The question then discussed was the mariner’s church and the service required es- pecially for this class of citizens, and we therein stated that a bethel shou'd be in fact as well as in namea church where the sailor- man would be at ease while receiving the word of God, as it would be expounded by a sailor preacher, who understvod what his auditors were most in need of and who had the force of character necessary tv exemplify his teachings, otherwise the ropehauler would feel much likea fish out of water, and derive no more benefit from the service than the character whom our correspondent Royal has so faithfully portrayed in the following lines: How de do Davie, ’lite and hitch, there’s no one home but me; Thar a’int a man living sir, I'd sooner like to see % For Nancy and Liddy ’s gone to see a sick man on the hill And Jason’s gone to get a grist at Hiram Tur- ner’s mill, I was in town last Sunday, and my heart and me agreed To go to charch, and if you'll wait, I'll tell you what I seed— The bells war tollin’ lively on the balmy morning air 3 And folks seemed in a hurry, like the rushin to a fair.
