Our Boat.

The Exchange came in port last
Wednesday, with such a cargo of
varied freight as was never land
ed on the Bayou side. We hailed
her arrival with unfeigned pleas.

boat, that one Of our worthy citi-
zens had built at 81 much expense
and trouble expressly for our
trade, return safe despite the fears
Of sea-faring misfortune entertain.
ed by some. The Exchange is
new and staunch built and of
greater tonnage than any boat we
have had in this Bayou, and should
for more than one reason control
public patronage. Not only the

age for this additional reason that
every cent Of money spent with
the Exchange in the way Of trans

and with our home people ; there
is no drain. The boat is we'll off

The Praying Clerk.

A New England merchant do.
ing a large business requiring
several clerks, a short time since
missed several articles of value
from his store. He determined
to watch the habits Of these young
men, to discover, if possible
which one. if either of them, was
not trustworthy.
There was one of them who
appeared particularly active and
faithful. His dress was inferior
to that Of the other clerks, and
he was evidently not particularly
popular anopg them. The mer-
chant learned that this young
man remained for half an hour
after the others left with the
door of the store locked. This
circumstance awakened his suspi.
cious, and he arranged a plan to
conceal himself in the store, so
that he might discover what &C.
Cured when the clerk supposed
himself to be unobserved. Hav-
ing sent the young man upon an
errand just before the hour Of
closing, he entered his place OF
co%ncealment. The door was
locked, as usual, at the proper
time.
The clerk at once began to
sweep and put the establishment
into order. While waiting for
the dust to settle he was seen to
go behind the counter, and tax.
ing something from beneath it,
place it in the breast Of his coat.

The merchant was now alive
to discover what had been taken.
and what was to be done with it.
The Young man went to the win
dow and sat in silence a few mo-
ments, apparently examining the
packages which he had taken
from his breast.
The merchant was not long left
in doubt. His clerk soon fell
upon his knees. he saw that 1t
was the Bible he had been read
ing. And now he offered aloud
q simple and touching prayer for
himself, his mother and sister,
his employer, and particularly
for brother clerk, who he feared
was yielding to temptation.
After he had finished busting he
left the store, UNCONSCIOUS Of hav-
ing had a human eye upon him
1t is easy to believe that the
merchant was deeply affected by
what he had seen and heard. The
clerks salary was increased to
several hundred dollars a year
and he was given the position
made vacant by the discharge Of
another, whose criminal acts had
been discovered.

Relating his Indian experiences
Colonel Meadows Taylor tells of
his being beset by Hundreds of
pilgrims and travellers, crying out
against the bunnias or foursellers,
who not only gave their customers
short weight, but adulterated the
flour so abominably with sand,
that cakes made Of it we're utterly
uneatable. The colonel deter
mined to punish the cheats ; and
this is how he did it. Il told"
says he, "some reliable men of my
escort to 60 quietly into the
bazaars, and each buy -four at a
scperate shop, being careful to
note whose shop it was. The
fonr was brought to the. l tes-
ted every sample, aud fohndrit
full of sand as | passed it Ender
my teeth. I then desired all the
persons named in my list to be
sent to me, with their baskets of
-four their weights and scales.
Shortly afterward they arrived,
evidently suspecting nothing, and
were placed in a row On the grass
before my tent. Now said l,
gravely, each of you is to weigh
out a scar (lwo pounds) of your
-four ; which was done.
"Is it for the pilgrims 2 asked
one.
NO. said I, quietly, though /
had much difficulty to keep my
|cotnteDance. You must eat it
yourselves
"T'hey saw that | was in ear.
nest, and offered to pay any fine
/ imposed.
"Not so,' l returned. you have
made many eat your -four ; why
should you object to eat it your
selves.
"They were horribly frightened
and amid the screams Of laughter
and jeers of the by-standers, some
Ct thsm actually began to eat,
eputtering out the half moistened
-four, which could be heard
cruuching between their teeth.
1T last some Of them flung them
selves on their faces, abjectly be.
seeching pardon !" and SO, with
a severe admonition, they were
let off. No more was heard OF
the bad -four.
1t is a pity adulterators at
home can not be served in the
same way ; pure food would be
the rule, if the concoctors aud
vendors of vile make-belieyes
were liable to compulsory con-
sumption of their owl wares.

Eg The Democratic Mass
meeting advertised to take place
here Thursday the q inst, was a
sublime 6zzle. Quite q number
of people came in from the coun-
try expecting to hear some Of the
ELOQUENT orators billed for the
occasion, bot they did not turn
up, according to promise. 70 US
this was no great surprise. W.
have seen Poor Vermilion, snub'
bed so often that this comes quite
natural.

n@r After all the fuss and
bloster of the past few days we
feel like resting up a bit, and as
soon as we get in good trim we
will settle a few old scores we
have with Hyams Gould, Jas
tremski and others.
