THE LOTS UPON THE RAFT.
Soave years ago 1 happened to be wind
bound in the port of L—. A furious
westerly gale had set in at the full moon,
and raged with a violence which can be
appreciated only I , z those ' who go down
to the sea in ships, and behold the won
ders of the deep.'
Right heartily did our hardy crew enjo
the shelter of that quaint old haven ;
grouped aiound their cheerful, cosy fore
castle, the caboose giving forth a merry,
h . omely, social blaze, they yarned away of
by-gone dangers and hair-breadth escapes,
which caused the older seamen to shake
their heads in grave attestation of the
narrator's truth; and the green boys to
listen with open-mouthed wonder, thinking,
and perchance hoping, that the day might
come when they too should be enabled to
relate similar wonders of maritime adven
ture.
The great hurricane whi :tied wildly
through the rigging ; great sheets of surge,
beaten into foam-froth over the rough
breastwork of rocks under whose shelter
we lay, were whirled aloft through ,the
spars, showing ugainst the black scud that
careered above, like clouds of snow-drift
flying through the pines on a dark moun
tain side.
From boyhood I have been a lover of
Nature, in calm and in storm, in smiling
peacefulness and dire wrath ; by land and
by sea have 1 studied her beauties; but
of all the scenes I love to dwell upon is
that of the sea when lashed into fury by
the roaring tempest.
Such a scene had I now before me; in
the bottom, or rather, as a sailor would
call it, the ' bight' of a deep bay, lay the
little haven of L—, securely sheltered
by a massive breakwater. of granite rock ;
on the right, as you looked seaward, the
margin was defined by rugged precipices
and outlying - cliffs, whilst the left hand
side was bounded by a chain of lofty
mountains; obliquely up this bay was now
raging a south-westerly gale, hurling the
giant waves of the broad Atlantic into
confused masses of foaming broken water ;
ever and anon tremendous squalls would
sweep down the hill sides with resistless
force, marking their paths by dense masses
of smoke-like mist torn from the mighty
Barges that rolled along in solemn. grlan
deur, until broken by crag and cliff and
solid rock wall, they roared a dull great
roar of impotent rage, as though they
would shake earth's foundations, and open
a passage to the ravening waters. Turn
ing from the fierce battle of the elements
that raged without, the peaceful security
of the well-sheltered little harbor, our own
good little ship looking so neat and trim,
as hugging herself in the enjoyment of
such good quarters, the merry voices and
jocund laugh that occasionally resounded
from her decks, formed such a picture of
war and peace, that being lost in silent
contemplation, I was not aware of a com
panion until a light touch upon the arm,
and the gruff tones of our tough old pilot,
Murtagh Moriarty, smote upon my ear.
Hardy weather, hardy weather, yer
honor,' exclaimed Murtagh, ducking his
head as he spoke to avoid a sheet of foam
that arched over the rocky parapet.
Ay, ay, pilot ; for the poor fellows
outside, it's rough and wild work indeed !'
Troth, id just is what yer honor says—
wicked, wild, cruel work ; an' shure id
makes one's heart bleed for thins poor
coasthers that's sint io say in Bich wild
winthery weather, an' wid vessels ill-found,
wid ropes as ould and as rotten as hay
bands ; short manned, the way they may
bring long profits to their naygur-hearted
owners ; ay, in troth, yer honor, many is
the brave-hearted stout sayman that has
to give in whin human nathur couldn't
stand agin hardships that id break a frame
of iron ; an', oh Lord a mercy, sir, dear !
isn't id cruel wringin' to a strong man's
sperit, when he finds himself in the pride
of his priose,'an' health an' sthringth,
sowld maybe to save a few fathoms uv
rope or a few feet uv new plank , an'
hurryin' on in the broad light uv day agin
the tall cliffs that stan' up like a tombstone
forninst him, wid his white shroud bilin'
up an' roariu' all round him!'
ho? a sail, Misthur Moriarty ! A
sail, Murtagh jewel !' exclaimed two cr
three fishermen who had joined us.
