[From the New York Mirror.] THE MARINER S WISH. by eptes sargeant. A life on the ocean wave ; A home on the rolling deep ; Where the scatter'd waters rave. And the winds their revels keep 1 Like an eagle caged, I pine On this dull unchanging shore : Oh ! give me the flashing brine, The spray and the tempest’s roar. Once more on the deck I stand, Os my own swift gliding craft, Ho ! set all sail, farewell to the land ! The gale sets far abaft, We shoot through the sparkling foam Like an ocean-bird set free ; Like the ocean bird our home We’ll find far out on the sea. The land is no longer in sight, The clouds begin to frown ; But with a bold crew and a vessel that’s tight, We’ll say “ let the storm come down !” And the song of our hearts shall be, While the winds and the waters rave, A life on the heaving sea ! And a home on the bounding wave. ill I S € E Is L A \ Y . [From Bentley's Miscellany.] WOMAN. In every country, from Turkey upwards woman lias her certain place. In Italy, in Switzerland, in Germany, in England, in Scotland, and more than all in civil ized and women-adoring France, I have seen her, in instances without number, performing offices of hardship and noto riety, with which her heaven-given wo manly nature seemed to me totally in compatible. That the age of chivalry has passed from Europe needs not the meagre evi dence that no thousand swords leaped from their scabbards to save the beauti ful Marie Antoinette. Travel over Eu«B rope, the proofs shall stare you in the face whereever you go. In Munich a woman does the work of printer’s devil. In Vienna I have seen her making mor tar, carrying hods, digging cellars, and wheeling forth the clay; and there have I also seen females harnessed with a man, nay, with a dog, and once with even a jackass, to a cart, dragging the same through the most public street of the me tropolis. In Dresden she saws and splits wood, drags coal about the city in a lit tle wagon, and wheels eatables for miles through the highways to the markets, in a huge barrow. In all these places, in France and Italy, may you note her with baskets and scrapers, hastening to mo nopolize the filth just fallen upon the pub lic routes. In Franco females do vastly more de grading and out of door work than in England, and in Paris they are in as great request as the mirrors themselves. A woman harnesses dilligencc horses. A woman cleans your boots as you rest on her little stand at the Pont Neuf. At the theatres it is a woman who sells you your ticket, and other women who take charge ot’lhe boxes. At many more business offi ces it is a woman who does the business. Would you bargain at a Chantier for a load of wood, you bargain w ith a woman. Would you be conveyed publicly to the south of France, you receive your right to a place in the Coupee from a woman. There is no shon, of whatever description, in which a woman is not concerned. — There4s indeed hardly a department in which she does not appear to be chief manager. The greatest hotel in Paris is kept by a woman. You sec women super intending everywhere—in the reading rooms, in the restaurants, in the estami nets, in the Cases; —selling tobacco in the thronged Tabacs; —lending newspapers in the Palais Royal, and writing out accounts in the Rue de la Paix; and when, alas! her vocation must needs render her form in visible, you shall still on convass see her image, large as life, in fifty streets ofParis.” One might infer from most of these in stances that woman had changed occupa tion with the other sex. So far as cook ing is concerned this is the fact. But I know not if the remark can be extended further. While the women are thus active, the men arc too generally lounging. Ten thousand brilliant shops in Paris are caeh day and evening presided over by ten thousand brilliant women. Here is cer tainly no unattractive spectacle. Therein is revealed the ingenuity of the French, since many a green one, and many a knowing one, is thus beguiled into jew elry and kid gloves, to say no worse, merely because it is pleasure to higgle a bout their price with such gentle cheaters. As to the beauty of these divinities, you shall hear many a sigh from ancient veter ans of the Consulate and the Empire.— They will tell you that the young loveli ness of those times has vanished. The present is an old and ugly generation. So far as specimens in Cases are concerned the mark may he true. I have been sur prised to find with so much grace, and so much courtliness, and so much gentleness, so little personal beauty combined. I hardly know an example that may be safely recommended, and yet he who should often walk through the Palais Roy al, without ever looking into the Case Corazza, might be justly charged in trav eller’s phrase, with “havingseen nothing.” ENERGY OF CHARACTER. Energy of character is the philosopher’s stone of this life, and should bo engraven upon every heart. It is that which has peopled the temple of fame; that which has filled the historic pages with great names, & the civil &, military \vorld;that which has brought a race from barbarism, drawn the veil from science, and developed the wond rous powers of nature. It makes men great and makes men rich.