenaiicc I consider as the best
index ofa greatful lieart, and you know
what the Bible says on that sub_ji-ct—-
“‘sVlien ye fast, be not as the fig/pocrites
ofo sad countenance; but uunoiut thy
head and wash t/i_2/face (Aunt Lizzy be-
gun to fool for her pocket handkerchief,
for she was in taker of snuff) that thou
appear NOT unto man to fast.”

"Now, there Squire—tlI:1t's just what
Itold you-—-see how you have the scrip-
tcr at your tongue's end ; what on use-
ful man you might be in our chuch,’if
you’d only be a door as well as a heater
of the word.”

“As to that, Aunt Lizzy, I don’t see
that you “professors,” as you call them,
are a whit better than I am, in private.
I respect a sincere profession as much as
any man ; but I know enough of one of
your church, whom you think a great
deal of, to know that she is no better than
shcskould be.’

At tliescinuendoes, aunt Lizzy’s little
black eyes began to twinkle; she sat
down beside tbeSquire, in order to speak
in a lower tone—-spread her handker-
chief over her lap, and began to tap the
cover of her snuff box in true style, and
all things being in readiness for a regu-
lar seigc “scaiidaium niagnatum,” she
commenced lire-

“Now, Squire, I want to know what
you mean by one of ouricliurchl I
know who you mean—the trollop——I
didn’t like so many curls about her head,
when she told her experience.”

The'Squirc finding curiosity was
putting his boots on, bad no occasion to
add spurs to the heels, for the old lady
had one in her head that was worth
both of them. Accordingly he had no
peace until he consented to explain
what he meant by the expression “in
pr:':mte”-— this Was a dear word with aunt
Lizzy.

“Now, mint Lizzy, will you take a

what I am about to tell you to a living
being, and that you will keep it while
you live as a most inviolable secret.”

“Yes, Squire, I declare I won't never
tell nobody nothing about it as long as I
breathe the breath of life; and I’ll take
a Bible oath on it; there, sartin as I live,
Squire, before you or any other magistcr
in the whole country.” '

“VVell then, you know when I went up
to Boston a year ago.”

“Yes, yes, Squire and I know who
went with you too — Susey B. and Dolly
T. and her sister Prudence.”

“Never mind who went with me, aunt
Lizzy; there was a whole lot of passen-
gers—-But, but”-— ‘ ~

 “None of your buts, Squir’e—-out with
it__if folks will act so.—a trollop”_. .

“But, aunt Lizzy, . I'm afraid you’ll
bring me into the scrape”...

“I've told you over and over ngain,that
nobody never shall know nothing about
it and your wife knows I a'nt leaky.”

“My wife! I would’ut have her know
;what I was‘ going to my for the world-

,al being.

why, mat» Irl7._7.’j", if she should know it"-—

Bible outb, you will never communicate .

“Well, dou’t be arm-ta, Squire, mm.
for all, I’ll take my oath that no living

..ci-ittur chant never as long as I live, know

a lisp oii’t."_.. '

“ Veil, tlien_if you must ltnotv it--
I slept with. one of the likelicst of ‘your
church members nearly half the way
up i l l” ’ ‘

Aunt Lizzy drew in a long breath-
shut up her siiufl‘ box, and put it in her
pocket, muttering to licrsclf,-—

“The lilaclitzst of our cliurch mem-
bers! I tlioiiglitit was Susey B.._.likc-
liest l-—-this comes ofboing‘ fluttered--a
trollop. ‘Well, one thing I knovr-—“tlic
way oftlie traiisgressor is hard ;” but_I
hope you’ll never tell no body oii’t,Squirc;
forsartiuus the world, if sich a thing
should be known, our church would be
scuttcred iiliroad, like sheep without a
sliephc-rd.”

In a few moments aunt Lizzy took her
departure, giving the Squire anotlier cau-
tion and 23. sly wink, as she said good by
-—-let me alone for a secret.

