An Ingenious BootbIack.

The street bootblacks are one of the
: ''institutions" of New York, as well as of
some other large cities. You see them
on the sidewalks, in and around the ho-
tells, and frequently on the ferry-boats -
They carry box containing their kit OF
implements the brushes, backing-boxes,
&c. This is suspended by strap over
the shoulders, and when customer mods
assent to their generally polite invitation
of, 'Black yer boots Z" or "Shine up.
sir 2" they quickly set down their box for
your feet to re4t on, drop upon their
knees on the pavement, and work as rap
idly as possible, so as not to detain their
patrons. They first turn up the pants,
to keep them from being soiled, then with
one brush they clean the boots, with an
ether applying the backing, and with
two Others, one in each hand, polishing
away. They return ''thank ye' for the
half dime, or lime, given for their labor.
The boys are generally so polite and SO
industrious that we rather like them, and
sometimes take ''shne up" just to see
them work, and to chat with the smart
little fellows Here is case illustrating
their ingenuity.
A well-dressed man standing at hotel
door, not long since, was hailed 10y one
of them with the usual question:
"Shine up, sir"
"What do you charge for backing
boots p asked the man, who was some
what noted for his stnginess.
Five cents" WAS the reply.
"Too much, too much; I'll give you
three cents" said the man.
''Al! right" said the youngster, and
at it he went with mi ght and main, and
very soon had one boot shining like a
mirror but instead of commencing on
the other, he began packing up his
brushes.
"Iou haven't finished" exclaimed the
man.
"Ncver mind" replied the bootblack,
with a twinkle of the eye, Il won't
charge you for anything I've done there
comes customer who pays"
he man glanced at the shining boot,
then at the other, which was rusty and
besprinkled with mud, thought of the
ridiculous figure he would make with
one polished boot, and amid the laughter
of the bystanders agreed to give the
sharp boy ten cents to finish the job,
which he did in double quick time and
with great pleasure.

A CHARLESTON BEAUTY.-The follow.
ing is an extract from the letter of
naval officer on board one of the United
States gunboats near Charleston, S, C. ::
saw an angel few days ago, in the
shape of IA lelutiiul young lady, who
came on board with her father to take the
oath. Without exception she was the
most beautiful being that l ever had the
pleasure to feast my eyes upon. When /
saw her come alongside, being officer of
the deck, | rushed to the gangway, and
was very attentive in seeing her over the
side safely, and waiting upon her up to
the quarter deck. Her father was en-
gagged with the captain, and took the
opportunity TO engage in convei sation
with the charmcr. | found her rather
modest and ditii'lent, not having yet made
her debut in society, but she did very
WELL
was at the time chewing tobacco.
which OF course was very ungallant on
my part. She noticed it, and what do
you think ! Why, she remarked that
'she had not been able to obtain any to-
bacco for Il real long time; and as for
snuff, she had not had dip she didn't
know when." | having good sized
piece in my pocket offered it to her, when,
with sparkling eyes and beam of JOY
and delight upon her countenance, she
asked ''it' she could have the whole of it,"
l answered with smile certainly"
when she took a good sized quid and
commenced chewing and splitting with the
gusto of an able seaman. How my idea
of beauty vanished

A "SETTLER."-A one-legged orator,
named Jones, was pretty successful in
bantering an lrishman, when the latter
asked him:
"llow did you come TO lose your
leg!"
SWELL" said Jones. ''on examining
my pedigree and looking upon my des-
cent, found there was some Irish blood
in Inc, and becoming convinced il was all
settled in that left lee, / had it cut off at
once"
''Be the powers" said Pat, sit 'ud av
