POETRY. From the Boston Recorder. “ The children of lh.it world are in their genera tion wiser (Aon the children of tight.” Tbe Mariner, on ocean vast, Around vrtlose head the lightnings play, Delug’d with rain he climbs the mast, And toils for life by night and day. The Soldier, on the embattled plain, ‘Mid clashing arms and scenes of death, Fights fiercely on among the slain, And bravely spends his dying breath. The Fanner wisely tills the soil And scatters round the precious grain, And calmly waits tbe reward of toil Through summer’s heat, or autumn's rain. The Merchant, eager for the wealth Which Africk bears or India yields, At once exposes life and health, O’er oceans vast or desert fields. The Statesman, whose all-piercing view. Looks through the scenes of distant years, Does eagerly his schemes pursue To shield the State from ills he fears. And shall not souls, who are bound to heaven, Across the stormy sea of time, Exert the strength to Christiags given, That they may reach that happy clime ? Shall not the Soldiers of the cross Who are fighting for a heavenly crown With arms immortal, crush their foes And gain, through Jesus, blest renown 1 And as the Farmer tills the soil, And waits m patience his reward, Shall not the Christian lab'rer toil, ImploriDg strength from Ziou’s God ? While Merchants eager for the toys Which distant climes in pride display, Shall not the Christian strive for joys In realms of everlasting day ? And, while the Statesman’s piercing eye Sees future glorious empires rise, Shall not the Christian’s mind descry His Father’s kingdom in the skies. MISCELLANY. AMERICAN WHALE FISHERY. Extract from a review of Scoresby’s Arctick Re gions contained in the New York Literary and Scicnti&ck Repository. (Concluded from our last .) The labours of the whalers by no means end with the death of the fish. In a small boat, in the midst of the ocean, sometimes ■alone, and with seldom more than three such boats together,—in a heavy sea—the prospect of a gale of wind—the ship far to leeward,and perhaps out of sight—the read er will not be surprised to learn that their game is often abandoned, even when dead. When, however, as generally happens, (hey proceed to secure the prize, his fins are lashed together, aod the boats take him in tow, the ship at the same time ply ing to windward to join her fishermen.— On getting to the ship, the fish is fastened to the starboard side of the vessel, and then commences the process of “ cutting in.” Strips of the blubber, about eighteen inch es or two feet in width, are cut with the “ spades/? and the lower block of an enor mous purchase, made fast to it; the fall is j brought to the windlass, and all of the crew, who are not on the whale, man the hand spikes. With this prodigious power aided by the rolling of the vessel, the blubber is torn spirally from the fish which turns in the water, until it reaches the upper blcck at the head of the main mast. It is-then cut tin! lowered between decks, and a fresh piece fastened to the purchase. In this manner the whale is stript of its blubber, and the carcass is sent adrift. The operation of tearing the bone from the head is one of great labour, and can on ly be done to advantage in good weather; it is by no means usual to preserve the bone of every fish that is taken. The reader will remember that whalebone is only tak en from the u lighUwhale.” If the prize should be a “ the 41 head mat ter,” much the most valuable part of the animal, is to be secured, in som£ cases, where the whale is small, the whole head, weighing perhaps eight of ten tons, is hoist ed inboard. The head of the Spermaceti is to be laid open, and its contents bailed ont with buckets. The matter undergoes a-boiling in the try-pots, however, before it is committed to the casks; rind is submit ted to a chemical process at borne to ren der it fit for use. It is from the “ bead matter” that by far the greatest proportion of the pure Spermaceti is produced. The oil used for burning is what is left after pu rifying and extracting the Spermaceti from the crude article. The difficulty of “cut ting in” is greatly increased by the ordina ry swell ot the sea, both the fish and vessel being in constant motion, and perhaps in opposition to each other. The whaler having effected the great object of securing his prize, makes his arrangements for ex tracting the oil. The blubber is cut into Gmail pieces, the try-pots are filled and a fire lighted. The ship would hardly hold wood enough to “ try out” two thousand barrels of oil, and it is fortunate that the animal affords from itself the best of fuel for the purpose—after the first fire, which is of wood, the scraps of the blubber are used ; these make the hottest fire of the two, and remedy the impossibility of using wood or coal. The cooking is, however, done with wood; for which purpose, and that of stowagp, every Brazilman carries . from twenty to thirty cords of sawed wood. Large vessels of copper, called “coolers,” are. lathed tolhe deck, to receive the oil from the “ pots,” and it is usual to “ break op” mS&t of the hold, ami examine the casks anew, before the subtle fluid is en trusted to their keeping’. In long voyages, this labour is gone through with casks that are filled. Leathern “ hose” are used to send the oil down to the casks, when they are fitted to their proper births. From this hasty statement of the labours of a whaling vessel, it is obvious that, while employed on the fishing