"S-itcr shows himself well acquainted " with the sailor character. VVe give btjlow the death scene of "Old Jen- . Inns :" lu trm course of n few years, llOWeV- ci, tuv. ...w ...... , j lhe iointsof the old sailor, and his limbs mqrrw still, and he was no longer able to 'perform his duties o:i board of the yacht t with his former activity ; "y and bye, mhv slow "desrees, these pains and the Voiicomitant itirmitiel ofagft incieascnl upon him, and the eiVun up altogether yatcnt nua 10 do jTlieii"! tf t he a m- pie chimney corner of the servants' hall ; in the lordship's mansion, in win ter, and on a seat covered with an ar bor, overlooking the fish pond, which Lonl Mordant had constructed for his especht benefit in summer, the old man passed his waking hours telling his battles and adventures by land and flood over and over again for years until at last he was confined to his room then to his bed. He lingered, however, for a long while, and Lord Mordant, who had become gteately attached to him, frequently spent an hour by his bedside. He was present when the old man died. No one supposed the last event was so near at hand. His lordship, upon entering the room, asked Jack, as usual, how he felt. "I am drifting ashore fast your honor," was the reply. "Old Jack Jenkins will soon be stranded in eternity." 'Keep your courage. Jack," said his lordship, "I hope you'll be with us for many a day yet." "No, your honor. The order's been passed to slip old Jack's cable, and the chain's already bitted." "Can I do anything for you ? Have you everything you wish?"' "I should like a pipe of 'bacca, your honor. These varmints of servants won't give it me, though I've axed it twenty times ; cos why 7 the doctor says how it's bad lor my cough. The cough was plaguey bad last night, your honor." "Then, Jack, 1 think they did right You know they must follow the direc tions of the physician." "All tight, sir. I don't blame 'em, I never axed for a pipe these three wreks till yesterday, 1 know it's a seaman's duty to obey orders; but when a man's on his beam ends, aiid all the doctors in the service can't set up his rigging again, why, then, I think it's hard to thwart his humor I shan't see daylight to moirow, sir, and I should like one pipe afore I drops off the hook. May be 'bac ca ain't served out in the other world. Jack said this so earnestly yet so in nocently, that his lordship, notwithstand ing that he saw the old man was rapid ly sinking, could scarcely forbear a smile, and he ordered the servant to . bring the rnuch-coveted pipe, which Jack smoked with much apparent pleasure. Then, lavinsr it aside, he said : "Bacci and me's cut acquaintance, your honor ; that's the last pipe old Jack Je.iki.is 'II ever smoke. Now, sir, please to send for the parson, for the tide's ebb ing fast, and at low water the soul of the old sail r '11 take its departure for , the unseen world." "Do you feel so very bad, Jack ?" ask ed his lordship, with great feeling ex pressed in the tone of his voice. "I feels no pain, sir ;" but I knows that my cable's almost run out, the last bight is close to the hawser hole, and there aint no time to spare. I should like to miike my accounts all square be fore 1 sheer off." Lord Mordant sent immediately for the rector of the parish, who soon arri ved at the abbey, and was shown into the old man's bedroom. Lord Mordant would have retired, but Jack begged him to stay. "How do you find yourself now, Jack ?" said the clergyman, to whom the old sailor was personally known. "I'm dying, your reverence dying slipping away quietely and comforta bly but my glass is nigh run out " "Shall I read to you, or pray with you?" "Thank you kindly; you may I .shall be glad to listen ; but first I would like to ask your reverence a few ques tions?" "What are they, Jack? Speak free ly," said the clergyman. "Is your mind at peace with the world ? Do you pos sess the hope of happiness hereafter ?" "Iam perlectably comfortable that way, sir as comfortable as a man may well be, who ispassiner, as I have heard you say, Hh rough tho valley of the sha dow of death, where all beyond looks nazy tnrougn the spyglass; but there is one thing troubles me sorely." "Then tell me what it is, my good old friend, and relieve your mind from all earthly cares." "This aint an earthly care, your rever ence," feebly replied the old man, wbos life was evidently now fast ebbing away: "So much the better, Jack. It is well, it, at this awful bour, you nad been ena bled to forget all earthly cares, and to turn your thoughts entirely to that future, whose mysteries you are so soon to solve. What ia it you wool. I speak to roe about ?" "It's one of those mysteries, sir. as " I should like to have, my mind made easy about betore I slips off I've been spliced on to two women, your reverence, and both have slipped their cnble ttforf me. What troubles me is to know to which on 'em 1 shall be letted oo to when I g- is up aloft " "In the fatute world ihere is no marriage, neither is there any giving in marriage," replied the clergyman. uLet not such tn flinr thoughts occupy ytmr mimf now." "Weil," replied Jack, Sf your reverence says bo. and the Bibte says so, I suppose it's nil right.' Not but wiiat I bare liked to hook on to my first wife again, poor thing I but it would have been a terrible thing to have had to hook on through all eternity with old moiher Shipley's daugh ter. I could never have heard the songs of the angels while her tongue wasagoir.g your reverence " "Have you anything else troubling you ?' asked ihe clergyman, with dinlculiy r pressing a smi c. notwi:!ist in fiu flt ? "No, your reverence, "nothing.1 I've nev er harmed any one willingly, and though, maybe, I havent't -lone all that I ought to have done, I hope the Lord 'il have mercy upon me, and take me to himself. You've eased my