We peered anxiously to seaward; and iu
the intervals of the drift and mist, just
under the lofty cliffs, and almost within
the broad belt of snowy breakers that
foamed at their base, was a gallant ship
under close-reefed topsails and courses,
staggering under the pressuie of the
latter, as if carried on with a reckless
desperation akin to despair, in order to
extricate her from the fearful position into
which over confidence or the thick haze of
rain and surge had betrayed her.
'God be merciful ! But by the living—'
Whatever else the old pilot would have
said died upon his lips; a mighty wall
of waters came rolling down upon the
hapless bark just as she was about to
clear the greatest danger ; for a moment
she wavered on her course, as though her
helmsman was paralyzed at the appalling
peril ; it was, however, for a moment only ;
again she lay over to the hurricane squall,
until all her broad deoks were visible ;
there was a great sheet of hissing surge
boiling out from under her lee bow, which
showed the tremendous velocity with which
her desperate crow were forcing her
through the broken water ; gallantly,
coolly, and with stern resolve she was
held on that fearful course, as if gathering
up her speea and her strength for the last
great struggle to escape destruction.—
Already was the towering mass upon her,
another moment and .she would be rolled
broadside on into that seething
caldron, a mass of riven planks and tim
bers, the chaos of despair, of death! We
held our breath in torturing anticipa
tion of what was to follow; already the
cry of the strong swimmers in their agony
seemed resounding in our ears ; no mortal
hand could help, no human aid could mach
them. Suddenly her helm was put down ;
as she came up in the wind the thunder of
her shivering canvas sounded like the
knell of doom; she lifted buoyantly to
the giant sea, rose upon its advancing
°test, as if with the last great effort of
exhausted strength, burst through the
curling ridge of white foam, and, falling
off on the other tack, disappeared from
our fevered gaze in a column of spray
smoke, and rain-mist.
Bravely done ! Bravely and well done!'
shouted Gild Moriarty, in intense excite
ment. 'Ay—ay—by my sowl, the child
that sailsno chicken! He knows
every sthick in her timber, too, or he'd
never thry such a divil's thrick as that
wid her. if a rope yarn failed him, his
sperit id be on the road to glory now. The
Lord be praised for his marcy in span&
them 1 Ids down on their knees they
ought to be this blessed minit
Th'er no sthrangers here any how,
Murtagh !'
Thrue for you, Billy Duncan, alanna,
ay, indeed, the'er not ; here she comes
now, squared away afore the wind • but
my old eyes are so mildewed wid the say
dhrift, that 1 can't make out what she is
at.all !'
hisht, boys, whisht ! Spake aisy,
can't you 1 Ye'll know what she is now.
Don't ye see who's comin' along the pier 1'
All eyes were turned from the rapidly
approaching vessel, in the direction indi
cated by the speaker. A tall and stately
looking female was striding along the
rugged causeway, heedless alike of the
furious tempest or the pitiless peltings of
rain and spray. She was clothed in gar
ments of rusty black, which barely suf
ficed to cover her poor weak frame, much
less to protect her from the inclemency of
the elements. In the hard-drawn lines of
her aged care worn features, could be
traced the vestiges of early and wondrous
beauty—the wreck of one of earth's fairest
flowers. A look of patient suffering
strangely contrasted with the expression
of her bright dark eyes, from which a
baneful, almost ferocious, fire gleamed fit
fully. Her hands were clasped with fever
ish energy, as if in earnest, ceaseless
supplication ; her gaze wandered not ; 'it
was fixed upon the approaching ship. She
moved through pointed rocks, and across
yawning chasms, like a being of another
world. Ever and anon her bpi moved, as
if in prayer, yet she spoke to none, nor
seemed to be aware of the presence of a
human being. The moment she gained
the lighthouse platform she knelt at its!
margin, lonely, sad, and wierd looking,
swaying her body backwards and forwards,
her hands raised in prayer. Her voice
now rose in incoherent murmurings, and
anon died away ; but the same - intensely
vengeful light gleamed ever from her eyes.
