For the Journal. A LESSON. IlY MRS. P. C. DOLE. Lost yesterday, where none may pure return, A noble boy all full of gentleness; Lost where the tires of hell forever burn, And light the wrecks of human wretchedness, Lost where the rum-flend holds his potent sway, Lost yesterday. Found to-day, helpless in a narrow street. His face upturned toward the scorching sun, A nameless sot! the hurrying, heedless teet Of strangers pass, who cares for him? Not one. Oh, pitying Christ! assist this wretch I pray. Found to-day. For him a glad to-morrow may not come, For him no glorious hopes of hallowed bliss, For him no tender hearts, no happy home, Crowned with the light of love and happiness. Oh! friend and brother, guard your steps with care, Danger is there. The tempting lips invite your steps to stray, Aud tempting cups are red with ruby wine, And tempting hands like serpents lead the way Toward tlieir hellish, soul-seducing shrine. Be true to your own soul, and God will be Near unto thee f !alc$ autl A BATTLE AT SEA. BY AN EYE-WITNESS. [Concluded from yesterday's paper.] Only one coward disgraced himself that day; that was a man at one of the lower deck guns, who. seizing an opportunity, slipped down into the cock-pit and hid among the wounded. After the engage ment, a master-at-arms spying him, gave him a curse, and sent him on deck. lie afterwards had three dozen w itli t he thieves’ cat, the word “coward” sewn on his jacket, and he was made to mess on the main deck by himself. About half-past three, the bight of the main sheet hanging down over the port hole, annoying us in the working of out gun, I and another seaman were ordered on deck, to haul in the slack and gel the rope clear of the muzzle. I can't say I liked the job. for I had a deep impression on mv mind that 1 was safer at my gun than elsewhere; nevertheless I felt go i must, so up I ran. On gaining the main deck, 1 found it a terrible scene of carnage and devastation. A dreadful crash, which I had just heard, as if the ship’s whole side had been stove in, was, 1 found, occasioned by two marble shot of one hundred and twenty pounds each, which had struck the main-deck abrest of the main-hatchway, knocked two ports into one, and killed and wounded five men. 1 saw Captain Bath urst coming down the poop ladder, when a splinter from the bulwarks carried away the tail of his cocked hat. He took it off, looked at it, smiled, then came down on the quarter-deck—the most exposed part of the sliiji—and issued his orders with as much calmness as if he had been only at gun exercise, while with his sword drawn lie calmly paced the deck, amid showers of shot and splinters. The rigging was torn to pieces, the yards looped up and down, the lifts were torn away, aud the quarter-deck was so strewn with splinters, that it looked like a carpenter’s shop. All at once the captain looked up aloft and said, “The union-jack's shot away!” and instant ly sent me to Davy, the signal-man, to get another. As I went up, I saw the Asia a cable's length astern of us, and the ad miral standing on the poop-netting, hail ing us. “Genoa ahoy through a speak trumpet. He wanted a boat from us with a Hawser, to sw ing his ship clear of a Turkish tire-ship that was drifting down upon him. 1 asked Davy for a union-jack, he drew one from his breast, where he had crammed it before the action, in case it might be wanted. When I went back to help luy comrade with the hawser, I found tlie hammock-netting, where I had just stood, torn to pieces, and a poor fellow lying on his face, dead, on the deck. The captain snatching the tiag from Davy called out: non go anil nan me i>nu«n union jack to the fore royal masthead A good looking fellow, named Neil, stepped forward, took it, and began to make the best of bis way up the tattered sbouds of the fore rigging. I looked up soon afterwards and saw the cool determ ined fellow clinging with his feet to the royal mast, and hammering away with a serving mallet. I and three other men then got into the boat alongside while two others coiled in the hawser that the Asia wanted. From the boat 1 had a line view of tlie fleet, and could see the two Turk ish lino-of-battle slops, one on tire but still incessantly |>ounding at us. The Asia, at this time, had only one large liner and a double-bank frigate plying upon her. When we had shoved off with the hawser, we found the sea covered with wreck and drifting masts and yards, to which hundreds of drowning wretches were clinging; they called out to us im ploringly in Turkish. When we got six fathoms from tho Asia we found to our disgust tiiat the hawser would not reach; so one of our men, George Finney, the captain of our main top, seeing there was only one way, swam to the Asia, and dragged