such quiet watch as his promised to be- He
had scarcely closed his eyes, however when a
sound wrung in his ears that made him spring
to the deck, and at once dispelled all DISPOSE
ton to slumber 1t was the clear trumpet-like
voice of the captain himself haling the fore

your cluelines led along, and the men all at
their stations"
Ay ay sir! sung Garnet in reply, and
then muttered to himself, i" here's the devil to
pay, and no pitch hot What is the meaning
of all this, | wonder? Has the skipper seen
old Vangs streak Of brass too? or does he hope
to coax the wind out, by raising such breeze
on deck" and he stepped upon shot box, and
cast another long, searching glance into the
western horizon, but there was no signs there
which to his inexperienced eye boded any
change of weather
q Focastle, therew again sounded from the
quarterback but it was now the voice Of the
lieutenant Of the watch, haling through the
trumpet.
o Sir" answered the mate.
&" Send the fo'castle men a!oft to furl the fore
sail. Quarter-gunncrS and atterguard, do YOU
hear. lay aloft-lay out-furl awaym
These and other similar orders were quickly
obeyed, and stiffness again succeeded But the
attention of all OH deck was now aroused; and
every one watched in silence for some less qucs-
tionable forerunncr of wind than was yet visi-
bic to their eyes. They all noticed, however.
that the sky had grown thicker and of dingi-
er hue, and that not single star peepcd thro'
the gloom But there was not breath OF air
yet stirring. The tOpSails continued to flap
heavily against the mastS, as they were swayed
to and fro by the motion of the vessel; the low
er yards creaked in their slngS; and the ship
headed now one way and now another as she
yawnod and swung round completely at the
mercy of the swell The seamcn gathered in
groups at their several stations, and waited in
silence the result which all now began to ap-
prehend.
But while these feelings Of indefinite fear
were entertained by those on deck, the watch
below were disturbed by 10 such anxiety. The
officers in the gun-roon were variouSly occup-
ed according to their taste and inclnat.ons;
some amusing themselves by reading, some wr-
ting, and others stretched upon the chairs or
in their berths dreaming away the intervals of
rest. The mdshipmen in the steerage had gath
cred round their meSs-table, and were engaged
in lively chat and repartce, and in cracking
nautical jokes and witticisms upon each other
Their discourses was plentifuy interlarded with
seaphrascS; for these Juvenile sons Of Neptune
however slender their seamanship in other re-
spectS, have commonly great yolubty in rat
Ting off the techncais of their profession, and
a surprising facility in applying them to the
ordinary topics OF conversation. With the
omission Of single letter, the distich describ-
ing Hudibras might be applied to them, or, if

HoNE PoLIcY.-If you wish to keep your
town from thriving, turn the cold shoulder TO
every Young mechanic or beginner of business;
look upon every new conner with a Jealous
scowl; discourage all you can; if that don't do
decry his work, and rather go abroad for wares
of his kind than give him your money. Last,
though rot least, refuse to patronize the town

Dr Frank lin wrote to the Minister the thanks of the colonies for the maternal care of Britain to the country, strongly manifested in this instance and, as satisfactory proof oi American gratitude. sent him ! collection oi Ratilesaakes. which he advised him to have introduced into his Majesty's gardens a, Kew. in naorder that they might propagate and increase-assuring him that they would be as beneficial in his Majestyss English do- minicns, 3s the British aud Irish conricts werat America! Thus 1t would appear that in t,s. days of Franklin, the tmnsporta- tion to this country of conricfs and paupcrs, was considered as crying an evil as it is a, the present day.
