" He had gone ashore with Capt. Hutch
inson, and was left in command of the gig.
While the commander was absent, two of
the men in the mid.'hipman's charge re
quested permission to make some irifling
purchase. The good naturcd oll'icer as
sented, adding By the way, you may as
well htiy me some apples and a few pears.
'All right, sir,' said tho men; and they
departed. Thoeaptnin presently returned,
and still the seamen were away on their
errand. They were searched for, but tkey
could not be found. Tkey had deserted.
Any naval reader whoe eyes may wander
over this page will readily imagine lliedis
grace into which Midshipman lioughis Jer
rold fell with his captain. I'pon the young
delinquent tho event made a lasting im
pression, ho talk 'd about it hith that cu
rious excitement which lit up his face
when he spoke of anything ho had felt.
He remembered even the features of the
two deserters; as he had, most unexpect
edly, an opportunity of proving. The
midshipman had long p it his dirk aido,
ami washed the salt from his b'nvc face.
He had become a fighter with a keener
weapou than his dirk ever proved, when,
one day strolling eastward, possibly fiv in
(lie otlice of his own newspaper to the
printing pren'es of Messrs. lira I bury and
Kvans, in V hitefriars, he was sudden.,
struck w ith the face and form of a bakr,
who, with his loud of krrad at his hack,
was examining some object in the window
of the surgical instrument maker, who
puzzled so many inquisitive passers by,
near the entrance to King's College.
There was no mistake. Even the dour
dredge could not hide tho fact. The ex
midshipman walked nia.bly to the baker's
side, and rapping hiin sharply upon tho
back, said 'I say, my friend, don't you
think you've been rather a long time about
that fruit ?' The deserter's jaw fell. Thir
ty years had not calmed the unquiet sug
fteslimiH ol his conscience. He remem
bered the fruit and tho little middy, for
ho said 'Lor! is I hut you sir?' The mid
shipni.tn went on his way laughing."

DOrcLAS JERKOLD FRAUUENTH OF IMS T.UII.F.
TALK.
"A dinner is discussed. l)ouglas Jer
rold listens quietly, possibly tired of din
ners and declining pressing invitations to
be present. In a few minutes he will chime

nccount of a stupid practical joke, con
cluding with the information that the ef
fect of the jnko was so potent, 'he really
thought be should havo died with laugh
ter.' Jerrold. 'I wish to heaven you had.'
The 'Chain of Events,' playing at the Ly
ceum Theatre, is mentioned. 'Humph,'
says Douglas Jerrold, ' I'niafraid the mali
nger will find it a door -chain strong enough
to keep everybody out of his house.'
Then some somewhat lack-adaisical young
members drop in. They onino that the
i chilli not sulliciently west; they hit at
I something near Pall Mall, and a little
more style. Douglas Jerrold rebukes them.
'No, no, gentlemen ; not near Pall Mull ;
'we might catch coronets.' Another of
these young gentlemen, who has recently
emerged from the humblest fortune and
position, and exulting in the social consid
eration of his new elevation, puts aside his
antecedents. Having met Douglas Jerrold
in the morning while on horseback, he
ostentatiously says to him, 'Well, you see
I'm all right at hist 1' 'Yes,' is the reply,
'I see you now ride, upon your cat's meat.
The conversation turns upon the fastidi
ousness of the times. 'Why,' says a mem
ber, 'they'll soon say marriage is improper.'
'No, no,' replied Douglas Jerrold 'they'll
always consider marriage good breeding.'
A stormy discussion ensues, during which
a gentleman rises to settle the matter in
dispute. Waving his hands majestically
over tho excited disputants, ho begi.is :
'tieiitlemen, all I want is common sense
' 'Kxuclly,' Douglas Jerrold inter
rupts ; 'that is precisely what you (i'u want.'
The discussion is lost in a burst of laugh

Doings in British India.
Tho despatches und letters from British
India which, not long (since, were so eag
erly read, here and abroad, seem to have
lost entirely their former charm. Tho con
stant repetition of the incidents of a strag
gling campain w ith its everlasting defeats,
inarches, louts and victories, proved too
much for tho putieiice of the reading pub
lic, andbO they dismissed the subject from
their minds. Not to the British letter
writers, who still furnish their six long,
broad columns apiece, at every arrival of
the mail to their respective journals.
Tho Times correspondence contains a
description of tho massacre which occur
red on tho 24th of December, in the Doab.
The rebels, we nre told, finding their re
treat likely to be cutntrtledin the utmost
disorder, and 4,"i(.l of them were slain,
while the remainder betook themselves

together, it is supposed that this success
completes the subjugation of Southern
Oudo, which probably ninns only, that no
more resistance en iikmc will bo offered
there. In northern Oudo matters stand
as follows: The army there, which is said
to be strong in artillery, is commanded by
the Begum, the (Juccii of Oudo. They
hold in my forts, of which the strongest is
Bareitch. Sir 11. Grant had been ordered
to assault the latter, ami had crossed th j
Oogra for that purpose. It is confidently
expected that after thefall of Bareitch the
Begum's corps will no longer venture upon
resistance in open battle, that they will
disperse, and that so tho rebellion will
have wholly disappeared from Oudo. Yet,
it may be, nnd is very probable even, that
the dispersed army, scouring the country
in small bauds, will necessitate tho con stant,
active aid of the army to carry on
what government there is possible inOtide.
Tho disorganization of the rebel corps
is thus nearly complete, but it was less the
work of the British arms than bribery.
Every service rendered by distinguished
natives to tho British army, every net of
treason against their country, was bril
liantly rewarded. A citizen of Arnth w ho,
at the rising in August, lMf7, rendered
some assistance (o the British troops has

