Noyou can't, his friends replied, they
would let US pass, if they would anybo-
|dy.
Wel-stand by and see me try.
Our friend il short thick-set, good
looking man Of forty about say thirty
FIVE. He put his ivory headed cane I'M
der his left arm, and holding his pencil
and memorandum book in his hands,
walked carefully up the plank.
suppose I can take look at the IN
side Of this vessel, said he to the officer
on duty.
Our orders are peremptory to admit no
one.
Welt don't care shake, stranger,
on my own account, but my father was
very anxious / should bring him a des-
cription.
Your father-who, sir--is he public
officer!
Well, yes-I rather reckon he is. My
father is Governor Of Kentucky!
Walk aboard, sir; are those gentlemen
friends Of yours? asked the sentry. The
son Of the Governor Of Kentucky looked
slowly round to his companions, who
were silently admiring his cool audacity,
and taking deliberate survey Of them,
told the officer he did not doubt but they
were very respectable people but they had
not the honor Of his acquaintance.

CLOVER SEED.-A gentleman has just
arrived from Georgia, says the London
Globe, who has brought with him new
colossal and prolific clover seed, from
Buckhara, which he is going to submit to
MIR. London. According to the accounts
of the most celebrated travellers who have
visited that distant and important country
which is equal in climate to that of Great
Britain, in all grains, herbs and vegetables
distinguish themselves by their gigantic
growth. The clover seed just imported
grows to the enormous height of twelve
to fifteen feet and can be cut every month.
But this is not the only valuable property
Of this most extraordinary production Of
the vegetable kingdom. Out Of the stem
hemp is prepared, which is highly es.
teemed in the distant region Of which til
a native, that preference is given to it
over all other sorts. Should the plant sue
coed in England, and Of which there can
be no doubt it will form new era, by rem
dering this country independent Of foreign
supplies of clover seed. It must be sown
in April. 1t is said that each grain will
produce 300, 900 seeds.
GENERosITY.--A young man on the
point of marriage was drawn for the mill
tia in Lorraine. In despair, he applied
to the Count de Miltry, captain Of the re-
giment, who, in compassion, gave his
word that the service should not exceed
one year. The term expired, the captain
explained to the colonel and requested the
mans discharge, which the colonel fatty
refused, as he said the subject was an ex-
cellent soldier, and did credit to the corps.
Next day he was surprised, when the cap.
tain waited on him in the soldiers attire,
knapsack and musket, with this address:
