A SCENE AT SEA.
The war had broken out belween England and France: Bonaparte had broken Ihe ireaty of Amiens: all was consternation in India, particalarly with those -who had valuable car¬ goes at sea, and those who were about to re¬ turn to their native land. I was one of the latter class; so I joyfully accepted a pas.sage homfc on board a Dane—Denmark, as yet, re¬ maining neutral in the quarrel.
So far as lii.xury went, I ceriainly found her very inferior lo our regular ladiamen; but, as a sailor, she wa.s far superior, and in point of discipline, her crew was as well regulated, and as strictly commanded, as the crew of a British-man-of-war. In fact, such order, reg¬ ularity, and implicit obedience, I could never have believed to e.xist on board a merchant¬ man.
The chief mate was one of the finest young men I ever saw. He had just been promoted to his present post—not from the mere fact of his being the ownei's son, but reaily from sterling merit. He was beloved by the crew, amongst whom he had served, as is usual in the Danish service, five years, and was.equal- ly popular wilh his brother officers, and the passengers returning to Europe.
The only bad character we had on board was the cook, a swarthy, ill-looking Portu¬ guese, who managed, somehow or other, daily to cause some disturbance amongst the sea¬ men. For this he had often been reprimand¬ ed ; and the evening when this sketch opens, he had just been released from irons, into which he had been ordered for four-and-lwen- ty hours by the chief mate, for having attempt¬ ed to poison a sailor who had offended him.— In return for having punished him thns se¬ verely, the irritated Portuguese swore to re¬ venge himself on the lirst officer.
The mate, who was called Charles, was walking in the waist with a beautiful young English girl, to whom he was engaged to be married, stopping occasionally to admire the ilying-fish, as they skirnmed over the surface of the water, pursued by their cruel destroyer, talking over the anticipated bliss their union would confer, their hopes and fears, the ap¬ proval of their parents, their bright prospects, indulging in future scenes of life, as steady as the trade wind before which they were quietly ruuning—when suddenly, ere a soul could in¬ terpose, or even suspect his design, the cook rushed fot ward and buried his knife, with one plunge, into the heart ot the unfortunate young raan, who fell wilhout a cry, as the e.xulling Portuguese burst forth into a demoniac langh of triumph.
Unconscious of the full extent of her be¬ reavement, the poor girl hung over him ; and as a friend, who had rushed forward to sup¬ port him, drew the knife from his bosom, her whole dress, which was white, was stained with his blood. With an efTort, Charles lurned toward her, gave her one last look of fervent afTection, and, as the blade left the wound, fell a corpse into the arms of him who held him.
By this time the captain had come on deck He shed tears like a child, for he loved poor Charles as his own i^on. The e.xasperated «iew would instantly have fallen on the assas sin, and taken summary vengeance—so trnly attached had they been to the chief mate— and were only kept within bounds by their commander's presence. The cook, who ap¬ peared to glory in his deed, was instantly seized and confined. The corpse was lakeii below, while the wretched betrothed •.vas car¬ ried, in a state of insensibility to her cabin.
Eight bells had struck the following even¬ ing, when I received a summons to atiend on deck. I, therefore, instantly ascended, and found the whole of the crew, dressed in.their Sunday cloihes, together with all the officers of the ship, and the male passengers, assem¬ bled. The men off duty were lining either side of the deck; the captain, surrounded by his officei-3, was standing immediately in front of the poop; and the body of the nnfortunate victim lay stretched on a grating, over which the national flag of Denmark had been Ihrown, immediately in the centie. In an in¬ stant, I saw that I had been summoned to be present at the funeral of the chief male, and my heart beat high with grief as I uncovered my head, and stepped on the quarter-deck.
It was nearly a dead calm : we had passed the trades, and were fast approaching the Line : the sun had begun to decline, but still burnt wilh a fervent heat: the sails hung list- les.sly against the masts, and the mainsail was brailed up, in order to allow the breeze, should any rise, togo forward. I had observed all the morning a still more sure indication of our approach to the torrid zone. Through the clear blue water, I had remarked a couple of sharks following the vessel, accompanied by their usual companions, the pilot-fish. This the sailors had e.xpected as a malter of course —as they superstitiously believe that these monsters of the deep always attach themselves lo a ship in which a dead body lies, an.xiously anticipating their dreadful meal. In their ap¬ pearance, however, I only saw the usual an¬ nouncement of our vicinity to the Line.