Letty Blair, God help her exclaimed
old Murtagh. If I was Black Will
Gardiner, I'd sooner my bones were wash

welkin as this afther every vrige P
" THAT COUNTRY IS TEM MOST PROEIPTMOUS MIMI LABOR 00XIKANDB TEI GIUKATIST BZWARD,„"
LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 7, 1860.
For Heaven's sake, Martagh ! what is
tbe meaning of all this 3 Surely the poor
creature must be mad ; she will die from
such exposure. Let us remove her to
shelter and warmth.'
Hist, yer honor, hist ! its poor Letty
Blair. She's goin' to curse Black Will
Gardner, the skipper of the Gipsy Bride.'
Meanwhile, the vessel which had caused
all the excitement had drawn nigh, and
her bowsprit now appeared as she rounded
the pier end, in such close proximity that a
man might have stepped on to her bulwarks.
Usually, when a vessel returns to, her port
after a voyage, there are those at hand to
give the tempest-tossed mariners a cheery
welcome home. Some few stragglers had
joined us, but, save an odd cry of recogni
tion, her dripping and startled-looking
crew . were grouped forward in sullen
silence , no joyous outburst welcomed the
wanderers of the deep ; no triumphant
cheer acknowledged the gallant battle for
life that had been fought and won. No ;
a de4p and ominous gloom appeared to
hang over the ship and her crew. At
this moment the appearance and move
ments of the captain of the Gipsy Bride
arrested my attention. Be was a man in
the prime of life, of colossal, powerful
and athletic frame, but withal of a stern,
gloomy, and forbidding aspect; and if ever
the face of man gave index of the mind,
his might be read without envy. His
swarthy features were convulsed in a man
ner fearful to behold ; hatred, rage, fear,
despair, all the evil passions which crime
entails upon its followers, reigned in turn;
the veins upon his forehead stood out like
knotted rope yarns ; his powerful grasp
clutch:A at everything within reach as
though he fevered to grapple with a dead
ly foe. The struggle for mastery over his
feeling was terrible. The short quick
walk along the quarter deck ceased the
moment he caught sight of that kneeling
woman. He stood glaring like some
ferocious beast about to spring upon his
prey. A howl of torture—the pent-up
cry of racking mental agony—burst from .
his lips. It increased into a half-shriek,
half-roar. His hand shook like a man's
with ague, as, pointing to the form which
bent over him from the rocky platform,
like that of an avenging angel, with a
burst of fearful imprecations, he thundered
forth :
Eternal fires ! will no one strike that
old hag from my sight!'
It was a solemn sight, accompanied by
fearful sounds ! That ship and her crew
just gliding into the safe and sheltered
haven, escaped as by a marvel of Provi
dence from a horrible death, and instead
of voices upraised in glad thanksgiving
for mercy vouchsafed, to hear that awful
shout of ribald blasphemy rising high
above the roaring of the sea and the howl
ing of the wind ! And then that weird
looking kneeling woman, wrapped in her
graveyard garments of woe, muttering
forth incoherent ejaculations, in which
invocations of Heaven's wrath were
strangely mingled with supplications for
mercy ! The visitation that destroyeth
the body and the soul was prayed for in
the same breath as the exemption of the
innocent from the doom of the guilty !
By the night or by the day, in the calm or
in the storm, by the sea, sleeping or wak
ing, in health or in sickness, that the
worm which dieth not, and the fire which
is never quenched,' might prey upon the
spirit, blast the hope, wither the strong
frame, and dry up the life's blood of
William Gardiner—the outcast of God
and man !
