Sue is too young to learn much. la school sho is serious; , but, out of school, she ut quite as playful ; as a kitten. She is learning to knit ; as well as darn a stocking, and to 1 sew. She says that she wishes she could do all kinds of fancy Work. A shorf time since I gave her a pretty j valentine which I had deceived from an unknown source, and she ran to her. mother, and handing it ~to her, desired her to S'hv?. ii to bur younger biot'uer.

I know some young people who choose their friends by the eye?the same as they choose a coat or a vest. I do not disapprove of this altogether ; for, there is certainly something in every huuum countenance, less prjnoro attractive, or less or more repulsive; and 1 would trust more to Lavatcr than to SPhtahelm. llut novor once form tho least estimate of a character until you hear him or her speak. Thq tones of tile voico are the best symptoms wl||e world whereby to from atruo and immediate judgemont of a character. They are the chords of tho soul; and if you have any enr for music, you inay ns easily judge of tho sterling value of the character us of a voilin or an organ. There is not a single feature of a character th.'lt is llfkfc rul in ?!>? tnnna r\f voice. I have been often takon with the appearance and countenance of young men in public assemblies, and yet tho very first lime I heard them speak, I found at once ihey were consummate blockheads. But whenever I found the countenance and the voice accord in sweetness, I could then form an estimate of the character, which, in all my lif, I have never had occaaiou to change. But there is one thing, I may aflirin?that in tho world, among human beitygs W among sheep, there is not one character, countenance, or voice, exactly liko another; and yet, among all this diversity, you scarcely find two individuals in whom thero is not some point of contrast which may rendor them agreeable and acceptable to each other.

Ih c%ei of # 1}c ]: otsczstle. The talc I lay before you is no romance, the facts having actually occurred some teh years since, on board of aBoston India mac. I was-tlicu young to theme of a sailor, and each scene ^t th^t ^iine witnessed is easier ^ brought to jgwid than tho occurrences of ' ^\o mat fbyaje.' "Never, in the eyes of her crew, was there a craft that could compete witli her, though so .rapidly and many have been the improvements since, that, in sober, trtlth,. could she ho placed side by side with ? a ship of tho present day,our opinions Would be overruled. Of her master, never better would mau broke bread or trod shoe-leather; one of the old school, lie was both sailor and gentleman ; neither were her officers wanting iu those qualities which endeared them to those under their command?and there were sterling old tars in her forecastle, who, iu the very sense of the word, belonged to heft voyjigc after voyage found tltcm still in the samo ship, at the snino station, growling, sailor like, tor tho samo imagined cause, and denouncing iu round terms some fixture, which for half a dozen years, thoy daily had pronounced worthy a situation in topbet. Don't imagine these warm wishes resulted in any ill feefing; 'twas but a sailor's characteristic?for did the new comer dare to lool: ugly when they condemned, the old salts would raise a breeze directly. Well manned, besides her coiuplenieut were ?o bo found the carpenter and sail-maker, whom Jack rated, together with 'cook and stoward, as petty officers, that always gave rise to a dis cussion never, as yet settled, which party, white or black, should be considered in the ascendant. In those days, and in that trade, there wore articles, to be found in tho inventory, ami considered as an essential part of tho materials, nowjj seldom carried