In such weather, placed in a ship, which seems to represent the whole world—shut out from all save the little band which encircles us, with the wide and fathomless element around us—the ethereal throne frora which God seems to look down npon us: at one moment onr voice rising in solemn prayer for one we have loved, and the next, the plash of the divided waters, as they received in their, bosom the creature He has made—all these, at such a moment, make the heart thrill with a deeper awe—a closer fellowship with its Creator— than auy resident on shore can know—a con¬ sciousness of the grandeur of God and the feebleness of man, which those alone can feel who ' go down in ships, and see the wonders of the deep.'
I took my place wilh the other passengers. Not a word was spoken, for we all believed we were about to witness the last rites per¬ formed over our late friend, and, consequently, slood in anxious silence; when suddenly a steady tramp was heard, and the larboard watch, with drawn cutlasses, slowly marched
After a strict investigation, the captain ap¬ pealed to all preafent, when the prisoner was tuianimously declared guilty.
The officers put on their hats, and the cap¬ tain proceeded to pass sentence. Great was my surprise (not understanding one word whioh the commander said) to see the culprit throw himself on his knees, and begin to- sue for mercy. A fter the unfeeling and obdurate manner in whicii he had conducted himself, such an appeal was unaccountable; for it was quite evident he did not fear death, or repent the deed he had committed. What threatened torture could thus bend his hardened spirit, I was at a loss to conjecture.
Four men now approached and lifted up the corpse. A similar number seized the prisoner while ten or twelve otheis approach¬ ed wilh strong chords. In a moment, lun- derstood the whole, and could not wonder at the struggles of the murderer as I saw him lashed back to back, firmly, tightly, without the power to move, to the dead body of his victim. His cries were stopped by a sort of gag, and, writhing as he was, with the body, was laid onthe grating, and carried lo the gangway. The crew mounted on the net¬ tings, and up the shrouds. A few prayers from the Danish burial-service were read by- the chaplain on board, and the dead and the living, the murderer and his victim, were launched into eternity, bound together.
As the dreadful burden saperated the clear waters, a sudden flash darted through Iheir transparency, and a genera! shudder went round, as each one felt it was the e.xpectant shark that rushed forward for his prey. I caught a glance of the living man's eyes as he was falling; it haunis me even to ihis mo¬ ment —there was more than agony in it!
We paused only for a few minutes, and imagined we saw some blood-stains rising to tlte surface. Not one amongst us could remain to. see more. We lurned away, and sought to forget the stern and awe-inspiring punishment we had seen inflicted.
Of course strange sights were related as having appeared to the watches that night.— For mysell, I can only say, that I w-as glad when a sudden breeze drove ug i"ar from tl.e tragic scene.
The Sandwich Islanders and Shares.— The grand recreation of the natives is the con¬ stant habit of swimming. In fact, the Sand¬ wich Islanders are all but amphibious, and seem to be as much al home in the water as on the land : and at all times of the day, men, women, and cliildren are sporting about in the harbor, or even beyond the reef with shoals of sharks perhaps, as their playfellows, 'f h^se voracious crealures, however, are far less like¬ ly to meddle withihe aborigines than with foreigners, not that they prefer white men lo brown, but because they have been taught by experience that one Hawaiian has more of the Tartar in him than a score of Europeans.— There is scarcely an instance on record in which a native has suffered any serious injury from a shark. If, at any lime, the latter take the preliminary step of turning over on his side to get a mouthful, the former is sure at least to elude the attack by diving below the mon¬ ster, while, if he has a knife or similar Wea¬ pon, he seldom fails to destroy the enemy by cariying the war into his interior.
To relurn to the swimming; it was part of our daily amusement to watch the rapid and elegant revolutions of the performers, more particularly of the ladies, who, in the great majority of cases, e.xcel their lords and mas¬ ters in agility and science. Even in the point of strength and endurance, one womatl, ashorl lime before our arrival, had carried' off the palm Irom her husband. The whole story is well worth te]ling,as illustrative of something betler than toughness of muscle, or supleness of limb. A man and his wife, both Christians, weie passengers in a schooner, which found¬ ered at a considerable distance from the land. All the natives on board promptly took refuge in ihe sea ; and the man in question, who had just celebrated divine service in the ill-fated vessel, called his fellows, some of thera being converts as well as himself, around him to of¬ fer up another tribute of praise and supplica¬ tion from the deep in which they were strug¬ gling, to tarry, with a conibinaiion of courage and humility perhaps unequalled in the world's history, in order deliberately to worship God in that universal temple under whose restless pavement the speaker and most of his hearers were destined to find their graves.
