The State and Prospect of the Cotton
Trade.
In the month of April last, when the supply of Cot
ton was exciting universal attention, we gave
to<«ir readers a careiully prepared statement oi our
views, and we in ry now refer to the result, as some
evidence, that while we had examined, and
collected together a’l reliable infiatmuon and details,
we had no other bias than that which the importance
of the subject demanded. The events which have
oceu red since then have impressed our minds more
and more with the critical po.-ilion in which the Cot
ton trade of the country is placed, in its dependence
u|K>n each succeeding crop, even tor a sufficient sup
ply ; and though confident in the energy and indus
try of our manufacturers and u;>er«tive», we tear that
before long, that energy and industry are destined to
be cramped and limited by the want of a full and tree
supply oi Cotton.
Our estimate of the American Cotton crop, given in
detail of the several states, was as follows:
Estimate of L’pooi Times Actual crop from N. York.
of 15:h April, 1847. Lisi of 30th Sept.
740,000 New Orleans* •• 7U5.979
31O’uGO Mobile 323,402
13U.0U0 Florida 127,857
250,b00 Georgia 242,7.-9
330,tU0 South Carolina•• 35U,2U0
30 090 Virginia,&c.•* • 2U,052
1,770,000 1,770,334
Add Texas 8,317
1,778,651
We may add that when our estimate was formed,
the New York Cotton Tables gave an excess in re
ceipts of 50,000 bales, from which circumstance
many person* not acquainted with, or nut closely
watching the details atte ting the receipts at the va
rious Cutton ports, estimated the crop, at 2,400,000
bales. This was the figure given in some Manchester
circulars, which lor the present crop, ascend as high
as 2,800,000 bales.
Our estimate for the consumption of Great Britain for
the year 1647, wa51,(70,000 bales:
The actual quantity taken 1,103,998 “
And if at the present time, spinners held their usual
Hock, which in Messrs. Geo. Holl 4b Go.’s circular
is estimated at bO,UOO bales le-s than at the close of
1846, our figures would have been as near to the truth
as the cr.»p estimate.
'▼ e arrow ror the consumption of France and the
Continent, a total 0f625,000 bales.
And we find that the export to other
countries from the Unitt-d States
amounted t 0410,313
And from G. Britain 221,850
Less taken to Ireland-7,500-214,350-624,653 bales
We give these tables of our estimate and the actual
results, merely iu show what strict scrutiny every
thing relating to the Cutton trade undergoes ; and we
believe that m no part of the world whatever can a
better or more correct idea of the probable supply of
Cotton be formed than in Liverjiool. The brukers*
tables are compiled with a more than official exacti
tude; the interests ol buyers and sellers subject every
statement to the closest examination, and no expense
is spired in procuring the earliest and most exact in
formation; and in regard to the circulars which each
steamer brings from the several Cutton ports, many
are written w.lh an ahdity and care which sufficient
ly prove the jealousy of their writers as to their mer
cantile reputation lor correct and unbiased views.
If however, there may be any bias observable, it is
generally in favor ol the buyer from whose agents
t.irs.: circulars mostly emanate; and considering the
gteai importance of correct views as to the supply of
Uoitou, we caiinut conceite that any party ol credit
would knowingly and willingly print or circulate false
Ftatemeots. To indulge in extreme views on either
side IS a •rs{x»n-ibilily we would not willingly share ;
bin gem r illy there is more suprise excited by the cor
rective «rt‘ estimates than by the reverse. It would
how. v« r, be advisable, if some mode were established
wmeh might be entitled to general credit; and we
beiicv.- on h a result might be obtained through the
several < dinmbersof Commerce at New Orleans, Mo
bile, Chirlestun, &c., in the Hume way that thn Su
gar vr.i,. oi Luuixiaua is now arrived at to a single
h.»gc-h«-a«J. Ai each of these jiorts the great i ulk of
ih»- Co.r >n i, received by factors, who, ut the closeof
each picking season, could ascertain by circular from
the planters, their <><risiii ut-nix, the number of bales
each had mad»*. This w.mld t*e an easy and simple
operation, lor which a form might be drawn up by,
ami a re urn made at a certain pen<*d to the Chamber
oi Commerce, which, when collected together and
c<»mp*re«i wiih the fables oi preceding years, would
give a sufficient basis for id I ut supply.
if we turn irooi the past to the future, the prospect,
though somewhat brighter, is nut a cheering one fur
the cotton spinning and u*an*if'icluriug interests of
Gre.it Britain. e cttuld readily exchange that sys
tem under which the cofiMal fortunes of Lancashire
have gr >wn up'or smaller but certain profits, and
generally remuueiuted industry; but even tins we
scarcely ddre to hupe tor. Il is not tu t»c a struggle
for that control ut the c<>iion trade which we formerly
exercised, but one to m.iintaiii our prese .1 ground,
flic time Sai when our consumption of cotton exceed
ed 75 per cent, of the United States crop, but ihisper
centagr has been reduced until other nations divide
the crop equally with us, and with this change we
naturally to*c that exclusive control over prices, that
perpunderalmg influence which we exercised in the
producing market. If the continental and United
States mtnataciurem lake one-hail of the crop, their
demand must ailcct the other half, and the shorter the
fipply, the more will such coni|>et mon be lelt. The
consuinprion of the continent slowly but surely in