—First or last.it brings success. Without it, Webster would have been a New Hampshire lawyer; T. Ewing a buckeye salt boiler—and Ben Franklin a journeyman printer. Without it, De mosthenes would have stammered on to his grave, and Cincinnatusdied a common soldier, Shakspcare would have been shot for poaching; Pope died selling tape — Rosco lived selling beer ‘by the small;’ and Napoleon gone out of the world a Corsi can bully. With it each one has not on ly done much good for himself, much for his day and generation; but much for the world, in the past, the present, and the future. Energy of character will do the same thing for any man in a small way that it has done for those. Give the lawyer en ergy of character, and he will succeed at the bar without talents. It is the secret by which the merchant, the artist, the scholar and the mechanic, arrive at dis tinction and wealth. If they fail once, they try again—no contrary winds beat them down; or if down, they will not stay down. The man who has energy of char acter will rise in spite of fortune, and in spite of opposition. Give a man energy, and he is a made man, put him where you will, ami surround him by what you will. Stays. —There are, at the present time, thousands who, ignorant of the misery they are inconsiderately providing for them selves, are daily sacrificing health, and not unfrequeiitiy life, to the mere vanity of desiring to possess what a vitiated taste calls a “fine figure.” Modern stays arc constructed with so little attention to the form of the body, that the pressure is the greatest upon the lower part of the chest, which is naturally the widest, whilst they have the most freedom at the upper part, where its diameter is the smallest; thus, in effect, inverting the order of nature, arid causing a complete transformation of this important portion of the body, by making its base uppermost, and its apex down wards. Here follow the evils resulting from tight lacing, which arc numerous and appalling. Equally, perhaps more objec tionable than stays, arc the various instru ments sometimes made use of, as, for in stance back-hoards and braces, educative chairs, and other contrivances to amend and protect the shape, which so far from im proving they tend ultimately to destroy; in deed all such inventions, so far from being useful in the prevention of deforming, are absolutely injurious. [Hare on Spine Diseases. Tea. —A correspondent of the New York Transcript deprecates the excessive use of tea, as calculated to prove greatly injurious to the nervous system. He states that he is a dentist, and that in the course of his practice, he has invariably found tea-drinkers have the weakest, most irritable and sensitive nerves. lie says: “In many cases, I have been obliged to discontinue my operations, owing to tiic extreme delicacy and irritability of the nervous system. This led me to make some experiments, the result of which I now present to the public: I took a pound of hyson tea, and after steeping it in soft water, boiled it down to lialf a pint; this I applied to such nerves in the teeth as required to he des troyed, in order to prevent sensibility in that part, and thus enable me to operate on the tooth without pain to the patient. The experiment was completely suc cessful, proving clearly to my miud the poisonous qualities of tea; as heretofore many dentists have been in the practice of using arsenic, for the same purpose, which determined me to try its effects on animal life. I then procured a rabbit, of about three month ohi, and kept it without food a suffi cient length of time to leave the stomach empty, then gave it ten drops of the de coction, holding its head in a position to cause the fluid to enter the stomach. The animal appeared to bo somewhat ex hilarated for the space of three or four, minutes, then laid down on its side and j began moaning as if in great distress, and j in about ten minutes from the time of; my administering the dose its struggles j ended in death, the limbs being distort ed and very stiff. I also tried the effects of this poison on a young cat, of the same age, after mak ing another decoction similar to the first but rather more powerful, as I boiled it down to a gill, which resulted in the same way, but in a shorter time, as the animal ceased to breathe in less than three min utes, although the dose was not as large ns I gave the rabbit, being but eight drops. Mr. Greely, of the New Yorker, in an article sustaining the demand of the New York Journeyman Printers in their de mand for the prices established in 1630, says:— “We know by our experience in the. business as apprentice, journeyman, and employer, that these rates afford but a meagre reward for their labor in most ca ses, though generous in a few instances. The quantum of intelligence, integrity, talent, sobriety, and mechanical skill re quired to constitute a good Journeyman Printer would serve to ht up two pettifog gers, throe doctors, our travelling dentists or lecturers on phrenology; and have en ough scraps left to make any number of locofoco legislators and specie, currency reclaimers. Why should qualifications so various and duties so arduous as theirs go but half rewarded.” An ot.n Clock and a witty Auction eer.—The Christian Register of Boston, publishes with just commendation the an nexed speech of art auctioneer unnamed, who had the selling of the clock of the “old brick meeting house” in Boston. To be sure, the Courier of that city throws some doubt upon the authenticity of this speech, in which case we have only to apply the Italian saying, Si non c vero c Lai trovato. [From the Christian Register.] A Venkrarle Relic. The Clock which for many years hung in the interior of the “Old Brick” inceting-house, in this city, after" various fortunes, lately fell into the hands of the Auctioneer. At the time of the sale, the auctioneer actu ally delivered the following speech, which we have been permitted to publish. We venture to affirm, that a more appropri ate and witty speech never fell from tl>e lips of the most celebrated orators at Vendues: ‘Here is the relic of the early days of our country's annals, a remnant saved; an tique of its kind, and venerable for every association connected with its history;— the old church clock—bearing a mark of patriarchal longevity in the date, that speaks it one hundred and