A moment he looked about him, and he saw the long boat behind him, nearly half full of rain water. A yah yah, mas'r Sam. Cool 'urn off!" And a he spoko, he dumped the astounded giant over into the long-boat, and as he let go his hold, tho massive body splashed in tho deep, dirty water. All the night before it had rained hard, and a the large boat had not been covered, and the plug being in, she wa9 of course well failed. At any rate, there was enough water to completely submerge the victim.

In an instant all hands gathered about the boat, myself among the rest. First wo heard a terrible sputtering, and puffing and blowing, like a hippopotamus just come to land, and in a moment more Sara's sandy head, all dripping and 6oaked, appeared above the rail, lie saw us all standing there with convulsions of restained mirth upon our faces, nnd for somo seconds he moved not a hair. Never before- did I see such utter misery htich unmitigated woe, as dwelt upon that face. Edwin Forrest's CONQUBINO A SlIA-POG. Somo years azo.

when tho old sliij up "Uv-Ki when I j-i rt" k4 new and Htauneb. and when haJ comnuind of her, thorc happened on hoard an incident, over which I have laughed many lime, when memory has brought it back to me. I loaded at Mobile with cotton and run to Liverpool. Among my crew was a man namod Ilannot Sim, we always called him. llo waa ono of the largest form ed men I ever saw.

and came Irorn Homo where in New England. He stood six feet and live inches in his bare 1'oct, and was as stout and bulky in proportion. Ho had ono fault, and that was a inordinato prido of strength. He was not quarrelsome, nor had he a revengeful point in his character, and yet he was continually pestering and annoying tho crew. Hardly a day passed that he did not givo one or more of them bodily pain by his freaks.

He would catch a poor follow by the legs, and swing him over his head, at the imminent risk of smashing his brains out ngrinst the mast or bulwarks, and then he would, laugh hugely at the poor man's fright. Sometimes ho would scizo a man by the arm and lay him upon the deck, and in nc very easy manner, either. It was of no use for the men to remonstrate, for he would be sure to punish them in some way. Of course I forbade Sam from doing such things but ho could not remember my orders longer than over one night. The love of "fun," as he called it, was fixed too strongly upon him, and it could not bo taken out of hi in.

Ho did not realizo how unpleasant his pranks were, nor did ho know that the rt stwf the crew had trrown to dislike him. They had adopted many expedients to cure came on deck with dry clothes on, and hav-hian; but they all failed, and though ho had 1 i hung his wet ones in the rigging to dry, .1.1.

Ham was tho solicitor of the Sixth Judicial Circuit for many years, and in that capacity indicted a man by the name of Ca-Lk iv. itfnllnn hnron. The cause was tried at Cabarrus Court, and Mr. Ellis (now the Governor of North Carolina) defended him. The proof was that the meat had lately been taken out ot pickle and hung up.

It was barely discolored with smoke, and not near being cured. The prisoner's counsel took the ground that the proof did not sustain the charge in tho bill of indictment for it appeared that his client had taken fork and not bacon. The solicitor replied. He insisted the article was properly denominated, for that it was not necessary that meat should be thoroughly cured before it become bacon that these two words pork aad bacon served rather to indicate the conditon in which it was while undergoing the process of curing; that while it was in the Raft, in bulk, it was called pork, but immediately on being hung up it was properly oacon; -anu 10 suuw, pays he, "that I am right, I will relate to your Honor an anecdote. The brow of the Judge assumed rather a stormy aspect, but this did not intimidate the incorrigible wit.

"Your Honor need not be afraid for the decorum ol the court; for my illustration is strictly legal and historical. Sir Nicholas Bacon once presided at the trial of a man by the name of Hogg, for some hanging matter, and, upon his conviction, asked him what he had to say why sentence of death should not be pronounced upon him. The culprit who was an impuileut fellow, said ho didn't think his Honor ought to sentence him, for that they were akin. How do you make that out?" asked the Judge. Because your name is Bacon and my name is Hogg, and these two should belong to the same family." I beg your pardon," says the Judge hog has to be hung before it becomes bacon." conversp," argued the Solicitor, "when hog is hung it becomes bacon, and the chargo in the indictment is correct." The Judge stuffed his handkerchief in his mouth and after a while commanded his countenance long enough to give poor Al'Ca-leb the benefit of clergy, which in this instance means thirty-nine lashes, aud adjourned the court for dinner.

