A Yankee Trick.

While indulging in few "reminiscences of the past among party of friends a few days ago, well-known ship broker of Boston related an incident of his busi- ness experience. A man one day entered his office with letters of introduction, proposing to charter 0 vessel to proceed to the Coatzacoa1cos river. in Mexico, and bring a cargo of dyewood to Boston. He produced chart of the river, pointed cut the exact spot where the wood could be found, and much interesting informa- tion in regard to the country and it's productions, showing an intimate ac- quaintance with the business in hand. wood brought here should sell at apro- fit he would want to charter several yes sels for the trade. A bargain was accord ingly made with him, he was furnished a vessel, in which he took passage and she proceeded to her destination. On ar irving in the river near where the cargo was expected to be found, the dealer ill dyewood landed and immediately struck for the woods, disappearing before the astonished eyes of the captain, and nev- CT was seen afterward. The truth was made apparent The fellow being short of funds, and desiring to reach that coun- try, which he evidently had visited be- fore, had resorted to one of the best concocted plans ever matured by 6 rogue to obtain 0 free passage. It is un- necessary to say that the man was 8 Yankee, possessed of more than the ordinary ingenuity of the race. He was subsequently heard from Oh the Pacific coast. It was not, however, a losing operation to the owners of the vessel, fel sbe fortunately obtained a freight in the river and made handsome profit out ot the voyage.-Erchaaage.

Imposition on Newspaper Publishers.

Many advertisers have practice, even when they have but small advertise ment in paper, of getting up o pufing article for an editorial, from ten lines up to hundred or more, and then modest ly asking the proprietors to insert it as reading matter, " free gratis for noth- ing" Now, at the moderate rates of ten cents per line, which most papers charge for insel ting business notices in reading matter type, the free advertising thus cooly requested would come to consider ably more than the advertisement which they pay for. It is true that there may be some great public enterprises which are worthy of liberality on the part of the publisher in the way of free notices, but, as a general thing, those who ask this free pufiing have no greater claim on the public press than any other aaverti- ser. A publishers advertising columns are his main source of income, and no one has any more right to ask for the g1atui- tous use of the same than he has to re- quest the freedom of clothing store, that he may help himself to what suits him. Another imposition on newspaper publishers is practiced by magazines, which expect, for an exchange, notice every month, at least equal in value to their magazine for whole year. Not long ago, just after we had given lead ing monthly a notice which, at our regu. lar rates, amounted to just about a years subscription to the magazine, we re- ceived polite circular from the publish CTS, stating that their exchange list had become so large that they regretted being obliged to discontinue sending it to many papers, and we have not received it since. Is it not time that newspaper men deter mined no longer to submit to such impo- sitions ?-FTshkiU Journal.

HOLD FAST BEIow-A partv

HOLD FAST BEIow.-A party of Irish men, once upon time, contracted to clear avery deep well. Having none of the usual con veniences employed for such purposes, they were at ailoss how to get one of the party on alittle ledge near the bottom to assist in getting out water, mud, etc. .. At last Jimmy Phelan, a herculean fellow, proposed a plan which was considered just the thing. It was this :1 Jimmy was to clasp his big fists around the windlass;r then another of the party was to chamber down and hold on by his legs, and so on until the last man should be able to leap upon the ledge. Being slightly corned with liquor, the party prepared for the descent, with out stopping to contemplate the diff culties involved in theadventure With barred breast, and sleeves tucked up, big Jimmy seized the round portion of the windlass directly over the well and swung himself over. Another of the party Scrept down Jimny's body and I grasped him by the boots. After several more had followed suit, and the human chain began to stretch far into the well, Jimmy became alive to one great diff culty the windlass did not afford him a good hold in the first place, and the weight was getting intolerable. At la, human sinew could stand it no longer, and Jimmy hailed the lower link in the chain with: !" Be jabers, Pat, howld fast below till I sphit on me hans. '' Suiting the action to the words, he re- leased his hold, when, of course, the i whole party was precipitated to the bot tom of the well. As luck would have it, there was more mud than water where the Hibernians lit, and they wisely con. sidered themselves particularly fortunate in escaping without actual loss of either | life or limb.

