A HoosIER ON A STEAMBoAT.--G oing
up the Ohio river, last fall, we took on
board a rather verdant youth at Hick-

He examined here, and scrutinized there;
he wormed from the engineer compul-
sorry lectury on the steam engine, and
mechanics in general; and from the fire.
man an essay on "white heat" and the
average consumption of pine cord-wood,
etc
at length his "inquiring mind" was
checked in its Investigations. He mount
ed to ths wheel-house, and was asking
the pilot
"What are you dom that fur, mister ?
What good. does that do?'
He was here observed by the captain,
who said, in gruff voice.

the sign, "No talking to the man at the

Oh, certing; ye-es; but l ondly want

"Well, you do know now, that you
can't talk to him; so just go way p
With unwilling willingness the ver-
dant youth came down, and as it was
soon dark he presently went below; but
four or Ave times before he "turned in"
he went on, and near the wheel house,
cycling it with thoughtful curiosity,
but, with the captains rebuff still in his
ears, venturing to ask no question.
In the first grey of the morning he was
up and out on the deck; and after some
hesitation, perceiving nobody near save
the pilot, who was turning the wheel as
when he had last seen him, he asked his,
suppressed question in an o6lique style
somewhat characteristic of his region
"Wal--goin' it get, ha?" Been at
