That boy lay sick almost unto DEATH:
but | nursed him all through his deliri-
um; and when his reason returned, and
he could sit up and talk, I bowed N.Y.
self before him, and humbly asked his
pardon for all the wrong [ had done
him. He threw his arms about my
neck, and told me if I would be good
to him he would never give me cause
for offence: and added, as he sat up
again, II am not coward couldn't
be dog"
From that hour [ never forgot those
words, and from that hour have new
er struck blow on board my ship. 1t
made me feel that they are men--that
/ SO regard them, and that l wish to
make them as comfortable and happy
as possible, and I have not failed to
gain their respect and confidence. |
give no undue license, but make my
crew feel that they have friend and a
superior in the same person For nine
years | sailed in three different ships
with the same crew. A man couldn't
be hired to leave me save for an Off
GERS berth.
And Jack Withers remained with me
thirteen years. He was my cabin-boy;
one of the foremost hands; my second
mate; and the last time he sailed with
me he REVISED the command of a new
barque because he would not be sepa-
rated from me. But he is a captain
now, and one of the best his country
ever afforded. Such, gentlemen, is my
experience in government and disci-
pline on ship board.

Potter Defending Freedom Of Speech.

From the Washignton correspondents
Of the New 7 ork Tribune:
WAsHINGToS, April 5, 1s6o.-Free-
dom of speech, on the Republican side
of the Chamber, was vindicated to-day
in the House Of Representative The
House resolved itself into a Committee
OF the Whole upon the State of the
Union, and Mr.. Washburn of Maine
was called to the chair After laying
aside dozen bills the Committee
reached that upon the tariff, W hich was
taken up for consideration. The floor
was assigned to Mr.. Loveioy of Illinois.
For three or four days honorable gen
tlemen, and especially those from the
South, had been sketching the Inca
ments of polygamy with free pencil.
Mr. Lovejoy, with an eye to arti,tic
harmony, now proceeded to pairt the
beauties of that other ''twin rclc Of
Observation-Disclosures The ratriarchs
from below the Potomac who gioat
over the black twin, bvG detest the
white, were eager to hear what Love
joy had to say In disparagement Of the
SHSi idS CiltSe
1t was sooE.s e,ident from the high
key IN which he pitched his speech,
that the eight weeks Of incessant abuse
to which one side Of the Chamber had
been subjected, during the struggle
over the speakership, had not been
thrown away upon Loyeioy. Apt al
ways to tree his mind, he had what
oar Methodist friends call uncommon
''liberty" to-day. When he commenc-
ed speaking, he stood quite on the left
hand Of the chair, and at remote point
from the democracy. Getting warm
with his theme, he advanced step by
step, as is his wont when reused, until
he reached the area in front of the
chair, and continued, as he uttered one
sentence after another, to cross gradu-
ally over toward the Democratic bench
es, his II ght arm, with the fist clenched,
being extended high in air-this not
being menace, as was evident TO ev
erybody, but simply one Of the gestures
of the Illinois orator.
In the ardor OF his argument, Love
JOY was approaching the line which di-
yides the Republican from the Demo
cratic side Of the Chamber. He was
uttering severe phillipics against slave
ry as a system. He was endorsing
and explaining and enforcing John
Wesley's declaration, that it is s'the
sum Of all villainies" He was neither
attacking nor alluding to persons, but
only to the ''institution." Doubtless
he was using sharp words, and was
looking straight at the ChiFalry. And
thereupon, Roger A. Pryor rose and
walked rapidly down one Of the aisles,
and confronting Lovejoy, and standing
close to him, said i'll substance, that he
would not allow him to utter such Ian
guage. At the precise instant Love
joys right arm was lifted on high, and
the fist clenched, being in the act of
enforcing his argument with an emphat-
ic gesture. In the twinkling Of an eye,
Mr.. John F. Potter of Wisconsin con-
fronted Pryor, and said, in substance,
to him, "Lovejoy shall speak! For
eight weeks we listened to your stuff,
in silence, and now we intend to say
what we please. Lovejoy shall speak!''
Pryor made no remark. ~. - ....---

HavingT-a q Lover.
BY ALICE CAREY.

Somebody loves me, | am sure,
/ think, | love him, too;
If foolish actions are proof,
Our evidence will do
] thought we both had common sense,
Yet manage as we may,
We never say the thing we mean,
Nor mean the thing we say.
We sat, but yestereve, alone
With twilight soft and dim,
And though he only mused of ne,
And of only him;
lie asked me for my thoughts, and said
That his were with his youth;
of course, / answered him without
4 lavish waste Of truth.
And always, when he takes kiss,
Nay, never frown at me
[ know that you've been kisscd-at least,
know you've wished to me
Yet such very wicked things
Are shocking to the good,
try to look as Mortified
As any lady should.
l wonder if the wedding ring
Would bind or break the charm
| can't see how in such case,
It could do any harm.
and then | know that married folks,
Though how / cannot say,
Do manage with their love SO we'll,
It's never in the way,
The very thought hiicts my mind
With such desponding fits,
That if l part with him, fear
I'll part with half my wits;
Aud il the priest should make us one,
In name and spirit, too,
! know I'd be beside myself,
So what am | to do?

