With a mind much moie tranquil, I a
rose early ou the following uun.n to eu

prt seated avast expanse ot vvaier bound
ed only by the eXieut ul toe view, wuh
now and then a white sail visible to ihe
distance, whose inmates d-uutless hhe
tny seif had iaunctied their aif on tins wide
expanse ot waters, to seek iu a clime lar
distant from their native slides the re
ward of industrious adventures. While
i was contemplating tne rolling of the
vast billows, the sun appealed rising from
the busotn ol the ocean in unclouded
splendor: O! it was a -cene on which me
eye of a painter might dvveil in all the en
thusiastic fervour of his art; Tne broad
disk r< and and glowing as livid lire, at first
presenting but a small part of his surface,
then gradually emeigmg until finally, the
whole circle arose in full view m unrivul

ty tiuiy worthy the wisdom of the Great
Architect ot the Uuiveise.
Ol all my fellow passengers, in number
about twenty,none had rtsen to enjoy the
beauties ol the scene, except a young la

my att< ution so the fair stranger, in whose
beaming glance methongit I discovered
tbe index of superior intellect; as soon as

given and r< turned, and we entered into
couveisatios with (bat familiarity which
is usually observed in a societv thug
thrown t g tuer where a mutual obliga

lie ms Iver as agreeatde as possible, and
die iediuusue*s ot ceremony so uksome
aiid unnecessary is entirely dispensed
with.
A few moments conversation convinced
me that I had not mMakeu the character
