On my way across the sound I fell in with two old sea captains John Streeter and Asa 'Morton—with whom I had some slight ac quaintance. ’ Capt. Streeter was about three score, and had followed the sea most of his life. Morton was considerably younger, but still a seaman of much experience. The sub ject of abolition of flogging in our navy came up in course of conversation, and Capt. Mor ton expressed himself decidedly in favor of that time-honored institution, the cat-o’-nine tails. . “I am Pot prepared to say,” rethnrkcd Capt. Streeterj in reply, “ that the condition of our iran-of-wars-nien will be in every case bene fited by the abolition ‘of flogging, thoogh I am sore it might be so. I mean that the offi cers have St in their power to do away with all kinds of punishment. I mean, of course, for such offences as are usually punished on ship board. “ For my part,” said Morton, “ I shouldn’t caro to take command of a ship, if tha power proper 'were taken from me." ~ T **•— v ‘ “Well/' said Cupt. Streeter, “I used to think just so., In fact, there were but few masters more passionate or severe than I was. Men used to run away from me, and on more than one occasion my life has been in danger from the violence of men whom I had abused. I used tha cat and the rope’s end almost as freely as I used my tongue; and I used to wonder how I had the luck to get -such bad men. . When I was about forty years of age I took command of the ship Petersham. She was an old craft, and had seen full as much service os she was capablsof seeing with safety. But her owners were willing to .trust a valuable cargo in her, so I wouldn’t refuse to trust myself. We were bound to Liverpool, and nothing unusual happened until about the eighth day out, when we ran foul of a small iceberg. It Was eaily in the morning, before sunrise, and not above’six or eight feet of iee were above the water, it having nearly all been melted in the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. I did not think we had sustained much injury for the shock was light; but I was very angry and gave.the lookout a severe thrashing with out stopping to inquire whether he could have seen the iceberg in time to escape it. Mv cabin boy was named Jack Withers. He ,was fourteen .years of age and this was his first voyage. I had taken him from his wid owed mother, and bad promised her that 1 woqld see him well treated—that was, if he behaved himself. I soon made myself believe that be had an awful disposition. I fancied that he was the most stubborn piece of human ity I had,ever came ecross. I made up my mind that hs had never been properly gov erned, aud resolved to break him in. I told him I’d curb his temper before I bad done with hiss. CORNING, N. Jn reply he told ore I■ might kill him if I liked; and I flogged him -with the end of the mizzen-top-gallant halliards till he could hardly stand. I asked him if he had got enough, and be told me I might flog him more if 1 wished it. I felt a strong inclination to throw the boy overboard, but at that moment be stag gered back against the mizzen-mast from ab solute weakness, and I left him to himself.— When I reasoned calmly about the boy’s dis position, 1 was forced to acknowledge that be was the smartest and most faithful lad I bad ever seen. When I asked him to do anything he won Id be off like a rocket; bat when I roughly ordered him to do it, then came the disposition with which I found fault.' One day when it was vety near noon I spoke to him and told him to go belo* pad bring up my quadrant. He was looking over the qunr ter. rail and I knew, he did hear me, and the next time I spoke, I ripped out an oath, and intimated if be did' not more I would help him. “ I didn’t hear ye,” he said Loan independ ent tone. *• No words,” said I. “ 1 s’pose I can speak," be retorted, moving slowly towards, the companion'way. Hir looks, words, and the slow careless way in which he moved fired ms in a moment sod I grasped him by the ecftlxp. .“Speak to me like that again and' I’ll flog youwhbki an inch of your life;” said I. “ Yon can flog awpy,” he replied;' firm as a rock. 1 ;■ ( Xai I eturned ni answer; so 1 closed the hatch and Went nirny. At ten o’clock I called again, and again I got no an swer. . I might have thought that the flogging had. taken away bis senses, bad not settle of the men assured me that they bad beard him, not an hour before talking to himself. I did not trouble him again nntil morning. After breakfast I went to the hatchway and called out to him once more. 1 heard nothing from him, nor could I see him—l had not) seen him since I put him down there. I called out sev eral times but he would not reply—ahd yet the same men told me they had heard him talking that very morning. He seemed to be calling on them for help, but he would not nlsk for me, I meant to break him into it. •’ He’ll beg be- j fore he’ll starve,” I thought, and sol I determ- j ined to let h : m stay there. I supposed ho had crawled forward to the forecastle bulkhead, in order to make the sailors hear him.| of the men asked leave to go down and look for him. but I refused. I threatened ko--!punish the first man that dared to go down.,' At noon I went again, nnd ns he did not an swer me this time I'resolved that be should come to the batcbaway and ask for me ere I went any more. The day passed away, and when evening came I began to be startled. I thought of the many good qualities the boy bad. and of his widowed mother.' He find been in the hole thirty-six hours, nnd all of for ty without food or drink. He must be too weak to cry out now'. It was bard for me to give up, but if he died there from absolute starvation it would go harder wifi me still. So at length I made up my mind to go nnd see the hatch taken off and I jumped OiiWß i/n'lb}! boxes alone. A little way forward I saw a sp Jack might easily have gene"down, point I crawled on roy hands and called out there but could get no a short distance farther I saw a wide s I had entirely forgotten, but whicb membered had been left open un nc break in the flouring of the hold, w have left everything that might slowed there resting directly upoi planking of the ship. To this place I made my way i down. I heard the splashing of and thought 1 could detect a faint the incoming of a tiny jet or streac I could sec nothing, but as soon at used to the dim light, I could dial faint outlines of (be boy at some di me. He seemed to be sitting on floor, with his feet stretched nut ngii 1 called out to him and . thought he “Jack, are you there?” “Yes, help me! For hearen’sl sake help me I Bring men and a lantern—the ship has sprung u leak !” I hesitated, and he added in a.more eager tone: “ Make ha»te—l’ii try and boldj it till you come back.” I waited to hear do more, but hurried on deck as soon as possible mid returned with a lantern and three men. Three of the limbers were completely wormeaten to thejvery heart, and one of the outer planks had been broken and would burst in at any moment the boy might leave it, whose feet were braced against the cask before him. Hnif-a-dozenj little jets of water were streaming in about himj and he was wet to the very skin. 1 saw the plank must burst the moment the strain was removed (Vom it, so I made my men brace themselves np against it before I lifted him up. Other men were called down with planks, and spikes, land adzes, and with much: care and trouble, we fi nally succeeded in stopping the lea i, and avert ing the danger. 1 The plank which was stove in was six jfeet long and eight inches wide, and wculd harp let in a stream.of water of that capacity, Itwtjuld have been beyond our reach long ore we'could have discovered it, and would hate sunk usin a very short time. I knew it nrusi -have been where the icebeg struck us. { Jack Withers was taken to the inbin, where he managed to tell bis story. Shortly after ' I put him in the hold, he crawled [forward end looked about for a snug place to He in, forlhis limbs were sore.

