QUARTERS A SEA SKETCH. BY ROGER STARBUOK. Daylight was fading; the shadows of even ing trembled upon the waves, and the masts of our ship, the Mermaid, looming up in the gathering gloom, looked like three great sen tinels watching for signs of a tempest. Leaning over the weather-rail forward, old Tom Wendels suddenly heard behind - him a noise which resembled the groan of some hu man being in distress. He turned, but saw no person near him. His shipmates of the watch had all gone aft, and were seated un der the round-house, spinning yarns, play ing. cards, an d otherwise amusing them selves. Tom was therefore much surprised ; and the mysterious noise being repeated, h e quickly 'crossed himself' —for, being of Spanish descent, he was superstitious, and believed that 'the cross' was a 'safcgaard' against all evils, both 'spiritual and tempor al. Bleapwbile the groaning continued; it seem ed to proceed from the forchold. and muster ing courage, Tom concluded that the noise, after all, was not that of a spirit, as he bad at first supposed, but , I Simply an expression of pain from some poor fellow who was jam med between a couple of casks or barrels in the hold. Accordingly, •he :threw off the hatches, and springing though the opening, glanced round him. Who's making that noise ?' he inquired. • 'Any body hurt . 'Help I help ! for God's sake, ' help•l' shrieked a half smothered "'voice. The speaker suddenly paused - ; neither words nor groans came' from him • again.— Tom's inquiries . as he eontioned'h is' search, were nnansWereZ „.. Be shaddered, and again superstitions' feel-• lags ereptinto his heart, - The sweat came oat upon 'his brow; he procured a lantern and lighted it with a trembling hand. The luild rays streamed - 6er• every part "of, the hold, btlethe'tdd sailor saw nothing except ropes, barrels, casks, 4e. He listened, for a repetition of the. noises mentioned, but in vain; and ,tihuddeting;• he, extinguished his lantern, and scrambled to theleek, fully,con vineed that he'litid'been 'victimized' by some evil . spiiit.

Wind, and to run along the yard-arios, when the ship was rolling heavily, with the aetiv ity of a eat or monkey. • The men mourned for him as they would hail) done for a little brother; . they all bs lieved that he had fallen overboard and been lost during the night. . .Suddenly, , it struck old Tom that the groans he had heard might have come from the spirit of the poor lad after be was drown ed, and with ram idea in his mind, he be came very silent and thoughtful. 'What are you thinking of?' inquired a shipmate; neOer saw you in such 's brown study before." Tom explained in a few words. Ills com panions who had gathered around 'him, then exchanged dismal glances. The mate, who was an eccentric man, 'clapped' a hand to his brow and staggered back as if be had .een s.o "God help MM! God help the lad!' he gasped; 'l—l—am afraid that—' He paused and motioned toward the hold. 'A way you go, men!' he exclaimed, 'away you go, and take a look into the lower hold.- 1 sent the boy there last night, to knock the head away from a half-filled liquor cask, and get a jug full of brandy for the steerage!" r ggitig - their aboulde rs heavy hearts rbshed forward, and throwinc , of the hatches were soon peering into the lower hold. A cry of horror broke from all: for their wont fears seemed realized the feet of little Lampwiok projected from the opening in the top of the Caek. ''Ay, it's as I thoughtl' cried the mate, 'he has fallen head foremost into . the liquor and is drowned! God have mercy on his poor little soul!' The men seized the protruding ankles, and pullina' ° the body from the cask, were sur prisedto perceive that the eyes moved and the lips trembled-.-----All-the spectators shout ed for joy; ten minutes after they assisted the boy to his feet. • `Thank God! thank God!' cried .the mate 'he is alive? he is saved! but- how he con trived to live in that liquor—' 'My face did not tough the liquor,' inter rupted Lampwriok. 'Owing to the cask, be ing partly turned over upon its lower edge, I was able with my hands and,arrns to keep my head from going under although owing to the way my limbs were cramped in that narrow opening, 1 found it impossible to get out of my uncomfortable situation. 'lf I had only known it was you; if you'd only been able, in fact, to groan and sing out a little .louver last night!' cried old Tom, now somewhat ashamed of his. Superstitions fears. ...I'd soon have had you out of your uncomfortable quarters.' We will add that for weeks afterwaid Lampwick's adventure was t h e principle topic of conversation i a the ship,—New York 'Weekly. Very Good. The Richmond "Religious Herald tells the following good story : Many years ago, a Baptist minister was called to the pastoral care of a church' in a famous old Baptist Association, He had just preached his first sermon, and the body had gone into conference with the young minister presiding. It was suggested by an . aged brother that it might be well for the church to fix upon some amount'as the sala ry of the pastoryso that he might know what to depend upon; but instantly objection was made all over the house. "It is time e nough'," said they, "to•think about that.— We might fix upon a sum and not be able to raise it. Let that remain undetermined, and the church unclmmitted." With this disposal of the salary question they passed to the next itenr of business, whith was to decide on what days the' regular service of the ehureh should be held. All eyes were now turned to the new pastor, expecting that he .would state definitely what days ho could be with them. In answer to their in quiries on this point, ho remarked, in a care less mariner : "Brethren, 1 want,my preach ing days to stand on the same footing on whic'i you have put the salary. I can't cow tnit myself to come any particular day, for it may not be convenient always to do so.— 'Sometimes I will come - the first Sunday in the month,.then again I may happen here on the second or fourth, and. then again, I may not find it onvenient to come ~at all all— Just leave this matter as you have done. the salary-,wunsettled.' an a -few momenta. a specified amount had. been fixed upon as' the pastor's salary, and the pastor himself had announced definitely - the days upon which he would officiate..'

