Is it to go to church to-day, To look devout and seem to pray. And ere to-morrow's sun goes down, Be dealing Blander through the town. Does every sanctimonious face Denote tbe certain reign of (race t Does not a phiz that scowlea at sin Oft veil hypocrisy within ? la it to make our daily walk, And of our own good dasda to talk. Yet often practice secret crime. And thus misspend our precious time. Is it for sect and creed to fight. To call our zeal the rule of right, When what we wish w, at the beet. To ace our church excel the rest. Is it to wear the Christian dress, And love to all mankind profess, To treat with acorn tbe humble poor, And bar againet them every door. O, no ! religion means not this. Its fruit more sweet and fairer til— Its precept is—to others do As you would have them do to you. It grieves to bear an illreport, And acorns with human woes to sport— Of others' deeds it speaks no ill. But telle of good, or else keeps still. And does religion this impart !

But my A WHALE ADVENTURE IN THE PACIFIC. BHAYWSERMARTINGALE. Whoever has read Capt. Scoresby's narratives, can perhaps form some idea of the perils of the whale fishery. Fearful scenes curiosity being somewhat excited to know how* he got such an idea, I added in a milder tone, ' What makes you think we shall get stove to-day, Jo V Oh,' said my dark-complexioned shipmate, It's of no use to tell you anything about it; you dont believe in dreams.' 'Oh, ho! it's a dream then, is it ? Well tell ns, I beg of you, what your dream was about ?' 4 Why,' resumed Jo, I dreamed while I was sleeping in my berth in the morning watch, that I was riding in a wagon, an elegant wagon, which I borrowed from squire • .

Give way, boys ; give way !' 'At length ye reached the ship in safety; lowered the waist boat with all possible despatch, shoved off, and reached the mate just as the boat bad filled. She was badly stove, by a blow from the fluke of the whale, just as the mate was planting a couple of irons into him : one end was nearly knocked to pieces, but by getting all of them into the other end, the crew managed to keep her afloat until we came to their help. We took the mate's boat in tow aud carried her to the ship, where we hoisted her in ; we did the same to tbe starboard boat, the captain's, which was first struck, and stopped the hole as well as we could, by nailing a piece of tnrred canvas over it; we then shoved off in the waist boat which lay alongside ; leaving the mate to get the craft, that is, the lines, harpoons and lances, into the starboard boat, and follow us as soon as possible. The whale was lying still on the surface ofthe water; we pulled up to him, and the captain planted another harpoon into him solid. This did not seem to affect him much; so we approached to lance him.— We soon got near enough to dart thelance; but the captain preferred the surer method of setting, and held his hand for a moment. But just as he was nbont to set the lance into his vitals, the wicked monster rolled head up, opened wide his ponderous jaws, and made towards the bout ! Tbe captain darted the lance into his throat with great force, waich seemed to astonish him a good deal, and caused him to close his jaws just clear of the head of the boat. He then settled right down in the water, and in a moment after came up directly under amidsnips. The next thing I recollect, was that we were all tumbled out of her together, neck and heels, in the most unceremonious ' tack that fierce and powerful monster of the ' Well,' I exclaimed impatiently, what deep, the sperm whale.

REFLECTIONS of the year 1815. Momentous thought ! another year lias winged its rapid flight, 'Tis past with all its sights and scenes Forever from our sight— Tis gone with all its hopes and fears— Its joys and sorrows—smiles and tears. On the clote Vain mortals ! insects of an hour, How fleeting is your life, How hard you toil for wealth and power, All eager for the strife ; Why would ye grasp an empty name A tyrant's or a miser's fame .' My youth's companions, where are ye ? And thou, the fondly loved— The world's a dreary waste to me Since from your midst I roved ; Have ye run out life's latest sands. Or gone like me to foreign lands ? Alas ! for many a saddened heart Will mourn Ihe year that's gone, To whom the world can ne'er impart The joys forever flown ; Nor bring I hem back, the loved—the lost— The beautiful—the parent's boast. Bleat is the man whore mental eye, Looks far beyond the world, He sees the glories of I ho sky Harmoniously unfurled— Bright vision of eternal youth, Eternal as the God of truth. Honolulu, Dec. 31st.
