A calm is sometimes more terrible than
a storm. This, said my friend MIR. BrT,
l had an opportunity of proving on "A voy-
age to the West Indies. We had been
out three days when there came on tre-
mendous blow from the northwest -
We scud before it for ten days, and at
last it left us in flat calm, in that dread
ed part of the ocean off the African
coast, called the Grains" The winds
stopped as if strangled. The sun rose
from sea of fire, and wheeling through
the seeming endless day over hard,
dazzling sky, set without twilight; for
there was hardly sufficient moisture in
the atmosphere to refract his beams
And this had continued for the space Of
twelve days. Every morning presented
to our aching vision the same level, bla-
zing sca---a liquid Sahara--our ship
chained in the midst oft An ocean mo-
tioness as If frozen to the bottom-a
prospect, vast, monotonous,an and boundess
silence and immensity were all that
these fatal seas afforded to our hapless
yoyagers. The unnatural stiffness ofthe
elements began to work upon the super
sttious fears Of the sailors, at the same
ime that the terrible heat of the sur
spoiled our water and food, and affected
many of US with dreadful pains in the
head and even with delirium. Pale and
frozen with terror, We asked Of heaven
storms and tempests; and the heavens,
,urned to brass, like ocean, and afforded
US nothing but the same irigh;iuI serenity

Sun, moon, and stars presented alike a
deathlike spectacle; and all in nature
which are deemed harbingers Of peace
and gladness, conveyed to our minds
nothing but terror and prcsage Of death.
AT length to swell the horrors Of the
scene, came famine. 1t had been APP
preaching gradually, but when it was an
nounced that it had become necessary to
deal out our damaged provisions by al
lowance, it fell like thunderbolt among
us 1t is a calamity sufficiently terri
bic on land, but on an unirequentcd sea,
with nothing on its desert bosom, more
substantial than its foam for hope to cling
to, how infinitely dreadful! what, in such
total abandonment Of all nature, could
rescue US from the horrors OF despair.
There was wailing on our decks /;
there were blasp phcmies, shouts of mad
ness, and phrenzied prayers for the tenn.
pests, the waves, and the lightning.-
The sun was dropping for the fifteenth
time in the sea as to his grave! 1t set,
and shot its parting rays on dark body,
that at that moment rose, like the demon

that cloud! On ii came, blazing rs if all
the fires of the elements were concentra-
ted in its bosom. On it came and with
it came the wind. All the demons of the
storm appeared to have leagued their for
ccs in that one gust. Still It was pleas
anicr than the light Of the sun; the min
gled howl of the elements were music to
our ears; and we hailed that tempest, as
it swept over us in its power, with tears
of Joy. l.: four hours it left us shorn of
every spar, and filled with water, in the
regular trades Our decks had been
swept of every thing but onr bodies; but
we needed it not We felt only that
once more it blcw-that once more we
moved. Legendary.

three members Of the Committee as those
three gentlemen had stated MIR. Haz-
ard subsequently produced and read tothe
house statement signed by Mr.. Cor
nell s. themselves confirming their state
ments to the house.
! Mr. Potter moved resolution instruct
ing our senators in Congress, and request
ing our representatives to oppose re char
tering the Bank of the United States
during the present Congress.
This resolution brought on an animated
debate between Messrs Potter and Haz-
ard, and was not concluded when the
house adjourned.
/ alernoon.-Mr. Hazard stated to the
house that committee had, at a former
session, been appointed to erect a suita-
BILE monument at the tomb of Oliver III.
Perry. The committee had attended to
the business, and had come to the con-
clusion OF erecting regular granite obe-
lisk, 81 feet inches in height to be form
ed after the model Of the Bunker Hill
monument. When completed, it would
cost about 5000 more than the appropria-
ton made by the assembly. lie was au-
thorised to draw on the treasury for an
additional sum of $3.50.
Mr.. Davis, Of Bristol, moved to lay the
resolution of Mr.. Potter, relative to re-
chartering the United States Bank, ,on the
table.
Mr.. Simmons said he should oppose
the notion Mr.. Potter then withdrew.
On motion of Mr.. Hazard it was resolv-
ed that the manuscript copy of the an
cient records taken by Charles Gyles, by
order of the General Assembly, deposit
ed in the Office of the General Treasu-
rer, that Henry Bull might make such
copies as he wished therelrom. The ad-
journment of the Assembly was now read
and they accordingly adjourned to the
first Tuesday in May next.

NV Brother dear, wanted much
TO write to you, to-day,
But I'm in influenza clutch
And cannot get away.
He's press'd my eyeIids to my face.
SO that cannot see,
And has not even had the grace
TO let my tongue go free.
That member is 50 swo'n and parch'd,
That can hardly talk,
And YOU would think my limbs were starch d
II you could see me walk.
And then my head-good gracious! there
Is nought in earth or sky,
With influenza can compare
In knots the bran to tie.
AS soon AS they are loosed again,
III surely write TO you,
And with affection, though with pain,
now must say-adieu.

