Vjgr We copy the following Folks, for 3 , larch, thinking it to be relished by everybody : Darius Green ,and his Fl ;no-Machine. f ewer there lived a Yankee lad, Wi'se or otherwise, good or bad, Who, seeing the birds fly ; clidl n't jump With flapping arms from stake or stump, Or spreading the fait, i Of his coat for a sail, Take a soaring leap from po or rail, And wonder why •. Ile could - n't fly, And flap and flutter and wish and tiy,— I f ever you knew a country dunce 1V:ho did n't try that as often as once, Ail I can :Ay is, that's a sign He never would do for a hero of mine. • • A aspiring genius was D. Green Tie son of a lariner.—age fourteen ; Ills body was tong and lank and lean,— Jilst rightfor flying, as Will be seen ; • He had tWo l eyes as bright as a bean, And a frekled nose that grew between, aWry,—for I must mention That lie had rivited his atten•.ion Upon his Wonderful invention. Twisting his tongue as be twisted his strings, And working his face as lie worksd his wings, And with every turn of Firnlet and screw Turning and screwing his mouth round too, Till his nose seemed bent To catch the scent, Around sonic corner, of new-baked pies. Arid his wrinkled cheeks and his squinting eyes Gi4w puckered into a queer grimace, That made him look very droll in the face, 1. Aud eLso very wise. , .

The azure as now we sail the sea. The thing looks simple enough to Me ; And if you doubt it, • Hear how ratios reasoned about it; • The birds can fly; : An' why can't I ?

And be said to himself,as he tinkered and p]an'd: " But I ain't gain' to show my hand :TO Rummies that never can understand • The fun idee that's big an' grand." Sn' he kept his secret from all the rest, Safely buttoned within his vest ; And in the loft above the sited H self he locks, with thimble and thread wax and hammer and buckles and screws, Atid all such things as geniuses use ; • TWo bats for patterns, curious fellows : • A iatMoal-pot anda, pair of bellows ; SMne Wire, and several old umbrellas ; learriage-cover for tail and wings ; Apiece ~ f,harness ; and straps and strings ; ij And a big strong box, ,r In which lie locks T gse and.a hundred other things. 5 - 1 lit's grinning brothers, Reuben and Burke 'AO Nathan and .16tham and Solomon, lurk I Afound the corner to see him work,— 1 Siflog cries-legged, like a Turk, r i 4 D wing the waxed-end through with a jerk, And boring the holes With a comical quirk OPhis wise old head. aOd a knowing smirk.

Half mist. half air, Like foain on the ocean went floating by,--; Just as lovely a morning as ever was seen For a nice little trip in a flying-machine. Thought cunning Darius : "Now I Elm' n't go Along 'ith the fellers to see the show. I 'll say I 'ci t e got sich a terrible cough! An' then. when the folks 'ave all gone off, I 'll liev full swing FurGl try the thing,.. An' practise a little on the wing." COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA., TUESDAY.

