that voyage which may be well worth rela-

Island of Nantucket who can vouch for its
authenticity. . j _
Early one pleasant morning, while cruiz-

-ilucation; he had a good stock of books.
\l'l‘llt3lt he libt-rally loaned to the crew, mil
in return would borrow such as they chanc-
til to have. Everything was agreeable and
illmisaiit; we lived together as happily as if
of one family. Many of our crew formed
lll(.'lYlS- Ives into a musical band. which, after
::‘timc, altnost cquallt-d the "Dt‘(ll)1ti1 Pic-

fad a ‘fore and after’ on the main deck,
tltuch to the €l'tj0_VlIlt*nt of the captain, who
spid it would drive the scurvy out our bout-s.
‘Ve were in short, all united, and ifour ship
\,"as not fillt-d with sperm oil, it was the
fault of neither ofiiccr nor crew,
Ne-arly forty initiates’ had now elapsed
iintfe the whale (llS:tppt‘.'1l't‘(.i, and every eye
gins strains~d_ in looking for him.
There "she blows, shouted a dozen voices
at once. -
I see him my lads, said Capt. Hussey.
There he is, Mr. Fisher, about a mile off
we will lay dot‘-.n and lower away.
The boats were iniinerliatcly lowered from
the davits into the water, and every man
\V.=lS soon in his respective place.
Use your paddlcs instead ofoars; do you
hear in the Olll€‘l‘ boats? exclaimed the cap-
tain at the top of his voice.
Aye, aye, sir, was the replv.
Ibelongcd to his bent and had the honor
ofstecring. It was soon pei'ce[-tible that our
boat was nearest to the whale; and the other
boats consequently crascd paddling, so as
not to frighten the uhalc, which we were
rapidly approaching.
Dick, said the Captain to me, don’t miss
l'lllli,'f0l‘ he is an eighty barrel whale.
Never fear, sir, I replied, taking the head
iron (i. e. harpoon) in my hand. and eyeing
the huge whole as he slowly proceeded
through the water, scarcely burying his
hump.
We were now almost within dart, when
the Captain whispered to the men to seize
the oirs and ptill. In an instant we were
along side.
Give it to him Dick, roared the Captain.
Bang, went one iron : dong went the other.
Stain all—-stain all—starn, you scamps.
starn! cried our elated captain, after having
seen the second iron buried to the hitches in
the back ofthe whale.
Come aft here, my boy.
Aye, aye. sir, I replied, going aft, and
seizing the line which was around the log-
gerhead in the stern of the boat. The Cap-
iriin went forward preparing to use the dead-,
ly lance, as the other two boats cameup with
the intention ofnlso fast--ning. The \vhalt=,l
which a few moments before was so quiet,
now appeared like an enraged bullock; his
flukcs, e. tail) was often in the air, every
joint of which was cracking, makinga sound
{similar to the snapping of a hundred whips ;
land then his head would appear several feet;
‘out ofthe water, which, together with hisf,
formidable jaws and frightful teeth, plainlyl
‘showed his strength, what was in his potveri
lto do. The second mate's boat approached}
{the whale, and a young man by the name‘
jof Hale was standing up ready to dart the
Eirons, but the whale caught sight ofthe boat,
and instantly made for it with his mouth
lopcned. Yet Hale was nothing d‘rlUl’)l.t‘(I,
{but darted the irons, one after the other antl
‘then jumped overboard. It wars all that
‘saved him. for the jaw of the whale came
‘down upon the very spot where he had
stood, and with so much power that tlzelzead
o the boat was bitten ofl. He swam to our
bjdat evidently grateful for having escaped.——
Mr. Fisher now .pulled up.
, Be careful how you go on that whale
-exclaimed the captain, much chagrined at
the catastrophe which he had just witnessed.
The mate however; was not allowed to
approach his whaleship, for be politely gave
the boat a gentle cut with his flukes, which
knocked the bottom in, and sent the crew
some rods from the boat in company with
sundry whaling gear, such as harpoons.