‘It was not many days before Squire P.
»re-ccived it very polite note from Parson
,G. requesting him to attend-a meeting of
-the church, and many of the parish, at
,the south Conference room, in order to
iscttle some diiiiculties with one of the
church iiiciiibcrs, who, in order to clear
up her character, requested Squire P. to
be present. _

The Parson, who was a very worthy
man, knew the frailty ofsoiiiii oftiic weak
sisters, asaiiiit Lizzy call’d them, and as
he was a particular friend of Squire P’s.
requested him in his note to say nothing
of it to his wife—-But the Squire took
the hint, and telling his wife there was :1
Parish rnectiiig, requested her to be ready
by ‘,3 o'clock, unrl he would call for her.

Acooi°diii;;‘ly‘ the hour ofmceting came
---the whole village flocked to the room
which could not hold half oftlicm; All
eyes were alternutrly on the Squire and
Susan ii.---Mrs. P stared, and Suscy
looked. as though she had been crying a
fortnight. The parson, with softenc-.l
tpiie, and in as delicate amnriuer as pos-
sible, stated the story about Susey 13.,
which lic‘obsei°ved was in every body"s,
month, and which he did not believe a
word of-—~and Squire I.).llclllg called on to
stand as a witi1ess——aftcr pnintingin live-
ly colours the evils ofslaiider,wi‘..li which
their village had been 1n_feet:~d, and par-
ticularly the church, called on aunt Liz-
zy in presence of the meeting, arid bx»-lbre
the church, to come out and inake ac-
knowledgement for violating a biblcoazbl
.-‘tum. Lizzy’s apology was, that she only
told De:i.Snipe’s wife. on’t——and she took
an oath, that oh:.- would’ni never tell no
body else on’I. llcacon Snipe-,'s wife had
it appears, sworn Roger Tootliakt-r's sis-
ter never to tell nobody oii't--and so it
went tlirougli the village.

The Squire then acknowledged before
the whole inceting, that he had as he told
niint Lizzy, slept with a church member,
half the way up to Boston, and that he
believed her to be one of tho‘ likcliest of
their iiiemlicrs, inasmuch as she never
would hear nor retail slander. All eyes
were now alternately on Susey B. and
Squire {"5 wife and Lizzy enjoyed ll
kind of diabolical triumph, which the
Squire no» sooner_ perceived than he fin-
ished his sentence by declaring that the
church member, to whom he alluded,
was‘ his own lawful wife .’ .' ! .

Aunt; Lizzy drew in her head under a,
huge bonnet, as a turtle does under his
shell, and marched away into one corner
ofthc room, like a dog that hadbeen kil-
ling sheep. The Squire as usual burst
out in a {it of laughter, from which his
wife, Susey B,.nnd even the paraon,could
not refrain from joining— and person G.
afterwards acknowledged that Squire P.
had given a dezith blow to scandal in the
village which all his preaching could not
have done.

PATIENT COURTSHIP.—-I knew a man
that went courting his sweetheart the dis
tance of three -miles every evening for
fourteen years, beside dogging her home
after church on Sunday afternoons; ma-
king above 15,000 miles. For the first
seven years he only stood and courted in,
the door porch; but for the remaining
period he ventured, (what a liberty after
zi soptennial attachment l) to hang his hat
on a pin in the passage and sit on the
kitchen settee. The wedding, a con-
summation devoutedly to be wished, was
solemnized when Robert and Hannah
were in their sear and yellow leaf.

 

A physician was called-to an Irishman,
and after examining his case,recommen-
(led an emetic. ‘An ametic is it you say
doctor '2' said the patient, ‘oh, that ’ll nev-
er do, I took one of those same in ould
Ireland but the devil a bit would it stay
down at all, at all.’

 

The following interresting question is
asked by acorrespoudent ofthe Newborn
(N. C.) Seutinal:

If a lady were lame in the right arm
and in the left leg-if she had but one
eye and squinted with that~—if she had
but two teeth in front and they were black
—if she had a bump behind, and to make
amends was perfectly flat‘ befoi'e—and
if she had a spitfire temper, and forty-
nine negroes with seventy-five thousand
dollars casl1—-how many suitors would
she have? ‘
