for sailors, when OIL board their slips, have
to boar ali sorts of weather.
When the wind blows, the waves Of the
sea often dash over the deck Of the vessel,
and wet the poor men to the skin, while
they are pulling the ropes and shifting the
sails.
When the lame sailor awoke, he found
a boys coat and waistcoat laid on his head
and shoulders to keep him from being wet !;
and the by sal by, in his shI', trying to
mend the broken crutch, witt, two pieces of
wood 'nd some stro' & twi,,c. "My good
lad" said the sailor, why did you pull of
your own clothes to keep me from being
wet -" o." said lie, II do no. mind the
rain, but | ,horght me large drops that fell
on your ::ace could awake you, and you
MP. ae sadly tired to sleep so sound on the
sround.-See have almost mended your
crutch, which found broken ; and if you
can lean on me-, and cross on yonder held
to nv uncle's farmhouse, am sure he will
get you new crutch. Pray do try 10 60
there. wish was tall enough 10 carry
you on nv back"
The sailor looked at him with tears in his
ewes, and said" When went to sea, five
years ago, left boy behind me-. and If
should now find him such good fellow as
you seem TO be, shall be as happy as the
day is long, though have lost my leg, and
| mus, 90 on cru,ches all the rest Of my lie. y
"IVhat was your sons name ?" the boy
asked.
"Tom White" said the sailor, " and my
name is John White"
When the boy heard these names, he
jumped up, threw his arms round the sail.
or's neck, and said, " My dear, dear father
l am Tom White your own little boy"
How great was the sailors Joy, thus to
meet his own child, and to find him so good
TO those who wanted help! Tom had been
taken care of by his uncle while his father
was at sea, and the sua-burnt lame sailor
found a happy home in the farmhouse OF
his brother and thou h he had now new
crutch he kept the old one as long as he lived
and showed it to all the strangers who came
to the farm, as proof of the kind heart oi
his dear son Tom.

TO THE WHIG YOUNG MEN OF
LINCOLN.

The proposition has been made by many
of our editorial brethren, in various Sec
tions of the State, for an organization, and
a Convention of the Wing Young Men of
the State. The proposition we think a
good one. We have noticed with admra-
ton, similar organization among our breth-
rem in other States and fully agree with
other friends, that the measure, if properly
effected, would tend to the benefit of cor
rect principles in this State.
We already perceive, that the approach
ing presidential election, is TO be one of the
most important crises, that we have ever
witnessed. United, harmonious and ener-
getic action among the republicans of the
country, must be the order of the day
and in this way only shall we insure sue
cess. The enemy, we have reason 10 be-
ieve, are united in every thing of pre-
liminary character, and if deprived of their
"centripetal" power, of "Ofice and of
Plunder," which has hitherto been their
chief support and which can now be made
to bear the more Systematically, we might
well fear to slumber, when passing events
shew so clearly, the desperate measures
they are concocting, and bringing into ex-
ecution. We say then, if anything Of the
character proposed, can be brought about,
let US be about it, there Is no time to lose,
We throw ont these seasonable hints to
the Wing Young Men of Old Lincoln
Gus sections of the County on this sub
ject? What say ye for Convention this

SMALL Pox IN THIS COUNTY. DR.. Cush-
man writes to friend in town, that up to
last Tuesday, the number Of cases of Small
Pox at Boothbay had been 55-,deaths 8.
We also learn from another source that
this disease has appeared in Thomaston,
and fears are entertained that many were
exposed to the infection before it was dis
covered.
We hope the citizens of Thomaston and
vicinity, will, through their Physicians,
cause an immediate and general vaccna-
ton, as an abundance of good matter can
always be procured at short notice, and
this is said to be the only sure mode Of pre-
venting the spread ofthis disease.

An odd Circumstance. On Monday
rather queer case occurred in front ol
MIR. Sanderson S Hotel, in Fourth street.
A gentleman named Stroud was viewing
the procession in honor of the arrival of
President Van Buren,, and in putting his
hand in his pocket to extract his handker-
chief, he pulled out a purse and poe ket-
book, neither Of which articles belonged to
him. The surmse is, that they had been
deposited there by some pickpocllet, who,
being pushed rather hard, made use of the
sailors maxim, 'Any port in storm. -
The articles are yet in his possession.

We refer to the opinions Of other jour
mails which we give to-day, as to the causes
which have brought about the suspension
by our banks. They are just such as we
should give ourselves. Its origin may be
distinctly traced to the want of a National
Bank, while the immediate cause is to be
found in the mania for speculation which
was spread through the country by unlim-
tied bank credits, and excessive imporla-
tious by which an enormous debt was Gre
ated. which could only be paid by ruinous
sacrifices. Truly may it be said, that we
learn wisdom by experience, only 10 forget
it when it is most required.
