A Very Hard Case. On the 2d of, November 18—,I quitted Liverpool for Boston in the R0 , Mall Steamship “Caledonia.” As I stou on the wharf ready toembark, I saw a. man whose face was not unknown to me moving to and fro with an uneasy air, asking to speak with the captain of the ship. ~ The history of this person who was the ssessor of a great fortune and was well own in Paris, ieiworth telling. It is both sinister and amusing. “Captain ‘1 ca tainl where is the captain?" exclaimed M. x— The captain make his appearance. “My trunks, Mr. Captain! where are my trunks f” The captain said in English, “I don't un- derstand you." . M. X—said, ,“Hang such a language! Why don’Hhe English speak French ? It It would be far more convenient all round. Good heavens! If! only knew where 'my trunks were." ~ . Seeing M. .

X took me afiectiouately by the hand, saying, ,‘fflhat a service (you do me, siri Ihave eightfileii'trunks an —" . “You have eighteen trunks l” I exclaimed with great astonishment. . “Yes, and they are none too man a man is going to the new world. nately, here I am about to sail and I cannot find my trunks highor l0w,—although-eighs teen trunks are anything but like" a needle in a haystack." I made inquiriefi and M. X—‘s eighteen trunks were foun and put on board the steamship. An hour afterwards we were at sea. The sea was smooth but the wind was freshenin ,and threatened foul weather for the next a , _ . M. X— said to me, in a disdainful tone, “I am disappointed in the ocean. It is wide, £38133” you, ' and 'deep, but it is perfectly t. when nfortu- “Itisnot always flat; and perhaps you may regret lo-morrow that it is so high." “My opinion is,jsir.the ocean has been overlauded to humiliate the rivers; which is all the greater injustice: for I should like to knowwhat would become of the ocean if it was not fol-“the rivers. I assure you, I “ve no private reasons for landing 'rivers to the ocean's" detriment; but I do love jus- tice, and Imustsay the oceanris very fiat.’ . The wind trashened more and more.— Presentl - _ , p, labored .as’ she plough her way'through the waves, which 5 at first were slight can b but now began ‘ to swell and break Will‘llgfilry on the steam- ship'e. bow. . M. X— began to look pale. I, too, be- can 1:11; feel the first effects of the vessel’s pitc g. He said to me, “I don't know what is the matter with me to-day; but I don’t feel well." “Nor do I.” . “And yet I ate a very hearty breakfast" “80 did I ” uBriirco'ii't think I shall dine with so good an appetite." “Neither shall I.” “The trouble seems to be with the atom- “A .11 ' “It is v odd."
