 THE MARINERS MORNING HYMN. 

 To Him who made ihe darUncss and tlie light, 

 The mighty ruler of the day and night, 

 Who bids the morning shed its hallow'd ray, 

 To glad the journ'yings of our watery way. 

 Your grateful song 

 In hymns prolong ; 

 Thw' far above all praise 

 Which Seraph's voice can raise, 

 He bends His ear, 

 And deigns to hear 

 Frail man's imperfect lays. 



Almighty Guardian, in whose holy keep, 

 SvVL^et are our slumbers, soolhinji is our sleep ; 

 We bless thy goodness for the night's repose, 

 And for our safety from a thousand woes. 

 Preserve us slill 

 From every ill, 

 And through life's future day 

 Be our directing ray, 

 Unlil in peace 

 Where troubles cease, 

 We rest this house of clay. 



Eternal Sovereign, Lord of land and sea. 

 This ocean, spacious world, belongs to thee ; 

 Thou hold'st tlie mighty waters in thy hand, 

 And storms and tempests wait on thy command. 

 The troubled maze 

 Roars forth thy praise, 

 When in their wild career 

 The mountain waves uprear 

 Their awful steep. 

 The yawning deep 

 Proclaims thy wondrous ways. 



Yet He whose frown is in the tempest's form. 

 And whose dread voice makes terri^'jle tlie slorm. 

 Once breathed on earth an infant's feeble cry. 

 And groan'd in death that man might never die. 

 His boundless grace 

 To our lost race, 

 And goodness we'll adoie. 

 When tides have ceased to roar, 

 And deep in night 

 Yon orb of light. 

 Has sunk lo rise no more.

NOISY CURS. 



Every city is tnnibled with r.oisy curs, who 

 disturb "the .silent watcher of the tii«lil with iheir 

 clear throatid clamor. Often when the nervous 

 and fiTifiil invalid begins at lust to hope for re- 

 pose, that hope is blasted by the long and dismal 

 howl sent abroad upon the silent inidniglit air, to 

 awaken a thousand echoes and responses. Jn 

 truth, the owners of dofjs should teach them good 

 manners. Dogs are aireclionate and docile crea- 

 tures, and can be taught any thing. If dogs, how- 

 ever, break the peace of eonimuiiity, the owners 

 inusl account for the same. 



If doge are not morally responsible, (lliey are 

 ill strictin^ss of reason mme responsible than some 

 brutes of men) their ownerij are justly accounta- 

 ble for their good breeding and ipiiet deportment. 



The Ettrick Shepherd used to tell wonderfid sto- 

 ries of his dog, who would look up in the minis- 

 ter's face ol a Sunday, and understand every word 

 he said. Now, allliougli we would not care to 

 have all our curs quite so well educated, yet they 

 should be taught to keep quiet, and not to bay the 

 moon, or converse with tli(;ir friends three miles 

 off. We are friendly to good ilogs, but these 

 night disturbers, like roystering blades who are 

 owling, should be efficiently caged and gagged. — 

 The following will leach these noisy curs the 

 law. Their masters should read the report lo 

 thcin with the horsewliip on the first offence. — 

 TlKue is no difficulty in making a dog understand. 

 —L. I. Star. 



The National Intelligencer contains a long and 

 fidl report of a trial in Washington, the result of 

 which is somewhat interesting. The defendant 

 was indicted for harboring a nuisance — to wit, a 

 dog that barked furiously all night long, to the 

 sore distmhance of the neighbors, from whose 

 eye-lids sleep was thereby driven. The jury re- 

 turned a verdict of guihy, and the court imposed 

 a fine of .$20. It was i)roved on tlie part of the 

 defendant" that since the finding of the indict- 

 ment the dog had materially amended his man- 

 ners barking much les^ than bad been bis wont 

 before ; and' the fact was explained by one of the 

 witnesses for the defendant, who testified that she 

 had given him a dose of paregoric every night, 

 having found the benefit of that process, by ex- 

 perimenting upon the children of the defendant, 

 in whose family she was em|)loyed as nurse.— 

 'J'here are many dogs in this city, to which the 

 same prescription might be administered with ad- 

 vantage. 



Consumption. — In looking over the N^ York 

 weekly returns of deaths in that city, we find out 

 of 113 deaths, 34 were of consumption. .Nearly 

 all these were females. So it will contin^fe to be : 

 this insiduous disease will consign to the grave 

 the good and lovely of our species, so long as they 

 e.xpose their lives and health by imprudently wear- 

 ing thin shoes, and light and ineflicient clothing. 

 Females are often in the habit of going abroad in 

 the same thin satin slippers they have worn in 

 their sitting rooms. The consequence must be a 

 sudden chill from the cold side walk or damp 

 street, that may perhaps terminate in inflamma- 

 tion of the lungs. There is no pleasure in see- 

 ing a pretty foot exposed in a shoe, fit only for a 

 carpeted room ; when we reflect that such temer- 

 ity may bring upon its owner consumption and 

 death. .We say nothing of the thoughtless (and 

 we are not .sure but that word is not a little too 

 charitable) exposure of neck andeliest to our cold 

 and varying atmosphere. Our ladies dress too 

 much for the streets. Home should be the place 

 for the e.xhibiliou of their skill and taste in dress; 

 in going abioad, their principal C5re should be to 

 "uard a"ainst the least sensation of chill. And 

 here vanity, wo should think, might whisper the 

 propriety of this, for the pm p!e cheeks and blue 

 lips of a belle, are any thing rathi'r than becom- 

 ing. The ladies of Russia, in the winter season, 

 where they are infinitely beyond us, by the way, 

 in the art of warmmg their bouses, wear at home, 

 even in their severest climate, dresses such as our 

 f -males would assume only in stnnmer, but when 

 they go abroad, their whole |)erson is enveloped 

 in the rich and tastefully liiHul cloak of fur. The 

 feet are guarde.l with boots lined and tojiped with 



fur. This mode of dress must be quite as becom- ' 

 ing and certainly more consistent with reason and 

 health, than that of our own country women. IJnt 

 it is not in the extreme cold of winter that our fe- 

 males are most apt to expose themselves. It is du- 

 ring the fluctuating weather of fall and spring,! 

 when the most care is requisite to provide against 

 the changes in the atmosphere, that their impen- 

 dence in dress is conspicuous. — ForUund Cou.
