"A Thrilling Adventure.

We heard the other day story Ielated by
all old sailor, Captain jacob -, which made
a great Impression on us, and which we wish
we could repeat with the JUNCTION and nautical
phraseoIogy of The worthy narrator.
1t, occurred during the last The cap

ning on the coast In a schooner loaded with
hour. He had nearly reached his destination
when he overhauled by an enemy's frig-
ate who ordered him peremtorIly to heave line

There was no resisting the command. for he
schooner without arms aud the tender full
of marines and sailors armed to the teeth with
pistols, mu-keIs and cullasses. The captain
had lIgh, bun fair bteeze alof, his sails drew
and he was driving tisar reef. the eplance 10
which he was perfectly familiar with, and once
inside which, he was sure of making por!, UT

In lhls view he ordered one of his men foI,
ward with line, and in ssntorlal voice, per
fecly audible on board The tender, sang out
'Heave your line aboard then he added, il

the indignant Yankee skipper.

Again the line fell short, and the English Of

They were soon out of gunsho from The baf-

with hearty cheer from the mariners, and an

Growth of New York City-.BuiId-

From the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune. {.
FIVE look back to the year 1913, we find the
site of New York Cito thick forest-bordered by
sandy beach, ora shore broken by marshy inlets
We look upon it now, an area of not less than
hve square miles, compactly occupied by not less
than $4,000 houses, inhabited by not less than
100000 persons. No parallel to this of the rapid
growth of city is believed to be recorded. In
our retrospective view, we find that in the year
l6l4 there were contained in New-York Qhen
New Amsterdam four hottses; that in 1856, the
number had grown to 100 with population of
l,OO0); 1877, 1868; in l744, 1,l4l: and al the la
ter period of 1925, by estimate, about q, 900 (pop

A Taylor Song.

Friend Grener has made capital hit In the fol-
lowing Original Song, which we find in the Gin
cinnaIi ATLAS:
AIR" 'Tis nv delight"
Come kindle your watch-fres every true Wing,
No longer stand watching the weather;
In heart and in hand-united we'll stand,
Sink, swim live, or die, altogether.
Then rally Wings, rally, from hilltop and valley
Your banners unfurl to the sky,
Old Zack's on the track--will you stand athis bdckl
All you in his favor say, aye, CHATS it,
Never fly from the track-ye friends of Old Zack,
true Whig will never say die.
Shall we in the hour of danger fall back,
Surrender Old Zack,-never--no,
Who never turned back of his hand to friend,
Nor back of his coat to foe.
Then give em little more grape, CaptainBragg," "
His enemies proudly defy;
Old Zacks on the track-will you stand at his backt
All YOU in his favor say, aye. CHATS it)
Never fly from the track--ye friends of Old Zack,
A true Wing will never say die.
Alas for poor Cass-our noise and confusion,
His sensitive soul does confound,
The sword he ran into the old hollow stump,
He soon will run into The ground.
The Court of France may have taught him &c
To cut the pigeon-wing high,
Old lacks on the track---wll lay Cass on his back
You in favor of that, will say, aye: THAT'S it..
Never fly from the track, We friends of Old Zack
true Whig will never say die.
When Old Zack is safe in the President s Chair,
Then won't we enjoy the fun!
He never will go in for burning the Barn,
But Lord how the rats they will run.
Tho poor Matty Van is badly used man.
His chances are all in my eye,
Old lacks on the tlack--wl you all sland at bis
back!
All YOU in his favor say eye; THAT'S it.
Never fly from the track, ye frieds of Old Zack,
A tcte Wing will never say die.
Then saddle the nags, the track is all ready
No matter how many may come,
Wen bet that "OLD Whitley" will distance the
field;
For we knew that his rider is "soME"
So rally, Wings rally, from hilltop and valley,
No lcnger stand parleying by,
Old Zacks the track will you stand at his backs
All you in his favor say, aye, THAT'S it.
Never fy from the tsack-ye friends of Old lack
true Whig will never say die.
The Kindeshook fox and the Michigan bear
May wrangle and fight for the bone
(When two such rogues fall out by the way,
Honest men will come by their own.)
At the of Old Zack they'll take the back track
Barnburners and Hunkers will fly;
Then raise high your standard, boys of Ohio,
And nerer-no never say die
Old lacks on the trackwill you stand athis backl
All you in his favor say, AYE"

A BIT OF HUMoR-We do not relish
truth less for being passionately spiced
with little humor. The following ex-
tract from the report of Committee on
hogs, read before the agricultural society
"D0wn East" contains some excellent
hits:
Again some folks accuse pigs of being
filthy in their habits. and negligent in
their personal appearance. But, wheth-
er food is best eaten off the ground, or
from China plates is, it seems to me,
merely matter oftaste and convenience,
about which pigs and men may honestly
differ. They ought, then, to be judged
charitably. At any rate, pigs are not fil-
thy enough to chew tobacco, nor poison
their breath bv drinking whiskey, and
as lotheirpersonal appearance, you don't
catch a pig playing the dandy, nor the
females among them picking their way
up this muddy village after a rain in kid
slippers.
Notwithstanding their heterodox no.
tions, hogs have some excellent traits o
character. If one chance to wallow q
little deeper in some mire hole than hi,
fellows, and so carries off and comes in
possession of more of this earth than hi.
brethren he never assumes an extra i'm
porance on that account; neither are his
brethren stupid enough to worship hin
for it. Their only question seems to be
is he still hog! Ifhe is, they treat hin
as such.
And when hog has no merits of his
own,he never puts on aristocratic airs,nol
claims any particular respect on account
of his family connections; and yet some
hogs have descended from very ancient
families. They understand full well, the
common sense maxim, every tub mus
stand on its own bottom"
