arrived at this port yesterday from the coasts of
Africa, where She has been cruising for several
months in search of whales. She brought home

vicinity ofthe wandering Arabs, who frequently
came down to the coast from the Great Desert
Capt Ryder was once captured by one of them
while ON shore, and they attempted to get him

SLEEPLESSNESS.

1t is the result of over bodily or mental
effort. When a man works beyond his
strength, or thinks or studies more than rest
can restore, then, sooner or later, comes that
inability to sleep soundly, that wakefulness,
which is more wearing, and feeds the debili-
ty which first gave rise to it. The result is,
always tired, never feels rested, even when
he leaves his bed in the morning; hence he
wastes away, and finds repose only in the
grave; if indeed, insanity do not supervene.

cal means Avoid then, as you would vi

THE INFLUENCE OF A GOOD
LIFE.

The following admirable testimony to the
value and Influence of a life of uprightness
and goodness, is from the pen of DR.. Chal-
mcrs. 1t should be engraven in letters of
letters of gold upon the walls of every house
hold:
"The beauty of holy life constitutes the
most eloquent and effective persuasive to re-
ligion which one human being can address
to another. We have many ways of doing
good to our fellow creatures but none so
effcacious as leading virtuous, upright,
and well-ordered life. There is an energy
of moral suasion in a good mans life, pas
sing the highest efforts of the orators geni-
US. The seen but silent beauty of holiness
speaks more eloquently of God and duty
than the tongues of men and angels. Let
parents remember this. The best inheri-
tance parent can bequeath to a child is
virtuous example, legacy of hallowcd re-
membranes and associations. The beauty
of holiness beaming through the life of a
loved relative or friend, is more effectual to
strengthen such as do stand in virtues ways
and raise up those that are bowed down,
than precept, command, entreaty or warning.
Christianity itself, I believe, owes by far the
greater part of its moral power, rot to pre-
cepts or parallels of Christ, but to his own
character. The beauty of that holiness
which is enshrined in the four brief biogra-
phies of the Man of Nazareth has done more,
and will do more, to regenerate the world
and bring an everlasting righteousness, than
all the other agencies put together. 1t has
done more to spread his religion in the
world than all that has ever been preached
or written on the evidencies of Christianity"

THE LITTLE JOKER.

In the good old times in Kentucky, when
"substantial justice" was administered in a
log-cabin, after free and easy manner,
suit was brought to recover certain moneys
of which it was alleged plaintiff had been
defrauded by the ingenious operation known
as "thimble-rigsing." In the course of the
trial, plaintiffs counsel, who happened to
be an "expert," undertook to enlighten the
Court as to the modas operand of the per-
Torrance. Putting himself into position,
he produced the three cups and the "little
joker" and proceeded, suiting the action to
the world:
"Then, may it please the Court, the de-
fendant placing the cups on his knee h~s,
began shifting them so, offering to bet that
my client could not tell under which cup
was the little joker meaning thereby, may
it please the Court, this ball-with the in
tention of defrauding my client of the sum
thus wagered. For instance, when I raise
the cup so, your Honor suppose that you see
the ball."
"Snppose l see !" interrupted the Judge,
who had closely watched the performance,
and was sure that he had detected the ball
as one of the cups was accidentally raised,
"Why, any derned fool can see where it is,
and bet on it, and be sure to win. There
amt no defraudin' thar"
"Perhaps your Honor would like to go
V on it" insinuated the counsel.
"Go V? Yes, and double it, too, and
here's the rhino. It's under the middle
cup"
"I'll go V on that" said the Foreman
of the Jury. "And I, and I, joined in the
jurors one after the other, until each one
had invested his pile.
"Up!" said his Honor.
cup" it was, but the "little joker" had
mysteriously disappeared. Judge and jury
were enlightened, and found no difficulty in
bringing in verdict in favor of the plain
tiff, on the ground that it was the "derndest
kind O defraudn." His Honor adjourned
the Court, and ''stood for drinks all round,"
in consideration of being "let off, from his
wager.

MODEL EQUESTRIANIsM.

A correspondent of Life Illustrated, gives
the following as portion of the experience
of cadet at west Point:
"When I came back from my furlough,
my class had ridden for year, only for a
week or two. Nothing daunted, however,
by this, and blindly trusting to fortune, and
my own powers, buckled on pair of rusty
spurs, bound myself securely to an enormous
sabre with ponderous iron scabbard and
sailed forth. A dragoon brought me raw
boned, vicious-looking animal, which, after
some preliminary difficulties, I succeeded in
mounting.

THE "I CANT'S."

The sd cant's" are numerous and ubiqui-
tous. Their numbers are astonishing A
urious statistician estimates that about one
half of the children born into the world are
furnished by Nature with a remarkable lin
gual facility for the utterauce of this brief
and cowardly sentence. Neither time nor
experience enables them to abolish from their
vocabulary these fatal words, and from the
cradle to the'grave they drag slip-shod life
spent in accomplishing nothing, from the
fact that they lack the energy and will ne
cessary to accomplish.
These human drugs are recognizable any
where under any circumstances, and in what
ever garb. In the palace, but more often in
the prison, especially in such enlightened
States as ours, where prisons serve as a wei
come refuge to many of them, who are too
utterly worthless to get their own living, and
therefore force their creditors to get it for
them. And with this exception we can see
no other humane purpose in debtors prison.
Of the regal and ducal 81 cant's," history
furnishes too many examples to need illus
tration at our hands. Of titled members of
the order, of lower degree, the world is
cursed with less number than formerly, for
the reason that the race is dying of mere
insanity but in the great world, among the
masses, tits astonishing what host of drones
share the honey of the bees gathering. Re-
garding everything they do as hardship,
looking upon labor as an evil, it seems to be
sort of moral duty with such men to do as
little as possible, and get all they can for it.
.sI can't" is their shibboleth and shield
Propose to them the accomplishment of
whatever new work, anything out of the
beaten track, any little addition to what they
have done, and see ! how, like trained jack

EDITORSHIP.

We have known very learned gentle
man to obligingly bring us a contribution
with the remark, that as we were of course
continually occupied, it must doubtless be
quite an accommodation to receive good
article once in while-and on examining
the "good' article in question, we have
found three gross grammatical errors, divers
sins on awkwardness, and two words mis-
spelled, in the first and second sentences. A
lecture, which will bear printing as it is de-
livered, is an exception; and, in word,
there are very few men, who have not serv-
ed a regular apprenticeship to the types,
who can sit down and, without "halt or let, I"
express their thoughts readily and fluently
in writing. Yet with all this, we daily meet
with gentlemen who, because they have
made an occasional hit in letter to friend,
or have elaborated drawling story or poem
in some incautious paper, talk daringly and
dashingly of journalism, and graciously in
form us how they would make things fly
round, if they were only editors.
Singular-every man, no matter how stu
pid he is, always seems to be morally convin-
ced that if everything else fails, he can Ell

quence is, that difficulties are unappreciat-
