eggs and toast, .a grilled fowl, pickled

such a refection late at night might over-
tax the-stomach, it is usual to wash it
down with a tumbler of hot whiskey
puuch,a glass of cherry bounce, brandy
and water. a tumbler or two of chain
plgno, a liottleof ale, or something of
’ the sort. . I was a a little surprised to
see delicate ladies, who had clung to
their berths through the first two or
three days of ;the voyage, soon after take
their places at the evening table and
partake freely of ».the edibles and pota-
blosabovonamed. When they appear-
ed next day:—which was not till long
after breakfast had vanished--I inquired
anxiously the state of their health res-
pectively, and was assured that it had
been sensibly imp'i'oved by the rabbits
and punches aforesaid. - On the third
morning of my inquiries, however, ' I
was informed by a candid‘ male friend,
who had freely indulged with the rest,
that he had not slept well the last night
--"the rabbit kicked rue” was his way
of stating the fact and hinting the cause.
Others were not all so candid, but sup-
pers and grog were not half so popular
toward the end of the voyage as they
were-at the beginning.

I liked to bear the bell ring for war-
ship on - Sunday mornig, and all the
seamen not on duty thereupon march in
intheir clean, smarl blue jackets, prayer
book in hand, and take their seats in the
dining saloon. Soon the passengers al-
so were assembled, and" the Captain
read appropriately the morning Service
of the Church of England, a majority of
lhoneaomblage uniting in the responses
audibly, and nearly all, I presume, in
apirit. Then a Presbyterian clergyma n
who was one of the passengers, preached
an of band sermon with great energy
and zeal, commencing and closing with
prayer. I think a Liturgy nevep com-
mends itself more forcibly than on Such

that each denomination should provide
itself with complete forms of worship,
with a view to their use by gatherings
of lay members when no clergyman or
other extempore leader of worship may
be present.

-The next evening, we were favored
with a discourse by (I should rather say
through) a lady passenger, somewhat fa-
mous among -'Spiritualists” as a "medi-

I feel much obliged to her for so readily
and freely enabling us to listen to this
aort of teaching, but my gratitude by
no means. extends to the “spirits,” who
gave us a poor, rambling, incoherent
discourse, which seemed to me but a di-
lution of some of the poorest platitudes
of Jackson Davis, a weak sherry cob-
bler, compounded from "The Vestiges of
Creation,” " Nature’s Divine Revela-
tions," and the most ratified yet non lu-
minous fog of modern Pantheism.- -
Withal, the manner was that of our
very worst :rFourth of July orators-—

the diction full of forty eight pounders
mounted on very rickety pig pens. I
am sure the lady would have done much
better if she had exercised the spirits,
and just given us a discourse in her own
natural manner, and out of her own
riead._ 'If she ever consents to speak
egaia,I hope she will profit by this Sug-
gestion. ‘

I got one extra glimpse of sea life, by
Season» of the lack of a barber, on the
Asia in common with all the Cunarders.

‘ Unechooled in the art tonsorial, I had
gone nnshaved more thana week, and
met the remonstrances of friends with a
simple averment that what they urged
was impossible. In this I was at length
overlioardby a Seaman on deck, who in-
terpleaded that if I would follow him I
should be speedily and satisfactorily 1-en.
dered beardless. I could hardly back
out, soI followed him into the Sl.lip’s

bench without a back, whereupon a
rougher tar, with an instrument which
he seems to have mistaken for a razor.
' performed the operation required, ’ and
‘pocketed a quarter therefor without
grumbling. I did not offer him more,
for my face was smartingat the time;
but the sights and smells of that fore-
castle were richly worth adollar. \Vhen
we consider that there are in a space
not cubically larger than two average
prison cells, some thirty or forty men
live and sleep, without a crevice for ven-
tilation, and in a reek of foul efiuvia so
denser: to defy description, how can
‘we wonder that sailors often act like
busts-on shore if they are forced to
live so like beasts on water? Ah!
Messrs. merchant princes of New York,
before you waste one more dollar on at-
umpts to improve the moral and reli-
gious condition of seamen, be entreated
to secure them a chance to breathe pure
air on board your own vessels—to sleep
at least as healthfully and decently as
your hogs! Until you do this, preach-
ing to them, scattering tracts and Bi-
bles among them, and even building sai-
lors’ homes for them on land—-tliougli

9?’ The New York Independent
thinks that the practiceof audible assent
to and union in public prayer‘ might be
adopted without impropriety in Congre-
gational or Presbyterian churches,-'
There might be opportunity given in the
worship for the silent prayer, each one
for himself and friends, of all the con-
gregation. Isspecially might the Lord's
Prayer have a permanent and prominent
place in the public worship of every
church all joining in it. '

non. Francis Gillette.

