A Hsicl, story.

. AH - ID
A tall, awkward looking chap, just from
the Green Mountains OF Vermont, came on
board of one of the splendid North River
boats at Albany. His curiosity was amaz-
ingly excited at once,, and he commenced
"peekng,p as he ca led.h into every nook
and corner on the boat. The captains, Of.
fee, the engine room, the water closets, the
barber's shop, all underwent his inspection;s
and then he went on deck and stood in
amazement at the lever beam, the imneys,
and the various "fxns,' TIL at lasthe caught
sight ,Ief the bell. This was the crowning
wonder, and he viewed it from every posi-.
ton, walked around it,, got upon his knees
and looked up into il, and exclaimed:Y%e4
"Wall. rally, tllis beats the bell on, our
meetin' house darned sight" .7s,.5 pa ,-s.
By this time, the attention Q Il the, captain
and several Of the passengers was attracted
to this genius. ,~.,-
SHOW much would yuu ask to let a feller
ring this belff''' ...s .,....,,s ). ,,,z
"You may ring it for a dollar, sir"
a"Wall,it's a bargain, all fair and agreed,
| and no backing eout." wv 20 = '''' '''''4'
"Tt's a bargain, sif,,'' said the captain.
Our hero went deliberately and brought a
seat and took hold Of the bell rope, and hav.
ing arranged everything to satisfaction,
commenced ringing slowlya'at first, and
gradually faster, till everybody on board
thought the boat was On fire. and rushed on
deck, screhming with alarm. al4all'V no
There stood the captain, and there sdt the
"Vairmohnter, ,ariBeihg away first slow and
then fast, dndtheh two or three taps at a
time. The passengers began to expcstulate;
The, captain said Il was al1Sargait,. But the
passengers became urgent that the eternal
4 clangor should besstopped. eAll5 the while
there sat our hero dpaistsrbed, ringing away
more ways than .eockney chime ringer
ever dreamed Of. At last the captain began
TO think it time 70 stop the singleton, BIZ

her hoops stuck out a feet, She walked the
earth ns il she felt Of it she was no, part
and proudly did, she step along, for pride
was in her heart. She did not see curly
dog which walked close by her side, afl save
the bhsRy tail of which her crinoine. did

lit duuered in the wind, and from the. Ia.
dy's crinoline stuck out a. foot behind. A.
crowd the tail did soon, espy, as it waved to

which way, the maid should 80. The curly
dog right pleased was, he such quarters he
had got, and walked beside the, lady in a
kind Of dogsish trot. Each step the lady,
now rdid take, served to increase her train.

ronred oat with might aud main. Some
held their sides they laughed So, hard, and
many fairly cried, and many even still CON
fess that day they'd "like to, died." But
still the lady sailed Olong, in, crinoline, and
pride, unmindful Of the crowd behind, or dog
close BY her side, But soon another dog
espied the tail which futtered free--it 50
provoked his doggish ire he could not let il
be-but with 4 deep ferocious growl. for
battle straight he went, and meath the !!ady's
crinoline both dogs were. quickly pents :
They fought lis said ono hour or .more7-ths
