Adventure witt, Il Pirate.

There lived not many years ago, on the
eastern shore of Mt Desert, a large island
off the coast of Maine, an old fisherman by
the name of Jedediah Spinnet, who owned
a schooner of some hundred tons burden,
in which, together with four stout sons, he
was wont to 90 about once year to the
Grand Banks for the purpose of catching
Goldfish. The old man had five things, upon
the peculiar merits of which he loved to
boast-his schooner Betsy Jenkins and
his four sons were all that their father repre-
sented them to be, and no one ever doubted
his word when he said their like was not to
be found for fifty miles around. The oldest
was thirty-two, while the youngest had just
completed his twenty-sixth year; and they
answered to the names Seth, Andrew, John,
and Samuel.
One morning a stranger called upon Jed
ediah to engage him to take to Havana some
iron machinery belonging to steam engines
for sugar plantations. The terms were soon
agreed upon, and the old man and his sons
Immediately set about putting the machine
ry on board; that accomplished, they set
sail for Havana, with fair wind, and for
several days proceeded on their course with
out an adventure of any kind. One morn
ing, however, vessel was deserted off their
starboard quarter, which, after some hesita-
tion the old man pronounced to be pirate.
There was not much time allowed them for
doubling, for the vessel soon saluted them
with very disagreeable whizzing of an
eighteen pound shot just under their stern.
THAT means for us to heaye too,' remark
ed the old man.
'sThen l CUES we'd better do it, hadn't
we?' said Seth.
"Of course" 20
Accordingly the Betsy Jenkins was bro't
up to the wind and her mainboom hauled
over to windward
"Now, boys" said the old man, as soon
as the schooner came to stand, call we can
do is to be as cool as possible, and trust to
fortune. There is no way to escape that L
can see now, but perhaps if we are civil
they will take such stuff as they want and
then let us 60 At any rate there is no use
of crying about it, for it can't be helped
Now get your pistols and see that they
are surely loaded, and have your knives
ready; but be sure and hide them so that
the pirates shall see no show of resistance. I"
| In few moments all the arms which the
schooner afforded, with the exception of one
or two old muskets, were secured about the
persons of the down casters, and they quietly
awaited the coming of the pirate.
Zone word more, boys said the old man,

Society, and has founded four societies for
the relief of the poor, viz: one each for the
Arabs, Hottentots Muscovites and Patago-
mans. My Ma sent some resolutions, which
she hoped would be passed by the Conven-
ton, and scatter destruction in the ranks of
the enemy. [ will now read the resolu-
tions: r
L. No smoking in the house or on the
premises.
g. No tea, coffee or wine drinking, except
for the ladies'
3. No breakfast to be kept hot for the
lazy louts; ditto dinner; ditto supper.
4. The ladies to render no account to the
husbands of what they do with money.
g. Wear out what little patience the hus-
bands may have; the sooner the better.
6. Claim, take possession of, and keep in
good repair, the unmentionables.
The young lady took her seat, and the
resolutions were passed by acclamation
Loud cries were then heard for "Sockdolla-
ger.r' ''Sockdollager"' Whereupon Mrs.
Sockdollager stood up in her seat, and made
an old-fashioned curtsey to the audience

carried an arm like a prize-Gghter. She

The Dandy Frightening a Squat
ter.
BY S. L. C.

BY S. L. c.
About thirteen years ago, when the now
fourishing young city of Hannibal, on the
Mississippi river, was but a woodward,
surrounded by few huts, belonging to some
hardy, 'squatter and such thing as a
steamboat was considered quite sight the
following incident occurred:
IA tall brawny woodsman stood leaning
against a tree which stood upon the bank
of the river, gazing at some approaching
object, which our readers would easily have
discovered to be a steamboat.
About half an hour elapsed, and the boat
was moored, and the hands busily engaged
in taking on wood.
Now among the many passengers on this
boat, both male and female was spruce
young dandy, with killing moustache, &C.,
who seemed bent On making an impression
upon the hearts of the young ladies on board,
and to do this, he thought he must perform
some heroic deed Observing our squatter
friend, he imagined this to be a fine opportuni
ty to bring himself into notice; so, stepping
into the cabin, he said:
Ladies, if you wish to enjoy good laugh,
step out on the guards. intend to fright
en- that gentleman into fits who stands on
the bank
The ladies complied with the request
and our dandy drew from his bosom form
idable looking bowie-knife. and thrust it in
to his belt then, taking a large horse-pistol
in each hand, he seemed satisfied that all
was right. Thus equipped, he strobe on
shore, with an air which seemed to say
The hope of the nation depend on me-
Marching up to the woodman, he exclaimed:
Found you at last, have [? You are
the very man I've been looking for these
three weeks.-Say your prayers! he con-
tinued, presenting his pistols, you'll make
capital barn door, and shall drill the key
hole myself
The squatter calmly surveyed him mo-
ment and then, drawing back step, he
planted his huge fist directly between the
eyes of his astonished antagonist, who III
moment was foundering in the turbid wa
ters of the Mississippi.
Every passenger on the boat had by this
time collected on the guards and the shout
that now went up from the crowd speedily
restored the crest-fallen hero to his senses.
and, as he was sneaking off towards the boat,
was thus accosted by his conqueror
L say, yeou, next time yeou come around
drillin' key-holes, don't forget yer old ac-
quaintance y
The ladies unanimously voted the knife
and pistols to the victor. Carpet Bag.