A BOY'S TRIALS.
The Springfield licjnddicun has a cupital
article on this suljeot. Hero aro some
extracts :
ins relations with the "oi.n man."
Wo suppose that tho first severe trial a
boy has to undergo, is to submit his will
to tho "old man." whom he is taught to
consider his father. To be restrained in
doors at night, to be forbidden to go in
swimming five times u day, or to bo bin
died from pinching tho rest of the child
ren just f,,r fun, is nn interference with
natural inalienable rights, every way inju
rious to tho feelings. And then, when
upon some overwhelming temptation, tho
buy asserts his independence of parental
control, and receives a "tanning" with n
switch from a quince bush, either upon
his hack or hi bare feet it becomes really
a very serious thing. We never could see
that the smart of an opeiation like this
was at till usstiagcd by the ull'ectionate as
suranco that it was bestowed out of pure
love.
sitting m ith the ciris.
The next great trial of the boy is to be
obliged by a eiuel master to sit w ith the
girls at school. This usually comes before
the develnpemeiit of those undeniable af
finities which, in after life, would tend to
make the punishment more endurable
To b 'pointed out as 'gal boy," to be
smiled at grimly by the muster, who is so
far delighted w ith his own ineti'ablo pleas
antry as to give tho little boys licence to
laugh nloud, and to bo placed by the side
o a girl that bus no hankerchief, and no
knowledge of tho use of that article, we
submit, is a trial ot no mean magnitude.
Yet we have been obliged to "sit up close"
with big Rachel, laughing and blushing
till we came to hato her name. We won
der where tho overgrown frowzy creature
is now, and what the condition of her
head is ?
THE FIRST LON'ti-TAlI.ED ( OAT.
We do not believe that any boy ever
put on his long-tailed coat without a
sense of shame, lie first twists his back
half ofl looking at it in the glass, aud then
when he steps out of doors it seems to him
ns if all creation was in a broad g''in. The
sun laughs in tho sky ; the cows turn to
look at him ; there are faces at every win
dow ; his shadow mocks him. When he
walks by the cottage where Jane lives, he
dares not look up for his life. Tho very
boards creak with conciousness of the
strange spectacle, and the old pair of pan
taloons that stop a light in the garret win
dow, nod with deiioion. If he is obliged
to pass a group of men aiid boys, the trial
assumes a most terrific stage. His legs get
all mixed up with embarrassment, und
tho Hap of tho dangling appendage is felt
upon them, moved by the wind ol his own
agitation ; ho could not feel worse were 't
a budge of disgrace. It is a happy timo
for him when he gels to church and sits
down with his coat-t tils under him; but
he is still apprehensive with thinking of
tho Sunday school, and wonders if any of
the children will , ask inni 10 "swing Lis
long-tailed blue."

to take pluco after boyhood has passed a
way, yet a multitude takejthe initiative
before t heir beards are presentable. It is
a gtcnt trial either to a tender or a tough
age. For an overgrown boy to go to a
door, knowing that there are a dozen girls
inside, and to knock or ring with absolute
certainty that in two 'minutes all their
eyes will be upon him, is a severe test of
courage. To go before these girls and
make a satisfactory tourol the room with
out stopping on their toes, nnd then sit
down und dispose of one's hands without
putting them into one's pocket's, is an a
chievenient which few boys can boast.
If a boy can get so far Jus to measure oil
ten yards of tape w ith one of these girls,
and eut it short at each end, he may stnnd
a chanco to pass a pleasant 'evening, but
let him not flatter himself that all I lie
trials of tho evening are over. There
comes at last the hi caking up. The dear
girls don their hoods, and put on their
shawls and look saucy and niisehevious,
and impressiblo, as if they did not wish
any one to go homo them. Then comes
tho pinch, and tho boy who has tho most
pluck makes up to the piettiest girl, his
heart in hisliroat, and his tunguo clinging
to tho roof of his mouuth, and crooking
his cIImjw, Mainmers out of tho words,
"Shall 1 see you home ?" Slio touches her
fingers to his arm and they walk home a
bout a iJoot apart, feeling as couple of
young goslings. As soon as sho is safely
inside her door he struts home, and thinks
bo has really been und gone and done it.
Sleep comes to lu in at lust, with dreams of
crinoline nnd calico, and he awakes in the
morning Hnd finds the doors of life open
to lain and the pigs squealing for break
fast. A Little Girl, only ten year old, was
"topping nt the MeCluro House yesterday,
(snya the Wheeling, Va. 1'iines.) who is

Lizzy Kelly, hnd her parents live at Orceii

and tiresome road from (ir 'on I'.ny here,
this little lady Iirs traveled bv herself,1
I stopping w hen sho chooses, pnying her

manner, with an easy grace, and
self-possession that won the admiration of

ture.
Wc find the following in the reports of
tho proceedings of the Missouri Legisla
ture on Friday last, it will at once occur
to the reader of Mr. Pitt's speech, that he
is, ns his name would imply, a veritable)
descendant-of Lord Chatham. His chief
resemblance to that distinguished orator
is said to consist in the possession1 of
two legs, nnd a head with a nose on it.

