He was sitting on the I oarch of the t ong,,,___attired_,--as wit out any badge of rank. The woman ap proached him. and sitting down, commenced to converse familiarly, telling him, after a while, that she had the largest turkey in the country, which she wished to present to Gen. Sedgwick; and asking it he knew how she could manage to 'see the General. He re plied that the General was not in his . tent, and it was uncertain when he would be there. He then added, confidentially, "have you ev er seen Gen. Sedgwick?" She answered in the negative, "1 thought not," said the Ge neral, "or you would never have brought a turkey to present to him." "Why not ?" said the madame. "Because he is the crustiest old bachelor in the army. He hates women, and deserv es no favors from them. Moreover he ab hors turkeys." "Well I never heard that before,- but I suppose you know him." "No one in the army knows him better.•:-- And if I were in ' your place, I would not think of offering the old fellow a present." "Now that is too bad; I raised 'This tur key on purpose for him; but I don't want, to trouble him, if you think he would not like it." • "You had better say nothing about it," said the General, "and if you like I'll buy -the-turkey." After some further conversation, the pur chase was completed at an unusually large price; and at the request of the buxom ven der, the General wrote an order ton the pur veyor ter the stipulated quantity of grocer ies. 'The turkey was delivered to a servant, and the General banded over the order, and 'walked toward his tent, The Virginia dame examined the writing, slowly. Upon recog nizing the signature she turned savagely to a staff officer who had overheard the conver sation, and exclaimed: "There! why did you let me make such a fool of myself e, The End of the World. fio long and earnestly has the near rip pioach of the end of the world been preach ed, that it will, perhaps, be gratifying , -to know that the• correct day and hour has fin ally been arrived at and published.

While walking_on-Goat-Island .itira — parlies, one of them dropped her parasol, which slid some fifteen or twen ty feet down the bank of. the river. Mr. Ruggles went down and picked it to, but on attempting to retiarn, the bank 'being steep. and the groutid - hard, lost his footing and fell down to the very brink of the precipice, which at'this point is eighty or ninety feet high. Here he caught hold of the roots of an upturned tree the trunk of which hangs over the abyss. The shook caused the tree to shake violently, and it appeared on the point of falling over the 'precipice. The la dies shrieked and called for help, but no as. sistande was at hand.. A movement on the part eflMr. Ruggles, or a gust of mind. seem ed sufficient to cause the tree to fall. At this critical moment one of the ladies took off her basquine and skirt, cut them in strips, got shawls and other articles of clothing from the rest of the party, tied them together, fastened a stone to the rope thus formed, and let it down to Mr, Ruggles, who taking hold of it, walked slowly up the bank. It was a moment of fearful suspense.' The ropo was held firmly by the ladies above, but it might untie or break, and the fall of a hundred feet on the rocks below must be the-inevita ble result, When Mr. Ruggles reached ter ra firma his fair rescuer, who bad shown such presence of mind, fainted, and was ta ken-home-in an unconscious state." A (Lub-Letter.'

The master at once consented; and altar writing a long and flowery epistle, in the most approved love letter style, and in faultless chirography, road it over to the ex pectant ‘darkey.' lle seemed much delight ed with it, and allowed his master to fold and almost finish directing it, when a shade-pas sed over his countenance; and looking ex ceedingly puzzled, he burst forth: 'Oh, Lord!
