They say, " wh-y would that little bird follow us, darting wildly around, crying piteously, unless it wished to warn us of approaching danger?" Tbis little bird is the Mother Carey's chicken (TKalassiilroma Pelegica), the smallest of the web-footed birds. It is a terror to the sailors, who always consider its crying as a precursor of storms. They would not allow it to be killed for fear of their lives. It is mostly Been in mid-ocean, darting along the farrows of the sea, lip and down, coursing its flight by the motion of t.he billows. It has many peCmliariti£s, the most singular of which is its faculty of standing and even running on the surface of the waters, which appears to be done with perfect ease.— They are sometimes, though/arely, seen sitting on the water like ducks, in which manner they probably take their rest. By feeding them with scraps ot fat meat, they can be coaxed very near to the vessel, and their dancing and graceful movements afford rare amusement for shipboard..

These curious fish are of a beautiful blue color, sometimes a foot in length. They ri9e abruptly from the waves and sustain themselvas in the air by the use of their long pectoral fins, and sometimes extending their flight for several hundred feet, they disappear with a splash. They move with such force as to dash themselves to pieces when a hard object interrupts their flight. They frequently fall upon the decks of small craft and- perish with the blow.

Sailors are positively opposed to female passengers, and many a skipper experiences difficulty in securing a crew when it is known that his wife will accompany him on a voyage. This same feeling is manifested toward clergymen, who are denominated " psalm singers," and their presence is opposed on the grounds that misfortune will surely visit the ship if one remains. The chirp of a cricket seldom fails to throw consternation upon £jie whole crew, and they will use every exertion to destroy the intruder, and, in case of failure, many will desert at the earliest opportunity, as they believe it an infalible tokeu of destruction.

Upon mingling with mariners, pursuing their vocations, the stranger soon realize his isolation from everything familiar, and like the traveler, he must become familiarized with the languages and usuges of the people around him before complete satisfaction can be derived from his visit.

Two weeks ago, on board an English steamer, a little ragged boy, aged nine years, was discovered on the fourth day of the outward voyage from Liverpool to New York, and carried before the first mate, whose duty it was to deal with such cases. When questioned as to the object of his being stowed away, and who brought him on board, the boy, who had a beautiful sunny face, and eyes that looked like the mirrors of truth, replied that his stepfather did it, because he could not afford to keep him, nor to pay his passage out to Halifax, where he had an aunt, who was well off, and to whose house he was going. The mate did not believe tbe story, in spite of the winning face and truthful accents of the boy. He had seen t« much of the stow-aways to be easily deceived by them, he said; and it was bis firm conviction that the boy had been brought on board and provided with food by tbe sailors. The little fellow was very roughly handled in consequence. Day by day he was questioned and requestioned, but always with the £ame result. He did not know a sailor on board, and his father alone had secreted him and given him the food which he ate. DR. JOHN C. BECKER, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, (FORMERLY OF TCXKHANKOCK.)

This PROMPTNESS. When a death occurs on board ship, the corpse is generally buried within twenty-four hours, the funeral services devolving upfln the officers of the vessel, and are observed with due solemnity. On a man-of-war the messmates alternately watch by the sick comrade, and, after death, prepare him for burial, precisely as the custom on land, then cover him with a jack until buried. The sailmaker's mate sews him up in a hammock, and a sixty-four pound shot is lashed to his feet by being placed in a bag drawn over the feet and sewed to the hammock, and a peice of stout cord around the. ancles secures it in its place. At the appointed hour tbe machinery is stopped, the vessel hove to, and the the corpse brought on deck. All hands are piped on deck to bury the dead, and the entire ship's company assemble around the capstan with uncovered heads ; tbe chaplain appears in his robe, and, amidst the most profound silence, performs the obsequies. Several marines, with arm3 reversed, and the messmates of the deceased bearing the corpse, march after the fife and drum playing a dirge around the ship's deck. Upon arriving at the port gang-s way the chaplain resumes the ceremony, and at the words, " We therefore commit his body to the deep/' tbe corpse is slid through a port into the sea—a splash, and the grave is filled. Three volleys of musketry over his burial place and this impressive scene is ended, when all hands are piped and the usual routine resumed. In case the deceased be a Catholic, the exercises are conducted by one of that faith according to their peculiar form, should the messmates request it, although the established fo.roi in the U. S. Navy is the Episcopalian. Should death occur while in port* the body is buried on shoreD the ceremonies being conducted on board ship previous to the departure of the cortege. Such a gloomy picture would seem discouraging to every one contemplating sea life, but this is not the case. Landsmen are plentiful, and tho number of men who choose this sort of- banishment to escape justice does not diminish. A ship can almost always be considered an asylum for the dregs of society. There are many intelligent men who choose this lift, but misfortunes, blight and .weak resolutions have driven them to it, and it is enjoyed, partly because the associations drown all sorrows, and partly from tho natural facinations of eea life. stock ha9 been selected with the utmost care and it Thankful for past favors, we are encouraged to go ahead.

