The RaCkxyOOdsInan or a steam
boat.

Three or four years ago, new high
pressure steamboat had Just been built
for the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and
was lying at Louisville, with her steam
up, and ready TO start in few moments,
when two real backwoodsmen were seen
on the wharf, looking at her with gaping
mouths and admiring eyes. Presently
one of them (the larger and holder look
ing OF the two) exhibited disposition
10 go aboard-the other evidently dis
suading him from the rash step. After
time, however, curiosity got the better
of the advice of his more cautious COM
panion, and he stepped manfully on board,
and, after looking timidly around for a
moment, as though astonished at his own
daring, with cautious step he entered the
engine room. His natural confidence
soon returning, he commenced series
of questions at the engineer. The latter
smoked him at once, and with that spirit
of mischief so prevalent amongst old
boatmen, he determined TO have some
=. IN at the greenhorn's expense. So,
leading him on under pretense of I'M
yelling TO him the mysteries of his craft,
he placed him at last just under the safe
ty valve. Suddenly giving it pull he
let off a tremendous jet of steam.
Now the countryman, hearing the ter
rifle noise, and seeing the rush of steam,
very naturally concluded that this was
one of those " blow ups" of which he
had heard SO much so rushing at the
top Of his speed 10 the stern of the boat,
overheard he went with one brave
bound, and as he came up from his dive,
after shaking his head like huge New
foundland dog, and squirting the water
from his mouth, he struck out boldly for
the shore, at the same time singing out to
his friend =" Abe, shes bust 10 thunder.