A Wnrrz Mutt.—Al friend told us yes terday of an amusing sckne which he wit nessed lately at the Ol river ford, near Nachitsches, in Louisiaa. negro had a wagon and a team of ix l mules, which:he wished to drive acrosit. The two, lead mules took kindly to the water, hut One of the hind ones, a whiter mule, obstinately refused to enter ( the stream. Jumping from his seat in a -furious passion, the team ster began beating the perverse animal with might and main, exclaiming between the blows, "you thinks you'se white does you!' But I'll show you—,----tpuck. dat. colored mules is as pail as you is. Gee, up 1." •'M - HAT WiS IT I V I - A TALE Or TEE NORTE PACIFIC. In the year 185—I Was in command of the Dolphin, a.fine bark of 600 tons. We had been on a whaling voyage, and had obtained an unusually good cargo of oil, both in quality and. quantity. With our course laid for home, the crew in good health, and a fair prospect of per centage money on the cargo, what more would we want to keep the song and the jest on the fins of the crew 'I Time passed quickly aloe "Homeward bound" has intensified meaning to the whaler's crew, and as :we bowled along with a good breez.e each day getting nearer to our homes and firesides, there were fO. 4, the vessel who did not feel their spirits vitu ea .• day's progress. One night about eleven o'clock I was sitting at the upper end of my cabin table' consulting.a chart on which the venel's course was laid . down. I had been reading Dante's Iqferno, and the horrible nature of the work had aroused my sensitive feel ings to such an extent that, I had deter mined to try how far a 'igar a , pl a walk on deck would steady my nerves. Just, as I was about rising from my chair, to go 'on deck I noticed a figure descending the com panion way before me. A single glance told me that it was not one of the crow. Not one of my well-fed, sleek Men could possibly look as miserable as this figure looked, even at the distance at which I saw him. Slowly, he descended the steps,' grasping the hand-rail to support himself' as if he were too feeble to descend without support. His back was bent, and his head lay forward on his breast as if' he was care fully watching his footsteps: his' fe=e were bare, while Ins-head was enveloped in a piece of oid soil-cloth in - place of a cap. His left ann,huno• down by his side care fully rolled up in his coat, which had evi• dently been taken off for this purpose; and the arm itself appeared to be br-ken. Qui letly and without uttvriug a word he ap proached me, and at list he Sat down at the opposite side of the table.to that which was my accustomed place. He then slow ly raised his head, and a sight was presen ted to my astonished gaze, the like of which J. hope I may never see again. A fine, noble face it was; but attenuated by disease and suffering, or perhaps both. 'l.'he features had been good and regular, lint now the kke checks were sunken and hol low; the teeth, white and even, Were firm ly set together, while the thin, parched lip , were drawn back trom them. The ,eye: were as black as coat, but sunk far baa it] the head, and I saw that they were at otict fixed onine with a dull, unmeaning stare: The! figure now stood , up just opposite to me,land I felt myself• spell-bound to rri) seat), without the power Ito address it. Hewitt , * looked at me fixedly for sonic time, the figure then walked up i to my Side till it touched my shoulder. Reaching out his arm, he laid a bony finger on the chart which was on the table, and before I could muster courage to articulate, to! he had disappeared. Recovering my composure somewhat, sprang with a bound up the companion way and shouted for the mate. He speed ily replied to my call and came dragging something behind him As kept up a. continued howling. As he came nearer to• me I saw that, it was my Labrador dog Ca par, and I inquired the meaning of what he was doing. "Why sir." he replied "the dog lay on the Companion-hatch unti: a few moments ago, apparently sound asleep when all of a sudden he sprang up with a herrible howl; and tan to his kennel for ward with his tail between his legs. 1 went forward after him, and. found him in his kennel shaking with fright, and when I put my hand in to pat ; him he 'attempt ed to bite me. Hearing-you call, "I drag ged him aft with me by his collar, to see it lie had not been hurt in some manner, for I never saw him act so before." Idid not examine the terrified drig, felt that he had seen my visitor as well as myself. With some difficulty I soothed him, and then went down below. 'Walk Mg up to my table, I cast a glance down at the chart. At the exact spot where my visitor had placed his attenuate finger saw a dull red mark, and on a closer ex amination I perceived that it was a drop of blood. The mark indicated a position in the chart which was about a day's sail from and at right angle to our course. Por two hours I paced the deck wondering at What had happened. The victor was surely no creation of my own imagination, for the' dog had seen the figure as well as Myself,- and the spot on the chart was plain eNidence. What could it' mean? -I half determined to ask the Man's advice. He was a firm be Bever in spiritual manifestations, and would endeaver to solve the enigma in some way or other. But then I had alwayi ridiculed the notion, and it was too Oiling to my . pride to ask his advice now on that of which I had always denied the existence [save in a heated imagination so I deter-, mined to keep my own counsel. Turning .in soon after I slept well arM aWoke re freshed--determined in my own mind to `say nothing and think no-more about When: I got on deck I found that we were becitlined I, Not a ripple was on the water.. ; The day , passed away monotonous ly enough. The crew slept. I read and smoked, and eleven o'clock that night found\ me in my chair at the bead of th; ; table in the cabin. Caspar, who had quite', got over his fears.,jay on the hatch at the, head of the cabin stairs. I could hear the pat, of his tail as a sort of greeting to thvnate as he kept passing him in his walk up . and down the deck. This evening my lthniaghts wevagranquii, for I was reading* vol.:me Of iongtellow's poems and was in the midst of Evangeline, when I heard a howl from Casper and the .scurry of his feet as he scampered forward. Looking: up I saw my visitor of the preVious night again de scending the companion-way. 7He seemed much weaker, and came slowty down, clutching, the handrail with his one sound arm and hand. He Walked across the cab in more feebly than het; we, and his. respi ratiOn was heavy and labored When be reached? the table. .1 . - He glanced at the table with an anx ious look as if to-see whether the chart was still there. It was'not. He then gazed at me with a disappointed and sorrowful' stare an , l. disappeared. I remained quiet ly in my chair for some ten minutes after tle tre hal departed. When I wen: on-deck I found 7 tlie mate again endeavor ', to soothe the 'dog, who snap snarled in hiS kennel until it wasunsafe to approach him.`. Leaving . him there I went below, and throwing •mvself, dreSsial as I was. - bn my cot, - I tried to sleep. Utire• freshing and feverish was the sleep •which visited me that night, and I arose in the morning totally unfit for work of any kind a with my nerves entirely . Unstrung. What was expected of Mei; tor what purpose had I been warned ?- 7 .-What must. I do? Thus I mused during the entire day. Caspar tept'close . to his kennel all the time and steadily refused to eat or driuk. W hen ever any one of us approached bun lie at tempted to snap at us. and appeared as if entirely under the influence of some great fear. The calm had continued during the entire day, and we made no prog,rkss what ever. Again evening approached and the Same hour found me as err the twO previous nights. sitting at my table. This time :I eagerly awaited my visitor. Would the figure again appear? I found Myself hop ing that it would. This time not at tempt to read, for my "th ,tightsi were too troubled to permit. of any concentratine in) , mind on any book. The eame chart with the blood-stain on it, lay on the table before Me: Would my visitor, if he Caine again, touch that spot, or Would he give me some other sign which might, indicate to me the course I ought torpurtuiel, This time there was no Caspar to Warn the,; but, I felt that the figure was coining even; err it appeared. PresentlV I saiv It again coming down the stairs. ThiS time it was; o%'idently far-weaker than before,'l for with! difficulty coal it stand, and it.toded down the steps in manifest sutferinms and agony.' A.tda.stit reached the cabin . ' floor and at tempted to it . dviince toward me; but no sooner had it let go the Vaud-rad . than it -ank down exhausted. I sprang .4.11). and' rushed toward it; but the moin e nt,l. moved the spectre vanished, and when I 'attelopt. ed to raise the fallen figure my hands touch ed the cabin floor. - And now a light.'seemed to break upon me. I rushed• upon deck, when I found the mate and crew setting all Sad to catch the breeze. which had just sprung . up. immediately give . order that the )(:/pkin,..s. course should be altered to • -that which would bring us to the spot marked se-plain ly on the cnart b l y, the drop of b! i.l. Al that night I paced' the deck ~ No sleep seemed, possible to me until ,his hidden invstpry should be revealed.. W. mad e a beautiful run, and with daylight] I hoped: to find— Irtat i= I knew net.. The dawn brought a disappointment, 'A dense fog lay on the face of the ocean We could discern nothing at Len yardS dis Lance from the vessel's side.

