YANKEE SPIRIT.

An illustration of true Yankee spirit,
which occurred in the army is related in
the New Orleans Delta. Four young
men from Maine, found that by enlisting,
and observing while in the army, rig
i'd system of sobriety and economy they
would rather improve than dissipate their
fortunes. As comrades they entered the
army, and comrades they continued in
it. Doing their dulles like good soldiers
but outstanding their pay like provident
men, who looked forward for hereafter.
The term Oftheir enlistment expired few
days b. fore the battle of Palo Alto, and
they were paid and discharged. They
had each of them some three or four hun
dred dollars which, with their thrift, in
telhgence and industry, was a capital
quite sufficient to insure them an inde-
pendence in the lumber business of their
native 5 ate. Cn leaning that battle
was expected in few days they again
deposited their money with the paymas.
ter; asked permission to take their old
places in their respective companies. and
to be suffered to take part in the perform
ance, just as long as they would last.
Their request was granted /: they nobly
sustained their pars il the military dance
of the two glorious days-the 9th aud
9th of May, The deadly strife over,
they called for their tempor rily depos-
tied pay-it was cheerfully given them
they bid long farewell to the "pride,
pomp and circumstance of glorious wars
left n board the first boat and they are
at this time cup to their eyes" in the
lumber business. in the State of Maine.
WHEN fame is regarded as the lend,
and merit as only the means, men are
apt to dispense with the latter, if the for
mer can be had without it.

GBoite 5flistellang,
From the n O. Picayunel
THE SAILOR AND THE JEW.

Saturday used to be happy night to
poor Jack. Then it vas that, as the end
of the week brought him nearer to the
port of his destination, be looked forward
with pleasure to the time when he should
be released for while from the hard
ships Of another voyage, and anticipated
the fun of frolic ashore. On such oc-
cas'Ons the steward regularly came for
ward with a bottie of rum and the COM
pliments of the captain, when the liule
halt-gill cup would be handed around,
and as each man tossed off his grog,
preceded by some quaint and original
sentiment, hearty laugh would follow
such laugh as only sailors can give.
Then came the anecdoIe and tire yarn,
while others employed themselves in
then watch on deck, in serubbing out a
pair Of trowSers for the coming Sabbath
for sailors always dress up at sea of a
Sunday, provided the weather will per-
NIT. Ii was on Saturday night then,
when it was expected that the ship would
make the land during The next week,
and the crew had been specializing on
what "high old times" they would have
when they got ashore, thai Sam spun The
following yarn:
Did any of you, messmates, ever
know oId Jack Ringbolt ?" asked Sam.
"Ive heard Of him." replied one of
The sailors.
WE'LL continued Sam, he was a
chum OF mine the first voyage l ever
went TO sea, and be used to be the life
of the whole ship. There was not port
in the world, l believe, he had not been
to, anu If any sal or ever knew The ropes
1t was Jack Ringbolt, for there wasn't
anything but what he was up 10. He
said he came hume once in one of our
frisates-it WIS a long time ago-afler
three years cruise, in which he had
served as captain OF the fOre top. The
frigale arrived at Philadelphia, and he
was paid Oft there.
In those days there was no railroads +;
and Jack, after having d regular spree
concluded TO take the steamboat and stage
coach to New York, and go to Boston
to see his friends. On leaving his land
lord he called for his bill, and told him
he wan cd to pay double, "for fear that
when he came back he might have no
money
g But 1 might forget you" said the
landlord.
'Oh. no you WON'T" said Jack hold
ing up stick in his hand "you see
this stick, . and he took off his tarpaulin

