Seth had been all day in one of his peri-

‘blovts or his bummer fad resounded mm a
sort of feverish persimmon intermingled
with a dolefhi wailiug’bi‘ palm-tunes of the
most lhgubriou's descrfiliion. .
These ‘ilh's ofindustry 011 Sam’ 3 part were
an affliction to usboysflspecialiy when they
‘ bsp'pen'ed to 001110 011 Saturday; for Sam
was as much a part 'of-‘ 001'- afternoon calcu-
lotion as if we had ‘a 101- deed of prop-
erty in him; and We bid been all day hang-
ins round his shop, lobking' m from time to
time in the vague 4‘Il1‘op70 that he would pro-
pose something to brighten up the dreary
monotony of a holiday in which it had been
impossible to go anywhere or do anything
“ Sam, ain’t- you coming over to tell us

7 “ Bless your soul and body, boys l
ain’t made to spend tellin’ stories. Why,

ly possessed with a spirit of the most austere
“ Here I be up to my_ neck in‘
work, things kind 0’ comin’ in a heap to-

_I think on’t. The‘ women hsn’t no bisness

“ But, Sam, Aunt Lois and Aunt Nabby
are both going over to Miss Mehitubel’s to
tea. Now you just come over and eat sup-
per with us and tell us a story, do.”
“ Gone out to tea, be they 1’" said Sam, re-
laxing his hammering, with a: brightening
gleam stealing gradually across his lanky
visage. “ We], that are looks like a provi-
dential openin’, to be sure. -Wul, I guess I’ll

comfortable meal of pork and beans had
been disposed of, and a 'mug of elder was
set down before the fire to warm. “I s ’peci
ye’ll like to hear a Down East story to-
night. "
Of course we did, and tumbled over each
other in our eagerness to‘get the nearest
place to the narrator.
Sam’ 5 method of telling a story was as
leisurely as that of some modern novel-
writers. He would take his time for it, and
proceed by easy stages. 7It was like - the
course of a dreamy,7 slow-moving river
hhrough'a tangled meadow flat—not a rush
or s=busl1 but was reflected in- it; in short,
Ss'm gave his philosophy of matters, and
things in general as he went along, and was
especially careful to impress an‘ edifying
I moral.
“ Wal,’ ye see, boys, ye know! was born

W517; ye see I rolled and tumbléd round the
world pretty cousld’able afore I got settled

Ye see my mother she wanted to bind me
out to a blacksmith, but I kind 0’ sort 0’-
did’nt seem to take to it. It was kind 0’
hard work, and boys is apt to want-710 take
life easy. We], I needle run off to the sea-

the ships come a sailin" 1n and out sofsort 0’

'a right to use it. He said sailors was apt to
there, and look oil' on the waiter; and it did -
the ear in the other place; one o shoviu’ on
’em this way and another bittin’ on ’em a
clip, and all growlin’ from mornin’ to-night.
I believe the way my cars got so long was
bein’ hauled out 0’ my berth by ’em; that
010’s :1 sailor’s regular way of wakin’ up a
boy. 7
We], by time I got to Penobscot country
011'! wanted to know' was how to get back
'aguin. That are isjest the way folksgo all
theirs lives, boys. Its all fuss, fuss and
slew till we get somewhere; and then its
files, fuss, and stew, stew‘,’ to get back again,
jump here and scratch your eyes out, and
jump there and scratch ’em in agin.
Wu], I kind of poked round in Penobsept
country till I got a berth on the Brilliant,
that was lyin’ at Camden, goin’ to sail to
Boston.
Ye see the Brilliant, she was a tight little
sloop in the government service ;‘it was in
'the war ~iimes, ye see,'- and Commodore
Tucker that is now (be was Capt. Tucker
then) he he'd the command 0n her,—_used to
run up and down the coast tskiu’ ovserva-
on ’em a nip here and a clip there, accord-
ing as he got a good chance. Why your
grandfather knew old commodore Tucker.
JIt ‘wus be that took Dr. Franklin over Min-
vessels, right in the middle of the war. I
‘iell you that there was like running through
the drops in a thunder shower. He got
chased by the British ships pretty consider-.
able, but be was to'os‘pry' for them After
"over John Adams, our lust MinisterI'loIEng-
land. A dreil‘ul sinart man the Commodore
was; but be most lik to hove béen took 'in
this .010 time I am a telling ye about, and
all because howas sort of soft-nestled to
the Women, Tom Toothacre told me the
story. Tom he was the one that got me the
berth on the ship. ' Ye see I used to‘ know
Tom at Newport, and once when he look
sick there my mother nussed him up, and
that was why Tom was friend with me and
got me the berth, and kept me warm in it,
too. T0m he was one of your toe] IMam
boys, that is hatched, so to speak, in water
like duck. He was burn away down ther
0n Harpswell Point; and they say if ye
throw one of tbemHarpswell babies into
the sea, he’ll take to it natural and swim
like a cork; of they hits their heads against
a rock it only dents the rock, but does not
hurt the baby. Tom he was a great charac-
her on the ship. He could see timber and
knew more about wind and water than most
folks; the oilicers took Tom judgment, and
the men all went by his say. My mother
she chalked a streak of good luck for me
when she nussed up Tom.
Wu], we was slain’ at Camden there, one
arternoon, goin’ to sail for Boston that night.
It was a. sort of soft, pleasant arternoon,
kind of still, and there wa ’nt nothin’ a. goin’
on but jest the babe 11 craw-crawin, and a
bistin up one foot and a boldin it a spell