The coiufwirison ailurded by the past year is not ex
actly u j»i*4 out’, and rather shows wh.it our active ri
vals have done, than what we have not done. The
previous year hid xerii a larger but not a satisfactory
business; an iiiiinen»e addition had been made to our
manufacturing power, and wilt* singularly oae-stded
views all our capital and attention were direct
ed to the increase of consumption, hide thought
was bestowed on the still more important object, an
increaseo| production of the raw material, and the
opening up ol new, or extension of existing markets;
and it is U|»'n these grounds that we look upon the
prospect of our inanulacturvra as a doubtful one. In
regard V» production we hazaid little in giving our
itvcidvd opinion, that in the United Slates a decrease
is more pnibable than an increase; and such an opin
ion tales* dithcult of proof (han heretofore.
The crops tn the years '44 ’45 amounted to 4,425,012
And of 1346-'47 to 3*879 183
Showing a decrease of 545,824
This is a fact which speaks for I'selfj and is n<4
altogether Co be ascrit»ed to accidents of ecasoti or of
insects. But ilia object should have been to encour
age the growth, that >he annual increase of pro
duction might haw overbalanced any such accident.
The increase only c mid ha»« be» n brought about by
miking it the nnerrst of the c<*Uun-|4aniwr to extend
Ims cultivation ; but all acquainted with the Southern
State**, are aware that the teverve is the case, th.i: m

all opinions as to IM relative profits of those two ■’to

ton urty be so likewise, and should any great demand {

supply is to proceed.
The slocks of cotton in the ports of Great Britain
31st Dec. Last, were nearly 100.000 below the stocks
existing Dec. 31. 1846, and at Has moment there is
every probability of American descriptions of ail classi
fica-ions being under 200,000 bales, a circumstance
well calculated to excite uneasiness amongst all en- ,
gagedin the trade; and yet co-existent with this small
sti'.k our price." are below those which ruled with h
stock three times as large. However desirable low
prices may be, this anomaly evidently arises from an
undesirable and unhealthy |>osition. A depressed ex
port trade is but the reflex of stagnant imports, the de
struction of property by the currency principle. whi< li
to saturate, not the country, but the Bink r. turn with
gold, has given that commodity an artificial value at
the expense of every mercantile interest, and to the
serious ruin (even if temp>rary) of trade. Seeing the
small stocks of cotton in the hands of spinners every
where we should be inclined (<> estimate existing stocks
in Euroj eat 50,000 to 100,000 bales less than at this
time last year. In regard to our supplies from quarters
other .han America, werre inclined to look for a quan
tity equal to the imports in 1847, as the falling off in
Surats may be made up by increased receipts from
Egypt. In regard to th United States we are not yet
in possession </that detail which warrants our giving
a p<eitive opinion. We have always found the re
i ceipts at the Southern ports a fair criterion, ami, un
til these he received, we will merely add, that our pre
sent estimate ranucs between 2,000 0* Oar a minimum.
t and 2 200 ouo as a maximum. In regard to con
sumption, we find that the average of five years gives
to
France4ll.ooo bales.

