I've been tcudin' a furnace nigh upon twenty-seven ycur6. *1 fired pp the little steamer I'eurl every trip, Grst to last, thrco yours to a day ; and how I'm so exact as Co the time, is owing to its being- one of my birth duys when I took, her furnace in charge, and auotber of rny birthdays wb?'> I wai bh?wu up on her a few miles above Sacrameoto. I can't tell much about the fault of that s..jiish-iip, although I have my suspi cions ; but sioce Mr. 1)., our engineer, was picked up in email pieces ou that occasion, I uevcr will mention 'cm out of respect to h?s memory.* At tbp time of that bust up, I am ashamed to tell that I behaved very awkward, it being the (Jrst j but I got sort o* used to 'em afterward W Ut?; a mnu gets blo.vcd about a huti died \nrds or so, as I was tkeu, and find* himself landed about the ttiles ou the river bank, witlj box'-s and barrels of provisions scattered around him, enough to feed him for his natura} life, it ain't to his credit to sit blaring half an hour, w. idering what's happened, more par inular'lie heiug the fireman of the boat, imi the engineer killed, together with hogs, sheep, and cattle, bendea a mutter id' twenty or thirty pus engersj.big and liltic.

It's a bad chance for me, though, when the bilur is btlow, and the eugineer careless aud .."A desperat^,, as was the awe #h*ifc.JU fired on the C, about hi teen years ago. I urn toing to tell what I Icqow about that afair, come what may. Yiu Bco, just while I was kindling up lor our ,trjp dowu to San Francisco, I heard that Mr. Davis, the ciiginecr, had left the boat sudden, in a hull', ou account of the captain's saying ho didu't carry steam cuough to cook as egg. Now', I know Mr. Davis wasu't any coward?only very particular aud care ful ; and I heard him say more than once he never had a bust up, and never would, and also that before he'd carry steam above his judgtoeut anywhere, he'd give up bis billet. Mr. Davis leaving, therefore, set roc feeling very uV^'P at heart. It looked to me he gave up his billet too ready, being a pour man, and h iving & family to feed 1 set it dowu he didu't have much faith in our bilcr, it being a high pressure, and about ten years old. What made it mure particular trying on me was my wile aip) children Coming aboard to go down with mc to San Francisco. Katy and the youngsters never looked brighter and more loving like than then, aud I hope it's not say ing more than I oug)tt, that ijae mother and them smiling, rosy children might be took for f.he captain's, and not as belonging ?o the. smutty fireman in the hold. 1 ,cau't help the wa%.er com jug into my eyes w)te;i I think how beuuti i ful them precious ones locked playing around on the freight deck and peeping down at me through the hatchway. Well, just before we were teudy to start, the captain brought d >wu a new engineer, Mr. 1 tippet, to his quarters, which was near the furnace, and 1 heard hittl say that Mr. Da'is was the bigge.-l o d woman hs ever saw in regard to carrying steam, aud th-.u the opposition, with their old tuos, was always beating our time. Then the captain and Mr. TrippOt began talking verv quiet aud .-ccr I .-I ike, which set me listening close to hear what was in the wind. A a tu'' discovery .of what ipus g<'ing on came to my cars 1 Weakened tiku a baby. 1 aui ' what may bo culled a puwurdl) man, having been in many tig lit places lit .. y lime, and coming out Without a IIinch, but somehow the images of Kal< aud tin: .children kept passing bo^k and loiih bet?re my eyes, aud wilted .ill the CfoUi'iigC oui of me. Tue truth, be told l?t that the cap t. in and our new engineer being despe rate hj.oris, like most ad sich men iu them days ou the river, had made the biggest kiud of u joint bejt, uubokuown .to tho owucrs, that wo would beat the opposition ou that trip; aud when I heurd Trippct wbisporing and shaking hands with tho captain, sayipg he would bring the C. into Sun Francisco ahead of the opposition, or burst her, the words sounded very heavy in my cars, out of rogard to nty precious ones that wem abuurd. I gut the knowledge of all this about fire minutes bet?re