The writer of the sketch says the above
is no fiction, and the principal actor even
non resides in New Orleans, a talented
and csteemed member of the bar; and often
relates the above sketch of his adventures
to his friends, to show how dearly he paid
fur the excess of one night at the rcstau

Sea my Hat off -The old phrase of
'saw my Ieg utI' bas been superseded in
our diggins. For fear its origin should not
be known to posterity, we will give it.
Sine reeks ago, several young chaps,
without letting their wamma know they
were out,' went a chubbing down toNeuse
River. To get at the fihl-beds better,
they got into a canoe, am.d pushed oil into
the middle of the stream. The current
running pretty strong, they were carried
down the stream at the rate of ten knots
an hour. At this junction, one cries out,
.you Abe, put in that pole and keep her
right end foremost. if we don't get to Noo
bon to-night I'll eat Sail's horn comb!'
another somewhat frightened, whines out,
- Mose what ye reccon Granny would say
if she sec'd us now ? we will go right

said Abe very composedly. 'You are
right cousin Abe,' said Jonah, * for dad al.
lers told us when wo did any thing, to go
the whole hug, tail and bristies, and I think
we ire -comic' the doings to a Picerty.'
Round and round swung the old canoe,
ever and anon, and then she would shoot
down the stream like a race horse.
Presently she run up high and dry on a
rock, and tine end swung near the limb of
a tree, and Abe's hat having a hole in the
tol, he was caught by his hair in the bran
ches. When he roars out, 'boys if you

Tetotalism Foremer.-A jolly old friend
ofours, relates the following good story,
which certainly coitains au cirellent
moral.
Sonic years ago two individuals risiding
in Jcfer.ou county, btarted to Augusta
with a load of fowls. They stopped at
the first grocery on the road and supplied
themselves with n half gallon of whiskey.
It was not long before they were overtaken
by a traveller, riding a very poor horse.
Tto men of the chickens had already be.
gan to feel rich, and their philanthropic
feclitgs to ex pand. Tht- trauger was ask
ed to take a *horn,' to which he readily
agreed. The party travelled on together
for sometime drinkig and conversing. It
was finally proposed and agreed to, that
the stranger hitch his horse to the hind
part of the cart and ride with the chicken
men. The atiamal was according tied by
the neck with a rope, anal fastened to the
chicken wagon. They had not proceeded
more th.tn a milae in this way, before they
discovered thteir cart borsc pulling very
hard. Thec whip was applied, however,
nd lie kept amaving until they camne to a
retty steep bhll, when the horse stopped.
rle party went round to push at the
weelia, when it was discovered that the
traveller's horse 'a as as dead azs a hammer.
and htad been dragged by the neck several
hundred yards, a'e being chooked to
detht,
They soon proceed on their way not fm
getting to touch the overjoyful oceasionally.
They camtped tnear a creek swamp hor the
night. Next morning the cart laorse was
missing. It was arranged that the two
chicken men should go itn search of the
horse while the ,tranger remained to take
care of the earl and chickens Shortly af
ter the traveller had been left alotie, he
toucked the jug so ofien thiat ha camte to
the conclusion that the chickeos must be
very muach itt want of water; and finally
turned theta out to -drive them to the creek.
The chickens were no sooner at liberty than
they began to fly it) all directions, cackling
nt crowing with joy, that they were once
mtore at liberty. Not a few perched them
selves in the tops of tall pitnes and pioplars,
to afl'ord themselves a better observation of
the marne' res of their deliverer, who was
running about, shaking the bushes like a
madan, and show, shew, shew, shew,
showinzg at every breath. Abotathis time
the other t wo men returned after an unsuc
cessful hunt for their horse. They arrived
at the citap just to time to see t'heir cart
consumed bty fire, it having catught from
the camp fire while the strangen was enga
ge in watering the chickens.
There sat tha jug, solitary and along,
the cause of all the trouble. The party
remained as lung as the whiskey lasted,
but what become of them afterwards de

When first I saw the gleaming crest
OffTemp'rance silver star,
I watch'd it till its radiance blest
Illum'd the world afar:
It rose in glory and its rays

And proise gave of happier days
On Earth-and hopes of Heaven.
I mark'd its glory-beauning light,
As up the lieaven's it sprung,
While o'er the Earib the clouds of night
No longer darkly hung;
And those bright rays of heavenly birth,
To erring manas were given,
To wean has spirit front the Earth,
And point hs waf to Heaven.

THE MELON SEEDS.
The .Mlills Point Ilerald gives a sketch of
great interest relative to a lawyer of this
city. It is a colunr. long, and we must
condense it. It relates that at a restaurant
in dais city, one night was assembled a
party of young Creoles. at the invitation of
fine of their number who had just taken
out a licence to practice law in Louisiaua.
The hosa. after drinking much ntine, got
huisacrou'. nad lkiked round, anxious to
flnd somebody to inaul. lie at last dis

whot he commenced firing melon seels
fromt bet ween the thluamb. nad fing-r. The
first one hit lim on the left ear. The se
cond hit his fand, and the third rebounded
fr..m his breast.
"Yaou are a bad shot," said the old man,

that it nas dilicult for the lutau to get

the Edna shoved out from the shore. ier

-I was lomking at the Edna when the

some little time before lte accident, and I
did not think she had unusually high steam.

soon as the stage came up, Merrell caIled
