LANDSMEN AT SEA.

About as many blnnders are committed in
attempting the use Of terms at sea, as in any
other business Of which we have any know
ledge The vocabulary Of the sailor is a
difficult one to become acquainted with, and
to the, old salt nothing is more ludicrons
than the perversion Of phrases common to
the land lubber on ship-board or on shore.
We have laughed until we cried over the
events Of a brief voyage made by down
easter some years ago The old fellow had
been driving carts all his life time, at New
port, Rhode Island, and knew as much about
the sea as the man in the moon Feeling a
desire to embark in something more profita-
BILE, he had concluded to undertake fish
ing speculation. With his son, a stout youth
Of twenty years, he had made two or three
short, as it happened pleasant voyages to
Squipnocket Point and other places, and
finally thought himself sufficiently accom-
plished sailor to take command OF a sloop
he had purchased, and start for Cape Cod,
his son being cook, steward, and all hands.
1t was delightful morning when they left
Newport harbor, but after.a few hours II
commenced blowing a little harder, and a
cloud reared itself in the horizon. The
captain began to feel somewhat sea sick.
| sThere's danger comm mp, Enam,2 said
| the old man, bnt we won't back OUT
You see that point right ahead of us-well
stick to that ar helum. Don't let her
finch an inch,-but drive strate to that
point
...n.l e,,J E,,,x,
where's them cold taters 2 asked the
captain, after brief pause.
Down in the cabing'
And the cold pork-?'
Down in the cabling, tn !; and the pepper
sass is in the cruet next to the plain vinegar;
and the cider brandy is in the Jug under the
table,
well, Enam, Pm going down to take a
snack and something to drink Well stick
her through, as said afore. IL there's any
alteration on deck let me know what It's
The captain went down, and in order to
quiet his rebellious stomach, piled himself
| literally with the cider brandy, and turned
in. The storm came up right speedily,
shivered the main-sail to ribbons, carried
away the mast, and, as the vessel was going
with the sea, the helm poked Enam on the
side of the head, and knocked him to the
lee scupper, where he lay senseless for some
minutes. At length he crawled to the com
panion way, and sung out;
sDaddy Daddy
sHollo, what's the trouble 7
Quite an alteration upon the deck here.

able expostions of the late and the present Secre-
tary Of State upon this question; but the abors
and efforts Of son Of Massachusetts,, his vener-
able colleague, then before him, (Mr. Adans,)
were Of infinitely greater Importance

From The True Wesleyan.
REPUBLICAN DESPOTfSM.

In the Site Of Connecticut | found a refu.
zee from Justice who had fled from the blood
hounds and hell-hOunds of Georgia. On the
upper Joint of each fore-finger, her masters
name WAS printed in letters of tire-from her
wrist to her neck. her arm was full Of black
sears of the bloody whip, and she said her
back WIS in the same condition.. She was
large, stout and active, and was compelled 10
mlrry at If years Of age, that her master
might m Ike gain by selling her offspring.-
After she had borne four children, her master
sold the two oldest away from her, but sic
chung to thom as with a death grasp, and beg
ged him not to let them go, but while she
asked an egg, he gave her a scorpion, by
shooting her in the arm, which struck her
numb and unclenched her hands and the pre-
cious Jewels of her bosom were snatched
away-she knows not where. The next day
she was in as great agony as she could well
| endure. Some of the shot still remain in her
arm, and are pliinly perceived just under the
skin. Said she, they used to strip us naked,
tie our feet together, cross our hands and
| swing us up by the wrists, then draw the c;t
o'nine trils through the left hand TO straight
en- the lish, and bring it down upon us 80 as
to draw blood at every stroke. Many a tine
when we were digging as hard as we could
with a heavy hoe, they would lay on the lash
till the blood would run down our backs to
the ground, and ! would look up to my God
and pray for them and feel happy We Of
ten sat up till midnight or break of day to co
to meeting, and got dreadfully whipped when
we came home, but we would go.
When her two oldest children were sold,
she resolved to fly to the North for refuge.
She soon found an opportunity to escape
with her two remlining children, and by
lishing the oldest of them to her back, and
placing the youngest in a sack at her bosom
she mounted some silt clutches to prevent
the dogs from seeming her track, and thus
this child of God took up her line of march
for freedom, and though, as she said, it was
dreadful hard work, yet through the good
hand of God, by great effort she reached
PENNSYLVANIA half dead with hunger and fa-
tigue, having slept by day and travelled by
night, and snatohing her food as she could
catch it. After a short tarry with a Quaker
family, she looked out of the window, and
10! her old master was coming. She cried
out. Ia! missA, there is my massa as true az
you live, ana there is the old white horse
used TO drive, and her limbs became like a
rag and she dropped to the floor. The Qua
ker FASTENED to her help, and raising a trap
door, lifted her up and put her children and
her down into a cellar hole. Her master
and his posse came in md searched the
house but found her not. A ter this, they
sent her and one child 10 New Haven, and
thence to the place where | saw her, where
she wept an talked, and | wept and prayed
With her. God save the peoplc-save tho
