took her passage on board steamboat at
New Orleans to 60 10 St. Louis, but hear
ing that the Captain intended running a
race, declined going, unless assurances were
given that such would not be the case. The
master pledged his honor to refrain from
the contest and the boat got under way the
rival boat pursuing soon after, neared him
fast, and the passengers becoming excited,
requested him TO put on more steam, which
was refused, for the reason above given
The lady was applied to, but would not yield
She was then requested to come on deck,
and view the other boat, which at the time,
was nearly along side, and fast gaining
Her feelings were Immediately enlisted, and
she too, urged an increase of speed, which
was attempted but not succeeding as well as
his passengers desired, they suggested that
he should use bacon, 10 make the wood more
infamable. The answer was, that having
pledged his word not to race, he had moi
provided himself with the article. "Never
mind, Captain" said the LADY, you have

UeLINEss.-It is curious to observe that
an ugly face Is generally the Indication Of
a humorous and witty mind; it suggests

From the American Traveller.
TIM e.

Glide not the lingering hours of life,
Its toll will soon be Ger;
It's schemes Of glory and Of strife, y
Its dreams with disappointments rife.
Will vex the heart no more
And yet the very souls that grieve
A moments weary track;
Perhaps in after years would give
A8world--to win II back.
Glide not the lingering lapse Of Time,
Nor count its nome Is dull;
For soon the bell, with mournful chiheI
Will watt the Split to cline
More bright and beautiful
A land where grief will ncvePGling
Its darkness on the soul;
Where faith and hope shall gladly wing
Their path without control.
Glide not Times slow and silent hours,
Though heavy they may seem;
The past hath sought oblivions shores
The present, which alone is ours,
Is passing like a dream;
And they who scarcely heed its track,
Or wish its course more fast,
with fruitlcss prayer may yet call back
One moment of the past.
Glide not a moments weary fight,
Too soon il speeds away;
And nearer brings the hour of night
And DINNER makes the feeble sight
Then work while yet It's day!
Thus shall Life morning ray depart.
Without one vain regret,
And death steal gladly on the heart,
Wien Lie bright sun hath set.
