•SCELLANEOUS 



BRIKF DISCOURSE. 

 TtXT — " Tkirc is a ivny that stenii(h rif^ht lo a 

 man, but the end iherenf" &;c. 



We hope it will not be deemed sacrilej;inus to 

 eiuote here this sul)iiiiie iirrcantiou from oracles of 

 divine truth, as ii text to discourse from in the man- 

 ner which (olloivs, although in aid of sulijccts of 

 somewhat a secular nature, appertaining, however, 

 to morality. 



It may seem riglit to a iiiiiii — to ne^'Iect payinif 

 his debts for the sake of li'ndiug or speculutiiia; on 

 his nio.iey, but the end thereof is — a bad paymaster. 



It may seem riulit to a man — to attempt to live 

 upon the fashion of the times, but the end thereof 

 is — disgnslmj; to all sensible folks, and ruinous to 

 health, reputation and property. 



It may seem rii,'ht to a man — to attempt lo ob- 

 tain a livelihood without indu.itry and economy, but 

 the end thereof is — htinger and rags. 



It may seem right to a man — to keep constantly 

 borrowing of his neighbors and never willing to 

 lend, but the end thereof is — very cross neighbors. 



It may seem right to a man — to be always trum- 

 peting his own fan.e, but the end thereof is — his 

 fame don't extend very far. 



It may seem right lo a man — to trouble himself 

 very much about his neighbor's business, but the 

 end thereof is — great negligence of his own. 



It may seem right to a man — to be constantly 

 slandering his neighbors, but the end thereof is — 

 nobody believes any thing he says. 



It may seem right to a man — to indulge his chil- 

 dren in every thing, but the end thereof is — his 

 children will indulge themselves in dishoiioring 

 him. 



It may seem right to a man — to put oft' every 

 thing that ought to be done today until tomorrow, 

 but the end thereof is — such things are not done 

 at all. 



It may seem right to a man — to obtain his news 

 by borrowing and stealing of his neighbors, but the 

 end thereof is — annoyance to his neighbors and 

 fraud upon the printer. 



It may seem right to a man — to pay every body 

 before he pays the printer, but the end thereof is — 

 he pays the most needy last, if he pays them at all. 



It may seem right to a man — to be incessantly 

 occupied in hoarding up Ihe treasures of this world, 

 but the end thereof is — ho has none in the world 

 lo come. 



lo his long rest in the ocean. The poor boy grew 

 frantic when his father was about lo be committed 

 to the waves, and was obliged to be held oft' by the 

 sailors. Al leiiyll), just as the fatal lurch cd' tlie 

 vessel was taking pl.ice, the boy, with the sirength 

 of a maniac, broke from the sailors and dashed 

 himself upon the body at the very moment that it 

 was sliding over the ship's si .e. It was too late 

 to save him, and clinging wildly to the dead body 

 of his father, the hapless boy was seen to make 

 one swift p'unge, and disappiar forever down, down, 

 into the eternal caverns of the migiity ocean. 



This was in lat. i)7,iong. 79, wh.ch was duly 

 entered on the log-book. The Coriolanus arriveci 

 at New York, coinplrtrd all the business preparato- 

 ry fi:r her next trip, and siiilcd ag.iin for Liver- 

 pool. 



[Take in a long breath, reader — it's coming.] 

 When in lat (ii', long. 48, an enor.iious shark 

 I was caught, and when hauled upon deck a most ex- 

 traordin:iry noise seemed to proceed from the huge 

 monster'.s stomach. The creature was opened, and 

 there was the father, the son, the grindstone, the 

 hatchet, and the chisel. O, if it aint true, then 

 never may another fish story be believed ! 'I'he 

 poor carpenter had not died, but was only in a 

 trance when they buried him, and there he was, 

 sharpening his halchet, while the sim was turning 

 the grindstone ! they having resolved to cut their 

 way out of the shark's stomach ! " 



The lital Shark Story. — As an oft'sct to soiie of 

 the ' heart rending ' shark stm-ies which we often 

 sec in the newspapers, the Now Orleans Picayune, 

 gives the following, which is singular and horrid to 

 an extraordinary degree : 



"Once upon a lime when the packet ship Corio- 

 lanus was returning Irom Liverpool to New Vork, 

 the carpenter, a very worthy man, was taken sick, 

 and after a brief iilnes.s expired on shi|)board. He 

 had an interesting .son, who was his assistant as 

 ship carpenter, and the boy loved his filher wiili 

 the most tend''r and filial affection. 'I'he poor 

 youth's hearl was almost broken at the loss of his 

 parent, and no persuasion coiilil induce him to leave 

 the body. — 'J'he usual preparations for a funeral at 

 sea were made; the poor carpenter was sewed up 

 in his winding sheet, and witli him was [lut an old 

 grindstone, hatchet and chisel, lo carry him down