On tho occasion of settling some little pre Uminaries between the dinner bell and the gong, the Judge said, in a very grave way, that that was tho only joko he ever heard that was worth anything; but it was good for it convinced him of the correctness of a legal position. Harper's Magazine. Wo have a specimen of railroad literature that cannot be beat. The rule is a sale one, and very sure. The directors of road were in session.

Many, an important measure had been decided upon. The business was nearly completed when the superintendent rose and remarked that he intended issuing an important order immediately on his return. The road was a double track; and a short time prior to this there had been a very serious accident, caused by the eastward bound train jumping the track just as it met tho train bound west, running into it diagonally, and doing great damage to life and limb as well as tho property. To prevent like occurrences in the future, the siijK-rintendent proposed to issue to conductors and engineers the following rule Hereafter, when trains moving in an opposite direction are approaching each other, on the separate tracks, conductors and engineers will be required to Ving their respective trains to a dead halt before the point of meeting, and be very careful not to proceed till each train has passed the other." CsS" It is customary in some parts of the country, either upon railroads or steamboats, to exact only hair fare from ministers of the different Churches. One pleasant day Captain stood upon the upper deck ot his steamer, tolling the last bell previous to her departure, when he was accosted hv a serious-looking individual in the following terms Are you Captain I am.

Sir," said the Captain, with a turn of the head and a quizzical glance. "What is the regular faro to Louisville?" Two dollars ami a half." Well, Captain, I am a Methodist preacher. What will you charge me?" Apparently in a deep study for a moment, the Captain seemed to take the measure of our clerical friend, and replied, in his peculiar, decided tone, Well, I guess we shan't chartro vou a cent more than any body else." Satisfikd it Cannot be Done. A railroad engineer having been discharged, applied to be reinstated. "You were dismissed," said the superintendent austerely, "for letting your train come twice into collision." The very reason," said tho other party, interrupted him, "why I ask to be restored." "How ho?" "Why," sir if 1 had any doubt before, as to whether two trains can pass each other on the samo track, I am now entirely satisfied 1 have tried it twice sir, and it can't he done, and I am not likely to try it again." Ho regained his situation.

W. J. licCONSJEL. Some years ago a Cincinnati paper receir ed and printed the first chapter of what ap peared to be a most thrilling romance, in the expectation of beings provided with the concluding portions aa might be needed. The chapter was very ingeniously written, and concluded by leaving the principal char, acter suspended by the pantaloons from the limb of a tree over a perpendicular preci-piece.

It attracted the attention of the press, and inquiries began to be, made concerning the continuation or the fate of its hero. Day after day the victimized publish-; ers looked for the remaining cnapiers, dub in vain. They never come to hand. Fipd--ing that they bad been sold, and wishing to put a stop to the jokes their cotemporaries worft ei hp if ine ai incir exueuse, iuvv ly concluded the story thus: CHAPTER II CONCLUSION. After hangicg to the, treacherous tree for four weeks, his pantaloons gave way, and Charles Melville rolled headlong over the vawnincr precipice, He fell a distanco of five miles, and came down with the small of his back across a stake and rider fence, which so injured him that he wa9 compelled to travel in Italy tor his health, where he is at present residing, lie is engaged in the batching business, and is the lather ot a large iamny oi cnuuren tSf That a fine strain," said one gentleman to another, alluding to the tones of a sino-erat a concert the other evening.

"Yes" said a countrvman who sat near, if he strains much more he'll burst." A fellow was told at a tailor's shop that three yards of cloth, by being wet, would shrink one quarter of a yard "well, then," he inquired, "if you should wet a quarter of a yard, would there be any left?" fSF A story is told of a person asking another whether he would advise him to lend a certain friend of theirs money. "What, lend him money I You might give him an emetic and he wouldn't return it." tT A word of kindness is seldom 6poken in vain. It is a seed which, even when dropped by chance, springs up a flower. FARM AND GARDEN. From the Country Gentleman.