tied out a pocketfhl of houses and forget
them; there weren’t nothin s stirriu orIgoin
on, and 'so we was all took shock, when
about four o’clock in the urternoon there
came a boat alongside with a tall, elegant
lady in 11,911 dressed in deep mournin; she
rated up sort of princess-like and come
what she wanted, 01-7 where she was goiu to,
none of us knew; she kept her veil down so
we couldn’t get sight of her face. All 'wus
brought down them colts May, and 1’ she must see Captain Tucker alone. right British naval officer I lose my bet. I’ve
been used to the ways on them, and _I knows

way, the captain he took her into his cabin,
and sot her a chair, and was her humble
servant to command, and what would she
have of him? And we all a. winkin’ and
nudgin’ each other,. and a peekin’ to see
what was to come of it ; and she see it, and
speak to the Capt. alone, and so the doors
was shut, and we was left out to our own
ideas and a wonderin what it was to be all
about.
\Val, you see, it come out afterwards all
about what went on; and things went this
way. Jest as soon as the doors was shut
and she was left alone with the Captain, she
busted out a cryin and a sobbin fit to break
her heart.
W11], the capn’n tried to comfort her up,
but no, she wouldn’t be comforted, but went
on a weepin and u 'wuilin and a wringin on
her hands till the poor capn’s heart was al-
most broke, for the cap‘u was the ienderest-
hearted critter that could be, and couldn’t
bear to see a child or woman in' trouble no-
“ O cup’n‘” said she, “ I’m the most un-
fortunate womun. I’m all alone in the
world,” says she, “and I don’t know what’ll
become of me of you don’t keep me," says
she.
W211, the cap’ 11 thought it was time torun
up his colors, and says he: “ Ma’ am, I’m a
married man, and love my wife,” says he,
and so I can feel for all women in distress,”
says he.
“ 0, well then, says she, “ you can feel for
husband’s just died suddenly when he was
up the river. He was taken with the fever
in the woods. I nossed him day and night,”
says she, “ but he died there in a miserable
little but far from home and friends,” says
she, “ and I’ve brought his body down with .
me, hopiu’ Providence would open some
way to get it back to our home' 111 Boston.
Then the cap' n_ see what she was up '10,
and he hated to do it and tried to cut her oil‘
of askin’, but she; wa ’nt to be put off.
" Now, Cap’ 11," says she, “ ef you’ll take
me and the bedy of my husband on board
to-night, I’d be willing to reward you to
any amount. Money would be no object to
me, ” says she.
W01, you see,- the cap’n lie kind 0’ hated
to do it, and he hemmed and bowed, and he
tried to‘ poligize. He said it was a govern-
ment vessel, and be didn’ t know us be had
be superstitious; and he didn't want ’em to
know as there was a 0011130 on board,
“Wsl,” says she, "why: need they know i’"
For you see she was. up to every dodge, and
she said sh’d come along with it at dusk, in
a box, and have it carried to state-room and
lie needn't tell nebody What it was.
We], Cap’ 11 Tucker he hung off, and he
‘ried his best to persuade her to have a fu-
11ers], all quiet, there at Camden. He prom-
iced to get a minister, and ’tend to it, and
wait a day till it was all over, and then take
her on to Boston free gratis. But ’twss‘ all
no go. She wouldn’ t hear a word to it. .
And she reeled 06' the talk to him by the
yard. And when talk failed she took to her
watehworks again, till finally the cap’ 11 said
his resolution was clean washed away, and
he jest give up book sad line; and so ’lwas
all settled and arranged that v7vlien evening
come she was to be alongside with her best
“and took aboard.
When she come out 0’ the capn’ 8 room to
go of, I see Tommy Toothacre a watching
on her. He stood there by the rsillu' a
home’s Tom Toothacrc. Look at her walk,
aboard 0‘“ ship and wanted to speak 1° woman living with a slap 1i] 0 that!” says
Capt. Tucker. Where she come from or he
says I.
so she asks, in a sort of princess way to body any chance for a talk with them; but
Itimeen one of them British prison-ships,
says he, “ that big box in the state-room
and kept a follerin’ on her.
as if she had steel springs in her heels.
“ We], Tom, what do you say to her 1’"
says Ben Bowlin.
“ I don’ t say nohliin’,” says Tom, and be
lit his pipo- , “ ’taint my bus’ ness,” says he.
“ Wal, what do you think!” says Ben.
Tom gin a hist to his trousers.
“ My thoughts is my own,” says he, “and
I calculate to keep ’em to myself,” says be.
And then he jest walked to the side 0’ the
vessel and watched the woman 9. gettin’
