THE STAGE SEAMAN.—The British seaman tells ever
tat, t• 1..1.... al ft . . .

utauy, notch we find, by a
reference to a dictionary of sea-terms, is making a rope
fast by turns round a pin or coil without hitchirez or seiz-
ing it. Ile calls his legs his timbers, though timbers, in
nautical language, mean ribs ; and he is continually re-
questing that they may be shivered. He is always either
on terms of easy familiarity with his captain or particu-
larly mutinous, and is often in love with the same young
lady as his superior officer, whom, in consequence of their
affections clushieg, he generally cuts down to a mere hull,
as he technically expresses it. [le calls every elderly
person a grampus, and stigmatizes as a land-lubber every
individual whose pursuits do not happen to be nau-
tical. When at sea, though only a common sailor,
the stage tar is the most important. personage in the
vessel; and the captain frequently retires to one side
of the ship--sitting. probably, on a water-barrel—in
order to leave the entire deck at the service of the
tar, while he indulges in a naval hornpipe. The dra-
matic seaman usually wears patent leather pumps and
silk stockings, when on active service; and, if we are to
believe what he says, he is in the habit of sitting most
unnecessarily on the main-top-gallant in a storm at mid-
night, for the purpose of thinking of Polly. When he
tights, he seldom condescends to engage less than three
at a time ; and if the action has been general a moment
before, he has the field all to himself, as if by general
consent, directly he evinces any disposition for a combat.
If there is a battle, he wins it personally, without the aid
of anybody else ; and he treats the admiral as if he were
a mere cipher—as, in fact, he is. for he generally comes
in when all is over, at the head of his staff, to promo
the British seaman, and to tell him that his country
owes him a debt of everlasting gratitude. If the tar
is a married man, lie invariably leaves his Polly with-
out the means of paying her rent; and, when he re-
turns, he generally finds her rejecting the• dishorour-
able proposals of a wan in possession, who is making
advance's either on his own account or as the agent of a
libertine landlord. In these cases the British seaman pays
out the execution with a very large purse heavily laden at
both ends, which he indignantly flings at the shark, as ho
figuratively describes the broker's man, who goes away
without counting the money or giving any receipt for it.
The stage tar sometimes carries papers in his bosom,
which, as he cannot read, he does not know the purport
of; and, though he has treasured them up, he has never
thought it worth while to get anybody to look at them,
but lie generally pulls thc,m out in the very nick of time,
in the presence of some old nobleman, who glances at
them, and exclaims, "My long-lost son !" at the same
time expanding his arms for the tar to rush into. Some-
times he carries a miniature, and finds in some titled
dame a mother to matell it, or pulls up the sleeve of his
Jacket and shows a stain of port wine upon his arm, which
establishes his right to some very extensive estates, and
