Tho trood ship liesoluto, of which Ooorgn Mncey was oaptmn, sailed from New York on the 17th day of March, in 184—, bound (or several ports on tho const of South America. ‘ Nothing of note * occurred during the outward passage, until after the disposal of tho cargo, when, as they were about to set sail for home, tho majority of the crew were sudden'y attacked with a danger us fever, and out of twenty men but three survived. Several days elapsed without their ob taining a sufficient number of men to work the vessel home, when one day a boat was seen to put off fora tho shore containing about a dozen men, who rowed directly to ward the ship. Dut u few moments sufficed to place tho boat alongside, and tho occupants were soon on deck. In response to their inquir ies the captain informed them that he wish ed to obtain tho services of several men, to enable him to reach homo. The leader of the party stated that they were p u t of the crew of a vee ol v.FTmh had tfct cn. jvreclted several weeks previous, and that they should be willing to assist in the working of the ship provided by that means they would fco enabled to reach their homes The captain gladly accepted their offer, and the next morning, with tho nssi.tance of the new comers, put out to s°a. Nothing of note occurred until they bad been several days at sea, when one evening as the captain was seated in his cabin, qui etly smoking his pipe, he was ftirtled by the entrance of a Stewart —an old negro— and still more by the expression on Lis count- nance. ‘ Good Lord, Mn;sa!” ho exclaimed sinking on his knees, “wo shall all be kliled and roast.d and frown in de sea.” “What is it?’’ asked tho captain,scarce ly able to restrain his laughter. “Hush !” said the negro, pointing in the direction from which he came ; “don’t lot ’em h ar you.” “Let who hear me—what do you mean?” asked tho captain, agray. It was several minutes ere the captain was able to understend the causo of his fright. It serais tho n"gro had been clown in the hold, and while there accidentally over heard n conversation b tween several of the ne v ship’s crew, in which they had laid a plot to murder the captain and oil who were t pp sed to their wishes, and then di vide the large sum of money which was known to be on board. Having accom plished this, they intended to steer the ves sel lor some for ign clime, where they could enjoy their money undisturbed. “Go back to your work,” said the cap tain, ‘and do not by word or action lead them to think yon know aught of their de signs.” With a trembli g stop be turned to ob y, and the captain sat down to think of some means, if p issible, to frustrate their whom -. IT<* soon thought of a r*!an and lost no t'm-o in putting itin operation. Arising and going on deck be looked about him for die per on ho wanted- He soon observed him legning moodily against the railing of the vessel, looking into tho dark waters beneath. (Stepping up to the young man and lapping him on the shoul der, he motioned him to follow. The cap tain lei the way ti tho cabin, ami closed and locked the and or. He then drew a chair up to the table, motiomng his companion to do the same. Charis Morgan, the per eyri .thorn the cap nin now confronted, was a young man rather small in stature, and ol aa agreeable disposition. Ho was the only son of his w idowed mother, who had confided him to the captain’s cure several years previous, and he hud always placed every confidence in him. ‘ Do you know of the .exist -nee of a plot to murder you and I and : ei/.e the vessel by our new crew ?” asked tho captain. ••I do not,” r plied his compan on, some what astonished. “Such a eL.rjf has reached ruy rars and lam incl’ned to believe it. Could you not manage to dia»>ver the truth of this ?’’ he asked. “I think I cool?,” replied Charles, with a s’ight show of hesitati n, ‘provided 1 had your assistance.” “That you have ! ” exclaimed tho enp taii (diaries (hen c nfided his plan to the enp tain, which they were to put into operation the next day. The u.-xt morning in presence of till the crew, the captain ordered young Morgan aloft. As he made no int inaiui to obey, be repeat and the order. Tli’s time he bold ly refused, w hereupon the cap ain seized him by the Collar, and hurled him violent ly upon the deett. Then turning upon his heel he sought the cnb n. “You shall repent this!” muttered Ch ties as be regained his feet. The captain was no s' • tier out of sight, when one of the new crew stepped up to Charles, and sa’d : “Morgan, would you like to be revenged on the captain ?” “Aye, I would ! ’ he replied ; “and I will bo ere this vess 1 touches port!” “Then join us !” sa’d the man. “Join you ! what do you mean ?” asked Cnar'os, uppurentlv astonished. “Who, you s e,” said the man, “the rest of the boye and m; have got up a plan to kill the eapta n, and we did intend to'kili