Pleasure.

Society is not, and ought not to
be, exclusively above serious con-
Germs. The beneficent Creator Of
the universe would not have adapt
ed human beings to the enjoyment
of his gifts, unless He intended
that they should be enjoyed. With
the law which enjoins industry
comes the law of function. Why
should the eye be formed to per-
ceive natural and artificial beauty
if it is not to be used for that pur-
puse! Why has the capacity
to make instruments capable Of
emitting sweet sounds been given
if such sounds are not to be heard :
Why should the human structure
be capable of the sweetest melody,
and of graceful action, and of the
delightful expression, beaming from
innocent and heavenly countenances
if pleasure from such sources were
forbidden us! Why does the grape
ripen, and the silkworm toll, the
annual fleece return, the diamond
sparkle, the marble yield to the
chisel and the canvas catch and
preserve the inspiration of genius,
but to awaken human desire, ami
mate industry, and reward with
frutitionl 1t is the excess and the
abuse which are forbidden.

A Corner i'm Opium.

In the autumn of 1860 | joined
the steamer Thunder as fourth mate.
She was large ship-rigged pro-
peller, owned by well-lxnown firm
in Calcutta, and engaged in convey
ing opium from that port to Hong
Kong.
Quite as much gambling is carri-
ed on in China in regard to the ev-
er-huctuating prices of opium as
there is at present with gold and
railway shares in Wall street, New
York; and as no telegraphic com
munication exists between India
and the "aowery land" Spectators
have to anxiously await the arrival
of the vessels which actually bring
the drug into port, ere they can
form any accurate idea as to the
state of the market in Calcutta,
where the Government sales take
place monthly. Even the report,
sometimes circulated by fishermen,
that the opium steamer is laying
outside the harbor, will cause con-
siderable commotion among the
gamblers, who, deeming it probable
that her owners have already re-
ceived Calcutta advices, watch anx-
iously for any action on their part
which will indicate whether the
drug has advanced.
On the morning Of the eighth
day subsequent to that on which
the Thunder left Singapore. /

"The fourth mate had better car

said Capt. Fowler, as he descended
from the bridge when the steamer
was safely anchored.

chief officer.
"No! She would be recognized,

In obedience to the mates in
