At once I sprang from my hammock—lit tle Dick was a sort of protege of mine. Ile was a pale delicate child, said to be an orph an, and of a gentle nature; and from the first hour I joined the schooner my heart yearn ed towards him, for I, too, had once been friendless and alone in the world. lie had often talked to me in confidence of his moth er, whose memory he regarded with holy reverence, white to the other boys of the ship he had little to say ;jar they were•rwie and coarse, the delicate and sensitive Ot ten, when they jeered him for his melancholy, -he-w-oulti-go-aiyar-t-by-hiLes-elf - a - trd • . c never complained of his lot, though hi com panions imposed on him continually. Poor lad! his heart was in the rave with hil_lost parents. I took a strong interest in him, and had lightened his task as much as possible. Dur ing the late fight I had owed my life yo him, fur he rushed to just as a sabre-stroke was leveled at me; and by interposing his feeble cutlass had averted a deadly brow. In the hurry and conlus;on since I had quite forgot. ten to inquire whether he. was hurt, though at the time, I had inwardly resolved to exert all my little influence to procure him a mid shipman's warrant in requ;ttal for his ser -vice. It was with a pang of reproachful agony, therefore, that I leaped to my feet My God . I exclaimed: 'You don't mean it ? Ele is not dying ?' fear, sir,' said the messenger, shaking, his head sadly, 'that he cannot live till morn ing.' 'And I have been lying idle here?' I exclaimed with remorse. 'Lead me to .him.' 'lle is delirious, but at intervals of lunacy he asks for you, sit,' and as the man spoke we stood beside the bed of the boy The sufferer did not lie . in his hammock, as it was hung in the very midst of the crew. and the cloe air around it was to stifling that be had been carried under the open space of about fur feet square.

How calm had it smiled down on the wan face. of the dying boy. Occasionally a light current of wind— oh I how deliciously cool in-that pent. up hole —eddied dlivin the hatch Wa y. and lifted the, dark chesnut locks of the sufferer, as with his bead reposingon the lap of an old veteran, he lay in an unquiet slit Mber. His shirt col lar was unbuttoned, and his childish bosom, white as that of a girl, was open and exposed. Ile breathed quick and heavily. The wound of which he was dying had been intensely painful, but within the last half hour had somewhat lulled, though oven now his thin fingers tightly grasped the bed clothes, as if he suffered the greatest agony. . A battle-stained and gray-haired seamen stood - beside him, holding 'a dull lantern in his band and gazing sorrowfully down upon the sufferer.