you, but for this fuss, and when w e had nossessiim of the ship fail for the West In dies.” ' # i “With all my heart will I join you,”sa'd Charles, eagerly. “Only promise me that I may silence the captain.” This t: e vilH *n seemed well pleased with, and gave his consi nt. C har es proposed that the other should visit the ca|taia this evening, and afer con versing awhile, order some wine, which ho had previou ly drugged, saying that this prec.ution was mcessary, as ti c captain always we t armed, prepared so- any umer gency, and would therefore sell his life dearly. Accordin')’, that evening the wily villain app ared at iho captain s door, ashed per mission to eider, saying lie w ished to con verse with him. Morgan, as soon as he saw him eat r, stole noiselessly to the spot where the drug ged wine had been placed, and exchanged it for bottles ho had with him, and thus armed lie eohght the dock. Tho crew were bmngitrg around tbo forecastle, and walk ing up to thorn, ho sail : Como, shipmates, stippeso we take a little wine ! Tho money is all ours, so what, do wc caro !!’ at tho same time siding a glass, which ho banded to oue of the sailors. Ky this time the seamen v re all arr and came crowding around Charles, each ea- ger to taste the’ sparkling wine. Tbo bottles were soon emptied, t-r.d ono by one threw them in to the sea. Ho then seated him self near his companions to watch tho effect of tho drug. It soon began to work. One of the s-amen arose and said, “Well, shipmates, I f< H sleepy; I guess I’ll go below, and turn in !” With that ho tor-k two or three stopa across tho deck, and then sank down and im mediately fell asleep. Ilis companions were not lor-g in following his example, and in a short time were all asleep. Morgan then arose, anthgoing below enter ed the cabin. A' a motion from hi n tbo captain arnre, i and together they seized the villian who h id j planned the mischief, and bound Lira They \ then went on deck and securely bound the sleeping mutineers. Tbo did r.o f awake un til the next morning, when finding them selves bound and their plans frustrated, their rage knew no bounds. Old Sambo, the steward, wept for jiy at his escape from being roasted, as he positive ly affirms that bo ovi rheard them say they intended roasting him. Tow rd tho middle of .ha d-ty tbo cap’ain espied a vessel, which, on speaking, ho found to be from Hew York. On informing the captain of her ( who was an old friend of his) the condition in which they were in, ho kindly ( fibred to let him have several of his men. This.offer tho captain gladly accep ted, and five robust sailors were soon on board. The remainder of tbo voyage was a pleas ant and agrccablo one. When tbo vessel reached New York, tho mutineers were shortly after Iried for th ir crimes. [From the Louisville Courier.] A THRILLING SKETCH. Catching a Htirglar. It is a trite remark that “truth is stranger titan notion.” Human nature is so consti tuted that ev :nts which, under ordinary cir cumstances, would pass unnoticed, become by reason of some connection with an extra ordinary event, full of interest to tbo obser ver —absorbing, terryfing it may bo—and exercising perhaps a life-long influence on the person intercrcsted. It is thus that poets and lunatics are made. There vat a worthy old g-antlnmn not long ago living in one of the most fl wish ing eitic3 in western New York, whose life hjtd been nneheqaered and serene, passed in «*— a™™, m..-' ~’; * I.:, Church, whereof ho was a most. wor;liy and esteemed member and also filled acceptably to the church the high office of deacon. The old gentleman had a wife, 33 most men Lave who have arrived pt veirs of do er -lion and are deacons in tho Methodist j Church—a womarvof rare virtues, who, mi -1 k; the deacon, was rd of remarkable ! resolution and courage, which bad more than once, I con severely tested, but front every trial of her nerves tbo rcsolut6 lady ] had emerged triumphant. The deacon, alb- it, of a most amiable and kindly disposition, was perilars. under snub circumstances, “in point of fact,” a* Mieawbcr Latj i , some what, timid. Io short the grey mare was, with duo respect, the : tho better horse- The glee with which tbo oil lady wa accustom .d'to relate tbo incident, which it • is our purpose to record, was only surpassed by the intense chagrin with whi n Hi: worthy deacon was accustctn- and to listen. To “ begin at the beginning.” it is recess*- ry to premise that the d'-neon vfos in the habit of making his wif; his banker, dining any temporary ‘absence from home, and to en*ru-t. her with all the surplus fuedt he might have on band, which she would de posit in a place of security nn'il his return. This arrmgemqnt was not displea: rg to her except so fi ras such a trust became a temptation to evil-drsprs and per* n an-! (bus occasioned some apprehension for its safety, and If the ] aokage was not alt gather in tact when returned to the deacon it is of no particular in teres t_ to others. Oa one occasion, certain friends of the old gentleman of a convivial turn, pe-snad cd bim that too severe and long oantinu'd application to bis bu.