THE SEAMAN’S HYMN.
4
Lord op the Sea ! Thy potent away
Old Ocean's wildest waves obey;
■ The gale that whistles through the shrouds.
The storm that drives the frighted clouds—
If but thy whisper order peace,*
How soon their rude commotions cease!
Lord op-the Sea! The silent hour,
And deep, dull calm, confess thy power;
The Sun, that pours his welcome light.
The Mood, that makes the dark scene-bright,
The guiding Star, the fav’ring Wind,
Display a good, a sovereign mind.
Lord of the Sea ! The Seaman keep
• From all the dangers of the deep !
When high the white capp’d billows rise,
When tempests roar along the skies,
W’hen foes or shoals awaken tear—
O! in thy mercy be thou near
Lord of thf. Sea ! When safe from harm,
The sailor rests, in slumbers warm,
May. dreams of home his spirit cheer—
Dreams that shall never false appear;
May thoughts of friends, of peace and thee,
His solid consolations be ! .
Lord of the sea ! A sea is life,
Os care, of sorrow, woe and stj-ife!
With watchful pains we steer along,
To keep the right path, shun the wrong;
God grant, that after every roaru,
We gain an trcrlasting horns
MISCELLANY.
REMARKABLE PRESERVATION FROM
DEATH AT SEA.
From, Blackicood's Edinburgh Magazine.
[Concluded from p. 172.]
The night before I had had a severe
rheumatism in my head, and now remem
bered that 1 had somewhere about me a
phial of laudanum. I swallowed the whole
of it—and ere long a strange effect was
produced. I fell into a deiinum, and felt
a wild pleasure iif dancing along over the
waves. I imagined myself in a vessel and
cn a voyage, and had a dreamy impression
that there was connected with it somelhiog
of glory. Theh 1 believed, in a moment
after, that I had been hound, thrown over
hoard, and forsaken, by a mutinous crew.
As these various fancies alternated, 1 recol
lect, in my delirium,’bursting out into loud
peals of laughter—singing to myself—and
huzzaing with a mad kind of eijjoyment.
Then, suddenly, a cold, tremulous sickness
would fall on me—a weight of sadness and j
despair. Every now and then tljpre came j
these momentary'flashings of reality; but I
the conviction of my personal identity soon ;
gave way to those wilder fits, and I drifted
along through the moonless darkness of the
roaring night vrilh all the fierce exultation
of a raving madman. No wonder. The
laudanum, the cold, the wet, the dashing 1 ,
the buffetting, the agony, were enough to
account for all tbi?, and more than my soul
dare even now to shadow out to her shud-;
dering recollection. But asGodpitied the j
miserable, so also has he forgiven the I
wicked thoughts of that unimaginable
night.
During one of these delirious fits, —
whether it was a dream or a reality I know
not, —but melhought I heard the most an
gelical musick that ever breathed fromj
heaven. It seemed to come on tlie winds ;
—to rise up from the sea—to melt down
from the stormy clouds. It was at last
like a full band of instrumental musick,
soft, deep, wild, such as I have heard play
ing on board a ship of war. I saw a white
gleam through the snow—l heard a rush
ing noise with the musick—and the glori
ous ghost of a ship went roaring pa*t me,
all illuminated with lamps—her colours
flying—every sail set, and her decks crowd
ed with men. Perhaps a real ship sailed
by with festivity on board. Or was it *a
vision? Whatever it was, 1 felt no repining
when it passed me by; it seemed some:
thing wholly alien tp me ; the delirium had
3vallowed u[t all fear, all selfishness; the
past and future were alike forgotten, and 1
kept floating along, Sell-questioned no lon
ger, assured that I was somehow or other a
part of the waves and the tempest, and that
the wonderful and beautiful vision that had
sailed by me was an aborigirtal Creature of
the Ocean. There was unspeakable pride
and grandeur in this delirium. I was more
intensely conscious of a brightened exis
tence than 1 ever was in the most glorious
dream, and instead of fearing death, I felt
as if I were immortal.
This delirium, 1 think, must have gradu
ally subsided during a kind of sleep, fori
dimly recollect mixed images of pain and
pleasure, land and sea, storm and calm,
tears and laughtej\ J thought I had a com
panion at my side, even her I best loved:
now like an angel comforting me, and now
like myself needing to be comforted, lying
on my bosom cold, drenched, despairing,
and insane, and uttering, with pale, quiver
ing |ips, the most horrid and'dreadful im
precation*. Once 1 heard, methought, a
voice crying from below the waves, “ Hast
thou forgot Theresa?” And looking down,
I 6aw something like the glimmering of a
shroud come slowly upwards, from a vast
depth, to the surface of the water. I
stooped down to embrace it,and in a moment
a ghastly, blue-swollen fate, defeatured
horribly, as if by gnawing teeth of sea-
dashed against mine; and as it
sank again, I knew well to whom belonged
the hlaclr streaming hair. But I awoke.
