The prevalence of the Cholera, which threat ened to depopulate the proud and busy city of Now York, and the uncertainty how. far and in what direction it might not extend, bciore its wrath might be appeased* determined me to shorten my Northern Tour, and return at oiice to tlm fragrant South. It was a pleasant morning in July, as the good Schooner Ganninipper was standing with a stiff breeze down the Harbor. Alroiwly tho wharves, the forts, the islands were left behind; and soon Sandy Hon!; itself was out of sight. “With a breeze like this, wc shall have a short ruu—hey? Mr. Van Scliinschimt? or what the devil is your name?” quoth the Cap tain, addressing himself to the mote. But the person addressed, a thick, chunky inan, with a face of the color of a boiled lobster, and eyes soeming as if ready to pop from his head, made no answer, except by a low hoarse “ha, ha, ha!” •'Old Nick is making a fine harvest out of them are cheating Yorkers: the Cholera is cook ing them about right, hey?” said the captain a- gnin.