: Giving a total likely to be maintained
this year of-740,000
And to w hich may be added for the U.
I States* 460 000
i 1,200,000
This, with our largest present crop eriiuiute, would
leave an insufficient supply of American < Jotton fi>r our
own consumption, and one which could only be increas
ed by a struggle in prices. Some assert the increase
>f steam-power now waiting to be called into nc ion

’f almost all allow it to be equal, esen under a ten hours’
h bill, to the lar/est weekly consumption yet attained
und<*r the pie»i«ms regulation. Il this be so, it is evi-
dent either that supply tube the limit, or that a gene
ral rrsumption of full ime ii out of lhe question, and
we presume partial work must ever be taken as a to
ken of the iiegnive advantage of avoiding losses, ra
ther than the more positive one of making profits.

From the N. O. Delta.
BURIAL OF A VOLUNTEER-by park benjamin
’Tis eve ! one brightly beaming star
Shines from the eastern heavens afar,
To light the fmt.-teps of die brave
Slow marching to a comrade’s grave.
The northern wind has sunk to sleep,
The sweet south breathes, as, low and deep,
The martial clang is heard, the tread
Os those who bear the silent dead.
And whose the form, all stark and cold,
Thus ready for the loosened mould —
Thus stretched upon so rude a bier?
Thine, soldier, thine—lhe volunteer!
Poor volunteer! lhe shot, the blow,
Or fell disease hath laid him low—
And few his early loss deplore—
His battle done, his journey o’er.
Alas! no find wife’s arms caressed.
His cheeks no tender mother pressed,
N<» pitying soul was by his side,
As, lonely in his tent, he died.
He died—the volunteer —at noon ;
At evening came lhe small platoon ;
And soon they’ll leave him to liis rest,
With sods ufton bis manly breast.
f Hark to their fire! his only knell,
i More solemn than the passing bell;
i For, nh! it tells a spirit flown
a Wiihout a prayer ursi^h —alone!
His deeds and fate shall fade away,
I Forgotten since his dying d«y,
Ami never »n the roll«I lame
Shall be inscribed his humble name.
> Alas! like him, how many more
Lie cold on Hi > Grande’»• shore ;
How many green, unnoted graves
Are tH.rdered by those turbid waves!
Sleep, soldier, sleep—from sorrow free,
Ana sin ami strife —'ti« well with thoe —
’Tis well though not a single tear
Lament the buried volunteer.
BURIAL OF THE SEED.

Now, inv seed, thy grave is made !
In thy silent climrib* r laid.
Thou mavst slumber li^ht;

On thy pillow nightly.
Could’st only thou, gentle one,
t’o'dd’st thou feci what I have done,
Thou would’si whisper weeping,
i “ Ah green earth and bright blu< skies,
• Nevermore may meet my eyes,

Sweetly sleep! nor dream of tear—
Soon from slumber waking,

The Huguenots*
is an appellation which was given
In the pr<»testant ( alt mists of iiaiice and de
signated the same description of ('lirislians in
France that I'uritan designated hi England.
In public doriiineiils the llngiienotti were
allied Crur de la rthgivn p tele nd h r rtjurmee or
RrlmioHiiarifs. The principles ol Luther and
Ziiiiigliiis obtained an entrance into France,
during the reign ol Francis 1 , (L»L'» 47) and
those who abandoned the Rouii-h religion
were called Lutherans. From this circum
stance many hate mferred that they were all
belieters in the doctrine*of Luther, and averse
to those of the Swiss. But they seem rather
toiiave been a mixed company of different de
scriptions of persons. Geneva, winch ''as
the literary ami ecclebi4»iical metropolis of the
French reformed people. Lausane and other
cities which embraced the ( ultmistic system <d
doctrines and discipline, and the zeal of Cal
vin. Fare!, Beza. and others, in fostering and
multiplying the op posers ol the Romish s?ee
in France, induced diem all. before the middle
of the century arrived to proless themselves
the friends and brethren of the Genevans. By
I their enemies they were nicknamed or con
teniptnoiisly denominated Huguenots, as ear
ly as IJtiO.
As to the origin of this appellation, there
are x anous opinions. Mini which one is correct
is not known with certainty, h originated,
probably, in an erroneous pronunciation by
the French of the German w ould I'ldgenusstn.
which signifies confederates. This had been
the name of that part of the inhabitants of Ge
neva, which cnleied into an alliance with the
Swiss cantons in order to maintain their lib
erties against the iyiaiiinc.il attempts o: Charles j
111, Duke of Savoy. These valiant confed
erates were called Ltgnots. trotii which Hu
guenots seems to be derived.