Although it abounds in nick-names, slang, contractions and words perverted in meaning, yet this is principally the result of • combination of original sailor-slang, and a peculiar dialect at once concise and comprehensive; the necessity of which is best seen during a storm, when the noise of the elements completely drowns the voice, unless assisted by some instrument, such as a trumpet or a boatswain's whistle—when the safety of the vessel depends, as it frequently does, upon a single word. An instance is recorded in which the seamen mistook the word " larboard" (the left side of the ship) for starboard—the opposite side, which proved her destruction by being dashed upon the rocks, when a contrary effort would have insured safety; the similarity of these words originated the word " port" as a substitute for larboard, which is now in use.

All around him were the passengers and sailors of the mid day watch, and in front of him stood the inexorable mate, with his chronometer in his hand, and the other officers of the ship by his side It was the finest Eight, said our informant, that we had ever beheld—to see the pale, proud, sorrowful face of that noble boy, his head erect, his beautiful eyes bright through the tears that suffused them, When eight minutes had fled, the mate told him he had but two minutes to live, and advised him to speak the truth and save his life; but lie replied, with the utmost simplicity and sincerity, by asking the mate if he might pray. The mate said nothing, but nodded his head, and turned as pale as a ghost, and shook with trembling like a reed with the wind. And there all eyes turned upon him, this brave and noble little fellow, this poor waif whom society owned not, aud whose own stepfather could not care for him—there he knelt with plasped hands and eyes upraised to heaven, while he repeated audibly the Lord's Prayer and prayed the Lord Jesus»to take him to heaven. Pittston, June 0, '67-y EXTRACTING TEETH WITHOUT PAIN, rpHE SWAN HOTEL. rpiIE NATIONAL Sailors are wonderfully addicted to slang and nick-names, which, with ship term*, they incorporate in their ordinary conversation to a ridiculous extent. They call, for instance, the ship's cooper, "bungs," t'ne armorer, "smut," the painter, "dabber," etc. On a man of war the chaplain is styled " Holy Joe," master-atarms, "Jimmy legs," bandsmen, "wind jammers," coal heavers, "diamond tossers," engineers, " greasers," Ac. They say instead of goodbye, "so long;" to cat is " to scoff," to die is " to croak." They call rice " swamp seed," potatoes, "spuds," and a stew r.f that vegetable with onions, pork, Ac.," skouse." To fasten in sailor language is to " belay," which is contracted to " blay," aud used in conversation to denote cessation. Rectangular blocks of sandstone are used for scouring the decks, which are called " holy stones," and instead of scour they say " holy stone."

