Lady Ossulstone and Sir John Tyrwhitt.
The Rev. .Ioash p. Saywell, ID. D, at
once placed himself on the footing of Il su-
per'ior courier, blending the spiritual and
the worldly in the happiest way. Had the
good ship gone to the bottom ii is scarcely
probable that soul would have been lost.
Tor even the peppery ST. Peter must have
surcumbed to the seductive pleadings of
this odd man eloquent OF the sea. No
wonder that ship owners are said to be

he is such a busy man, and they seem
quite HELPLESS to do ANYTHING without
