A LITTLE TOO PUNCTUAL.
A STEAMBOAT SKETCH.
BY THE OLD UN.

The hour was approaching for the de-
parture of the New Haven steamboat
from her berth at New York, and the
usual crowd Of passengers, and friends Of
passengers, news-boys, fruit venders, were
assembled on and about the boat. We
were gazing at the motley group from the
foot of the promenade deck stairs, when
our attention, by the singular action Of a
tall, brown Yankee, was attracted in an
immense wool hat, chocolate colored coat
and pantaloons, and fancy vest. He
stood near the starboard paddlebox, scru-
tinized sharply every female who came
on board, every now and then consulting
an enormous silver bulls eye watch
which he raised from the depths Of Z
capacious fob, by means OF. powerful
steel chain. After mounting guard il
this manner, he dashed furiously dowT
the gang plank and up the wharf, reap
pearing almost iDstantaneously, with I
flushed face, expressing the most intens
anxiety. This series Of operations h
performed several times, after which b
rushed about the boat, wildly and hope

HIRRIE DENISON.

A day in July when all the air seem
ed ladened with heat, and the leaves on
the old tree branches hung motionless,
because the wind breathed not enough to
move them. The long meadow grass
looked dry, stiff, and almost crisped from
the burning sunbeams and -down-in the
he'd of the brook, where for many a day
there had been no water, the stones were
Glowing with intense heat.
And heat was what every one breath
ed, on this day, what every one thought
Of and if you had asked the little news
birds what intelligence they brought, 1 do
believe they would have looked down
upon you and replied in a piping, parch-
a voice, Heat, heat"

And so Mrs. Denison tread about wit
the loving child-memories singing the
song to her soul. She had always
pleasant face, and kindly word for US, 6
if she were ever counting up her dali
blessings and being thankful for them.

But he did not come. Two hor
went by, and the sun dipped lower a
lower toward the mountain. The lit
cloud had grown wide and broad, cow
ing the whole heaven and the air that h
been 50 still and stifling gave place
the crushing tempest winds.
"There'n be dreadful storm" sigh
Mrs. Denison, as she looped up the Ct
tains, shook out their dainty fringes, a
replaced the foot-stools for the twenti
time, and then tried to sew the bright b
tons on Hirrie's new coat, but it was

Concord. He soon met the British on
the retreat, and was not long in percei- |
wing that there was wasp's nest about
their ears. Determined to do his part,
he dashed forward and delivered the
contents of his gun in the faces of the
soldiers on the extreme left, and refining
back his steed to reload, he dealt a sec
ond death with his never failing bullet.
The tall, gaunt form of the assailant,
grey hairs floating in the breeze, and,
above all, the color of his horse, made
him conspicuous among the crowd Of
Americans which now numerously how
cred on the British flanks, and the regu-
lars gave him the eognomen of " Death
on a Pale Horse" Innumerable bullets
flew about his head as he made his first
assault, but undismayed, the old patriot
continued to appear, first on one flank,
and then on the other, and again in the
rear, dealing death among the red coats,
until vigorous charge of bayonets drove
him and others back. He had by this
time, however, run short of ammunition
and was obliged to pick up some along
the road from the boxes of those who haC
fallen. He soon appeared again, and ar

million tiny feet on the maple leaves.
Then it was such a bad road. Hirrie
didn't think it was so rough in the morning,
but perhaps it was because he rode in the
big cart, that he did not notice it; he could
not tell, he only knew that he was very,
very weary, and could almost wish as the
greatleafy branches stretched out toward
him. that they would bend low and take
him away to rest somewhere.
Hush Hirrie, don't you hear the
sound of water? There it was, close be-
fore him, deep gloomy river, whose
banks were so high that he was upon the
edge before he saw the water CLEAN. The
rain was plashing into it, breaking its
surface into little quivering rings.
A wild fear grew in Hirrie's heart, g
fear that made his cheeks white and his
hands weak. He had missed the way
he was lost. With hasty steps he turned
: upon the shore, but the ground was danE
and shiny, and his feet slipped; there wa

The census Of 1850 shows that in New
England over three hundred Thousand
persons were engaged in manufacturing
establishments--in New York about
two hundred thousand-in Pennsylvania
one hundred and fifty thousand. and in
other States nearly three hundred thous-
and, making an aggregate OF nearly
million in the entire country. This
number comprises those who are actual
ly engaged in these mills. III them be
addei those who, as children or other

terest a. stake in the prosperity OF these
establishments. The effect Of the stop
page of manufactures might he presented
impressiyely in the light Of political
economy. The capital invested in them
is four hundred and twepty-seven mill
hons Of dollars, and the value Of their
annual product over a thousand millions;
and every one must see that the locking
up Of such vast capital in idleness, and
the cessation ofsuch an amount of pro-
ductive industry must tell with tremen-
dous effect upon every material interest
of the country. But it is in its direct
personal bearings that the subject ex-
cites the most painful concern.
