An eloquent writer i'll the April number Of
the Southern Literary Messenger inthe course
of an article on the subject of the Navy, thus
alludes to the battle of the Constitution and
the Guerrero:
Gin 1912, the Constitution met the Guerri-
ere, and handful of American seamen had
the honor of demonstrating problem on the
sea, which nations had been taught to con-
slider difficult, if not impossible of solution.
In one half hour, the charm which for ages
had hung around the "wooden walls of old
England" and which held whole navies spell
bound, was gone forever. An English man.
ot-war was prize and her crew prisoners to
an American ship of her own class.
Dacres, recollecting the affair of tho i'll
starred Chesapeake, held his enemy in con-
tempt; and when he saw the Constitution
standing for him, from his soul he pitied the
rasfness of her commander. Disdaining to
man9avre before such an enemy, the haugh-
,'y Englislnnan opened his fire at long shot,
and boldly stood for the American: but his
enemy was tile very elite Of chivalry Even
at such moment the American tars could
but admire the noble daring of the Briton.
| They felt proud to see their foe bear him in
such gallant style. And in their saior-song
| OF victory, they called him "the gallant Da-
ores bold Captain Hull had determined on
his position, aud stood OH in silence
The shot first fell short, then began to reach
and finally to tell. The impatient crew turned
from the vauh,ing Englshman to their own
commander, To catch, if they might, by a
glance OF the eye or the motion Of lip, the
half spoken order. But all that could be read
in the regular lines Of that countenance was
the GOODNESS of bravery, and the stern resolve
ito do or die The Guerrero, .nveloped in
a cloud Of smoke from her brisl1ly worked bat

Friction between Air and Water.-The
friction between air and water often produces
the most magnificent, and sometimes the most
disastrous consequences, for it is owing to this
cause not only that the ocean rises into noun
tain waves, before the force of which all the
works OF man are as nothing.
| 1t is true, that waves are often seen when
the wind does not blow, or when it has ceased,
because the ocean which once set in motion
continues 10 roll after the cause has ceased to
act A boat rowed across still lake, forms
waves which do not reach the shore until long
after the line of the boat has been Cbliterated
Even the small motion given to surface of
water by the fall of stone thrown into it, will
be perpetrated many IDS in circumference.
This propensity in water to perpetuate any
disturbance in the natural smoothness of its
surface, is the reason why the ocean often
rises into waves, mountain high, beyond the
reach of the storms which first set it in mo.
tion and perhaps many days after the storm
has ceased. Seamen often know from the ap-
pearance Of the ocean, that there has been a
storm at a distance, though not sheet of
their own has been filled with breeze for
days or weeks.
In rounding the Cape of Good Hope, it is
said that the swell of the sea is sometimes so
vast, that each wave and each hollow is mile
across.
During the continuance of the wind, and
in places where the waves are owing to its fric-
ton alone, the effect may be counteracted by
pouring oil' on the water, which spreading,
defends it from the contact of air and thus
produces calm. If this can be done at the
Ewindward side Of pond, where the waves
. begin, the whole surface, it is said, will soon
become as smooth as glass. 1t is said, also,
that boats having to reach the shore through
a raging surf have been preserved in conse-
quence of the sailors having thrown barrel
of oil in the water-Consstock's Natural

Franklin first noticed this fact.

Gratitude to Horse--The late DR.. Par
IRISH of Philadelphia, who died last month,
made an express provision in his will that one
hundred and fifty dollars of his estate be an
nually expended in making his old horse COM
Portable as long rs he lives. The will re-
quires that he shall be quartered in Burling-
ton, be literally fed, have bed of straw every
night, be regularly curried and kept clean, and
used just enough for his own agreeable and
healthy exercise no more than this. This
fact demonstrates the benevolence and kind
hess of the good doctor.

In our age there is too little of that moral
courage which dares write out the thoughts of
men as they exist.-We want that spirit which
will guard us against the smiles of fattery and
the trowns of censure, and then dare to act
ard think as becometh men, let the world APP
prove those thoughts and actions or not
What could Martin Luther have accomplished
had he not been possessed of that spirit which
dared all opposition, and which brooked all
the insults that were heaped upon him? What
could those patriots of the Revolution have
accomplished, had they not been possessed of
that moral courage, and righteous independ.
ence, which proclaimed themselves no longer
the slaves of others, but ready to act for them
selves and in the spirit of freedom? Men are
too sensible to the sneers of the world, to act
independently, and thus we see most men
before theyperform any great action, ask them
selves not only is it right is it just but how
will the world receive it? And thus they
temper their words and actions to the world,
and not to their own feelings and Judgments
Tins is wrong slavishly, degradingly wrong
and he who acts upon it is the slave Of
slaves.

| at liberty to worship God as he pleased, and

of bringing home its shipwrecked SONS. ,nsy
hoped to meet with kind reception. A. i
further proof of their philamthropic views,
they had brought with them sklliul pl,ysi-
clan and many costly medicines of wonderful
power. and it would give them the greatest
pleasure to employ them in restoring the ia
panese to health. To these papers was appen-
ded a list of commodities which the ship had
on board, with the request that free trade
might be al owed with the inhabitants. All
these representations and measures, however,
brought no other result than the opening OF
n fire upon the ship from the neighboring bat
teries, which was continueduntil it had taken
its departure. Equally vain was the attempt
to land upon other parts of the coast. In short,
the house of ELEPHANT and Co. was obliged
to abandon the project. -...
This first effort Of the North Americans to
obtain footing in eastern Asia, and perhaps
to gain apreponderating commercial influence
there, is an event of more than ordinary his
torical interest. Sagacions observers have
long predicted that not many generations
would pass before the Americans would at
tempt to render Japan and China accessible,
and that these nations would find themselves
obliged by the populating ofthe western coast
of America, and the establishment of ship
communication at the isthmus of Daren, to
grant larger concessions to the commercial
enterprise of the Americans, than they have
ever yet granted to any civilized people.