The close of that eventful day saw the
storm unabated, the good ship the Gipsy
Bride safely moored, her captain bestowed
wherever his evil spirit could best find
a resting-place ; the mysterious visitant
of the pier, I trust, where her broken heart
and fevered mind were lulled into forget
fulness of the terrible past, and myself
awaiting the pilot and his promised yarn ;
at length, having satisfied his craving for
a pipe of. Maryland, he made his appear
ance aft.
Pm thinking yer honor is aiger to
hear the story of poor Letty Lorimer V
'Perhaps, Murtagh, your memory, like
an old hat, would be refreshed by damp
ing!' handing him as I spoke a stiff com
pound of Admiral Vernon's favorite
mixture.
Ough-an !' coughed the old pilot, mak
ing,the cabin to resound again, ' bedad,
its curious yer honor, that two of uz should
be thinking the same thing!'
Now, then, pilot !' I exclaimed,' to de
velope this mystery that has puzzled me
all day.'
Ay, yer honor. It's now many a long
year since_ old Clement Lorimer was a big
man, an' a sthrong ship-owner in this same
port of L—. lie owned ships that wint
to a great many places beyant the say, an'
his word was as good as another man's
bond. Well, Clement had a daughter, the
poor, wake craythur yer honor seen to-day,
and och ! waary me ! ids meself that re
mimbers poor Letty Lorimer, the purtiest
Culleen Dhas that ever tossed a spidther's
wed from the grass-brake on a May morn
in', an' becoorso all the gay young chaps
about these parts used to be cocking their
caubeens at her, but Letty id have none
of 'em ; she was grand-like in her idayies,
an' was given to readin' about great men
that wint across the says, an' med great
fortins. Well, there were two apprentices
sent to ould Clement—the sons of mar
°hints he used to have dalins-wid—one was
a fine, dashin' young Sootchman, none uv
yer hard-lined, skin-the-cat sort of chaps,
but a great, big-hearted, jovial chap ; och !
shure, they said he was discinded from the
great King Robert the Bruce ; anyhow,
no matther who was at the beginning of
him, he was a rale fine, handsome, slashin'
sailor, an' no two ways about him; tother
fdllow, they said, was a side-wind from
Spain, but he'd an English name at all
events, an' was a great big-limbed, dark
lookin' customer—morose and self-given
like—nobody fancied him ; but bonny
Donald was in everybody's mouth, an' the
way he'd dance the reel of Tullogorun, an'
sing the Laird of Co'pen, bedad iy id bring
the tears into yer eyes wid fair delight.—
William Gardiner was ould Lorimer's fa
vorite, at all - events ; whether his people.
had more money nor Donald's nobody
knew rightly, but people said that Letty
was to be married to him whin he was out
uv his time. There's always two voiods
to a bargain, and although Letty wasn't
much consulted at first, bedad she was
daytermined she'd have her own way ; so
the very day Donald Blair was out uv his
time the two uv them sets off an' gets
married hard an' fast, an' maybe there
wasn't the divil'e own rookaun about it
however, Clement, sinsible-like, med the
best nv the bargain his daughter had got,
an' had them home an' dayeently mar
ried, an' a powerful jollification there was ;
everybody got dhrunk uv worse, for Don
ald was such a favorite that nobody envied
him but one, that one was was Will Gard
iner, next or near the weddin' kern, but
was black and sulky as a chained bear.—
I'm told 'twas dhreadful to hear the oaths
he swore about the revenge he'd take on
Donald Blair.
Clement Lorimer, to make up wid him
like, gev him the command uv one uv his
best ships, an' to show that there was no
ill will betwixt nor between them, he sent
Donald Blair out as chief mate ; she was
as fine a barque as ever yer honor clapped
eyes, oh ! a rale beauty, called the Carlo
Zeno ; that was a woful viy'ge, for Donald,
poor, light-hearted, gay, Donald Blair, he
never kem back; he was logged as washed
overboord in a squall off the Great Piton
Rocks, near the island of Saint Lucia ;
there was whisperin g s of foul play, but Will
Gardiner challenged them all, an' as the
log was found all square, an' the crew
spoke up, why,there the thing ended.
