THE SAILORS FAREWELL!
BY REV. N. HEsToN.


And must we take the parting hand2
Oh, then, forget me not
While ye are ON the firm dry land
Bound by the oceans countless sand,
And home extends her magic wand,
Think Of the sailors lot.
Round you will gather loved ones, too,
And hope with flowers your pathway strew,
And every scene be bright and true,
In loue's romantic cot!
Then think ofame, when round the hearth
M Ye shall fondly rally,
Or when with hearts of harmless mirth,
Ye mingle with my friends of worth,
Or wander through the fields of earth,
And in humble valley.
While seated round the fireside,
Where Friendship, Love and TRUTH abide,
And am on the ocean wide,
Oh, then, still think Of me
Yes, think Of me for must meet
The rough pillows fury,
And with sailors firmness, greet
The wave that 'gainst our vessel beat,
And spread or fur the snow-white sheet,
However dark and stormy.
Y For while SO snuglyye are housed,
And with the smiles Of home amused,
Pm 'amid the storm by winds aroused,
Sweeping o'er US wildly!
Oh think Of me when far away,
Upon the dark blue sea,
Rolling amid the ocean spray,
Meath the smiles of sunny day,
Or in the mists Of twilight gray,
AS the wild minstrelsy
Ofwhistling breezes, urge US on #
To the destined port, and anon,
The half hid moon, so pale and wan,
Smiles on us silently!
Oh think Of me, cold water men,
a For am one ofye, sa
I'll never enter .Alchy's den i
l'll bow TO Bacchus ne'er again,
For now among the temp'rance men,
stand redeem'd and free!
Henceforth dash the bowl away,
Dawns now for me brighter day, a
And sunny hope her cheering ray,
Flashes across the sea!
People Of God still think Of me,
AS far away go,
Fain would longer stay with ye,
To mingle in your company,
And breath the air Of pieiy--
Sure antidote of wo! M
But no, 4 cannot even stay, Saa.,
To hear you tell Of endless day;
Then pray for me, as far away
Over the wave go

BENEFICIAL ASSOCIATIONS.
We wish 10 say a few things with regard 10
them in their different organized forms, SO far
as we have knowledge to speak adyisedly on
the subject tg sq.,s
10. OF. With regard to this institution,
/, we may say few words, We know, in speak
\ ing of it in any way, weshall give occasion TO
y remarks, but we are not sure that they will be
unpleasant. This institution, like many others,
has been condemned, without being examined
First, because it has signs, and pass words,
and obligations, some OF which can only be,
known to the members of the order. Secont-
", because it is not charitable institution be-
yond its own memberships. Thirdly, it is
dangerous because ofits combined influence and
may be used to subvert governments. Fourth
ly, because if its designs are benevolent, they
should not be kept from, the public.
These are the general objections urged
against this institution, and, indeed, against
many others Of like character; but there are al
SO particular objections, such as that it is de-
= moralizing in its tendency, and calculated to
subyert the faith Of Christianity, because it
substitutes the care and watchfulness over the
welfare OF its members for the provisions Of
Christianity, and claims to do what Chrstiani-
sty neglects. These objections may be well
urged, perhaps, in view the practice and Il e
opinions Of some who belong to the ORDER bnl
none OF them can ever be urged successful
against the order as it may be known in its
forms and ceremonies, by its members and its
published principles. The fact is, it has no
secrets that concern any one but its members
TO know, nothing that they pledge themselves 10
perform that will, or can, injuriously affect
others. All that they are, in their connection |
with the world or community in which they |
live, the world may know-the world does
.know-if they will only look and acknowledge
it. No combination but to relieve distress, no
obligation that will compromit any duty they
owe to Goo, to their country, their neighbor, or
themselves in any of their relations. II is the
same thing with regard to many other associa-
tions with which we happen TO be acquainted.
They all profess TO reverence the Divine Be-
ing; they do all profess to regard the Bible as
his revealed will, and 10 be governed by its pre-
cepts They all profess to favor virtue and frown
at vice. None of them, in their constitutions, or
forms, or ceremonies, make Christianity, as it
is TO be understood by the particular theology
of any Sect a test of becoming or continuing
member. But here we must be understood.
We do not mean that they reject Christianity;
far from this; they do acknowledge the Chris
iianity of the Bible, love TO God, and good will
TO man.