11311010. There was a queer kind 0’ look in
Tom’s eve. ,
Wu], the cap’n he was drefi‘ul sort 0’ on-
easy nrter she had gone. He had a long
talk in the cabin with Mr. More, the fast oili-
cer, and there was a sort 0’ stir aboard as if
somehhin’ was ugoin’ to happen we couldn' t
jest any what it w as.
Sometimes it seems as if when things 'is
goin’ to happen a body: kind 0’ feels ’cm
comin’ in the air. We'boysv was all that
way; of course 'we didn't know nothin’
’boutlwbut the woman wanted, or what she
come for, or whether she was comin’ high,
in fact, we didn't know nothin’ about it, and
yet we sort 0’ expected suthin’ to come, of
it; and suthin’ did come, sure enough.
Come on night, just at dusk, we see a boat
comm’ alongside. and 1110110,: sure enouph
was thelady' 111 it- ' .
“ There, 3110’ s comin’ agin,”' boys I to T001
Toothacre. , .
, {21.23, and brought her baggage with her,”
says Tom, and be pointed down to a long,
narrow pine box that was in the. bout be-
side lseIr. , 7 '
Jest then then the capn’n called on Mr-
Here, and be called on Tom Toolbacre, and
among 30111 they low cred a tackle and swung
the boxnbosrd and put it in the state room
alongside the csp'n’s cabin.
Mr. More, and her voice was jest as sweet
as any, and she went inho7 the stale-room
after they put the box in, and was gone ever
stlong with it. The cap’n and Mr. More
they stood a whisperin’ to each other, and
every oncc'in a while they’d kind of nod at
the door where the lady was.
Wsl, by and by she come out with her
handkerchiefato'iber eyes, and come on deck
and' begun, talkin’ to the cap’n and Mr.
More, and awisbin’ all kinds 0’ blessings
on their heads.
Wal, Tom Toothacre didn’t say a word,
good or bad, but be jest kept a lookin’ at her,
watcbiu’. her as a cat watches a mouse. Fi-
nally we up sail and started with a‘ fair
breeze. The lady she kept a walkin’ up
and down, up and down, and evtry time
She turned him her heel; I Saw Tom a lookin’
arter her and kind of noddin’ to himself
“What. makes" you look arter her so,
Tom ‘2” says I to him. . ‘
“Cause Ithink she wants lookin’ arter,
says Tom. “What’s more,” says be, “if the
have us all before morniu’. I tell ye, Sam,
there’s mischief under them petticuts.”
“ Why, what ye think f” 58379 I.
“Think! I don’t think, I knows! ITbut
are’s no gal, nor widder neither, if my
look at the u ay she turns on her heel! I‘ve'
been a watching on her. There sin ’1 no
"‘ We], who should the Critter be, then 2’"
“ Wal " says Tom, “ct that me ain’t it
their build and their step;”
“What do you suppose she has got in
“ What has she got. 9” says Tom. “ We],
ain ’.t ”
“ Why don’t you speak to Mr. More ?”
says I.
“ Wal, you see she' is a chippering round
and 11 making herself agreeable to both on
them you see; she don’t mean to give no-
I have got my eye on her for all that. You
see I bain’t no sort of disposition to sarve 0.
says Tom Toothacre. “It might be almighty
handy for them British to have the Brilliant
for 8 const vessel,” says be, “but, ye see, it
cannot be spared jest yet. So, madame,"
says he, “ I’ve got my eye on you ”
Wa'l, Tom was as good as his word, for
when Mr. More came towards ' him at the
wheel,Tom he says to him, “Mr. More,”
yonder wunts looking into.”
Tom was :1 sort of privileged character,
and bad a way of speaking up that officers
took in good part, because they knew he
was a fuel rate band.
We], Mr. More he looks mysterious, and
says he, “ Tom, do the boys know what is in
that are box 1’”
“I bet they don’ 1,” says Tom. “If they
had, you would not have got them to help it
aboar.
“ Wal, you see, poor woman,” says Mr.
More to7Tom, “ She Was so distressed. She
wanted to gether husband’s bedy to Boston,
and there wu’n’t no other way, and so the
cup’n he let it come uboar'd. He didn’t want
the boys to suspect what it really was.”
“ Husband’s body be hanged 1” said Tom.
“ Guess that are corpse ain’t so dead but
wh 1t there‘ll be a' resurrection afore morn-
ing, if it ain’t looked arter,” says he.
“ Why, what do you mean, Tom l” says
Mr. More, all in a blue maze. -
“ I mean that are gs] that’s been a switch-
ing her pitticuls up and down our decks
ain’t no gel at all. {final ore a British oili-
cer, Mr. More. You give my duty to the
Capt. and tell him to look into the widder’ s
bundbox and see what he’ll find there ”
Wu]. the mate he went and but] a talk
with the cap’n, and they ’gl‘eed between ’cm
that Mr. More was to hold her in talk while
the cap’n went and took observation in the
state-room.
So, down the 0’01) 11 goes into the state-
room to give a. look at the box. We], he

