"A life on the Ocean Wave!'
The man who wrote it was green ;
He never has been to sea.
And a storm he never has aeea.
He never has seen a wave
As it dashed o'er the vessel's deck.
He never lias seen a fire at sea.
Or been floating upon a wreck,

. He never has been aroused .
Trom this morning's gentla docs, ,
Ry the. sound of the splashing water.
As it foil from the horrid hose.
Ho never has heard a man
Scrubbing right over his head.
With a noise sufficient to rouse
From the grave the slumbering dead.
He never has seen a fat woman
Growing thinner lay by day
And leaning over the vessel's sida.
Throwing herself away.
While people look carelessly on.
Though in tears the wenan may be.
And unfeelingly say it is nothing at all.
Only the roll of the sea.
Sea sick he ne'er has been to his toes.
And crept into bed in his coat,
While every motion increased his throes.
And his feelings were all in his throat.
That man may have sailed in a boat.
In some puddle or on a sound.
But if he has been to sea and wrote
Sach a song he deserves to be drown'd.

of its Divine Founder, who had said: " 31 y

J for all governments, and in all its mission was
i to exert a puriiying, Humanizing ana eieva

J ings in subjects and rulers, from which alone
atneliorati'm could arise. The ends of human
government were limited to temporal .affairs,
, the maintenance of rights, t'e protection of
! property, the guardianship of honor, the pic- !

servation ot lite, and the perpetuation of lib-
crty. Ike Kingdom oi Christ was compati-
ble with all forms of government
The influence of the church on governments
was and always had been an indirect one, but
since it foundation it had been a powerful
means ot teaching and aiding men to
govern
themselves. Its influence had been, from the
ueginmng, to put uown uic nauguty, tne I
proud and the wicked, and to raise up and
foster virtuous merit, to abolish the oppressive '
distinctions of rauk and caste, to " loose the I
heavy burdened and to let the oppressed go
free;" to side with the cause of all who strug
gle for liberty and independence. The Church
he meant of course the Catholic Church,
for in the times in which he spoke there was
no other bad been charged with interference
in the affairs of government. But that inr
terferencc was not an essential rule of the
j Church, but was imperative and pressing nc
1 ccssity alone which gave rise to that interfc
! renco. The whole moral strength of niedias-
val Europe was embodied in the Church ; she
alone had the moral power to interfere be
tween the tyrant and the oppressed. She did
interfere and there
would now have been no
civil liberty but for that interference. "Toc
to civilkation had she not stepped forward to
interpose her potent arm. She bad opened
her sanctuaries as asylums from the brutal
persecution of kings and barons, had estab
lished the free cities and secured their fran
chises, and wherever she bas reared God's
altar, tho else helpless victim of tyranny found
safety in its shadow.
In support of bis statements the learned
orator quoted at some length from Gnizot's
History of Civilization, wherein all that he
claimed as to the civilizing influences of the
Catholic Church in the middle ages was con
ceded by this eminent historian and equally
eminent opponent to Catholicity. Catholic
deliberative assemblies were the models on
which rll legislative bodies were formed. The
Parliament of England owed its origin and
its form to Catholic councils. It had been
in these councils that Reason and Knowledge
the elder sisters of Liberty, bad been cherish
ed, even during, the night of the" dark ages.
The .spirit of oppression and absolutism
bad always oj -posed the Catholio Church. He
noted a circumstance illustrative of this . op
position.. When Gregory XIII. effected that
important change in the calendar, by which
several days were added to the computation
of time, in order to-restore to the beginning
of the yearTits "astronomical accuracy, the
change was readily adopted in Catholic coun-
j tries, mere reluctantly br ' Protestants; and
never by the adherents of the Greek and
Russian Churches. Russia still persists in
computing according to the Old Style, and
he humorously remarked that in consequence,
Russia was twelve days behind the age !
The Church had abolished serfdom wher
ever its influence extended. Amidst the
wails and cries of oppressed millions, there
was no overruling voice to be heard ' except
the voice of one old man, and he sat in the
Vatican " At the command of one Pope
the shackles had fallen from the limbs of ten
millions of white slaves. And here the lec
turer again adduced the testimony of Guizot
to show that the overthrow ' of serfdom or
white slavery in Europe was due to the Cath
olic Church. - There had been much unjust
censure bestowed spon the beads of the
Church for exercising the power of deposi
tion, excommunication and. absolution of sub
jects from their allegiance. . The exercise of
that power had arisen from necessity, and had
always been in favor of the oppressed. It
was not claimed as an inherent right, and
bad not been exercised for three centuries.
The Bishop here arrived at the most inter
esting portion of his lecture, relating to the
agency of the Church in the establishment
and protection of republics ; showing that in
every case where a republic had been formed,
the fact that the surrounding monarchies bad
respected its rights, waa due to the vigilance !
and support of the Church.- The Popes had
always listened to the voice of the people i
auu wuere incy naa aiiempcea to govern
themselves, they bad always had the sympa
thy, and often the aid of the Church. The
right of full representation, the main founda
tion stone of republicanism, bad been taught
to the people by the precepts and examples
of the Church. The Church had alwava
aimed her blows at tyranny in all ita forms.
Here he gave bis audience a brief review of
the histories of modern republics showiDs
that in every instance, except that of our own
their founding was due to the fostering care
of the CatholicXhurch ; and that even in our
case, our liberties were wrung from the grasp
of Protestant England by the aid of Catholic
France while none were found more devoted
in its service during the Revolution than those
from Catholic Ireland. If republics were
inclined to degenerate, as some are fond of
teaching no part of that degeneracy could be
attributable to Catholicism. His description
of the little republic of San Marino, that
"glitters like a jewel among the Italian
mountains, exisung in tne oosom of the
Papal States, and maintained in its integritv
and purity by the influence of the Church
his allusion to Tell, the republic be founded.
! and the Catholic Chapel erected to his memo
of absolutism in Europe. It was more than i
one hundred and fifty years before England
was restored to the fcamo liberty she enjoyed
before the year 1517 or the beg"inninj of tie
I Reformation
When the Church was shorn
of her influence, tyrants were left free iu their
oppression, and the union of Church and State
m Protestant kingdoms left the people long in
hopeless oppression.
In conclusion, the Bishop thanked his au
dience for their kind attention, and addressed
ed a few pathetic words of congratulation and
; encouragement to the members of the Catho