It is a home company in every locality. Its policies are exempt from attachment. There are no unnecessary restrictions in the policies.As a class, sailors are the very embodiment of vice and immorality, and no warnings seem serious enough to dissuade them from their profligacy. Numbers are hurried to untimely graves by the debititation of incurable disease, confirmed by their utter disregard for health— such is their exultation in beastly intoxication, that they sometimes drink spirits of turpentine or alcohol in absence of liquor, and at the termination of a cruise seem to ecert themselves to squander their scanty earnings in debauchery and vice, then return to their life of servitude often contrary to solemn oaths. Tobacco is like strong drink, in its popular acceptance, with seldom a dissenting voice.— There are periods, thrice daily, when smoking is allowed on particular parts of the ship, when the solace of a smoke is eagerly sought after by almost every one; men frequently crawling from the hospital to the deck for their "smoke," such is their hankering after its indulgence. There exists in the most intelligent communities a fallacy that whales, sharks and other sea monsters follow vessels having very sick or dead persons on board, waiting for the corpse to be thrown overboard that they nyiy devour it, and if the body is not promptly buried they will attact the vessel and endanger its safety.— This story doubtloss originated in the brain of some old " tar," as it savors strongly of that source, and was imposed upon the ignorant and credulous until it became pretty generally believed. Skpticism on this point prompted an investigation, and I have watched for hours between the sick and dead, (the latter at one time while undergoing ft post mortem  and the open port in tropical climates, and never succeeded in discovering signs of any sea animal whatever, nor have I ever met with aDy one else who did, so that I, after dilligent inquiry and careful observation under the most favorable circumstances, feel fully persuaded that this is but a "sailors yarn," and like many others, a scandalous imposition upon the credulity of the community.

Manufacturers of Finest Quality Family Flour Chop and Feed of various kinds, and dealers in Grain Five Cent's Worth op Orange Peel. —A man from the country invested five ccnts in the purchase of an orange, and preparatory to getting himself outside of it, threw the peel on the sidewalk. Soon after, a young woman came along, slipped upon the peel and fell, breaking her leg. The woman was to have been maaried the next day, but wasn't. The man who was to marry her had come from St. Paul, Minn., and was obliged to return, on account of business, to await the recovery of the girl. On his way back he unfortunately ran off the track, and his shoulderblade was broken, forcing him to stop at Dunkirk for repairs. On getting back to St. Paul he found that his forced absence had upset a business arrangement which he had expected to complete, at a pecuniary loss to him of 85,000. Meantime the in jured girl suffered a relapse, which so enfeebled her health that her marriage was delayed, which had a bad effect upon the young man, and he finally broke the engagement and married a widow in Minnesota with four small children. This so worked upon the mind of the girl that she is now in the insane hospital in Middletown. Her father, outraged by the conduct of the young man, brought a suit for a breach ot promise, and has just recor•ered $10,000. Tho anxiety and expense o£the whole affair thus far have been enormous, as any body can see. Similiar cases are likely to occur, so long as people will persist in throwing orange-peel around loose.—Hartford Courant. DEALERS IN Profanity, the accompaniment of vice, is tolerated without restriction, and its shocking use is a convincing proof of the depravity of sea-faring men, which demands the most stringent measures to prevent frequent revolts. The navy enforces the most complete discipline, and, although sailors seem to be treated little better than Blaves, yet one cannot fail to observe the absence of any alternative. The system of punishment has undergone spirited discussions of late years, and resulted in the abolishment of flogging, which eau hardly be considered an improvement, for its only objection seems to be its antiquity. The substitutes are certainly no more humane, as any one can readily testify who has witnessed men " triced up in a sweatbox for three days," tho room crowded to its utmost capacity with black and white offenders, and only a few auger boles on a single side to admit air—a Black Hole of Calcutta on a small scale. Men generally become maddened instead of penitent, whereas a good flogging, though "a relic of barbarism," seldom fails to produce the desired effect If the system of close confinement was fully understood, its condemnation would be transferred to the practice of corporal punishment, and this considered the more humane. The sound of words appears to influence the opinions of many, when given on subjects they are not fully conversant with, as certainly must be th« case in this instance. •VTEW BAKERY. 1" The undersigned would respectfully announce to4!m public that he has opened HARDWARE generally, All Flour and Feed sold by us, warranted as represented.
