of trouble especially when numerous safe ports
could be reached within twenty -four hours sailing.
However, as it is a marine maxim never to see a
signal of distress without endeavorng to ascertain
the and offering assistance the captain of an
English vessel overhauled our disconsolate craft,
and hailed:
"Bng hoy!"
"Hil boo-hoo-hoo! !" answered voice, apparently
choked with sobbng.
''What briggs that, and where are you from?"
at is the boo-hoo-from Beverly,
boo-hoo-bound -boo-hoo-Smyrna-b hoo o
co."
"What's your distress?"
At this inquiry, there appeared to be general
boo hoo o-o-o-ing from stem to stern. The sobs
and cries evidently those of men, and thinking
that there might be sickness on board something
of the sort, the English skipper lowered his boat,
and was soon on the deck of the Susan. Here a
sight met his eyes, which at first really alarmed
him. There were several stout looking young fel-
lows in different parts of the vessel sitting upon up
turned buckets and downturned barrels, the very
pictures of agony and despair. They were all sob
bing and weeping like children.
"What's the matter here?" said the English
Captain.
"Boo-hoo-hoo!" answered the quarter deck.
o-hoo-hoo!" sobbed amidships. "Boo-hoo-hoo
replied the forecastle.
"Where's the skipper?"
One OF them managed to reply that he was In
the cabin. Down went the Englishman, and the
first thing he beheld was the skipper with the big
tear rolling down his cheeks, looking agonizingly
into an empty barrel.
"You appear to be in much distress, captain
said the English commander, kindly; 'Pray tell me
what is the natter"
The Beverly skipper looked up and gazed va
cantly upon his questioner.
''The matter? What's the matter? Look into
that barrel, sir-that empty barrel@here his sobs
nearly stied him, ewe're from Beverly, sir, in the
Stpte of Massachusetts,, and hunt had a bean for
three treeks !"-Heraid.

A coon ANEcDOTE.-A correspondent tells
the following good story: SIT seems that the per-
son who blows the bellows of the organ of st.
Luke's church, also attends to the furnace for
warming the building, and having occasion, during
service, to mind the fires, he left the bellows in
charge of coachman lately imported, and green
as the Emerald Isle of his nativity, before the ap
pearance of the potato rot. During his absence,
the Gloria in Excelsis' came in the order of exer-
cises, to be chanted, and Patrick was directed to
furnish the organic element. A short time elapsed,
but no music followed the touch of the lady who
presided at the instrument. Blow whispered the
fair organist. Blow repeated the leader; and
blow blast you, blow echoed the entire choir, but
not puff found its way into the vacant pipes, to
wake the slumbering harmony. An investigation
took place, and Patrick was found behind the or
gan, with both hands tightly clenched around the
bellows handle Ia stick of some five feet long and
two inches thick,) the end stuck in his mouth, his
cheeks swelled to the utmost expansion, his eyes
distended and perspiraton streaming from his face,
engaged in the vigorous but vain attempt to force
his breath through the pores of the wood into the
body of the instrument. 1t is perhaps unnecessary
to say that some little time passed before the choir
were able to screw their mouths into that serious
pucker requisite to the proper performance of the
musical exercises."-New York Traveller.

A Doc SrORY.-"Pat" is Just one of the great
est dogs out strong as lion, but gentle as lamb.
He leaves nothing alive upon which he is fairly
set, but he would not ruffie the feathers of the
smallest chicken, unbidden, for his right paw. He
will drag the children in cart, as long he can
drag himself, and never utter word of complaint;
but wo betide the being who comes within his
reach, when duty calls him to sterner mood. A
very useful dog is "Pat," too. He will 'carry and
fetch" anything entrusted to him, and makes HIM
self very generally useful in the way of errand go
ing. He divides his time between one of our
journey back and forth, of those who would make
more fuss about it. The other day he was sent to
the farm with basket for eggs. 1t was observed
that he did not come back promptly usual, but
the circumstance excited no special attention. He
came in at last looking though nothing at all
had happened. He glad to the folks, and ap-
peared very much at his ease, and perfectly salts
fed with himself, with no goadings of conscience
to mar his happiness. In the midst of his apparent
happiness however, he was interrupted with the
inquiry, "Pat where are your eggs?" His tail fell
about sixty degrees instantly, and with look per-
fectly Ineligible, he turned, and was Off Going
to pile of timber, not far away, he found his bas-
ket of eggs, and bringing them home made the best
apology dog could make, and gave them into the
hands of his mistress. On inquiry, it was ascer-
| tanned that on his way home, he met some other
dogs and feeling little social he put his eggs in
safe place, and stopped for social chat with his
friends, and finally went home, and forgot to take
his eggs along. We believe this is the first in
stance in which dog has been shown to have feU-
gotten anything.-N. II. Telegraph.