mind considerable, sir, in leUitiir me as I shan't be bound to Sully Shipley when I'm gone from thi3 But kneel and pray, sir; I feel my breath falling fast ; the cable's al ?;ost run out; the last lin '11 slip through the hawse-hole in a few moments Kneel and pray, too, your honor." addres sing Lord Mordant "Pray with his rev erence that we nuty all meet happily hereafter in heaven." The clergymen knelr, and poured out his soul in prayer for the dying man, who occasionally responded Amen" to portion. of the petition but at length he was si lent. The prayer was long and earnest, , and when the clergyman and Lord Mor dant rose from the knees, they found thai while the petition in his rehalf hail been ascending to the throne cf grace, the soul of the honest old sailor had passed away. I RIOT AMONG AMERICAN SAILORS. On ihe 17th ultimo, a terrible riot occur red in Havre, between a large number of white and colored American seamen, (lur ing which knives, marling-spikes, were freely used. A Havre Journal says: An American sailor entered a cafe from the quay Casimir Delavigne with a portion of his dress disarranged. In attempting to pass to tho back part of the shop he was opposed by the woman in attendance, whom he repulsed with violence. Another sailor who was present took sides with the wo man, and attempted to settle the matter. But the first continuing to maltreat the wo man, the two seamen repaired to thestretri and fought. A colored man here interfer ed, and the sailor, thus opposed by superior numbers, was soon defeated. This happened in the morning; but at about one o'clock in the afternoon a num ber of white seamen, from the crews of several ships, collected together, armed with knives and stones, and proceeded to the houso of M. Roney, Rue, Dauphine, where the colored seamen take their meals. The negroes, excited by the menaces of the whites, assailed them from the house, and followed them to the quay Casimir Delavigne. Here the whiles made a stand, and the combat took place at this point. It was carried on so warmly that the combatants seized iron bar- from the merchants, who were shutting their stores in dread of this terrible scene. Unfortu nately, the jolice force in this quarter was not strong, and the effrts of a few agents to separate the enraged combatants were, for a Ions time entirety ineffective. Cor poral Opsou the marine gendarmerie, in his courageous endeavors to preserve the peace, received several wounds and had his sword broken, although he did not call it into service. Among the white and col ored seamen many have received serious wounds, bruises nnd contusions; eyes, no ses, &c, bear witness lo the fierceness oi the battle. Among those most seriously hull is an American At about three o'clock an additional po lice force having arrived on the ground, the fight was stopped and a number of ar rests were made. Ihe affair then seemed terminated, but so fierce was the hatred of the combattants that a short time after wards another bloody episode in the: histo ry of the day took place near the gate of Maria 1 heiesa. and lasted for three hours In this latter phase of the combat a great deal of blood was again spilt. Police agent Bredel received a knife wound in the right car and upon the hand, and was otherwise maltreated so severely that he is obliged to keep his bed. It is, however, believed that he will toon be on his feet again. Patrols of police have been organized in the quarter where the fight took place. Sixty-two arrests have been made, which shows that the anair was a serious one. MARRIAGE CAVALCADE. On the loth of April, Philip IV. having made his will, and commended himself to our Lady of Atocha, set out from the cap ital, accompanied by the Infante, and fol lowed by 3500 mules, 82 horses. 70 coach es, and 70 baggage wagons. 1 he bag' gage of the royal bride alone, would have served for a small army. Her dresses were packed in twelve large trunks, covered with crimson velvet, and mounted with silver; twenty morocco trunks contained her linen, and fifty mules were laden with her toilet plate and . erfumes Besides these personal equipments, she earned a vast provision of presents, among wnicn were two chests filled with purses, ambergloves, and whisker-cases for her future brother-in- law, the Duke ot Orleans." The Grandees of the house hold vied with each other in the size and splendor of their retinues.- The cavalcade extended six leagues in lensth, and the trumpeta of the van were sounding at the gte of Aicala de Henares, the first day's halung-place, ere the last files had issued from the gates ot Madrid. : HARD TO LIGHT. A man got up the other night, and took, as ha eunnosed. a card of matches, and be gan to break offone by one, trying to light a lamp, until the whole card was used .up .... ---. L 1 witnout accomplishing his ooject, wnen ne liAiL...O . D iCCiDiNT. On the night of the 2d inst.. . shocking incident occurred on ihe North Missouri Railroad, in consequence of som fiend swinging a large derrick over a brt ge, by w Inch the smoke-pipe was torn from the ocomotive, and i company of laborers sit in": on a platform car swept off and pre cipitated, some of them, over the bridge, falling a distance of twenty feet, and the rest on the ground at the side of the track. John O'Neil and Jacob Law were instantly killed; Jacob Grim mortally wounded, and eight others severely injured. The same train passed safely over the bridge an hour previous. . BISHOP WHITEHOUSE. The Boston Christain Witness publishes to, private nrcul ir of Bishop Wuitehnuse n a lii:rh h- twsm' his ffi - "s B.shdp of tie Diocese of Illinois- He speaks of himself as suffering from:the "local dis- quieiness," '-disloyalty and faction," which grieved nd assailes his predecessor, and prefers to '-withdraw in silence, mthei than irigina'.e a uiscussion