The following humorous story Is from that crucible of wit and satire, the Boston Evening Bulletin. THE MAN WITH A MOUTH. Angelina Skumblo was tho seventh daughter of ta rich fisherman, abiding on tho coast of Spratwlch—a wild, bleak uud.fitormy spot, of- teu tho scene of shipwreck and detftb.—The snug mansion of skipper Skamblo was locaied ono side of a valley that opened upon tho broad ocean. Behind it arose a vegetable garden adorned witli cabbage-heads, potato-blossoms, and here nnd there an elderberry busli by way of variegation. At its wings stood the burn and appurtenances, and an orchard of stunted quince trees. In front flowed a narrow knee- deep rivulet, skirted beyond with a fringe of burhorries, thistles and blue lilies; while above them towored n thick forest of firs. Tho house itself was like an oyster, tight, well filled, comfurtubje, somewhat polished in the interior, nnd withiil enclosing a “ pearl of great price''; though roughcast and weatherbeaten on the outside. Yot Miss Angelina had contrived to ornament its uncouth walls with trails of parasitical plains, that, clung to the main chance like politicians to the powers that be. Upon the wliolo the residence of Cupluin Skamblo, as lie was now styled, presented u tout ensemble quite refreshing to <he eyo that had previously wandered over the neighboring region. Among the gossips of tho vicinity, it was a very current opinion that tho old sonman, who had already settled large marriago portions up on his .6 elder daughters, must have obtained his wealth by other means than the curing of codfish and the pickling of mackerel. Some went so far as to say lie got it by muoncursing; others that ho had iound a largo pot of guineas buried among the sands of the beach ; and others, slill mere plausibly, conjectured that he had exiraccd it from the intestines ’ of a wreck that got on tho Poriwiuklo Shoal, hard by, some twenty years ugone. But tho secret was not to be fathomed ; it was two deeply inhumed within the besom of its siugle possessor—and as tho puhlick could only guqss, and surmise, and wonder, widiuut arriving at any sort of certainty or satisfaction, it is very evident that the fact had never been communicated even to tho fisherman’s wife. As to Miss Angelina, she neither cared nor thought about it. Immured in this rude and solitary vale, she knew not the worth nor the want of riches—she had never adopted the advice of I'oor Richard, aud as certained the value of money by trying to bur- row some. Site had attained Iter 17th year,' without having laid her eyes on moru than elev en fcatlierless bibeds of the masculine gender, including her father, her brotliei in iatv, the parson, and his nephew—tho latter of whom was most murderously in love with lie;,. In deed, although us uncultivated ns the cliffs and forests by winch she was sui rounded, she was albeit more beatifttl than—Reador! be kind enough to think of the prettiest being thou hast ever beheld, not only amidst the sober realitias of existence, but in thy most folitiout and romantic nigliimates. Though tho minis er’s nephew, as we have beforo telated, was in a piedicamtnt of olfoc- tionato desperation; still tho sentiment knowtt in vulgar life by the name of love, had never yet ctept in among the fancies of Miss Angelina Skatnhle. Her greatest delight consisted m wandering along the strand, gathering speci mens of pebbles, shells and soawced—or in tending her honeysuckles and creepers, as they stretched their storks and fibres, through the sunshino, along the corners and windowfrumes of her paternal domicil. One day, in her cus tomary ramble on tho seaside, after a long continuance of wind blowing off shore, when tho tides Imd receded far below their usual boundary, site observed a huge shell, partly concealed in the sea grass, upon die very bor der of the briny element. Considering it u prize of no ordinary magnitude, she advanced wi.k greedy ioteniion to make it Iterown. As she stooped to grapple the treasure, which was evidently nothing more than an immense clam, tho testaceous monster oponed its valves, sigh ed dismally, “Alt!” and sunk irretrievably into the subjacent mire. Poor Angelina went'home in tears, with that enormous mouth continually yawning before the eyes of her imagination. Night alter night she dreamed of it—day after day, she sighed despondingly in the same melancholy and well remembered tone, “Alt, Alt!” She had hoard of love; and now, as settled in her own mi ltd, she felt it. Thus passed several weeks, where in nothing ocrturlCd tho disappointed maiden’# sensorium, buMtie lamented submarine -appari tion—or rather disapparition—until one mem orable fourteenth of February, sovemeen hun dred and odd, when a tremendous snowstorm raged over tho faco of the country, like an ele- had lung since disjoin.eil its hinges. But, as he rugged veteran was about to spfuk, the skip per raised Ins thumb m token of silence, and the tur’s clapper came together l.ke an alliga tor's. All suits of comforts were immediately provided, and after remaining a week or two, it was announced in the newspapers that Rich ard Sinve, aged 57, had espoused Angelina Skanible, aged 17. True, after becouiuig some what more acquainted with the world, lady Shivo repented of her fantastic choice ; but these afliiirs belong not to the story ; which ends badly enough: for tho parson’s nephoVv drowned himself in the very cavity m tda by the mysterious shellfish in its unkind descent.

She lifted the latch, and a half smoth ered seaman, dripping with britie^ entered with out ceremony. About his person there was nothing remarkable, save a mouth that extend ed from whisker to whisker, and gave to Ins profile the semblance of a tinman's shears. She asked if he had been shipwrecked—and when ho opened his mandibles, ejaculating “Alt !”— the sight nnd the sound fell upon her senses like rays of fruition upon the almost blighted blossoms of hope.
