Ron on Board the Philadslphia Steamer.. I

ROO on Board tie Philadelphia Steamer. A
most exciting scene took place on board the Phila
delphia Steamer, on Saturday evening, on her
way down. She was crowded with passengers
and among others, a part of the crew of one oi
the United States ships that had just been dischar
ged at Norfolk. They were all grossly intoxica.
ted, and had hardly left the wharf, when general
fight commenced among them, 10 the horror and
excitement of all on board-men, women and
children. They had undertaken to chastise a
Mildly belonging to the ship, and to whom they
were indebted, they said, /" for many cat on the
last voyage" They had evidently got the upper
hand OF the Captain and crew of the boat, and
had most numerically beaten the MILDLY, and
nearly cut him to pieces. He made his escape
at last and passed through the crowd of ladies to
the after cabin where all shuddered at his wounds
and the stream of blood trickling down his face.
Fer moment there was pause, and the ARRAY
seemed to have ceased, when presently another
clamor was heard, and 4 general and fightful
row commenced. SIS there no power nor cour-
age to crush this tumuh7' at length said one and
all At this moment, DR.. Page, of Louisiana,
who was on board, and suddenly inspired proba-
bly, by the affrighted multitude Of women near
HIM, and excited at the disgraceful and dangerous
scene, fearlessy cried out, Are there any South
erners on board this boat-any Lousianians or
Mississippians, that will aid me to crush this tu-
mutg" Suddenly one of the ringleaders, deeply
intoxicated. and desperately engaged in the fight
rushsd up to the Doctor, and cried out, I'm
Louisianian, by Cd" &c Then" said the Doctor,
very calmly, touching him upon the shoulder,
"show your Louisiana pride and generosity, and
not fight on the quarter deck among the ladies'
who are full of alarm and danger-take your
before the wheel and keep them quiet"
"Ayc, aye, sir" was the generous response
"Hurra for New Orleansl" This was thrill
ling moment and worthy of the best Daguerro-
type. All the passengers crowded together to
see the result to see how the masterspirt himself
would escape, and TO see how this Prospero would
aIIay the storm. Listen to me" said the sailor,
+" and let me tell you how we paid off the mildly"
" Not here" says the Doctor, (" but go forward and
be quiet" " You're generous fellow any how"
said Jack, "and know what sailor is-give us
your hand !" "Hurra for Louisiana Hurra for
New Orleans" Here the affray ceased, and all
was calm as a summer cloud after storm

Taylor was delivering one Of his powerful dis

old rusty-looking salt got up and was walking to-

knocked his top hamper down, and now he is
crawling off under his lower masts' All eyes
(the church was crowded, as it always is when
he preachcs) were turned towards the sailor, who,
perceiVIDg that the last remarks were levclled
at him, turned round and looking the old man
full in the face, said, in a pretty loud voice

whole audience was in an uproar, some laughing

apparently enjoyed the joke himself, said !: That

that the husband was absent, but momcntarily ex-
pected by the fond and anxious wife. She
heard his footsteps upon the step, and supposing
it to be her husband rushed forth 10 meet him;
and he had scarcely laid his hand upon the bell

TIE Apples of SOdom. In the Crescent and
Cross, we find this passage:
son resuming our desert path, we picked up
some apples of Sodom, that lay strewn upon the
DESERT without apparent connection with any
stem; they were Of bright gold-green about the
size of an orange, but perfectly round and smooth;
they gave the idea Of being swelIed out with the
richest juice, that when bitten must gush forth to
meet the thirsty lip you crush this plausible rind
however, and cloud OF fetid dust bursts FORTH
which leaves only few cindars as residue"
A Female Soldier. The Paris Journel des De-
bates states that a woman lately died at Ghent
named Marie Schellynck, who had been enrolled
as a soldier in regiment of the line. She was
present at twelve battles, received six wounds at
Jeuappes, and was made prisoner in Italy. AT
the passage of the. bridge of Arcola she was
wounded by shot in the thigh. Though her sex
was known, it did not prevent her being made
under lieutenant by Napoleon. At the battle of
Jena she was decorated with the cross of the Le-
gion of Honor, and received apension of seven
hundred francs-on that occasion the Emperor
addressed her in the following words" Receive
from my hands the cross of the brave. which you
have so nobly deserved" Then turning towards
the officers, aSalute this brave lady," said he she
is glory to the Empire" The Philanthropic
Society of Ghent, in honor of the memory of
Marie Schellynck, has enrolled her as an honorat
ry member of that society. 3 -

JUDGE STORY.

The fame OF this lurist is enhanced by the varl
Gus attninments which were superinduced up
on his learning in the law. His "Miseellane.
Gus Writings" shew thoughtful mind, imbued
with elegant literature, glowing with kindly SEN
timents, commanding a style of rich and varied
eloquence. There are many passages from these
which have become the common-places of our
schools. In carly life he yielded to the fascina
lions of the poetic muse and here the great law
yer may find companionship with Selden who is
introduced by Sucking into his Session of Po-
ets J" as "close by the chair" with Blackstone,

- Whene'r you speak, remainder every cause
Stands not eloquence, but stands on laws
Pregnant in matter, in expression brief,
Let every sentence stand with bold relief;
On trifing points, no time nor talents waste,
A sad offence to learning and to taste; ll asre
Nor deal with pompous phrase {; nor eer suppose,
Poetic flights belong to reasoning prose-
Loose defamation may deceive the crowd,
And seem more striking as it grows more loud,
But sober sense rejects it with disdain.
As nought but empty noise, and weak vain,
The froth of words, the schoolboy's vain parade
Of books and cases-all his stock in trade
The pert conceits, the cunning tricks and play
Oflow Attorneys strung in long array,
The unseemly jest, the petulent reply,
That chatters on, and cares not how, OF Why,
Studions, avoid-unworthy themes to scap,
They sink the Speaker and disgrace the Man.
Like the false light by flying shadows cast,
Scarce seen. when present, and forgot WREN past
Begin with dignity eXpound with grace
Each ground of reasoning in its time and place;
Let order reign throughout-each topic touch,
Nor urge IFS power too little, or too much,
Give each strong thought its most attractive view,
In diction clear. and yet severely true,
And as the arguments splendor grow,
Let each reflect its light on all below.
When to the close arrived, make delays
By petty hourishes verbal plays s
But sum the whole in one deep solemn strain,
Like strong current fastening to the main.