The delirium was gone, and I was at once
a totally different creature. I awoke into
a low, heartless, quaking, quivering, fear
haunted, cowardly, and weeping despon
dency, in which all fortitude was utterly
prostrated. The excitement had worn out
my very soul. A corpse rising out of a
cold, clammy grave, could not have been
more woe-begone, spiritless, bloodless.
Every thing was seen in its absolute dread
ful reality'. I was a castaway —no hope ot
rescue.. It was broad day-light, and the
storm had ceased; but clouds lay round
the horizon, and no land was to he seen.
What dreadful clouds! some black as pitch,
and charged with thunder: others like
cliffs of fire ; and here and there all stream
ered over with blood, it was indeed a
sullen, wrathful, and despairing sky. The
sun itself was a dull, brazen orb, cold, dead
and beamless. I beheld three ships atar
off, but all their head3 yvere turned atvaj
from me. For yvhole hours they would
adhere motionless to the sea, while 1 drift
ed away from them; and then a rushiug
yviud would spring up, and sarry them one
by one into the darkness of the stormy dis
tance. Many birds canie close to me, as it
to flap me with their large spreading wings,
screamed round and round me, and then
flew away in their strength, and beauty,
and happiness.
1 now felt myself indeed dying. A calm
came over me. I prayed devoutly (or for
giveness of my sins, and for all my triends
on earth. A ringing was in my ears, and l
remember only’ the hollow fluctuations ol
the sea with which I seemed to be blended,
and a sinking down and down an unfathom
able depth, which l thought yvas Death, and
into the k ; *gflorn of the eternal Future.
I avvokp from insensibility and oblivion
with a hideous racking pain in my head
and loins, and in a place of utter darkness.
I heard a voice say, “ Praise the Lord.”
My agony yvas dreadful, and 1 cried aloud.
Wan, glimmering, melancholy lights kept
moving to and fro.* 1 heard dismal whis
perings, and now and then a pale silent
ghost glided by. A hideous din yvas ov.er
head, and around me the fierce dashing of
the waves. Was lin the land of spirits?
But yvhv strive to recount the mortal pain
of my recovery, the soul-humbling grati
tude that took possession of my being? 1
tyas lying in the cabin of a ship, and kindly
tended by a humane anil skilful man. 1 had
been picked up’ apparently dead and cold.
The hand of God yvas. there.
Adieu, my dear friend. It is now the
hour of rest, and 1 hasten to fall down on
my knees before the merciful Being wjio
took pity upon me, and who, at the inter
cession of our Redeemer, may, I hope,
pardon all my sins.
Yours, &c.
, A GANDER TURNED FISHERMAN.
From a Dumfries paper.
Several years ago, a farmer who resided
in the immediate neighbourhood of Loch
tnaben, kept a ganJer, who not only had a
trick of wandering himself, but also delight
ed in piloting forth his cackling harem to
weary themselves by ‘ circumnavigating
their native lake, or in straying amidst for
bidden fields cn the opposite shore. Wish
ing to check this vagrant habit, he one day
seized the gander just as he was about to.
spring into ihe pure breast of his favourite
element,and tyiug a huge fishing hook to his
leg, to which was attached a part of a frog,
he suffered him to proceed upon his voy
age of discovery. As had been anticipated,
this bait soon caught the eye of a greedy
pike, which swallotving Ihe deadly hook,
not only arrested the progress of the aston
ished gander, but forced him to perform
half a dozen of sommersets on the surface
of the water ! For some time the struggle
was most amusing; the fish pulling, and
the bird screaming wilh all its might; the
one attempting to fly, and the other to
swim- from the invisible enemy ; the gan
der the one moment losing, and the next
regaining'h's centre of gravity, and casting
between whiles many a rueful look at his
snow-white fleet of geese and goslings,who
cackled out their sympathy for their afflict
ed commodore. At length victory declar
ed in favour of the feathered angler, who,
bearing away for the nearest shore, landed
on the smooth, green grass, one of the
finest [tikes ever caught in the Castle-lock.
This adventure is said to have cured
gander of his propensity for wanderit* ;
hut on this point we are inclined to be a
little skeptical ; particularly as we lately
heard, that, at the reservoir near Glasgow,
the country people are in the habit of em
ploying ducks in this novel mode of fishing.