dured has scarcely a parralh l in history . Du

cumstances of aggravated cruelly. In 1598
Henrv IV passed die famous edict of Nantea,
which secured (he l*rote»tants religions free
dom. This edict vas revoked by Louis Xis.
Then, the churches of the Huguenots were
destroyed, dietr persons were insulted by the
soldiery, and. after the loss of lives of multi
tudes. tiftv thousand were driven into exile.
In Holland me elected several places of wor
ship, and enjoyed the laborsol some very dis
tinguished preachers, among whom was the
eloquent Saurin. In one ol his prin’ed ser
tnoug. he has the following apostrophe to the
tvrant Louis XIV .bv whom they were driven
; into exile: ‘And Uiou. dreadful prince,;

Decline of Heathenism.—lt is a remarka
ble fact, that an impression is prevalent all over
tno.-t ol’flie unevangelized portions of the world,
that their systems of religion are destined to be
superseded. Their priests have far less author
ity than form riy; their temples are neglected,
and tin ir idols treated with very little reverence.
Rev. Dr. Scudder, who, after laboring in India
a quarter oi a century, has spent some time in
this country to repair his health, and again re
turned to .Madura, says: *• It is a pleasingcir
cunistatice that the abominable riles of the hea
then are gradually coming to an end in differ
ent parts ol this extensive country. The gov
ernor general of India has lately published a
proclamation by the Gwalior Dunbar, prohib
iting the burning of widows within the territo
ries ol the king of Scindia. •• The authorities of
Jeypoor, having collected the Shastrees or
priests, made inquiries of them respecting sut
tee, and they said the custom was iniquitous,
and then this custom was prohibited in the
Jeypoor government. If a suttee takes place
in any village, and the Zumeendar does not
give information to lhe Siakar, such Zumeeu
dar shall be imprisoned for twelve years; and
any Ainil having received information of a sut
tee about to take place, who doe-*not prevent it,
shall be deprived of hi» situation.’
Female infanticide is also furdidden in Jey
poor.
George Whitefield and John Wesley.
Few characters could be more completely
the converse, and in Church's exigencies more
happily the supplement, of one another than
were those of (ieorge Whitefield and John
Wesley; and had their views been identical,
and their labors coincident all along, their large
services to the gospel might have repeated
Paul ami Barnabas. Whitefield was soul, and
Wesley was sy-tem. Whitefield was a sum
mer cloud, which hurst at morning or noon in
fragrant exhalation over an ample tract, and
took lhe rest of the day to gather again; Wes
ley was die polished conduit in the midst of
the garden through which the water glided in
pearly brightness ami perennial music, the
same vivid stream from day to day.
After a preaching paroxysm. Whilefield lay
namin'! on his couch, spent, breathless, and
u ’Hi-like; after his tnori.itig sermon in the
Foundry, Wesley would mount his pony, and
trot and chat and gather simples, till he reach-
ed some country hamlet, where he would bail
his charger, and talk through the little sermon
with the villagers, and remount his pony and
trot away again. In his serial poise. While*
field’s eagle eye drank lustre from lhe source
of life, and loved to look down on men in as
sembled myriads; Wesley’s fallen glance did
not sweep so far. but it searched more keenly
and marked more minutely where it pierced.’
A master of assemblies. Whitefield was no
match for the isolated man;—seldom coping
with the multitude, buts’rong in astute sagaci
ty and personal ascendency, Wesley could con
quer any number, one by one. Whitefield
was lhe powder-blast in the quarry, and by one
explosive sermon, would shake a district, atid
detach materials for men's long work ; deft,
neat, and painstaking, Wesley loved to trim
and split each fragment into uniform plinths
and polished stones. Or taken otherwise,
Whitefield was the bargeman or wagoner who
brought the timber of the house, and Wesley
was lhe architect who set it up. Whilefield
had no patience for ecclesiastical polity, no ap
titude for pastoral details; with a beaver-like
propensity for building, Wesley was always
constructing societies, and with a king like
craft of ruling, was most at home when pre

