Early on the morning of the 14:5 of Jun
we left Catherine slip on the steam-tug Jacob”
Bell. for the ship .Minnesota, which had _al-"
ready dropped down the stream in feadinesi
for sea. At about 11 A. M., having muild
fast, the steamer started with her preciouli‘
freight to tow us out into the “dark briiiyi
ocean.” About 3 P. M. werwefe fairly onl-
side the Hook, and after ‘bidding the‘Cap't.‘
and Pilot of the steamer a “ good-bye," our
Captain ordered the hawsers to be cast 03;‘
audio an instant the sail of our noble ship‘-
caught the breeze and dashed away likg a"
bird released from its cage. The shores of
New Jersey and Long island now began to
recede in the hazy distance, and just as tho"
su'n.shovved himself in his fleecy folds and.-
Sunlf lmo the west, its last lingering bellnl
playing bo-peep with the land and the wife;
—all disappeared, and we were now, for the
first time in our lives, out upon the dark ex.
pause of ocean, far from the sight of land!
No one who has not experienced it can ‘con-
far as the wearied eye can stretch, nought but
one infiniiude of waters greets the vision;
seemingly youjare in anew world, hemmed
round by a horizon of limitless blue, with all ‘
the twinkling hosts of heaven above, and
their sparkling counterparts mirrored forth
in mimic glory beneath :
“ How humbling to one with a heart and a sofil,
To look on thy greatness and list to its roll; '
To think that. the heart in cold ashes shall be,
\V bile the voice of Eternity rises from then!
Yes, thou art Almighty, Eternal, sublime-
U nweakened, unwasted—twin brotherof'l‘imo!
Fleets, tempests, noi' nations thy glory can bow;
As the stars first beheld thee, still chainloll
art than i ’
But hold ! when thy surges no longer shall roll,
And that fii-maments' length is drawn back liko
a scroll,
Then—-then shall the spirit that sighs by
thee now.
Be more _might.y--more lasting—moro chninloll
than thou!”
At this juncture, ihe sublime grandeur of
the prospect before us and the poetic inspira-
tions which came‘swelling up in our bosom, '‘
were destined to give place to still deeper
emotions! In other words, although‘ not q
cloud veiled the canopy of heaven, we felt
positive indications that a storm was rising
in our breast which no human power could
avert. Feeling the utter hopelessness of any
efforts to control the insurieciionary move-
ments going on within us, we philosophically
hung ourself over the gangway, and with ,3
kind word from the Captain not to resist tho
“strivings of the spirit,” we belched forth,
and made a “clean breast of ii,” to old Nap.
time. It is quite hard to be compelled to do-
liver over even a little change to the inexora-
ble demands ofa highvvayman,but to be thus
compelled to eject a good dinner, without
even time between the paroxysms, to catch ‘
your breath, much less to interpose a word .
of remonsirancc, is doubly hard. In short,
we were aufully sea-sick, for the first time in
our life, and those who have been similarly
affected, know all its dizzy, logy, dropsical ,
heaviness of the head——iis indescribable, un- A
uuerable nausea, and its insufferable sensa-
iions of collapse and goneness I Such were
our feelings, but what our loo/cs indicated,
we can but faintly imagine._ Reader, did
you ever see a puny, measly kitten, kicking t
and gasping in the sun, "after a half hour's
struggle in the swill barrel. Ora worsted
game cock, minus feathers, after standing’
back to a searching uofleaster? If so, per-
haps,.if possessed with a‘ keen imagination,
you can catch a faint glimpse how a fellow
looks? But then there is nothing like the

As it peeped above the eastern horizon and‘

which like a mirror, threw back its golden
tints, upon iheisnovvy wcfis of cloud, which .
