THE MERCHANT & THE MATE.
In the course of a somewhat eventfullife, '
I have learned that it is not only strictly

be something more than a brute. By re
fusing fcquest from' a poor man, in cour

my while by granting a favour in an ar
rogant; over-bearing manner, as if you re
garded the person whom you obliged, with
contempt, you will, nine' times out often,
make a firm and untiincmng enemy. :
No human being- loves to be treated1
firm and unfunckinsr
spirit of pride and arrogance, which
IS i
cherished in the bosoms of some persons
on whom fortune has blindly and unjust
ly, lavished her gifts, has often dicta
ted conduct towards humble but deserving
individuals, which has tended; ,to mortify
their feelings, repress their energies and
crush them to the earth. The mental or
moral calibre of such men is generally ex
ceedingly small. They are almost always
pitiful parvenus, who are despised where
ever they are known. ,
A number of years ago, by one of those
strange vicissitudes which are met with in
every station or occupation in life, I found
myself in Boston in the month of June
young, active and vigorous, without money
or friends, and h search of employment as
mate of a merchant ship. At that time the
commerce of Boston was not in a very
flourishing condition. Many vessels were
lying at the wharves, and many masters
and mates of vessels were looking for em
ployment. The manner in which my numerous ap
plications were received by the different
merchants and ship-masters to whom I ap
plied for a situation, differed, of course, ac
cording to the characters of the individuals.
Some received me with much civility, and
although they did not think proper to grant
my application, proved by their courteous
manners that they were gentlemen, and en
titled to my respect and esteem. Others
saw in me only a poor, and unfortunate
man, who would probably never have it in
his power to aid or retard their interest and
treated me not only with incivility, but in
. 1 . i a
some case witn tne most insulting arro
gance. Although in my inmost soul.
felt such treatment, I determined that the
conduct of such apologies for men, should
not dimmish one iota the native energy o
my character. . -
persisted in my efforts to get an eligi
ble situation -but as I had none to refer
in relation to my character and capacity,
continued unsuccesful- and as my money
was all gone, and I was getting in debt,
resolved as a last and desperate resort
endeavor to procure a situation on board one
of the Havana traders. 1 he summer pre
vious it had been very sickly in Havana
many whole crews had died of yellow fever
and it was difficult to find officers and men
to navigate them to the United Slates.
thought that what had once occurred, might
and probably would occur again and who
v a . -
knew but wnat i mignt by some .curious
turn of Fortune's wheel, be thus placed in
command of a vessel, and . by my industry,
integrity and skill, gain the confidence of
the. owners, and thus, as it were, at the
outset receive a cheering impulse in my ca
reer through life ! It never occurred to me
that I should find difficulty in getting a
mate's birth to that port, at that season of
.the year or that I was in danger of being
carried off by the yellow fever as well as
others.
I accordingly went to work. I learned
that a little old brig, lying at one or the
wharves at South end, belonging to a gen
tlemen whom I shall call Lake, and who
liad a counting room on Central wharf, was
taking in a cargo of Lumber, fbr Havana
and that neither a captain or a mate had
yet been appointed to her. I lost no time,
but forthwith proceeded to Mr. Lake's
counting room, to make application for the
birth; He was alone and received me with
distant civility. I told him in a respectful
manner that I understood he wanted a mate
for his brig Vulture, bound to Havana, and
that I should be pleased to go on board in
that capacity. He made some enquiries,
which I answered satisfactorily then as
suming an air of much importance and dig
nity, which sat'extremely awkward upon
him, he said that he wanted a mate for the
Vulture of a first rate capacity, and if I was
a person of that character he would have no
objeclipDS to giving me employment he
added that the person whom he ' intended
should take charge of the. Vulture was eve
ry day expected from Havana, aiid that he
! should like to consult with htm in the ap
pointment of a matey.' " Young man," said
he "call in again in the course of two or
three days, or a week at farthest, and I will
talk further with you on the subject."
i The week passed away meanwhile I
ya3 carefully watching the proceedings on
board the Vulture. All her cargo; was now
on board, and she was hauled to ! the end
oJ e wharf, Teady for sea, but neither the
mate nor master were yet appointed to lier.
It was about eleven o'clock when I reach
ed Mr. Lake,s counting room. I opened
the tlnor with a trftinhlintr hnnrl. a nrov q1.

