the spread of general and mlscellaneo

ing sight To see them continually
loungins"about the bar rooms of public
houses: in oyster cellars, in Barber shops,
and in the Shops Of artisans, throwing
dice, playing chequers, or cards, or anu
sing themselves in some other frivolous
manner, while time is stealing away from
them the most valuable part of their lives,
while it is ridiculous, is also lamentable.
They are e,threwing their youth ,prodigal-
ly away, bfindly imagining that in after
life they Gan make amends for the time
thus wasted; but no mistake can be more
fatal, no waste no loss, more irretrieva-
BILE. There probably are few commune
ties exemptfrem idlers, and in EIkton we
seem to have share of them. We have
loeters here, lazy, good for nothing loa-
fers, who vainly think that because they
keep up tolerably decent out side ap-
pearance, they are respected; instead of
which, they are detested and 'despised by
the respectable portion of society.

THE NAvY.-A correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer states that out of 67
post captains at present on the list, but l |
have been tried by Court Martial within
the last 26 years. Six were tried upon
charges originating in difficulties with
their seniors or Juniors, and the remain
ing five were arraigned through the COM
plants of individual citizens, or were pla-
ced upon trial by the imperative voice Of
the nation. Six of the foregoing cases
were acquai,ted, and the rest were SEN
fenced to various punishments. Out OF
the list of commanders now constituting
in number on the register 97,-1l have
been tried, 10 sentenced to various pun
ishments, and only acquitted. The
number of lieutenants who have been
tried, is in proportion still smaller.

Oh! that man should take an enemy into his
&nouth to steal away his brains.-SnAKsrEARE.
Good order seems to have taken its de-
5parture from this once peaceable, quiet,
t.nd | may add moral town. What unruly,
spirit is at work, or is nature returning
to chaos again. For the last two or three
weeks there have been wars and rumours
of wars-King Alcohol appears to be one
of the belligerant parties, aud has sle,ccd
numbers o. the enemy by shooting them III

1t is hoped by all those whose "voices
are not for war,",ha the strife may soon
end, and peace again reign ''over the land
