AN AWKWARD PREDICA MENT FOR AN
INNOCENT MAN.
Talking of a man's making a hero of
himself, reminds me of an old friend of
Mine, who is fond of telling long stories
about fights and quarrels that he has had
Willa day, and who always makes his
bearer hisopponent for the time, so as to
give ire'd fo what be is saying. Not long
' ago X met him on 'Change, at a business
hour, when all the commercing multitudes
of the city were together, and you could
mutely turn for the people. The old
fellaW fixed . his eye on me ; there was a
fataifascination in it. Getting off with-
Cht' iticegation, would have been unpar•-
'tlOriablis disrespect: In a moment, his

says I, "What do you mean by that ?"
"Why,' says he to me, says he al. mean
pit. What I say." Phan I began to burn.
Theto was an impromptu elevation of my
personal dandruff which was unaccounta
ble. I didn't waste words on him ; I just
took him 'in this way," (hero the old

A NOIIIIIWHICASTILD W Recetß.—The
Salem (N. .1:) Standard' relates the fol
of,capt. Jossem PABICILL, a .jer
sey ehtireman, of whom the Newark Daily
Advertiser adds,• that ••ho has assisted on
various occasions in rescuing six hundred
persons and millions of property from ship
wreck, without having ever received one
cent by way of remuneration."
a Capt. G. is unassuming as he is brave,
and it is with the greatest (Faculty he can
be induced to enter upon a recital of his ad
ventures, which have been sufficiently nu
merous, on our wild and desolate shore, to
fill a most interesting volume.
Last April a brig drove ashore near
Groat Egg Harbor. The night was dark !
and the storm raged furiously. As
usual the fishermen crossed the sound to',
the beach, but their boats were all toe
heavy to be carried over, and it was im
possible to pass them out the inlet. In
the extremity of despair, and while the,
vessel was momentarily expected to gqi
to pieces, Capt. G. arrived with a dimin
utive gunning-skill; decked over except a
small space, scarcely large enough to seat
the rower. The skiff, was ' soon carried.
across the beach, launched into the furl?

and Capt. G., seizing the ears.started tr.
rectly through the breakers for the brig.--
Every wave of course submerged the tiny
craft, but, drenched and half frozen, he fi
nally arrived alongside. The 'captain and
crew were struck with astonishment st the
temerity of the bold sailor, and, forgetting
their own peril, hailed her, "Skill - ahoy
where arc you bound ?" Copt. G. re
ceived one of the crew from the bowsprit.
who, fitting with his back •to thestern,
formed a break -water, and by this means
was safely landed. Notwithstanding the
coldness of the weather Capt. 0. cumin
tied his, trips until every man was saved ;
and sunrise found him struggling for a full
hour, on his last trip, with the captain and
his dog. The entire crew would undoubt
edly have perished had it not been for the
intrepidity of Capt. G. in venturing out in
his mere egg-steel! skiff. No 'offer oe
ney would have induced him to perform
this act, but the knowledge that fellow
creatures demanded his assistance appeal
ed to the heart, and commanded the aid of
the generous sailor."
New Albapy Bulletin bag an
interesting account of an operation ;per
formed by. Dr. Sloan, of New Albany, up
on the eyes of Rev. N. Hoskins, of Craw
ford county, la., who had been blind from
birth. Th'e Bulletin says:
" Mr. iloskins was taken home to Craw
ford county before tholiandages were re
moved, and when this was done, We are in
formed by tt" gentleman residing in qhat
neighborhood, the operation was found to
have been eminently successful. He. de
scribes the emotions of the patient, when
suddenly possessed of a sense so novel to
him, to be of the most enthusiastic descrip
tion. Things which he had long been ac
quainted with through the medium of
other senses became possessed of . a Pew
and surprising beauty, and the roads which
he had been used to travel fearlessly when
blind had to be again learned. His wife
and children, whom he had never seen, his
friends, his parishioners, his home, every
thing endeared to him, became an unend
ing source of delight and new born gratifi
cation. He had the same confused notions
of distance which we see the smallest
children manifest, and took the liveliest
pleasure in beholding the great variety of
colors. In short, he was compelled to
learn to see, in precisely the same manner
that the smallest child does, and to him it
was an occupation of the most gratifying
nature."
GREAT FIRE IN NEW YORK.—The city
of Now York was visited on Friday night
by - anoth destryctive conflagration, which
broke out in the stables of Mr. Johnston,
in Fifteenth street near the 10th avenue,
which were entirely destroyed, together
with the range of stables on 18th street.
Between 150 and 160 cows and 15 horses
were burned in the stables, and by the ca
lamity two human beings lost their lives.
One, named James Keegan, had cows in
the stables, and was suffocated while at
tempting to rescue them. The other
was a woman, named Lucinda Sandes,
who, with her reputed husband, who was
employed about the stables, was sleeping
in one of the lofts.
ANTIQUirr.-A lawyer and doctor were
discussing the aniquity of their respective
professions, and each cited authority to
prove his the most ancient.
"Mine," said the'discipla of Lycurgus.
"commenced almost with the world's
birth; Gain slew his brother Abel, and
that was a criminal case in common law."
aTrue," replied the son of Esculapins,
"but mine is coeval with creation itself;
old Eve was made out of a rib taken from
the body of Adam, and that was a surgi
cal operation."
The lawyer dropped his green bag.