hension. My entrance was unfortunately
iH.time'd. Mr. Lake was seated at a table,
anj nearhim, also seated, were two other
individuals. When I entered, Mr. Lake
2reeted me with a glance which he intended
should produce a withering effect , and im-
periously demanded my business. .1 told
him firmly, yet modestly, that I was the
person who had applied to him a week
previous, for the situation of mate on board
the Vulture, and now called upon him a
greeable to his own appointment.
Mr. Lake rose from his seat with fury in
his countenance, and advanced towards me.
1 know nothing: about you sir," in a
voice almost inarticulate with rage. I want
no mate lor tne Vulture, and. when 1 wfcnt
vow. 1 will send lor you. 1 here is the
Annr. sir. nnrl T !fvtrf vnn will nrit intpr.
rupt me again.
1 his reception, so brutal, so ruffian like,
so different from my anticipations, almost
parahzed my faculties. I could hardly be-
leve my ears. While I stood :hke one
thunderstruck, he again bellowed forth
" There is the door, I tell you; be off about
your business. ;
Dince mat time, J nave ol.ten wondered
at my passiveness under such insolent treat
ment. I left the apartment wiUiout speak
ing a word: and as I turned away from the
door, I well recollect that the feelings
which the conduct of this highly respecta
ble merchant aroused in my bosom, were
more akin to pity than indignation. 1 have
since rejoiced that I did not fell him to the
floor, while he was so butally confronting
me. I have often knocked a man down for
a less provocation. But his frosty locks
protected htm from my resentment.
About Tour years after this occurrence so
mortifying to my feelings, took place, I was
in command of a beautiful ship belonging
to one of the wealthiest merchants in Bos
ton, lying at one of the wharves, ready to
sail for the East Indies. On the morning
of the day on which I sailed, while engaged
in writing in the cabin, the steward told me
that a gentleman wished to see me. I or
dered him to show him into the cabin, and
in a few moments Mr. Lake, the very man
who had treated me with so much contume
ly a few years before, while I was friend
less and in distress, stood before me.
I recognised him at once, but he of
course, did not recollect the features of the
poor fellow, whose feelings while revel
ing in the pride and. insolence of wealth,
he had so wantonly wounded. His mari-v
ner was quite different How, from what it
was when he greeted me at a former period.
He was all bows, smiles, and sunshine.
Although the sight of him, at first, not a
little disturbed my equanimity, and suffused
ray visage with the flash of anger, I did
not knock him down, or kick him out of
the cabin, but assuming a tone of civility
foreign to my feelings, I requested him to
be seated and at once demanded his busi
ness. This is Captain Martingale, I pre
sume 2" said he.
I bowed assent.
"I understand that you are about pro
ceeding to Batavia, and it is in your power
to confer on me a great obligation."
1 requested to know the nature of the
obligation. -
" I have," said he, " in ray possession
the ndte of hand of an . individual who is
now in Batavia. It is for $7000. I un
derstand that he has some time past, been
engaged in very prosperous business and
I have reason to believe that if the note was
presented to him, he would pay a part, and
perhaps the whole amount ; 1 therefore
wish to entrust the whole amount in your
possession with authority to recover any,
portton of the amount due, and invest it in
whatever way yotf may deem best for my
interest."
Without any hesitation I told him that I
would cheerfully execute his commission
The papers were placed in my hands, and
I soon after proceeded on my voyage.
In less than a year after this occurrence,
I returned to Boston ; and on the day suc
ceeding my arrival, I proceeded to Mr.
Lake's counting room, on Central wharf.
He was exceedingly rejoiced to see me,
and this time shook me warmly by the
hand and invited me to a seat near the fire;
indeed I have seldom been treated with
more civility' and respect,, amounting al
most to fawning politeness, than I was by
this worthy gentleman on that occasion!
And. this, if possible, added to the contempt
with which I viewe4 his character.
I informed him of the mode in which I
had arranged his business, yhieh was per
fectly satisfactory to him. ! I placed in his
hands the necessary papers, and took up
my hat preparatory to quitting his apartment.
Uapt. Martingale, said he, 1 ieel
very much obliged to you, lor your very
proper proceedings in this business. It
must have given you some trouble, and I
am willing to allow you any reasonable
compensation."
" Mr. Lake," answered I, 4t-Irrequireno
compensation for the services I have ren
dered you. And now, sir, I wish yon to
look me full in the face. It is hardly five
years since I called upon you in this very
apartment, to solicit the situation as mate,
on board a miserable old brig bound to Ha
vana.
My demeanorto wards you was that of a
gentleman, but yon treated me like a black
guard. I was humble and unfortunate, and
instead of reaching forth your, hand, and
succoring a deserving young, man, strug
gling as it were for existence, you treated
me with wanton insult and contempt. Yon
sought to trample upon me as if I was a
being of an inferior race. My fortune, no
thanks to such as you, has since changed,
and so has your conduct towards me ; but
I shall never cease to despise you from the
bottom of my heart."
The man was thunderstruck. A change
came over his features, as sudden and as
great as if he had been touched by the
wand of the fabled Enchanter.' The blush
of shame and confusion mantled his cheek
lie stammered out some inaudible ex
pressions and I again pitied him as I turn
ed upon my heel, and left him alone in
his glory." Boston Journal.
SOMETHING NEW.
The "Patriot," of Quincy, Massachus
etts, states that the Methodist chapel in that
1 II .!
piace, a new ana oeauutui eutnee, was re
cently dedicated to Almighty God, and that
what added to the interest of the meeting
was the number of ministers who were
present and assisted in the services. The
first prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr.
Miner, a Baptist ; the Kev. Mr. Poole, a
Methodist, read the first anthem ; the Iiev.
Mr. Wolcott, an Episcopalian, read the
Scriptures ; the Rev. Mr. Spalding a Meth
odist, made the dedicatory prayer ; aliymn
was then read by the Rev. Mr. Spalding, a
Universalis t, which was sung in fine style ;
when that indefatigable friend of the sailor,
the Rev. E. T. Taylor, a Methodist, deliv
ered, what, if the judgment of the Patriot is
to be relied on, must have been a very or
iginal and eloquent sermon :
'Its effect reminded me of the lyre of
Timotheus, acting on the mind of the son
of Philin producing alternately a smile
and a tear. Now, the eloquent speaker, by
a quaint comparison or a happy remark,
would excite a smile, and anon he dwelt on
divine holiuess ; on the poverty of human
nature ; on the expiring sinner and the dy
ing saint; on the resuirection morn; the
judgment day; and as the hearer listened
in breathless attention,
- Joyless with downcast look he sat,
Revolving in his altered soul
The various turns of fate below;
And now and then a sigh he stole,
And tears began to flow."
The choir then sung an anthem, read by
the -Rev. Mr Banfield, of the society de
nominated Christian ; after which a prayer
was offered by the Rev. Mr. Cornell, a
Congreg'ationalist. The Rev. Mr. Mc-,
Reading, a Methodist, read the doxology ;
after the singing of which, the benediction
was pronounced, says the Patriot, "by that
venerable father of the Gospel, the Rev.
Mr. Whitney of the Unitarian Church."

