A SEANAN's PREJUDICE AGAINST SAIL
ING ON FRIDAY. You sec, when man
goes on observing that certain things fell
out just the same way after other things
happening, he must naturally put that and
that thing together to make up his reck on
ing. Look here now; lknow the needle
always points due north, allowing for the
variations in different places but so it is,
and we steer our course accordingly.
a'int superstitous if believe this, though
cant account for this Well if see the
craft that sails on Friday go to Davy's
locker, while she that sails on Sunday
makes fair run, say to myself Friday is
an unlucky day. don't call that supersti-
ton Bit more than call believing ON the
compass superstition; to be sure, tisn't ev-
cry one sees this, and they don know don't
care, and certainly blessed are the igno-
rant, for they know nothing. What hap
pens in craft belongs to craft dye see,
and rotten timber laid in ship when she
is building, may cause more mischief than a
a stiff gale on heavy sea after she is
launched. Now, ship to my thinking, is
more like a human being, than just only a
piece of wood and iron put together in a
builders yard: ship has already as much
life as horse and when she founders she
groans, poor thing like a dying creature.
Well, you see, sir, if fellow makes bad
start atthe beginning of cruise, he never
gets right till its over, therefore its natural
that the same should happen to ship and
don't see why it should not for my part

DYING SCENES.

Cardinal Wolsey, when dying, by slow process
and short Journeys, reached Leicester Abbey
He was received with the greatest respect. His
only observation was, .'Father Abbot, am come
to lay my bones among you.' He died three
days after with great composure and tortitude.-
He said shortly before his death, ''Had but ser

but this is the Just reward must receive for m,
pains and study, in not regarding my services L

came to see him--he gave them his solemn
benediction, adding-'be good, be yirtuous, my

for the happiness that had fallen to his lot
The author of Hervey's Mcditations, when on
his sick bed, observed that his time had been too
much occupied in reading the historians, orators
and poets of ancient and modern times, and that
were he to renew his studies, he would devote
his attention to the Scriptures.

EXPRESS MAIL.
From The NetO Orleans True american, March i6.
HoRRIp News FROM FLORIDA.

We have tale to tell, which will make every
man who is proprietor of good head of hair,
| feel the same rising on end. The story is un-
ldoubtedy true-for it was conveyed in letter
from an officer of the United States Army, to a
gentleman of another service One of the troops
a subordinate officer, went to Florida from New
Orleans. While in that city, perhaps from ieyer,
he had the misfortune to lose all his hair, and was
obliged to possess himself of wig. In an en-
gagement with the Seminoles, he was wounded
and fell to the ground, where he lay without the
power to rise. The red enemy who wounded
him came up for his scalp. The officer feigned
himself dead, and breathed as low and softly as
possible The Indian bent over him, drew his
knife, passed it fearfully and quickly around the
head OF his victim; and then with 'whoop!
bounded with his bloodless trophy into an ever
glade.
1t came to pass, that the scalped and wounded
officer got safe back to camp, looking somewhat
like the Prophein Scripture, when the boys mock
ed HIM, and the bears ate THEM. He still survives
to rehearse the narrative with infinite glee, and to
wish the Indian Joy of his spoil.

Extract Of a letter from Washington.

Nothing that has appeared in relation to the
late unfortunate duel, has excited more just in
dignaon on all sides, than the article in the De-
mocratic Review entitled the 'Martyrdom o
Cilley." 1t has damned that Periodical. Gen
tlemen, of all parties speak Of it in the most un-
qualified terms of adherence. Friends and foes
are alike unanimous in their condemnation Of this
hagtious attempt to 'agitate" society. Never
have known a more general expression ofpublic

the mark, completely, and disgustcd the Public,
instead Of exciting it.
