SEA AND LAND. '—
FROM ,LVEIV YORK 'IV SAN FRANCISCO.-
NH3IBER. THREE,
Sept. 24. We had very pleasant weather
throughout to-day, coming as near to per
fection as weather generally does—in fact
the pleasantest day thusfar of our journey.
A soft balmy atmosphere, a smooth sea, and
a breeze sufficient were we not a steamer to
carry us along five knots an hour The day
was not darkened by clouds and the night
filled with the soft light of the moon The
stars came out from the blue vault of heaven
and blazed with a distinctness and force that
made each one seem some central source of
exhaustless and unquenchable splendor. Of
this high host Jupiter led the , way—the
queen of the midnight arch.
Every day at 12 M., the Captain takes his
observations to see where he is and whither
be is going. Finding our latitude and lon
gitude it is an easy matter to tell where we
are At noon to-day we were in latitude
23,04; longitude 74,36; course, S E.; &s
-tance run in last twenty-foul hours 294
miles; temperature air, 82 degrees—water
76 deg ; coal consumed, 6 tons,
Early this morning we discovered a sail
just peering
up over the swelling sweep of
the ocean. She came close enough in hall
an hour to discover the American flag flying
at her peak. She proved to be a merchant.
man of New York, two days out from 11a.
flex Captain hailed us and request
ed a few papers and kindly offered in return
to carry any mail back to New York. When
it was understood that letters could he sent
back all pens were put in motion, go where
you would fore and aft nothing was heard
but the scratch of pens In a few minutes
the letters were collected when the Captain
bade us good-bye and wished us a pleasant
journey. The sturdy vessels then parted
each to pursue its journey towards the dis
tant haven, and in a short time we were a
lone upon the ocean.
&V. 25. At sunrise this morning the
green hills of Cuba greeted our sight. All
eyes were eager to get a glimpse of terra.
firma after seeing nothing but wide expause
of water for the last week. Before daylight
we had passed W.atliuoi's Island, where it is
said by some Christopher Columbus made his
first landing . By noon we had passed For•
tune Island, Ctooked Island and Bird Rock
against which the sun beat with considerable
force. During the afternoon we saw Cape
Maysi and passed within sight of the blue
mountains or Jamacia. ester made th e
island of San Domingo bearing W. S W.;
the home of that distinguished colored Em
peror, and were dashing among the islands
of the Caribean Sea. Towards evening heavy
black clouds were floating amorrthese islands
and quite a fresh breeze started up. It
seemed to be a premouitron in the change of
the weather. When we gut well out with
the Caribean we encountered the track winds
which caused a very ugly sea which our af•
fable Captain ink•ruovd U 3 would remain aith
us for about six hundred miles,
a very pleas
ant prospect truly. The wind commenced
to blow fresher and fresher as night ad•
vanced and the swell increasing The bar•
ouster fell very fast, with every ireather in
dication very threatening. The day 'closed
with an immense thunderstorm with Lifland

Sept
_26. Last night-was a fearful one.
The sift 'inn mountains high and the wind
blewfuriously. The vessel would go ahead
into a sea burying her bow almost to the rail
ing, then almost stop with the severity of
the shook, tremble from stem to stern and
then proceed. With every shock
. could be
'heard the faint cry of some timid female
from various parts of the vessel. The smooth
working of the machinery during the night
against the odds she was contending, was

would be lifted as it "were into the air both
wheels skipping the water and giving no
sound as to the working of the engines; then
there wottld be a suspense until the old fa
miliar-sounds-were-heard again.- When day--
light came the sea presented a singular sight.
The waves seemed to be benched back, one
above the other on either side towering a—
bove the vessel and she going along on the
bottom of a groove. They were very high

