A Tale of a Tub.

The following drol story appears in the
St. Joseph's Times: son the passage of
the ship Alexandra from New Orleans to
New York, young lad of about IA, from
a natural frolicsome disposition, became so
troublesome that he was threatened by the
captain that he would put him into water
cask. Our youngster took no heed, and
at the next offence was put into the cask,
which was headed up, leaveng large bung-
hole for the admission of air.
The ship encountered a violent storm,
and in sudden lurch, the cask containing
the boy rolled into the sea. The circum-
stance was not noticed by any of those on
board. Fortunately the cask struck bung
mp, and hoated about 80 hours, when it was
thrown upon the beach of Cape St. Bias
Here the boy made efforts to extricate him.
self from his prison but without success, and
in despair gave up to die. Some COWS stroll
ling on the beach were attracted TO the tub
and one of the number, it being fly time,
switched her tail into the bung hole, which
he grasped with desperate resolution
The COW beloved and set out for life, and
after running some 200 yards with the cask
struck it against a log ON the beach, and
knocked it, as we may say, into a cooked
hat. The boy, prOvidentially released, was
discovered by some fishermen on the Point,
and taken to APalachicola, where a small
collection being made for him, he was ena'
bled 10 proceed north by the way Of Colum

Power of Imagination.

An honest New England farmer started
on a very cold day in winter, with his sled
and oxen, into the forest, half mile from
home, for the purpose of chopping some
wood. Having felled tree, he drove his
team alongside, and commenced chopping
it up. By an unlucky hit he brought the
whole bit of the axe across his foot with
sidelong stroke. The immense cash so a.
larmed him as to deprive him of all strength.
With great difficulty he succeeded in rolling
himself ON to the sled, and starting the oxen
for home. AS he reached the door he call
ed eagerly for help. His terrified wife and
daughter, with much effort lifted him into
the house, as he was wholly unable to help
himself He was carefully laid on the bed,
grooming all the while very bitterly. His
wife hastily prepared dressings, and remov-
ed the shoe and sock, expecting to see des-
perate wound, when 10 the skin was not G.
ven broken. Before going out in the morn
ing he wrapped his feet in red flannel, to
protect them from the cold the cash laid
this open to view, and he thought it flesh
and blood, His reason not correcting the
mistake, all the pain and loss of power which
attend the real wound followed. Man often
suffers more from imaginary evils, than from
real ones.

The Five Daughters.

A gentleman had five daughters, all o
whom he brought up to some useful and re
spectacle occupation in life. These daugh-
tiers married, one after the other, with the
consent of their father.
The first married a gentleman by the
name of Poor; the second, Mr.. Little !;
the third, Mr.. Short; the fourth, Mr..
Brown; and the fifth, Mr.. Hogg. At the
wedding of the latter, her sisters, with their
husbands, were present. After the cere-
monies of the wedding were over, the old
gentleman said to the guests: :
II have taken great pains to educate my
five daughters, that they might act we'll
their parts in life and from their advantages
and Improvements, fondly hoped that they
would do honor to my family; and now |

The Boston Courier in noticing the Rey.

without which we can never unlock our

We happen to remember that Great Britain
became duped and wheedled into her ex-
pensive and troublesome, and rulnous habit
of seizing bits of territory, and garrisoning
little rocks and islands all over the world,
by playing upon this same "key." Gibral-
tar was a key, St. Helena was key, the
Cape of Good Hope was key. Ceylon was

THE FOUNTAIN.


/.
Deep within quiet valley,
Burst fountain forth to light
Burst, and sprang instructive upward,
For its source was on the hight.
But its bright and eager waters
Left not far their crystal track;
Bonds invisible detained them,
And they fell exhausted back.
On that fountains messy margin,
Still, at eve, sat reclined,
Listened to the fountains music,
Wished might Its chain unbind
Thought, though hands unseen extending
Still drew back its silver rain,
Airy arms would soon receive it
Soon as cloud 'twould mount again.
In my bosom's quiet valley,
Bursts the fount of life its sod
Bursts, and strives instructive upward,
For its lofty source is God.
But that striving spirit-fountaln
Gains not far its upward track,
Bonds invisible detain it
Oft it sinks exhausted back
On that fountains crystal margin
Sits spirit, still reclined,
Radiant now with silver pinion,
But soul, from earth refined
Still that gentle spirit watches,
Waits till mine shall rend its chain,
While its pinion, half unfolding,
Lures me still the hight to gain!
