MY BOAT IS ON THE SEA !"
BY LILLIAN T. RoZELL.

BY LILLIAN T. RoZELL. My boat is on the floating wave, Its sails are just unfurled; To pass the reefs, each peary cave, Around the wide, wide world. 'Tis launched alone upon the main, At mercy of the wind; And o'er the trackless, drear domain, Will it the haven find? For aye! it's kissed this peaceful shore, Where wind nor storm may rave; Its moorings lopped-it rests no more--- 'My barque is on the wave !'' Adieu, dear home of "Forest Hill,o For have loved you long And mem'ry e'er for thee will trill Eolean sacred song. The star of Hope doth sweetly geam, And throws it chastened ray, To guide the barque, it's silver beams, And light it on the way. No voice Of love Is heard to blend In parting farewell dirge; Alone the tiny boat must wend Its path amid the surge. And will it find Hesperian climes, Isles of golden glory, Where mingle with seraphic chimes, The lays of olden story? Sail on, my barque! the worlds thy home Nor yet thy mast be riven; The gurgling waves still echo-'roam, The pilot now is given" Yes, hie away: yon star beams bright, Will guide thee safely there; But o'er the waves a note peals light, My soul is asking "where?" GAYoso HoUsE, June 29, 1860.

 What was Done by Congress

During the session of Congress, which closed on Monday, there were passed sev- enty-one acts of public character, one hundred and forty-eight private acts, and twenty-seven joint resolutions. Among the public acts are all the usual annual ap- propriation bills, the titles of which it is not necessary to repeat. The titles of sev- eral others we subjoin:
 An act making appropriations for the payment of invalid and other pensioners for the year ending Both June, 1860. For invalid pensioners under various acts, four hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars; for pensions to widows of those who served in the Revolutionary War, under the third section of the act of July 4, 1886, the acts the acts of July z, 1858, March 3, lS43, June l7, lS44, February ?, and July 29, lS4S, and second section of the act of February 8. 1853, two hundred thousand dollars: for pensions to widows and or phans under other acts, sixty thousand dol lars; for navy invalid pensions, forty three thousand dollars; for navy pensions to widows and orphans, under the act of August II, 1S4S, one hundred and twen- weight thousand dollars; for privateer invalids, one thousand dollars.
 An act amendatory of an act to regulate the carriage of passengers in steamships and other vessels. and for the better pro- lection of female passengers. That mas ter, or any one under him, who shall, dur ing a voyage, by any means, seduce, or have illicit connection, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction shall be punished by a fine not exceeding one thou sand dollars, or by imprisonment for not more than one year. Subsequent mar riage may be plead in bar of conviction. Section two forbids, unless by direction ef permission of the master, the visits of of- ficers or seamen to that part of the vessel assigned to emigrants, and on violation and conviction, the offender shall forfeit the wages of the voyage, and the master who shall permit such visits shall be fined fifty dollars for each offense. This sec ton is to be posted on the vessel in Eng fish, French and German. The bill also provides that the court may direct the pay ment of fines to the seduced female.
 An act directing that when any person shall indorse on any letter his or her name and place of residence, as writer thereof the same remaining uncalled for thirty days, or the time the writer may direct shall be returned by mail to said writer and the same are not to be treated as dead or advertised till they shall remain at the post office of the writer one quarter.

JAPANESE CLooK.-The Japanese make clocks, and herein, by the way, they have shown remarkable ingenuity and skill.-- Meylan gives the following account of clock which they made, and exhibited to the Dutch, while he was an inmate of De- gina: hi
 i" The clock is contained in frame three feet high by five feet'long, and presents air landscape at noontide. Plum and cherry trees in full blossom, with other plant, adorn the foreground. The back ground consist of hill. from which falls a cascade, skillfuly initiated in glass. that forms softly flowing river, first winding round rocks placed here and there, then running across the middle of the landscape till lost in wood of fir trees. A golden sun hangs aIoft in the sky, and turning on pivot indicates the striking of the hours. On the frame below, the twelve hours of day and night are marked. where slowly creeping tortoise serves as hand. A bird, perched upon the branch of plum tree, by its songs and the clapping of its wings. announces the moment when the hour ex. pires; and as the song ceases, bell is heard to strike the hour--during which operation mouse comes out of the gro,to and runs over the hill. Every separate part was nicely executed but the bird was too large for the tree, and the sun for the sky. while the mouse scaI- ed the mountain in moment of time."
 Whatever may have been the defects in taste, the ingenuity and skill in this piece of mechanism are very apparent. 8s

- Why should man be so terrified at the admission of night air into any of his apart ments? It is nature's ever-fowing current, and never carries the destroying angel with it, See how soundly the delicate little wren and tender little robin sleep under it's full and im- mediate influence, and how fresh, and vigor- ous and joyous they rise amid the surrounding dew-drops of the morning. Although exposed all night long to the air of heaven, their lungs are never out of order; and this we know by the daily repetition of their songs.

MOVEMENTS OF TIE kAi-nri,s.

RESTs AND HIRE-We, sometime since,
gave few suggestions to induce our readers
to prepare for the herd times Those sug-
gesti0ns were founded on the basis of an ex
peTience not very limited, and on wisdom
which can never be disregarded without loss.
a large number Of all commercial communi-
ties are forced By the circum-ta noes of the
CASE TO rent houses to live in and to hire
.help"-which means negroes, generally.
The people IN this city, who have not these
comforts Of their own right. have been in the
habit Of obtaining them 1T, what We consider,
high figures. for present times. Il IS the in
terest OF the land lord 30 get as mach as h.
can for his houses, aud 80 of the owners OF
slaves 1t IS the interest of the renter aud
hirer to get these things for as little a. posi-
BILE. With the beginning Of the incoming
year, the struggle will be wagd between
word to say to both. and it is thi-: We saw
that money is and is likely to b., one third
higher than II has been, and hence the form
er prices cannot be paid. The renter and the
hirlr must know this aud not agree to pay as
much as they have been in the habit OF doing.
If they do. they may be compelled to forfeit
their obligation. The landlord aud slave
owner should take notice that if they exact
promises which they cannot reasonably ex
pect to be fulfilled, they may lose all. They
should, therefore, accommodate their de
hands to the actual condition of Things.
Equal justice should prevail on both sides,
and truth, honesty and pInctuality presid-
both at the beginning and the end. Let the
renters and hirers moderate their pride to
TIA. exact standard of their real ability to
pay. and 1T the land lords and slave owners
come fairly down t. that standard; and all
Will go we'll. The ore will be able to pay
aud the other will receive his pay. But il