Some degree of alarm has been fcl
on the subject Of the comet which is ex'
pectcd in the course of the present year
The French Philosophical Academy
have caused calculations to be published
which show there is nothing to be apprc'
hcndcd from its approach. Tho follow
ing extract may interest some readers:
THE COMET.
The European papers speak of Com
ct that will appear within 10000 miles OF
the Earh's orbit, some time in the year
832. If the earth should happen to be
in that portion Of its orbit, nearest the
path Of the comet, in its approach to the
sun, they say its motion will be much
disturbed, and serious consequences may
reasonably be apprchended.-N. La
ude has computed that comets may pass
within 10000 leagues without sensibly
derangIng the motion of the earth. The
comet Of 1870 approached so near the
earth as to increase its periodical time
upwards Of two days; and had its mass
puted by La Place, the earth's motion in
her orbit would have been equally re-
tardcd, and consequently have increas-
ed the length ofthc year nearly 40 hours.
As no such effect was produced the dis
turbing force of the comet was consider
ed mscnsblc The mass of the comet
was l50Oth part less than that of the
earth. In l4ji the moon was eclipsed
by a comet; which must have passed
within 2OO, 900 miles of the earth--and
it is known that no effect was produced
by its attractive force, either on the
earth or moon The immense velocity
of comets may be principal reason why
they do not scnsbly affect the motion OF
the planets. That of 1880 was calcula-
ted by Newton TO move at the rate oi
8O0,O 900 miles an hour, and Brydone OBJ
served one at Palermo in 1910, whose
velocity he computed to be equal to
I , 800, 900 miles an hour.--The comet
of 1850 is best known by astronomefs.-
Its period is computed to be about 76
years, though from its motion being dis
turbed by the planets it is sometimes
longer. Itappeared in 1852 very bright;
and was looked after with great anxiety
in 1853 but Clairault determined from
calculation that it would not appear till
April, 1859. The increased length OF
its period he attributed to the inhuenc c
of Jupiter and Saturn, near which it
would pass. 1t accordingly approached
nearest the sun on the 10Th of March,
1859. If this is the comet to which the
European papers refer, it will not appear
till 1884 or 5.-The distance Of this CO.
met from the sun, when in the extreme
end of its orbit, is about 81, 900, 900 miles;
yet it returns regularly, and its period
has been calculated by the mathemati-
clan within 30 days

A question now a-days prevails
And goes the circuit round
OF US poor bipcdS who shall he
n UOrhng Man sci down?
And yet, some think, TO candid minds
The evidence is plain,
Without exception to the rule,
That all are uOrkutg men.
The FARMER trcads his lurrowed field,
And scatters round the grain,
With iondest hopes that autumn will
Repay for toll and pain.
With painting breast he seeks the breeze
His sweaty brow TO fan,
And ranks, through all this working world,
The foremost ,cOrking man.
The snug MECHANICS handy work,
Shows what his hands have done,
Employed from earliest dawn of day
Long after set of sun,
To gain an honest livelihood,
lie labors all he can
To him in truth belongs the mead
Of a fair U0rkmg man.
The MERCHANT, "buSy as n bee'
In counting room and street,
Has scarcely time to take his meals,
Or give his friends greet,
He's here and there aud every where,
From Beersheba to Dan!
One half of all this tease and toll
Would stamp him pOrkipg man.
The STUDENT trims his midnight lamp,
Besmeared with oil and smoke,
And ponder's DER the musty tones
OF Blackstone, Galen, Coke,
In search of truth; yes one poor gram
Amidst a tierce of bran!
Ills meagre look and cdre-worn brow
Mark him rOrhing man.
The CITY foP, a dandy thing
All whiskcrS like Il bear!
lie sports paItry qUiZzns glass,
TO ogle at the fair.
He quirks aud prims and smirks and grins,
Like pug in caravan!
And with the ladies sure he is
n tronder trorking mani
The IDLE LOON that strolls the streets,
Or lols upon a post,
Employs himself in killing time,
Yet never counts the cost.
And if the adage tells US true
That drones are most at pain,
This lazy lout may well cry out,
"\Ve all are WORKING MEN"

AN NACCUSING BREATH.

Temperate drinkers ought to be aware
ofthe fact that they infallibly betray them
selvesto men ofabstnence by their breath.
The man who abstans wholly from the
use of this poison, will detect it a very
great distance Those who would drink
in secret, should no longer be found in the
same boat, or stage, or room, with sober
people. Detection, under such circum-
stances, is inevitable. The man who
drinks but single glass is sure to betray
himself. Drinking men may not detect
each other;but the man whose own breath
is never polluted, has an advantage over
them Of which they are little aware.