TRANSPLANTING SMALL TEEES. It has been a very general, almost universal desire, among tree-planters, to have large sized trees from the nursery. One person about to set out an orchard, wrote, "Send me man trees. I do nol want puny little children but largo full grown specimens." Another said, "I want the largest trees you have I don't care much what kind they are but give me tfill ones if a rod high, all the better." "But" the nurseryman replied, "smaller ones will be better in five years than these." "I don't care, I want big ones; 1 may not live five years, and I want fruit noic." Three or four years after the same planter called again. Without waiting for an enquiry, the nurseryman immediately remarked, "Well, I have some fine large trees, which I can furnish." "Don't want 'em don't want 'em was the answer.

"I've had enough of large trees they have cost mo ten times as much labor to set out as tho small ones I took from necessity. They have not grown one inch are just the same size I bought them, although I have doctored them and. nursed them, and thy have borne me only a very few of half-grown worthless fruit. Tne small trees have already outstripped them, aud they have begun to bear larere, excellent specimens." These experiments have now become so numerous, that a change in the opinion of planters has generally taken place, in relation to the size of trees. Where twelve feet were formerly demanded as a desirable height, five or six feet are now qnite as satisfactory, and some find still smaller ones to do better.

At a meeting of the Fruit Growers Society, of Western Now York, held at Rochester, a year ago, this subject was fullj discussed, and none who had ever tried the experiment with largo and small trees side by side, could be found, who preferred the former. Many instances were related, and in every case, without exception, (good culture being given,) the small trees soon outgrew the others, and were not only larger, but incomparably more vigorous and thrifty. Two year apple trees and one year peach trees were preferred by some of the best cultivators present to any of larger dimensions. And in addition to these advantages, the smaller trees are always sure to survivo transplanting, with scarcely a loss of one in a thousand while the extra largo ones, tho roots of which must be greatly mutilated in removal, die by Bcores. The labor of digging up the largo trees, the cost of transportation on them, and the cost of resetting them, are all several times greater than with smaller ones.

Where tney are to bo sent some distance by railroad, the increased cost of conveyance, as well as in risk and in packing, is greater than a hasty observer can have any idea of. A tree, for is twice the height and diameter of another, is greater in weight iu a cubic ratio. If a hundred of tho smaller weigh two hundred pounds, one hundred of the larger will weigh eight hundred pounds or nearly half a ton tho cube of two being eight. A singlo season's growth will often make this difference in the nursery but many yeais, after being check ed by removal when large. There seems, indeed, to bo every reason why trees should be removed small, and everything against the practice of leaving the work till they attain large size.

Sir Joshua Reynolds said, if he were to paint a picture of Folly, it would be by representing a boy climbing over a high wall with an open gate close at his side. Had he lived now, he might do it with equal effect, by representing a purchaser selecting large trees at a nursery, and rejecting the young thrifty ones. There is only one instance in which the larger trees can have any advantage, or can maintain it for two or three years and this is, where both large and small are treated with total neglect after setting out, so as barely to survive and net to grow at all. Both remaining stationary, the larger ones will of course maintain their superiority. But all good cultivators discard such treatment.

The practice of copying English customs, has in this case had an especially pernicious effect. In Britain, the moist climate favors the removal of larger trees than can be safely transplanted here. The experiments of Sir Henry Stewart, in Seotland, in manufacturing a park of trees to order, thirty or forty feet high, and the publication of a work giving the details of his experiment, havo done a great deal of harm. The park, after the first year or two, presented a very shabby, thriftless and stunjted appearance; but even while this practice was at the height of its popularity, that far-seeing and skillful oulturist, J. C.

Loudon asserted, that with five years' time, and with deeply trenched land, he would agree to produce a finer effect with small tree, subjected to the best treatment, than any that could possibly be accomplished by the removal of larger ones at the same time.

Most truly had Sam lost all Iim "pride, pomp and cireurastauee. 'Spec's I didn't hurt you much eh uttered Cato, with becoming gravity.

But it was too much for us. Poor Sam's look at the black conquerer upset the cup, and we burst. With a deep groan the vanquished man crawled over on the other side of tho boat and got out, and then made his way below. Half an hour afterwards he ed the ne'rro man from head to foot several times, and finally he placed his liana upon the arms that had lifted hinv so easily. He felt of their cable-like surface a moineutand then he said, in a sad tone, while he shook his head dubiously It's no use! You're a great nigger And that was the last of Sam Rannol's mischief.