The Cabin Boy.
THE SHIPMASTERS s STORY.

On my way across the Sound | fell
in with Two old sea ptains-Jo ohr
Strecter aud Asa Morton-with whom
! had some slight acquaintance Capt.
StrectCr was about three score. and
had followed the sea during The most
OF his life. Morton was considerably
younger, but still q seaman Of consid
crable experience. The subject of The
abolition Of tlogging in the navy came
lip in course of conversation, and Capt.
Morton expressed himself decidedly in
favor of that time honored institution,
the cat O nine tails.
Il am not prepared to say" remark
ed Capt. Strectcr in reply, e'that the
condition of our man Of wars men
would be IN every case benefited by
the abolition Of flogging, though I am
sure that it might be so. I mean that
the officers have it within their power
to do away with all kinds of punish
snent. | mean, OF course, for such
offences as are usually punished at
sea"
'For my part" returned Morton, II
shouldn't care to take command of a
ship, if the power of furnishing refrac-
tory seamen as thought proper were
denied me-
WELL" said Capt. Streeter, II used
to think just SO. In fact there were
few men more passionate and severe
than l. Men used to run away from
me, and on more than one occasion my
lie has been in danger from the yio-
lenco Of men whom | had punished
I used the cat and rope end almost as
freely as | used my tongue and used
to wonder how It happened that I al
ways had the i'll luck to get such bad
men.
When I was about forty years of age
I took command Of the ship Petersham.
She was an old craft, and had done
full as much service as she was capable
of seeing with safety. But her owners
were willing to trust a valuable cargo
in her, SO [ could not refuse to trust
myself in her. We were bound for
Liverpool, and nothing unusual hap
pened until we were about eight days
out, when we ran foul of small ice
berg. 1t was early in the morning. be-
fore sun rise, and not above six OF
eight feet Of ice was above the water,
it having nearly all melted in the warm
waters of the Gulf stream. I did not
think we had sustained much injury,
as the shock was slight; but was very
angry, and gave the lookout a severe
punishment, without stopping to in
quire whether he could have seen the
berg in time 10 escape it.
My cabin-boy was named Jack With
ers. He was fourteen years Of age,
and this was his first voyage. I had
taken HIM from his wido we'd mother.
and had promised her that [ would see
him well treated-that was if he be-
haved himself. He was a bright, Quick
and intelligent lad. l soon made my
self believe that he had an awful dispo-
sition: l fancied that he was the most
stubborn piece of humanity that had
ever come across. made up my mind a
that he had never been properly gov.
erned, and resolved to break him in
I told him I'd curb his temper before
/ had done with him. In reply. he told

II woman have one weakness NOR
marked than man, it is toward yen9ration.
They are born worshlppcrs--m"kers Of
silver shrines for some divinity or other
which, Of course, they always think fell
straig' Down from heaven. The first
step towards their falling in love with an
ordinary mortal is geneialIy TO dress him
out with all manner of real or fanco,l
superiority and, having made him up,
they worship him. Now, 8 truly great
man, q man really grand and noble in art
and intellect, has this advantage with wn-
men, that be is an idol ready made TO
hand; and SO that very painataking and
ingenious sex havo less labor in getting
him up, and can be roadg to worship hinr
on shorter notice. In particular is tbs
the case where a sacred profession and
moral supremacy are added to the inter
lectual. Just think of the career of celc-
brated preachers and diyines Of all ages:
Have they net stool like the Image TINT
'NcbuoLadnezza the King set up and
all women kind, coquottes ana firts not
excepted, have b9cn ready to fall down
and worship, even before the sound Of
cornot, flute, harp, sackbut, and SO forth.
Is not the faithful Paula, with beautiful
face, PROSTATE with reverence before poor
old, lean, haggard, dying ST. Jerome. in
the painting, the most splendid emblem
of woman's power of self-sacritice to what
she deems ne blest in man? Does not oil
Richard Baxter tells us, with delightful
single-heartelness, how bis wife fell III
love with him first, spite Of his long pale
face; and how she confessed, dear soul
after many years of married life, that she
had found him less sour and bitter than
she had expected? The fact is, womem
are burdened with foaiity, faith, rcycr-
ence, moro than they know what to do
with they stand like hedge Of sweet
peas, throwing out fnttoring tcndriIls
everywhere for something high and
strong to climb up hy, and when thoy
