twas at the close Of glorious SUM-

distant hen roost-the bullfrogs were
commencing their evening songs-the
pollywogs in their native mudpuddles
were preparing themselves for the
shades of night; Sal and myself sat up
upon antiquated black log, listening to
the music of nature-suoh az tree -toads

mellow music of distant jackass was
waited to our ears by the gentle zephyr
that sighed among the mullen stalks,
and came heavily loaded with the de-
licious odor of hen-roosts and pig-stys.
The last lingering rays of the setting
sun, glancing from the brass buttons of
a solitary horseman, shone through a
knot hole in the log pen full into Sal's
face, dying her hair an orange peel hue,
and showing off my threadbare coat
to bad advantage; one of my arms
was around Sal's waist, and the other
resting on the small of her back; she
was toying with my auburn locks of
jetty hue; she was almost gone, and l
was ditto. She looked like grasshop-

like mudturtle choked with Goldfish

as a dying swan, "will you have me ?'

And that we're all alone;
Cease mother, thou art weary,
And Papa's only gone
To yonder home in Heaven
And all are happy there,
There all are blest-are sinless-
Have golden crowns to wear;
Nay, Mother, bring my bonnet,
I'll go to yonder sky,
Tell papa that you're waiting
And that you often sigh
Because our home is lonely,

And then know he'll kiss me
just as he used to do.
Then ceased the little prattler,
The mothers cheek was dry,
She whispered, yes, my darling,
Papa's in yonder sky;
He's happy dearest Eva,
Released from every care;
When it shall please "Our Father"
Well go and meet him there.

Each tress of golden hair,
And was not Eva dreaming
Of meeting Papa there?

OF Heaven, bright holy land?
All yes, oft in our slumbers

The Course Of the Slave Trade.

The New York Herald gives the fol-
lowing as sketch of the present course
of the african slave trade:
.''The course Of the slave trade, as
now carried on, is very simple. The
trader takes with him to the coast about
seven or eight thousand dollars in Span
ish ounces. With these he buys Of the
British trading vessels there-Who
make up the cargoes for the market
the assortment Of goods necessary for
this barter and work. These consist
Of Birmingham muskets and shackles.
Manchester, madapollams and hand
kerchiefs, little rum, powder, and a
few knicknacks. From the native
traders he buys rice to feed his slaves.
The original sum of seven or eight
thousand dollars will give him a stock
that in barter will probably buy fifteen
hundred assorted negroes. To take
these from the factory he requires three
vessels. Having availed himself of the
English flag for the first part of the
business, which is getting the goods to
the coast for the barter, he now does
the same with the American fac to Get
the vessel there. Three American yes
sells are purchased, and some reckless
Adventures is found who will deliver
them to the coast. When they get
there, the flag and papers are sent
ashore, and the negroes come on board.
4 new crew, in part or all, comes with
them, who understand taking care Of
the slaves. And now for the run to
Cuba. Every place below is filed;
the crew remain always on deck, rain
or shine, and a look out is kept at the
mast head all the time. If q sail is de
serted upon the horizon, the course Of
the vessel is changed so as to avoid it.
They wish to meet neither friend nor
foe. If the cargo is landed in Cuba,
the vessel, having no papers, is an in
cum brance. Sometimes she is burnt,
sometimes set adrift at sea, as was the
Grey Eagle, off Bahia Honda; some
times she IS run to some small Mexican
port, where she gets Mexican papers;
sometimes she is giyen to the mate as
in the case Of the faidee, or to the cap
tain, as probably the case Of the Wan

THAT CAR.-Perhaps some folks have
taken it for granted that this place was
soon to be blessed with s railroad, from
the fact that Car has been in course
of construction on Front street. If any
should have been thus misled, We would
inform them that it is Daguerrean
Car, gotten up by Mr.. II. NJ. Haskell,
who announces in another column his
readiness to accommodate the public
with pictures and the prices at which
he affords them. We think no one can
grumble at either the arrangement Or
prices. ''Secure the shadow ere the

for an apparatus for walking on water.
The apparatus consists Of two small
boats with submerged machinery for
propulsion. The inventor tested the
machine himself, and proved its entire
adaptability to its object, which is prac-
ticaIly useful one. He intends to use
it for wild fowl shooting on the lakes,
creeks and ponds which they frequent
BY covering the machine with branch
es Of trees, the focks Of fowl can be
safely approached by the sportsman,
and destruction dealt among them from
quarter whence they would not ap-
prehend it.
