% I.ittlc Too Pnnetiiiil. The hour was appronchin'' for the dr. finttiuro of tho N-w llaveu steamboat from her berth at New York, and tho Umioil crow 1 of passengers and friends v»f p*ssensers, newsboys, fruit vendor*, «*«b men sod dock loafers, wore assem bler! on and ah lit the boat. Wo wore Siwmr at the motlv prmp from tbo foot of the-d’ee.k stairs,when our attention was ■attracted bv the singular action of a tall, | brown Yankee, in an immense wod hat, \ chocolate colored coat and paotnleons, j •and a fanev vest. H i s'ood nom the ( fltarboard pulUcbn, and scrutinise j ■ sharply every foraa'e wh icarno on bo"r*l, | •every now and then consulting a r etinr j nous ailver bul ’a ove watch, which he j raised from She depths of a uapaei ms j fob by tnaatrs of a povevfull stoid chain. -After mounting gu in’ in this manner,, be hashed furiously '’.own the gang plank ■ 8 h»il up the wharf, Yoappoa ring on bond ’ almost insfantmuMislv, with a flushed, fauc, expressing the most intense anxic-| ty. This series of opperations he per formed several times, after which he I rushed about the boat, wildly and hope lessly ejaculating.— « WWo the time of day ? Wond r if my rrpcatcr’s last? Whar’s the cap’n? Whar’s the steward ? Whar’s the mate? Whar’s the boss that owns the ship ?” “W’lat’sltho matter, sir ?” we ven tured tff ask him, when be stood for a moment. “Hain’t rein nothing of a gal in a blue sun-bonnet, with a Canton crape shawl, (oostfift»en dollars,) pink gown, and brown hoots, hey 1 come aboard while I was looking for the cap’n at the j hind end of tho ship—have ye, hey?" | “No such person has come on board ’ “Tormented lightning! she’s my wife,’ | ho screamed, “married her yesterday. 1 All her trunks and mine aboard under j tbe pile of baggage as tall as a Connecti cut steeple. The darnd blank nigger says he can't hand it out, and 1 won’t leave my baggage, any how. My wife j only think of it, was to have come , aboard at half-past four, and here it is ; most five. What’s become of her? She can’t havo eloped. We haint been mar ried lor.g enough for that. You don’t think she’s been üblucted, do ye, mister. . Speak— answer —won’t yo ? O' I’m ra ving distracted ! What are tb v ringing that hell for? I. tho ship afir ?” ‘‘lt is the signal far departure—the first bell. The second boll will be rung in four minutes." “Thunder you don’t siy so! Whar’s the oap’u? 1 ’ ( “That gentleman in tho blue coat." The Yankee darted to the capUiu’u side. “Cip’n, stop the ship f»r tea minutes, won’t you?" “Can’t do it s’r." “But ye mus‘, I tell you. I B you for it. How much will yo ax?" “I could not do it." ( “Cap’n, I’M give you tew and dlars,’’ gasned tire Yankee. The captain shook his head. “I’ll give you five and a half— and a half—and a half I’’ hokept repeat ing, dancing about in his agony, like a mad jackass on a hot iron platter. “The boat star's at five precisely,” said the oaptain, shortly, and nirn and awav. “O, you stunny-hearted heatbin ! murmered the Yankee, almost bursting into tears. “Partin’ man and wiio, and we just one day married!’’ At this moment tho huge paddle wheels began to paw the water, ami the walking beam deccnded heavily,shaking the huge fabric to the centre. All who were not going to N w Ilaven went ashore. The hands began to haul in the gangplank, the fasts were already cast loose. “L"£go that plank !” roared the \ an - 1 kee, collating one of the hands. “Drop it like a hot pntatoe, or I’ll throw yon into tho dock 1” “Yo—yo shouted tho tnon in cho rus as they heaved on the gangway. “Shet up, you brayina donkeys,” yelled the maddened Yankee, “or there will be an ugly sort of work !” But the plank was got aboard, and the boat splashed past tho pier. In an instant, tho Yankee pithed off his coat, flung liis hat beside it on the deck and rushed wildly to the guard. “Are you drunk or crazy cried a j passenger, seizing him. “I am going to fling myself into the dock and swim ashore!” cried the! Yankee. “I musn’t leave Sairy Ann i alone in New York City. You may | divide my baggage among yo—let me go-*—l can swim!' 1 He struggled so furiously that the consequence of his rashness might have been fatal, bad not a sudden appari tion changed his purpose. Avery pretty young woman, in a blue bonnet, white Canton crape shawl, pink dress and brown boots, came toward him.— The big brown Yankee uttered one stentorious shout of “Sairy Ann!” clasping her in bis arms in spite of her strugglejog, ar.d kiseyl her heartily, light before all tho passengers. “Where djd you come from ?” ho inquired, “From tho ladies’ cabin,” answered the brido “You told mo half past' four, hut I thought I’d make sure, and come pi four.” “A little too punctual!” said the Yahkee “But it's all right now Go ahead, steamboat! 4 ltosin up, there, fireman ! Darn the expenses 1” When the sun set, the loving cou ple were seen seated on tho upper deck, the big brown Yankee’s arm encircleing the slendering waist of the young woman in the blue bonnet and pink dress. W e believe they reached their destination safe and sound. The Auburn, California, Stars and Stripes has a request from “Captain Tom,” of the l’laeer tribe of Indians, (u make the paper tell every man and •woman that his belovod wife Mandad, is “heap dead.” “She was it little OVOt two week, heap sick one week, *nd made dead after dinner on Mon day.” The sorrowing widower says ■he was “heap good woman.” Ihe nrayoe of St. I.onis, fans appoint ed October >-th, u i day of tha iksgiv ing for the deliverance of that city (mm chciicra.