the Hues were cast off, and I was hoping to get a #word with Kuty in time to send her und the babicj ashore, but just as I turned to go up the ladder Trippot caught me by the collar, giving me a savage look, und saying it wus a bad tttue to leave tho furnace. lieing used to oi eying orders, I turned back to my work, and before I hud time to take a secoud thought the pilot pulled the bell to start the engine. Ju<t whilo we got under way my little ones stood peeping and smiling at me behind tho hatchway rail, and^Trip pet, seeing me pretty uftcu turned to ward them, says : "Whose brats are they ?" "They're nobody's brats," says I, a little sh trp. 11 Well," says Trippet, "you just 'teud to y our 1'uruaee and keep down your bristles, or may bo they'll be orphans before they get. off this boat." Aftgr sayifg which hc ooes UP ladder aud lets down the hatch door, which shut us up alone together with no daylight except what come iu through u couple of dead-light. I had been coaling very heavy just before, and was standing with my shovel iu hand, measuring Trippet with my eyes, aud having n very big "mad" rising in my breast, which I was trying tho best 1 cpuld to keep down. Wo hadn't unw been more than twenty mir.ules under way when the engine was working under a full head, and the ^evolutions increas ing every minute. TJ,C extra strain up ou the joints of the old hull wus settiug her whimpering and groaning terribly* The pjay of the padles was gotiing so i fh$t the emtid got changed into m steady roar, jiist like thunder asouud in around us, and catching a peep through tho dead lights, 1 saw the suds Idling h'gher aud heavier than I ever ' saw before. i We were streaking through the wafer at a tearing rate, with tip: guagc show ing tweuty pounds more steam than com mon. While Trippet, payj;;g no heed to that, was running btck and iorth to the dead lights, measuring the distance of the hunt ahead. 1 was setting great hopes ou the safety-valve going off in I tiwc to tafcc the strait) from the bilor, , and was feeding the furnace rather moderately, when he turned on me, very savage like, and bid me cram in all the coal 1 could, which I did, strictly obey ing orders, Ijaving a big faith ;j the valve. The old boat was now flying along fearful, and 1 could hoar a great CXCfto nietit on deck, oi passengers running hack and forth, shouting on accouut of our just passing the quarter of the ('.. which I could see wasn't iu for an easy beat, ns she was having a regular young Vesuvius escaping out of her funnel, ami was making a desperate push to letve us astern There was just then a strange sound iu the biler, which scut a tremble over nie j but settled dqwn all quiet whpu I fouyd jt yas the tafety-val ve grumbling, und fixing'itself to go oft \ but Trippet, who was wild and anxious beeiuse ihe othei boa*, for ihn ja?? quarter of uu hour, wasn't letting us gain an ijjcji, grabbed a crowbar and. running up to the valve, pried it down, cursing und swearing, while the sweat wan standing |u drops ul! over his face. Now, when I saw this thing a-dxdng, my leelings burst out lighting high. My shovel went out of my hand, aud lauded at the ?kr bide of the coal byukcr, aijd I j ra ? to the furnaCk, doors, and opened 'em all wide to check the steam. "This 'ere thing has gone about far enough," says I. "You might, be willin' to take n desperate rink of h ? 1 for a pile of shinit;' dollars, and squeeze the old lca-|iettle to ihe bursting pint; but you haven't got a wile aud babies aboard, like 1 have, and in consequence no more steam while I've got wind and muscle to hinder," sayH I. 