Disheartened at Ilknew not what, I was about coining down when I chanced to look directly Ai. tern. Almost directly in our wake, but fart astern of us lay an object, which oy thad ' of glass, I made out to be an opert boat.' I could not discern anything in it, and it ap peared to lie like a lbg upon the Water. The gig was soon lowered according to My orders. and a mate and a boat's crew were dispatched, to inspect the boat aslit lay far astern. I felt quite Unequal to going myself, so agitated . was I, but Ilhad pres euce of mind enough to order some brandy and nourishment suitable-to the; sick and' famished to be brought upondeCk.: I felt as assured that. my visitor was there as if I 'had seen .din in the boat; kit whether leave or dead dar44.l uat-to TESTS.-•$1150 PER Allll\loll, Twice I had been summoned, and twice 'I had neglected the attmtnnbs.

A few moments, and I heard approaching footsteps, and down the stairs • waS brought, with the assistance of some of the crew, my vi itor for the fourth time; but now really and truly in the flesh. He WaS suppurted in the arms .of the mate, but he held on to the hand-mil just, as I had seen him in the three visits. HIS left, hand hung loOsely at his side, and WAS bandaged up just as I had observed on the three occasio la of the spectre's visits. We gave him .proper efreshment and ptit him to bed. He gradually revived, and in a few days was able to -tell us his story. He had been captain of a large vessel trad ing in the Pacific The crew had mutin .. ied, - and had cast him. adrift in the open boat, with nothing to eat but a few biscuit, which were thrown into the boat in deris• ion by one of the mutineers. When these were eaten he - had tiled to eke out life by eating his shoes, and 0 ith water wrung from his clothes after rain and heavy dews. he hadlnenched• in a manner 'his thirst. ' When found by the mate he lay extended in the bottom of the boat in a death-like swoon and owed hisiecovery, perhaps, chief . ly to the brandy which I hal sent in the gig.. In a few days more we assisted him or! deck, - Ca.par no sooner saw him than lit flew at him, and but for my interference %Veuld have torn him to pieces. During the, rest of the voyage we were obliged to keep the dog chained up. As soon as we percieved the boat the Dolphin had been put upon her former course, and now, with a fair wind, we again sped merrily on. I now felt. satisfied that omens and sign* were sometimes vouchsafed mortal men for certain grave reasons, and, though not perstitions, I still believe that they are more frequent than is usually supposed. As we neared- the prat for which we were bouta Captain Williams (for such was the name of my visitor) was one day sitting with me in the cabin, when he asked to see the chart, as ,he wished to pick out the 8pot ! where I had found him. I gave him au entirely new chart, and he busied himself' sharpening a pencil with which to murk the place, where he ! had so nearly lost his life. Suddenly I heard an exclamation from him, which 11;1 followed up by saying`. dear— , --., I an very sorry; but I have cut iry finger;and have dropped some blood on your new Chart, and see that, I. have soiled the very spot_Which I was go= ing to point out as that whereabouts yo•A found me.