"The cu-education of the bexes is a char leteristic teature of out camtuon•school sys tern, in contradistinction ef the European system of national schools Everywhere, in the United States, except in a few - of the large cities, the boys and gills are educated together in the public schools. What is the result? Are le ready to admit that . in France, where the boys and girls are educe' ted apart, the standard of morality is higher than with us? Are wives and tiamtliters purer and truer ? Is woman more respected there than with us? We are no believer either in celibacy of the clergy or the sepa rate education of the sexes. We were born and bread in that beuighted corner of the Onion where commonschools (vere tablishml, where they have since been cur toted and sustained, and where men and-we -men have been taught to think for them selves. Our pleasantest memories of school ' days are associated with the bright-eyed lit tie girls who canoe to school on summer mann ines, bringing May fl avers and pconiea in their hands. We loved some of those pret ty girls with the fulness of our boyish - feel. incr. We have never forgotten them. No b,7tly ever intomed us it was dangerous to play with them, to ramble with diem round the pastures after flowers and strawberries Nd impure thought ever sullied our affection for them, for no moral reformer had poisoned our mind with the notion that b nys and girls are innately,. vicious. Bare-footed farmer boys were all of us, with tanned faces and hands used to toil ; and farmers' ghls—red checked and barelowed too, and dressed in homespun—taught us our first lessons of faith in the purity and nobleness of woman htod They were our best teacher , . They Made the nit sehoon-hou , e pleasant with the ' sunlight of their face, and merry with their ringing laughter. They softened our rough natures. We chosed the girls we liked best at the spelling matches, and never were the worse for it We hauled the girls on sleds in winter time, and slid on tha ice together, and none of ITS ever thought of evil. Some of us even fell in love, and, had dim notions, in sentimental moments, that array in the fu ture we should marry some of these favotite girls; but the fancies were never realized, and they never did us any harm. Behool mister and school-mistress an forgotten; the old school house is in ruins. Two of the boys who sat with us in school, after "life's fitful fever," rest in peace in this land, where they found graves irdtead of gold. • We turn with vain lon gin g s to the home-scones which we never expect to re visit The girls are all married ; our hair is turning gray ; bat we look back upon the past. and feel de• vontly thankful that oar fathers, and moth ers and teachers had common sense enough to believe in letting boys and girls gu to school together." The Body Sold. I remember, a few years ago, a poor wan wisp went around from town to town, and from city to city,,all through the country, exhibiting himself to Medical men and stu dents, because he had an enormous tumor which disfigured him 'frightfully. lie got his living by exhibiting himself; and at last this poor man actually sold his body ,for stipulated price, giving a 'writing that it should be delivered to certain medical mem immediately upbo his death ; and people all through the country who knew' that fact. said: low horrible that a man should sell his boy, and eat the bread purchased by his own flcsn-and' blood ?' And •yet there were walking the streets of nearly every town nod city, men who have 'soli reputu tion,-bonor tind Manhood for money, and who - are living-thk'y by Alay-upon the price of their Own integrity,' and nobody thinks that is aw ful. These men are to be seen all through the country, and young men look up to them and say: 'That is a glorious success; if'we could attain td that we should be Intisfied:' The best consolers of human hearts may bear broken hearts in their own bosoms. , Fifteen Follies.-= .

Fifth—To act on the presumption that the smallest room in the house to largo A 2.- -1 g noueh, to- sleein:: . - I Sixth—To argue that whatever remedy causes one to feel immediately better-is 'good lor' the system, with — out regard to more ut= -1 terior effects.

Seventh—To commit an act which is felt in itself to be prejudicial, botig, that BMW- I how or other it may with imimpity. Eight— To advise another to take a rem edy which you have not tried• on yourself, or without making special inquiry whether all the conditions are alike. Ninth—To eat without—an appetite or continue to eat altor it has been satiated, merely to gratify the taste. Tenth—To eat 'a hearty supper for the plemure experienced during the brief time it is passing down the throitt, at the expense of a whole uight of disturbed sleep,'and a weary waking in the morning. Eleventh—To remove a portion of the clothing immediately after exercise, when the most stupid dray man in New York knows that if he does not ,put cover un his horse MO in ttttt nanadil4:ol:l4:Weinii lose him in a few days by pneumonia Twelfth—To contend that because the dirtiest children in the street, or on the high way are hearty and healthy, therefore it is healthy to be dirty ; forgetting that contin uous daily,exposure to the pure out door air in joyous, unrestrained activities, is such% powerful agency for health that these who live thus arc well, in spite of rags and filth. Thirteenth—To presume to repeat later in life, without injury, the indiscretions, es - ,posure and intemperance§ which in the flush of youth were practiced with impunity. Fourteenth—To believe that warm air is necessarily impure, or that pure, cold air is necessarily more healthy than the confuted air of :lose and crowded vehicles; the latter, of the most, can only cause fainting anti nau,ca, while entering a conveyance after walking briskly, lowering a window thus while still exposed to a draft will give a c.)ld infallibly, or an attack of pleurisy or pneu monia which will cause weeks - 'and months of suffering, if not actual death within four days. Fifteenth—T o 'remember the Sabbath day' by working harder and later on Satur day than ou any other day iu the week, with a view to sleep late next morning, and stay ing at home all day to rest, conscience being quieted'by the plea of not feeling very well. Journal of health. Mai rying Blindfold The facility with which numbers of re speetable women are duped into matrimony by rascally adventurers is marvellous. An agreeable exterior, a knack of small talk and a little riesteritv in the art of fhttery, seem to be all tl•at is necessary to procure an un• principled scoundrel an unlimited nurnber of wives. The oilier day a man was arrested fot bigamy in a \'e-tern city, at the suit of his sixth spouse. Ile had made by his half' a dczen connubial speculations the neat little sum of twelve thousand dollars. 01 course, one feels sorry, for the victims ; hut if women of respectability 'will wed unknown vagabonds after a short acquaintance, people of cowmen sense and common prudence cannot help mingling a little contempt with their commis eration In a matter of such vital importance to her happiness as marriage, a woman ought at least to exercise as much judgment and discretion as in purchasing a dress pattern; and yet had any one of the six wives referred to looked halt as closely into the antecedents of her suitor as we will warrant sho did into quality and style of her wedding furbelows, she had been saved the mortification of her anomalous position and the loss of her cash. Beware, ye impulsive maidens and widows, of larcenous lovers whose tende,r protestations are prompted not by cupid but cupidity. As the chambermaid of a steamboat upon the Onio was passing out of the ladies cabin, an old ladvin a plaintively husky tone, re• quested her to close the door, as she had caught such a bad cold at Detroit that she was needy dead, At this moment, a very phthisieal old lady, occui.ying a .berth near the door, forbade the girl to shut it, on ac count 'of her shortness , of breath. 'Shut it, or I'll die l' squeaked the Detroit lady.— 'Leavo it open,. or smother to death,' guspecithe other.

