ATCuAFALAYA CURRENCY.


Capt. Shallcross, of the Mississippi steamer
Peytona. is one of the crack captains of the
river. Everybody knows him and he knows
everybody; and therefore we must tell little
story about him. One day the Peytona was
steaming down past the cotton woods, to
wards New Orleans, when she was hailed by
another boat going up.
Halo! Captain Shall"-
"IIallO" was the answer.
Got any Atchafalaya money?
Yes, plenty"
well, pay it out, the banks busted, or
gwne to-"
"Ay, ay," said Capt. ShallcrOss. "Clerk,
have you got much Of that money!
About thousand dollars, reckon, sIr,
said the clerk Of the Peytona.
well stop at the first wood boat" And
the Peytona puffed on until wood boat was
seen moored to the shore, with piles of cord
wood aronnd, and a small man, with his
trowsers rolled up, and his hands in his pock
cts, shiverng on the bank beside his boat, in
the chill December weather. "Wood boat;
ahoy" sang out Capt. Shall.
Small man in the distance, "Hallo.'
"Want to sell that wood?"
Small man IN the distance, "1a5."
Take Atchafs!aya money!"
Small man in the distance, "Ias."
Round to, pilot" said Capt. Shall. The
boats bound down stream always have to
come around with the bows pointed up
stream, to resist the current Of the Mississip-
pi sometimes they encounter big eddy and
have to take sweep of some miles before
they reach the landing place. So 1t was
in this instance. $50 you'll take Atcha-
faylaya money for wood, will you?" said
the captain as the boat approached the
shore
YES" said the small man.
GLOW will you take it," said Capt Shall,
(meaning at what rate.
Take i, even," said small man.
What do you mean by even?"
"Cord for cord, captain.
"Put her around again, pilot said Capt.
Shall "wood up at the next wharf boat;
reckon this fellow has been posted by some
body on Atchatayla." p Erchqnge.

EFFECTS OF A LONG SERMON

A clergyman on Sunday last, says the
Boston Courier, preached sermon Of unu-
sual interest and ability, and at the same
time of, UNUSUAL length, OBTAINING his con-
gregation for half an hour beyond the accus-
toned time of dismissal. That the thoughts
of ali his hearers were not fixed on heavenly
things during the last thirty minutes may DO
inferred from the remark of a lady listener
as she passed out Of church: "Well guess
my turkey is spOilt by thir timc.'