back witli him a hawser. They reached him from the gun room port, and we then joined the two ropes with a Carriek bend. As we pulled back to the Genoa we saw the Admiral on the poop of the Asia waving to us w ith his handkerchief to make all speed. We had scarcely got half way home before the ntizzeu ot the Asia went over the quarter with a crash. Mre thought the Admiral had gone with it; but presently we saw him appear in a conspicuous position. On our way back we picked up ten poor drowning wretches. As one of our sail ors was hauling in one tall young Moslem a shot blew the Turk's head to pieces. All the sailor did was to turn coolly to us, and say—"did you ever see the like of that?” But the Turks were cooler even than this. Finney, the man who swam with the haw ser, had just rescued a handsomely dress ed Moslem, who was no sooner safe in the bow of the boat than he pulled out his pipe and tobacco, bag, flint and steel, anil calmly emitting volumes of smoke. This irritated Finney. “Do you see that Turk ish rascal?” he said with an oath. “If he cares so deuced little at being saved from Old Nick, I’ll send him where he came from.” So sayiug he made a spring for ward and tumbled the astonished Turk overboard before any one conld prevent him. The man, however, swam to a piece of wreck, and was saved by a boat from the Albion. The crew of the Alcyone picked up a Turkish officer with a shat tered arm. When taken on board the Al cyone lie walked proudly down the cock pit ladder, just as if all the ship belonged to him, and made signs to the surgeon Suit he wanted his arm taken oft'. That being done tiie proud Turk threw himself over board. and swam back to his own vessel that was still fighting our frigate. He climbed up the side with his one arm, lint iu a few minutes the vessel blew up, and the brave fellow probably perished with the rest of his comrades. Half an hour after I had crept in at a lower deck port of the Genoa, and had got back to my gun, our good old Captain was struck in the groin by a grape shot of about four pounds weight." One of the lads who carried iiim down happening to stumble and hurt his wound the old man frowned and bit the boy a smart blow with his knuckles, and said—“can't you carry me easier, sir The report that our Captain was mortally wounued flew around the deck like lightning.and all the firing ceased for about two minutes, every one looking as if himself was struck. Then, as if by one impulse, the whole crew at once yelled, “our Captain is killed and our firing be gan a thousand times hotter than ever. TheTurkishl lino-oi-battle ship near us now broke into a blaze, but still the lower deck and some of her main deck guns maintain ed a hot and galling lire on our bow, and presently she blew up with a furious ex plosion. driving showers of iron, burning wood and nails into our ports. A single forty-two pound shot that came through one of our ports at about this period of the engagement killed four men and wounded two. This was the most murderous shot the Turks sent at us; but another heavy one took ns on the main deck, knocker! away the whole side of a port, and cleared the gun. A father and son were at this spot; the father was killed, the son was knocked down hut not wounded. Nine of the petty officers had wives on board, and they were employed with the doctor and his mates in the cock-pit dressing the wounds* or serving water around to the thirsty. About half past five I had to go to the after magazine for some tubes for the guns, and not much liking the exposure 1 made a race for it. As I passed the main ladder, 1 found that a Mr. Rowe, a young mid shipman, had just been wounded badly by a splinter in the calf of the leg. He stamped his boot, and said, "Oh. damn it, never mind: it’s nothing but a scratch,” and waved his sword to encourage the men. Two minutes after, when 1 passed with the box of tubes, I saw him a mangled corpse, his hand still grasping his sword. A bell began to ring backwards, and there was a cry of ‘up there, boarders and fire men.’ 1 snatched upuiy pistols and cutlass where 1 had stowed them, and made for the starboard quarter. When 1 reached the quarter deck, 1 found that the ship's mainsail, which hung loose, had caught fire, and that a midshipman and some sail ors were on the yard cutting away the canvas with their knives. It was now getting dark, and the bay was lighted up with the glare of the burning vessel; but the crescent still flew at her mast heads and mizen peaks. Even when she had half sunk the red flag and yellow crescents floated on the wrecks till they were level with the water. The two large dismasted vessels that had attacked us were now lying aground on a small island in the bav, where our men compared