We cannot, to be sure, vouch for this last
fact; but in the days of yore, hawks were
taught to bring down woodcocks and muir
fowl, and why might not a similar course
of training enable ducks to bring up pike
and perch ?
PANEGYRISTS.
Paul Allen, editor of the Baltimore Mor
ning Chronicle, observes :
“ There is a mode of writing, frequently
adopted amongst our countrymen, which, if
carried much farther, will serve to confound
all propriety and just discrimination, and
that is exorbitancy of panegyrick. If the
character of a man, for examples is drawn
after deceasp, lie is, sans ceremonie, turn- j
ed into an angel. Language is ransacked
for new combinations, and these are all
crowded as thick as possible into the char
acter, ur.til it resemble* a moral firmament
thickly studded with stars. In process of
time, we are taught to look upon such
shameless and glaring departure from truth
as allowable licenses—Flatterers are em
ployed to spread out panegyrick by the
yard; one such violation of truth is pleaded
in justification of another, until every thing
, like congruity, taste and propriety is tram
pled under foot.
Prosperity (says Anachar&ii the Scythian phi
losopher) bears three grapes—of drunkenness,
pleasure and sorrow ; and happy it is, if the last
can cure the mischiefs which the two former work.

CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
A correspondent in the National Intolag
of the 24th ult under the signature of Old ir
tele, humourously relates the following inelanc
ly accidents yhich have occurred in the ci } o
Washington qnce th late improvement o 11 ! r
streets. 1 _ , • .
“On the 28th of last, month, as a 1 redericK
county wagoner was whistling, his teuin,consis ing
of six tine horses,all merrily jingling their bell!-, jus
as he came nar the valuable improvement ale
coriier by the Office of the Secretary ot ae,
both driver, wagon, hoises and all, suddenly < is
anpeared. Luckily, however,, the end ol toe
driver’s whip remained visible above grounj,
which being laid bold of by a hackman, broug )
the whole affair to light.
The same day, a dandy sunk into a great hole
near the Mansion House Hotel and wool,l certain
ly have disappeared entirely, had not the immen
sity of his pantaloons buoyed him up till a plan
was launched to his assistance, by the am ol
which he floated to Terra Firina.
Two days after, a lady in a large hat, was pul
led out of a hole near the corner of I street, by
the feathers, ns it happened, very luckily, that
her hat was fastened to her Irnad by three dozen
and a half of hat pins.
N. B. I,'he lady did not wear false hair.
Last Wednesday, a poor lame sailor, in at
tempting to make his way to the Navy Office,
stuck in the mud, and was extricated only at the
expense of his right leg, which was left in the
hole. Luckily it happened to be a wooden leg,
or there is no knowing what would have become
of the poor man. *
All persons are hereby cautioned against
travelling in the aforesaid places, as it is
very much suspected that several worthy persons,
who have been missing some timefrom this place,
are at the bott(iu of this bottomless business.
During the Evolutionary war, when draughts
were made frort the militia, to recruit the conti
nental army, and certain captain gave liberty to
the men who were draughted from his company,
to make their objections, if they had any, against
going into the service.. Accordingly, one of
them, who hal an impediment in his speech,
came up to the captain and made his bow.
“ What is your objection ?” said the captain. “ I
can’t go,’’ answers the man, “ because 1 st-st-sfut
ter.” “Stutter!” says the captain, “yon don’t
go there to talk, but to tight.” “Ay, but they’ll
p p-pot me upon g-g-guard, and a man may go
ha-ha-haif a mile, before J can say, “ wh-wh-who
goes there?” “Oil, that is no objection, for they
will place some other sentry with you, and he tyill
challenge*, if you can fire.” “ Well, b-b-but I
may be ta-ta-taken, and run through theg-g-guts,
before I can cry qu-qn-qu-quarter.” This last
plea prevailed, and the captain, out of humanity,
(laughing heartily) dismissed him.

The prince of Aniabco, when he was in Eng
land, walking out in St. James’ Park, in the af
ternoon, observed one of his acquaintance driv
ing in a phaeton, with four horses. The prince
burst into a violent fit of laughter, and being ask
ed the occasion of his mirth, he exclaimed, “Vat
de divvel! has dat fellow ate so much dinner,
dat it now four horses to carry him ! —1 rode
out with him this morning, and he “was so light
that von little horse ran away witli him. He
must be either a great fool or a great glutton.”
Another tinae his Friends insisted on his going to
the play. He went, but was soon tired, and re
turned to Vs companions. “ Well prince,” said
they, “what did you seer” “Vat did I see ?