This gentleman may well be gratified
with the mark he made while in the U.
S. Senate. Our exchanges from all
parts of the State contain notices, evi-
dently writreu from thejheart; sponta-
neous, unsought, unasked, undesired, but
all the more valvablc on that account.-
The Meridcn Transcript thus speaks of
him : A,

For ourselves, we feel an honest glow
of pride and satisfaction at his course.-—
When the mantle of the Slave power
fell sorrowfully over the Senate, and
when Northern sentiment, as embodied
in its representatives, was awed into
comparative silence by the fierce and un-
principled determination of the South,
he has risen boldly, and calm, clear and
impasaionate, his voice has sounded its
eloquent appeals for humanity and the
right. Never timid, never tiring, and
during his short stay in the Senate, he
has reprcsentéd more faithfully than any
man who has ever occupied the same
position, the trite heart of this good old
Commonwealth .

The New Haven Journal, rays of him :

We were by no means disposed to ex-
ult over the election of Francis Gillette
to the United States Senate by the Leg-
islature of 1854, but now we have had
the opportunity to note his“ bearing-at
Washington, we only regret that-his
term of service is not to extend for the
fullterm of six years instead of expiring
with the late Congress. Mr. Gillette
has shown himself to be no unworthy
son of his native State. He has exhib-
ited talents we were not prepared for.5--
He has boldly and vigorously defended
Connecticut against the attacks and vit-
uperations of his Senatorial colleague.-
aud while his peculiar notions could not.
receive univeroal acquiescence, his in-
tegrity, fearleasness, and intellectual
ability have won him universal "respect.
He is one of tho "live men” of the age,
and it is such men we want now in our
legislative assemblies-men who think
truths, and say what they think because
they believe it to be true.‘

Plant to Garden.

The bockwardness of the season will render
a few hints on this subject not inopportulm
The high and in many cases exhorbitant pri-
ces at which all the products of the soil are
now held should induce every man who has it
plot of ground, nay even a flower border to
his dwelling, to cultivate every inch of such
soil to the best possible advantage. ,HOw
many of our Mechanics and laborers might
have raised Potatoes, Beans, &c., enough for
their families the past Winter, had they movie
the effort one year ago, and that too with lit‘-
tle other outlay tlirm at few hours work br-fore
and after the ordinary routine of labor ‘:2.~d
been performed. In very many instances i’~.:~.
children might be introduced into this depart-
ment of “home industr_-7.4" and prove vr.inr..-
ble “help metes” in the enterprise. Children
are naturally fond ofa garden, and the cult :-
vation ofplants, and if men were as much so,
we believe there would be vastly less 1'aScali-
ty in the world. For we take it that an en-
tkudaatic love for the garden would prove as
sovereign a cure for meanness, as for dyspep-
sia! And if so, how many might advsi:i:s.-
geously cultivate a fondness for its liea1'..-‘til’-.~.l
exercise. lerckaritu, Farmers, leckauics. or

leisure moments to its tlltivation the present
summer, and you shall reap a golden harvest.

the propigator of the “Stone Bill Potatoe,”
(a seedling from the Cortes) writes no that al-

still they will mature and are just as prolific,
when put in as late as the 10th ofJune. Those
we have are as fair and hard and uuwrinkled
as a newly dug root and have every appear-
ance of being 9. most excellent variety. ‘If
they yield anything like as prolidcly as rep-_
.resented, they will prove a very valuable ac-

The New York Liquor Law.

The District Attorney of New York has giv-
en en opinion at the request of layer Wood,
to the effect that from the 1st of May to the
4th of July, all laws forbidding the sale of
liquor or requiring license therefor. are 79'
pooled by the new pr-oh,bitory law, and that
anybody and everybody may sell liquor with-
out lieense, on Sunday as well as every other
day, with perfect impunity. The reasons of
this decision are that section 25 of the new
law prohibifs granting any license to Ben
liquor after the 1st of flfay, and as the pains
and penalties of the old law do not apply to
violations of the new——and as those of the
new ‘law do not take effect until the 4th of
July. there will be no law in existence after
the 19: of May to prevent freetrade in liq-
uor, until the day who I) the new law takes
effect.