How to make Home Happy.—Nature is most
industrious m adorning her domains; and man,
to whom this bounty is addressed, should obey
the lesson. Let him too be industrious in
adorning his domain—in making his home, the
dwelling of his wife and children, not only
convententand comfortable, but pleasant. Let
him. as far as circumstances will pel inil, be in
dustrious in surrounding it with pleasant ob
jects—in decorating it within and without, with
things that tend lo make it agreeable and at
tractive. Let industry make home the abode
ot neatness and order —a place which brings
satisfaction to every inmate, and which, in ab
sence. draws back the heart by the fond as
sociations of comfort and content. Let this be
done, and this sacred spot w ill become more sure
ly the scene of cheerfulness and peace. Ye pa
rents w iio would have your children happy, be
industrious to bring them up in lhe moist of a
pleasant, a cheerful, and a happy home.—
Waste not your lime in accumulating wealth
for them ; but plant in their minds and souls,
m the way proposed, lhe seeds of virtue and
prosperity.
The Prick of the Gainsof Wat.—A friend
from childhood of Marshal Lefevre, Duke of
Dantztc, who had not run so brilliant a career as
himself, came to see him al Paris. The Mar
shal received him warmly, and lodged him in
Ins hotel, when the friend could not cense his
excl filiations upon the richness ofthe furniture,
the beauty of lhe apartments, and the goodness
of the cable, alway s adding ~O ? how happy you
are !”—“1 see you are envious of what I have,”
said the marshal ; ‘•well, you sha'l have these
things at a better bargain than 1 had: come in
x.ntirf I '.nl I*ll tl.n nt tml tt-.tl. .. ......
to the court yard I II tire at yon with a gun
twenty times, at thirty paces, and. if! don't kill
you, all shall be your ow n. What! won’t—Very
well; recollect then, that 1 have been shot at
mon* than a thousand time*, ami much nearer,
before 1 arrived where you find me.
Pat a* you go.—Justice forbids that men
should purchase that for w hich they cannot pay
ami that rule of justice observed throughout life
will alway s work out competence and comfort.
T here is but one secret in the successful pur
x it ol life, whatev or be your income -pend less.
Whatever your circumstances—pay when von
purchase. One hundred dollars in a commu
nity acting upon this principle, will go further
and <i<> more than five hundred in a communi
ty where every body is debtor or creditor
where every sixpence has to be chased till it is
worthless —and the labor of getting exceeds the
labor of earning. Pay as you go—for by so
doing j ou w ill enable the recipient ofyour favor
to follow the same glorious principle. Pay as
you go—pay your subscriptions to your news
paper ami spare the punter the trouble anil ex
pense of making collections.— il cstchcstt r Spy.

