Predestination'.—“ Do you believi
predestination?” said the captain o
Mississippi steamer to a clergyman
who happened to he traveling with him
Of course I do.”
And you also believe that what i
e will be?”
Certainly.”
Well, Pm glad of it.”
Why?”
Because I intend to pass that
boat ahead in fifteen consecutive min
utes, ifthere be any virtue in pine knots
and loaded safely valves. Sodon’tbe
alarmed, for if the bilers ain’t to bust
they won’t.”
Here the divine began putting
hat, and looked very much like backing
oul, which the Captain seeing, he ob
served : v- -
I thought you said you believed in
predestination, and that what is to be
will be?”
“ So I'dp, but I prefer being a little
nearer the stern when it takes place 1”

confusion nod a profound silence.
Cool as a Cucumber.—Two Wor
cester editors were candidates for the
Legislature, at the election. The Pal
ladium thus chronicles the result:
The people of Worcestor have elect

That shows very plainly vhich they can

Matrimony.—A young lady was told

himself.) Germany feels the shock to
the bottom of her beer-vats:' and the
cry of freedom rousing the coiled up
sausages ofBologna, encompasses Italy
with the links of liberty ! The time of
desport is come! The dinner bell of
tyranny has rung the oppressors to their
last meal ! Henceforth and forever our
ancestors snatched the burning brand
of regeneration from the hands of timid
posterity, and planted it deep in the
bowels of the future! Let it grow!
But the end is not yet—the end of
this speech. The sirocco of a tnonied
desolation sheds its crocodile tears over
the infuriated instincts of toothless
wretchedness throughout all England,
and the cry among her thirsty and
dewed millions is for'* Gin! gin! and

Our Ifaval Power.
The London Times says that consider
ing the vigilance with which the Ameri
cans have maintained the general effec
tiveness of their navy, it seems singu
lar they should have taken no particular
pains to augment it; although remarka
bly attentive to armaments and dock
yards. There never has been, at any
period, a desire on the part of our peo

potent, than all the navy of England,
and that is our private armed marine.
In the event of war, more than 600
swift sailing, privateers will scour the
ocean in every direction. Every large
steamship, and every packet of 1000
i, will have an armament. There
will be no navy in the world equal to it;
such an armament can only
grow out of the contingency of war,
ihere is no necessity to expend a dollar
in anticipationof such.au issue.
We are probably the most remarka
ble people on earth for promptness
and preparation for war after it exists.
A valuable corps of 200,000 men,
armed, equipped, and disciplined can
be ready for the field in thirty days af
ter war is declared, and so- it may u ~
said of ships of war.. We will slater
fact illustative of this position. During
the war with England, ami while sta
tioned on the Barbary coast, we were
surprised one day, while exploring the
ruins ofCartliage, to see a sharp clip
per built schooner under full sail, with
the American, flag floating to a brisk
breeze, doubling Cape Bon and making
direct for the bay. We rode down to
the fortress of Goletla.Jordered a launch
to be made ready, and found ourselves
alongside ol the schooner just as she
cast anchor.
“Where ore you from, sir?”
“ From Boston, replied the captain,
a smart dashiug looking young fellow.
“ In what passage ?”
.“ Twenty-three days* si*.”
We began to have our misgivings.—
Twenty-three days from Boston? We
suspected she had been fitted^ out at

looked amazed. The Bey raised him
self up from his cushions, took a heavy
pinch of snuff from a splendid diamond
box, and gave us an anxious and inquir
ing look.
• How will you make that appear,
sir?” said the British consul.
“ Very easily, sir.” We then read
the following section from our treaty
with Tripoli:
“As the United Slates is in no man
ner a Christian government, aud enter
tains no hostility towards any denom
ination, it is hereby understood that no.
disturbance shall arise between the two
powers on any religious question.*
It was useless to argue the point fur
ther. We did not in auy shape come
within the purview .of that treaty, so
permission was given to land the goods ;
and the ships and cargoes, consisting
ol every variety of merchandise, were
sold in a single day. The consul sent
for a British blockading squadron from
Malta ; but the privateer slipped out of
the bay, ran up the Archipelago, de
stroyed near two millions of British
properly, was chased round the Medi
terranean by two ships ol the line and
two frigates, escaped through the Gut
of Gibralter, and arrived home safely.
The commerce of any power would,
by this private marine, be utterly de
stroyed in a war with the United Slates ;
aud all the navy of Great Britain could
blockade ports so as to prevent pri
vateers from escaping. We should find
them on the Aliaulic, the Pacific, in
the Indian ocean, the Baltic, and the
Mediterranean. They would be every
where.—Noah's Weekly Messenger.
Harchl, 1849.
Too Busy to be Married.—A New
York correspondent of the Sun, tells
the following ■funny story :
•‘.On Friday^last, a young and pretty
Dutch girl entered the- Marine Court,
and requested one ol the officers
tendcnce to inform her “Ifdat was vere
dey married,de people ?” Being told
that it was, she looked smilingly up
on the officer, and-holding up her head
jos if impressed with the responsibility
of her-position,- addressed him 'with,
•Villyou marry me,-den?* * Marry you,*
.id-the officer, * oh; I can’t do That,
Tbe Dandy and his Turkey.
Chief Justice Marshall was in the
habit of going to market himself, and
carrying home his purchases. Fre
quently he would be seen at sunrise, with
poultry in one hand and vegetable's in
ihe other. On one of these occasions a
fashionable young man from Ihe north
who bad removed to Richmond, was
swearing violently because he could
find no one to carry home bis turkey.
Marshall stepped up and asked him
where he lived, and said, on being told,
that is on my way, and I will take it
for you.” When he came to ihe house,
the young man inquired, “ What shall
I pay you?” “ Oh, nothing,” said the
Chief Justice, “you are- welcome ;. it
was on ray way, and no trouble.”
Who was that polite old man that
brought my turkey for me ?” inquired
the young man of aby-stander. “That,"
replied he, is John Marshall, Chief Jus
tice of the United Stales.” “ Why did
be bring home my turkey ?” ” To give
you a severe reprimand, and teach y<
to attend to 3’our own business,” w
the reply. True greatness never feels
above doing any thing that is useful;
but especially, the true great man -will
never lecl above helping himsell. His
own independence of character depends
on h*s being able to help himself. Dr.
Franklin, when he first established him
self in .business in Philadelphia, wheeled
home the paper which r he purchased for
the printing office, ujwm a wheel-bar
row with his own hands.
A Sleepy Deacon, who sometimes
engages in popular games, hearing the
minister use the words “ shuffle off this