while Jack took off his old tarpaulin, and
handed il over with the stick.
Here said he, take my hat and
give US your bank notes.
The jew received them eagerly, and
gave Jack his cap in the bargain.
At the next stopping place Jack got
out and bid the jew good bye, who con
tinued :on his way. As the stage drove
off, Jack burst into fit of laughter, and
slapping his hand on his thigh, turned
to The jolly host and said:
Il wish l may never see land again,
if did moi sell my hat and stick to that
jew for two hundred dollars % and Jack
roaled again, and asked the landlord TO
join him in a drink, as he inquired when
the next stage would come al ne.
The Jew soon arrived in Philadelphia,
and exulling over his fortunate purchase,
with ravenous appetite he entered an
eating house and determined 10 have a
glorious dinner. Having called for the
best of everything. and drunk a bottle
of wine, he rose to depart, and put ing
Jack tarpaulin on The stick, he gave it
turn, and winked at the landlord, in
imitation of Jack.
"What do you mean by that 20 asked
the host.
Why, don't you know? 20 said the
Jew, going through the motions again.
"C Come, come, none of your cursed
nonsense. said the host, ''but pay fol
your DINNER
" Pay for my dinner |! - replied the
Jew in surprise, and thinking perhaps he
had not done the thing right, he tried ii
over again, and cooking up his eye, he
gave the landlord another wink.
"What the devil do you mean ?" ask
ed the landlord, who now got in a furi
Gus passion "you needn't think 10
come it over me with your winking and
Tom foolery pay me for your dinner,
sir, or ii have you taken up And
here he seized the Jew by the throat,
whose top lights looked as if they would
start from his fgure-head, and carry
away his top gallant eyebrows. The
jew sung ouI fOr mercy, and tried to ex-
plain by attempting once more to make
the landlord understand, and gave the
hat another twirl on the stick, when the
landlord boiling with rage knocked him
over"
''Tell that to the marines" said one
of Sans messmates, who had been
laughing nearly 10 split their sides. ''for
you cannot make US swallow that for duff. :"
(dough.)
Its true" said Sam, "every word
as old Jack told it to me, for he said
when he got 10 Philadelphia he heard
the Jew had been arrested for swindling,
and on his being brou, hit before the
court, he told the story, and went thro'
the motions, which raised such a shout
of merriment among the bystanders, that

HARVESTIN
BY W. p PORTER

Down where the blossoms glow,
Down where the waters iow,
Down near the woods where the cool zephyrs lark
Half in the shaded, and
Half in the open land,
Stands rough harvest band
Busy at work.
Brown are the reaPers there,
Brown are their hands so bare,
Swiftly they movealong over the ground
See hog their sickles fly,
Glancing like sunlight by,
And the tall golden rye
Falieth around.
On come the binders then,
SwaIth are those hardy men.
Raking and binding the sheaves as they go;
Raking the yellow stalks
Over the stubble walks,
Making them into shocks
All in row.
Yonder fountain free,
Plays by the maple tree,
Down in the field near yOn dark nIarshy tarn
Low lays the golden grain,
Heaped is the creaking vain,
Which down the crooked lane
Winds to the barn.
Sleek are the oxen red
Standing beneath the shed,
Brushing the savage flies patient away;
And the blithe farmers now
Fill high the empty NOV,
Then down the lane they go
Making no stay,
Way IN the distant sky
Watch the bright sunshine die,
Gliding the clouds that curtain the west;
Done is the days work then.
Down through the winding lane
Home go the tired men
Glad of the rest.

NEW DESTROYER.

VIM. J kellogg, Engineer of the 41st
New York State militia sends to the Iri-
6uns a statement that Homer Anderson,
formerly professor of Natural Sciences and
Mathematics in Clinton Literal Institute,
has invented an entirely new incendiary
shell which is considered to be one of
the great discoveries of the age. First,
he will wrap in flames any fortifcation
that the Ameri, an p Ople can erect, Ell
ther of stone or wood. Second, any
shipping. Third, any city in fifteen
minutes l must say, Judging from the
experiments made, that these positions
will be sustained in field or marine SER
vice. A six FOUNDER was charged with
powder and shell, and was fired at some
rocks at suitable distance. Electricity
could not be more sudden than was the
ignition upon the rocks cOrruscat ons
of light arose some fifty feet in the air,
eman .ting from materials under the most
intense ignition. 1t rained very hard
but Notwithstanding the rain it burned
on the rocks twenty five minutes, and
in various places on The grass, which was
exceedingly wet. Cheers upon cheers
burst forth from the gazers when they
saw the flames bursting forth from the
bare rocks, covering an area of twenty
square feet, be ore the sound of the can

plished what many have attempted and
failed-sudden Ignition in gunnery, and

HENRY CLAYs FAMILY MANSION

The Louisville Journal recently charg-
ed Mr.. James B. Clay, son Of the great
statesman, with tearing down the old
family mansion for personal gain. Mr..
Clay Indignantly denies the charge and
enters into lengthy explanation of his
conduct. He says that the old edi6ce
was almost ready to tumble down. and
that he was compelled to have it rebuilt.
A portion Of the timbers he caused to be
converted into canes, and devoted the
proceeds TO charitablr purposes. This is
all very well ; but in our judgement. it
would be hetter to let tne venerable edi-
fee fall by the hand of time, as fell the
great man who built it eVeLand Lea
