ON THE SEA. Bear Brother Mears : “ Out on the ocean sailing.” So sing our Sabbath school children in one of their beautiful hymns of life. Yes, all out, on the ocean of life, sailing, sailing away, away, and will soon be over earths, seas, and continents, be yond present human vision and into that realm unseen and unrealized by mortal conqeption. Bishop Berkeley could have possessed -but a dim apprehension of his now so, fhmoiis stanza, was to mean: “Westward the star of empire takes its way,” &c., Our Leviathan of the deep is the steamer AvizoTiia of the Paoifio Mail Steamship Company—we glide along in a smooth sea, under a warm sun. off, and within sight of Cuba. One thousand human beings are here Crowded together, en route for an entrance into the Golden Gate, and to swell still more the augmenting tide on the far off Pacific coast—that Ultima Thule —that end of the earth, where Asiatic and Anglo-Saxon now meet and are to make a speedy decision as l to' which raco iB hereafter to rule the' world. 1 PARTINGS —HERB AND HEREAFTER, Never before have I enjoyed so'interesting and’ realizing a sense of this, “ Western Tide," las in the two hours previous to the departure of our steamer from her wharf at the foot of Canal St., N. Y. Whoever feels any interest in this changing' condition of our race and has hot previbusly wit nessed the scene, we advise by all means, should occasion offer, to spend two or three hours on'the North or East riyer, previous to, the sailing of a, California steamer. There and then; within,that’ brief space, oan .be read by eye and ear a volume quite os interesting and one much more instruc tive than flows from the brain and pen of Dickens’ —a volumeiof real and n'6t imaginary life. Here are lessons for the Statesman, a book'for the philosopher, with a sermon for the Christian.. The thousand persons harrying and bustling to be aboard for the Pacific, brought,to the wharf much: moreithan a thousand -friends to see them off, and to bid them the “ God speed.” Carts, drays, ex press-wagons with carriages of all descriptions came hurrying with their freights--—big boxes, little boxes, trunks, bandrboxes, budgets, bundles, shouts, screams, curses, jostlings together of drivers and hackmen—challenges of guards at entrance, authoritative Orders of policemen—all making up a scene to -be enjoyed and not soon forgotten. Previous to leaving, the vessel was crowded almost to suffocation with passengers and friends.. Soon a colored official passed with his. deafening gong-along promenades and through cabins, shout ing the meanwhile at the top of his voice; “All not going now loave de boat." Then were there embracer, sobs, tears; “ God bless you,” with, “Be sure to write and don’t forget us.” Such partings are a not uninapt type, or foreshadowing of the occasion when our entire race shall be, as ssmbled for final judgment and eternal separa tion. The ties which here bind even the ungodly together cause their possessors to feel “ There is a sudden pang of sorrow, When friends but part to meet to-morrow;” bat what tongue or pen can describe “ The pangs when forced to sever To meet no more, perhaps forever.” Happy, thrice happy, all who are Christ’s. They, and they only, when called to separate in the journey of life, can feelingly and , truthfully si“g, “When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain, But we shall still be joined in heart hope to meet again," Your correspondent looked in vain among the multitude of passengers for a familiar face—not even one he bad ever known or seen before. Yet without conscious selfishness this solitarycondi tion was preferred, and as alone seat, was found on the stern of the deck, he witnessed the last hand kerchief waived by those on shore, and those on deck, as we. mutually faded into dimness and our majestic oraft with its living freight glided as by magio-out into the sea. Very lonely, pleasingly sad, but not unhappy, a waive of hand with bounding impulses of heart went towards the lo cations of dear ones, and loved friends fast fading from view, but not from soul and memory. WITHOUT A TICKET. ’Ere we passed out of Sandy Hook and . the re turn of our pilot, the passengers were called upon to show their tickets. Why this seeming haste was not at first understood, but we soon learned it was to discover whether any had stolen on board without paying passage, and if so, be sent back by the pilot bout. Only one such was found— a young and delicate looking female without trace of abandonment or ill-intent. When chal lenged, she said she had no money j wanted if by any possibility, to reach California; hoped if off with the crowd in some way to get through. From what desiring to escape and what to reach was uot stated. Not rudely but sternly was she handed quiver ing with fepr down the narrow steps on the side of the vessel into the pilot’s boat and sent back to perhaps a burial of ruin in the absorbing Me tropolis. ° How many, very many, it is to be feared, fail to secure a proper ticket for the voyage of life — one which will pass them safely along and finally admit without challenge into the desired haven. More we fear than'one in a thousand as on our good, ship Arizonid.. , A. M. Stewart.
