On the op of the bcomcovcr, and in the lull glare of the level sun, lay Jlack Jake, Hie jig maker of the ship, and a s-' iking specimen of African pe eu'.iantie, in whose single person they ytirc all strong'y developed. His flat roe was dilated ol unusual width, and his ebony cheek fan ly giisttned with deJigit. as be looked up at the gambols of a la re mor.kcv , which clinging to the jnatn stav,iust above J ake's woolly head was chaueiinrr and grinning baek at thei tnino a it there exis'ed some means of ns'itnal inte ligence between them h, was mv wretch on deck, end I bad been Standing several minutes leaning on the main file rail, amusing myself by observ ine 'he anticksot the black and his con renial playmate; but at length, tit ing ol the rude mirth, had turned towards tne tafTtel, to gaits on the mere agieeAble f eatures of that scene, which I had feebly attempted to describe. Jut at that mo Tner.t a shout and a meny laugh b r i t Upon my car, and looking quickiy lound, to asccnain the caue of the unusual sound on a frigate's deck, I saw little Bob Stav. ('as we called our commodore's Eon,) standing halfway up the main hatc h ladder, clapping Ids hands & look-j ing alofi at some object that seemed to npiie him with a deal ol" glee. A eiugie glance to the main vard explained 1 the occasioned this u.eirimen'. He had been coming up from the gun deck, ! -when Jacko, pet ceiving him on the lad-j d r, dropped euddtn.y down from the j main sUy, and running along the boom cict, leaped upon Bob's ihouldcr, ci- I ncd his cap from his head, and immedi-; ntely datted up the maintopsail sheet, c thence to the bunt of the main yarr, i Tvhere he now sat, picking threads horn the tassels of his prize, ami occasionally , scratching his side and chatteiing as if; villi exultation for the success of his ' mischief. Ihit Bob was a spiightly ac-i itvc little fellow; and though he could not climb quite as nimbly as the m nkev, i -.m ho ha n, mind to lose his can withof Jake, who seemed inexpressively delighted at the occun ence, and endeavor--vi Kv nmt.iin1TBhmitthp h,inm sloth, shaking his hue misshapen head, and sundry other grotesque actions, the rdraiune for which he hed in words.

The monkey looked dawn from his irrch,as if he undets'ond tlic threat of the negro, and chattering a sort of de &anee in answer. Ha, ha' MarSfav, he say you mus awi.

In a second more his hand was on the futtockfa. "Massa 5tay!"cned Jake, who sometimes from being a favouic, ventured to take liberties with the younger officejs, Massa Stay, you best crawl through tie lubber's hole it take a sailor : to climb the futtock shroud " But he had scarcely time to utter his pretended caution, before Bob was in the top. The monkey in the meantime had awaited his approach, until he had got nearly up the rigging; when it suddenly put the cap on is own head, and running aiong the y at d, to the opposite side of the top, sprang up a rope, and thence to topmast backs ay, up which he ran to the topmast crosstrets, where it egain quietly seated nselt, and lesumed its wok of picking the tassel to pieces.For several minutes I stood watching my little messmate follow Jacko from one piece of rigging to another, the monkey all the while, seeming to exert only so much agility as was necessary to elude the pursuer, and pausing whenever the la'tci appeal cd to be growing weaty ol the chase. At last, oy this kind ol ma noevering the mischievous animal sue ceeded in enticing Bob as high sthe royal mast head when springing sudden ly otTthc royal stay it run nimbly do to the foretop gallant mast head, thei ce down the rigging to the fotetop, when leaping on the foreyaid, it ran out to the yard arm, and hung the cap on the end of the studding sail boom, where takh g its seat it raistd a loud and exuliihg chattel ii j Bobby this time was com pletely tired out, and, pet haps unwilli.g to return to the tick to be laughed at for his fruitless chase, he sat down in the royal cross trees; while those who fiad been attract d bv the snort, returned to their usual avocations or amusements. I he tnonkev: no ioneer the object of pursuit or atten'ion, lemained but a little vthiieonthe yard arm; but soon taking up the cap, retu tied in toward the slinks ' and dropped it down upon the deck. Some liltU piece of duty occurred at this moment to engage me, as soon as which was performed I waked alt, and leaning my eibew on the taff-il wa ejunk.y lost in scenes very difFei t n hum toe small pantonine I had just been wit nessing Soothed by the lov hum ol the crew, and by the quiet loveliness around, my thoughts had navelled tar a way from the realities of my situation, when I was suddenly startled by a ciy from b!ack J.-.ke. which brought me on the instant back to consciousness. My God! Massa Scupper cried fie, "Massa Stay is on de min troikl" A cold shudder ran through my veins as the word reached my ear I cast my eye sup it was too truel The advemu rous boy, alter resting on the roy.-vl cross i trees, had been sciied with a wish o go j still higher, and impelled by one of those impulses by which men are sometimes j instigated to place themselves in immi oent peril, without a possibility of good j resulting horn (he exposure, he had 'climbed the skysail pole, and at the mo i mcnt ot my tooKing up, was aciuany standing on the maintruck! asmall cir cuhr piece of wood on the very- summit of the loftiest mast, and at a height so great from the deck, that my brain turned dizzy as I looked up at him.