and striking it at the same time with his

ance and fL‘Ii overboard, dirccllr; into z/re

head out of the water, showing the young
man firmly in his monili, as if in mock:-ry
of all our attempts to capture him; he then
dis:ip_pt=ared with his victiin.
How long the whale was out of sight I
cannot tell. In a few seconds, however,
Halt-’s but came up and floatt-tl upon the
surface; and about a minute after I-I-ale him-
self appeared.
Pull me in for God’s sake, he exclaimed,
I have been in the whalc’s _j't\V.
VVe soon had hitn in the boat; his scalp
was hanging by a portion of the skin, at the
back of his head. It was replaced, and a
l]ttntll(t‘l‘Clllr‘f bound round to keep it in the
right position. For sotne minutes he could
not spe-rtk; but after a time he informed us
he was not injured elsewhere. ,
\V'liei'e's the whale ? inquirctl the Captain.
D--n the \\l]Il€,I.t\lt‘llOSl.t3XCli1l(ll€tl.
There he is sir, answeredone of the men
pointing out the whale.
Vi-‘ell, haul line, we will haul up close to
him and then cut, for Hale must be iiijurcd
more seriously than perhaps we are aware
of.
We were accortlingly hauling up, u hen
the \\'llille turncd flakes and disappeared.
Cut. line, it is fully to hold on any longer,
said the Captain.
The line was cul,and we-were soon along
.~itlt» ship. Hale \\'ttS boi~tcd up in the boat,
and cirricd into the cabin, where he was
cximincd by the Captain and tnyst-lf. On
romoving a portion of his clothes. sevt-ral
frigliiful wounds were di;~covered. one of
which, in the lower extremity of his body
was so large that a portion of the intrstines
were hanging out. There were others also
upon his thighs. Those were all sewed up,
and aft--i‘ being properly bandaged, he was
[)letCt'(I in one of the cabin berths. The
.~l.0Vt’tl boats were picked tip; others immedi
ately rigged,and put in ordcr,while'mcn were
St‘nl. to the mast ht-ads (with what hearts I
won’t pretend to say) to look after the whole
that had caused us so much trouble.
Pretty hotv-Jo-you—do, said the Captain to
ilie mate, who till now had been very busy
in making the changes in the bolt. Twb
boats knocked in pieces—craft of various
kinds lost-—and what is ten times worse, one
of the boat steerers nearly killed—pretty
morning's work, I declare. I want to see
that whale once more, if it is only to ask him
how he feels with those irons in his back.
Mr. Fisher expressed the same sentiments
adding he had never witnessed such hard
luck. What bccaine of the whole, I never
lvarnt. If he was afterwards ever seen from
the mast head, no one announced the fact.-
Aftcr a few days the carpenter had repaired
the boats, and some of the crew had partially
forgotten the occurrt‘-nce. But not so with
poor Hale, he was obliged to remain below
some weeks before he was enabled to go in
the boat again. On being questioned by
some one, what his thoughts were in the
\Vi'liilt.’1S jaw, he replied he thought "the
whale mig/it make about eig/try barrels of
oil, -I will merely add that he is now mate
of a whale ship. Mr. Fisher now coin-
mandsthe Napoleon, and Mr. Errittions the
Cyrus, both belonging to Nantucket. Capt.
Hussey is in the ship Jztrnes Maury. Of Sa-
lem.
Ma.rria_ge Rat/ter I/tan Law.—A certain
widow lady placed her child at nurse in one
of the fnunclling hospitals of Germany, and
intending to leave it there until it should be
old cnough to begin rec~ iving an education,
paid the stipend for four years. About the
same time a gentleiiian placed his child in
be same institution, anti it was consigned
to the same nurse. The gentleman then
made a voyage to South America, where he
had sotnc bosiners of importance thatneetletl
his attention. At the end of the four years
the lady returned to take away her child;
and by a somewhat singular coincidence, the
gentleman arrived at the same time, with the
same object. But in the. interim one of the
children had died and the nurse could
not declare positively whether it was that of
the widow or the other; the widow claimed
the survivor as her own; the gentleman in-
sisted as strongly that his was the living
child. The dispute waxed Worm. and 8
resort to the legal tribunals was threatened
on either Side, when a worthy clergyman
interposed and with such effect that the dis-
putints soon agreed to consolidate their
claims to the surviving child by marriage.
So says a French paper.—-Com. Adv-
Water for Boston.—-The Common Coun-
hit of Boston on Thursday passed an order
providing for the appointment of three Coin-
missioners to report with as little delay as
possible, on the best mode and expense of
bringing the water of Lang Pond true the
city. The pond igsi ated in Natick, 20
miles from the city, iS‘l23 feet 3b0V9
high water mark. I; is said to contain an
adequate supply foP250.000 inhabitants.