frightful, occasioning great uneasiness among
some of the passengers Several tidies the
gangways of the vethel went under water,
but the good ship kept her course gallantly.
The ocean looked like one vast magnificent
lace cortain,Alie wind besting down the tops
of the waves and tracing long lines and fig
ures in pearly white. At evening the-wind
and sea abated, but aI 1 indications were
threatening. Darkness was on the face of
the deep have here and there where a falling
dieteor threw its transient light over the,
foamimz crest of some toweLinaTe. As
-th-e—
soaring billow combed over, sheets of
I;ghted loam rolled down into the intervening
lfs of ni”ht and then succeeded a darkness
that might hf I rte the b-
,eavy bell of
struck the hours the voices of the
the 911;
watch froM different parts of the ship came'
like broken tones from unseen sources. The
hollow sound of the storm through the rig•
_ging made it seem as if the very_winds - were_
pouring our death-dirge. Hut a little alter
midnight - the gale broke through the sea
and continued rough throughout the night.
Sept- 2-7.- The sun resm-this-morniog-with
that look of darkness the monarch'of - the sea•
son puts on when tempests are abroad in his
domains. Yet he drove his flashing chariot
up the lowering clouds with a fleetness and
force, in this latitude, which indicated no
disposition to resign his sceptre. The glance
of his eye kindled the ridges of black masses !
around into lines of fire, and revealed the
caverns of darkness which stretched away in
to their unfathomed folds. The roused ocean
threw up its howling billows as if in stern
defiance. It was evident we were to have a
conflict of' the giant element. They rushed
into the battle like well horsed riders—foes
w-ho-neither give nor crave quarters.
• The roar of the tempest above, the thun
der of the sea below, the careering squad
rons of clouds and the dark defiant waves as
they rushed into combat added sublimity to
terror. Our ship was not an idle spectator;
_ he plunged into the thickest of the fight and
with sails well furled, a groaning engine and
a steady keel presented her frowning mass of
exulting courage and strength She trem
bled but not with fear ; she wavered but not
for want of valor. Ido not wonder sailors
regard a fast staunch ship as a thing of lite,
and speak of her with an affection applica•
ble only to the higher attributes of humani
ty, She is indeed the highest triumph of
human skill—the noblest representative of I
art. Wave after wave of the great ocean I
rol'ed its massive strength Against her but
she met each successive shock with daunt•
less intrepidity Night at last closed over
the conflict and the lightnings lit the watch•
fires oldie hostile squadrons. The moon
broke arough a rift in the black masses and
cast her soft light on the savage features of
the scene. So rose she over Thermopylae
and Waterloo and blushed at the havoc of
human ambition
Sept. 28 To-day was a very warm F ult ry
chly. At 12 M, we were in latitude 10,39;
bngitude 78,28 and within 145 miles of Pan-
: rua which wdwill reach °ally on the mor
row. Passed the Pacific Mail Company's
Steamer 'Ocean Queen' crowded with pas
sengers hound home. This was a pretty
sight. She came so close that the Captains
could converse. The large steamer looked
splendid as she came towards us, rising and
falling with the sea. The Captains saluiad
each other, changed New Yetk and San
Francisco papers and moved on. I took a
look at the ship (luting the,day, she was in
perfect order thrortOtout and her machinery
in splendid condition. She is • a powerful
vessel in fair or foul weather and wakes
headway under the most adverse cireum
stances. She makes her time with great reg•
ularity and the Captain is a , proud of her as
a girl with he.r first doll. She is as light and
buoyant as a cork on the water, built sharp,
cuts the water like a knife and is well sup.
plied with all life saving appliances.
Sept. 29. At sunrise this morning land
was vlsible on both sides at us and all the
pa,sengers preparing for the embarkation.—
The sun was rising in splendor as we steamed
boldly into the harbor. After an absence
from laud for more than a week and sailing
over tw o thousand miles we• gladly ex
changed ship for shore, although at one of
the unhealthiest places in the florid—As

