A sen voyngo from New York to Nassau, tlio capital of tho Uhainas,'nii(l return is a good thing lit this season of tho year, and a good thing nt any season, 1 Bhould think. 1 know it is good in Juno, becnuso 1 lmv.& tried it. In early summer tho sen is at smooth as glass. Landsman that I tun, making my first sea voyngo In Juno, the present year of our Lord, I nover be lieved in tho stories which I had heard of tho calmness of tho great ocean. "As smooth as glass" had to 1110 always seemed more than a poet's license, which is generally u nolito synonym for lie. Hut tho sea can bo as smooth as glass, at I discovered to my great astonishment and delight that Is to say, Its surface In a two or three days' calm softens and quiets till not so much as a ripplo re mains, till n cork could float hour after hour with Its uppermost end as dry ns tinder. Of course tho swell of tho ocean that gentle, undulatory motion never wholly ceases. It Is eternal. It was in snch a glassy, peaceful sea as this that wo mudo tho voyage from Nassau to Now York a few days ago. What could bo more delightful than four or flvo days like thenu, with long, cool nights to sleep through, with good company by day, with ravenous appe tites and tempting cuisine, and with a right good novel to fall back upon when you tiro of conversation? My advice to tho readers of this letter is to take such a sea voyage if you ever get tlio chance. It will do yoiyun immense lot of good, mentally nrid physically. It will broaden your Ideas of men and things, give you a now conception of tho majesty of na ture and tho vastness of the world, and no doubt ndd a couplo of inches to your girth and as many years to your career. There is another thing it will do, and that is to fill ybu with u now lovo for tho laud in which you nro sd fortunate as to live. No matter how quaint and Interesting tlio foreign lands may bo you will sing hosanuas of praiso and thanks when you return to tho United States, and forevcrmore bo the more content with your lot, whatever it may bo. Hero I am writing away for all tho world like a fichoolgirl about my first sea voyage, just as if a sea voyngo was something new or extraordinary, which of courso it is not. But tho schoolgirl heaven bless her who goes Into ecstacies of expression and reams of paper in re cording her impressions of things new to her, though old to a majority of man kind, often builds better than sho knows. So may I. For I confess that n voyngo at sea hna always been u mysterious, a romantic thing to me. I have read letters of travel, of voyages, of iersonal exig ences on tho great ocean galore, and in nono of them did I ever learn what n sea voyngo was. Perhaps it is because it is ono of those- things which cannot bo tie scribed; possibly it is because tho writers run over tho little things as too trivial for their attention, and look for adven tures and incidents which never come. 1 At any rate, I am going to tell you as I nearly as 1 can what a sea voyngo an uneventful, commonplace, overyday sea I voyage Is, for tho benefit of country I boys liko myself and country girls, too, if 1 shall bo fortunate enough to have them for renders, to whom tho sea is an I unexplored region. To start, you buy your passago tickets of courso. If perclinnce you should con cludo to go from Now York to Nassau and return, tho round trip will cost you seventy dollars. What do you get for this? Well, eight days' board and lodg ing, nnd good bonrd nntl lodging they are, too, and nearly 2,000 miles' travel. Of courso you will readily perceivo that this is cheaper than railway travel, where you pay from two to three cents a inilo for transportation and extra for your meals and beds. When you tako your first ocean voy ngo do not fall to havo some friends at the dock to see you off. If you havo no friends handy hire n messenger boy or somebody us substitute. That was a inistnko which I inndo both my friend and L Every other passenger had a friend on the dock to wave a handker chief or something nt him till the steamer had swung fnr out into tho North river und was out of sight down tho harbor. Wo tho nrtist nnd I were liko two orphnns sailing southward into tho hot, hot world without n single hand kerchief waving in our honor, without ono tear falling over our departure. We envied tho lucky passengers who had such attention paid thorn, till wo reached tho real, great, wide, deep ocean and tho steamer began to roll and pitch a lit tle, and our friends who had enjoyed the great pleasure or waving nnd being wnveu at began to waver, queer thing how it camo don't know but tho only who were not moro or less it was n to be so 1 pns-songorB seasick the first evening out wero tho two orphans - the artibt and myself, Ono by ono the heroes of tho handkerchiefs began to dis appear to their staterooms, and finally all who had turned their noses up at us nnd treated us with proud disdain be cause no one had cried salt tears over us as wo embarked, wero wishing them selves back on dry land, or even wet land, just so it was laud that would sit still. How tho artist and 1 gloated over our fallen rivals, tho sicker they became, tho happier we. But there wero a few flies in our own ointment at least tho fear of them. When would our turn come? This was tho question wo constantly asked our selves, and tho advice which each gave to tho other was not to give way to too much gloating till his stomach had been moro thoroughly tested. Yet our turn did not come, aud as tho hours passed nnd our confidence