TUB fcEA CAPTAIN AND THE CLERGYMAN.

an amused sea captain a aeat or wo in advance of

" Don't swear," said man near him who look
ed (ike a Methodist clergyman, but who looked and
spoke cheerfully, and without any aSdctatioo in his
visj?e of superior sanctity.
The swearing captain turned short round to his
reprover with a frown, but seeing his" agreeable
countenance, and meeting a smile instead of a look
of sanctified horror, he promptly replied, " Well,
I won't till 1 get to eea.
J " Why swear at sea, captain asked hia mild
reprover.
" Sailors won't atir no more than a stick oftim
tier without I swear at 'um, person."
. I fear, my good sir, you have never trted it.
" I'll tell you when I tried it, and thtre is a cer
tain parson will aay 1 like to have lost my ship by
it," said the captain. " 1 was on the homeward
pissago from Havana, and had this parson on
board as passenger. , Ho was not, sir, such a one
as I think you are. but a chap' who carried all hia
spare canvass aloft. i
" How d you mean, captain!"
" Why, he carried all bis religion above decks
Well, 1 swore away at my men as I alwsva do,

harder I swore. One afternoon after I had turned
all hands up to reef tormils, and I had got her
snug under two reefs, and gone below again, the
parson, who had been praying and reading bis
Bible at the rate of ten knot, shuts the book and
says,
" Captain, it's awful wicked fur you to swear
so with only a plank hetwren Vu and death. I ou
will sink the vesael with your oahs. Really
uli vHi wouldn t s-ear no more !
" If I didn't swear we should all go to Davy's
locker quicker than you could say three aniens,

" 'Oh, no, captain I I wish you would once try
" Well, this storm's ovr; but I'll agree to do
it in the next gde o' wind we have,' said 1 lo bun.
" I hadn't long to wait. The next afternoon it
came on lo blow as if the d I was at his bellows
and his wife at the muzzle. I told my second
mate of the terms the parson and 1 had come In,
and told him to act accordingly.' He understood

RATHER MYSTERIOUS AND IMPROBABLE.
The follow ing little bit of romance is from Ihe
Cincinnati Ledger.
A few davs since a lady and gentleman affixed
ia this cilv from Ihe S.uilt.
Dgmtl man sssin
ed In have plenty of money, boasted of his real e-
tate, etc. The lady appeared lo b-i a y-ry quiet
and peaceable bajy, said but little, and seldom
made -Iter appearance at Ihe lahte ol me notei
where they lodged. After being in ihe city two
or three days, oneol the landlord daughters ud-
itenly became very enamored or the laoy above
mi nimned, and Ihey were ai almost any lime lo
he.lnuud together in Ihe riwm of the latter. The
landlord saw no harm in their being in each o her'
company, snd therefire did not pay much atteu
linn lo ihe afV.ir. O.ie afternoon a few days aince,
ihe two ladies went out to lake a ride in a new
carnage which was lately purchased. Night came,
Hid Ihev ind not return. Servants, footmen, host
rs, and almost every bo ty about Ihe place, start
ed out in search of Ihe two ladies, but nothing
could be heard from ihem. Some surmised lhat
the horse had ran away with the carriage, and
probably killed those who were in it; otha'8 were
of opinion that Ihey had got into the river and
been drowned.
In ihe mean lime the gentleman who had come
to the hotel wilh the l-idv, ho was supposed lo be
hi wife, made himself jverfectly easy. He neith
i r look ap rebeiiKinne on llieir account. , Day lie
fore yesterday a letter arrived at tne noici ior me
stranger, and on op-iilng, was found to read thus:
" John bung my baggage over io i an, i tn ,

Us." The landlord, who had been lookmx over the
stranger's ahoulder, suddenly exclaimed, " What
does this mean, sir l" " W ny ," aaid tho man, It
mesne exactly this; two yeari ago you refused
your daughter to Mr.. , because he was noth
ing more than your bar-keeper. You like iae di
charged him. Since that time he has been to the
South and made a fortune. lie came here dressed
in fomale's clothes. He found the atPtciions Vf
your daughter were anil true lo him." " D n
take that fallow, he has outwitted me; but mr.
who are you?" " Why, air, lam Mr's. footn.an.''
Coruti. -The following is an excellent hit on
the unnatural fashion whieh our ladies hv4 of
spoiling their forms and ruining their health by
tight lacing I
While thousands fall by clasliing swords,
- Ten thousands fall by comet boards;
Yet giildy females, thoughtless train,
For sake f fashion yield to pain,.
, And bealtb and comfort sacrifice
To please a dandy coxcomb's eyes.
A Good Wife. She loves ber home, believing
with Milton, that
" The wife, where danger and dinlionor lurks,
Safest and soemlieiA by her husband stays,
Who guards her, or with ber the worst endures."
The place of woman is, jeminentlyi at Ihe fire
aide. It is at home you mut see her to know
what she is. It is less material what aha is abroad;
but what ahe is in the family circle is all-impor
tanl. It is bad merchandise m any department of
trade to pay a premium lor other men opinions.
To matrimony, he who selects a wife for the ap
plause or wonder of his neighbors is in a fair way
toward domestic bankruptcy. Having got a wife,
there ia but one rule -Sonne and lor her. Seek
to improve her understanding and her heart.
Strive to make her more and more auch a one as
you can cordially respect. Slmme on the brute,
in man's shape, who can affront or vex, not lo aay
nevlect. ihe w.iman who has embarked with him
for life, " (or better, for worse," -and whose huppi
nerw, if severed from bis smiles, must he unnatural
and monstrous. In fine, I am prood of nothing in
America so much as our American wivaa.
SPRING. .
The air is becoming more mild and balmy, the
sky wears a softer expression the earth exhibit
"eigne of life, and the gloom of winter has vanished
before the brtehtnee of spring.
There is a peculiar charm abwt ihi sea ton,
a treshness a soul moving life, and a touching
beauty ; there seem lo be a kindly influence above.
beneath, and around us, ti.e brerz sweep get
llv bv laden with sweetness, the heavens are w
ran. ihe bud and blossoms appear as the heralds
of plenty, the carol of Ihe bird cornea sweetly to
the ear, sounds of lite are around us in mingled
harmony, and
" Earth, with her thousand voices, praise God."
WIAr
which surround htni, incapacitated from enjoying
them by hi passions and hia worldlinsss shall
hia unheeding eye see no beauty and his attentive
ear bear no muic T Shall the rich gifts of he
ven. be wasted on him, and nature smile in vain
:''tipoo ber recreant ami' lit i,. ZJZZZum-&
Lei it not be so, let us cast ofl our evil passions,
and give up our iulatolhe enjoyment of appropri
ate recreation, let our affectum be rightly direct
ed and our hearts tempered lo receive kind impres
sions and salutary lehsons from converse with the
great book of nature.

This country was once so infested with these ani