It was comparatively easy to ascend but to descend my head swam round, and my stomach felt sick at the thought of the perils compns. d inthat one. word I hcie was nothing above or around him but the empty air, and be neath him, nothing but a point a mere point a ?mall unstable wheel, that seerm d no bigger horn the deck than the button on ihe end ot a foil, and the ta per sky sail pole itselt scatcely large. than the b.adc Dreadful temerit! If he should attempt to stoop, what c uul he take hold ot to stec-dv his descent? His feet quite covered up the small ai d fearful platform that he stood upon, and bei eath that a long smooth naked spai, whiih seemed to bend with his w;cight, w as all that upheld him from destruction,, An attempt to get down from ' that baa eminence," would be almost certain death; lie would inevitably lose his e quiiibtium, and be precipitated to the deck, a crushed and shapeless mass Such was the nature of the thoughts that ; hail him, and inform him ot his danger, ; wou.d be but to ensure r. is i utn ' Innrod.

Maggered up against the bulwarks When my eyes were once turned from j the dreadful object to which thty had been tinted, my sense and consciousness came back. 1 looked atouod me the deck was already crowded with pen pie. The intelligence of poor Bob's temcrisy had spread through the ship like wild-fire as such news always will and the officers and ctcw were all crowding to behold the appallirg, the heart-rending spectacle Every one as he looked up, turned pale, and his eyes became fastened in silence on the tiuck like that of a specatoi n the gallows with a steady, last, nnblinking and in tense, yet abhorrent vi re, as if momently expecting a fatal termination to the awful j suspense. No one n.adt a suggestion none spoke. Eeiy feeling, eveiy faculty seemtd to be absorbed ai d swallowed up in one det p intense emotion of agony. Once the fi;st Li utenant seized the ttumpet, as if to hail poor Bob, but he had scarce raised it to his lips when his arm dtopped tgain, and sunk listlessly down beside him. as if from a sad conscious ness of the utter inutility ot what fie had been going to say Eery soul in the ship was now on the spar deck, and eve iy eye was turned i the main tiuck. At this moment there was a stir among the crew about the gangway , anddirectly after another lace was added to those on the quarter deck it was that of the old commodore, Bob's lather. He had come alongside in a shore boat, without having been noticed by a single eye, so intense and univctsa was the inteiest that had fastened every gaze on the spot where pool B b stood trembling on the awful veigeo' fate The commodore asked noi a question uttered not a sy table He was a da i k faced, austere man, and it w . s iho't by some of the midshipmen that he ente i tained but lin e affection !br his son.

OHIO KEFORMKtt MEDICAL COLLEGE S&orttiCufitcurrHE public are here!)) informed that an

JL institution is established and m successful operation in the city of Ncw-Yerk. denominated 'The Reformed Medical College;" under the jurisdiction of the reformed medical sonety of the United States that this institution has arisen from its own intrinsic merits, notwithstanding the oppo sition of illiberal and interested ph) sicians, o an eminence which has exceeded the most sanguine expectations of its friends. Animated b the flourishing stale of this college, and feeling aa ardent desire still further to disseminate the valuable system cf practice therein taught, a second school of the same character was established in December 1830. in the town of W orthinston, denominated "The Ohio Ketormed Medical College.' This college w as chartered by the siateasa literarv institution; and, subsequently, the board of trustees ado; ted th'. bove, as the medical branch of their institution, where all the various branches of the healing art are taught on the reformed system. A number of young gentlemen have here commenced their studies, and numerous others have applied for admission. Its locality procnts the greatest advantages to fac dilate rest arches in medical botany: the surrounding country abounding with a great variety ct medicinal plants and vegetable productions. It is situated neat the centre of the state, on the hetstone river, nine miles north of Columbus, on the northern turnp'ke, and is one of the most healthy and delightful v illages in the western country.

The nci cessity for an institution ot this kind, under the direction of competent professors, must be strikinglv evident to all who have refcecteclon the suoject of medic al refoim. Here a system of practice is taught, altogether superior to that taught in cther schools, or pursued by other physicians; the t en e dial agents being derived from the vegetable kingdom. The efficacy of this practice has been proved, tor more than half a centu y, combining the improvements of the most distinguished re tonne rs of the present or any o in i age. Its superiority lias been so rept itedly demonstrated, as to satisfy the u.osi wavering and sceptical. It has been toted in every variety and form of disease; and its salutary effects witnessed wheiethe tnetcurial or mineral treatment has been pursued without any beneficial effect, but to the great injury of the constitution. The benefits to be deiived by an attendance at this institution will, w e tt ust. be truly appreciated bv those ho wish to acquire a correct knowledge of the healing art Here the student will be taught all the mo dern practice which is deemed necessary , in :ul ition to the botanical; and in conse qwnce of his residing near the institution and pursuing a systematic course of studies, combining each of the departments -f mcthone, he may acquired know ledge of both in a short space of time, and at a very small expense in comparison to that of other medical institutions.
