SWALLOWING OYSTERS ALIVE.
BY SOIATAIRX.
A Seeker—His First Oyster--Stoallowieg it A.

pearalree.
At a late hour, the other night, the door of an oys
ter house in our city was thrust open, and in stalked
a hero of the Sucker Suite. He was quite six feet
high, spare, somewhat stopped, with a hungry, anxione
countenance, and his hands pushed clear down to the
bottom of his breeches pockets-. His outer covering
was hard to define but after surveying it minutely, we
came to the conclusion that his suit had been made in
his boyhood, of a dingy, yellow linsey woolsey, and that
having sprouted up with astonishing rapidity, he bad
been forced to piece it ont with all the colors in order
to keep pace with his body. In spite of his exertions,
however, he had fallen in arrears about a foot of the
necessary length, and, consequently, stuck' that far
through his inexpressibles. His hair was surmounted
by the funniest little seal skin cap imaginable. After
taking a position, be indulged in a lung state at the
man opening, the bivelves, and slowly ejaculated—
"lsters
"Yes sir," responded the attentive operator, "and
fine ones they ate, too,"
"Well. I've heurn tell of isters afore," says be, 'but
this is the font time I've seed 'em, and perhaps
knoW what thar made of afore I git out of town,"
Havingezpressed this desperate intention, he cau
tiously approached a plate, and sc.untinized the %n
-eased shell fish with a gravity and interest which
wou'd have dune honor to the moat illustrious sear
cher into the hidden mysteries of nature. At length
he began to soliloquize on the difficulty of gettiug them
out and how freer they looked when out.
"I never seed any thin' hold on so—'taken an ama
zin site of screwin,' hogs, to get 'em out, and aim they
Mick and slippery when they does come? Smooth as
on cell '[ e ve a good mind to give that feller lodgings'
jest to realize the effects, as uncle Jest used to say
bout spekelai kn."

"Well, sir," wa3 the reply. down with two bits,aod
you can have a dozen."
-Two hire exclaimed the Sucker, "now, come,
that's slacken' it on rite strong hots, for utters. A
dozen on em aiut nothin' to a chicken, and there's no
gitin' more'n a picayune a piece for them. I've on'y
realized 95 picuytmes on my first venture' to St Louis.
I'll tell you what, I'll gin ynu two chickens for admen,
if you'll conclude to deal."
A wag, who was standing by indulging in a dozen,
winked to the attendant to shell out, and the offer was
accepted.
'Now mind,' repeated the Sucker, "all fair--two
rhickens for a dozen,—you're a witness, mister," tur
ning at the same time to the wag; "none of your tricks
fur I've hearn tell that you city fellers are mighty
slip'ry coons."
The bargain being fairly understood, our Sucker
squared himself for the on.et,—deliberately put of his
seal-skin, tucked up his sleeves, nnd, fork in hand, a
waited the appearance of No 1. It came—he saw—
and qtti:kly it was bolted! A moment's dreadful pans.
ensued. The wag dropped his knife and with a look
of mingled amazement and horror—something akin to
Shakspeare's Hamlet on seeing his daddy's ghost,—
while he but st into the exclamation—
" Swallowed alive! as Urn a christian."
Our sticker hero bad opened Lie m outh with pleasure
a moment before, but now it stood open. Fear—a hor
rid dread,. of he didn't know what—a consciousness
that all Wasn't right, and ignorant of the extent of the
wrong—die uncertainty of that moment was terrible.
Urged to depermion he stuttered out—
"'What nn airth's the row?"
' Did you swallow it alive?" Jtvriired the wag. •
"I swallowed it jest as he gin it to me!" shouted the
Sucker.
"You're a dead m•m!" exclaimed his anxious friend;
"rhecreature ii alive and will eat right through. yoe,"
allied he in a must hopeless tone.
“Git a pizen pump and pump it out !" screamed
he Sacker, in a frenzy, his eyes fairly starting from
their sockets. "Oh gra:ious !—what'll Ido f—lt's
got hold I:;rmy innards, already, and I'm dead es •
chikea—dosco.nethin' for me, do—don't let the infer
nal sea-toad eat me afore your eyes:"
"Why did'nt you put some of this on it?" encpuied
the wng, pointing to a bottle of strong pepper sauce.
The hint was enoug it —the Sacker, upon the instant,
seized the bottle and, desperately wrenching out the
cork, swallowed half the contents at a draught. He
fairy squealed from its effects, and gasped, and blow
ed, and pitched. and twisted, as if it were coursing
through him with the electric effect, while at the
samo time his eye, ran o stream of tears. At length,
becoming a little composed, his waggish adviser sp
pronched, and almost bursting with suppressed laugh
ter inquired—
"Flow are your no*, nld fellow—did you kill it?"
"Well, I did, hose,"--ogh ugh-o•o-o my iseards.
If that leer critter's dyin' agonies did'nt stir a ruction
in me equal to a small airtbqnake, then 'taint no use
saying it—it squirmed like a serpent when that killin'
stuff touched it, but" —and here, with a countenance
made up of suppressed agony and present deteretiuts
lion, he paused as if to give force to his words, and
slowly and deliberately remarked—"lf you git two
chickens from me tor that live animal I'm d—d!" and
seizing ins seel.skin he vanished.
The shout of laughter, and the contortions of the
company at this finale, would have made a spectator
believe that they had all been "swallowing oysters
alive."
Front the West Indies.—The United Suttee brig
Somers arrived at St Jago de Cuba on the Sth of De
cember, having left Btu-neon the day previous, and
wa.+tosNil attain on the 7th for Trinidad, the Isle of
Pines. and Cape St Antonia, on n cruise.
While the United States ship Preble was at St Do
mingo, seven or eight months previo•ts, she sent her
launch, an officer. and 22 men to the relief of an Eng
lish barge which was ashore. The officer at night
leftthree men to take charge of the lean ;h, while, with
the residue, be remained with the wreck. The three
men ran away with launch and anchored iu Manson:
Hier, (island of Cuba,) where they were immediately
imprisoned, and the boat secured. One had escaped
from prison, but the othor two were taken on board the
Somers in a wretched condition. The launch being
too large to be taken on beard was left in safe keeping
until diiposrd of by our couusul at Havana, or called
for bv a vessel of war.

"The answer of Russia to the overtures of Austria
relative to Greece, is now known. The Russian Cab

bility of making any attempt to extend the frontiers
of Greece at the expense of Turkey. The represers
lativg of Russia at Athens has received the necessary
instructions in the Matter"
A letter from Alexandria of the 19th, in the same
journal, says:
"It is reported that the Pacha gave an order—not

all the goods, thatcame to Egypt to g o to India, most

Thus the iton steamer, Delta, that the company lately