Lisbon. Dec. 23. Lisbon has been terrified
during the last ten days by several shocks of
earthquake, which came on w ith so much vio
lence, ami hi such frequent recurrence as to
inspire most serious fears and induce several
families to leave the capital. Noi only does the
tradition of tbe great earthquake of 1755 exist
in Lisbon, but large traces of’the devastation it
caii-ed slid remain. Some of the finest streets
have been built on the place where great in
jury was effected, but m their immediate vi
cinity are unlenanled spots and neglected
ruins ; and it is no winder, w ith such evidence
of a former calamity before them, that the in
habitants should be fearfully sensitive to any
symptom of its recurrence I speak more of
the feelingsof others man my own. for having
experienced many slight shocks in Greece and
the lonian Inlands, ami been almost a sb irer in
I the alarm mused by the earthquake ol 1-4.» m
the city of Mexico, 1 am m some degree sea- ;
*oned lor such events; but I can readily uuder
siaud why several persons abandon Lisbon,
why the theatres are neglected, and why so
much terror is exhibited in every family. The
shocks have been at least ten in number, ami
the direction has been generally from east to
west. lam told they were felt most vividly in
the highest parts of the city, and that no m -
pression was made in the low grounds at the
opt»osite side of the Tagus.
The weather has been very stormy for many
davs. and it blew a hurricane when tbe first
alarm was feit. The Bar was violently agitated
—the roaring of me surf was distinctly hea»d
for several hours before and after, and. as some
persons pretend, its intensity was greatest at
the moment of the strongest shock. So much
nervousness or terror prevailed tnat some
families slept in their carnages, and others have
hid tents peeked in their grounds, beneath
i which they con-idcr mem-elves to be more safe
■ than mid r the roofs of their fine mansion-,
i The terror inspired on this occasion is now in
some degree diminished, as the weather ha»
again resumed it- serenity, and a report i
sprend th.it a volcanic eruption ha-taken p ace
in the vicinity ol Torres V edras. winch is to he
con-idered a-a safetv valve for the melropnl -
I have inqu.red from vtiicers of the Heel if any
shock wa- feit on board the several ships an
chored in me i'agus. but they answer no.
though the unusual agitation on the Bar wa
re marked by ail. It is satisfactory to add that
no serious datn ige of any kind has occurred
here, and literally the city has been more fright
ened than hurt.
Mixf.p R acks of South America amd Mex
ico - -
uaturali-t. has recently published a work enti- ■
tied •• Travels m Peru, which is well known,
hi this work he gives a list of the crosses result- .
i::g from tile in’.t rt: .xiure of the Spanish vv itli i
the Indian and Negro races in that country .
The settlement of Mexico by the Spaniards
took place al the same time, and the intermix- 1
’.ure of races has been perhaps greater in that 1
couutrv than in Peru. Au officer of our army
informs us th.it the Mexican soldiers present the .
mostunequa. c. .traders that can be met with j
’ manv others quite the reverse and possessing
’me basest and most barbarous qua I. ties. ThisT.
doubiiess. is a result m part of the crossings of ,
tbe races
The etFect of such intermixture upon the
char.ictrr is ui-slated by Dr Tschudt: Tc
define the r charade i istics correctly would be
impo sible; for their minds partake of the ‘
m.xture of their blood. As a general rule it
mav oe fairly said, that they i nite in themselves

progenitors; as men they are generally infe
rior io the pure r.o-es. and a- members > ; -o