With out this, singing is nothing but a confusion of sounds, and utterlyi_mfit to be heard in the house of God. Another branch of this subject-1116 adapt. atiop of tunes to hymns—deserves more than a mere passing hint ; for in this, many oho -rislers manifest the most deplorable igno rance 'lndeed it is to be regretted that min isters do not generally concern themselves more about the singing All regard this branch of service_ of the highest importance, and yet, apparently at least, care very little how it is performed A certain writer, who is not indifferent to the character of the sing ing, says "It is a very general impression tbat the pastor is to teach amigo pray, but an• other man is to sing. — Music is formed out, and the unity of public services is marred by two systems of exercises conducted by dif ferent persons, and oftentimes without con cord or sympathy with each other, and some times, even with such contrariety that the organ and the choir effectually neutralize the pulpit." It is not claimed here that the pas tor should lead the singing, but that he should frequently be present at the choir rehearsals and assist in making selections for the Sabbath service. Especially is this ne cessary where it is plainly evident that the chorister lacks this impel tant qualification.— The selection of hymns ought never to be left to an unexperienced chorister- This is so evident that it needs no special confirma tion. The services, to make the proper im pression upon the auditorti, must possess uni ty ; and just in proportion as this is destroyed by the introduction of what is foreign to the general theme, do and must the services fail of making the desired impression. A sad instance of this was lately witnessed by the writer of this, where the minister left one of the hymns for the choir to select That the selection was utterly unsuitable, as might have been expected, is all that need hero bo said. A tune and hymn well adapted together, mutually assist each other; but when the character of the tune is such as to contra dict the sentiment of the hymn, they not on ly neutralize each other, but the performance necessarily borders on the rediculous. Un der surh circumstances the effect is always bad. That there is something the matter, is apparent, but what it is, is frequently. not known. Even the good pastor; how ever much he may be 'wrapped up' in the gener al service, feels that there is a hindrance to the free movement of the services, but exact ly what it is, does not just occur to him. The singing is 'either too fast or too slow; tee loud or too sort, or -too somethinrr '' else, whatever that may be In short, the utter artificial and unnatural chracter o'f the whole performucce r makes it painfully evi dent that tbere teas been or is, a want of judgement somewhere.

'Certainly,' returned the parson; 'but y, - )ti will find it very powerful; be cart. ful how you use it.' The Hoosier took the proffered vial, and feeling himself proof against any quantity of raw whiskey, thought he could stand the 'red salt' with impunity, and accordingly -sprinkled-a-juok-of-beef—rather—bountif with it, and forthwith introduced it into hit capacious .mouth.