'irippot's temper was a-showdng in his face, while he was u-tying down the val" o with his cravat, which he had taken in a big hurry fmn> his- neck, and, before my words had got fairly out of my mouth, he sprang at uic like a tiger cat. I met hi in without o flinch. He was tremendous powerful, and heavier thau me by fiftceo or twenty pound?, apd coming upon nie so suddfp, I went down nmoog the coals, Trippet atop, with both his big paws around ny throat, lie held his grip until I {ras ?s limp as a rat, and ono minute n ore would have finished me. But he, Ttein^ in such a big hurry to shut the furnace doors and set the steam amaking,-4eft me squirm ing, aud ran to tbc doors aud banged them all shut. When my senses camo back to mo Trippet was a-pilling ip^ftonl very heavy himself, and things- around was a-rour ing and straining terrsjple. I was half gone luny. I thought t heard my pre cious ones calling on tithe to save'em. A new strcugth came1* to me, aud I started for Trippet lib$ a madman. I got a good clinch this t?he, and we both struggled awful. My jjipes wouh1 cud with the great weight jjrud sirer a up on them, but I held af fect, until, by a suddeu trip, I brought him upon his back among the coa's. Grabbing ouc of the^ larger than my fist, I tlruck him a bJjMi above the ear, which stunned him. pX that he let mo out of his clutches. I upon my feet, but found myself too Jfczy and faint to reach the furnace, so f-Jtaggercd over to tho dead light to catch a breath of air. I saw the other boat waPdropping astern, and I could hear our liaascngors cheer ing and hollowing like.^:ad. Just then a strangeSooisc came to my cars like a death-knoll*? I saw the furn ace in a scaplet-red leat, aud I made a push to reach tho vuivc. I only got two or three steps whsStl weakened and sank down upon my'tmnds and knees. It wns only about tern .'cot'from me. and I was creeping on al^fottta to get to it. U went off I I rm.::tuber the terrible crash, and my beinjjjsjprkd like a can eon ball, surruunded ij steam, splinters and smoke. I knew nothing a'.^ut that for dajo. Whon I camp to ?) J/eelf, lyiug in the hospital, they tehi i.-AdL, about my wife and babies. I know'Ti poot smutty fire man's sorrows and agonios is nothing to you, but I can't help saying that the worst thing dpnc tome by that burst-up was letting mo out alive to be fretting all my days about the less of them pre cious ones. 4 Kt'cn Reminder I wish you could have known Squire Jonas Lufton?it would help you to ap preciate our story, ^xt I'll tell you 6S near as I can. He was a fat, flabby, heavy-featured man ol seventy-five, rich enough to own thousands of dollars hid den away in Saving* ba&k ti) ot);er Slates; and mean enough to swear returns to the Assessors, and to pick up his kind linga iu the glitters of the highways. And yet the old rat c mid be jolly ind though now, in his old age, ho was one of the tnnin sleepers of the church, he could tell, with a gusto of the mad pranks which he had cut in his youth. He stills practiced in the courts, aud held great honor in being the oldest living member of the Punlap County bar. 1 say he still practiced in tho courts, but h is busiuess was confined to looking after tho real nstatc aud probate interests of ancient pliepff}. Billy Walton kept the largest of our village stores. He was a young man just entering upon the active busitics ->r life, and bom his fcihor, ?:.,> kept stote before him, he had inherited good business rapacity, and had also learned many of the tricks ol trade. Among other things, he had learned ex actly how to estituuto the value of Squire Lofton's custom. As buflon had done in the time of the elder Watson, so he continued to do unto, the letter. He would cuter the store and salute tho pro prietor and bis customers as a self sat is fied father might gr*ct his children. Then ho would get off an old joke, and expend one of his greasy, guttural laughs Then ho would go to the raisin bor. and get a handful of raisins?then a cracker was taken from the barrel ?then a slice of cheese was appropriated. And thi.