A LITTLE TOO PUNCTUAL The hour was approaching for the de parture of the New Ilavcu steamboat from her berth at New York, and" the usual crowd of passengers, newsboys, fruit ven- J Jcrs, cabuicu and dock loafers were as sembled ou and about the boat. We were gazing at the motely group froui the foot of the dock stairs, when our attention was attracted by tin singu lar action of a tall, brown Yankee, in an imni'iufe brown bat, chocolate colored coat and paDtlooos, and a fancy vest. He s'.Mod ucar the starboard paddle box, and scrutiuized sharply very female comiug on board, every now aui then consulting his cii'iruiou.'i bull's eye watch, which ho rais- cd from the depths of a rapacious fob. by nieaas of a powerft:i steel chain. Af ter uiouuting guard iu this manner, Le dashed furiously down the gang plank and up the wharf, re appearing again onboard almost instantly, expressing the most in tense anxiety. This series of operations lie performed several times, after which he rushed about the boat wild!y, and hopele.s.-ly cj iculaticg : 'What's tho time of day ? Wonder if my repeater is fast ? Whar's the cap'u ? Whar's the steward ? Whar's the mate? W liar's the boss that owns this thip V 'Wliat's the matter, sir,'' we veutured to ask him, when he halted for a moment lor breath. "Ilaiu't seen notbin' of a gal in a blue stitiboutiet, with a Cantou crape shawl (cost Ol'teen dollars,) piuk gown and broWB boors, hey? Come aboard while I've laud bceu looking for the cap'n, at the pait of the ship Lave ye, hey 1" "No such pcrsou has come on board." "Toruicuted lightning she's my wife !'' ho screamed; "married yesterday! All her trunks and mine aboard, uuder a pile of baggage as lull as a Connecticut steeple! The black nigger says he wont hand it out to uie, aud I won't leave my baggage anyhow. My wife ouly think of it was to have come ou board at half-past four, and here it is uow most five. What's become of her 1 She can't have eloped ! We havn't been married loug enough for that. You dou't thiuk she's bceu abdi cated, do ye, Mister? Speak answer won't ye. Oh ! I'm raviu' distracted. What are they ringiu' that bell for ? Is the shin on fire " "It is the signal for departure the first bell ; the secoud bell will ring in lour minutes." 'Thunder ! you don't say so ! Whar's the cap'n ?'' 'That gentleman in the b'uc coat." The Yankee darted to the captain's side. "Cap'n, stop tho ship for ten minutes, will ye r "Cau't do it, air." "15ut ye must, I tell ye ; I'll pay ye for it. How mucb. will ye take "I could not do it." "Cap'n, I'll give ye tew dollars," gasp ed the Yankee. The captain shook his head. "fli give you five dollars and a half and a half and a hall !" he kept repeat ing, aud uauciuir about in airony lue a mad bull, "This boat starts at five precisely," said the captain shortly, arid turned away. "Oh, you stony-hearted heathin'!" mur mured the Yankee, almost bursting into tears. "1 artin' man and wite, and we just one day married At this moment the hucro caddie wheel , , , , ., 11.;. fo"" lu 1'"" l"u ""'"i aua luu beam descended heavily, shaking the huge fabric to the centre. All who wero not going to New Haven went ashore. The hands began to haul in the gang plank; the fasts were already cut loose. "Lcggc that plank," roared tho Yan kee, collaring one of the hands. "Drop it like a hot potato, or I'll throw you in to the dock.'' "Yo-yo," shouted the men in chorus, as they heaved on the gangway. "Shut np, ye brayin' donkeys '." yelled the maddeucd Yaukeo, "or there'll be ugly sort of work." 11 ut the plank was got aboard, and the boat splashed past the pier. In an in stant the Yankee pulled off his coat, and tiling his hat beside it on the deck. "Are you drunk or crazy!" cried a ra3ttuer, seizing him. "I'm going to fiin myself iuto the dock and swim ashore," cried tho TankceJ New York city. You. may divide my baSSai?e among ye let me go I kin swim." He struggled ro furiously that the con sequences of his rashness might have been fatal Lad not an apparition chaged his purpose. A very prcity young wo man in a blue bonnet, while Canton, crape shawl, pink dress and brown boots came toward him. The big brown Yankco uttered one stentorian shout of "8airy Ann," clasping her in hs arms in spite of her struggling, and kiascd Iter heartily, right before the passengers. "Wbar did ye come fros?'' ho in quired. "From the ladies' cabin," answered the bride: 'Vnil ti.1.1 Ta l.tf otrt f..,.- but I thought I'd make, sure, and com at four." "A little too punctual! said the Yankee, "but it's all right ncow. Co ahead steam boat, llos'.n up there, firemen. Darn tho expense." When the sun set, tho loving conplo were seen sitting on tL apper deck, the big brown Yankee's arm encircling tho slender waist of the young woman in blue bonnet and pink dress. We believe they reached their destination safe and sound. BIG TREES IN MISSOURI. It is popularly supposed that California has the biggest trees- in the world, but I'rof. Swallow, of the Missouri Geobgical Survey, claims the distinction for his own Stats. (Ie gives the following actual measurement of big trees in Southern. Missouri : The largest tree is a cycamore in Mis sissippi county, sixty feet high, which, two feet above the ground, measures forty-three feet in circumference. Another sycamore in Howard county is thirty eight feet in diameter. A cypress in Cape Gi- .'rardcau county, at a distanco of one foot above the ground, measures twenty-nine feet in circumference. A Cottonwood in Mississippi county measures thirty feet round, at a distance of six fe?t above th ground. A pecan in the same county is eighteen feet in circumference. A black walnut in lieuton county measures twenty-two feet in circumference. A white oak in Howard county ii twecty-six feet in circumference. A tulip trco (poplar) in Cape Girardeau county is thirty feet in circumference. Thercisatupeloin Stod dard county thirty feet in circumference. A hackberry in Howard county is eleven feet ia circumference. A Spanish oak in New Madrid county is twenty six feet id circumference. A white ash iu Missis sippi county is sixteen feet in circumfer ence. A honey locust in Howard county is thirteen feet iu circumference. There is a willow in Pcinsicot county that has grown to the sizo of twenty-four feet ia circumference and one hundred feet iu height. Mistissipji county boasts of a sassafras that must bo the king of that tribe ; it measures nine leet in cireuiufer. cuce. A persimmon in tue same county is nine feet in circumference In tLti samo county is a red bud six feet iu cir cumference. Iu I'euJecot county there is a dogwood six fect in circumference. In Mississippi county paw-paws grow to a circumference of three feet, and grape vines and trumpet creepers to a circum ference of eighteen to twenty-two inches. Good. A candidate for office, canvass ing his district for voters, cani3 upon a poor Mr. White, who had a vote to cast. Poor White was milking when Mr. Office Seeker found him, "Shall I hold her?" asked he, seeing the animal was uneasy. The old man consented, the office seeker took the pow by the horns and the man proceeded with his milking. 'Have you had Lashcll around here lately ?" asked tho candidate presently, referring to his rival. ' Oa, yes," said the old man, "he's be hind the barn holding the calr." lQTSuyS Fanny Fern : "I am fifty-five, and I feel half tho time as if I was just made." So do a great many cf oui la dies, and they keep the milliuery shops goiug too.