Lets us be kind and cheerful spoken, then, in our homes. , ' A Safe House to Sleep In A gentleman of high standing, from Phil adelphia, was once travelling in one of the Southern States, and being belated one eve ning after a long day's ride, was compelled to turn into a house on a solitary plantation, and ask for.sheiter and hospitality for the night. His request was granted. 'ln' the course of the evening be thought he noticed something reserved in the master of the house, which awakened his suspicions. At length ho was conducted to his chamber, which was next to tho family loom. There he thought over the' circumstances which a larmed him, till his excited imagination was filled with thoughts of nightly robbery and assassination. He proceeded to barricade the room as well as be could— He fidtened down the windows and pilled up against the doors the tables, chairs, and everything that was moveable in the room. While thus en gaged, words uttered in a low voice caught his car at the keyhole, and listened. The man of the house was engaged in family prayer. Ainong other intercessions, he was praying for "the stranger whom the Provi dence of God had unexpectedly brought to lodge beneath his roof that night." Though not himself a Christian, the traveller knew that the prayers ofChristians are like guardian angels to the 'abode in which• they are offer ed up, and a sure pledge of safety while with those who offer them; and he went to bed, and slept soundly and sweettly,•feeling that he was in no danger in a house where God was feared and worshiped; Words of Wisdom The mornin g s and evenings are just at this time decidedly cool. During the day the sun is warm, and hence, persons who have regard for their health, should be particular ly careful about their clothing. Sudden chills or severe colds' caught through carelessness, may result in serious if not fatal consequen ces. Tho ripening corn and yellow fruit herald the rapid approach ot'autunyand 'in a little time .ho summer will be ended, "the time for the singing of the birds will be pass ed, and the voice of the.turtle heard no more in the land." Thus our days and years glide 'rapidly away, mature manhood with its cares and anxieties is upon us, and old ago and its infirmities, and finally - the night of death, will come in their order. If is a sad and sot emu reflection, yet nevertheless true, that of the-great mass of living and moving human ity around us, but little will be left a quar ter of, a century hence. The green earth and the golden sky, with the changing seasons, will be greeted. by other eyes; other hands will pluck flowers from the wayside, and oth er voices tune their notes of praise and re joicing. We should make all we can of the brief period allotted to us here, always` hav ing in view the importance of a strict obser vance of those rules which will meet the ap proval of our fellow men- and the favor of heaven.

'Sir?' was responded in a taint tone from the bed beside me. 'The schoolmaster's in that bed.' With' ono loud yell, and 'Oh heaven?' she landed on the floor, and fled with the va pidity of a deer up stairs. She never heard the last of that I can tell you. HELL BROKEN LoosE.—lt appears from all accounts that hell has broken loose. and sane devils are roaming through the South ern States. • The assassination of the offi cers of the Freedmen's Bureau is quite com mon. Murdering negroes is quite a pastime. Even shooting down negro women for steal ing a few ears of corn is justified by the re constructed (?) newspaper organs, when they know there is civil law to punish theft. These thing cannot remain long. Peace an d quiet must be restored. The hell hounds of the South that drove the country into war are now inciting their deluded fol lowers to deeds of the most hellish barbari ty. The streets of New Orleans have flown with loyal blood. Union men are fleeing North for safety. The best citizens of the State have been slain by a rebel mob, ineit-• ed to their hellish work by a rebel May or. If we know our heart we desire peace, but we begin to fear that thetie rebels are in for another war. If such be their desire the Northern States and the loyal people of the Southern States are ready for it. When we conquer them again, as we assuredly will,wo will have no trouble in reconstructing them. We will conquer them so effectually that they will stay conquered. All the recon• struction necessary at the close of another war; if the rebels force it on us, will 'bo to survey and sell the lands of the rebel States. May God in his mercy keep us from another war, and may the devils, which are legions, be cast out of the South before the Govern ment is forced to destroy their agents.—Ex change.

He was holding forth in presence of many of his devoted brethren, when he undertook to de scribe the process of Adam's creation, said be : "When God made Adam he stooped' down, scraped up a little dirt, wet it a little, 'warmed it a little in'his hand, and squeezed it in de right shape, and den, leaned it • a gainst the fence to dry' crop date,' said a Universalist .darkey.-- \ 'You say dat arirde fustest man ever made.' 'Yes sat,' replied the preacher with an air of dignified contempt ludicrous. 'Den jus telly feller whar dat-ar fence come. from.' 'Hush,' said the sable minister, 'a few more questions like dat would spoil all de feology in.cie world,' A Brahmin who had quitted his wife and this world, appeared at the gate of Brahma's paradise and asked for admission. Th e god inquired:—"Have you been in , purgatory?" "No, but I have been married." "Come in, then; that is the same thing.". Another defunct Brahmin made his ap, pearance just at this moment, and asked Brahma to let hint also into Paradise.— "Why," said the god, "have you been to pur gatory?" "No, but neither.had the last applicant." "Aye, true enough, but he had been mar ried." "Then I am as good; nay, a better fellow than he is; I have been married twine." "Then .clear out with-ye; this is not your destination; paradise is nut made for fools.".

Soon the infiamation began to subside, and by P; eepino• e' on the crushed beet, changing it for a Treshene as its virtue seemed to become impaired, 'a speedy cure was effected: Simple but , of. fectual remedies like this should be known to every one.
