ole deserves the name of a yirtuous man who ba
wing su5dued his passions, is guided by justice. This
rst principle of virtue induces him prefer truth TO
every thing, and to fulfil every duty and obligations
even when opposed by his or personal en-
joyments. The love CT his country excites not ONLY
jealous activity, but renders him ready and able in
OF necessity 10 make the greatest sacrifices: yir-
tue gives him lrmness and courage, aud lie becomes
capable of brilliant actions Not contened with barely
doing his duty like Others he eagerly sacrifices his
personal interests, to render his country tie dis
tngushed services In private life he equally at
tenYc To his duty and answers the claims of relations
ship AMI friendship with the greatest exacness. f.
by religion the laws of his country, are familiar 10
sn: gratitude, sacred friendship, Glia and naternal
Gnhes, with the other moral virtues, the feelings
which and animate his soul. Humanity and
candour, in Judging OF human Gaings, unite him with
peace and good LuiGour TO mauiziDd the tran
GUILTY. Of lis soul be troubled but by vice, for the
strength his judgment enables him survey every 90
oct in its proper view; the passions have influence

The honest does his duty. The ri,i1ous man
improves what honesty dictates. Executing with a
zeal, more considerable more ardent with greater
tYiy and rapidly he hurries 10 voluntary services
aud thinks these 4 sufficient rocornPence.
The honet does haryu The riyIlouS man,
far from doing harm, has always bis view the most
elevated and heroic actions; these are his models.
'Unshahen IN his principles, founded virtue, he

essential, as without understanding it is often difficult
10 discover the secret and obscure paths Of Justice
which is The basis of every yirtue.'

or;6ce was bleeding aifesh. I shrUInk abash- cd at the prepOsterous charge I had made, and after endeavOring to appease his injured feelings, withdrew and left him to the care Of the physician. His eyes followed me, and felt relieved when I had escaped from their glare.
 I retired to my birth, and endeavOred to sleep, but my mind had become so feverish by the dreadful occurrences of the night, that tossed about for several hours in painful state of restlessness. At length fell into slurnber, but it was slumber more dreadful than my waking contemplations for the ghastly face of the seaman was seen where ever turned my eyes. It assumed various expressions, and was blended in my imagina- ton with the figure of the murdered Camp bell, producing succession of scenes and shapes that would have driven the waking inn agination to frenzy. arose early and hasten ed on deck, happy to escape to scene of life and hustle, from the solitary horrors of the night. The storm still continued, and ap- pearances indicated that it would do so for some days.
 Mrs. Campbell watched by the beside of her husband during the night, in a state of agony that can be more readily conceived than described; for the surgeon on examining the wound, pronounced a speedy death inev- itable. When the earthly ties which bind the pure to the innocent are violently 'vered, the pang sustained by the survivoris too frequent ly almost insupportable, although the bright promise of meeting hereafter may cast ray of comfort around the heart of the mourner {; what then must the guilty feel, who are bound by ties that cannot exist in heaven, and which, when broken here, leave the torn heart with out hope remaining! The mournful visage ofMrs. Campbell, as she clasped the hand of the dying man, was painful to behold, for even the most careless observer could discov- CT utter hopelessness written there.
 The surgeon on interrogating Campbelre- specting the manner in which the wound was inflicted, was led to believe that the unhappy and mysterious man had fallen the victim of his own hand, and the deep rooted melancho ly that had obtained possession of his mind and actions, rendered it highly probable that this supposition was correct. When first car ried below, after his wound had been staunch- ed, he turned to his wife and said in tone scarcely audible, "behold my prediction yer flied; you treated lightly my superstitlous feelings; but had prescience that should never tread on earth again.

 such violence that it disloeated the mock joints. He lived about 12 hours, and then expired. This is the second accident of this nature' which has proved fatal, in that neighbourhood, within the last six months From these we may hope caution mav be derived, that will deter young men from engaging in pursuit, not only SO dangerous to life, but demoraliaing to com munitv.
