MISTRESS OF THE SEAs.-The London
Shipping Gazette has this paragraph,
in the course of an article upor. the future
of America:
We have no desire. at present. to enter
upon any question of disputed policy, but
we wish to record our opinion, that the
empire of the seas must, before long, be
ceded 10 America; its persevering enter
prise, its great commerce and its accruing
wealth, are certain to secure this prize;
nor Will England be in situation TO dis
pute it with her. Without this crown
ing capital to it's power, the onward
march of the United States to what we
believe will be overwhelming greatness,
might not be so speedily accomplished;
but America, as mistress of the ocean,
must overstride the civilized world.

A PLEASANT SURPR1sE.-A young man
OF eighteen or twenty, a student in uni
versity, took walk one day with pro-
fessor, who was commonly called the
students friend, such was his kindness
20 the young man whom it was his office
to instruct.
While they were now walking toge t!l-
er, and the professor was seeking to lead
the conversation TO grave subjects, they
saw pair of old shoes, lying in the path,
which they supposed belonged to poor
man who had nearly finished his day 8
work.
The young ssuden, turned to the pro-
fesscr saying
LET us play Inc man trick; we will
hide his shoes and conceal ourselves be-
hind these bushes and watch 10 see
his perplexity when he cannot fnd
them"
"My dear friend" answered the pro-
fessor, "we must never ainuse ourselves
at the expense Of the poor. But you are
rich, and may give yourself much
greater pleasure by means of this poor
man. Put a dollar Iii each shoe, and
then we Will hlde ourselves.
The student did so, and then placed
himself with the professor behind the
bushes hard by. through which they
could easily watch the laborer, and see
whatever wonder or JOY he might ex-
press.
The poor man soon finished his work,
and came across the field to the path
where he had left his coat and shoes
While he put on his coat he slipped one
foot into one of his shoes; feeling some
thing hard, he stopped down and found
the dollar. Astonishment and wonder
were upon his countenance; he gazed up
on the dollar, turned it around, and look
ed again and again; then he looked around
on all sides, but could see no one. Now
he pu: the money i'll his pobket, and pro-
ceeded to put On the other shoe; but
what was his astonishment when he
found the other dollar His feelings over
came him, he fell uron his knees. looked
up to heaven, and uttered loud and fer
vent thanksgiving, i'll which he spoke OF
his wife, sick and helpless, and his chil-
dren from some unknown hand would be
saved from perishiag.
The young man stood there deeply at
fected, and with tears in his eyes:
Nov" said the professor, 'are you
not much better pleased than if you had
played your intended trick!"
80, dearest sir, answered the youth
"you have taught me lesson now that
I will never forget. feel now the truth
of the words which [ never before un-
derstood, III is better to give than re-
ceive.
We should never approach the poor
but with wish to do them good.