-iness was likely to in jure Lis constitution, and that h’» overtask ed brain required relaxation and rest. As be felt the greatest possible solicitude con-, corning bis own c <cctilution as well jm that of the United States (this was djmng tho war), it was n A t difficult to convince him that a t ip to L ike Superior would produce the happiest re ults. It was not so easy to conviliac Lis wife, but after some polemical diseu-sion, wberin be was as usual completely ands oinfittt and, her consent was obtained snd, leaving v.i h her a con siderable sum of money for safe keeping, casting'’ dull rare to the winds, be started.) Opportunely for tie lady considering the j helpless condition of the household, at this juncture there arrived a female friend, wind was easily persuaded to remain during the absenoo of the deacon. Occupying the) same room at night, with tired natures sweet restorer, clasping tbo two in his ar- j dent embrace, ft, was but a short time after j the deacon’s departure that “they awoke one I night from a deep dream of peace” to find’ in tho room not ‘an anjfel’ but a m ist vil lainous and blood thirs'y looking ruffian \ in horrid di-guise—in fact a veritable, bur 1 glar, od a diabolical deign intent, at that moment reaching forth bis band to ‘g r asp a gold watch belonging to the lady x i itor,. which lay on the mantel piece With it howl like a female pvild cat when she miascs her youngest cub, ora hyena from whose jaws has been snatched a toothsome human skull, or in short, like any ctbor wild an imal, the lady sprAng fk>ui th, bed and) boldly confronted the robber, who e.mlij, I stand any shapo but that, and incontinently tied. Fiantioally ho rushed down stairs, ; out if the front door and into the street, closely pursued by tho courageous lady, 'shouting fir an immaginary “.lohn” to bring : his gun—an instrument that the deacon (would quite as soon have in tbo house as a mother-in-law or the cholera—when having :no more potent weapon than a hairpin, or she would ceil..inly have killed him, she re turned to the house to Cud tho inmates all 'of the gcDtler sex in n state of demoralization most agonising to behold. j This event was an epoch in the bistory of that family. If the hair of each member of that family did not turn white in that sin gle night, it was not becauso they did not ; sep full cf horrors, and fora long time thereafter every noise heard at night was tbo villainous scratching of the tools of siine ruffianly house breaker, or the stealthy |prowling of some awful end bloodthirsty villain, who, with pistol and bludgeon, was like Caligula or Herod, ready to slay men, women, and children, whom ho might I meet. ! On tho return of the deaoen. these events were of e urcu related to him, with the usual embclishments, until he became thnuroghly demoralised and innoculated with tho pervading alarm, until ho too, saw a dagger in every moinbeam, and a bur glar in every bet! post It was before tho minds of the oouplo had become perfectly composed or re tored to the condition of statu quo ante helium , that the thrilling scene oocured that is here recorded. Tho doacon and his wife occupied the room on the second flaor opening from tho hall at tho top of tho stairs. Balmy sleep had settled down upon them, and night bad thrown its dark mantel over half tho earth. The hand of tho dial pointed to tho short hours ns the courageous lady was one night awakened bv a most ruspici ,us noise at the front door. Giving her spouse a kick, by rea son of a clear cot.sionce, a souud sleeper, she awoke him with tbo apnaling exclamation that “somebody was breaking in the house!’’ Tho doaoon was constitutionally opposed to being aroused before he had enjoyed bis le gititimate amount of sleep, and perhaps justified in responding in an emphatic and somewhat severe manner “that she had bet ter go to sleep;” and turning over again composed himself to sleep. The noise how ever being repeated, bo at last became tbrougly arena and, and screwing up bis cour age, he silently stopped out of bo 1. and crept cau'i'usly across the room with “Tarquin’s ravishing stride, towards bis design moved jike a ghost*’ intending to reach the stairs and listen, and bo prepared for any overt act oti the part of the intruder. . Ilis wife meanwhile, uupr’pared for this tin xpentrdact of valor on the part of the Deacon herself crept out of her side ts tho bed, arid with tbo same steabby step care fully ndvnneed po? a-ds the same poir tns a base fir offensive opperatiors, should they unfortunately become necessary. As she ex ' tended her hand to feci her way her band llit on whet, sho supposed to be, the broad f .'