the great pyramid in Egypt, one hundred
rind torty feet higher than St. Paul’s in Lon-
don. and three or four times higher than the
old South Church in Boston. The astro-
nomical clock stands in the inside, in one
corner of it, and is a most imposing and bean-
tiful edifice. Five or six hundred people
visit it every day at 12 o’clock, when it per-
forms some extraordinary feats, which I
shall mcntion presently, and several millions
in the course of the year. There have been
two or three clocks in the some place, upon
the model of which the presentone is formed,
but it is almost a new one, and was construct-
ed by a mechanic whose natue was Schwil-
gue, in 1838, to whom a nocturnal fete or
festival was given by his fellow citizens on
the occasion of its completion.
To give you SOlne idea of the size of this
C‘<_Jt“t. I will compare it with sortie other
things with which you are familiar, instead
ofsaying that it is so many feet high, and so
many fr-ct witle, ac. \Vell then, you re.
member the size ofthe Post Ofiice in VVash-
tngton street. It is as high as that, and a-
‘30“‘ as “"49. or at least ntarly so. Its top
would reach to the very summit ofour meet-
ing house and its front would go about half
across the front ofthe mteting house. On
the top of it is it figure ofthe prophet Isaih,
abcut as large as life; on its two sides are ti.
couple of stairs to go tip into it. Its front is
beautifully painted, and has places upon
which the hours of the day, the days of the
week, the revolutions of the stars, the mo-
tions ofthe sun in the ecliptic, the days of
the month, the seasons of the yrar, the pha-
ses of the sun and tiioon, and a great rtiany
other things are indicated. Here also, in
iiicht-s prepared for them, are movable ima-
ges ofthe Savior and his twelve apostles:
Dath and Time with his Scythe; the four
ages of human life, and several other forms
which I cannot mention.
To give you a little further idea of its
magnitude, let me say that there are means
of going inside of it, and that some ten or {if-
ten persons. perhaps more might stand to-
gether in its very heart and examine the
machinery. Mr, Neale, two other gentle-
men and myself, with the conductor, went
into it and spent about an hour there‘ VVe
went first into a lower, then into a higher,
iind then still higher‘ apartment of it, and
saw the various parts of the machinery. con-
sisting lshoulcl think, of more than a thou-
sand pieccs splendidly’ polished, and all de-
pendent for the harmonious action upon the
short, thick brass pendulum which swings
in the center.
But I must tell you what this clock does.
It not only points out the hours and the days
the times and the seasons, but the revolutions
of the stars, the solar and lunar equations,
the conjunctions and eclipses of the heavenly
bodies,'t.heir positions at any given time, and
various changes through which they pass for
thousands of years. It points out apparent
time, mean, or real time, and ecclesiastical
time. On its face you see the motion ofthe
stars, ofthe sun and planets, of the moon and
her satellites. Two little cherubs, who sit,
one on one side, the other on the other,strike
the quarters of the hour—Death strikes the
hour with a mat‘e—-while four figures pass
and repass before hitn, representing the va-
rious stages ofhuman life. At 12 o’clock
every day, when Death strikes 12 the apos-
tles, who are represented each with the
badge of his martyrdom, come out from the
clock and pass before the image of ilie Sa-
viour, bowing as they pass, and receiving his
benediction, which he gives with a move-
ment ofthe hand. VVhen the Apostle Peter
makes his appearance a gilded cock, which
is perched on one side of clock, flaps his
wings, raises his head, and crows so long
and so loud as to make the whole Cathedral
ring again. This he repeats three times in
memorial of the cock that crowedthree times
before the fall cf Peter, during the crucifix-
ion ofour Savior. Of course the ccclr makes
no further noise or motion till the next day
at l2 o'clock when he repeats the same loud
and startling crow, flapping his wings and
raising his head.
The ]iIormon District of Illinois.---I-loge

District of Illinois, must be considered the
Representative of the Mormons. Hancock

situated, gave Huge a majority of I357. In
the remainder ofthe District. according to
the Gelena Gazette, the VVbig candidate,
Sweet, had a majority of 473. The Mor-
mons were told (falsely) that Sweet was their
bitterest enemy, and had endeavored to justi-

The locofoco papers, in the last agonies of
dissolving nature, urged on to desperation.
are busily engaged in reviving the stale and
often refuted slander, about Mr. Clay and
John Q. Adams. Ifthey can stuffsuch lies
as these down the throats of their followers.

dened consciences which Polkats are capa-
ble of possessing. What falsehood will they
next revive to satisfy their malice and hatred.