Not wid poor Letty though; the poor
crathur ! she never lifted her head from
that day ; an' the poor mild masther, too,
wid all Donald's wild ways was fond uv
him, for who wouldn't; the poor lad was
as honest an' open-hearted as the light uv
day, only fond uv his joke, an' his diver
shun, small blame to him, ; id's a sorry
cowl that goes through the world without
rubbing a few bright spots in id.
4 In the course of time the widow Blair
became a mother, an' if ever the dead
came to life again the father did in that
boy, only he had the mother's beauty an'
all her winnin' ways to the back of all
poor Donald's dash an' bravery ; he grew
fast, an' ould Clement began to regard
him as the apple uv his eye, couldn't bear
him out uv his sight for a minit •'
but the
dark times wor at hand, things began to
go cross wid the poor ould masther—first
one ship was wrecked, thin another, until,
at last, the only one he had left was the
Carlo Zeno.
Well, the time kern when something
must be done wid young Donald—he'd no
longer his grandfather to look to, so bedad
the heritage uv his poor drowned father
was bestowed upon him—and he was sint
to sarve his time wid Will Gardiner ; oh!
but tbat was a sorry partin', for Clement
Lorimer had parted wid his last ship to him,
an' in sending his darlin' grandson wid
him id seemed like a last hope that he'd
bring back the fortin that was gone.
Many, many was the requests he made uv
Will that he'd behave to his poor boy, an'
do by him what he had done for Will
Gardiner to make him an honest sailor an'
a Christian man. That same night Black
Will, as we always called him, had a long
talk with Mrs. Blair, an' he asked her the
question that had been the aim an' object
of his life ; he asked her to be his wife,
an' to forget all she had ever loved as only
a woman can love—once ; but he spoke uv
him that was dead and gone, or the man
with whom he'd broken the same bread
and drunk the same cup, as a ne'er-do
well that desarved to be forgotten ; little
knowin', the black-hearted villain ! the
woman he had to dale with. Oh, my
jewel ! it was betty that up an' gev him
her mind, and he left her that night wid
the scowl upon his brow and the curse
upon his lips.
" More nor a year passed away, and
still no news uv the Carlo Zeno. The
poor mother was well nigh disthracted,
and as for ould Clement, he was fairly
besides himself. At last, one fine day,
who should come back, as if the finger uv
Fate was on him, but Black Will himself,
and nobody else wid the exception of Art
Sullivan, a very ould man, who was car
penter of the ship ; she had foundered at
say—the crew escaped on a raft; but,
after days of awful sufferin', the only two
that was picked off that fatal raft was
himself and the carpenter.
The measure of poor Clement Lorimer's
bitterness was now full he had seen ships
and money and everything pass away from
him, and now the only being that bound
him to earth, that this poor old wearied
heart clung to, the fair golden-haired
laughin' boy, whose presence was like
sunshine to him, and whose life was wrapt
up in his own, he was gone too, and all
the world was black and dreary to him. He
longed for rest, the rest that knows no brak
in' till the last day comes, and the broken
hearted desolate sowl was not long findin'
it. We laid him in his last restin'-place,
an' all that remained of the once great
ship-master was a narrow grave and a plain
little headstone ; and poor Letty was left
in solitary widowhood to mourn the days
that wor past—too happy to be lastin' and
too fieetin' to be true.
The little that was left her she spent
in charity and preparin' herself for the
home where those she loved best had gone
before her.
Well, yer honor, one night Letty was
tauld that a dyin' man wanted to make
his peace wid the world, and that he should
see her.
4 Do you know me ?' says he to•her whin
she wint into the wretched cabin, where he
was lyin' on a lock uv sthraw.
You're Art Sullivan !' says she, a
faithful servant of my poor father's.'
4 Ay, God help me, Miss Letty !' says
; I was once honest, an. had'a clear
conscience, but for that black villain Will
Gardiner ! says he.
