For the ihlrd time within the opace of
n few weeks, il has become our melan-
choly duty to record the demise of one
OF our most worthy and estimable towns
men, engaged in maritime pursuits. BY
letter from Port au Prince, we learn
that Capt. JAMES BAIT, of the brig
Clyde, of this port departed this life while
on voyage from Wilmington, N. c., to
the first named place. On the lday after
the vessel sailed, two Of the crew were
taken sick, one with the ague, and the
other with the typhus fever Two more
of the crew, together with both mates,
were afterwards attacked. Daniel Clark
(seaman) and Andrew Rufus, (cook) Of
this place, died. Capt. Bait himself was
taken with the typhus fever, which ended
with delirium and death. Bristol Gaz.

lalions OF some, about 100000 Christian

who perished amounted to 100000

Jotham jenkins, in his Sundays best,
sat one evening twiring his hat, at the
hours of MI. Twistlelon. It was about
o'clock in the evening, and Mr.. Twis-
tIeton and Mrs. Twislleton had judci-
ously retired to their apartment, While
Tabitha Twistleton politely sat up to hear
what Jotham Jenkins had to say, and to
rake up the fire after he had taken his
leave. Jotnam had been coming over
fne speech, which he meant to utter
when opportunity should be given him, by
the withdrawal of the old folks. But
when that opportunity came, the words
would not come. The fine speech stuck
in his throat, and he twirled his hat more
industrously than ever. But Tabitha
Twistleton had more presence of mind,
and after enjoying his embarrassment for
while, she opened her mouth and asked
what made him so dumb? "Upon that
hint he spake." Any thing was better
than nothing to break the ice and that
being now effected by the considerate re-
mark Of his charmer, he thus began T." l
say, Tabitha-." "Well Jotham."
"iv'e come here tonight" see you
hare" "To inform you that--that--
some how or other-".."s Very likely, Jo-
tbam.", al don't know how il is"
"Nor l." "lt's very queer, any way
and l feel rather sheepish-" "Bah 20
"Darn it! Tabtha, j love you And
now it's out" "And you feel very much
relieved, l dare say'" 81 do, ! swow,
feel shockingly relieved. - feel as il a
fihy-six was off my stomach" "Poor
fellow was your love SO heavy" 81
guess you'd think SO, if you knew the
weight ONT 1t pressed me down like
night mare" "Well, Jotham, I'm glad
! to hear Of your fortunate deliyerance.
/ But its growing late, and mother told me
to cover up the fire." ooh, don't think
of the fire now, just as I've broken the
ice. I've a world Of fine things to say to
you" "What are theys" 81 hav'nt
told you half my love yet" "Oh !
thought you'd got i, all out" 81 love
you like pizen-.-I do, indeed, Tabi-
tha." "1hat love must be fatal. then"
| at viii bo fatal 70 me if you don't
marry me-" Fudge don't be fool
Go home now, aud let me cover up the
fire, that's a good boy.", "Wont you
have me, theni' 81 can, tell you better,
Jotham, when you get to be man"
'"Ain, nun now, Miss Tabitha, I'D
| like to know" said Jotham, rising with
spirit aud putting his hat OIL his head
ali aint a man now-and whole hog
one tool think it darn'd strange Gas
To the hog part, there Is No dispute about
that" said Tabnha, covering up the last
brand in the ashes "Well, il that's the
way you treat me, Tab, you may 30 to
grass, and get a husband where you can
for what care" THANK you, Jotham.
Now 20 home like good boy, and tell
your mamma not to let you stray away
o'nights. You may get lost" Jotham
prest his hat on his head harder than ever,
and telling Tub, as lie called her, that
she might 90 to tic devil for all him, he
left the house--eiying one proof, at least,
