But their sublimity i* terrible from the consciousness of danger, with which their^ exhibitions are witnewed—-and besides, tiieir violent agency is impulsive, sudden, and tran-. sient. Not so the glorious Ocean. In itt very playfulnetf you discover that it Ja» be terrible as the Earthqunke but the spirit of benevolence seem* to dwell in its bright and

for hen all is life and movement.-^

_'his is not the stationary beaaty of rurpl scenery, in which objects retain their fixed and relative position, and watt to be examined and admired in detail* No, the Ocean presents a moving scenery, which passes in review before and around you, challenging admiration. These gentle heaviogs of the great deep, with its unruffled surface—these breakings up of its waters into faotAstic and varifd forms these haltings of the waves to be thrown forward presently into new formations these giant billows, the sentinels of the watery wildemess—all, all are beautiful—and though in their approach they may aeem furiouis and pregnnnt withdrtitructiou, yet there is no danger, for they come only with salutations for the 1'ilgrim of tliedeep, and li they pass her bows or stern retiring backward, seem, as from obeisanoe, to ki*s their hantis to her In token ofadieu. *$L

OCT. 81.—This day 'l was gratified wan whht I had often desired to witneis—the conditioe of the sea in a Tempe»t Not thpt I would allege curiosity as a sufficient plea, for desiring that which can never be witnessed without more oi less of dsnger to the spectator and still less, when the gratification exposes others *o anxiety and alarm. Let me oe understood, then, as meaning, my drsire to witness a Storm was not of such a kind as to make meindifferent to the apprehension which is calculated to awaken.— But nside from this, there was nothing 1 could have desired more. I had contemplated the Ocean in aW Its other phases—and they are almost innumerable. At one time ifis seen reposing in perfect stillness under the owe sky and bright sun. At another, slightly ruffled, nnd then its motion causes his rays to tremble snd dance in broken fragments of silvery or golden light—end the fright is daxsled by following the track from whence his beams are reflected—while all beside seems to frown in the darkness of its ripple. Again it may be seen somewhat more agitated and of a darker hue, under a clouded sky and a stronger and increasing wind.' 'Then, you ,'see an occasional wave, rising a little above the rest, an crowning its summit with that crest of white, breaking from Its top and tumbling over 'ike liquid alabaster. Now af far as the eye can reach, youeee the dark ground of OeOan enUvetted and diversified by these panoramic anow-hilla* As they approach near, nnd especially if the sun be unclouded, you see the light-refracted through the summit of the wave, in the most pure pale green, that it is possible either to behold or imagine. 1 had seen the Oeean, too, by jroooh-light, and as much of it as may b&fwen in the darkness, when the moon and stars nfO veHed.

ThesQ imitations are oftentimes iWiibfiii, as far as they g^.bi^. they are nt-tfessarily deficient in accompaniments which painting cannot supply, and are therefore feeble and ineffective. You hive, upon canvass, the Ship nnd the Sea,' but as they come from the. hands of the Artist, so they remain. The universal motion of both are thus arrested and made stationary. There is no subject in which the pencil of the painter acknowledges more its indebtedness to the imagination than in its attemptsJtadelineate the Sea-Storm. But even could tne attempt he succeaafel. So far as the eye is concerned, there would'still be wanting thejfusbing of the hurricane, .he groaning of^ the masts and yards, the quick, shrill rattling of the cordage, and the ponderous dashing of tne uplifted deep. All these were numbered among the adva^ta* gesof my position, as firmly planted, I opened eyes and ears, heart aiid soul to the beautiful ^rightfulness of the Tempest around and the Ocean beneath me.

At this time thb hurricane was supposed to boat the top of its fury, and it seemed to roe quite impomble for winds to blow more Violently. Our noble ship had been reduced in the scale'of proportion by this sudden transformation of the elements, into dimensions apparently insignificant. She had bacome a mem boat to be lifted up and dashtKl dowir by the caprice of wave after wave. ?f'"

The weather, especially along the surface of theses, was thick and haxr, so much so Unit yon could ixtt See more than a mile in any direction* But within that horioon, the spectacle was one of majesty and power* Within IhSt eieetintlei»ocev there were mountains and plains* the alternate rising and sinking of which seemed like the action of some vulcanic, powerbeneath. You saw immense masses of uplifted waters, emerging out of the darkness on one side, and rushing and tumbling across the valleys that remained after the passage oif their predecessors, until, like them, they rolled away into similar darkness bke the other. These waves were not numerous, oot rapid in their movements but in massiveoeS* and elevation they were the legitimate offspring of a true Tempest. It was this elevation that imparted the beautiful pale and transparent green to. the billows, from the summit of which the toppling white foam spilled itself over and came falling down toward you with the dash of a Cataract. Not less magnificent than the waves themselves, were the varying dimensions of tho valleys that remained between them. You would expoct to see these ocean plain* enjoy it as it worn a moment of repose, but during the burrwawfoVfnraxy this was not the case. Their

That Iter husband Is worthy of his good fortune, is proved by the fact that all the world have been talking about him lor the Itfftt twelve months', without ottering a word tb fits dispraise.

My dear friends—-Tirite is a monster,^ver1 whom ho earthly power can eiercise control* His home is 'amid the rolling spheres of the universe and the myriads of worlds thiit spangle the heavens are his playthings. His voracious appetite is never cloyed. He make* his mesls of mm—swallows* nntions at a mouthful, and picks his teeth with the points of the pyramids of Kgypl,*and 1 eXpcct that -when he shall haVe swept this terrestrial board, he will gulph down the earth itself, by way of a cathartio pill, and give up th« ghost with a groan that shall cause creation to creak and crumble into chaos. Although the first foot prints that ho made upon the World's sandy shore, are mostly obliterated by the wane of oblivion, the iracjts thai he now leaves behind him aro perfectly visible, and boar fhtf marks of irremediable violence. Here a beau* tiful blossom of hopo haa been crushed to earths-hero be has trampled wantonly upon our new-sown bods ot joy, and. anticipa* tion—and here he ha# tangled up some of the tallest grass that ever grew in the fertile meg« dow of a mortal's mind* I?

My friends—you may take TinW by thd forelock, but there is no holding him by tho skirts. He mil go on, destroying nnd to destroy, in spite of alt human exertions* Yoa mint aU sooner or later be cut down by him —even though you be run up by a rope, and cut down by the hangman. Therefore be pre* pared—young, old, male and female, fo fall, when you fall, upon ths soft bed of resignation, and as gently foils the dew upon tho volvet carpet of earth. As the flowers of fho field, that fall before the mower's scythe, breathe out their sweet souls in perfume to the breeze, so may you, ye young^and beautiful creatures of the tender sex, if cot down in your bloom, send up the fragrance of virtue to heaven at the evening hour of existence, ond yield your spirits into the handsr of Him who gave them, calmly, resignedly, atod without a murmuring whisper. And oh, my dear ffiend»rbefV*pared one and all Yoa know not how soon you may be cropped from your native soil, and left to wilt in the uncoo^eoi* at atmosphere of the tomb. Tho scythe of Time is now sweeping noiselessly among your feHow companions. I ou see them silently dropping, ono by one, like the frail October loaves and you know not but you are standing directly where the next fatal stroke is to be made.
