CII \NGE OF DIRECTION.
We desire such of o tr subscribers as may at
anv time wish the dircctio i ot thesr papers chan
ged from one Post Odice to another, to inform
ns, in all cases, of the place to which they bad
been previously sent; as the mere order to tor
waid them to a different office, places it almost
outof our power,to comply,because we have no
means of ascertaining the office from which they
aru ordered to be changed, but a search through
our whole subscription Book, containing scvei a
thousand names.
POSTAGE.
It is a standing rule with tins office, as well
as all others, that the postage of all letters and
communications to tnc Editor or Proprietor
must be paid. We repeat it again,—and re
quest all persons having occasion to address us
upon business connected in any way with th
establishment, to bear it in mind. Persons
wishing to become subscribers to the Standard
of Union, are particularly requested to givethei
attention to this; or they will not have the pa
per forwarded to them.
TO ADVERTISERS ABROAD.
Persons, at a distance, who are desirous
of giving their advertisements an extensive
circulation, are respectfully informed that
THE STANDARD OF UNION’ presents the
means of spreading them before a larger
number of readers than any paper in Geor
gia, or perhaps in the Southern country,
with but a single exception. There is not
a State or Territory in the Union, to which
it has not found its way; and scarcely a
Post Office in this State w here it is not ta
ken.

We Here in south lati.tide twenty d,-.
grees, west longitude ten degrees cightcei
iiiimtes, on our passage Iron) the Cap:
lon it to St. Helena ; the ship was dashitie
the sprat before her at the rate o! tenknet
an hour; the •xiiitl was just abaft the beam
and hardly enough of it to make a spai
creak; every stitch of canvass uas set—
not a gore ol it fluttered ; she looked beat -
tifiil as the breeze brought her topside down
to the ki<s of the I nboard war e, -and t e
leeward rigging s'a ketied. I looked ni
it the bellies < f the white sail, till I could
ilrnost imagine, like Byron, that I was car
ried away liy “ a thing of life.” A sailot
can never call I i .'hip il. She is the onh
pronoun w hi< h be cottld apply to his “ bon
ny barque.” She is a sort of sweet-heari
to Inm. The captain stood on the quarter
deck, exit ting at Ins well-rigged clipper:
his eyes sparkled again as the spray broke
over the rotoghtrcc-rail, and the long wak<
of eddies foamed abaft us. Really it wa
a scene which made one’s soul glad.
“Something on the starboard bow!”
bawled out Sam Staysail, with the voice ol
n Stentor. R-‘v as keeping a look-out on
the forecast! •. Sam’s voice was of amaz- I
ing force and volume, and every thing be
ing as quiet as a mummy depot in one of
the pyramids, when he hailed us with hi
•right hand upon his lips for a speaking I
trumpet, it startled us as much as if old
Neptune had paid ns. a visit, and saluted u->
in the mild and subdued tone for which his ■
godship is proverbial. “Helm starboard!”
exclaimed tlie captain to the man at the
wheel. She answered her helm immediate
ly. Tite sheets were handled, the sheaves
creaked, the sails shivered, and the good
ship hove to “in the twinkling of a tnarlin
spike,” as one of the crew said, on observ
ing the adroitness with which the evolution
had been performed. “ Let go the boat
and a couple of hands,” ordered the cap
tain. The davits instantly seemed anima
ted, two men were in the boat, and the da
vit-falls running through the block in less
time than is generally occupied in takings
pinch of snuff. I took a telescope, and
standing against the forepart of the poop,
on the starhoard side, endeavored to descry
the object which had been the cause of stop
ping tts. I quickly observed something
rising and falling with the wave, and ap
proachtrig the ship. It was not a boat. As
it neared us, I could perceive something a
live on it. The living thing was a man,
and he waved somethi g in his band. I
soon discovered that it was a hen-coop on
vyhich the poor wretch floated. “ Good
Heaven!” I thought, “nothing but the
wide Atlaniit, and wider heaven, for this
poor end ure to gaze upon, and a hen
coop the only thing of this world to which
he clings to pn vent him from perishing ;
nay, worse, that lien-coop Lis only oasis in
this desert of walers, and even on that he
seems but the prisoner of death, who, in
stead of despatching him with a stroke of
his dart, is gloating himself like a trucu
lent tyrant, by gradually famishing his vic
tim ere he devours him!’’ I thought of
many of the horrors of shipwreck which I
had heard ol", and my blood seemed to cur
dle in my veins. All the passengers came
upon deck. Among th’m (here was a cap
tain of rt man-of-war, who had been picked
tip by a vessel lhaf we had fallen in with,his
own ship having foundered under most
mysterious ciiyuntstances; this gentleman
was going to England in our tessel as a
passenger. He had described the horrors
which he had endured previous to his h- tng
picked tip, ami the whole of his dire'ul sto
ry rushed vividly on my mind, as I gazed
upon the wretch, who, with the instinctive
love ol lib', and under the infl tence of
hope, clung to two or three dea'-boards,
ratiier than close liis miseries by in
to eternity. The men in the boat soon re
moved him from his perilous situation. I
could perceive, as they pulled him into our
boat, that he was too weak to stand. They
laid him down carefully in the stern-sheets
of the boat, and pulled towards the ship.
They soon came along side, and ropes be
ing linnded (low it, the tars kindly put their
jackets round the poor fellow, and tinder
his arm-pil-q and we slowly hoi-,led him up
to the gangway, and ptilled Ilins inboard
upon deck. i'amitt-.' had battened like a
vulture upon his living fie.-h. He was a
mere animated skeleton. His eves glared
from the recess of thrir sockets, his cheek
bones protruded almost through his yellow;
skin, his lips were b'tie, his beard washing/,
mid added to the hidcoustH'ss' of hi- ghast
ly physiognomy.
“Water! water!” ho exclaimed, open
ing more widely his cye-1-jshes, the pupils
of his eyes dil iting at the same lime ; “ for
heaven’s sake, water !” Hi, lips seeiJed
rigid ns he opened them t.i utter the stip/di
cation', rind his lungs groaned, as it w-'re.
with convulsm'f, as he inhaled the air that
was expelled from them in ai fh-ulating it.
We took him under the awning oiqthe
quarter-deck. A little w ter in a biggin
was bi might to him. O,heaven, 1 had no
conception of what thirst is till that (mo
ment ! His limbs quivered, as the previous
fluid touched his lip.-. And, O the ex
pression—the horrible expression of grti.i
ficaiion that distorted his hardly hnmatl fea
tures, as liis parched mouth and tijiroat
were cooled by the delicious draught !
Every restorative that could be thought
of, and obtained on board tiie vessel, was
administered to the snflerer, and nt length
sleep, nature’s soli restorer, kindly tshed
her influence over him. lie slept i two
hours. \\ hen he awoke, ! was Seated Mom
by his side, IL- looked wildly ar inn I.
“V, hat—where—who— where ami?” he
incoherently exclaimed. “ h this a ship
that the face of heaven? (), Q () d!” IL
shut Ins eyes, and seemed abso bed in men
tal prayer for a few minutes. I took his
hand, and, with as mu li kn dne-s possible,
ssked him if lie ttante I any thing, or if 1
co. Id do any thing lor him. He grasped
ny hand tig Inly in bis hard but attenuatm
fingers. “You are not a fiend!” he ex-
I tinted, gazing on me with a pltrenzied
look. “No, no, mv dear fellow,” 1 replied,
‘a friend who wishes to si rve you.” H
•rasped my hand still tighter, and pie sei:
tto his bosom. I saw a tear Toll d e.vn hi