Some of the mien beard him, but thought he was talking to h&nsetf. {And there bet eat, with his feet braced, for fohr and twenty hours, with the water spurting ini tiny streams nil over him, drenching him to the skin. He had thought several times of go irjg to the hatchway and calliiig for help; but be knew that the plank would be forced in if he left it, for he could feel it heave benenth him. His strength was failing him—his limbs were rapked with pain—but he would not give up. T asked him if he should not have given op if liiad not come ns I'did. • He answered that he should not have done it while be bad life in him. fI6 snid he thought not of himself—be was rejidy to die—hut be would save the rest if he ild—and he saved us, surely saved us from a tery grave. That hoy lay sick almost unto death : but I rsed him with my own hands—nursed him •ough all his delirium ; and when his reason orned, and he could sit up and talk, I bowed reelf before him, and humbly asked bis par !i for nil the wrong I bad done him. He ew his arms about my nec£, and told me if ould be good to him, be would never give cause for offence ; and he added as he sat ‘‘l am not a coward—would not be a again, . ft From that hour I never forgot those words eld from that hour I never struck a blow on mrd my ship.

A man couldn’t he hired to leave save • an officer’s birth. And Jack Withers remained with me thirteen ars. He was my-cabin boy; one of the fore- mist hands; my second male; and the last tipie he sailed with me he refused the command of a new barque, because he would nolfbe sep arated from me. Testimony Against Slavery. "Men-huyera are exactly on a level with men stealersl Indeed you any, “I pay honestly for my goods; and I’ am not concerned to know how they are come by.” Nay, but you are; you are deeply concerned to know they are honestly come by ; otherwise you are partaker with the thief, and are not a jot hnnester than he. But you know they are not honestly come by ; you know they are procured by means nothing near so innocent as picking! pockets, bouse breaking, or robbery upon the highway. You know they are procured by a-deliberate species of more complicated villainy, of fraud, robbery and murder, t,han was ever practised by Mahonimeduns or Pagans ; in particular, by murders of all kinds; by the blood of the in nocent poured upon the ground like water. Now it is your money that pays the African butcher. You therefore are principally guilty of all these frauds, robberies and murders. You are the spring that puts all the rest in motion. They would not stir a step without you ; therefore the blood i f all these wretches who die bfl'ore their time lies upon your head. “The blood of thy brother crieth against thee from the earth.” 0 whatever it costs, put a stop to its cry before it he to late ; instantly, at any price, were it a half ol your goods, de liver thyself from blood guiltiness! Thy bed, thy hands, thy furniture, thy house and thy lands are stained with blood. Surely it is enough ; accumulate no mure guilt; spill no more the blood of the innocent. Do not hire another to shed blood ;, do not pay him for doing it.—Whether you are n Christian or not, show yourself a man 1 Be not more savage than a lion or a bear 1 “Perhaps you will say : “I do not buy any slaves; I only use those left by my hither.” But is" that enough to satisfy your conscience? Had your father, have you, lias any man living a right to use another as his slave ? It cannot be, even setting revelation aside. Neither war nor contract can give any man such a proper ty in another us be has in his sheep and oxen. Much less is it possible, that any child of man i should ever he horn ; a slave. Liberty is the right of every human creature, ussoon as he breaths the vital air; and no human law can deprive him of that right which he derives from the law of nature. If, therefore, jou have any regard to justice, to say nothing of ,mer cy, or of' the revealed law of Uod, render unto all their due. Give liberty to whom liberty is due, to every child of man, to every partaker of huaiatv nature. Let none serve you but by bis own act and deed, by his own voluntary choice. Away with all whips, all chains, all compulsion I Be gentle toward all men, and see that you invariably do unto every one, as yon would be should do unto you.”—John Wesley. 1 ' ' • - Rates of Advertising.