> proceeding the old rascal carried on day alter day, as he had (Jono it a long, leftg time; and to give the matter iho color of a joke, he would often when aware that tlie ke.eper was watching him, laughing ly remarked that tho things he had ta ken might bo charged to the town. "Charge this to the Town, Billy," he said as ho munchod away at an appl which ho had appropriated. At first, Billcy used to look glum at thool'i-ropo.i. ted order; but at length a change came over tho spirit of his nuntfearatious. aad it observed that when the old Squire issued his jocular uiandete of "Charge this to the Town," Bi)ly would go into his little counting-room and make an entry in his Day Book. At longth tho day of the Presidential Election arrived, and among tho first at tho polls was Squire Lufton. Ho was an ardent party man, of the old Hartford Convention stump, and believed in doing his whole duty to his country. As ho was about to deposit his vote ho wos interrupted by a peremptory voide ? "1 challenge Squire Luftoot vote;" He looked up and beheld Billy Wal ton standing by the side of the ballot box. "Challenge my vote?" he gasped com pletely dazed by the suddenness and the audacity of the thing. "Yes, sir," said Billy, "1 challenge your vote!" "Wh wh-what d'ye mean?" "I challuugc the right of a Pauper to vole." Lufton thought he saw a joke, and he tried to laugh, but Billy cut him short with? "Squire Lufton, you are a Town Pau per by your own act aud choice. At sundry times during the past year I have furnishedyou with the means of suston. ance, and at your own request have chrtr ged the items to the Town I think lha I is sufficient to constitute a pauper." There was hardly a man in the hall who did not at once appreciate the thing; and the uproarious laughing and stamp ing and clapping told how keenly it was relished. And, to cap the- climax, tho old skin?intdidroally lose his vote. Ilav. ing enjoyed his jokoarsd given his remin der, Billy would gladly have withdrawn his ridiculous charge; but Luftou could nul stand the press. In tho midst of the wild outburst of merriment he slunk away, and the minority on that day was reduced justone vote lower than it migh, otherwise have been. But tho lesson to Jonas Lufton was a healthy one; and bo sure the result was a very saving one to the traders of the village. The iSn&e's Reproof. Alhnkcm, the sage, whom all people humored for his gnat witdom aud his many virtues, sat in the market-place giving instruction. A youth named Soyd, who had recently inherited vast w ?hlt, passed that way. and shared with the old teacher tho attention of the mul titude.) "Sec," cried Soyd, "how my good for tune hath lifted me in n day to claim a public attention which Alhnkcm h'ath been long years in gaining." And he smiled proudly as he spoke. Alhakem had heard his words, ami motioned for him to draw near. "My son," said the sage, "let me speak unto tlioo a table. Once upon a time a g<-urd wound itself around a lofty palm, and iu a few week.- climbed to its very top. ?? How old mnyest thou be ?" asked the gourd. "A hundred years," answered the palm. " A hundred years !" eiied the gourd, in derision. "Only look ; 1 have grown as tall as thou art in fewer days lltun thou COUUtest years !" "1 knew that very well," the palm I made answer. "Kvery suminar of my I lile a gotinl has climbed up around me. as proud as thou art, and as short-lived as thou wilt be!" Soyd heard, and went away with Ilia bead lowered.. ?W? ? ? ? <?mmm i They tell "hard" snake pto;ies in Kentucky. This i> the latest : A man in Butler County got very drunk ou a quart of whiskey, and lay in the woods all night. The next morning a dead rattlesnake was found ah tut three liet from him, which had evidently bitten the drutikcu man several times during ti.e night, ;>s wo? shown by the impression of tho teeth iu tho flesh. The bites did no futthcr injury than to cause a swelling and inflammation, which soon passed away, but tho menu whiskey in tho man's system van too much for the snake, and he is supposed to have died immediately altar inflicting the wounds. Iu an article on n recent fair iu that city, the editor of a Maeon pnper, says a brother editor took a valuable prem ium j but an unkind policeman made him put it right back whero Ito took it from Romance aud Reality. A correspondent of tho Boston Travel ler, at Newport, overheard the following couversation : "No, Harry, dear, wo must part. I think it is awful cruel of pa, but you know ho never encouraged you. He says you are nice enough, but that a young man now-a-days must be able to support a wife in the stylo to which she had been accustomed, and-thatyou know you could not do, dear.