Kesolved, That the Speaker be author !

Mr. Abncy I move to lay that reeolu

Mr. Pttt Mr. Speaker, this house pfW
ped resolutions, sir, to celebrate, in an up
tiropriate manuer tlio 8th of January.
I bis is a resolution simply asking that no
tice be given to the public ot that day,'
We have declared an intention, and now,
when v e come to publish it, some gentle
man is suddenly seized with the "retrench
ment gripes," and squirms around like
long re.i worm on a pin hook. Laugh
ter (jeuihimon keep continually talking
about economy. 1 myself do not believfl
in tying tho public purse with cob-web
strings, but when retrenchment comes in
contact with patriotism it assumes the
form of "smallness." Such economy is
like that of old Skinflint, who had a pair
nf boots made for his little boy, without
soles, that they might last the longer
ILiiugter.J 1 reverence "the day we celo
brute.". It is fraught with reminiscences
the most stirring; it brings to mind ono
of the grandest events ever recorded in
letters of living fire upon the walls of the
temple of fame by tho strong right arm of
the god of war 1 On such occasions we
should rise above party lines and politic
cal distinctions. I never fought under
the banner of Old Hickory, but "by the
eternal" 1 wish I had. Laughter and
npp.J If the old w ar horso was here now,
he would not know his own children from
tho side of Joseph's coat of many colon
Whigs, Know-Nothings, Democrats, hard,
soft-boiled, scrambled nnd fried, LincoU
nites, Douglasitcs, and blutherskitesl I
belong to no party : I am free, unbridled,
unsaddled, in the political pasture. Like
a lob-tailed bull in fly time.charge around
in the high gross and light my own flies,
Great laughter. Gentlemen let us show
our liberality on patriotic occasions. Why,
some men have no more pi triotisra than
thnt you could stuil in the eye of a knit
ting needle. Let us not squeeze five cents
till the eagle on it squeals like a locomo
tive or an old maid. Let us print the Iritis'
a-d inform the co untry that we as full of
patriotism as nre Illinois swamps of tad
polos. Liughter. I don't bolieve in do
ing things by halves. Permit me, Mr.
Speaker, to make a poetical quotation
from one of our noblo t authors :
"1 love to see tho grass among the red May roses,
I lovo to soe an old gray horse, for when be go

Tho Lowell (Mass.) Newt relates the fol
lowing circumstance, connected with thff
marriage of Miss AnnaT. Wilber, an ac
complished New England authoress, with,
a substantial farmer:
"Miss Anna T. Wilber, of NewburypOrt,
by her contributions to periodicals, at
traacted the attention of nn educated
farmer in Ohio, w ho opened a correspond
denco with her. At length they agreed
to meet at a half-way point, and if their
impressions on seeing each other for tht
first time, were not agreeable, thoy would
separate again ; if otherwise, why we'll
let her tell tho story herslf.
I need not tell how an Ohio farmer first
had 1 is attention at tracted to an occasion'
nl contributor o tho Easlern periodicals,
or what motives first prompted him toad
dress a note of interrogation to said writer
to bo followed by mutual questions and
replies, till tho parties became desirous of
meeting, met, and were mirriod. The
annals of romance narrate few briefer
courtships, and I msy say few moro sonsi-
bio ones.
No meetings by moonlight alone; nt
frowns of opposing relatives ; nojealousies
of rivals or lover's quarrels, rant the day
dieains of youth by tho world around
termed old bachelor and old maid wa bad
not yet relinquished our faith in human
goodness, or lost tho fervcr of feeling,
which intercourse with the world ;too of
ten chills. So having fully made up our
minds that wo were congonial, and ;ought
to love enoh other, we met and did love
each other. The experience of three year
of married lifo has satisfied us that the ma
jority of mankind are in the wrong ami
wo in tho right. I mean to say that we
should loam to lovo mentally and morally
first and personally afterwards."
A Pfofitaiile Boarder. Tho St. TatlT
Minnesotian says there is a lady now rosf

two years, has livod entirely without eat

mother of thrco children, and enjoys mo
derate health. She has tho use of all her
faculties, is not emaciated, but apparent
ly robust, nnd yet she does not take into
1 er stomach a particle of food of any del'
criptiou, save a cup of cofJee, which she
drinks three times a day ; this, her only
subsistence, she sips slowly, usually occu
pying the acenstotm d time at the table.
