Putnam, Ohio, there jot s tands B house built of logs, but now dwguia .t-itli weather boards, which years • ago, was kopt as a tavern by Zonal Sherwood. To this tavern, one night came a traveler on foot, without hag. or baggage, and asked for lodgings. Iu those early times men were seldom turned away from oven private dwel lings at night fall, much less than from taverns, no odds how forbidding their appearance. Os course our trav eler uas taken in and fared so well that in the morning ho concluded to erelong bis stay.' Ho soon developed himself a groat traveler ; and lmd seen tho world—by land and by sea ho had hoen all over it—had a large experi ence; had acquired a wonderful amount of knowledge, aid could nar rate most marvelous adventures. If did not tako long for him to be come tho hero of tho bar-room, which was in those days, tho resort oi not a few old settlers. Among those wor thies was an old man. named Robin eon, ami one Remington, v-’.th others whoso names need not be given. Our hero cultivated three or four of these, and rovoaled the fact that on the top of Putnam Hill there was. bunod an iron chest containing an immense number of old Mexican dollars, Theso were just tho men to swallow an un hated hook, and it was agreed upon that they would dig for these riches. A pledge of perfect secrecy was re quired, and preparations were made for tho work, The party wont at a late hour of the night to prospect and lix upon tho exact spot on v Inch to dig. Thoy measured so many yards from certain treos and stall a stake, and returned to dream of riches and pleasures unheard of by them before. In tho next conference tho details of tho further proceeding; were all settled and the next night they wore to commonco operations. Oar hero J was of course to “boss’ tl.o job. Ac cordingly, as soon as it was prudent, tho party, armed with mattocks and spades, sallied forth in high spirits— partly raised by tho hopo of groat richos and partly by—something tdso. It was agreed that tho boss was to keep guard while tho rest ol tho par ty worked, and in case of alarm, his try of “bush” was to bo tho signal for every one to Lido in tho bushes. Tho boss cautioned the mon against swearing in the pit, and now all things being roady tho work com menced in good earnest On tho second night Remington hit his foot with his mattock and a bad oath escaped his mouth, whereupon tho boss ordered that tho work should stop, declaring that tho oath had sunk tho iron chest ten feet. Tho next night everything was love ly, and they reached, by vigorous work, a point within a foot of tho treas ure which was to carry them through life in stylo. Tho following day was spent in rest and in preparation for the groat linalo. The boss told thorn that tho next night would crown their labor with glorious success—hut only on tho con dition that each man should go to the work clad in his very best garments —with a clean shirt and with ton sil ver dollars in his pockets. Those conditions were a little hard for them—silvor dollars yvero scarco in those days as well as in these, anu our hero had not oven a •loan shirt, much less the dollars. But, inasmuch us theso were all absolutely indispen sablo, by great effort- they were all obtained, and the party met at tho ap pointed placo and hour, nnd with throbbing hearts and willing hands thoy set to work, tho boss as usual keeping watch. Tho night was moonless and almost us soon as work was commenced tho cry of “bush” brought the men from tho pit. The alarm subsided and tho V’ork was resumed. Tho mon dug and dug, and dug, till they wore ex hibited, and at length carao up to cousult the boss. But no boss could oo found. They called and called. In vain. No answer. Not even an echo, and the general opinion soon prevailed that there wore no irun chests buried on Putnam Hill. she landlord had not been paid for t"o weeks’ board, nor for many drinks, Nor for tho clean shirt, and the victims javo not been known to dig from that '• J y to this lor “liidden treasures." ,“ e Little Coi'ixiral fur June closes 'oluimi twelve of this valuable Juvon -lej "!Tio next number begins anew 'olume, ami also anew story, by that 'J'st of writers • for cliildi'on, Emily untingtcm Miller, entitlod, “Sum- Dil . r Uays at Kirkwood.” ■ All new su tscrihors beginning with tho new oluino will recoive the June number r, -°- _ Terms, 51.50 a year, or 75 cants ken S ’ X m °aths.