II is pride of physical power was broken, for he had found his superior, and he settled down into a quiet, orderly seaman. I feared at first that he might seek some re venge upon Cato, but he wa.s too 'hie lor that. He knew that he had invited the at tack, and as soon a the tirat smart of pain had gone, he and Lis conquerer were lubt and linn 1'riends. Tho Husband Minding the House. Once on a time there was a man so surly and cross, he never thought his wife did anything right in tho house.

So, one evening in hay -making time, he came home, scolding and 'and showing his teeth and making a dust. Dear love, don't be so angry there's a good man," Faid his goody; "to-morrow let's change our work. I'll go out with tho mowers and mow, and you shall mind the house ut home." Ye! the husband thought that would do very well ho was quite willing ho said. So, early next morning, his goody took a scythe over her neck, and weuUout into the hay-lield with the mowers, and began to mow but the man was to mind tho house, and do the work at home. First, of all, he wanted to churn tho butter: but when he had churned a while, he got thursty, and went down to the cellar to taji a barrel of ale.

So, just when he had knocked in the bung, and was putting the taj into the cask, he heard overhead the pig come into the kitchen. Then off ho ran up the cellar steps with the tap in his hand, as fast as he could, to look after the pig lest it should upset tho churn; but when he got up, and saw the pig had already knocked the churn over, and stood there, ruling, and grunting amongst the cream, which was running all over the floor, ho got so wild with rage, that he quite forgot the ale and ran at the pig as hard as he could. He caught it, just as it run out of doors, and gave it such a kick, that piggy lay for dead on the spot. Ti en all at once remembered ho had tho tap in his hand but whm ho got down to the cellar, every drop of ale had run out of the cask. Then ho went into the dairy and found enough cream left to fill the churn and so he bogau to churn, for butter they must have at dinner.

When ho had churned a bit, he remembered that their milking cow was still shut up in ihe byro, and hadn'? had a bit to cat, or a drop to drink all the morning, through tho sum was high. Then all at, once he thought 'twas too far to take her down to the meadow, so he'd just get her on the house top tor tho house you most know, was thatched wiih sods, and a tine crop of grass was growing there. Now their house lay close up against a steep down, and he bought if he had laid a plank acn. to the thatch at the buck he easiiv get tin tow up. Hut still he couldn't leave the churn tor there was li little babe crawling about on the floor, "and if I leave it," he thought, ''the child is sure to upset it." So he took the churn on hi and went out wiih it but then he thought he'd beller titi water the cow before he turned her out on tin- i i i.

Now il was near dinner time, and he hadn't ev. got the butler yet; he thougt he'd I'obl boil the porridge, and tilled thepor with water, and hung it over the the.

When he had done that, he thought the cow might per haps tall off the thatch and break her'legs or neck. So he got on the house to tie her up. One end of tho rope he made fast to the cow's neck, and the other he slipped down the chimney and tied round his own thigh; and he had to make haste, for the water now began to boil in the pot, and ho had still to grind the oatmeal. So he began to grind away; but while he was hard at it, down fell the cow off the house top after all, and us she fell, she dra gcd the man up the chimney by the There he stuck fast; and as for the cow, she hung halfway down the wall, swinging be tween heaven and earth, for sheu-ould neither get down nor up. And now tho- goody had Waited seven lengths and seven breadths for her husband to come and call her homo to dinner; but never a call they had.

At last she thought she'd waited long enough, and went) home. But when she got there and saw the cow hang-ing in such an ugly place, she' ran up and cut the rope in two with her scythe. But as she did this down came her husband out of the chimney; and so when his old dame came inside the kitchen, there she found him standing on his head in the porridge pot. Sorte Tales. OiST Profound silence in a public assemblage has been thus neatly described "One might havo heard the stealing 0f a pocket handkerchief." fciy-The Admiral of Castile said that he who marries a wife, and he who goes to war must necessarily submit to everything that may happen.

allien been made the but of prac jokes such as sudden drenching of cold sea-water while he slept, and other things equally unpleasant yet ho always paid his tormentors off with interest. lie was, in fact, the worst practical joker I ever saw, and not a whit did ho so long as hoiexhibted his hor cuU'un strength and broke no bnes. When my ship arrived at Mobile, on the return voyage, another cargo of ttou was road' for me, and I was ordered to load and bo ott' as quick a possible. Hut no sooner was the ship cleared, than my men all but San Rannot came and informed ine that thy could not go with mo ayain unless Sam was discharged. I was not prepared for this.

