MFE VKNTUKE8. I stood and watched mjelilpj poout, Each one by oue, unmooring, free, What time tho quiet harbor filled With flood tide from the tea. The flrt that sailed, her namo wa Joy: 6he sjirrad a smooth, white ample sail, - And eastward drove, with bcndlng-spars, Before the singing gale. The next that sailed, her name was Hope', No cargo In her hold she boro, Thinking to find In western lands Of merchandise a store. Another sailed, her name was lave; She showed a red flag at the mast, A flag as red at blood she showed, And she aped south right fast. Tho last that sailed, her name was Faith; Slowly she took her passage forth, Tacked, and Inylto ; at last she steered A straight courso for the north. My gallant (hips, they sailed away, Over the shimmering, summer sea; I sat and watched for many a day, But only one came back to mc. For Joy was caught by pirate pain, Hope ran upon a hidden reef, And Love caught lire and foundered fast In 'whelmnlng teas of grief. Faith came at last, storm-beat and torn ; She recompensed mo all my loss; For m a cargo homo she brought A crown linked to a cross. Tho Contingency of "Innblllty." Dr. J. G. Holland, writing to The Century Maoazine for November (ro contly Scmiinku's Monthly) of tlio question of "Inability," mado tho fol lowing plen for giving tho Vice-Presl-dont ft moro important part in our po litical system: Wlillo Proshjcnt Garfield's llfo was trembling in tho balanco, tliero were, of course, strong considerations which mado against tho assumption of presi dential duty by tho Vico-Provldcnt, but there can bo no question that tho contingency which tho Constitution names as tho basis of such an assump tion existed during this wholo period. It was a genuino caso of "Inability." Why was not tho Vice-President en gaged in tho performance of his duty during this period? Wo suppose, in tho ilrst place, that such an assumption of duty might havo had a depressing effect upon tho President, and io might havo hindered his recovery. Thcro would havo been abundant populnr sympathy with this viow, nnd thoro is doubtless a great multitudu of pcoplo who would havo regarded tills assump tion of n plain duty as idcllcato and in considerate under tho circumstances. Tho real difllculty, however, was fur ther back than this, and it is timo it woro fully discussed and understood. Tho American people havo regarded tho Vice-President as ono who formed no part of an administration, but only as ono chosen to tako a dead President's placo, and to havo no important func tion except in tho contingency of death. In all rcNpcets ho is regarded as npossi lelo President, and not as ono who forms any part of any administration, except when by tho death of tho President, ho comes into an administration of his own. For instance, or illustration, wo saw Vico President Arthur operatingnt Albany in tho Interest of an enemy of tho administration, so little did ho re gard himself as having any identifica tion with tho interests of tho President elected with him on tho samo ticket, by tho samo votes. If Vice-President Ar thur had been a member of tho Gov ernment, with a seat in tho Cabinet, ho could not possibly liavo mado this signtil bluudor. And horo is tho difllculty. Wo havo made tho Vice-President ho res ident of the Senate, so as to givo rum something to do, but thoro is not tl o slightest natural relation between h!s office ol Vice-President and tho Senate. Where ho rjolongs Is in tho Cabinet. Wo know of no way in which ho can bo identified with tho Govcri.mcnt, cx- copt by giving him a vi ico in its eour.- boIs, asd wero this done, It would bo easy foi him to presido in tho absenco or inability of tho President. Wo do not liavo any troublo of thin kind with tho Lleutenant-Goven.or of a State, or with 'k tho vice-president of a corpora tion. Tho latter would not think of oloctlug a now boaid of directors as a preliminary to his engaging in presi dential duties, in caso of tho absenco or sickness of tho president. Then why must our vico-presld ?ntlul function be so clumsy a matter? If our Vice-Presidents, upon n.'sum- ing presidential duties, had not taken on tho idoa that tlioy must rovolutloiv izo ovorylliing, and havi a cabinet of thoir own ohooAing, and if tho po Iti- o(ar.s nnd tlio pcoplo did notoxpect thom to do It, wo should liavo loss difll culty, Wo elect a Prcsidont, and ho chooses his udviscrs and organizes n govonWHt. This is exaolly whftj tho pcoplo V"to oleU'.'d him to do. IIo ;s tho priiuj navorjMnd. rusted leader of his pajay M '8 govoinment of whfttp Proson!1. should bo a niomoi vr wmcu ho should no ailed -Jlo whonovor his iei'1 .dablod. On tlio , . An, Andrew John faoclarcif' fat ho "did not to adrqldster upon tho osiato Drndatn Lincoln." It was his way