by the merchantman. Those were big guns and small arms, boarding spikes and nettings, arm chests iu tho tops ; and, in short, on a ! small scale, tho llout cuscmblc, of tire man of war. Kvery Saturday, the. weather permitting, . wo went through a species of mnnuel exercise, working our guns, repelling, boarding extinguishing fires, slinging yards, ducking 'chips,' as be, in the mock combat, was lowered over tho side to plug a shot hole, and any ono of Cooper's. Guns again run in doing up a nautical engagement surpassing any secured, rammers and sponges becketcd, the shot laid in the rack, and all things ar ranged, then followed an early supper; and then, for a time, discipline was waived, and fun and frolic ruled the hour. The Saturday night of other days at sea?ayo! whero is the tailor who can look back on his past life, and not wish for an hour's enjoyment, or the seeming happiness of that short time do voted weekly to sweethearts and wives; the grog and the toast; home and friends recalled ; the pledge to the absent wife or dearly loved girl; the old song sung upon the occasion, the chorus of which all hands joined in, till space rang again, "liutthc standing toast, whicnpleased the most, Was the wind that blows, the ship that goes, And the lass that would wed a sailor!" The premonitory squeak of the fiddle bauished sentiment, and the lively strains of some hornpipe put music into our very heels, an we shuffled, broke down and changed in otir"fore and afters." When the ship's bell proclaimed eight o'clock, the fiddler camo up with his screws, the dancer laid by bis dumps, and every iriau returned to his place and duty without a word. Our happy routine, like all earthly enjoyments ; was at times interrupted. One Saturday, while repelling boarders, a mere lad, son of the captain, in a melee, fell overboard. Wo were going some six knots. As quick as thought, another boy, the pot of the forecastle, throw himself into the sea to save him. The father did uotrorget lie was master of a ship, and, with the coolness of a hero, he hovo her to, and pursued the u?ual steps.? His exam pic inspired others, and both lads were soon safe again, and the pet of the forecastle had his ears boxed by the shipper, whose son's life lie had saved, for cursing the luck because he had wet his tobacco. Cuffed as the pet was, it was evident that his bravefxf iiro j o (. *!? *? j ?f?wi IU m DMJjl hliaiAl him in the estimation of nil. There was less of noiso, more of grog, and as much of enjoyment that evening as on any previous. Months had passed?the 'pet's' popularity still continued, and from being rated a boy, ho was now. classed 'ordinary seaman.'-^ I More, he was appointed captain of a gun, the crew of which rejoiced in the sobriquet of iho 'awkward squad.' Where is there an instance of the rice of any one, unattended by the creation of enemies ? Our 'pot1 found oneW'the cook, wh6 was the awk wardest of the awkward, and reproof from the young gftmier, to him ,jvas dotjbly harsh. Wo were now upon our return home. The fair weather fivce of the Captain had become stem and foabidding^the mandates of the officers wero issued idpfonca harsh and petu-' Iant; while the crew, catching the contagion, obeyed-because they had to. A Saturday night had passed without the customary jollity, and the fonncf anpect of things had sad ly changed. > JWf < * ' * WvO|h*T' " \jbm u * _ i.o?'k r ' & Prior to ibis, all hand* ha<Tl>eciJ summoned upon tiro quarlcr-Jeck, nt^i in brief terms told tliut a theft had beeti ctfumitted. The supercargo's state-room" hadJ been entered, iu?d the pockets of a pair of pantaloons rifled vf a small-sum in gold. and Ms premises had been suatcued, and nothing .^ispqvorcd to colitirm suspicions.