Nii.vu tah Gulf of Mexico in La. ) May 15, 1871. • { Mr. Editor :—Two days ago I passed along that beautiful lake lying bo tween Alabama’s great city (Mobile) and tho Metropolis of tho South (New Orleans. Now if you and all your readers have traveled over the iuil lffad along tho lako from Mobile to New Orleans, it will be unnecessary to i publish this writing; blit, if any have j not, allow ino to say that it is the smoothest road and has the most com fortablo ears for passengers that it has ever been my fortune to ride in— ftoutli. During this ride I passed sev eral piuturosquo villages and summer seats on the beautiful whito sandy bor der of tho lako; at other points I passed for some distanco on trcssel-work through tho shallow water on tho side of the lako; then tho scene was varied —as far as the eye could see I beheld tho whito masts of several sailing crafts scattered, from near to far, all over this great Lake. A good broezo was gently blowing. Think of it: the little vessels with strutted sails were proudly riding the rolling waves, with soft rays of a noon day sun exactly be yond and high abovo all theso little sails from you, making its silver sheets and golden spark lings on tho water— it was glorious. Tho heart will never tiro though tho eyo may grow dim while beholding such beauties. This i3 a faint sketch ol a spring day’s lido from Mobile to New Or leans along and near the lily border of tho Groat Lake. When at the wharf and boat landing in New Or leans (liko unto New York), it sooms that all tho beauty of tho world is care fully collected and put in a boat or water craft, for many, yes many, did I soo yesterday. But this is not all that is beautiful about Now Orleans ; she has magnificent streets and build ings, fine looking mon and beautiful, yes quite beautiful ladies. Nowl saw all this, paid my hotel bill and sat down to write it to you. More anon, P. W. A Little boy, who had been told that ho must never ask for any thing to oat when away from homo, went in to a neighbors house one day, when the lady chanced to be frying dough nuts. ‘Ah,’ said he, ‘you arc cooking.’ Aware that ho had boon well train ed, and anxious to soo if his appetite would got the bettor of his manners, tho lady not givo him any of the doughnuts. ‘Well,’ said he, returning to the sub ject, your cakes look nire.’ ‘Oh, very nieo, ‘said the lady, ‘they arc tho best I ever cooked.’ After playing with tho cat awliilo, he remarked; ‘And they smell nice. ‘Oh, yes, they smell nico,’ was the lady’s tantalizing answer. Said the boy, ‘I suppose if any young child was hungry should come in here when you wore cooking, that you would give him something Jie can eat ?’ ‘Well, yes I think I would.’ ‘Well,’ said ho, after another turn with tho cat, ‘I guess I must go homo for I am very hungry.’ ‘I wish, I had some doughnuts, but ain’t going to ask for them. It is needless to add that ho got a doughnut. ■ Damaged garments—Libel suits. Iligh-toned men —Tenor singers. Marrying a woman for her beauty is flko eating a nightingalo for singing. .

