Fresh Water Sailor.

You may not know it, but it is fact that
political influence very of;en gets officers in
our revenue navy, who never scarcely had a
glimpse at salt water before they shipped
with lieutenant's epauette.
One of these "cases," the son of we'll
to-do planter in the interior Of Georgia, went
down to the cutter at Savannah, went to sea
in her on three or four days cruise, and
then, on her return TO port, got leave to 60
home for a couple OF weeks, after more
"rocks," or something Of the kind.
When he got there he was the biggest frog
in the pond by odds. The "tales Of the sea-
and the dangers of those "who go down in
great ships;," which he told, were Munchaa-
senish to an intensity.
--Abeusss1Bianight, after all had retired to
rest, his father and his family were aroused
from their slumbers, by hearing buckets Of
water dashed against tho side Of the house,
in the part where the young lieutenaht's
apartment was situated. And every little
while they would hear him roar out to ne
gro servant:-
"More tempestuous, Pompey-more tenn
pestuous, you black imp"
They thought lin insane, and hurried to
ask what was the matter.
"l'm So accustomed to the delightful dash
of the waves against the side Of the vessel y
said he, "that find it impossible to sleep
without something as near like it as can get
in this benighted region" :.
There was, probably, some snickerlng"
about that time.

CHURCH GoING.-Attendance upon Divine
service is recognized as duty which we owe
alike to our Maker, to society and to our
selves. At this season of the year it is GER
tainly most agreeable pastime, and those
who lounge away the delightful spring Sab
baths in Incidence, clustered up in the dull
shadows of the house, deny themselves posi-
tive physical luxury-not to take into account
the responsibility that such course involves.
The revelation of God through bis works
on these quiet spring Sabbaths, is most i'm
pressive. He walks in the majesty Of love
and beauty amid the teeming glories Of the
landscape, now undisturbed by the din Of
labor and vocal with accents attuned to His
praise. The plough stands idle in the field,
the fire has gone out in the furnace, the fe.
vered pulsations of trade no longer agitate
the great heart of the city, an'l.he spirit Of
worship pervades the quiet scene. The whis.
pering breeze and singing birds have caught
The inspiration, and their soft voices seem to
CLINE with the peel of the church bell to
summon all Gods creatures to the temple Of
His praise.
Go, then, to the ministrations of the Sab
bath--set up an altar at some Of the shrines
of worship, and let the genial influence of de-
votion kindle into vernal beauty the garden
OF the heart.-Augusta Dispatch.

EQUAL JUSTICE TO Man AND WOMAN
Rev. f. H. Chap!n, in a recent discourse,
says:
"The refined woman recoils with yrtuous
scorn from her fallen. sister, but often well
comes him by whom she fell. We are told
that Christ said to the woman's accusers,
He that is without sin among you, let him
cast the first stone," but smitten by con-
science, they went out one by one. And
who is not in some way allied to this great
guilt7 The fact of common weakness should
at least make US nerciful. It is not just ttat
upon the woman alone should fall the blot Of
shame. The test is o great lesson Of charity
and mercy, and is great lesson Of justice
also. There is neither Justice, honor, nor deli
cacy in our modern custom, which scarcely
frowns upon the guilty man, while pouring
out all the vials Of wrath upon the guilty
woman. 1t may, or may not be true, as some
insist, that this foul cancer in society Gun
never be eradicated; hut We ought at least
to insist upon it that the shame shall be fairly
divided, that the SHINING man shall he branded
as deeply as the SHINING woman. Suppose
every guilty man bore the mark of shame in
bis face, in the market, or at church, how
long would the evil continue But the mean
ness Of man has thrust the whole shame upon
woman"

A VERY DOUBTFUL ESnoRsEMENT.-The
Cincinnati Gazette says that few days ago
business house in that city had occasion to
write to correspondent in one ofthe interior
towns of Indiana, and in closing their letter
asked the question, What is the standing
of Mr.. ?" In due time the correspon.
dent replied to the query as follows:
"If your question refers to MIR. --- .

at "the tail end of an execution" and " drum"

DREAM OF QUAKER LADY.-There is a
beautiful story, told Of a pious ol | Quaker lady,
who was addicted to smoking tobacco She
had INDUCED in the habit until it had in,
creased so upon her. that She not only smaked
her pipe large portion of the day, but fire.
queatly aat up in the bed for this purpose
during tile night After one of these enter.
tainmeints she fell asleep, and dreamed she
died and approached Heaven. Meeting an
angel, she asked him if her name WAS written
in the book of life. He disappeared but re-
piled on returning, that he could not find It.
"Oh," said she, do look again; it must
be there"
He examined again; but returned with q
sorrowiul face, saying it was not there.
"Oh,' sad she in agony, " it must be there
Do look once more ~
The angel was moved to tears by her en-
treaties, and again LETT her TO renew his search
After a long ahsnce, he came back, his face
radiant with jos, and exclaimed j.,
"We have found it but it was so clouded
with tobacco smoke that we could hardly see
it."
The good old woman upon waking, i'm
mediately threw her pipe away, and never
indulged in smoking again.

'HoLLANp WITHOUT usrRr LAws.-The
case of Holland furnishes striking proof Of
the correctness Of the theory OF free trade in
money. The rate Of interest has been, for
very long period, lower in Holland than any
where else in Europe; and yet is the only
country,in which usuary laws hos been alto
getber unknown, where capitalists are allow
ed to demand. and borrowers to pay, any rate
of interest. Notwithstanding all the violent
changes Of The government, and tie extraor-
dinary disturbance 6f her financial concerns
since 1890, the rate Of interest in Holland
continued comparatively steady. During the
whole Of that period, persons who could offer
unexceptional security have been able to Dor.
.ow at from to 81 per cent; nor has the
average rate Of interest charged on capital,
advanced Oh the worst species of security,
ever exceeded or per cent, except when
the Government was negotiating forced
loan. But in England where the law declared
that not more than five PER cent. should be
taken, the rate Of interest for money advanced
Oh the best lAnled security varied, in tho
same period, from five to Il or IL per cen! ,
or about five times as in Holland.

IMrEMpERANcE IN MADE1RA-The Hon.
James O. Putnam, in recent letter, makes
the following statement:
When in the Island of Madeira saw few
cases Of intoXication among the poorer people.
And had from nine years resident clergy.
man this explanation: That before the failure
OF the wine crop in Madeira formerly the
annual yield was about $4,000 pipes of wine,
now five or six hundred) there was scarcely
any drunkenness on the Island, but the, failure
had placed wine beyond the.reach of the poor;
they now cultivate the sugar cane, from which
was manufactured strong spirit now in com.
mon use and the result was, drunkenness
appeared as the wine disappeared.
The above is important, if true, as well in 4
social as moral point Of view. Is it fact
that the wine-growing countries of the world
are among the most temperate? And, if so,
is not the subject entitled to more than ordi-
nary consideration at tho hands Of the en-.
lightened and judicious friends Of the truly
noble cause of tempcrance2 We have heard
Il asserted as fixed truth that drunkenness
is uncommon where wine is plentiful, and
remember very well that it has been stated
that when the fountains Of, Paris were filed
