Nautical Terms.

An old star" has recently prepared
hand book of nautical terms, for the use
of persons who intend to follow the sea.
In order to correct popular belief, our
author gIavely asserts that the berths on
board ship do not necessarily add to
the census. The hatchways are not
hens nests. The way of the ship is not
the extent of her avoirdupois. The
boatswain does not pipe all hands with
a meerschaum. The ship does not have
a wake over dead calm. The swell of
a ships side is not caused by dropsy.
nor is the taper of a bowsprit a tailow

dug out of the ships log. The crest OF
a wave is not an indication of its rank.

of politeness. The sails of ship are

Children.

In our early youth, while yet we live
only among those we love, we love with.
out restraint, and our hearts flow in every
look, word and action. But when we
enter the world, and are repulsed by
strangers, forgotten by friends, we grow
more and more timid in our approaches
even TO those we love best. How de.
hghtful to us are the caresses of little
childreni All sincerity, all affection,
they fly into our arms and then, and
then only, we feel our first confidence,
our first pleasure.

remarks that we're made by Mr.. w. E

were had that the wounds would prove
fatal. His family was telegranh.d to,

GREELEYS FINANCIAL POLICY
What Mr.. A. r. Stewart Thinks
AhuOl In.

The New York Herald gives the sub
stance of a conversation with A. L.
Stewart, E-q. the rich dry goods mer-
chant OF that city, with reference to the
effect which Mr.. Greeley's election
would have upon the financial interests
of the country. We quote:
Mr.. Stewart-What is it you want to
know
Reporter-Well, we want to know
whether you look forward to Greeley 5
election "a likely to produce uneaslness
and financial difficulty in the financial
world?
Mr.. Stewart-I do not. Why should
it lead to trouble?
Reporter-We'l. it is said that Mr.
Greeley's peculiar financial views would
he the reverse OF those entertained by
Mr.. Boutwell,.
Mr. Stewart-Can YOU tell me wha,
are the views OF Mr.. Boutwell,? ? |
never could learn that he had any sre-
cial views or policy. | supposed his
course was controlled by his judgment
OF existing circumstances. So tar az
his policy consists in purchasing at q
large premium Government bonds not
vet due, / think the sooner that is ter
minated the better Tor the country; and
the sooner it is understood that the
Government intends entering upon this
policy, which at sone future time, no
matter how remote, will lead to re-
sumption in specie payments, the better
it will be for everybody. Continuing
the course that has heen pursued the
last four years will never lead US to
specie payments, but leaves every mer-
chart at the mercy of gold gamblers
Reporter-Then YOU have no fear
that the election Of Mr.. Greeley will
produce any financial difficulty?
Mr.. Stewsrt-None whatever.
Reporter-What do you think Of his
present views on the tariff question
Would they not, if carried out by a
change OF the tariff, lead to some con-
fusion with the merchants?
Mr.. Stewart-Not at all. On the
contrary, l think Mr.. Greeley leaves
that question where it always should
be le't-wilh the people, through their
members OF Congress, uncontrolled by
party dictatiOn. l have ALWAYS con-
tended that the tariff laws, to which
our country looks for its revenue, should
be dictated wholly by rules OF equity
and justice. and so as to bear equally
in their application upon all interests
and all classes. Take of the party
whip, allow the members Of Congress
10 consult the general interest Of their
respective constituents in framing the
tariff laws, and believe we would find
every interest much better served and
protected than it now is.

the Government is ANXIOUS to establish,
