ONE OF THE WITNEssEs.-The late

ONE OF THE WITNEssEs.-The late
J. S., a man of infinite wit and humor,
and who had probably seen as much Of
life in America, as any one, used to
tell the following story, which is too
good to be lost, though probably no one
but he could do such full justice to it.
If we err not, it ran somehow thus:
What railroad stock is in the East,
steamboat shares are in the West, and
as almost every body owns more or
less, it is almost impossible to procure
a judgment against any company for
injury, carelessness, or even loss Of
life. Such suits are very frequent, and
give rise to some strange "contre-
temps"
Not long since it seems, a steam
boat called the "Old Kentuck,'' blew
up near the Trinity at the mouth of the
Ohio, where it is well established fact,
that a great many mosquitoes will
weigh a pound, by which accident a
lady rejoicing in the name Of Mrs.
Jones, lost her husband and her trunk,
and, for both Of which an action was
brought.
There was, strange to say, great
difficulty in proving that MIR. Jones
had been on the boat at the time Of
the collapse, that worthy having been
gloriously drunk on the wharf boat
just as the steamer left Trinity.
Many witnesses were examined to
prove the fact, until finally Mr.. Deit-
shmar, German, was placed on the
stand. Our friend J. S. was attorney
for the boat, and elected from Mr..
Deitzhmar this testimony:
MIR. Deitzhmar, did you know the
Old Kentuck p
yah, 1 was plown up NIT her.
"Were you on board when she col
lapsed her flue?"
When she burst de bile? yah, wash
dare.''
"Did you know Mr.. Jones?'
"TO be sure MIR. Jones and l took
passenger togeder."
d" You did? When did you last see
Mr.. Jones on board the boat"
i" l didn't see Mr.. Jones aboard de
boat last time"
j. 5. fancied his case was safe, and
with most triumphant glance at the ju-
ry, said.
You did not! Well, Mr.. Deitzmar,
when last did you see Mr.. Jones!o
Well, when the schmoke pipe ant
me was gong up, We met Mr.. Jones
coming down..''

The New York Sun, of the 18th,
mentions an incident which should i'm
mortalize the noble little fellow who
was the hero Of it. 1t says that on
Friday afternoon two little boys, chip
gatherers, were playing on the wharf
when one Of them, six years Of age,
incautiously approaching too near the
edge, lost his balance and tumbled
headlong into the water, falling a dis
lance of ten feet. His brother, ten
years of age, no sooner saw what had
happened to his companion than in he
plunged to the rescue, though neither
of them could swim. The little fell
lows clasped each other around the
neck and sank, apparently in the en-
brace Of death. Again they arose to
the surface, and again they sank, when
up rushed little boy, eleven years old,
who, tearing of his clothes in an in
slant, with bold leap plunged head
foremost into the water. In a moment
more three little heads appeared above
the surface, and our little hero began
to kick and splash about like young
whale. His splashing was to some pur-
pose, for he soon managed to push his
prizes up against the dock, where he
kept their noses above water until all
three were relieved by the by-standers
above.
The boys name who performed this
noble deed is John Kelly, of humble
parents and after the occurrence he
seemed to think he had done nothing
worthy Of note. His mother on hear
ing of it, remarked, that " John was
always daring boy" Not the least
feature Of the affecting incident, was
the feeling exhibited by the crowd most
ly composed of sailors and stout work.
men, who crowded around their Draw
ny hands were THRUST into their pockets
and drew out all the change they had,
thus making up quite purse for the
noble boy. AS the Sun says, d" of
such boys men are made" and We
hope the Common Council will award
him medal as suggested, comment
orative of this deed of daring or what
is better, if possible, make provisions
for him in such a way as will deyel-
ope traits promising so well.

There's bower Of bean-vines in Denjamin's yard,
And the cabbages round IMPLANTED for greens;
In the time Of my childhood thought 1t was hard,
reach through rough leaves and gather the beans
That work, and those dinners, never forget.
But oft, when work without any reward,
think, are the cabbages growing there yet?
Are the bean-vines still bearing in Benamn's yard2
No, the bean-vnes whered that hung o'er the poles
But some bushels were gathered Of ripe beans alone,
And soup distilled, which gave forth from the bowls
An the fragrance Of summer when summer gone
Thus memory draws from delight, e'er it dies,
An essence that brea;hes Of II, awfuily hard,
And thus good to my lips, as 1t to my eyes,
Is that bower OF bean-vlnes I'm Benjamn's yard.