What about him What of him I'
says she. Oh ! Art Sullivan, asthore
machree ! if you know anything of my poor
lost boy—as you are now about to appear
before your Judge—tell me.
Listen, my poor Colleen !' says he.
Listen—'twas for .that I sint for you.
Whin we escaped on the raft young
Donald was safe and sound, and so wor
all the crew, but we had days and nights
of awful sufferin'— : hunger and thirst and
the killin' heat by day sent most of them
mad, and they jumped into the say, where
the sharks made short work of them, and
the rest died of fair starvation. At last
none were left but Will Gardiner, myself,
and young Donaldlilair. Oh! but he was
a brave fine boy ! he kept our spirits goin'
day by day, and bid us cheer up, although
the poor darlin's bones wor' peepin' thro'
his skin. That terrible man had a little
store of rum and biscuit, for I kept my
eye on him night an' d'ay, and when he
knew I had discovered him, he gave me a
taste now and then, but never, a morsel
nor a sup would he give the, brave child
that was dyin' before his face. I took it,
and tried to make -the little Donald swal
low some; but no, he•had the - spent of a
---BUCHANAN.
lion; Nol' he used to whisper, and his
little eyes would flash, What the black
rascal .would not give to the poor •men
that's gone shall never pass my lips !' It
was a just rebuke to myself, a big man, to
hear that from the lips of a child ; but I
was wake and feeble, and the great black
thief was sthrong through his own coward
ly selfishness—so, what could I do ?
When a man is driven to death by inches,
he craves for life more than ever—pride,
manliness, everything is wake in him ; but
that boy was'a hero, if ever there was one
born. At last the day came that all was
gone ; another and another followed, and
Black Will Gardiner stooped over me and
whispered a horrid timptation, for, says
he, if we can only prolong life a couple
of days more, we'll be sure to fall in wid
some of the homeward-bounders !' My
blood curdled at his words ; but as the
day wore on, and no sign uv a sail, he
spoke to me again ; but I swore at him,
and he swore at and cursed me, and called
me a drivellin' old fool to cant about
mercy to a worthless brat. I wondther
now he did not throw me overboard, but
the coward was afraid of his conscience—
he feared being alone. At last, he spoke
out bold and said the time was come we
should draw lots for life, one must die to
keep the others alive. _ The lots were
drawn, and, God forgive him and me ! the
lots were drawn falsely, and poor little
Donald—Oh ! God shield that sight from
my memory !—there was that arch-demon
struggling wid that poor small child. I
screamed ;. I tried to rise and help and
save him ; but no, I was feebler than he
was, and at last the blow was str4ck ; ay,
God forgive him, that man-deVil ! he
murdered poor little Donald—he drank of
h:s blood and he eat of his flesh, and he
forced it upon me, too, and bound me by
fearful oaths never to reveal what I do
now, but I could not die aisy. Oh,
mercy ! mercy, Miss Letty ! I am goin'—
I am—'
The wild cry alone answered, the
spirit of the old man had fled, and with it
the senses of poor Letty Blair.'
And is it possible, Muftagh ?' I
exclaimed, 'that nothing has ever been
done about this?'
God bless per honor !' said the old
man, what could we do? Letty told me
the story herself in a few odd clear
moments she had after the first shock
passed away, but then she got worse than
ever. Our only witness was dead, and
who would take a man's life on the word
of a poor crazed woman? But his day
will come, yer honor—sooner or later !
The finger is on him, sure an' fixed ! lie
tried sailin' from other ports, but he
always comes back to this. But tell me,
yer honor,' said the old man with intense
eagerness, do you believe in the appear
ance of sperits from the other world ?'