All were indignant at the suspicion, and eagerly demanded the search. The 'pet' was at the helm when the Search was instituted, and :is bach individual 'kit' was overhauled, without affording a Clue to the theft or robber, the faces of officers, and men brightened. Imagine thf feelings of all, when, in tho chest of the favorite, wrapped in a colored rag, - e i .1.. i .. -M w iu? luuii'i tuc lust in mi. K evei mon seemed prone to doubt their senses, hbre was an instance. Nothing short of proof Eke this could have raised a suspicion eve? as to the honesty of him, who now, in the minds of all, stood convicted. Poor lad?untcooscious of the deed ho v;as in a certain measure found guilty, or, as he pursue<l l?b task bis mind was freer from enre than anrpf his companions, lie was ordered to relinquish the helin to thehatid of another, aid arraigned upon the quarter-deck, and in presence of all 011 board, accused of theft; antl the light hearted and happy boy of the moment previous, was now order cd to solitary continemeut in the sail-room abalt, and judged guilty to await punishment. Ho protested his innocence with sobs and tears, but there was nothing he could advance to refute $10 testimony against him. The flushed check and Continued manner arising from sharuo, were imputed to guilt; and the only kiud word addressed him by his judges, was the promise of a mitigation of punishment 'if he would confess his guilt, llis response of iunocenco 'was unbelioved, and considered as one hardened in sic ; he wuadiurried below. Heavy at heart were the worthy foremast hands, but ther? was ono still heavier ; the pidid cheek .and nettled frown of the muster, together with his hurried walk, told of the feelings of the inner man. Two or three days had elapsed, and still the crew had been spared witnessing the degrading punishment they felt it would be the lot of the lad to receive: and hones were arising in the bosoms of most that they would bo spared the sight of the application of the Isuh?and that confinement and a civil process at the end of the voyage would be allowed to supersede the barbarous custom. But these hemes woro dissipated by their being addressed by the Captaiu.to the eftbet that 'ho even had entertained a delusive feeling that something might occur, or some hid den fact be brought to light to woaken the proof against tho boy. Nevor, since I have been master of a vessel, have I been placed in such a trying situation; were he a son o1 mino, my feelings could not bo more poig nant. We will wait longer yet with the same hopes, but if at the end of this week uo new light is gained, wore he teu timesnij son, he must bo dogged.' The dreaded day came, and as tU* raer turned their dogged looks to tho clear blue sky, it seemed as though they would rebuke nature for wearing an aspect so illy according with their feelings, bilently and sad I) lengthened did the hours drag. Twaa now Into in the afternoon when the suppressed voico of the mate summoned all hands to wit ncss the punishment. As they assembled thoy wore more the loots of culprits than many bonk criminals could assume. Th< rough manner and hardy bearing of the sailor had become lost in the ascendancy oi their linor feelings as fide men. Men, appar ently callous to grief, who would have suffer ed the amputation ofalitnb without a groan or looked death on a lee-shore in the face with' out a shudder, forgot they ever assumed th< bearing of the rtoic, and now congregated it tears. *1 could have sewed that kul up in his hammock, aye, or tipped tho plank thai launched his corpse to Davy, without blubbering ; but as to this hero, I say, shiver thr man that can see it with a dry eyo.' All felt with the speaker, and the exam pie of an older man givo a free license tc tear?, to which the bronzed faces of the ntafc were unwonted. Unresisting stood, or rath er was supported, the boy, his extended arms socured by seizings to tho shrouds, his weakened frame, swollen oyc, pallid check, and throbbing breast, told of iiis sufferings, pas! and present. A word or look only, and hf would be levelled with the degarded tmite 'Say that you are guilty,' exclaimed th< master,'and the lash shall uQt touch youi back ! Own it, and you shall bo forgiven ! 'I cannot. Before God and man I am in nocont!' ? -v * The-Captain turned his head, And buriei his faco in liis handkerchief. At hia feet wai his son# grasping his knees, and exclaiming 'Oh, father, believe him, forgive him, h< is innocent, indeed he is!' 'Take away this bov!?ta>e him below, he may be spared what it ie my duly to wit noss." r . ' ,t-' The cook stepped forward to execute hii bidding. They boy refused to loosen hir grasp ; and while the cook was struggling jn vain endeavors to ronioVe him, lie was suddenly seized by the captain and thrown to the 'deck, with stunning violence. 'Seize this black villain 1 Sei/a> hitn I say !' as with the countenance of a madman he regarded tk? prostrate negro. Ere other hands could executo.his bidding, the c??ok writhed, Ueneath his muscular grttsp. r\Vretch, 1 have caught you at laetH?'don't appeal for mercy?don't dare to turn * supplicant lookl 1 knew it i J. f?iit ?: tt. and shout ing, 'cut down the boy !" ho fell fiiiuting into the arms of the men. Twos, however, bQt a momentary weakness ; recovering, he called for the boy, und embracing him, said? '13ut arnoment ago, I declared were you my son I must do what I conceived my duty ; I now say before all, forgive my unjust suspicions, Hnd l^trill be a father to you indeed. Twas the hand of Providence that intervened to save the boy. You see this rag. inen, it is what the gold was found wrapped in. I was to see \vno had a shirt like it, that I caused the secoud search to be mado; not even a similar shred was to bo found. But now, my eyes detected a patch on the cook's clothing to correspond, lie is the thief!?I give him up to you to punish. No appeal shall cause iny interference for mercy,only do not forget, villain 'as he is, that lie has a claim to humanity. On the spur of the moment three hearty cheeis were given for the captain, and three moro for the boy. The master withdrew lielow, tho uegro was dragged forward, after confessing his crime,and sumimary proceedings were instituted against him. A running bow line was clapped arouud his neck, the ropo rove through a whole iu the windless end, and the united strength of a few brought his breast in contact with it. Cobbing was decided upon, and custom had mode this place the whipping post.