increased wo renewed nnd amplified our gloating over tho mis fortunes of our fellows. Wo were the Inly passengers to show up nt tho break .ast table, nud wero ns proud of It as w fond pnpn of n now nud particularly nice bnby. l "All humbug, this seasickness busi ness," wo exclaimed to tho captain, at whoso right nnd left wo sat tho seat of honor in n ship's saloon. "All nonsense; purely n mental affection. You imagine you nro going to bo sick, that you nro sick and you get sick, that's nil. Purely ft case of will K)ver or tho lack of it." "You haven't sailed as much ns 1 have," said tho captain, "nnd I'll tell you something about seasickness which perhaps you don't know. I havo heard thousands of men tnlk tho way you do, nnd beforo tho voyngo was over they wero in ni bud shape as tho rest of them. Many men who are not sick tho first day out catch it tho second, or oven tho third; nnd tho fellows who fool pretty proud over their good luck tho first day usually go down when every ono elso on board Is coming round all right. Now aud then wo moot a man who sails sovoral voyages without getting sick, and then makes ono perhaps not as rough ns tho others nud goes nil to pieces. Old snllors are sometimes tnkon with seasickness for a voyage. Wo havo a sailor on board this ship who gots sick ovcry third voyage as regularly as n rooster crows In tho morn ing. Ho has laid off a trip, aud then two trips at a time, to see if it wouldn't break tho spell, but with no change." A queer thing about seasickness Is that every man who suffers with It is ashamed of it, as if ho had caught tho Itch or something, and endeavors to con ceal it till finally ho gots so sick that prldo and every other feeling and aspira tion save abject misery and imlifferenco as to whether ho hides himself in his stateroom, oximcs his infirmity on deck or falls overboard have disappeared. When tho attack first comes on tho vic tim Inquires for quinlno nud says ho must havo taken cold, or ho has eaten something which has disagreed with him, or lie has smoked too much. Ho goes to tho table and makes a gallant but unsuccessful effort to eat as if noth ing had happened, all for apiearanco sake, and nibbles aud goes through a pretense of eating, and turns palo and suffers agonies till ho thinks ho can sneak away without being suspected of tho crimo of seasickness. Women, on tho other hand, don't try to conceal their afillctlon. They appear to glory In It. Tlio nvcrngo woman thinks a sea voyngo that does not givo her seasickness is n blank failure. Wom en passengers don't talk of much elso as long ns they nro nblo to talk but sea sickness and how they have been Bick lieforo and how It feels to feel that it was a mlstako ever to havo been born. They are liko children with tho mumps nnd measles aud a few stono bruises nnd other sores tho ono with tho longest record of nfllictions nnd tho most profuse showing of contusions is tho proudest nnd happiest. Tho nearest we camo to seasickness was n temporary cessntion of Interest in what now and good things tho cook had for dinner ono day, nud n unanimous conclusion, which lasted for nbout twenty-four hours, that thero is something in tho flavor of snlt water and salt nir which takes away tho enjoyment of n cigar. This was but a faint rumbling of jwssiblo disaster in storo for us, yet it was enough to curb our haughty spirits nnd givo us moro sympathy with tho nfllictions of our fellow passengers. If you go to sea don't fail to tako n stenmer chair with you. Wo had heard of peoplo buying steamer chairs, but con cluded they wero idiots trying to put on stylo and declined to invest. We after ward wished wo hadn't. Thero may bo steamships which carry an amplo sui ply of comfortablo chairs for tho uso of thetr passengers, but this one didn't, and wo sat around on coils of ropo and spars and back breaking stools and bor rowed chairs till wo wero tired of It. Don't enter tho captain's stateroom un less you aro invited to do so. Tho nver ago captain is a meek enough man on shore. Meet him on Broadway and ho'll step into tho gutter to givo you room to pass, but on board his ship ho is an other being. Thero ho is lord of all he surveys, a monarch of absoluto power between iort aud port, and ho knows it. Don't ask him questions whilo ho is tak ing observations; don't disturb him whilo ho is monkeying with logs and logarithms if you want to keep on good terms with him, and you do want to keep on good terms with him, for you nro n nobody nt sea, whatever you mny bo on land, unless tho captain patronizes you, and finally, don't forget to give tho young man who takes caro of your state room two dollars at tho end of tho trip, nnd tho other young mnn who waits on you at tho tablo two or threo dollars. They havo earned it. If you aro wise, whilo at sea you will walk forty or fifty times n day from the 6tern to tho bow; you will go up on the bridge nt night nnd 6eo tho moon rise nnd havo a littlo spray fly in your face; you will go down into tho hold nnd tako n look at tho great tnnrino engines, nnd seo tho poor stokers feed the fires whilo tho fat is being tried out of themselves In a temperaturoof 125degs. Fahrenheit: you will make friends with the purser, who is tho financial aud business mnn of tho concern, and lastly you will go to bed early nnd avoid tho seductive gumo of hearts, both on deck among tho dark eyed belles from Cuba and in tho smok ing room with the innocent looking gen tlemen who roll and smoko cigarettes nnd languidly scoop in tho jackpots.
