The EillbustsnRdgar Stewart.

This vessel, which left New
London, Conn, on the 2Sth of
March last, with a cargo of
arms and ammunition for the
Cuban insurgents, arrived at
Baltimore, from Key West, on
the 31st ult. After much sail
ing to and fro and lying in port
since last March, she finally
succeeded two or three weeks
ago, in landing her cargo at
Porto Limo and Porto Aquero,
on the Cuban coast. The cargo
consisted of 1000 Remington
rifles, 1000 Springfield rifles,
several thousand percussion
caps, 1000 hand grenades, five
tons Of powder, medicines, med
icine chest, psovisions, and
other necessities for the strug-
Cling Cubans. The Stewart
will remain in Baltimore two or
three weeks for the purpose of
repairs, but what her move.

expedition, was Captain Sem

States Navy, but who left that
service in 1868 to take COM
mand of steamers intended to
run the blockade of the Span
ish gunboats off the island of
Cuba, in which pursuit he has
been quite successful.

How the cuakors Marry

The ceremony rs very simple.
1t is nevertheless a form signi-
ficant and Impressive. The first
public steB after mutual en-
gagemept is the reading Of the
names ofboth the man and the
woman, together with the an
nouncementof their espousal,
by the clerk. This step is termed
"Giving that is, handing
in their proposals of matrimony.
AT the next regular quarterly
meeting tht case is further
acted upon, If no valid objecl
tions to,tbel union have mean
Htime been aseertained, they
$Pass Me6tfng asitiS termed.
The third or last step is at
subsequent meeting for wor-
ship. The time having arrived
for the ceremony, the man
walks into the fe m a i e
apartment of the church, goes
to the woman and conducts her
to a designated seat in the
mems side of the house. After
sitting a few moments in ST.
lence, the parties arise, take
each other by the hand, and
thus declare: GIN the pres
ence of the Lord, and those as
sembled, we take each other
to be husband and wife, promis-
ing, with divine assistance, to
be loving and faithful to each
other until death separates u.s."
The ceremony ended, a certifi-
cate of the marriage is read be-
fore the congregation. This GER
tificate is signed by the con-
tracing parties. 1t is thus
seen that the Quakers seek to
exercise great prudence in their
matrimonial alliance. And well
may they do so, Much trouble
often comes to churches through
unhappy marriages. Such
troubles are usually the most
serious and lead to the gravest
results. By bringing church
discipline to bear against care
less courtship and hasty mar
riages, the Quakers avoid
serious troubles and insure, in
the main, the truest and hap
piest matrimonial relations.

Anecdote Of Rowland Hill.

Rowland Hill was once driv-
en- by a storm of rain into a
village inn, and compelled to
spend the night. When it
grew late, the landlord sent a
request by the waiter that the
guest would go to bed. Mr..
Hill replied, 'G have been wait
ing long time expecting to
be called to family prayer"
"Family prayer! [ don't know
what you mean, sir; we don't
have such things here" '1n-
deed! then tell your master I
can not go to bed until we have
had family prayer" The wal
ter informed his master, who in
great CONSERVATION bounced in
to the room occupied the faith
full minister, and said, "Sir, |
wish you would go to bed; |
cannot go to bed until | have
seen all the lights out! | am so
afraid of fire" $50 am l." was
the reply, "but I have been ex-
pecting to be summoned to
family prayer" "All very
good, sir, but it can net be done
at an inn.' Indeed! then
pray get me my horse, | can
not sleep in a house where
there is no family prayer"
The host preferred to dismiss
his prejudice rather than his
guest, and said: 81 have no
objection to prayer, but l don't
know how" "Well, then sum
mon your people and let us see
what can be done" The land
lord obeyed, and directly the
astonished domestios were upon
their knees, and the landlord
was called upon to pray, "Sir,
| never prayed in my life, |
don't know how" "Ask God to
teach you," was the gentle re-
ply. The landlord said, folding
his hands, Good teach US how
to pray" SFhat is prayer, my
friend" cried Mr., Hill, joyfully
ego on" 81 am sure l don't
know what to say now, sir"
eyes you do; God has taught
you how to pray. Now thank
him for it." "Thank you, God
Almighty, for letting us pray to
you" "Amen! Amen" ex-
claimed Mr.. Hill, and prayed
himself Two years afterwards,
Mr.. Hill found in that village a
chapel and a school, as the re-
suit Of the first effort Of family
prayer at the ''Black Lion"

The review of the whale
fishery for 1872, published in
the New Bedford STANDARD
shows i'll success as to pecuni-
ary returns. The home con-
sumption of whale oil has fallen
off greatly during The year Just
closed, while the foreign de-
mand has been very small. OF
thoone hundred and fifty six
wholers at sea, one hundred
land eleven are from New Bed
ford OF the sixty-live finished
voyages, only two or three Of
have resulted ii handsome
profits to owners, anyofwhom
have lost money. The whal-
ing fleet is steadily decreasing
Iin numbers, principally BY the
transfer Of many Of the vessels
into other business. The
sperm whalers were only mod
erately successful, and the
other branch Of whale fishing
can not be called successful.
During 1872, 1924 barrels Of
oil were taken, and 210,876
pounds ofwhalebone, which in
all respects is a great falling
off compared with the returns
Of the previous year. There
are two hundred and four
whalers owned in the different
ports Of the country, and the
figures given above include ali
'of the great whaling ports.