New Ere nmg Pus:
I
From the Yankee Blade.
A Yankee nt the Adilins House.
Some weeks ago, a very lung brown Down
Easter, attired in one of those costumes which
are now no where to be met with except upon
the stage, a tall bell-crowned white-hat, short
waisted bine coat, with enormous pewter but
tons. a vest as ‘yaller’ as a burberry blossom,
and a pair of corduroys whose highest ambi
tion seemed to maintain their ascendency over
a pair of enormous cowhides that had trodden
many a hundred miles of logging-paths, “might
have been seen,” Jacknife and .shingle in hand,
wending his way up Long wharf, in the rea
lization of his life-long anticipations of “ seein’
Boston.” At the corner of Merchants* Row,
his progress was arrested by the lumber
ing transit of a two-story house on wheels,
drawn by a half a dozen yoke of oxen, with
the people inside pursuing their usual avoca
tions.
“What on airth is that ere?” he asked of a
by-stauder.
•• Oh 1 nothing,” replied the ‘ towney’—“the
folks are only moving—that’s all. When we
move down here—we do it, house and all.”
“ Je-ruH<dem! Wai'! that beats all natur.-
Wall, cap’n, what’s that ’ere big s'.uu house
over the left ?”
• That’s the new Custom House. Il’s a
mighty bad location—but they’re going to
move it next week.”
“Thunder and molasses! It’ll take all the
oxen in creation to start her ?”
“ Oh, they use elephants for moving such
1 large buildings.”
1 “ And how many elephants it’ll lake?”
• “ Upwaids of a hundred.” The Yankee
• cut a deep -.ash in his shingle and walked on.
He next inquired for the Adams House, fur
• he had “ heard tell - ’ of that, and was deter
mined “to progressduringhisjuvenility,aware
1 of the impossibility of doing so at a more ad-
• vanced age.”
He soon found the “ tavern,” and the “ dea
-1 con,” and ordered accommodations, liberally
‘ “darning the expense.” Having “slicked
up” a little, he witnessed with some amaze
ment the operations of a servant on the gong,
. simply remarking that “he know’d what sheet
hghiuin’ was, but this was the fust lime he’d
• ever beerd of sheet thunder.” He followed
ihe crowd into the dining-hall and was ush
ered to a seat; where he ensconced himself.
lurking his tow el under his chin with a sort of
desperation as it he was going to be shaved or
scaped.
'lhe sight of the covereddishes added to his
amazement. “ Dod demit!” he exclaimed,
•’ efl ever heard of cookin’ on the table !—but
here they’ve gone and sot tin kitchens all over
the lot. Whar’s the fire to come from—that's
what I’d like tokuow ?”
He got along with the soup very well, and
was pausing lor breath, before he finished it,
when a waiter snatched his plate away and was
running off with it.
•• llvllow ! you sir!” vociferated the Yankee
—“ 1 see you—Fetch lhat ’eie back quickern’
link lightning, or else’ you’ll hev your head
punched.”
“ His plate was returned, and he finished his
soup with dignity. After waiting a moment,
he raised his voice again, and summoned the
offending waiter sternly.
“ Kalkelate to starve mo?”
“ No, sir.”
“ Wall—why don’t you fetch on some fresh
fodder—darn je ?”
“There’s the carte, sir.”
“ B7ier«’« the cart ? And what in thunder
am I to do with the cart w hen I’ve got it I
Look out. you pesky sarpint, orjou’it catch
it.”
“The bill of fare.” “ I don’t pay my bill till
I’ve bad my fodder.”
The waiter humbly explained his meaning.
“ W hats all these crack-jaw names mean ?
Give me somethin' plain and hearty biled
corn beef—and fetch it about the quickest—
while i look over the paper and see what
else 111 hev.” The meat was brought him.
“ Hold on !” was ihe next order. “ What's
this here 1 M a-c-c-a—Read it, wont you,
sir f”
“ Maccaroni, sir.”
“ Ail right, cap’n. Hurry it up.”
The dish was brought.
“ You eternal cuss!” roared the Down-
Easter. “ el I h un’t as great a mind as ever I
bed to ker-wallop yer, and make an example
of jeon ihe spot. Whatdo ye mean by run
iiin') our rigs on me jest because I’m a stranger
in these part.*? Take away your darned
inled pipe-stems, and fetch I s on some cab
bage. Thai’s right. And now, squire, some
vinegar.”
•• V i tie gar's in the castor, sir,” replied the
waiter, and made good his retreat.
“In tile castor, is it. hey ?" soliloquised
the Yankee; “and where in thunder is ihe
castor ?”
'l’he young gentleman opposite pushed it
towards him. llu looked at it—look the
stopper out of the vinegar, and taking up the
cantor by the bottom, turned it up. But all
the cruets manifested a desire to illustrate the
laws of gravity and leap from their locations,
and thejankee was compelled to set it down
again.
Jerusalem.” he exclaimed. “This her ®is
a curious contrivance, and no mistake. How
on airth am Ito get at the larnal vinegar? ill
try it <>n once more.”
Again he canted the castor, but this time all
the stopples tumbled out.
“Thunder don,” he roared “here’s a pret
ty mess. Darn it all—here I’ve got the darned
castor all into my gravy . and the darned red
lead on my cabbage, and the yaller on my ’la
ter. Darn the thing! 1 say!”
• My friend.” said the gentleman opposite,
with a strong control over his risible muscles.
*• it appears to me if I were in want of vinegar,
that L’liould take the vinegar cruel out of the
stand, and by that means 1 should avoid all
trouble.”
Here the whole company, waiter* and all,
burst into a convulsive fit of laughter. The
Yankee rose in a rage, upsetting his chair,
and glaring defiance on hi* neighbors.
•• How in the name of all the larnal cusses
in creation,” be velled, “ should I know any
thing about the way the darned thing worked
when I never seed one of’em afore ? You’ve
hatched this up against me —1 know it. Wliar's
the landlord l etch your bill on l’ll get
out of this. I haint eat leu cents’ worth, but
I’ll pay up like a book—and cuss and quit.
And if ever 1 set out to eat a meal ofvittles in
Boston town again—you may take my hide
and tan it. Darn your casters—and your cas
torile—and you. too, one and all!” And Hing
ing down a dollar on the table. he seized his
white bell-top from the hand of a trembling
waiter and vamosed. Down Washington ami
Stale streets, he streaked it like a comet, ami
never slacked his pace till he pulled up on
board the Kennebec.
••Cap’ll,” said he to the commander—“cast
od’your linejestas quick as you're auiinti to.—
And efever you catch me wanting to see Bos
ton agin, jest you take me bv the slack and
throw me n K hl into that ere bder, boots and ali