A man at South. Bend, Indiana, lately

A Talk with Young Men.
Under this heading, the Auburn News
indulges in a conversatiodwith young men,
which thit class of our readers, we know,
will thank us for giving prominence in the
columns of-the RECOIM:=-:-.":7-7.-tr===
Young man, a word with you!
You have been attending school for sev.
eral years, and if you have improved your
time have acquired a fah. English educa
tion.
Your parents have been at much ex
pense in rearing you to your present years
and stature. They naturally feel much ens
'sty-to-know-what-is-to-result-from to - res - utt - from - all — th - eir
labor and outlay in your behalf. Now, that
you are fifteen or sixteen years old, they
naturally think it is time they should kuow
what you are good for.—
• Yourtg friend! show those- good parents. ,
of yours that you are good for - something.
•flow is this to be done ?' you ask.
-would make your way in life without work,
get rid of the foolish idea immediately. Re
solve that , ou will make 'ourself Mastir if
a goof trade.
Don't look• for a 'situation.' He only
who is skillful in some trade, art, or busi
ness, is 'master of the situation.' .111ny , a
young man has been ruined by waiting for a
'situation' or an 'opening.'
Think over the long list of useftil and
profitable trades, and study to know which
is best suited to tastes and abilities.—
Talk with your father and mother on the
subject. Their longer experienee
world, and their affection for you will caufe
their advice to be invaluable to you.
If they are wise - parents they will not try
to make this, that, or the other out of you to
gratify parental pride, or foolish notions of,
ICS OCtilbi
Having carefully come to a conclusion
as to what trade 'is best for you, proceed
o learn it by going into some shop or mau
-1 ulactory where your Wosen art. is tiler
i °uglily understood, and successfully prat
Don - t. expect to make money at first.—
The trade you acquire will be worth . much
wore than money. As soon as our ser-
vices are worth — niorc thou the trouble of
teaching you, and the value of the mater
ial you spoil, you may expect to make some
money.
Apply yourself diligently and attentive
lyrto your business, and in the course of
no lung time you will 'find yourself master
of a trade worth wore than money. A.
rich man is richer by being master of a
trade Possessed of a trade, a pour man
is independent at. the outset,. and if indus
trious, emmornical and prudent, will become
rich in a few years.
Our advice is not given to the poor young
man alone.' If' a boy has a fortune in pros
pest he should learn some branch of honest
industry, in which he may profitably and
usefully employ_his capital when it comes
to him. In the mutations of human affairs
his fortune may fly from him, and in such a
case the,trade acquired in youth would be a
good thing to fall back upon.
Young Peter, of Russia, was heir to an
Empire with all its vast revenues, but he
wisely applied himself to the work of learn
ing the art of ship building. Ire was a
better, a wiser, and a happier king, because
lie was a ship-carpenter.
We have known the sons of wealthy fa
thers to serve a faithful and industrious ap
prenticeship to a trade. Early and late,
day by day, they have applied themselves
to their mechanical toil. Such young men
show themselves capable of building useful
and enduring superstructures on the founda
tions of wealth and influence laid by their
fathers.
Go thou and do likewise.
Our National Morals
It is a well known fact that drunkenness
and immorality, licentiousness and vice, has
so 'far crept into the Senate end flonse of
Representative of the United States, as to
make those bodies really disreputable An
item is talting through the columns of the
press, that the reception room of the Senate
is 'now the greatest assignation place in
Washington,' that 'at any time during the
session of the Senate, the visitor may see,
sitting and reclining in brazen effrontery,
known women of ill-fame, attired in the most
costly fabrices, and wearing diamonds and
,laces of the latest fashion' Senators, it is
said, do not hesitate to leave their seats at
the bidding of these wantons and repair to
the Senate chamber for a rETE A TETE Can
a nation prosper undersuch a REGIMEN as
this? The demoralizing int:hence of the
late war, is now being felt. Wo aro the
greatest shoddy nation on earth. Shoddy
men .have crept into every dep irtmen t of the
government, and harlots and thieves hold
high carnival at Washington. Beautiful,
but frail ones, are the most noted lobbyists.
Let us hear no more of the licentiousness of
Atheistic France. We can stand a few
peculations from Congressmen, but When we
have debauchery and stealing mixed—in
sulted while we're robbed— it is too much
for a tax ridden people to bear. We hope
for our character as a nation that these
things are not so bad as they are represented.
FLIRTING —Of all the contemptible ba bite
this is the meanest. What good does it do
to trifle with the affections of another. A
flirt is like a spider, always on the lookout
to drag some one into the net. And how do
they always end They never make a happy
marriage, (if they ever do enter that state,)
and they meet the fate they deserve• It is
all well enough for a woman to jilt men when
she is in all the glory of
,her beauty, but the
day will come when her beauty will fade, and
she will sigh for the' oxibrace of the shadowy
bridegroom and a couch under the 'waving
grass. In the dreary after days it will be
pleasant to sit and think of the lives she hae
wrecked and the hopes she has crushed ?
Vanity brings r its owe evil.