which might wound the peace of the church," &c. . SAD ACC1DE.NT. While ihe United States Artillery were firing the salute on : the ' Fourth of July, it .Washington, a bag of powder, was thrown aside as unfit for use, and careless ly allowed to remain without any one in charge of it Four small boj's, the sons of Mr. Ross, Mr. Fear, and Mr. Keemon, see ing thai it was not claimed by any one, and thinking it a great prize, conveyed it to the neighborhood of Mr Ross's residence on 13th street, and having ob amed some matches, amused themselves by setting off portions of it. Suddenly the whole mass look fire and exploded with great violence, litngerously burning all the lads One of them, a son, of Keemon, is since dead, and two of the others are in a very dangerous situation. A FEARFUL RIDE. We learn from the Indianapolis Jour nal, that a locomotive descended the in clined plane at Madison, Indiana, on Mon day last, owing to the wet track, got bey ond control of the breaks, and went down the plane with fearful velocity. When within a hundred yards of a freight trum which was standing on the track, the En gineer, Samul Idler, and the Fireman, 1 homas Bixette, took a desperate leap tor life from the flying engine. Mr. Idler was dashed against a switch signal and instant ly killed. Mr. Bixotte struck the ground and instantly expired Mr. E. J. Robin son, a clerk of the Company, who was al so on the engine, ciung to it, and by the collision with the freight train, was shock ingly mangled, though yet living.

Mcmbcrof the Royal College of Surgeons, London! graduate from one of the most eminent Colleges of the United States, and the greater part of whose life has been spent in the Hospitals ot London, Par- i, r iuiuuriima.nna eiscwuere, fins etiected some of the mosi astonishing cures that wereeverknown. Many troubled with ringing in the ears and heud when asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed si sudden sounds, and bashfuiness. with frequent blushing. attended sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured immediately. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure finds he has imbibed the seda of ,his painful disease, it too often happens that an ill-timed' sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, trom education and respectability, can alone befriend him, delay ing till the conff' utional rysmpcoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches on the hendj face and extremities, progress on with frightful ra pidity, till at last the pulate of the mouth or the bones of the nose lull in. and the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commit aeration, till death puts a period to his dreadful suf ferings, by sending him-to "that bourne lroni whence no traveller returns." To such therefo-e Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most inviolable secrei-y; and, from his extensive prac tice in the first Hospilalsin Europe and America, he can confidently recommend a safe and speedy cure to the unfortunate victim of this horrid die ease. It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to this dreadful disease, owing to the tin skilfulness of ignorant pretenders, who, by the use of that deadly poison, niercory, ruin the constitu tion, and either send the unfortunate sufTercr to an untimely grave, or else make the residue of life mis erable. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured them selves by private and improper indulgences. These are some of the sad and melancholy ef- i J .faults jiruiil, vi. Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the Head. Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Pow er, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspcpsy. Nervous irritability. Derangement af the Digestive Func tions, Ganeral Debility, Symptoms of Consump tion, &c. Mentally. The ftarlul effects on the mind era much to be dreaded ; Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion of Society, Self Distrust, Love of Soli tude. Timidity, &c. are some of the evils produced. Tfiousands of persons of all ages, can now judue what is the cause of their declining healih. Los ing their vigor, becoming weak, pale and emacia ted, have a singular appearance about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consumption. Married Persons, or those contemplating mar riage, being aware of ph vsical weakness, t-houid immediately consult Dr. J. and be restored to r erj feet health. v DR. JOHNSTON'S INVIGORATING REME DY FOR ORGANIC WEAKNESS. By this great and important remedy weakness of the organs ia speedily cured and full vigor restored. Thousands of the most Nervous and Debilitated individuals who hud last all hope, have been iranic diately relieved. All impediments lo MARRIAGE, Physical or Mental Disqualifications, Nervous Ir ritability Tremblings and -Weakness, or exhaustion of the most feoriul kind, speedily cured ly Dr Johnston. ' - Young men who have Injured themselves by a certain practice indulged in when alone a habit frtqaently learned from evil ;corrpanions, or at school, the effects of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage impossible. and destroys bo.h mind and body. What a pity that a young man, the hope of his country, and the darling of his parents, should be snatched from ail prospects and enjoyments of life, by the consequences of deviating from the path of nature, and indulging in a certain secret habit. Suc persons, before contemplating MARRIAGE, Should rethct that a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happiness. Indeed, without these, the journey through life becomes a wearj pilgrimage; the pros pect hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes shadowed wiih despair and filled with the melan choly reflection that the happincts of another be--comes blighted with our bwn.