eighteen years of age. Y et, while it has ticked and struck off the thousands and tens of thous ands, who have looked on its calm face, into eternity, it is still in good time, and going! going! ‘Though its existence was begun in the land of King?, moved by the spirit of our pi ous fathers, it followed them to the land of pilgrims, and was consecrated to serve in the house of God, whom they came hith er to worship as the childern of his king dom, and not as spiritual slaves to earthly despotism. ‘This sober, ever-going clock, came over in the days of caution and sanity. It came when a sea voyage was a serious thing and religion a serious thing and a church clock a serious thing. It count ed the moments, while the minister of God was preaching, and his hearers lis tening of Eternity. It echoed his text, “Take heed how ye hoar.” Then was there real clock-work and order in men’s minds and principles. Vanity did not then stare this venerable monitor in the face, and study the while how to display its plumage. Avarice did not dare, un der its measured “click,” to be planning in the temple how to lay up goods for many years. Nor was pride then puffed up by the breath of its own nostrils, while this minute hand was showing its duration cut shorter at the beat of every pulse. 'Now, who will let this venerable me mento of those days be desecrated? Who will not wish to possess himself of it, as a relic of the age of simplicity and sincerity? ‘Look at its aged but unwriuklcd face. It is calm; for it has not to answer for the sermons it heard. Look at it, ye degen erate sons of New England! Do ye not seem to sec the shade go back on the di al-platc to the days of your fathers, and to hear the voices of these aged servants of God, who went from their preaching to their reward? ‘I would speak more, but the hour is come. To whom shall it be sold? The Highest Inhabited Places in tilts known world are iu Peru. The cottages, at the course of the Ancomarca, are atao, elevation of 15,720 feet above the level of the sea. The village of Tacors is 14,275 feet high. Potosi, once containing a pop ulation of 150,000, is 13,000 feet above the level of the sea. [TERMS ** W AJOVASG*. Tfit: tM, •a. £. • - | ATLANTIC STEAM NAVIGAfIifePT. An interesting letter pn from an American citizen in contained in the N. York Courier. Tbe writer furnishes the foHowinglist of sttfem vessels now employed in navigating th« Atlantic, and also those which are being 1 built for that purpose: Great Western—l3so tons, 450 horse power, built in Bristol British Queen—l 800 tons, 500 b. pow er built in London N , Liverpool—loso tons, 464 h. power, built iu Liverpool President (Ain’n) —2400 tons, 000 h. power—London United States—l2so tons, 420 h. power —Liverpool 7 United Kingdom—l2so tons, 420 h. power—Liverpool Atalanta—-1250 tons, 350 hf power, (iron) —Liverpool New York—to be built in Bristol of iron. He then proceeds in the following in teresting train of remark:— Thus in tlie course of two yew’s there will be employed betweert England and the United States no less than eight Brit ish steam ships; and allowing each to per form eight voyages per annum, we fchall have a steam conveyance at intervals of every six days; thus we shall be indebted to British enterprise and British ships for the means of communicating between these two great countries. Surely the Americans arc not to be satisfied with this state of things? Hitherto they have dis played an enterprise unparalleled, an ardor iu the pursuit of commerce unequalled— and will they see this great branch of their trade wrested from them without an cffortT If there arc not the means at present in the United States for making engines equal 1o the enterprise, they can obtain them in England, and in a very short time it will be found that the American engines will be at least equal to any in the world.— Our machinery has hitherto been stapled to the peculiarities of onr country,-K# the navigation of our immense rivers, lakes and bays; we have had no occasion for such strength as transatlantic steam re quires; but when the spur is once given, and we are brought into fair competition, wc shall not be loft behind in their ships or engines. I do not say this to disparage what has been done iii England; on the contrary I glory in her enterprise. It is emulation in this vast field which I am looking to. When I saw the reception which New York gave to the British steamer*, I fell proud that my countrymen were 99 ready to yield to them the palm of victotj*, and bestow on their commanders the wreaths of laurel; it was the emblem of that gener ous spirit which 1 hope will ever charac terise Americans. If the Dritish public arc thus alive to the importance of steam navigation, the British government are not less so; they have first class steam vessels building in every direction, ard contracts with all the principal engine makers 4n tlie king dom. The West India and Brazil mails are to be carried by steam, and every ef fort is making to reduce the period of communication with all the commercial world. If such are the efforts using in this country, is North America Jo be a silent spectator? Have we ne interest in this great matter? Arc we doing any thing to protect ourselves against a Beet of steamers which may now enter Jt! ports and harbours in spite of tut. Is our Na vy to be neglected, and oor Beet of ships to be placed at the mercy es hslf% dozen steamers? Hare we one Sftcicut steam going ship in the United States? Have we officers who have ever made the sci ence of steam their study? WT»at would become of us if wo waive brought into collision with either France or England? What would be the foteef oor touted Pennsylvania, with a steam frigtoilnwpind ward of her, armed with** Maple of 98 pounders?
