Speculations Upon the Unknowab1s Char
aeteristics OF Imperfect Civilization.
Most of us who have thought at all have
been perplexed by the problems ofour own
nature, and greedily give attention 10
thinkers who are able to show us our own
thoughts in clear and agreeable language.
AS long as that setting forth ofour thoughts
IS calculated to make us wiser, or more
prudent, or more contented, there can be
no objection to our being entertained there
with; but when it is so colored as to make
us rebelious,or reckless, or callous, ii must
be productive of much harm. Clever
authors, when they are enjoying the graft
fication of popularity, do not, perhaps,
sufficiently consider that their success has
been obtained by unsettling the minds and
embittering the existence of many who,
but for them. would have remained
undisturbed in their belief. And readers,

pleasure OF agreeable and sympathetic
reading than yield TO the charms Of authors

4 Yachting Cruisc.

A yacting party of ladies and gentlemen
belonging to Boston and Philadelphia has
just returned, after delightful and event
full cruise in West India waters, lasting
since December TO- The yacht Gitana, or
the Gypsy, whose name was suggested by
Mr.. Edward Shipper, of this city, is one of
the most complete pleasure crafts now
alloat. 1t belongs to Mr., William +. Weld,
jr., whose fathers estate was inventoried
few days ago, before Judge Hanna in the
orphans court, ut $l55iS,07S. The party,
which was chaperoned by Mrs. Vain
wright OF Boston, was provided In the most
generous and cOnsiderate manner by Mr..
Weld with everything that could possibly
help to make the voyage agreeable. There
was crew OF twenty, commanded by one
of the most competent sailing masters
that could be found. There was French
cook, AID skilltul servants, and accom-
plished ladies' maids, Every detail was
thought out in advance, so that books and
other means of occupation and diversion
were provided, and so anxious was Mr..
Weld that no one should have any personal
expense that even postage stamps were fur
nished. At Bermuda, Havana and other
places, entertainments were given on
board, and the party in return were the re-
cipients of the most lav.h hospitality from
officers OF foreign vessels and garrisons and
at the houses and places Of wealthy resi-
dents and civic dignitaries. Balls were
given in their honor, and in all aspects,
! they We're treated with almost royal consid-
GRAFTON. Entering each port they put out
the flags OF every nation, and were in turn
saluted both by cannon and flags from tor
elgn men-of-way. One ofthe few things they
could not carry around with them contnu-
ously in warm climate was ice, and ,as il was
one of the most essential things, they often
had to rcplenish their supply. In going
into one of the West Indian ports they
were refused admittance. because their bill
of health was not entirely satisfactory. In
answer to their signals British mRn-of
war sent oil boat aud provided them with
| ice. Almost immediately an order came
from shore putting the man-ofwar in quar-
antino for ten days for its commanders
courtesy, and the yacht had to keep them
company. The martial tars and the ladies
fair managed, however, to make quarantine
lite pass quite tolerably. Miss Pennington,
of Philadelphia, one OF the ladies on board,
was in delicate health when she started,
and returns almost entirely restored by the
| trip. From Key West the party came to
Philadelphia in special train provided by
Mr.. Weld Philadelphia Times.
