If such continues, I shall not behold Neptune in a pet, and I almost wish for a touch of his wrath. Having seen him in good humor now for so long a time, it would be pleasant to have a little change. Already by my exclusiveness I have built up a kind of wall about myself; I have not been un friendly, still I have not been communicative. I walk the deck alone, till my solitary habits have been remarked, and people avoid me, not wish ing to disturb nie. Everybody is getting acquainted and is taking the measure of the rest. There is a good deal of chattering at the table and elsewhere. Two or three men have shown their souls in complete undress before the whole company by their prattle. I often am impelled to exclaim inwardly: Let not thy tongue lay bare thy Holy of Holies to profane View! I feel like turning away from a person who persists in stripping his soul stark naked in public. Itis worse than bodily nudity. Disgusting the thing becomes when are displayed the running sores of the soul, as the beggar revels in showing his paralyzed limbs and physical deformities.