A SENSIBLE YoUNG MAYA young man who sends communication to the ''Mas sachusetts Ploughman describes him self as one of those young men of Maine, who was foolish enough at twenty-one, to leave home, good farm, where he was needed, and start for the city to seek bis fortune, with bright anticipations of city life, and an easy fortune in view. But after one years experience he saw things in different light, and found that cramped life in 8 city boarding house was no place for him. On inc old farm, he could hitch up horse, and take Q drive, afternoon or evening, and no lost time, no " "five-spot" for team; and when it came to social enjoyments, he found his down-East acqualntances much better than any he could get in the city. So on the whole he concluded to be free man in the country and not slave in the city ,and he packed up and started for home, 8 wiser man than when he left. He found all glad to see him back again, and a friend offered to assist him if he would buy farm; so on the first of April, 1866, Che being twenty-two years of age) he bought farm all stocked and fooled, commenced farming down-East style. Since that time he has been hard at it, and is much better off and happier than he would have been if he had been in the city.

Treasures of the Sea.

The enterprising Yankee who superin- tends the work of gettin up the millions of dollars lying in the hulk of the old Spanish frigate ''San Pedro, which sunk in the Bay of Camuna, century or more ago, gives brief account of the progress of the work at last advice. He says:
 He found the work in prosperous condition, about $1 800 in silver coin having been recovered by the dredging apparatus from the sand near the stern of the vessel, and her hull prepared for exploration. He continued the search for loose dollars with the sand pump, an in- vention of his own, and with that and the dredge secured $500 more within week, the pump in seventy feet of water throw ing up dollars, bullets, pieces of brass, etc., some of them weighing over six ounces At the date of his letter the ex- ploration of the wreck had been in pro- gress three days, and the divers were digging near the forward hatch, through a mass of timber, cannon, muskets, shot, shell, cordage etc., from six to eight feet deep. At some distance below this sur- face board was found with 8 rouleau of silver dollars corroded together and fastened to its under side, as if to the cover of @ box.
 The climate is a genial one, but as northeast winds prevail, it,is extremely damp. With the thermometer never higher than s3 degrees, or lower than v degrees, everything becomes saturated with moisture or covered with mold or rust. Yet the water is very poor, and so, indeed, are the fruit and provisions of the country. Fish there are, however, in vast numbers. Mir. Fuller says they are the "wonder of the place." They much impede the divers work, smaller ones lying in almost a solid body as far as the eye can reach under the water, while the larger ones (not shark, SIX teen feet long, float in the water liko logs, and it is necessary to pass among them like cattle in barn-yard.' Among other of the agreeable institutions of Cumana Bay, MT. Fuller mentions sharks twenty-five feet in length, and cheerful native called the devil-tish, nearly square in shape, measuring twenty-five feet each way, which has an unpleasant habit of clutching whatever 1t touches with it's fippers, and making off like young steamboat. The members of the expedi- tion were all ill good health, and in ex- cellent spirits.

Farmers Bows.

When was boy, my first savings of ten cent pieces, earned by Saturday afternoon work-for school kept half a day on Saturday then-were expended in buying heifer calf. Then I worked on and paid my father certain sum each month for keeping it. When the calf was one year old I traded it for two steer calves, and now I had to put in good and strong to pay for their keep but I occupied all my spare time in teaching these calves to work in the yoke, and at one year old they would gee and haw as for their use in leading the team for bre aking in his two and three-year olds. Again, I had Q piece of ground each year after l was fourteen, that could plant and work on shares; and if ] wanted help, why I had to give two days of my time to the hired mans one day. grew just what my fancy and reading dictated, and from the proceeds I dressed as well as any boys now. ] always had some time to play, time te read, and now look back with love an6 pleasant thoughts to the old farm, an6 the farm hand who taught me to use every tool, and whipped me when neg lected to drive the team out straight a the end of the furrow in blowing. Thi remembrance of my boyhood has alway iuduced me to favor all items of encour agemert at home on the farm and believe if it were more generally prac ticed, we should have more good farmers and fewer broken down merchants, O loafng, hanging-on. time-serving clerks ready for anything except honorabl labor and usefulness belonging to tn highest order of creation.