NA by do you ask the question V
4 Because poor Letty often wandthers
by the sayside, and says that she is talking
to little Donald ; and thin she kneels down
beside oleClement's grave, and whispers
to him to be of good cheer, that little
Donald, is comin' to him, and that she is
comin' too, but that she must wait for
Gardiner;Will and, sure enough, when
we see her doin' this, we know he is not
far off ; and let it be by day or by night
that he comes back, there she kneels upon
that platform of rock--the first that he
sees whin he comes, and the last whin he
goes away. God forgive her poor wander
in' broken sperit, it's not Christian-like,
but shure she knows no better—she asks
for her poor lost son--once the pride of
the heart that shall never bloom again,
the light of the eyes that shall never
sparkle more bet in madness. Terrible
will be the fate of the man that wrongs
the widowed and the fatherless !'
The old pilot ceased, and I•shall do the
same, good reader. I tell you the tale as
it was told to me ; and, for aught I know,
the poor maniac mother may still frequent
the little pier of 1,-----, and Black Will
Gardiner may still be prosperous ; but as
sure as the old pilot said it, his day will
come.
I need hardly say that the names I have
introduced are not the real ones.
The Ugly Family.
In one of the lower districts of the
Palmetto State, there once lived a family
of six or seven persons, who were known
far and wide as the ugly family.' One of
them, Jake, was so, onspeakably ' hard
favored, that it made one feel as if he had
bitten a green persimmon to look at him,
and whenever he walked through the
streets, the dogs slunk their tails and
sneaked off, too soared to bark.
The fame of his family spread through
the country, and at last reached the ears
of a Georgian, who, for a long time, had
held undisputed possession of the cele
brated pen-knife. This individual deter
mined at length to pay a visit to the ugly
famiiy, and endeavor to dispose of the
aforesaid knife. So one morning he
crossed the Savannah, and about noon he
saw a wagon ahead, and rode up to inquire
the whereabouts of the family.
Hello, stranger!' said he to a man
walking by the side of the wagon.
Hello, yourself!' exclaimed the wagon
er, turning round and disclosing a coun
tenance so tremendously plain that the
Georgian almost dropped from his horse.
I say,' said the Georgian, recovering
a little from the astonishment, are you
not 'ugly Jake' himself
The wagoner shook his head and grin
ned a ghastly smile that made him look
like the nightmare personified.
I'll bet you ten dollars that you are
the ugliest -man in the State,' said the
Georgian.
Done !' said the wagoner, come here.'
And going to the back of the wagon, he
called, Wake up, Jake, and put your
head out here.'
The Georgian, burning with curiosity,
leaned forward as the cover was raised
slowly up. Suddenly his eyes fell upon
a physiognomy so awfully, boundlessly,
overpoweringly ugly, that it seemed to be
formed oat of the double extract of delir
ium tremens.
The horse snorted and started back in
fright and threw his rider over his head,
but the latter had scarcely touched the
ground before -he was mounted again.—
Throwing down the ien dollars and his
.1
pen-knife without saying a word, he 'struck
a bee-line, for the ; Savannah, looking
alternately over each shoulder as long
as the wagoner remained in sight.
ger Why is a muff like a fool? Because
it holds a lady's hand without squeezing it.
RECIPE FOR BLACKBERRY WINE.—As
this is the blackberry season, we publish
the following recipe for the manufacture
of this wine:
There is no wine equal to the black
, berry wine, when properly made, either in
flavor or for medicinal purposes, and all
persons who - can conveniently do so should
manufacture enough for their own use
every year, as it is invaluable in sickness
as a tonic, and nothing is a better remedy
for bowel diseases. We, therefore, give
the recipe for making it, and, having tried
it, we speak advisedly on the subject :
Measure your berries and bruise them, to
every gallon adding on a quart of boiling
water. Let the mixture stand twenty-four
hours, stirring occasionally ; then strain
off the liquid into a cask, to every gallon
adding two pounds of sugar; cork tight
and let stand till the following October,
and you will have wine ready for use,
without further straining or boiling, that
will make lipr smack that never smacked
under similar influences before. It may
be improved, and, perhaps,.will keep bet
ter, by adding a small quantity of pure
French brandy.