DUELLING.
The eccentric II. H. Breckenridge, one
of the Supreme Court of . Pennsylvania,
when a young man, was challenged to fight
a duel, by an English Officer, whom he an
swered as follows :
"I have two objections to this duel mat
ter the one is the lest I should hurt you,
and the other is lest you should hurt me.
I do not see any good it w ould be to put a
ball through your body. I could make no
use of you when dead, for any culinary
purposes, as I would a rabbit or turkey; I
am no cannibal tot feed on the flesh of man.
Why then shoot down a human creature of
whom I could make no use? A buffalo
would make better meat. For though
your flesh might be delicate, yet it wants
the firmness and consistency which takes
and retains salt. At any rate it would not
be fit for a long sea voyage.
"You might make a goad barbecue, it is
true, being the nature of a Raccoon or Opos
sum, but people are not in the habit of bar
becuing any thing that is human now.
And as to your hide it is not worth talking
of, being little better than a two year old
colt?s. As for myself, I do not like to
Stand in the way of any thing that is hurt
ful. I am under the impression that you
might hit me. This being the case I think
it most advisable to stand at a distance. If
you want to try your pistols, take some ob
ject, a tree, or a barn door, about my dimen
sions. If you hit that, send me word, and
I shall acknowledge that if I had been in
the same place you might also have hit me.
NEWSPAPER PATRONAGE.
Sol. Smith, Esq., well known in the
South and WestV has disposed of his inter
est in the Mobile Mercantile Advertiser.
In his valedictory address, he thus discour
se th on the subject of patronage :
"fcneakimr of natrons I connot conclude!
without giving some 6'f my ideas on the !
5 6 ,, r .
subject of patronage, i he Americans are I
a patronizing people. If a person sub-
scribes for a newspaper or advertises in it,
he becomes a natron ; if he "puts up at a
hotel, he patronizes that house ; it he pur
chases an article at a store, he gives the
merchant his custom ; if he visits ttie'play
nouse on a benefit ni&hu he bestows on
such an actor a dollar ! This is all wrong.
Let ug change this patronizing air; and,

cuirirATiotf of silk.
It is an interesting fact, but one that is
probably little known, that a provision for
the culture of the Mulberry tree in Virginia,
with a view to the Silk manufacture, was
among the first legislative enactments of the
Colonial Assembly, as will be seen by the
following Act, which, as it is copied from
a book of laws printed in London about the
year 1663, must have been passed nearly
two hundred years ago. In copying it we
have preser7ed all the peculiarities of the
original text. In these latter days, the peo
ple do not wait for penal enactments to spur
them on to the cultivation of the mulberry
the certainty of enormous profits suffices.
