Col. Hays famous poem "Jim Blud.
soe," which every body has read, and
which has recently been severely criti
cised and ridiculed because the engineer
is made to do the pilots work in keep
ing the burning steamers "nozzlc agin
the bank" while the crew and passen.
gers scrambled ashore, is defended az
follows by New York correspondent
of the Syracuse Journal:
1t IS generally the pilots business to
do this by skillful manipulations Of the
wheel; but in the case of the Prmrie
Belle the tillar ropes were burned away
and as the paddle-whecls of Mississippi
boats work Independently, "Jim Blud
soe," who remained ut his post, was
able, by skillful management, TO supply
their place, and keep the boats head to
the shore. This is n true story, and the re
port that "Bludsoe' knocked out :
plank from the starhoard side and swan
down to Natchcz, and that the story o
his heroic death was a put mp job to en-
able him to get rid Of his wife in Pike
is one of those wicked and detes;abl'
ISLANDERS which some men delight il
disseminating for the purpose of de>toy
ing faith of human nature.

Practical JcSes.

The amcients used to indulge in pr;scsi-
Jokes to considerable extent; Tor IN
stance, the Thrac;ans at their drinking
parties, sometimes played the game o.
hanging. They fixed round moose 20
tie boagh Of a tree, and placed H"des
meath it a stone of such a shape tnas !,
would easily turn around when one stood
on il. Then thew drew lots, and he who
drew the lot took sickle in his hani,
stood on the stone, and put his neck IN
to the halter. Then the stone was kick'
ed away; if he could cut himself down
with his sickle, well and good; but II ne
was not quick enough, he was Eanged
outright; and the rest laughed, thinking
it good sport.
Nero's jcsts were likewise very prs.ct =,
cal. "What fat fellow that Senator IS!
he observed one day to court'er; "see
me cut him in two !" and he did 1t IN
the most facetious manner.
A French Auditor of Accounts IN the
seventeenth century was great pr''ct'-
cal Joker all his life, and even played
trick after he had lost the power OF en-
joying it, for he left four candles to DC
carried at his funeral, which had not
been burning fifteen minutes before they
went off as fire works.
When lady condesccnds to practl-
cal joke it is generally very neat one
NJ. Boncort, the rich financier was very
stingy to his wife in the matter OF pin
money. One day a lady, closely veiled,
and verv anxious not to be recognized,
called upon him and borrowed large
sum, leaving her diamonds in pledge. 1t
was his wife.
The Frcncl, thieves used sometimes to
steal so flnnily, that even their victims
were half innlined TO pardon them.
The Duke of Fronsac, nephew Of Mar
shall Richelieu, WAS coming out OF the
opera one night, in a splendid dress en-
broidered with pearls, when two thieves
managed to cut off his coat tails. lie
turned into his club, where verybody
laughed at him, anu so he found out
what had happened, and went home;
Early the next morning well dressed
man called at the Dukes hotel and de-
manded TO see him ut once on a matter
of most vital importance. Monsieur Dc
FrOnsac was awakened.
"Monsieur," said the visitor, e am
an officer of the police. Monsieur, the
Lieutenant OF Police, has learned the ac-
cident which happened to you yesterday.
on leaving the opera, and have been
sent by him to request you to order the
coat 10 be placed in my hands, that We
may convict the offender by comparing
il with the mutilated tails"
The dress was given mp, and the Duke
was in raptures with the vigilance OF the
police; but it was new trick OF the
rogue who had stolen the tails, by which
he possessed himself Of the entire gar
ment.-Chamber Journal.

A New YORK. letter says: "New York
Suddenly awakened to the fact that Bret
Harte's wife is one ofthc eight daughters
OF the late Judge Griswold, all of whom

A SCENE in DOMESTIC LIFK.-A wagg-
gish western editor thus describes scene
in domestic life.
An aunt of ours conclued to try the
efforts of pleasant smile and kind
word upon her husband when he return
ed from work. She had read how home
. should be pleasant, and the wife should
always meet the husband with pleas
ant smile. The success she had is best
given in the shape of dialogue.
fBnter husband, almost exhausted, and
vsry hungry withal throws his hat on
the noof, and drops heavily into seat.
Wiz, preparing tea, looks up with a
smile, and is so glad to see him
Wife-Well, my dear, it is SO nice to
have you here at meal time. A long
smile.
Husband-Yes, suppose so.
Wife-How has your business pros
pcred to-day? Another smile]
Hnsband-AbOut SO 80.
Wife-Comc, my dear, supper is
ready let me draw your chair. An
other smile.
Husband gruffiy-I am too tired to
stir. Wait till warm my feet.
Wife do as you choose my dear. An
other smile.
Husband-LoOk a'hcre, old woman,
before ANY more fuss is made about it
should like to know what you are grin
ming at
xunt smiled and relinquished her
sweet SMILES from that date. Uncle was
mot one ofthe romantic sort, and didn't
understand such things.

GONE Our FoREvLR.-Like dropping,
dying stars, our dearly loved ones go u
way from our sight. The stars Of our
hopes, our ambitions, our prayers. whose
light ever shines before us, they sudden
IL pale in the firmanent of our hearts,
and their place is.elt empty, cold and
dark. A mothers steady, soft and earn
est light, that beamed through all our
wants and sorrows;a fathers strong,
quick light, that kept our feet from
stumbling in the dark and treacherous
ways; q sisters light, SO mild, so pure,
90 constant and so firm, shining upon US
from gentle. loving eyes, and persuad.
ing US to grsce and goodness, a brothers
light, forever sleeping ia our soul, and
illuminating our goings and eomings; a
friends hight, true and trusty-gone out
forcveri So!the ligh. has not gone out.
It is shining beyond the stars, where
there is no night and no darkness, for
ever and forever Theodore Parker.