BAGGING- -EDUCATION;
(CON eI , LIDED.)
A method so - arbitrary, unnatural, and in
opposit-i•rn-ta-gbod-se-use-as ' •
great sternness and severity in the teacher.
Generally a liberal application of the birch
was the panacea for treachery of memory or
deficieney v in natural aptness. The teacher
was thus emphatically, what he was termed,
a `master;' •and one of-his chief qualifications
was the ability to use the whip. Knowled ,, e
was then obtained under diffieUltics. But
as it had to be so, nobody objected to it.—
That the pain consequent upon a severe flog
ging enlightened the understanding most a.
arazirrg,ly, no one who had had any experi
ence in the matter, thought of doubting. It
opened every avenue to learning. ' Indeed
the fear of the 'master' and his whips consti
tuted the beginning of wisdom. This every
child had to learn and to understand. With
out it, nobody supposed learning to be possi
ble. Precisely iu what wavier this method
of teaching was to benefit the pupil, was not
known; but, as all pursued the same course,
presuming that somehow or other it- won-hi
de the learner good, no ono, for fear of ex
posing himself to the ridicule of the wisdom
of the times,
thought of calling into question
its utility. But, though it mot with general
favor, to say that this old or cramming meth
od met with universal approbation, would be
doing gross injustice to the memories of some
of the most illustrious dead of past centuries.
All ages have had their reformers, those who,
on account of penetrating to the root of ev
erything that engaged their thoughtq, might
justly have been called radicals. Being gen
erally few in number and vastly in advance
of the ago in which they, lived, their views
were not appreciated by the masses of the
people nor the influence of their minds ma ,
terially felt, until the pen of the biographer
had removed all prejudice against them, by
giving to the world au unbiassed and faith
ful delineation of their lives and views. The
prejudice of rivals of inferior mental caliber
has in all ages of the world seriously affected
the influence of the intellectually great, and
in the same degree fostered jealousy arta en
couraged ignorance. The progress of edu•
cation has suffered no little from the same
cause., But no prejudice, however well do.
fended, could successfully conceal the de
fects of the bagging system—they were too
evident and glaring. Among those who were
convinced of these defects, pointed them out,
and proposed something more in accordance
with the suggestions of nature and common
sense, m a y be mentioned Roger Bacon,
Asehani, illilton, Locke, and Lord Bacon.
The people however, without having given
the subject that serious thought which its
importance justly demanded, had their opin
ions so firmly set in favor of cramming or
bagging, that, to bring about a change for the
better. was no easy matter. In fact they had
not been taught to think—they had• been
crammed and stuffed, and hence were utter.
ly thoughtless and indifferent as to an im
provement or something, mere rational. But,
as the number of those who were iu favor of
a reformation was constantly on the increase,
a revolution, however stubbornly -resisted
could not be stayed ; it was bound to take
place, and did take place.
Pestalozzi convinced of the erroneousness
of the bagging method, opened a school and
commenced teaching according to what
seemed to him, as it really proved_ to be, na
ture's method, or that which common sense
would dictate.• [lts views meeting with gen
eral approbation, his school soon rose into
such favor, that teachers and educators from
all parts of Germany flatted to it, some to
become pupils, others to learn something of
his ideas concerning education, Its methods
of instruction and discipline; and so greatly
delighted were all with his system that they
determined to introduce - it at once; and thus
was laid the foundation of that method of
teaching properly termed 'common sense',
whii:h has entirely revolutionized Eutopean
education,• and is made the basis of instioc-
eft.oo,2l2!ozs -7'ezetri
tion in all the best schools, especially the -
Normal Schools, of that country.
A system so true to nature and possessing
such evident - advantages oier bagging-or
cramming, could not long rennin confined to
such narrow limits as Germany and-Switzer
land. Finding, as every real improvement'
always does, admirers among the progressive
evetywhere, it found its way into other coun
tries, not the last of which was our own.
Stowe, Bache, Mann, and Barnard, men to
whom this country is greatly indebted for
tho,nditancenient_ of -education, erossed_the
tlwritierrorthe purpose of making them
selves acquainted with its principles, and af
ter returning made reports to the legislatures
of their respective states, urging its imme
diate introduction into the schools of the
country. Its pr'4ress here, on account of
the prejudice in favor of the prevailing sys
tem, was not at first_as rapid as in Germany,
I t-st-eadity _
:•• a •
Itttion here as there,
Cramwing everywhsre had to give way to it,
and at present there is seareelur school of
any reputation north of Mason and Dixon's
line in which the common sense system is
not made the basis of instruction. In Penn.
sylvania, along the above,line, especially in
the at• .fyir
Ais part of Franklin county, the stupefying
system is still practiced to an alarming de
gree. Teachers aro yet to be found, who
have carried this stupefying so far as to have
acquired quite a reputation
All their ability however lies in the skill
they have attained in deadening the inventive
and reasoning powers of those who are so un
fortunate as to become the victims of their
misnamed instruction Were it not too seri
ous a matter, it would be laughable to hear
-these-unfortunate °Wes in after life, relate
the history of their school day'. Sorrowful
as it should be to them, they refer to it with
an air of pride that would lead owe to im
agine that they had done wonders, But,
having learned absolutely nothing, they have
notl.ing_to_relate_except the tricks they
-played-and-the floggings they received.

