The following story was told as an actu al fact by a sailor, who solemnly affirmed that be knew it to be true. We have tie story as be related it: I was on board a slave ship bound to the coast of Africa. I had uiy misgivings about the business, aad I believe others had tberu too. We bad passed tbe Straits of Gib raltar, and were lying off Barbary, cce clear, blight evoniug, when it came my turn to take the helm. The ship was becalmed, and everything was silent as the day after tbe deluge. The wide monotony of water varied only by the glaucings of the moon on the crest of the waves, made me think the old fables of XeptuDe were true, and that Amphithrito and ber Naiads were sporting on tbe surface of the ocean, with diamonds in their hair. These fancies were followed by tbe thought of my wife, mv children and my home; and all were wildly enough jumbled together in a delicious state of approaching slumber. Suddenly I heard above my head a lend, deep, terrible voice call out, 'Stand from under!' I started to my feet—it was a customary signal when anything was to be thrown from the shrouds and mechanically I sung out the usual an swer, 'Let go/ But notbiug came. I looked up into tbe shrouds—there was no thing there. I searched the deck, and found that I was alone. I tried to think it was a dream, but that sound, so deep, so slern, so dreadful, rung iu my cars like the bursting of a cannon. In the utoruiug, I told tbe crew what I had heard. They laughed at me, and were all day long full of their jokes about Breaming Tom. One fellow among them was most unmerciful ia Lis raillery. He was a swarthy, malignant looking Spaniard, who carried murder in bis eye and curses on his tongue; a daring aud lordly man who bcasied of crime as if it gave Litn pre eminence among bis fellows He laughed longest and loudest at my story. 'A most uncivil gboat, Ton:,' said Le, *wncu such seeing and fee'.iog, as well as hearing.' T'ue sailers all joined with him, aud 1 ashamed, was glad to be silent. The nest night Dick Burton took tbe helm. Dick bad nerves like au ox, and smews like a whale; it was little be feared on eart'u or beceatb it. The eiock struck one. Dick was leaning his head on the helm, as be said, thinking nothing of uie or toy story, when that awful voice again called out from tbe shrouds, 'Stand from uuucrl' Dick darted forward like an Indian arrow, which tbev say goes through and through a buffa lo, and wings on its way as if it had not left death in the rear. It was an iustant ot more before be found presence of mind enough to call out, go!' Again noth ing was seen—viotbtug hesrd. leu nights iu succession, at one o'clock, the same un earthly sound rung through tbe air, ma king our stoutest sailors quail as if a bullet shot had gone through their brains. At last we grew pole when it was spoken of, and tbe worst of ns never went to sleep without saying our prayers. For myself, I would lave been chained to the oar al! toy life, to bare got out of that vessel. But there we were, in the vast solitude ol ocean and this iuvisible being was with us. No one put a bold face on the matter tut An tonio the Spaniard. He laughed at our fears, and defied Satan himself to terrify lum. However, when it was his turn at i'uc belui, be refused to go; several times, un der tbe pretence of illness, tie was excused from a duty which all ou board dreaded. But at last tbo Captain ordered Antonio .0 receive a round uoien of lashes every night, until he should consent to perform his share of the unwelcome office. For awhile this was borue patiently, but at length he cahed out, 'I may as welt die one way as the oth er. Give me over to the ghost.' That night Antonio kept watch ou the deck. Few of tbe crew slept, for expecta- j tiou and alarm had stretched our nerves up- OS the rack. At one o'clock tba roice oil- j led out, 'Staud from uuderl' 'Let gol' j screamed tbe Spaniard. This was answer- I el by a shriek of laughter, and suoh laugh- j Ut'. It seemed as if the Ceuds answered 1 each other troiu pore to po: % and the bass ; was bowled iu hell. Theu eauie a suddcu crash upon the deck, as if our musts ant! spars had fallen. We all rushed to Abe j spot, aud there was a cold, still, gigantic | corps*. The Spaniard said tt was luwwa j from the s broods; a:.d when ho looked up- j on it L* ground his tomb like a madman.— 'X know hinj,' gciay.nrd he. 'I s;ab**l hint j aith'U cu beer's nail of t üba, -r.d drank h:s I blood for breakfast.' I We all ft.wid ugrn'st at th* ironitw. 1* 1 fearful whirrs "w* askei what should be 4 ** •*•••* * v ■- • • ■ done with the t;dy. Finally we agreed j that the terrible "ght must be removed j from us, and hidden in the sea. Four of j as attempted to raise it; but human strength j was of no avail—we might as well have ! tugged at Atlas. There it lay, stiff, rigid,' heavy, and as immovable n if it had form ed part of the vessel. The Spaniard was furious; 'Let uio lift him,' said he,'l lifted him once and can do it again. I'll teach him what it is to come and trouble me.'— lie took the body round the waist and at tempted to raise it. Slowly and heavily the corpse raised itself up. Its raylcss eyes opened—its rigid arms stretched out 1 and clasped its victim in a close death grap- i pie, and rolling over the sides of the ship, they tottered an instant over the waters — then, with a plunge, they sank together.— , Again that laugh—that wild, shrieking iaagh—was heard on the winds. The sail- j urs bowed their beads and put up their ' hands to shut out the appalling sound. I took the helm more than once after, . but wc never again heard iu the shrouus, j •ritand from under!' PIERCE PUNGEXT'S PEANUT'S— HOOPS. Little did Pierce Pungent think, when he trundled his hoop sixty years ago. that he was playing with the petticoats of a future generation!—We had certainly beard our Aunt Pearl say that the fashionable ladies of her youtb bad certain whalebone expac- ! ders, but we maintain that the genuine Loop ' never has been io active operation before now! Boys iu olden time, spoke in the spirit of prophcy, when they cried : Couie with a hoop, And come with a call, Come iu your petticoats, Or conic not at all!

Francois Ravel has given walking up altogether. He lives on flying leaps. Gown oilman Wild practiced his famous summersault Ircm FreetaoDt to Fillmore by jumping through his wife's skirts. Colonel McArdic assured Broughiuau the other night at the Bowery Theatre, that a dozen women in the fashionable costume, marching aloug iu 6le or coimun, would a: a distance, look like a regiment, and a but* talion might easily retire and reform behind a Belle of Broadway. And just fancy, observes Colonel Harper, bow easily a small detachment might he smuggled into un enemy's town under a woman's modern petticoat. What the wooden horse was tc Troy, oue of these great v lialebone pettieoats might be to some modern beleagured City. As to a lover hidiug under a lady's skirt, it would be a solitude for its easiness. . It is a nice calculation, bow many square miles a hundred fashionable ladies would occupy, if they ever became squatters.