At heavy work Sam was worth any three other men on board, aud always willing and ready! TeTf know how the crew tsu tiered from his thoughtless pranks, and 1 could not blame them. I told the men to come to me on the following day, and I would givo them an audience. At tir-a I thought of promising them that I would ee that the old sea-dog did not annoy them an)- more, but I soon convinced mvself that that would bo of no use, Sam would cut up his capers when 1 could not sev him, and the men would not report him every time he hurt them. Hut soon a new idea" entered my head. I had a brother, who owned cotton plantation on the Chickasaw.

His placo was not over tilieen miles from Mobile, and ho had just the man 1 wanted or, he did have when I saw him lust. So out to my brother's I rode that very night, and tho first person I met near tho house, was tho very man I wanted. It was Cat), a negro about thirty years of age. and built after the fashion of a Devon bull. I knew tho boy had the reputation of being the strongest persou in the Slate, and I think ho was not over five feet ten inches tall; and though he was built thick and strong, yet he did not show half of his muscular power when covered with his usual clothing.

His big arms were like iron, and, his breast and shoulders liko a great bucdle of wire done uj in raw ox-hide. I bantered my brother to let mo have Cato for ono or two voyages. "Take him in welcome, said ho. "He's gotting too important hero." What is he ugly I asked. no; just the other way.

He's tot; good ii a lured altogether. Ho sets tho very sancho into the other boys. I've made too much of him." Hut will ho work "Yes." So 1 got Cato for twelve dollars a month a9 long as I wanted him, with tho privilege of having him for ono cruise only for nothing. Hut I took him "for better or for worse," and agreed to pay tor his services. On the next day I went on board the ship, and when the men came to me for my answer, I asked them if they would sail with Sam if I would produce a quiet, inoffensive man who could handle him, and take said man to sea with me.

They said they would. 1 knew they would they would have gone witii mo for nothing, for tho sake of seeing Sam conquered. I told them he should be, and enjoined them to secrecy, which they promised. When Cato learned that he was going to sea with me, ho was beside himself with joy, and wlien I came to tell him what I wanted of hi'nt he laughed till the tears rolled dow bis great black cheeks. On the very day of sailing I brought Cato on board.

At -riiot tho men exhibited some sins of dislike, but when they found wnal a jolh good-hearted old fellow ho was, they gave him their hands. Sam Rannot winked prodigiously when he saw the now man, and more than once he whispered to those near him "There 11 be lun afore long On the third day out we had got everything snug and trim, save clearing and covering iHe long-boat, and now tho crew could find ttuye to snooze by da light. It was in the afternoon, tho wind was from southward and westward, nnd we had it upon the larboard beam, tho ship bowling along at the rate ot about six knots. Cato sat upon the combines of the main hatch, and Sam was slowly approaching him, not very unlike as a dog sometimes approaches a smaller animal which it never before saw. "Say, blacky, git up," ordered Sam, with a grin, at the samo timo looking around to if tho rest of the crew were ready to en-juy the sport.

A-pah pah wouldn'l make a poor fellow h'ist now, eh Yes, git up." Don't." I say git up!" 'W ha' for?" Fun." Now you jes' lock heah, Sam; you s'pose you fool wid dis chile, eh If you do, it's all right Hut I s'pecs you'll git hurt, and den you'll git mad, eh This was spoken with tho most impertur- nie gravity, anu mo negro slowly aroso while he spoke, looking as demure as a child. "Who'll git hurt?" asked Sam, with a flourish. I s'pec's you." How Foolin' wid me." "Now you jest set rite down on them com'h's agin," uttered Sam, at the same lime laying both his hands on Cato's shoulders. The negro's brown eyes sparkled, and a broad "Tin broke over his face as ho felt Sam's hands upon him: but without speak ing placed one of his huge black paws upon the joker's jacket collar, and with the other he Neized him by the sat of the trowsers. fir 'VI VMS.