ground, the work must he arduous and fatiguing. This is however, in some measure compensated by the length of the passages, which common ly consume one third of the whole voyage. The opinion is prevnlent among landsmen, that whaling voyages are far more danger ous than the ordinary passages of trading vessels. This is a mistake. With the sin gle exception of the extra risk in capturing the whale, the danger i9 less in these ships, than in almost any other kind of navigation. To experienced and prudent men, injuries from the whale very seldom occur: for among three or four hundred vessels, on the Brazil banks every year, not more than n dozen casualties happen from this cause. From shipwreck, there is much less%> be apprehended to a whaler than to the com mon merchantmen: the vessel is better found in rigging and sails—her inasts must be good and well secured—her crew is double in number—and the business keeps them altogether clear of the land and its dangers, in the open ocean. It is no unusu al thing for a Brazil wbaler not to see land from the time she takes her departure” until she makes a “ land fall” at her home ward port. And the crew of a whaler can hardly be lost, as their boats are so easily lowered, are always kept ready, are so safe, and so many—and besides, as whaling ships are generally near them in every di rection. We do not, it is obvious, allude here to the northern fisheries, where dan gers of the ice and arduous navigation cre ate abundant difficulties. On every view of this inti resting subject we think it a ground of felicitation that our countrymen are so enterprising, and suc cessful in their adventures in this business. It keeps up our breed of seamen, employs our capital, adds to our national wealth, and encourages the best kind of our manufacto ries: and we only hope that government will have the wisdom never to interfere, except to give the trade a proper protec tion against the contingencies of the unset tled state of the worid. INDIAN GRATITUDE. From the Travels of President Dwight. Not many years after the county of Litchfield began to be settled by the English, a stranger Indian came one day into an inn in the town of Lilchfitld, in the dusk of the evening, and re quested the hostess to furnish hiui with some drink and a supper. At the same time, he observed, that he could pay for neither ; as he had had no success in hunting; but promised payment as soon as he should meet with better fortune. The hostess refu-ed him both the drink and the sup per ; called him a lazy, drunken, good-for-noth ing fellow ; and told him, that she did not work so bard herself to throw away her earnings upon such creatures as he was. A man, who sat by and observed that the Indian, then turning about to leave so inhospitable a place, showed by his countenance, that he wa3 suffering very severely from want and weariness, directed the hostess to supply him with what he wished, and engaged to pay the bill himself. She did so. When the In dian had finished his supper, he turned to his ben efactor, thanked him, and assured him, that he should remember bis kindness, and whenever he was able, would faithfully recompense it. For the present he observed he could only reward him with a story ; which, if the hostess would give him leave, he wished to tell. The hostess, whose complacency had been recalled by the prospect of payment, consented. The Indian, addressing himself to his benefactor, said, “ I sup pose you read the llible.” The man assented.— “ Well,” said the Indian, the Bible say, God made the world ; and then he took him and look ed on him and say, * Its all very good.’ Then he made light; and look him and looked on him, and say, ‘ Its all very good.’ Thenjie made dry land and water, and sun and moon and grass and trees, and took him and looked on him, and say, 1 Its all very good.’ Then he made beasts, and birds, and fishes; and took him and looked on him, and say. 1 Its all very good.’ Then he made man,and took him aud looked on him, qnd say, * Its all very good.’ Then he made teaman, and took him and looked on him, and he no dare say any such word.” The Indian, having told his story, withdrew. Some years after, the man who had befriended him, had occasion to g some distance into the wilderness between Litchfield, tlieu a frontier set tlement, u and Albany, where he was taken prison er by an Indian scout, and carried to Canada.— When he arrived at the principal settlement of the tribe, on the Southern border of the St. Law rence, it was proposed by some of the captors that he should be put to death. During the con sultation, an old Indian woman demanded that he should be given up to her ; that she might adopt him in the place of a son whom she had lost in the war. He was accordingly given to her,and lived through the succeeding winter in heT family, experiencing the customary effects ofsavage hos pitality. The following summer, as he was at work in the forest alone, an unknown Indian came up to him, and asked him to meet him at a place which he pointed out, upon a given day.— The prisoner agreed to the proposal, but not without some apprehensions that mischief was in tended him. During the interval, these appre hensions increased to such a degree as to dissuade him effectually from fulfilling his engagement.