■ A MON KEY DISTRIBUTI NG TYPE.
I A printer who setved his time in Lon
i donderry, (Ireland,) tells a very good
; atory of the imitative genius ol’ a iri •ttkey .
i The animal was the property of an ap-
I prentice boy, who having won him at 4
; raffling match, brought him home arid lied
i him to his .STAND.

movements of others. How far he pro
fited by it will be presently seen. If h ;
tlid not, in the end, make the rrivst satisfac
tory progress, it was certainly ttot for the
want of close observation on bis part;
He watched the movements ofliis voting
master with the most pr< f >und attention;
IL' ob-erv d how he set the type, and how
he distributi d them. But it was the latter
Vt’hicb most especially struck his Lti-'j;
He saw the lad throwing the b t of metal
about him, into the various departments of
the ease, from A down to AWEtSANP;
ami his monkey ftfgers itched o be em
ployed in a similar manner.
At last an opportunity was afforded him.

so long a string, that he could easily leap

(Ju the upper case, were a couple of gal
leys full of type already set for the next
paper. Upon thebe the monkey c nnmen
eed his distribution. —He was not at all
careful about taking a single wont at a
time ; or di tril n'ing the types according
to the alphabit. Outlie cointarv he claw*
eti tin m up by whole handfuls, tmd distri

without caring vvlicthcr, A went into B’s
In X, B into C’s and C into D’s or it'i how
great disorder the various letters bnan es
mingled together.
In a wd’d, the m rikey, with all hi- 1 il
lative iniienti'tv, wasdoitig nothing better
than m iking [>i o' the two galleys full of
type. Ami this he accomplished in tie
most rapid and eflet trial tniiiimi. Afraid
lest the printers should return from their
dinner before he had accomplished his job,
he threw with might and ma'n, ami had
nearly finished his piece of journey work*

turned to the office i pencil the door and
beheld the new printer at work.
