A LITTLE TOO PUNCTUAL.
A STEAMBOAT SKETOR
The hour was approaching for the departure
of the New Haven steamboat front her berth at
New York, and the usual crowd of passengers,
and friends of passengers. newsboys, fruit ven
ders, cabmen and dock loafers,.were assembled
on and about the boat. We were gaking at
the Motle2rgroup, front-the foot of the prome
nade deck stairs, when our attention was at
tracted by the singular action of a tall. brown
Yankee, in an immense wool hat, chocolate
colored coat and pantaloons, and a fancy. -vest.
.Ile stood near the starboard paddle-box, and
scrutinized sharply every female who came on
board, every now and then Consulting an enor
mous silver bull's-eye watch, which he raised
from the depths of a capacious fob, by means
of a powerful steel chain. After mounting
guard in this manner. he dashed furiously
down the gang plank and.up the wharf, re-ap-
pearing on board almostinstantaneously, with
a flushed face, expressing tl►e most intense anx
iety:," This series of operations be performed
several times, after which he rushed about the
boat. wildly and hopelessly, ejaculating :
"What's the time er day ? Wonder if my
repeater's fast •' %%liar's the cap'n ? whar-s
the steward ? whar's the mate ? whar's the
boss that owns this ship ?" •
“What:s the matter, sir ?” we o ventured to
ask him when he stood still for a moment.
"Hain% seen nothin' of a gal in a blue sun
bonnet. with a white Canton crape shawl,
(cost $15,) pink gown and brown boots. eh ?
come aboard while I was looking for•the cap'n
at the pint end of the ship—have ye ? hey ?'
"No such person has come aboard."
'Tormented lightnin'! she's mY wife'." he
exclaitned ; "married yesterday. All her
tiunks and mine are aboard, under a pile of
baggage as tall as a Connecticut steeple. The
darn 'd black nigger says he can't hand it out,
and I won't leave toy baggage any how. My
wife, only think on't; was to come aboard at
half-past four, and here it's most five. What's
become of her ? She can't have eloped. You
don't think she's been abducted,' do ye, mis
-
ravin' distracted ! What are they ringing
that bell for ? Is the ship afire ?"
"It is the signal fir departure, the first bell.
The second will be rung in four minutes."
"Thunder.' you don't say so? What's the
calf]) ?"
'•That gentleman in the blue coat."
The Yaiikee darted to the captain's side.
“Cap'n, stop the shiplor ten minutes, won't
ye ?"
"I can't do it, 6i r."
"But ye must, I tell you. I'll pay you fur
. Bow much will - ye as ?" •
•
"I could not do it.''
"Cap'n, I'll give ye tew dollars," gasped
le Yankee.
The Captain shook his head.
give ye five dollars and a half—and a
alf!—and a half!—awl a half !—and a hall .."•
Inc kept repeating, dancing about in his agony,
like a mad jackass on a hot non plate.
"The boat starts at five precisely," said the
captain, shortly, and turned away.
,•() ! you stunny-hearted heathen !"
rnur
n►ured the 'Yankee. almost bursting into tears.
••Partin' man and wife and we just one day
married."
At this moment the huge paddle-wheels be
gan to paw the water, and the walking bean[
descended heavily, shaking the huge fabric to
her centre. All who were not going to New
haven went ashore. The hand, began to haul
in the gang plank ; the fasts arc already cast
loose.
"Leggo the plank," roared the Yankee, col
laring one of the hands. “Drop it like a hot
potato, or I'll heave ye into the dock."
yo !" shouted the men in chorus, as
they heaved on the gangway.
—Shut up, you braying donkeys !'• yelled tile
maddened Yankee — , —or there'll he an ugly spot
ofivoric."
But the plank %vac; got aboard, and the boat
pladicd the pier.
In an instant the Yankee pulled ofT leis coat.
flung hi. hat I.c,ille it ou the deck, and
wildly to the -Hard.
:Are von Arun;; or crazy ?'' cried a pas-en

and brown boots came towards him.
The big brown Yankee uttered one stento
rian shout of “Salty Ann," clasped her in his
arms, in spite.of her struggling, {rut kissed
her heartily, right, before all the passengers.
''Where did you come from ?" he inquired.
'''Prom the ladies' cabin," answered the
brille.--“You told me half-past four, but I
tho't I'd make sure and ,conie - st four."

\\Then the sun set the long couple were seen
seated on the upper deck, the big brown Yan

young woman in the blue bonnet awl pink
dress. We believe they reached their destina
tion safe and' sound.
Sharp Betting.
The editor of the Albany Register gives the
following as the result of his experience in bet
ting on elections !—"Wo were a great .Jackson
man, we were, the last time, that the old Gen
eral ran for Ilii! - PreSideney. in the
conntry then, and had a neighbor who was on
the other side of. the political fence, who was
a great dealer. in horses. Well, we got into
an argument, with hint one day, and so sure
was he of success, that he offered to bet it horse
against fifty dollars that the old hero of New
Orleans would not be elected. We took the
bet. The argument heing, one that has .no
end, was renewer: front time to time with the
same result, until five horses on on side, - and'
s2stl on the other were 'staked-on the issue of
'the election. 'We won. But we had forgot
to designate the animals ; and inch a
. lot of
horses as, was tendered in payment of the bet,
was a sight to see ! If there was an ailment
to which horse flesh is subject that was not
exhibited by one of these live horses, we'shoOld
like to be informed of its diagnosis. There
was ringbone, and spavin, and stringhalt, and
blindness, and heaves :_ and one venerable old
roadster bad all these, and In addition, was
deaf as a post: We kept theta a week .as a
collection of curiosities in the animal line, and
then sold theist at. auction. According to our
recollection, four of them
. sold for forty dollars,
in the aggregate, and we gave a tin pedlar ten
for taking the other. We have nut bet on elec
tions since, and don't want' to in any more
horses." •
