Ringing Him In.

A few weeks since, . tall, awkward
looking chap, just from the green noun
tains of Vermont, came On board enc of
tho North River boats at Albany. His
curiosity was amazingly excited at once,
and he commenced "psekipg," as be
called it, into every nook and corner of
the boat. The captains oHice, the en-
g'ne-room, the water. closets, the barber $
shop, ell underwent an inspection and
then he went Oh deck, and stood in maze
ment al the lsver-besm, the chimnsys,
and various '6xins,' ill, at last, he
caugh ht sight Of the bell. This was the
cIowning wonder, and be viewed it from
every position, walked around it, got
down on bis knees and looked up into il,
and exclaimed:
"WaIl, rally, this beats the bell on our
mestin' house = darnsd sigbt.'
BY this time the attention of the captain
and several of the passengers were At
tracted to this genius.
"How much would you ask to lot fell
Ter ring this bell? p
You may ring it for q dollar, sir,
said the captain.
"W4ll, it's bargain, all fair and agreed
and no backing OUT
"l's bargain, sir" said tho captain.
Our hero went deliberately and brought
a seat, and took hold Of the bell.rope,
and having arranged everything to his
satisfaction, commenced ringing slowly
at first, and, gradually, faster and faster,
till everybody on board though. the boat
on fire, and rushed on deck screaming
with alarm.
There stood the captain, and there
stood the monster, r'ngiug away, frs.
slow aud then fast, and then TIVE or three
taps At a time.
The passengers began to expostula.e !;
the captain said it was a bargain. But
the passengers became urgent that the
eternal clankor should be stopped.
All the while there sa, our hero. undis
turbed, ringing away more ways than q
Cockney chimney-ringer ever drea ut of.
AT last, the captain began to think it
time to stop the simplstou, but bis answer
was:-
"a fair bargain, and no backing out"
And he rang away for dear life.
""elI," says the captain, "what will
you take to stop7'
"Wall, sap'n' l guess l shsan't lose
nothing if take FIVE dollars aud \ free
passage to New York, bu. not darned
cent less"
well, walk down to the Office and get
your money and passage ticket" said the
captain.
