a GOOD STORY.

A certain friend of ours, whose urbanity and
good-fellowship have won him host of admi-
| rers, amused n company few evenings since,
with the following anecdote, which is too
good to be lost. S., captain of q new and
elegant packet on the Champlain Canal, was
spending few days, one winter, at Montreal,
and to skill time'' went into the theatre one
evening. During the performance the orches-
ira began playing e.God save the Queen" An
important, consequential looking parsonage
hustled around the theatre, touching one with
his cane and motioning to another, all the
time saying s.hats Off. gentlemen, hats of, our
national air.
Presently he approached Captain S., who is
diminutive specimen ofthe genus homo. and
called ont to him, ''hat off, sir, our national
air,'' The Lilliputian captain refused, when
the very consequential busybody with sweep
of his cane knocked the Captains hat upon
the floor. There was grand rush, the flash
ing of bright blade, and cries of eight,
ight;" but the bystanders interfered, and the
parties stood. gIaring at each other like wild
beasts. Captain S. remarked, ''I shall know
you next time we meet,'' and was hurried off
TO prison. In the spring following, Captain
S. was pacing the deck Of his beautiful packet,
as she lay at the wharf, at Whitehall.
The "United States'' had just arrived from
Rouse's Point: with passengers bound for Sar-
atoga, New York, &c. The Captain eyed the
party sharply, and among them recognized
his Montreal acquaintance, He proceeded at
once to the leader of the band and ordered
him, as soon as the boat was in motion, to
strike up 'sHail Columbia and after that
.sYankee DoodIe.'' The order was obeyed,
and the Captain appeared on deck swinging
huge bludgeon. As soon as the first note of
Yankee Doodle had been sounded, he called
out, sshats off, gentlemen, hats off, our nation
al airI''
His Montreal friend did not heed him, when
round came the bludgeon and away went the
Montreal gentieman's hat into the Canal. The
gentleman was indgnant-got mad-bluster-
ed awiully-but Captain S. was cool. .Per-
haps you don't know me? am the man whose
hat you knocked of, last winter in Montreal.
Glad to sec you." '.Quite right, Captain,
very right. l have bottle of the genuine
below; come down and we will pas, recciDss.''
