A YANKEE TRICK.

A week or two ago four creditors started
from Boston in the same train of cars, for the
purpose of attaching the property of certain
debtor in Pennington, in the State of Maine
He owed each one separately, and they each
were suspicious of the object of the other, but
dared not say a word about it. So they rode,
acquaintance all, talking upon every thing
except that which they had most at heart
When they arrived at the depot at Pennington,
which was three miles from where the debtor
did business, they found nothing to fput 'em
on the road" but solitary cab, toward which
they all rushed. Three got in and refused adj
mittanee to the fourth, and the cab started.
The fourth ran after and got upon the out
side with the driver He asked the driver if
he wanted to sell his horse. He replied that
he did not want to-that he was not worth
more than $50, but he would not sell him for
that. He asked him if he would take 500
for him. eyes," said he. The "fourth man"
quickly paid over the money, took the reins
and backed the cab up to the bank-slipped it
from the harness and tipped it up SO that the
door could not be opened, and jumped upon
the horses back and rode off "lick-a-ty switch"
while the "insiders" were looking out of the
window, feeling like singed cats. He rode to
lawyers and got writ made and served, and
his debt secure, and got back to the hotel just
as the 'insiders" came up putting and blowing.
The eabman soon bought back his horse for
$50. The "sold" men offered to pay that sum,
if the fortunate one, who found property sufh-
cient to pay his own debt, would not tell of it
in Boston.

THE QUAKER CAPTAIN.

At the time of the Revolutionary War,
when it was very dangerous for a merchant
ship to venture to sea, a Quaker, who lived In
Philadelphia, had ship, which was loaded
with a very valuable cargo, and he was anxious
to have it transported to Boston. Having en-
gagged his crew, and taken good care to get
mate on whom he could depend, to manage
the ship, our friend sailed for Boston. After
being at sea six or eight hours, the mate espied
an English privateer in chase, and fast coming
up with them. He informed his Quaker COM
mander of the appearance of the English craft,
and of the danger of his ship.
"What will thee do ?" asked our Quaker
friend.
"I shall fight the rascal" said the mate
"Oh, no, should advise thee not to fight.
But thee must do as thee please; shall go be-
low"
The commander accordingly went below, and
soon heard the clashing of musketry and the
shouting of the combatants, and notwithstand-
ing his friendly disposition, began to be inter-
ested for the safety of his property. He soon
stuck his head up the companion way to see
how the battle was progressing, and saw the
English commander swinging his hat and
cheering on his men. Our hero could stand
this no longer, and stepping back he loaded
his gun and soon made his appearance again.
Taking good aim at the British captain, he
fred, "dropped" and a=ae'ain resreated. Soon
after, finding that the victory was turning ON
the side of the Yankee, he came ON deck, and
stepping up to his mate said:
"Has thee seen anything of that little noiEy
fellow lately that was making snch fuss, af-
ter went below"
"Ne, said the mate, the has been pretty still
since you shot him
Our friend justified himself in quieting the
noisy fellow, and arrived safely with his ship
and cargo, but thought the mate did wrong to-
fight.

And while those gloomy words left the two

to Stephen, which he had placed together for
an instant, changing them behind his back.

Where the rocks are gray and the shere is steep,
And the waters below look dark q, deep
Where the rugged pine, in its lonely pride,
Leans gloomigly over the murhy tide
Where the reeds and the rushes tall and rank,
And the weeds grow thick the winding bank;
Where the shadow is heavy the whole day through,
Lies at its moorings the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like sea-bird's wing that the wind hath lop'd -,
And crossed on the railing one Ger one,
Like folded hands when the work is done;
While busily back and forth between,
The spider stretches his sivery screen,
And the solemn OWL with his dull sfoo hoo,
Settles down on the side of the old canoe
The stern, half sunk in the Shiny wave,
Rots slowly away in its living grave,
And the green moss creeps DER its full cay,
Hiding it's smouldering dust away,
Like the hand that plants oer the tomb flower
Or the ivy that mantles the fallen tower;
While may blossom of Hveliest hue,
Springs up Ger the stern of the old canoe.
o, many a time with a careless hand
have pulled it away from the pebbly strand, =
Aud padded it down where the stream runs quick
Where the whirls are wild and the eddes thick,
And laughed as leaned DER the rocking side,
And locked below in the broken tide,
To see that the faces and forms were two
That were mirrored back from the cid cahoe.
But now as lean DER the crumbling side,
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The face that see there is grayer grown,
And the laugh that hear has a sober tone,
And the hands that lent to the light skiff wings
Have grown familiar with sterner things,
But love.to think of the hours that few,
As rockd where the whirls their white spray threw,
Ere the blossoms waved, or the green grass grew
Ger the mouldering stern of the old canoe.

ANECDOTE OF DOUGLAS.-CHARACTE
ISTIC OF THE MAN.

One of the delegates of the National Con-
vention of Printe in session last week at
Nashville, relates the following circumstance
as having occurred on the cars between Louis
vile and Nashville. 1t is perfectly charac
teristic of Senator Douglas.
We were speaking of Douglas chances, and
as might be expected, while his friends were
lauding his manly and true Democratic course
in the Lecomptonon trouble, some one took it
upon himself to denounce him. Among those
occupying seats in the car was hero of Cheru-
busco-a hero truly, for he lost both arms on
that bloody day! He had been silent observ-
er till he heard Douglas denounced, when he
approached the party, and, taking seat, re-
counted the manner of his great loss, stating
that he had been to Washington to have his
pension doubled, if possible. While there
lobbying, he became penniless, was unable to
secure his pension, and actually suffered for
the necessaries of life. He went, he said, to
various members, soliciting aid sufficient to
take him home, but without the least success
in single instance. He became greatly dis
couraged. The Southern members had reffsed
even pittance to one from their own section.
What should he do! At last he bethought
himself of asking small loan of Douglas
He accordingly called upon him, stating his
necessities. He was not permitted to close
his appeal. Taking from his pocket some fif-
ty or sixty dollars-all in his possession at the
time-he frankly offered it to him, saying
stake this, my friend; it is all have here"
I shall endeavor to return it. God willing
"Don't trouble yourself on that score-God
has blessed me, and if can do you favor
accept it as gift; for I am but loaning it with
interest for the future" Gentlemen, this is
the way Douglas fgts his enemies, and he is
bound to triumph. God bless him
The gentlemans name is Phaler, and it may
be found upon the roll of the "Bloody Fif
teehth," at Washington. His word is good.

SUBMARINE LANTERN.--An interesting
trial with new submarine lantern of peculiar
construction has recently been made at the
Portsmouth Navy Yard, and the result elected
high commentator. The lantern was first
lowered down to the bottom of the river, then
separate tests were made as to the exact dis
tance rays of light could be seen from the sur
face. Also, the distance light could be thrown,
SO as to distinguish accurately distinct objects.
An oar lowered to the depth of six feet from
the bottom, the lantern being sunk four feet,
was SO clearly seen that the grain of the wood
was distinctly visible. The rays of the light
were visible upon the surface of the river
when the lantern was sunk to the depth of
twelve feet. These experiments were made
in thick muddy water, and it is stated that,
had it not been that the board of examiners
in attendance were satisfied as to the principles
involved, the lantern would have been Kept
burning under the water for three hours. The
same principles which govern at the depth of
sixteen feet will, it is claimed prove equally
successful at the depsh of ninety or one hun
dred and thirty feet.