This degrading punishment is now nearly obsolete, and never resorted to, save for some appalling crime. All hands unite in the flagellation, a blow or two being dealt ! by each person m turn, according to the ' amount received. 1 All preparations complete , there was an adjournment ou the part of the men, to the forecjistle, to decide as to the number of blows to bo administered. Long was their 1 consultation. Tlio captain, now cool, repen1 ted of the power ho had put in the men's 1 hands, and wished the ceremony, painful in its mildest sense, through with. His solitude w&s broken by the presence of the oldest tar in the ship, who stood, hat iu hand, in the cabin door. 'Well, Jack, what is it ? * 'Well, you see, sir, the boy is begging hard for tne cook ; and you know, sir, we never bad a hand licked in your ship?and ! seeing he's such a thundering rascal, we want ' to know it 'wouldn't be better to put the nigor in irons and give him up to the lawyer land sharks at the end of the voyage.' 'Upon my word, Jack,'the be-t plan in the 4 world.'

The idea of die world's redemption is the } most sublime conception of the Infinite mind j that has been revealed to man. We know p not what thought* exist in the depths of the Godhead, or what thoughts the Holy C ne has revealed to Other beings who dwell near est the eternal ihrone ; but we do know that ' no other thought, so awful and sublime as j this, has ever fallen upon the ears of listen( ing mortals. To fully dovelop this grand idea of Heaven, our blessed and holy Saviour i "trod the wine press of the fierceness and , wrath of Almighty God." And He, who ' thus suffered from the establishment of this , cause, gaic the great commission to go into all the world, and preach the gospel to eve^ creature. The sublimity of the idea is seen ( again in the scenie representation of the . apocalypse: "And I saw another angel fly ' in the midst of heaven; having the everlasti ing gospel to preach to thorn that dwelt on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people." Dnt it is not on' ly sublime.in thought; it is also sublime in j practical dfierudops. A commission ^rom Christ to preach the gospel to every ereature, carries with it the assurances that every 'r creature may receive it and be biassed by its t holy mission. It contemplates with an eye of benevolence this great prison house of sin and douth, and possesses the power to rend , the cells, and let in the light of eternal day, assuring"its inmates that they aro prisons of ' hope.

Coding home from Leipsio in the autumn season, he breaks forth in living wonficr at the fields of corn, 'How it 6tands therdf he says, 'erect on its beautiful tape stem, and bending its beautiful golden head with bread in it-? the bread of man sent to him* yet another year !'

Perhaps, indeed, in all m%n of genius, one great quality strangely developed might force out other qualities. Here was Luther, a savage kind of a mau, as people thought him?a wild Orsou of a man?a man whose speech waa f f ordinarily a wild torrent that went tearing down rocks and tree and behold him speaking like a woman or a child. But no sentimentalist was he ! A tolerant mau, but with nothing of sentimental tolerance. He went to the real heart of that matter. When his reforming associates made a vast fuss about a surplice that somebody or other wanted to wear, he ended tho matter with a 'what ill can a surplice do us ? Let him have - three surplices, if he will. That is not our^eligion, nor interferes with it at all. Domine nfiser rre mei. That is what we have to think ; that is what we must think the essential of Chiiatianity.' . 3?2m Nothing of what is commonly called cant, or pride, or ambition, was in Luther. It waa , thu that made him not hitrk?* tk?n ? ?ui?H mo IU>YtX?t man with a soul, not yet lower than the highest. Thus, when ho was threatened with Uio anger of'Duke George,' if he went to Leipaic, but ifhe had, nothing on earth should prevent him. If it rained Duke Georges for nine days running there he would go. Well, and this man, who thought and acted in thia way. paased whole life of suffering \ Ho waa a deeply melancholy man. More labor had fallen on him than he could rightly bear, and it was in vain t>> be released, he toiled and sorrowed on. Even with Satan himself, the evil principle of the world, was he destined to use high argument. Mpu would laugh at that, and a cheap game, indeed, was ridicule ; but bo it recollected that in Luther's days God and the devil were equally real, and that he thought he was from the fir?t, as whon'that vision of the crowded house tile of the old city of Worms, a man special* ly selected to fight with devils. Well, thqjj j he sat alone one night?he was translating the 121st Psalm, and pondering with deep significance ; ho had sat fasting for two days when the devil rose and stood before him, and opened the famous dialogue, accusing I Luther with crime,, and threatening him with hell, and terrifying him bo recant.
