How Ships are named.

In the United States Navy, since the last
war the following rules have been observed in
naming vessels; All the names of the States,
or rivers, as the case may be. are put in a
wheel, which is turned and one name is drawn
out at random, which is the name Of the vessel
to be launched. Ships of the line are named
after the States. For instance, the Ohio
North Carolina, Pennsylvania, &C., all mount
seventy-four guns. Frigates are named after
American rivers-the Columbis, Raritan--
Cumberland, st. Lawrence, Merimac, Sabine,
Potomac, &c. When you see the name of a
river applied to government vessels, it is safe
to conclude that she will not carry more than
thirty six or forty guns. Sloops of war are
called after State capitals and other cities.-
Captain Ingraham's st. Louis, the i'll fated
Albany, the Vandalia, the Plymouth, the
jamestown, all belong to this class. Brgs
may be known in point by the name of some
noted naval commander who has died in the
service Thus the Decatur, Bainbridge, -
Perry, &C. Revenue cutters are named af-
ter members of the cabinet-thus we have
had the Cabinet, the Walter Forward, the
William NJ Meredith, the William a. Gra-
ham, the j, G. Dobbin, and probably now
have William L Marcy. James Guthrie.
&C. As many of the vessels in the navy
were built previous to the adoption of the
rule, there are, of course, some exceptions
to it. The Collins steamers are named after
oceans, and the Cunarders after countries.-
Bearing the rule in mind. one can very easily
recollect to which line the Baltic. Atlantic.
Adriatic. Asia, Africa, Canada, or America
respectively belong.

Life on the ocean Wave."
GA life on the Ocean Wave!'
The man who wrote it was green
He never has been to sea,
And a storm he never has ssen.
He never has seen wave
AS it dashed o'er the vessels deck,
He never has seen fire at sea,
Or been floating upon q wreck.
He never has been aroused
From this mornings gentle doEe,
BY the sound of the splashing water,
As it fell from the horrid hose.
He never has heard q man
Scrubbing right over his head,
With noise sufficient to rouse
From the grave the slumbering dead.
He never has seen fat woman
Growing thinner day by day
And leaning over the vessels side,
Throwing herself away.
While people look carelessly on.
Though iu tears the woman may be,
And unfeelingly say it is nothing at all,
Only the roll of the sea.
Sea sick he ue'er has been to his toes,
And crept into bed in his coat,
While every motion increased his throes,
And his feelings were all in his throat.
That man may have sailed in boat.
In some puddle or on a sound,
But if he has been to sea and wrote
Such a song he deserves to be drown'd.