The writer*of this has had ample oppor
tunity for witnessing the baneful affects of
this system, having been obitged to resusci-

Why a system so pernicious and unphilo.
sophical as this, ie still tolerated in any com—
munity claiming only a very moderate degrees
ef intelligence, can be accounted. fur only
upon the principle, that we should never
abandon the 'good old ways' of our forefa
thers.—Until the people will no longer toler
ate such a system of teaching, they should
not complain of the poorness of the schools,
and say, that there is no use in sending chi!.

Touching Incident. -
A neighbor who was engaged ,in holding
Mr. Eckerson after the symptom of hydro
phobia, began to manifest itself, gives a
touching incident of the last scenes Just
before his death, whilst temporarily re•
lieved from violent spasmodic struggles, Mr.
Eckerson dosired to see his wife before his
death. Requiring from four to six men
to hold him all the time, of course it was
not prudent, his wife being ill in the other
room, and even it he wen able, it was
thought his dreadful condition, held by men
all the while to prevent instant injury from
his sudden fits or spasms, might make her
worse.
Ile begged and continued to entreat them
to let him look upon his wife once more be
fore he died, and finally his friends and
neighbors could hold out no longer, and
cowented to take him to her, ho expecting
to die in the 'next spasm, which he knew
would not be long delayed.
He carefully wiped off the froth which
was foaming all the while from his mouth,-
lest any of it should get upon her, and clos
ing his lips tightly with a desperate effort,
was borne to her bedside.
Bending dawn, his lips met those be bad
so often kissed in joy, love and holy affec
tion. And then with one long look upon
a lace he well knew he ought not to have
asked to see again, he bade her a last adieu.
The strong men who gazed upon the
scene wept like children as they" saw the
dying man, who with lips still compressed,
signified the necessity of being removed,
again from her presence; and was then ready
to die. shortly afterwards, in renewed par
oxymns of the dreadful complaint, death came
to his relief.—Paterson Guardian.