The man and his wife had each succeeded in procuring the support of a covered bucket by way of bnoy; and awaylhey struck with the  rest for Kahoolawe, finding themselves ne.xt morning alone in the ocean, afiera whole afternoon and nighl of privation and toil.    To aggravate their misfortunes, his wife's bucket wenl to pieces soon after daylight, so that she had to make the best of her way without as¬ sistance or relief: and ift^he course of the af¬ ternoon, the man became too weak to proceed, lill his wife to a certain  e.xtent restored  his strength by shampooing him in the water.— They now had  Kahoolawe in full view, after having been about four and twenty hours on the dreary voyage.   In spite, however, of the cheering sight, the man fell into such a state of exhaustion that the woman took the buck¬ et for herself] giving him, at the same time, the hair of her head as a towing line.   And, when even this e.xertion proved too mnch for hitn, the faithful creature, after trying in vain to rouse him to prayer, took his arms round her"neck, holding them together with one hand and making with the olher for the shore.— When a trifling distance remained to be ac¬ complished she discovered that he was dead, and, dropping his corpse, reached the land before night, having passed over upward of twenty-five miles, during an exposure of near¬ ly thirty-eight hours.—Simpson's   Overland Journal Round the World
Thbee Poets in a Puzzle.-—" I.led the horse to the stable, when a fresh perplexity arose. I removed the harness without diffi¬ culty, but, after many strenuous attempts I could not remove the ooUar. Indespair I cM- ed for assistance, when aid soon drew near.— Mi. Wordsworth brrought his ingenuity inlo exercise, but after several unsuccessful efforts he relinquished the achievement, as a thing altogether impracticable. Mr. Coleridge now tried his hand, but showed no more grooming skill than,his predecessors; for, after-twisting the poor horse's neck almb.'t to strangulation, and at the great danger of his eyes, he gave up theuselesstask, pronounced that the horse's head must have grown (gout or dropsy) since the collar was put on. for he said it was a downright impossibility for such a huge os frontis to pass through so narrow a collai.— Just at this instant, a servant girl came near, and understanding the cause of our consterna¬ tion, ' La, master,' said she, - you don't go aboul the work in the right way. You shonld dp like this,' when, turning the collar com¬ pletely upside down, she slipped it ofl" in a moment, to our great humiliation and wonder¬ ment, each satisfied afresh that there were heights of knowledge in thc world to which we had not yet attained."—Collie's life of Coleridge.
Hints to Agricultdral Societies.—We clip with great pleasure thefollowrng admi¬ rable advice fiom an English paper, lo those who propose contending for the prizes to 'be awarded for the best specimens of hogs, sheep and cows, at our approaching agricultural ex¬ hibition :
About April stuff your calves for the ap¬ proaching show, and put the tails of your pigs over night into paper. Have thera carefully slmmpooned by a skillful barber—thus re¬ moving the dirt which is occasionally found upon the skin even of the cleanest hog. Be particular also in washing your Berkshires in 'warm soap and wafer—let the little porkers have a good lathering particularly about the chops. Put a little Bear's grease or Roland's Macassar on the bead of your sheep, and pass fine-tooth combs through their fleecy wool. Trim your cows wilh satin ribbands, part the hair on the forehead down the middle, and fix it wilh a b-andaline. Apply Day & Martin's blacking liberally to the hoofs of yonr bulls, so thai they have a fine polish—wrap them up carefully in blankets and curry and rub them every morning—taking care to feet? them up on loaf bread, maccaroni and Bologna sau¬ sages.—Exchange paper.
Influence or Nature.—All men need sometimes to be alone and to be quiet. It is good for one tp open bis eyes and heart to the influences of the natural wprld. In the soli¬ tudes of nature, man's voice is silent only that Divine voices may be heard. There, if it is sometimes difficult not to think good thoughts. What we think of is determined very much by what obtrudes itself upon the senses. On ihe wharf, or the exchange, with the sights and sounds of business on every side, one's thoughts lurn naturally into the channels in whioh flow the ihoughts all around him. In the country, what one hears and sees suggesis entirely different medita¬ tions. The universal harmony stills his fret¬ ted passions. All the objects which the eye rests on, speak of infinite wisdom and provi¬ dential care. The atmosphere which he breathes is as healthy for the soul as it is for the body. He goes out at "eventide to medi¬ tate;'' and heaven and earth transfigured as their true glories are revealed, he returns feel¬ ing that he has been standing in the temple of the Most High.
Influence   of   Cleanliness A neat,
clean, fresh aired, sweet, cheerful, well ar¬ ranged, and well situated house, exercises a moral as well aa a physical influence over its inmates, and makes the members of a family peaceable and considerate oflhe feelings and happiness of eachother. The connection is obvious between the state of mind thus pro¬ duced, and habits of respect for. others and those higher duties and obligations which no law can enforce. On the Contrary, a filthy, squalid, noxious dwelling, rendered slill more wretched by its noisome site, and in which none of the decencies of life can be observed, contributes to make its unfortunate inhabitants selfish, sensual and regardless of the feelings of each other; the constant indulgence of such passions render them reckless and bru¬ tal ; and the transition is natnral lo propensi¬ ties and habils incompatible wilh a respect for the property of oihers or the laws.
