HInginS About"

A Texan correspondent of the New Or
leans Plea yune tells good story in one Of
his letters, of ga surly-faced, grizzly haired,
huffy and moon-eyed chap" who perse-
cuted certain roguish damsel with his at
tentions, but was finally thrown off the
course of true love, by the following ruse:
1t being the watermelon season, and
Betty's father having full supply, all the
Youngsters for miles around assembled there
the holy day to have feast on m melons -
C. was prominent in the circle till the af-
ternoon, Betty held private interviews with
the other young men, and arranged that G.
should be decoyed away from the house and
frightened by the crv OF Indians from some
of his comrades, which was thought would
wound his pride and drive him away. Five
young men, with c., walked out. A bathe
in the river, three hundred yards distant,
was proposed by one, end seconded by sew
eral. Of course, poor C. was ssin."
They went down to the ford near the
melon-patch apd begun undressing. In the
meantime, eight or ten others, with guns,
had gone down under cover of the bank, and
secreted themselves along the path from
the bathing place to the house. The COM
pany with c. are in glee, and in going down
spoke of the recent outrages of the Indians,
their increased boldness, &c, thus excited
the authoritative bumps of c. to the high
est pitch.
"Now, boys" said one, "who shall be the
first to dive in that 'er pool, ehl''
Il WILL" said c., saint first with the
gals! In course l'm first here"
OFF went coats, shoes, pants, &c. Just
as C. had DOTTED everything, barring short,
red-fannel shirt-bang! bang! bang!-
Who-who-yeh! Bang! went two, three
four guns--loud and shrill arose the Indian
yell in the dense brush, and under the bank
"Oh, Lord! am dead man, boys!" said
James Simpson.
"My leg is broken. Oh, save mel" cried
George Williams.
"Run for life, men! Run, for mercy IS
sake, runr' cried Jack Parsons, zone OF my
eyes is out, and both arms broken!" all be-
ing said in an instant; when-do you see
that red blaze along the path! Look a mo-
ment-what velocity! That Jagged hair

The affections, and feel no dread lest time

this kind was caught by English sailors near
the Island OF Ascension, who burnt name

to Eng land it fell sick, and from sheer pity
it was thrown overheard in the English
Channel Two years later the same turtle
was captured once more, now quite well,

Nothing is lost-the tiniest seed

The language of some hou sehold song,
The perfume OF some cherished dover,
Though gone from outward sense, belong

So with our words. OF harsh or kind,
Uttered, they are not all forgot;
They have their influence on the mind,
Pass on--but perish not.
Sowith onr deeds, for good or ill,
They have their power scarce understood
Then let us use our better will,
To make them rife with good!