"But dou't you love me V* tho young mauly fellow at her side asked, with a twinge aud a tremor in his voice ; "you know you have given nie cause for think ing so, aud hoping." "Why, yes, of course I do. How silly ! Love you j you know I love you, aud it is really too bad that 1 can't have my way, and marry you instead of Gmj. l'a snight support as as well as not, but be won't aud you kuow I never can exist without the comforts I have always had. 1 must have my dresses and my diamonds, my horses and my parties, aud move iu the same circle of society as I do now, and those things, you kuow, you could uevcrgivomc. No, Harry, dearest. I shall always love you, and you won't he vexed, will you ; but it is better that wc should part, and you won't try.to sco me much, will you, til! after I'm married ?" "Vexed! Oh, no ! not at you. But let us go in, and then I'll "?sy good-bye to you and my hopes together." His voice was hard, and strove to be cool and unconcerned, but it trembled a ljttle, at.d his face \y.is very white as they passed me. But her smile \yas as sweet and self-satisfied, and her eye as clear as though she had not wrecked a young man's happiness, and thrown him aside for a brainless jumping-jack with money, and as though her lifo was not to be a vapid, tiresome rouud of/ash ion able emptiness, with neue of love or usefulness to sweeten it. The Last Resort, Two young mcu were overtaken by a squall iu Dclowarc Hay while sailing in a yatch. At Nazascth Methodist church en Tv.'<lth Street, Philadelphia, they had occasionally been present at public worship. From the way things looked, the capsizing of their boat was very ine vitable. "Bill," said one to tho other, "this is a serious business; can you pray':" "No, I can't; I've heard Joe Quirin do it, and I've listened to Bill Tost, but I can't do it myself/' "Well, you can sing a hymn, cant you For Heaven's sake do something." o, i can t siug hero, llowcau i. sing when this boat at any moment may drown us both:"' ,'Wcll, wc must do something Vulig j ous. If you can't pray aud can't sing ets take up a collection." To this Hill consented. Iu his om pnnion's haf he deposited thirteen pen nies, a corkscrew aud a brokenbladed knife. As be did this the wind lulled, and the boat mude a successful land ing. Two women lately entered a Pennsyl vania bar room where their husbands were enjoying their needle gun cocktails any made the scene enjoyable for a few minutes. They broke tunblers, upset tables, rammed their fist through the fcqttora of a tin pitcher, threw n cat into the cider barrel, and put kero sene iu the whiskey. After which they took their husbands by the n^so and led them hone. Such is to bo the result of the sixteenth amendment.

They could afford it, and they would just like to see how it would go. So they went to the St. Charles Hotel, and ordered the Tory best dinner that that establishment could afford. When they had eaten to their complete and entire satisfaction (and ??* probable astonishment of the waiters,) they called for their bill. The waiter in attendance misunderstanding them, and, supposing that they wanted the bill of fare, laid it before them, with the wine list uppormost. "Whew, Billl" said Jerry; "here's, a bill. Just look at it! Here, yon add up one side, and ifH add up the other, and we'll see what the old th^ng coses to." So Bill added up the prices of wines on one sido of the list, and Jerry added, them up on the other, and they mado tho sum total 8584. "Wh-ew, Bill!" said Jerry; that's nigh all we've got.

He was walking up Charles street, a day or twq ago with a fair ballet girl, wheu he was suddenly confronted by his, duleiuca. He had talked to her qf a pretty sister, and evidently she supposed this to bo the person. She stopped, smiling, expecting an introduction, bat Barrick hesitated, loth to give it. "Your sister, I believe?" said the lady. "Ah, yea?no ! 4D0th?Jr person," saitj tho sorely troubled swaiu. "Not his sister, I assure you, interrup ted the ballet girl, "Jnjjccd 1?
