; Equestrianism Extraordinary. A corres
pondent or "Life Illustrated," gives the fol
lowing as a portion of the experience of a ca
det at West Point:
"When I came back from furlough my class
had ridden lor a fear, I only for a week or two.
Nothing daunted, however, by this, and blind
ly trusting to fortune and my own powers, I
buckled on a pair of rusty spurs, bound my
self securely to an enormous sabre with a pon
derous iron scabbard, and sallied forth. Dra
goon brought me a raw-boned, vicious lookinz
animal, which, after some preliminary difficul
ties, I succeeded ia mounting.
; 'Trot ! Horse started ; so did I, half off
my saddle. I had never been taught to keep
my heels well out, and accordinaly my spurs
went in. Horse went in' too. ; Motion pecu
liar. Began to think I was losing my balance
Sabre flew ont and hit the horse on the head
In plunged ray spurs deep among his ribs.
jvnomerjump. feabre flew back and hit Lira
on the flanks. Spurs worked convulsively a
mong his bones jnmp, thump, spur! Horse
reared ; seized his mane kicked up ; caught
his car and saved myself. It began to giow
exciting. Finally horse started off. Such a
race ! Tuning on the mane had no tendency
to check his mad career ; rather seemed to ir
ritate him. Had a good hold with the spurs,
but did not consider myself perfectly safe.-
Sabre flew up and hit me in the face. Blind
for a moment, and heard something drop.
Looked up into the saddle and saw I was not
there, concluded I must be on the cround.
Horse standing near, eating grass, and looking
at me with a quiet twinkle in his eye, adding
insult to injury." ,
Focxd nia Father. My son, can you tako
a trunk for mc up to the hotel ?" said a passen
ger stepping from a boat on the levee, to a
ragged looking youngster, who sat balancing
on the tail end of a dray.
"Your son V cried the boy, eyeing him from
head to foot. "Well, I'll be dod drapped if I
ain't in luck. Here I've been trying to find
daddy these three years, and all of a sudden
up comes tho old Loss himself, and knows mc
right off. How aro you ?" stretching out a
muddy looking paw.
Tho traveller was nonplussed. Between a
smile and a frown, he inquired: "What is
your name, sir 2"
"My name. So you don't know. Well, Its
-.nothing for people in these parts to havo so
many children that they don't know their
names. My name's William but some folks
call me ragged Bill, for short. What the oth
er part is I reckon you know, if you don't you
must ax the old 'omaa."
; And shouldering the trunk he marched off
towards the hotel, mumbling to himself:
"Well this is a go. The old gemman come
home at last. Good clothes, big trunk, must
have the tin. Well I am in luck."
There la a fast boy out ia Madison, the cap
ital of Wisconsin, who, if he gets no backsets,
w ill scarcely fail to reach Congress or the pen
itentiary, one of these days.
His school teacher, a young lady, was pros
ecuted by his parents for pretty severely welt
ing the young rascal's back for his conduct.
The case went up to court, and the verdict of
the jury was in effect, "served him right."
Wo give a portion of the boy's testimony, the
wit of which atones for his rudeness.
"I asked her to do a sum for me, and she
refused."
'What was the sum 1" asked the counsel for
the defendant.
"To subtract nine from twenty eight."
"Could you do that without her assistance?"
"I suppose I could; but the arithmetic said
I couldn't subtract nine from eight without
borrowing 10, and I didn't know where the
d 1 to borrow it."
Asd he r la ted, &c. We seo by a hoop
pole county paper that a "gemman" "of color
has been enlightening the residents of that
district by an cloqnent and powerful display
of oratorical genius never before heard in that
section of the country. Ho closed by saying
to his audienco that they "would mount on
weaglcs 'iYigs, and sore to de land ob catfish
and eels, whar do graby runs down bofo sides
yer raouf. Yea, verily, dc day will cenie when
you all will mount on de wcagles 'ings, and
play upon dc harp ob a thousan' strings !"
What fools men are, to lament because
they are not as well off as "that fellow across
the street." The richest man in town will be
forgotten in fifty years from now, as the mason
who built the Rocky Mountains. In 1843 we
attended the funeral of a millionaire. We vis
' itcd his grave recently, and what do you sup
pose we Baw 7 Four bob-tailed pigs rooting
ihesoll from his grave. And this was the end
of all his influence a neglected grave, with
four stub-tailed pigs rooting np the soil. So
passes tho glory of the world.
It is related of Johnson "rare Bon John
son" that going home in his wagon, one hot
day, he fell asleep. Some young scamp, pass
ing that way, unhitched his nag, and sending
the poor beast a roaming, drew the wagon to
tho fence. After a time Ben awakes. He
wonders, and, wondering, exclaims : "Am I
Ben Johnson, or am I not. If I am Ben John
ton, I havo lost a horse ; if I am not Ben
Johnson, I have found a cart."
Illistratixq a Point. Sir Fletcher Nor
ton was noted for his want of courtesy. When
pleading before Lord Mansfield on some ques
tion of manorial right, he chanced unfortu
nately to say, "My lord, I can illustrate the
point in an instant in my own person. I my
self have two UUle manors." The Judge im
mediately interposed, with one of his blandest
smiles, "We all know it, Sir Fletcher."
Paddy's description of a fiddle can't be beat,
he says "It was as big as a turkey and as fat
as a goose he turned it over on its back, and
took a crooked stick, and drawed it across its
belly, and, O, St. Patrick, how it did squall.'"

IMPORTANT TO HOUSEKEEPERS asd
FRUIT GROWERS. ARTHUR'S PAT.
ent Air-Tight Self-Sealing Cans and Jars, for
Preserving Fresh Fruits, &c. This invention for
wnicn a patent has been obtained, commends it
self to tho attention of Housekeepers and others,
on account of its great simplicity, and the effectu
al manner in which it accomplished a very desi
rable and useful object
The cans and jars arc constructed with a chan
nel around the mouth, nerr the top, into which
the cover fits loosely. This channel is filled with
a very adhesive cement, prepared for the purpose
and allowed to harden. In order to seal the ves
sel hermetically, it it only ncccatary to heat the
cover sttghtfy, and press it into plact. It may be
opened with as much ease as it is closed, by slight
ly warming tho top. The ordinary tin cans, used
for the same purpose for which thta is intended,
cannot be closed.- as is well known without the aid
of a tinnsr; are difficult to open, and are generally
so much injured in opening as to be useless for
future service. .
By this simple contrivance, the process of her
mctical sealing is placed conveniently within the
reach of every individual; and fruit, vegetables
and butter (if properly prepared) may be kept,
with their natural flavor unimpaired, for an in
definite length of time. For sale by
