On my way across the Sound I fel in with two old sea-captains-Johi Streeter and Asa Morton-with whor I had some slight acquaintance. Street er was about three-score, and had fol lowed the sea during most of his life Morton was considerably younger, bu still -a seaman of much experience The subject of the abolition of floggin, in our navy came up in course of con rersation, and Captain Morton express ed himself very decidedly in favor o keeping up that time-honored institu tion, the cat-o'-nine-tails. "I am not prepared to say," remark ed Captain Streeter in reply, "that thi condition of our men-o'-wars-men wil be in every case benefited by the abo lition of flogging, though I am sun that it might be so. I mean that thq officers have it within their power t< do away wita nearly all kinds of pun ishment-that is, of course, for suci offense as are usually punished or shipboard." "For my part," returned Morton, " should not care to take command of a ship if the power to punish refractorj seamen as I thought proper were taket from me." "Well," resumed Captain Streeter, "I used to think just so. In fact, ther( were few masters more passionate o: severe than I was. Men used to rut away from me, and, on more than on( occasion, my very life has been in dan. ger from the vengeance of men whon: Ihad abused. I used the cat and the rope's-end almost as freely as I used my tongue; and I often wondered hou it happened that I always had the laak to get such bad men.

In reply he tolc me thaalmig-kill him if I liked; anm I flogged himW with the end of the mis zen-topgallant halliards till ho couli hardly stand. I asked him if he hac had enough, and he told me that might tiog more if I wished it. I fel a strong temiptation to throw the be: overboard, but at that moment h staggered back against the mizzen mast from absolute weakness, and left him to himself.

" 'I didn't hear ye.' he said, wit] raher an independent tone. " 'No words,' said L. "'I s'pose I can speak,' he retorted moving slowly towards the companion way. "His look and his words, and th slow, careless manner in which h moved, tired me in a moment, and grasped him by the collar. -'-Speak to me again like that,' sai' I, 'and I'll flog you within an inch c your life!' " 'You can flog away.' he replied, a firm and undaunted as a rock. "And I did flog him. I caught u] the end of the hrst rope that cam handy, and beat him till my art fairly ached. But he never evel winced. "'How's thab?' said I. "'-There's a little more life in m yet thrat you'd better flog out,' was hi reply. "And I beat him again.