v faying that ho was not, and nevor lr 1 beon, a part of tho government un der Lincoln that ho did not npproyo ins poiioy, aim uiu not propc-a iooii tinuo it. Wo all know how little ho won to his own roputatioa by his changes, and howlltllo tho country had reason to rojoico in thom. Now it Booms to us that thero ought not to liavo beon any formal meeting of tho Cabinet after tho President was shot, without Vice-President Arthur in tho chair. If tliero wero no formal meet ings, on account of tlio absonco of tho President, thou thoro undoubtedly ought to havo been. It ought to bo easy for n. Vlco-Prosldont to tako tho Projiden' placo. Wo do not know how it over can bo, unloss in sonio way tho Vice President is Identified with tho Govern mcnt, and wo do not sot how ho can b Identified with tho Government unions ho hns n scat in its deliberations. It has been a great ralstako to soparate tlio Vloo Prcsidont from all administrative functions. Wo soo no reason why it is not just as proper to givo hitn a voto in tho Cabinet as a casting voto in tho Sonato. Ono Is certainly no moro arbl trary than other, whllo tho reasons for attaching him to, and Identifying lilm with, tho Government far outweigh all that can bo urged for retaining him as President of tho Sonato. It hns always bjen a ourfo to tho country this main tcnanco of separate Interests and sepa rate ambitions on tho pnrl of those hold ing tlio vicc-prcsldentinl oflleo. Hither to, thoso who, through tho death of tho President, havo como into tlio pros idontial olllcc, havo been, without an oxcoptlon, failures. They liavo under taken to instltuto a policy and govern' mcnt of tnnlr own, nnd tn mnko their administrations widely different from thoso of their predecessors. What John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, and Androw Johnson did, tho country Is only too fa miliar with. Thoy disgraced thcrasol vos, and damaged tho country. If thnyhad all simply undertaken to "administer upon the estates" of their predecessors, thoy would havo achioved a swcot ro- nown, but thoy mst themsolvos up as wisor men, of a divergent or opposing poiioy, and miserably failed My making our Vico-Prosidonts mem bers of tho Government, thoy would not only bo ready to assume presides tial functions without a jar, in caso of "Inability" on tho partof tho Prcsidont, but thoy would find thomsclves so thor oughly cn rapport with tlio Government, in caso of tlio President's death, that thoy would not bo tempted to mako fools of thomsclves by establishing a new government. Thcro ought to bo somo way doviscd for securing an cud so dovoutly to bo desired, and now is tho timo to dcvlso nnd enact it. Wise men and good legislators ought to find somo way of Identifying tho Vico-Prcsi dent with tho administration of his own party and timo. It would savo tho country from inflnito troublo and loss. If President Garllold could havo trust fully and confidently laid all his rcspon slbillties upon Mr. Arthur's shoulders, from tho timo ho v as shot, It would havo done moro for his rccovory than anything olso wo can think of. A Curious Article of Commerce. Ono of tho most curious articles of commorcn is ambergris, which is be- lioved to bo a morbid secrotion of tlio sperm whale: It is found floating on the soa, and in nppcaranco rcsoniblcs tho bark of a tree, being of a waxy na- turo and streaked with yellow, gray and blaok. Many ridiculous theories wero startod to account for its origin that it was tlio solidified foam of tho sea (cf. Meerschaum); that it was of fungoid naturo, the excreta of birds, cto. It is undoubtedly tho product of discaso; for tho whales in which ambergris has boon found nro either dead or much wasted, and ovidently in n sickly condition, Tho size of tho secrotion varies from ono-half an ounco to ono bundled or moro pounds. A pleco which the Dutch East India Company bought from tho King of Tjdoro weighed 182 pounds, and an American flshoi man found near tho Windward Islands a pleco which woighod 1!!0 pounds nnd was sold for 500. When takon from tho body of a whalo its odor is disagreeable, but on oxposuro to tho air it develops its pe culiar earthly smell. Although form erly applied as a uicdicino, its value do ponding moro on its supposod origin tU n from its Inherent qualities, its uso is now confined to tho preparation of perfumes. It is, I owevor, l nrely used alone, for it lias tho peculiar property of causing other bodies or mixtures to thryw out thoir odors. What is ordina rily sold in tlio f hops as essenco of am bergris is au alcoholio tlncturo of tho substanco, to which tho oils of rose?, cloves, oto., aro addud according to fancy. In tlio east amborgcls is still used in pharmaoy, nnd also tin a 11a- orlng nintorial in cookery.
