SPLENDID PORTRAIT OF

GRAEFAsS'S MAGAZINE.
NEW VOLUME-JULY, IS17.

THE publishers of Grahnm's Magazine feel
great pride in the past volumes. and particularly
in that closing with the June number. The a.
mount of literary matter given TO the public far
exceeds that of any other American monthly.
and the quality has been equally superior. The
novel by Mr.. Cooper, entitled "The BIeis Of the
GHJ,' which is now running through the Maga.
zine, has awakened widespread interest, and
promises 10 be of the best of this distinguished
gentlemans productions. 1t has been given thus
far to cur readers without al all interfering with
the usual variety Of the work, by adding iueire
pages per month TO the usual number. When it
is remembered that this novel cost the publishers
over Sl200--that the dddiiOnai printing, and
paper for an enormous edition, will for the last
STA months be at least $1,000 more, and tha,
$1,000 in prize stories. poetry and essays have
been expended. it will be seen that
$1,000 Extra in Literary Matter
for single volume, of six months, is an amount
unexampled in the history of magazines. The
publishers propose i'll the coming volume, how
ever, IN no wise TO abate their energy, or lessen
their enterprise or expenses. They are proud of
the success Of the Magazine. and are determined,
by dihgent application to business, and an en-
'arged and liberal expenditure of money both in
literature and engravings, to keep the field against

A Sailor Ashore.

THE DIFFICULTY OF STEERING \ DONKEY.
Some of the sailors, who had been brought from
the vessels at Vera Cruz for the purpose OF assist
ing in placing the marine batteries IN position,
were detained ashore by one of The heavy North
ers that prevailed during the scigc of that city
Some OF them having been despatched from the
entertainments to The Ccmmissary Department for
provisions, took near direction, passing over Il
range Of sand hills, instead of the usual route
On the way one Of them cnpnred a donkey and
mounted him, without saddle or bride, or, in his
own words, without rigging or spars-s,ccIlng him
with cudgel by striking him on the side of his
head. The wind and sand was Il little too severe
on The hill for the comfort of the animal, and the
donkey made his way TO the leeward, despite the
exerions of the sailor TO prevent him, who was
compelled to get as far back on the animal as he
could to prevent him from slipping over his head
AS he descended the hill. As soon as the donkey
had got 10 the ecward of the hill e obslina,ely
refused TO go any further; the sailor kicked him
IN Tie side and beat him with the club, but to no
avail Al length he ceased his cXcrons, and
quietly sat on the donkey's launches, apparently
willing TO wait the pleasure of his donkeyship.-
One Of the sailors who appeared to be rmused at
his shipnale's difficulties, sung out 10 him. in II
hoarse husky voice, "Are you at anchor, Jack:'
"No, sit, lay ing too for fair wind," says Jack,
at the same time moving himself farther back on
the animal. "We, what are you doing so far
all' Why don't you sit further forward" again
inquired his friend. '}ccause the rules of the
service allows the commander to sill on The quarter
deck of his own crait.'
About This Time the wind shifted a little and
blew the sand in the face Of the stubborn donkey,
and he attempted TO tnrn round, head TO leeward,
but, standing on the side of the hill, the sand gave
way under his feet, and down came tho Jackass
and The Jack sailor, one over the other heels over
head, 10 The bottom! As they were rolling down,
one of the sailors sung out, "luil' ltIc Jack. -
"Luii be ID" says he-"don't you see
breakers ahcad;' and laying on the ground kick
ing away, hard as he could, called Justify for his
line, as ''his craft had shipped sea and all hands
were overheard"
The donkey seemed 10 understand mailers,t took
advantage Of the circumstances, aud made Oft with
all the precipilancy he could, leaving The sailor TO
pursue his tourney on foot