them to two old horses standing in a park with their necks across. About six o'clock the enemy’s heavy fire began to slack; and wishing to bring the affair to a close, we gave three cheers and poured in a tremendous broad side. Presently we heard Captain Dick enson, who had taken tho command when Captain Bathurst was wounded, shouting through his speaking trumpet down the main hatchway, “Cease firing!" “Cease firing!” said the captain of our guns. "Likely! Before they douse that bit of red bunting! Come, my lads, let’s give ’em another dose!” >i hen the Captain eaine down on the lower deck to stop the firing, our excuse was, “The gun’s loaded, sir,” and direct ly lie turned his baek we tired. But this was only two or three rounds, and when the enemy’s ships entirely ceased firing, we gave up the contest, and began to lean out of the ports to look about us. wo now had time to observe the carnage on our own decks, and the gory heaps col lected under the alter ladder. Wo began to throw some of the bodies overboard. Snatching up a lantern, 1 went down in the cockpit to look for the messmate. I found him, at last, sitting on a midship man's chest. Ills lips moved but he was fast dying. “Tom, Tom,” I said, “can't you speak to me lie pressed mv hand feebly but could not speak. 1 was lifting his head, to put a bag under it, when the master at arms came down, and ordered me on deck. The doctor had given strict orders not to allow any one to stay, or to talk to the wounded. When l went on deck they were just going to bury a sailor, aud his wife was on her knees beside the corpse, strok ing his hair, and crying, "Poor Jem, poor Jem Then she rose, clasped her hands, and fell senseless on the deck. When I got to nty berth my messmates welcomed me like a brother. They look ed like banditti, dressed only in shirt aud j trousers, handkerchiefs lied round their heads, pistols and cutlasses in their belts, their faces black with smoke and gun powder, several with large plasters o.v 1 their cheeks. There was only a cancel- Itl a purser's lantern burning here aud then', j but the flaming Turkish vessels cast every now aud then a red glare into the berth.

Drew, has been killed by the Indians in a re cent encounter in New Mexico. i The Sea Moss Narine, sold by Frank Kins man, is excellent for making blane-monge, puddings and pies. Unlike Irish Moss in its rough state, it requires no straining. What is fame? The Gardiner Journal, in alluding to the eloquent and beautiful speech of Major P. M. Foglcr of this city at the dec oration services at Togus, mnkes mention of him as “Mayor F. M. Foicler Mr. Turner, who sprained his ankle very badly the other day, was able to ride out yes terday. He is still suffering on account of tliu accident, and will be unable to attend to business lor some time. Charles Roberts of Penobscot county, a convict in the State Prison, escaped from the institution on Monday. He was with others at work in the shipyard, and when returning to his quatVra lagged behind and escaped. At last accounts he had not been secured. Roberts was committed to prison in May, I860, for the crime of larceny, for the term of three years. Mij. Alfred Morton, of the regular army, an Augusta boy, but for many years a resident in California, is now availing himself of the privileges of a sixty days’ furlough to spend a brief season with his relatives and friends in this city. Eighteen years have wrought great changes in him, in his mode of life, in his friends, and in the city where he was reared a boy. He is accompanied by his wife and two children. Maj. Morton belongs to the 9th U. S. Infantry, stationed at Fort D. A. Russell, Cheyene, Wyoming Territory. Our old citizens doubtless remember Gen. White, who was one of the paishioners of the late Re^. Sylvester Judd, pastor of the Unita rian chnrch in this city, and who contributed quite liberally towards the support of preach ing. In those days many persons in trade were in the habit of selling liquor, and Gen. White was one of the number. Mr. Judd was a strong temperance man and his pulpit dis courses frequently witnessed to his opposition to the traffic in intoxicating liquors. One day a person in conversation with Mr. Judd, asked him if he thought it just right to receive money which Gen. White had made from the sale of liquor. “Oh I my dear sir," promptly re plied Mr. Judd, “the proportion of my salary borne by Gen. White comes from the money which he gets honestly, and not from the sale of liquor." Our correspondent at Fayette says that town was visited on Monday evening by sev eral showers, one of which was very heavy, accompanied with hail which did some dam age to window glass and the growing crops. Lightning struck the chimney of Cyrus Tobia's house, and passed into the cellar, doing slight damage. The rain came very accept ably, as the crops were begining to need it. Grain and hoed crops are lookingflnely. Some of the farmers say they shall not get more than half a crop of hay. Mr. Bigelow, the county Supervisor, aided by Mr. l’lummer, Supervisor of Penobscot county, held a Teachers’ Institute in Fayette Monday, which was a success. All the teachers attended and many of the citizens. The exercises were very interesting and all felt that the day was well spent. These Supervisors understand their business, and are doing a good work by sug gesting to the teachers new modes of teach ing and creating a greater interest in the community in favor of schools. The Messrs. Chase Brothers’ Xsrserle*. Messrs. Chase Brothers, dealers in fruit trees, etc., have sold and delivered during the year ending May last, the following number of Apple Trees, 120,000 Dwarf Apple Trees, 25,000 Crab Apple Trees, 22,000 Pear Trees, 41,000 Cherry Trees, 12,000 Plum Trees, 5,000 Peach Trees, 10,000 Grape Vines, 10,000 Currants and Gooseberries, 110,000 Quinee Bushes, 10,000. The alwve amount was sold in the States of Ohio, Indiana, New York, Bhode Island, Vermont, Massachusetts and Maine. The firm have at the present time about seventy five men canvassing for orders to be filled the coining autumn and next spring. The firm consists of Lewis, E. A. and M. V. B. Chase. They are Maine boys. Their nurseries are located at Rochester, N. Y., where the two elder reside; the latter resides in this city. They are engaged in a good work, and from their long experience in the business—cover ing the period of fourteen years—it is to pre sumed that they are better prepared to know the varieties of fruit that will thrive best in the different localities, than other dealers of more limited experience. They do business on the square—and were it necessary wu would commend them anew to the public. Malar Brlertlr Metical Society.

These Machines, by their slmplcity, durability, and the great range of work they execute, have gained a refutation truly enviable. The famous success of the singer M a n i’Facti’ ic ing COMP AN V has stimulated many other com panies to put forth all their energies and talents to produce a ecwiug lua'hiue that would eclipse or equal the singer, but in every case they have sig nally tailed, as is plainly shown by the fact, that of all the travelling agents—“runners or drummers” —of other companies, none have the assurance to claim more than an equality with the Singer, even upon any special class of work. Then* are many sewing machines, now offered to the public, that have their good points, and are of much as-istance to the lion-ewife aud the industri ous seamstress. Parties purchasing u sewing nm chiue of any sort, find the improvement on the old fashioned way of sew ing by hand so great and pleasing, that the;, are naturally, but erroneously, led to believe that they have the best, until the spell is broken by the introduction of the, Singer of INTO Into a neighbor’s family, which is sure, by the in creased rapidity and Case with which it does even kind of plain or limey sew ing, toaw ak**n them to a positive, although it may be silent acknowledge ment. of tlie painful truth’that there are very many varieties of w ork that are easily executed upon ilm .Singer, bm that they must either be content to do without, or exchange, at a heavy pecuniary sacri fice, their curved-ncedled, frail-powered, liurelia ble-tensioned, low-speeded or ravel-stitched ma chine lor a Singer Mew Family Machine. Various expedients are resorted to, that the pub lic eye may be turned from the Singer tor the pur pose of introducing interior machines—viz, “The lintlon-Hole Dodge,” “The Over-Seaming,” “The Double-Lock-Knot-,St itch,” “Elastic Mitch,” •'Twist ed Loop,” “Self-AdjustingTensions,” High frinish and Beautifully Ornrmcnted,” “Strught Needle,” “btitcji-Alike-oh-both-Hides,” “Medals from Fairs,” “Vertical Feed Bars’” “Noiseless Running,” “Si lent Feed,” aud Iasi and worst of all the low-priced —“Family ftbuUL Machine,*.” Many of these point- are desirable, (and the Singer’excells all in each individual speciality) but the greatest Use made ol these tpeciaJ points, is by the retail agent who paffcdoii them before the inex perienced purchaser with stu b fluent and earnest *l;lc, as to entirely divert attention from the really important hearings of the case. While other inno cent local agents ignonmtiv represent that the ma chine sold by them is capable of doing every varie tv of work, equal to the .Singer, and often do they tliii* unconsciously swindle customers w ho cannot afford to squander their substance upon gilded follies and worthless rutile-traps.
