ROLLED UP TIT a MUMMY,

We often meet with quaint, rough
fellows, particularly in seaport towns
and among old seamen. 1 have seen
and talked with many such, but one
OF the quaintest, and at the same
time the most original of these cha
racters, was old Duggins, the light
house keeper at Finley.
For many year / have been in the
habit of visiting this part, and not a
few OF my evenings have been spent
at the lighthouse, listening to his
yarns.
sYou see. SIR" began Duggins on
one of7these OCCASION, 'I was Almost
born'd on the wafer, 80 that couldn't t
help being fond of it. But never
mind that; what TIM going to tell
you is about the first gale O. wind I
was ever out in.
My father was a fisherman-that
is tossay, ne went fishing when there
were any fish, and when there wasn't,
and in the SIMMER time, he used to
paint up the old boat and take peo-
pie out pleasuring, and I used to go
out with him.
II was only six years old when
this here happened, as I'm a going
to tell you about.
"People use to say to father, 'Aint
you 'fraid to have that young child
with you, Mr.. Duggins-he'n be
sure to be drownded some day?'
emo, num- father used to say;
he's safe not to be drowned-he was
born with caul'
"You see, sir, father and mother
both believed in cauls. don't. I've
heard of people giving much as five
and ten pounds for one of them
things. But what I want to know
is, what's the good of 'em? People
say as them as has got one 'ull never
be drowned; but that's right down
ridiculous. Tt amt likely as o bit of
skin like that will be any use to q
feller when he's overheard in gale
o. wind-it's regular nonsense-that's s
what call it.
II never put no trust in cauls, I
can tell ye. IL I'm in danger, I puts
my trust in God. Says to myself,
He can save me if it's His will; but
"a to caulS and such like rubbish, I
never took no account of them. When
| got into gale O. wind, or into a
lee shore, wasn't the time I began
to pray, as many good people do.
What l mean is, I didn't leave it till
I was nigh shipwrecked before I
began; neither did I pray specially
to be saved when I was in storm !;
because, you see, there was wuss
things nor drowning as wanted to
be saved from. Besides, I knowed
as God was MS able to take care of
me on sea as on land, in storm as
well as in calm. 1 amt one of
them as thinks if you are to be
drowned, you will; and if you are to
to be saved, you will, aad 80 don't
keep their weather eye open. No;
what ] used to say to myself was
this: Jim, my lad, if ever you get
overheard in gale o'wind, just you
put your trust in Goo, and strike out
hard.

Commercial that the following took
place in the Kentucky Legislature n
few days ago:
"a member from one Of our noun
tain counties, full of conservatism,
and strong advocate Of the Louis
vile Journal, each morning as he
would take his seat in the House, as
business opened, would commence
reading his favorite paper, and about
the same moment some member
would move to dispense with the
reading Of the journal, and our
mountain member would lay down
his paper. lie stood this for some
time, when, rising from his seat one
morning, after the usual motion, he
exclaimed at the top of his voice:
"Mr. Speaker, I've sot here in my
seat fur more'n a week, and submit.

Somebody, every morning, moves Il

the following epitaph for Beast But
Ter to be engraved on tombstone
surmounted by two spoons:
"Here rots in the earth as roasts
in hell the greatest disgrace America
was ever cursed with, Ben Brute
Butler the coward, traitor, thief,
robber, the woman insulter, who by
his betrayals, thefts and disregard Of
honor, and manhood, worked on a
weak-minded man to give him COM
mission in an army that he might be
protected in his robberies. When he
spake, honest men doubted-when he
commanded brave men were MUIR
dered-when he was in power women
wept and virtue failed to protect
when he ruled innocence suffered
when he travelled people buttoned in
their watches-when he dined, peo.
pie eyed their spoons-when h,
passed churches the silverwart
disappeared-when he died no one
mourned the death of the brute and
robber who came from no one know,