tenances of tho listeners, and the announce

How Ships are A'anicd. '
In the United States Navy, since the last j
war the following rules have been observed in '
naming vessels ; All the names of the States,
or rivers, as the case may be, are put in a
I wheel, which is turned and one name is drawn
out at random, which is the name of the vessel
to be launched. Ships of the line are named
after the States.
For instance, the Ohio,
.. i o n .'.
Aorth uarouna, l'ennsyivania, vc, au mount
seventy-four guns. Irrigates are named after
American rivers the Columbir, Raritan
Cumberland. St. Lawrence". Mcrimac. Sabine.
Potomac, &c. When you see the name of a
river applied to government vessels, it is safe
to conclude that she will not carry more than
thirty six or forty guns. Sloops of war -are
called after State capitals and other cities. j
Captain Ingraham's St. Louis, the ill fated ;
Albany, the Vandalia, the Plymouth, the
Jamestown, all belong to this class. Brigs
may be known in point by the name of some
noted natal eommander who has died in the
service. Thus the Decatur, Bainbridge,
Perry, &c. Revenue cutters are named af
ter members of the cabinet thus we have
had the Cabinet, the Walter Forward, the
William 31. Meredith, the William II. Gra
ham, the J, C Dobbin, and probably now
have a William L. Marcy, a James Guthrie,
&c. As -many of the vessels in the navy
were built previous to the adoption of the
rule, there are, of .course, some exceptions
to it. . The Collins . steamers are named after
oceans, and the. Cunarders after couu tries.
Bearing the rule in mind, one cau very easily
recollect to which line the Baltic, Atlantic.
Adriatic. Asia, 'Africa, Canada, or America
Tne Iludton Hay Company, r
We find in the Xutional Intelligencer UtB
following account of this remarkable oompa
oj; . " ' ,
" Iu the year 1670 Cbarlea II. granted If
royal charter to Prince Rupert and a n urn bar
of noblemen a tract of wilderness which coot
prehended nearly one-half of the North Amor
ican Continent, and by the grantees was orga
nised the Hudson's Bay Company, receiving
its name from the inland sea in the north,
discovered by Hudson. By the charter tba
grant was called " Rupert's Land," and tra
bounded on the west by the Pacific ocean and
the Russian possessions, on the north by tha
Arctic sea. on the east by tho Atlantic, and
on the south ' by an immaginary.line running
np the St. Lawrence and throogh tho Great
Lakes towards the setting sun. . The object
contemplated by the charter were to discover
a passage to the bouth sea and to obtain furs,
minerals, and other commodities; and so
strongly was it worded that it gave to the com
pany this territorial manor in perpetuity and
an exclusive right of trade forever.
Stupendous as was the gift of the Crown of
Eogland, comprehending over three, million
of square miles,' its lawfulness bas never been
questioned, but it had been recognixed by va
rious official documents and acts of Parlia
ment. In 1S47 the capital stock of the cor
poration was 400,000, and the number of
proprietors 239. Its affairs aro managed bf
a Governor, Deputy Governor, and a commit
tee of seven, and subject to their direction
are a variety of subordinate officers, such a
chief factors, chief traders, and others with
judicial powers. The fur and peltry traffic of
the company is regulated by what is called a
deed-poll, and the expenses of tha establish
ment are all paid out of the trade. The com
pany have not, as some suppose, mo
nopoly of the importation of furs and peltries
in England, and sales ara made by public auc
tion several times each year at the company's .
premises in London. In 1842 the company
had 136 establishments, besides hunting ex
peditions and shipping, affordin; employ
ment to 25 chief factors, 27 chief traders,
152 clerks, and about 1200 regular servants.
besides the occasional labor in boating and
other services of a great number of natives.
From the earliest times the profits of the com
pany have varied with tho caprices of fashion,
some years yielding fifty per c at, and now
und then nothing at all ; but the average prof
its for the last few years have amounted only
to about six per cent. ,
According to the testimony of mtny trar
clers the authority which the company exer
cises over the Indian tribes has been very ad
vantageous to them. In 1843 the number of
church missionary stations was six, and of
schools there were seventeen, while tho sale of
intoxicating liquor is strictly prohibited thro
out all its borders. Wherever the operation!
of tho company xtend, its servants bar