..l :--f H'jjt. « juttofUM jp 1 most appal lug Fcresm, line the wnoop or a big injun on the war path, but wi.'ieut the lees! particle of fear'she sternly and herr ii ally determined to wreak vengeance cn this disturber of the peace, go seizing tho wretch by the nape of the kneel; with one hand and with tho other cramping the. place •which should have been duly covered with corduroy, she made one dtfperato tffort to hurl him headlhng down the stairs. The probabilty is that this was the most tcnible strait in which the deacon wijl ever be placed in If bo'lives v a thousand years* Perceiving tho unbonded jsttack in tho rear, the pvr. ttul hand ’ i g ■ hHun i protected back, frightened by the bowl that, j woke the echoes it the house, end made his ii wo eyes I‘ko stars, start from their spheres, while visions of tomahawks and sculping knives flashed before 1 is imagination, nnd :ng himself being precipitated into the dark ness below, he flt as though pr-'Videnoo had forsaken him entirely, and instinctively grasping the rail, he closed lib eyes, off red ! up a hurried prayer Lr Divine pntcction, ' groaned aloud in tho bitterest ag"ny, and |givo IHo-s 1/ever fi r 10-L j The 1. ty finding no purchase, for her ] grasp where she expected to find a firm hold, I md divining the position of things at, once, I -mJ knew that, tho helpl.Rs indi-ideal wrl'hing under her powerful grasp con'd be no other then the worthy deacon hims If, ut tering a few words to reassure the miserable man, she hastily lighted the gas to be hold the startled inmates of the bouse rush ing to the scene with pokers, boot-ja -ks and -tich offensive weapons us were convenient to witness ttie denovmmt The lady, bold, ‘erect and triumphant and the deaetin. pale and g'sping, his hair standing on end, his 1 knees knocking together, was truly au object of commiseration. . j)' Here we drop the curtain.

The following will bo road again with side-spdittlng effeot: “ I'here’s nine mon a s’andin’ at the dorc, and they all sod they’d taka shusar in ther’u ” Hicb, friends and brethoring, was the talk, in a wurldly cent, wonst oommon in this our ainshunt land; but tho dais is gone by, and the suns run dry, and no man can say to his naber, boo art thou, man, and will you take cqny moro thugar in your kstighey? But tho words of our tex hasadifrunt and n more pcrtickleroer tncenin than this —* Thar they stood at the dore on a cold wiw; turs mornin, two B.iptiss, and two MetMbs, and five Lutharians, and the toother one vets sod they wouldn’t dirty their feet in a diaro ship, but if tho publibin would go and git tho drinks they’d pay for ’em. And they all cried out and every man sed, “I’ll take mine with shugar, for it wont feel good to, drink the stuff without sweetniD.” So tho publikin be marched in and the bar-keeper sed, “What want ye ?” and he answered and sod “A drink ” “How will ye have it ?” “i’lune and straight,” says be, “foe it uint no use wastin shugar to cfrcumsal!- vate akafortis. “But there’s nine more a standin at the dore, and they all sed they’d tako shugar in thcre’n.” , Fronds and brccthring, it aint only the likker of sperits that is drunk in this roun* 'derboat and underhand way wikednis in like manner. Thars tbc likker of mallis, that a menny uV you drinks to the dregs, but youre sure to sweeten it with shugar of self justification. Thars the likker of avar iss that Sum keeps behind the curtin for con stant use, but they always has it well mixt with the swot n n uv prudons apd ekonimy, Thars the likker of seif-luv that men drink by tho gallon, but they always puts it in lots uv tho shugar uv take kcer No. 1. And, lastly, thars the likker of extorshun, which the man sweetens according to surkumstan* cos. If lie’s in the flour Hue, he’ll say tbo pore’ll be better off eatin korn bread ; if he’s in tho cloth, why it’s a good thing to larn ’em to make their cloth at home j if he’s in the lethor line,it’ll larn ’em tho needoessitv of takin better keer uv shoos. “And there’s nine more a standing at the dore, and they all sed they’d take shugar in therein.” But fronds and breethering, thar’s a time enmin nnd a place tixin, whar thar’ll be do “standin at the dore” to call for “shugar in ther’D.” But they’ll have to go rite in and take t,Lo drink rquare up to tbo front; and the barkeeper’ll be old Satun and nobody else ; and he’ll cive ’em “shugar in ther’n,” you’d better bcli we it, and it’d be shugar uv led and red hot led at tha‘, as sure as your name’s Conshuuoa dodger. And you’ll bo entitled to your rashunß three times a day if not more frcquentlhr, *and if you don’t like it you’ll have to lump it, and so may the old Nick close down upon all your s ilk balaverin around the plane ole pools of brotherly luv, and ginirosity, and feller-feel* in, and fair play !
