With a mind much moie tranquil, I a rose early ou the following uun.n to eu •} y the luaithiul sea breeze: ihe oceau 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.
