My First Night =Aahare,
/xArH-snDtm

Captains g. and c. were both at Smyrna
commanders Of fine brigs, bound to Boston.
This was to be the last trip Of both captains
who, having scrapcd together few thousand
dollars, intended TO remain on shore and get
spliccd in other words, to take unto them
selves wives. The period Of our history was
THE good old tia.eAr - Aa,,- eed chains a,,ri
wooden -ruln--la4s-r---rrr ittt1U1ty ndSCS,
were in fashion, and when shipmastcrs, as
we'll as sailors, were in the habit Of swearing
without rhyme or reason.
Now the two captains aforesaid were warm
personal friends, and entered into each 9th
ers plans of future anticipated happiness with
as much interest as il they had been born
brothers. They oycrhauled the bad habits
they would have To discontinue, If thcy wish
cd to appear respectable on shore, and among
these, swearing. they decided,must be cut off
first With this objec, in view, they bound

proinne word during the passage homo, and
to make themselves more eaEcful, drew up in
writing an obligation, that the offending par.
~ should forfeit to the other the sum of $3.50.
or, II both sinned, the amount of their obli-
cations should be appropriated towards "thc
conversion of the hcathen." They next dis
cusscd the use of rum and tobacco, but came
to the conclusion that these were ncccssaries
of life at sea, and that it would be time
enough to cut them or gradually after they
were settled on shore. One thing at a time
was considered well enough, especially as
neither OF the captains cared much for rum,
only as means Of drinking each others
health.
Full of good resolves and pleasant hopes,
they had parting glass or two of unadul-
terated Jamacia, and then set sail with n fine,
whole-sail breeze, bound to Boston. Their
briggs were both armed clippers of $50 tons,
well manned and found. 1t was delightful TO
see them skimming side-by-sidc out of the
bay, with sky-sails fore and aft and studding
sails ON both sides but when they cleared
the Grecian Archipelago the wind came ahead !
and they separated on opposite tacks, and
met no more during the passage.
The Crow was commanded by Captain G

ONE or THE BoYs-The Rev. H. w. b. a
distinguished clergyman of Brooklyn, was ta-

fifty miles distant, where he was to lecture
that night 1t was warm February dav ;
the sleighing was splendid. B. was on the
box beside Young drivers the teams of four
horses each, were perfection, and the result
was that the fifty miles were gotovcr in some
thing like four hours-pretty good railroad
time on some tracks But it didn't do the
teams any good and when, some days after,
knowledge of their condition came to the pro-
prictor of the line, he called up that particular
driver (Sam) and asked how he had come to
drive his horses that day at such a rate
"Wel" said Sam, "I had one of the boys on
the box with me; he wanted to see EN- 20,