Breach of promise.-^O'Connell mentioned a case in which he was professionally engag¬ ed—an action instituted by a IVIiss Fitzgerald against a Parson Hawkesworth for a breach of promise of marriage. " Hawkesworth, " said he, "had certainly engaged the lady's af¬ fections very much. He had acquired fame enough to engage her ambition. He was a crack preacher —had been selected to preach before the Lord-Lieutenant—his name occa¬ sionally got into the newspapers, which then was not often the case with private persons; and no doubt this notoriety had ils weight in the lady's calculations. The correspondence read upon the trial was comical enough.— The lady,-it appeared, had at one period doubted his fidelity; whereupon the parson writes lo re-assure her in these words:' Don't beKeve any one who says I'll jilt you! They lie who say so: and I pray that all such liars may be condemned to an eternity of itching without the benefit of scratching.' Three thousand pounds damages were given against him. He was unable to pay, and decamped to America upon a preaching speculation, which proved unsuccessfull. He came back to Ireland, and married the prosecutrix!"
From Pun<-h.
The Women's Charter.—We believe in the speedy freedom of the female sex.— That beautiful halfof crealion—and like the rosy aide of a peach, the much better half —has ton longbeen in bonds. The cunning, the selfishness, and the cowardice of man, have, apart and together, operated, for many thousand years, to crush the lovely flower, or, at best, that he might wear il—as one may say, in his button-hole, a little more than a fragrant, blooming ornament for a brief holiday. These days are fast going- dying upon the savij-all of time. At length women are beginning to know their own sli-ongth—at length tlie hour of equality is about to strike ; and when it has struck, the world will re.illy, for the first time, know what's o'clock. The women, be it known then, have resolved npon a charter, a triple charier, for maid, wife and witlow.
The Maid's Charter.—I. That unlimited pocket  money   should "begin al sixteen.—
2. That when, by the selfish neglect of the worst part'of the species—whom to name is often to blu.sh—the quesiion is not put, it shall be onerous upon the spinster to ptit the said question herself. 3. That she shall be permitted to break off a match eiiher al the beginning, the middle, or just at the end, wilh no liability for an action for breach. 4. That no such indulgence be granled lo the other party; and that trans¬ portation be aiUled to damages. 5. That neither father nor mother be asked for con¬ sent e.xcept by way of compliment, when it is known they have no objiction lo the gen¬ tleman. G. That when the mttiriage is sol¬ emnized, the Duke of Wellington shall give away the bride.
The Wife's Charter.—1. That the honey¬ moon shall last six monihs. 2. That the amount of household expenses be fixed by her; with an unlimited allowance for extras.
3. That she choose the watering place for the season. 4.' That she be nevor called up¬ on lo sil up; and farther, that she never be so¬ licited for a latch key. 5. That the husband invariably smoke in the garden, (if no gar¬ den, no smoking.) 6. That the Duke of Wel¬ lington be godfather to the first child.
The Willow's Charter.—1. That weeds— with the earliest dispatch—be turned inlo orange flowers. The widow's charier, il will be perceived, has only one point; but as that is lo possess all the points of the wife, her charter may he said to aim al seven.
"I never knew one that was in the habit of .scolding, able to govern a family," says a correct observer. '"'What makes the people scold 1 The want of self government. How then, can they govern others ¦?—Those who govern well are generally calm. They are prompt and resolute, but steady and mild.

Cheap Pleasures.—Did you ever study the cheapness of some pleasures ? Do you know how little it lakes to make a man nappy ¦?— Such trifles as a penny, a word, or' sraile, do the work. There are two or three boys pass¬ ing along—give them each a chesnut, and how smiling they look, they will not be cross in some time. A poor widow lives in a neigh¬ borhood who is the molher of half a dozen children; send thera half a peck of sweet apples, and they all will be happy. A child has lost his arrow—a world to him and he mourns sadly; help him to find it, or make him another, and how quickly will the sun¬ shine play upon his sober face. A boy has as much as he can do to pile up a load of wood; assist him a few moments, or speak a pleasant

We now began to e.xchange glances. Surely the assassin had not been brought here to wit¬ ness the burial of his victim—and yet what else could it be for? Had it been for trial, (as we had heard that the Danes often proceeded to instant investigation and summary punish¬ ment) we should probably have seen the tackle prepared for hanging the culprit at the yard- arm. This was not the case: and we all, therefore, felt puzzled as to the meaning of ol the scene.