ARIsTocRAcY-We hold that it is no
sort of consequence who was man grand

grandson ? IF tradition be true we all came
from Adam and Eve. The most that can
be said Of them-they followed the business
of gardening, and had scanty supply of
wearing APPAREL. Or if we don't choose to
track back farther than Noah-he was a
ship carpenter, and built the largest craft
ever known If those republicans who are
so foppish on lineage, would follow the trades
of their ancestors, they would soon show
whether blood was good for anything But
generally they are loafers, too proud to
work, but not too proud to sponge. Time,
however, cures many things. In the course
of its onward progress it will cure this
An aristocracy of blood cannot be perpetu-
ated unless sustained by law or entail, such
as they have in Europe. Here three gene

THE following ballad is founded, in part, upon
a thrilling story of the West, related by Mr. Coop
er, the novelist
The shades of evening closed around
The boundless praries of the West
AS, grouped in sadness on the ground,
A band of pilgrims leaned to rest
Upon the tangled weeds were laid,
The mother and her youngest born,
Who slept, while Others watched and prayed,
And thus the weary night went on.
Thick darkness shrouded earth and sky
When on the morning winds there came,
The Teton's shrill and thrilling cry.
The heaven was pierced with shafts of flame,
The sun seemed rising through the haze,
But with ar aspect dread and dire
The very ar appeared to blaze!
Oh God the prairie was on firel
Around the centre of the plain
A belt of fame retreat denied,
And, like furnace glowed the train
That walled them in on every side:
And onward rolled the torrent wild
Wreathes of dense smoke obscured the sky?
Down knelt the mother and her child,
And all--save one-shreked out ''We dep
sNot so " he "help--clear the sedge!
Strip bare circle to the land ~
That done, he hastened to its edge,
And grasped rifle in his hand;
Dried weeds to held beside the pan,
Which kindled at flash the mass
Now fire fight fre" he said, as ran
The torked flames among the grass.
On three sides soon the torrent few
But on the fourth no more it raved!
Then large and broad the circle grew,
And thus the pilgrim band was saved!
The flames receded far and wide,
The mother had not prayed in vainl
God had the Teton's arts defed
His scythe Of fire had swept the plain.

In two days from that time Capt. Spinnet

into the hands of the civil authorities and
delivered the clipper up to the government,
in return for which he received sum OF

Christmas.

Christmas, this year, is pushed along further
in the week than usual. Next Saturday is
Christmas Day, and as Friday is an unlucky
day, very few nuplial knots will be tied this
year on Christmas Eve. But we advise all
persons interested not to put off the important
ceremony on that account
The observance of Christmas is deemed of
more Importance in the Middle and Southern
States than in New England. We are glad
to perceive the day is more generally noticed
in New England than formerly. The decora-
ton of churches is becomming common, and
the old prejudces against free, social and hap
Ply intercourse, entertained by some stiff re-
ligonists, are wearing away. The day is a
good day for good deeds, and as we have so
few days for holidays from one years end to
another, its observance ought to be perpetuated
as sociable and endearing custom.
The little folks are wide awake fo- Christ
mas, we'll warrant. The nice presents are to
come thick and fast. Visions of crammed
stockings, hing up in a row, are now before
their eyes. Expectancy is a blessed thing to
them. Saint Nicholas never forge,s the little
ones, emblems of innocence and the kingdom
of heaven. Let Christmas then be happy
day in the family, as eyes sparkle with delight
and countenances beam with happiness.