1 did see some men playing de fiddle, and some
men playing de fool.”— Brydon's Tour through
Sicily and Malta.
Drawing the wrong Tooth. —One of the most
curious applications of galvanism to the useful
purposes of life is itjs recent employment as a
means of distinguishing bad teeth from'good.
The test which galvanism has now supplied to
remedy the frequent mistakes made by dentists,
who, instead of ridding you of a bad tooth, will
draw the best you have in yonr head, is consider
ed to be one of infallible certainty in its applica
tion. The method is thus described by professor
Aldini, the nephew of Galvani.
“ He,” the dentist, “ first insulates the patient,
and then places in his hand an electrick chain ;
he then applies a small piece of wire, and draws
it gradually over the surface of the tooth; he
then applies it to the next tooth in the same man
ner, and proceeds in the like method with the
rest, until he comes to the diseased tooth, which
is discovered by violent pain being produced,
and an involuntary emotion in the body. It has
always been remarked when the tooth has been
extracted, that it exhibited a carious part, which
in its proper situation was not visible.” Need
we add, that after the discovery of so simple a
test, drawing a wrong tooth ought to be made
felony at least.
Macklin's Advice to his Son. —“ i have often
told you, that every man must be the maker or
marrer of his own fortune. 1 repeat the doctrine:
He who depends upon incessant industry and in
tegrity, depends upon patrons nf the. noblest, the
most exalted kind ; they are the creators of for
tune and fame, the founders.of families, and never
can disappoint or desert you. They control all
human dealings, and turn even vicissitudes of
unfortunate tendency to a contrary nature. You
have genius, you have learning, you have indus
try at times , but you want perseverance ; without
it you can do nothing. I bid yon wear your mot-*
to in your mind constantly— persevere.”
Hints for Orators —Mr. Wortley Montague
(the husband of Lady Mary Wortley Montague)
was a gentleman of moderate capacity, with a
good deal of phlegm in his constitution. We
once saw a manuscript speech which he delivered
in the House, and which he must have held with
his hat before it while hespolce; and we recol
lect certain notable hints which the orator had
carefully arrayed along the margin; such as—
-1 pause for a minute’— ‘ cough’— ‘ look round’—
‘ slow’—* loud,’ &c. Os a genius so tame and
mechanical we can form no very exalted notion,
either as a patriot or as a husband for Lady Mary;
and suspect that if she had scuttled away to be
married to the man of her father’s choice, she
would have stood a better chance for happiness.
[Quarterly Review.
A filthy wretch, in a red jacket, who frequepts
Merrion-sqnare, Dublin,observing an elderly Lady
alone, implored charity in the name of all the
Saints of the Calendar, vowing to God, if she did
not give him a tenpenny, he would that day be
driven to do a deed his nature shuddered at yet
he would do it before sunset. Alarmed at his sit
uation, the pious old lady, imagining he meditated
suicide, gave him the money, and implored him
to think of his immortal soul, and do nothing rash
ly, adding—” But pray, my poor friend, what is it
you would have been driven to do ?” ” Ah, my Ja
j dy,” said the arch wag, tossing up the tenpenny,
i “ I should have been driven to’ work for the bit,
which I won’t do, please God, while this holds,
any how.”
Anecdote of George IV.- The twoOwyheeChiefs
were introduced to his Majesty the other day at
Carlton Palace. The King was amused with their
conversation, through an interpreter, and asked
a good many questions. Among other things, the
elder Chief told him, he had six wives: upon
which his Majesty good-humouredly observed
“ Notwithstanding which you left vrfur country 1
—well, ! have but one, and I find that enough to I
manage! t”

Mew way of procuring a Job. —Last week a lad
carrying on the buisnese of a (trolling glazier,
stepped into a hardware store in this city, to pur
chase a few nails. He staled that lie wanted them
very sharp, and much pains were taken by the
storekeeper to accomodate the lad, though little j
dreaming at the time that his wit was sharper |
than his nails. Having made his purchase he lelt
the 6tore, but soon sought an opportunity to stick
one of these sharp nails into the shutter tu such
a manner, that in closing the window, the nail
would come in coutact with the glass and break
it. The plan succeeded, and a pane ot glass was
broken. On examining into the cause, the nail
was discovered. In the course of the next tore
noon, along came the lad, and wished to know if
they wanted “any glass set,” when the store
keeper seized him, charged him with the ar
tifice, and after a little threatening, he confessed
it. As it appeared from the lad’s parents that
this act was his debut in his crime, and having
been made to “ see through his error” in the
pain that it cost him, he was dismissed upon a
promise never to be guilty of a like offence.