— Soon aftet tbe same Indian found him at his work again ; and very gravely reproved him for not performing his promise. The man apologized, awkwardly enough, but in the best manner in his power. The Indian told him that he should be satisfied, if he would meet him at the same place on a future day, which he named. The man promis 1 to meet him, and fulfilled his promise. When he arrived at the spot he found the Indian provided with two muskets, ammunition for them and two knapsacks. The Indian ordered him to take one of each, and follow him. The direction of their march was to the seutb. The man fol lowed without the least knowledge of what he was to do, or whither he was going ; but conclud ed, that if the Indian intended him harm, he would have despatched him at the beginning, and that at the worst he was safe where he was,as he could be in any other place. Within a short time, therefore, his fears subsided ; although the Indian observed a profound and mysterious silence con cerning the object of the expedition. In the daytime they shot such game as came in their way, and at night kindled a fire by which they slept. After a tedious journey of many days, they came one morning to the top of an eminence presenting a prospect of a cultivated country Ih which was a number of house*. The Indian ask ed his companion whether he knew the ground. He replied eagerly that it was Litchfield. Hia guide then, alter reminding him, that he had so many years before relieved the wauta of a famish ing Indian, at an inn in that town, aubjoined, “ I that Indian ; now I pay you ;go home.” Hav ing said this, he bade him adieu | aud the man joyfully returned to fib home. TIGER HUNT IN THE EAST INDIES. Guwa Savour, Jan. 16. W'e lost a man here, on Sunday morning, who waa taken off the bauks by a tiger, and carried into the jungle., K* waa a poor foolish fellow, who had ’ been here, for many months receiving his victuals from the Coolies, except what he got from our tables. He was seen by a Coolie, danc ing and singing ou the bank, and immediately after, the Coolie, ohserving a tiger crossing the bank, lost sight of the man, aud reported the same to Mr. Nunn. Mr. N. returned to me with the intelligence, and we immediately set out, ac companied by two Sepoys, in search of the poor fellow. Going along the bank we were met by one of the Coolies, who had the cloth of the mis sing roan, found nearly a niile from the bank where he was seized, and all covered with blood. We reached the place, and were able to trace the path through which he was dragged into the jun gle. After following the track for sometime, 1 lost it, and looking round rather sharply, for some mark to guide me, I saw, about 20 yards off, a most tremendous large tiger, sitting ready for a spring, with his head facing me. I had only time to call out to the others, “ Here he is!” as I lev elled my piece, and fired. The ball entered his head through his nose, and the monster roared most hideously. Mr. Nuun and one Sepoy came up and fired at him, both shots I believe taking effect. He however got up, and was making off; the other Sepoy was now by, and it appears had been so frightened he could not discharge his piece. Not knowing this, I snatched the musket from him and gave chase to the tiger. On coming up I thrust the bayonet up to the muzzle of the piece, when the animal attacked me, but I stood stiff to my charge. He then turned and ran away from me for nearly a hundred yards, and I lost both of my shoes before 1 brought him up the second time. He attacked me again; and I looked round to see if there was any assistance at hand, but not a person was in sight, except my boy, who was close at my heels with a rifle gnn, calling out, “ Bom 1 ook Salieb.” I canght the piece out of his I and, and putting another ball into the tiger’s head, he was dead before any one came up with us. hfe knocked me about so that I was scarce ly able to move the next day, and my breast is much pained now, where he drove the musket up against me as ] attacked him. He *as a? much as twelve raenenidd carry ; eleven feet long, and his fore leg much bigger than niy thigh. I never will lay any blame to a Sepoy for being frighten ed at a tiger, for that fellow would have killed twenty Sepoys if they had missed the first fire, and in the jungle he was enough to frighten the Devil himself. India. —The whole of the country of Siam was at the last accounts in a deplorable state incon sequence of the spread of the Cholera Morbus fr m Hindostan, where it has carried o/Thalfa million of persons. In Siam its ravages were so dreadfhl, that at Bancock alone (the capital) up wards of 40,000 perished. The poorer classes f the Siamese unroofed their houses to admit vul tures and other birds of prey to carry off the dead. The King had convened a council of nobles, priests and astrologers, to ascertain the cause of this unprecedented mortality; when they were unanimously of opinion that it proceeded from an evil spirit in the form of afsh, urho being disturb ed in its usual abode in a far uninhabited country had sought shelter there, and that the only meth od was to frighten him back with guns, muskets, drums, gongs, Sic. Accordingly an innumerable number of the inhabitants collected along the sea shore, to put into execution the imperial man date ; drums and gongs beat in all directions ; and thousands of the Siamese plunged into the sea with spears, swords,stones and other missiles, to frighten the fish ; but when the scene ended, about seven at night, upwards of 7,000 souls were left dead, with tire Cholera Morbus on the beach and in the water! what a triumph of priestcraft.
