Every mechanical' calling exercises a
pow ettol moral influence over iii follow
ers. Those who go down to the sea in
ships, above all those whose prosperity is
dependent on the stirring chances of wind
awl tide are apt to be impetuous, wilful
anti nayward as the elements wherewith
they have to stragOe. Even often soft of
heart, the sailor is hard of hand. He has
no leisure fur the expansion of those mil
der gradations of feeling which farm the
routtnott bond between titan anti mankind.
His vocation opposes a perpetual barrier to
commun;on with his fellow creatures.—
He loves few, and love them ardently ;
and his animosities are equally circum

which lie broulls in the desolation of that

and fill the mighty solitude around.
In almost all fishing towns, more espe
cially those of the continent, there is a
land population and a sea population
scrupulously distinct. In the French
ports of the Channel, such as,. the Calais
and Dieppe, the fishermen have a quartir,
their patois, their costume, their charac
teristic sports and dances, to which they
I adhere with all the prejudice of caste ;
standing apart front their fellow-towns
men, from whom they are divided only
by a street or a brook, as tenaciously as
Jew from Christian, or Musseltnan from
Flindoo. And thus their peculiarities of
nature become hereditary. Even in early
childhood, the fisherman's buy is as com
plete a miniature of the fisherman, as the
young shrimp of the old one.
During the summer season when the
Calaisans and mariners of the Pullet (the
fishing suburb of Dieppe) frequent on Sun
days and holydays, the same publie gar

One autumn however, a series of stor

of the hour, Pierre Romney seized upon
the season of adversity to indulge in vices

he betook himself to drink and dominon,