Newell fried. A lew years ago Andrew J. Nowell, a quiet, gentlemanly printer, came to this city from the South, nnd worked for a time on various morning papers us a “sub.” Ho was a man of more titan ordinary intelligence, and iu ad dition to the practical knowledge gained in the composing room, ho had a good classical education. Mr. Now ell had held several positions of trust, but his appetite fur stimulants being stronger than his w ill to resist, he lost them through negloetin.j- hi.; duties. After a short stay iu Now York, he shook hands with his friends and bade them adieu, saying was ho going to start for New Orleans. His last words, delivered, in u ray confident tone, were : ‘Boys, when I return T shall bo in a position to entertain you ut a good din ner at Delmonico's.” The following remarkable story from tho New Orleans Picayune, of tho 9th, throws light on wliat was passing through Newell’s mind when ho bade good bye to his fellow prin ters : Androw J. Newell, recently a com positor in tho Picayune office, met his death by violence, somewhere in Lake Pontefaartrain, about tho first of the present month. His body was found botweqn Salt Bayou and the Rigolcts. Iu his right breast wore two holes re sembling gun shot wounds. His pock ets contain papers that leave no room to doubt his identity. ITo was in search of the treasurer of tho pirato Lafitto. It is generally believed that an almost incalculable amount of wealth lies concealed on one of the is lands of tho Gulf, specific informa tion of tho whereabouts of this treas ure reached Mr. Newell in a sort of family tradition. Many years ago, when a ertlSado was being made by tho Southern States against tho Lafitte’s crow, it is said that tivo of the gang were cap tured nc#r the Rigolots—three men and two boys. Tho men were executed at once, but owing to tho extreme youth of tho boys, and the statement tint they were forced to join Laiftto’s band, they were suffered to go in peace. Years afterward, when ho had grown to man’s ostato, ouo of those boys obtainod shelter under tho roof of Mr. Newell’s father, in St. Tamma ny parish, where his mother "‘ill re sides. He was sick and toil worn, and tho family did everything in their jiow er to alleviate his suffering. But ho grew worso from day to day and final ly died. Previous to his death, how ever, ho called Mrs. Newell to his bed side, and saying that he had no means to recompense her, still thought it in Ills power to do her family a aervico. lie then related to her the fact of his connection with tho pirates, all of whom Lut himself wero dead. In one of tho islands -of tho Gulf they had secreted their treasure. lie knew tho placo, and would givo to her such spe cific directions that it eouhl certainly be found. Theso directions wore writ ten down, and preserved with scrupu lous care by tho family. Evidently they put implicit faith in tho state ments of tho dying man—so much so, indeed, that upon three occasions tho father of Mr. Newell started ia search of the placo. But there appears to be fatality about it. In-his first expedition the boat was wrecked, and he and his companions barely escaped with fheir lives. The second time ho was only two days out when the man ho had with him fell sun stricken, -and return ing homo with him he died tho next day. The third time he himself was taken violently ill, and had to return. Tho old man at this become supersti tious. He believed that some fatal impediment prevented the discovery, and guarded tho treasure. But ho transmitted tho secret to his son, and for years young Newell has boon per sistent in his desire to go in search of the wealth that lies hid in the Gulf. His first attempt resulted in failure. He afterward communicated his se cret to a, friend now connected w’th this oliice, first putting him under the obligations of au oath not to reveal it, and to never attempt the discovery un less by his direction or consent. So probable did this tradition appear to this friend, that, accompanied by Mr. Nowell, ho went iu search of the pirate’s wealth. But a storm came on. Their boat was dismasted, and the rigging torn and lost. After beam ing about in tho lake and gulf for ten days, they returned disheartened- — They did not reach the island they were in search of. Since then Mr. Nowell has been per sistent in Ins determination to go again. lie tried to porsuado Iris friend to accompany him, but the sad expe rience of his first expedition had dis abused it of its novelty, and induced him to abstain from prosocuting his search again. Mr. Newell went away in hi3 own boat, recently purchased and fitted up for the purpose. How he met his fate uo one can toll, but his sudden and untimely death gives room for specu lation on the remarkablo -fatality that has attended any search for the treas ures of Lafitto. Tho question “Docs getting drunk ever advance one’s happiness ?” would seem to bo put to rest by the Irishman who went courting when drunk, and asked what pleasure lie found in whis kev. “0, Biddy, it’s ft trait intin ly to ; see two of your swato, purty faces in- j steail of one. ’ Kcmiiiu for Young.

There was something pure in tho child standing modestly there in his patched clothes and half worn shoes, his collar coarse but spotlessly whito, his hands dean and well moulded. A long, shrill whistle, and a short, peremptory call, and Johnny must bej off. There was nothing to cliooso.— | My little Testament, with its neat binding and its bright steel clasps, was in Johnny’s hand. ‘Will you read it, Johnny ?” 'I will, lady, I will.’ There was a movement; wo wero off.