THRYLLixc. The N. Y. Express relates the
following case Of almost miraculous preserva-
ton from death, On Sunday afternoon sol
der took small skff, with his wife, and pull
ed across 10 Whitehall. He then undertook 10
pull back--the tide being strong. the river full
of floating ice, the wind northwest, and the
weather exceedingly cold, the thermometer
down nearly 10 zerol-his boat drifted down
with the current, and night set in. With a
hope to reach the shore, he left his boat and
undertook 10 cross from cake TO cake. He I'M
fortunately fell in between the cakes, but sue
sceeded IN regaining his position on pretty
large cake OF ice. on which he drifted about
the harbor all night, and was rescued the next
luorning by boy, at ike Narrows, on the Sta
ten Island side. He was taken on shore with
his limbs badly frozen, and after being warmed
and comfortably protected, he was sufficiently
recovered to come TO the city.

MANUFACTURES AT THE SOUTH.

We find in the 81 Monitor" printed at Tusca-
losa, Alabama, an account of Conversational
meeting held ii, the Capitol, by eminent men of
the State. on the subject of establishing Manufae-
tories. The following, being the substance of what
Judge Collier said, will interest our readers:
1t was peculiarly proper thai the people
of The South shonid enter extensively into
the manufacture of Cotton goods. The
raw material was in our midst, inviting
US To make it available for the uses of man.
While the price at our own doors was
five or six cents the pound, We were saw
ed an expense of at least twenty-five per
cent, which northern manufacturer was
required to pay for transportation and 9TH
er incidental charges. Add 10 this the
practicabiity Of purchasing at least six
months in the year, The raw material as
the manufacturer needed il, and if the
planter was assured that he conld find
an advantageous home market, there
would, in all probability, he enough kept
on hand during the entire year to supply
the demand. Here, too, the climate was
so mild, that The cost of houses fnr opera
lives would be much less. Besides these
advantages, manufacturers. instead Of al
ways making an outlay for supplies, could
advant 'geousiy exchange goods for Cot
ton. Nor was this all, the price of labor
was less in Alabama than in New Eng

SANTA FE EXPEDITION.

Much interest is felt in the fate Of Col. kear-
ney's overland expedition to Santa Re. The
editor of the Chicago Journal, who has himself
travelled over all that barren and desert region,
thus deals in predictions of the hardshlps, II
not fatal consequences, which await the expe-
dition:
Well grounded fears are entertained that Gen.
Keaney's command to the Northern provinces
of Mexico, will suffer for supplies before it re-
turns, and we base our belief somewhat upon a
personal knowledge of the country into which
this force is to penetrate.
As vet the Government have provided as far as
we can learn, rations scarcely beyond the neces.
sites of the troops on their march, though addi-
tional supplies will go out with the reinforcement,
1000 and upward strong, now mastering at Fort
Leavenworth Yet no adequate provision has
been made to sustain this force. Soon II will
be too late to cross the plains with supplies
until Spring, and in the mean time this de-
tachment Of the invading army, after cXhaustng
the provided rations, will be put to its trumps to
make a decent live of it in their new home a.
mong the mountains.
We presume calculations were made that the
country would furnish supplies, from the fact
that Paymaster with his pockets crammed with
"war warrants" accompanies the Commissary o
Subsistence department. When the force reach
es Santa Fe, which is to be its headquarters, il
is in bleak, sterile and mountainous country
where the inhabitants raise scarce sufficient tc
subsst on themselves. For the most part the
living of the Mexicans in and about Santa Fe
consists ofgoat's milk and pounded corn. Hun
dreds of them never taste ofmeat from one years
end to the other. There are no meat cattle in
the counry-no hogs; the only meat that is used
at all being mutton. OF this there is tolerable
supply if the Mexicans do not take it into then
heads to drive their sheep off as our army aP'
proaches, and nothing is more natural. As fol
game, the extent to be found within sabbath
days journey" of the city of the ''Holy Faith,
might be summed up in dozen long-earedd ra6
bits, or so-perhaps a black-tailed DEER and witt
chances two to one against the hunter, beal
might occasionally be killed.
The route of the division thence westward

GENERAL CHAT BY LIGHTNING.

At one o'clock, P. NJ. precisely, the Telegraph
Line was connected through the whole distance
from New York to Buffalo, passing through the
following stations, viz: Troy, Albany, Utica, Sy-
racuse, Auburn, Rochester, Buffalo, being a to-
tai distance of 5O7 miles.
Upon turning the adjusting screw of the mag
net by Prof. Morse, all things were found right,
and Prof Morse sent his compliments to all the
operators on the line.
The first to answer was Albany.
The compliments of the Albany Office TO Prof.
Morse and Mr.. Wood.
Utica Office wishes to be remembered to Prof.
Morse and Mr.. Wood.
Auburn Office sends compliments to Prof.
Morse and Mr.. Wood.
Buffalo sends compliments to Prof. Morse
