Sabbath at Sea.


Calmly o'er the sleeping ocean
Comes the dawn of Sabbath day;
Clouds that ragged in wild commotion,
Glide like distant sails away:
Voices of the Sabbath morning
Sill the tumult Of the sea,
AS the mild tones of the Saviour
Gained the waves Of Galilee.
1t is evening. and in ocean
Sinks the fiery sun TO rest,
As n weary child at twilight
Seeks n loving mothers breast.
M sweet vesper bells are pealing
Ger the sea in mellow chime:
Spirit notes Of holier feeling
Whisper prayers of evening,time.
Starry isles of light come drifting
From the dark depths Of the sky,
And the Southern Cross is lifting
Up its emblem grand on high.
Gazing on that holy symbol,
Earth.warm spirits soar away,
Seeking rest awhile in Heaven
With the dying Sabbath day.

AMERICAN LITERATURE.

A Literature, purely American, must not
passively submit to an abject imitation of
that fostered by the institutions of any 9TH
er country. Liberty and independence,
united to pirtue. are the groundworks upon
which our Government is founded. Loose this
bond Of union. and you at once destroy the
bcau,ifu! fabric of our institutions. If virtue
be Of 80 great importance in sustaining our
proud position. then all Republican Literature
should aim At establishing this, upon firm
er foundation, and its defenders must write
regardless of the scorn of those corrupt gov.
ernments which would exult in the down
fall Of this Republic. Thus their testimony
will be more dear to posterity, from the ut
ter want Of selfish interest with which it
WAS given.
The genius which is called into full ac.
tivity and vigor by the longing desire of
fame, must be Interested: that stimulated
by the desire of gain, must be mercenary
The many walks OF busy life, and the rug
ged paths Of labor, will not permit many TO
devote u life TO Literature; hence not a few
OF the most beautiful effusions in poetry and
prose, are the offspring Of minds whose in
fioence is more powerfully felt in the great
action Of our nations progress. Others
there are, who. like the violet, just raise
their modest heads from their domestic
duties. to throw sweet flower into the
worlds path. IL lost, or unheeded, of course
there is no regret.
The great free school system, or system of
general education, now scattering its radiant
besins over our land, will soon make knowl-
edge of easy access to every cottage home,
and the glorious result will be, that national
intelligence viii form the basis Of American
Literature. From the lovely valley, imbed.
ded among the green hills, as well as from
the mountain top, will spring forth geniuses
who will eIectnIy and startle the world.

CARRYING VERDICT BY STRArAoEM-
The following plan is stated TO have been
pursued by some officials at the late Wor-

cisinn Of II refractory jury, who were locked
up to consider their verdict:
1t was past supper time. and the Court
officials had no relish TO pass the night in
waiting upon the l2 good men who were
so excessively conscientious. A large dish
of becf.s,eaks. fried with onions, giving off a
BODY Of aroma sufficient to fill the largest
hall in England, was brought into the pas.

mems prison. The Bailiff, who wished the
stand-outs" at Jericho opened the door ;
the cover was taken off .he dish the aroma
of the steaks and onions Hoated in il invad
ed and pervaded every square inch of the
Black Hole, and the jury's nasals were vio,
enlIy affected. Mere mortal Englishmen
could not long stand out against such a re,
membranee of supper. a second opening
of the door and an advancement of the dish
enabled the jury to find II verdict.

IleInana We have seen two or three in
our day, but real gentlemen are exceedingly
rare. A gentleman is one who treats eve.
rybody with respect, whether he be black or
white, low or high, poor or rich. lie does
not bow to wealth, scrape his knees 10 hon.
or, nor hold his tongue when he sees wick.
edness in high places. He desires to make
every one happy around him, and never
gives just cause of offence to any one. You
always receive from him civil answer to
your inquiry, and lie kindly imparts to you
any information in his power. He will not
say a word to injure your feelings, or allude
TO a subject to pain your heart. Whatever
may be done, he will not manifest angry
feelings, or use unbecoming language. He
uses no profane or indecent words, smokes
no cigars in your presence, nor spits tobac
CO juice On your floors. He is the snne
kind and accommodating individual f;om
