The story of the water which got
into the hold Of the ship loaded with
| rice, says an exchange, and so swelled
the cargo that it burst the vessel assun-
der, reminds the editor of the "Kinder-
hook Rough Notes" of the captain of a
North River sloop, who, having hired
a new cook at Albany, set him to cook
ing rice, which he said he had done one
hundred times.
Telling him that he would find fifteen
pounds in the locker, and cautioning
him about cooking too much, the cap
tain went about his business Of loading
his vessel with pig iron.
In half an hour the new cook rushed
out, exclaiming.-
Say, captain, don't take on any
more pig iron; we will have @ load OF
billed rice before night"
The captain rushed into the cabin
where he found all the pots, kettles,
pans, and tubs full to overfowing with
cooked rice, which was also seething
over the top Of the kettle and falling
upon the stove and floor.
"What you been dom? yelled the
skipper, as he glanced around. Glow

Her laughing eyes were brown.

Till madness filed my brain,
Andthep~and then-I know vas wrong

With rain-drops shining on her cheek,

The little lassie stFove to speak
My boldness to oppose;
She strove in vain, and quiYering
Her finger stole III mlnei
And then the birds beganto sing,
The sun began 70 shine.

However winds may blow;
And I'm as proud as any prince,
AZ honors / d isdain;
She saws / am her rain beau since