eyes, and exclaimed, “ Hold on, it’s ray

Sketches of Tooug Men
William Pitt, the first Earl of Chat
ham, was but 27 years of age, when
a member of Parliament, he waged the
giant against the corruptions
of Sir Robert Walpole.
The younger Pitt was scarcely 20
years of age, when, with masterly pow
er, he grappled with the veterans of Par
liament in favor of America. At ihe
age of 22, he was called

six guns and seventy-five men—a mag
nificent little craft. We went down in-
the trunk cabin.
“Now sir,” said the captain, “ 1 will
convince you that we are from Boston,^
and will show you Boston notions of
every kind, from pumpkins and smoked
herrings down to wooden nutmegs.”—
He soon filled the table with all the
good cheer, and solid comforts with
which the Bostonians know so well how
to furnish a ship. “ Here, said he, is
the Boston Centinel, Major Russell’s
paper.” AH doubts were now at an
end ; and while we had been partaking
of fare to which we had long been
cusiomed—homely fare, but more wel
come on that account—the captain said:
If you are surprised at our short
passage so far up the Mediterranean,
what will y'ou say when I tell you it is
just sixty days since the keel of this
vessel was laid in Boston ; but here we
” We could scarcely credit it.
Nay, that’s not all, sir,” continued
Capt. Wyer. “ On ray way here, off
Cagliari j I captured two large British
ships filled with valuable cargoes, and
ordered them for this port. They will
he here to-morrow morning.”
“,What, in a neutral port,-in which
the British exercise . unlimited influ
ence? They will never permit us to
sell the cargoes.” ‘
“ Well, sir, we can only try.”
Sure enough, next morning early, the
ancient city of Tunis, honored once by
the presence of Scipio Africanus, Han
nibal, and other distinguished^ pe'rson-
ages known to history* was thrown into

Eloquent Extract.
A spirit of fault finding ; an unsalifi-

inequalities in the look, the temper or
manner; a brow cloudy or disalisiied—
your husbaud or wife cannot tell why
—will more thau neutralize the good
we can do, and render life any tiling
but a blessing. It is in such gentle and
quiet virtues as meekness and forbear

of life consists, far more than in brilli

trious deeds, that shall send the name
to future times. It is the bubbl
spring which flows gently ; the rivulet
that glides through the meadow, anil
which runs along day and night by the

whilst that world needs thousands and

gently flowing rivulets, that shall water
every farm and every meadow, and ev

day and every night, with their gentle
and quiet beauty.- So with the acts of
our lives. It is not great deeds only,
like those of Howard; not by great suf
ferings only, like those of the martyrs,
that good is to be done; it is by the
daily and quiet virtues of life—the
Christian temper, the meek forbearance,
the spirit of forgiveness in the husband,
the brother, the sister, the friend, the
neighbor, that good is to be done ; and
in this all may be useful.—Rev. A.

Moral Character.—There is noth
ing which adds so much lo the beauty
and power of man as a good moral char
acter. It is his wealth—his life. It
dignifies him in every condition, and
glorifies him in every period of life—
Such a character is more to be desired
than any thing else on earth. It makes
a man free anti independent. No
vile tool, crouching sycophant, treach
erous honor-seeker ever bore such
character. The pure joys of truth and
righteousness never spring in such a
person. If young men but knew how
much a good character would dignify
and exalt them—how glorious it would
make their prospects, even in this life ;
never should we find them yielding to
the grovelling and base-born purposes
of human nature.