sure, and my lady had the key in her pock-
et; but the cup’ 11 he had a master key to it,
so he puts it in and opens the door quite
softly, and begins to take observations.
Sure enough, he finds that the screws had
been drawed from the top 0’ the box, showin’
that the widder had been tinkerin’ on’t when
they thought she was cryiu’ over it; and
then, lookin’ close, he sees a bit 0’ twine
goin’ them 0 crack in the box out o’ the
winder, and up on the deck.
Wu], the cap' 11 be kind 0’ goi' 1n the spirit
of the thing, and he thought he’d jest let the
widder play her play out, and see what it
would come to. So 'he just calls .Tom
Toolhscre down to him and whispered to
him. “ Tom," says he, " you jest crawl un-
der the berth in that are state-room and
watch that are box.” And Tom said he
would.
So Tom creeps under the berth and lies
there still as a mouse, and the cap’ 11 he slips
out and toms the key in the door, so that
when madame comes down she shouldn’t
’speet nothin’.
Putty soon, sure enough, Tom heard the
lock rattle, and the young widder come in,
and;then he heard a bit 0’ conversation be-
shsvln' up a plus 0' baccy to put inhis pipe.
He didn’t say a word, but 1170 sort 0’ took
the measure 0’ that are woman with his eye
She had a fine sort 0'. lively look, carried

7 cers, had formed a regular plot to take Capt. ’

'him', that’s where he was sure to be.
“What time is it ?” come in a kind 0’
hoarse whisper out o’ the box.
“ Well 'bout nine o ’,clock ” says she. ,
he. - {
“ When they’e all gone oii‘ to sleep; when
there ain’t but one man up. I can knock
him down,” says she, -“ and then I’ll pull
the string for you."
“The devil you will mu’m I” says Tomto
himself, under the berth.
“ Well, it’s darned close here,” says the
fellow in the box.‘ He didn’t say darned,
boys, but he said a wickcder word than I
can repeat, no-ways,” said Sam' m a paren-
thesis ; ‘lhcse ’ere British officers was dread-
ful swearin’ critters.” 7
“You must have patience a while longer,"
says the lady, “ till I pull the string.” Tom
lay them on his back a. lsughin”
“ Is everything going on right. 9” says the
man in the box.
“ All straight,” says she;
none of ’cm suspect.”
“ You bet,” says Tom Toothucre, under
the berth ;and he said he had the greatest
mind to catch the critter by the feet as she
was standing there, but somehow he thought
it would be better fun to see the thing
through according as they had planned it.
We], then she went of! switchin’ and
mincing up to the deck again and a flirting
with the captain; for you see it was agreed
to let them play their play out.

they despise, is a marvel to me. Why they

like her grandmother, in order to look like
a decent woman. It is not necessary she
should fox-swear ornamentation, because it
were better and more respectable to have it

HARP UN ERIN S’LOON,
IN THE erm Wm, N00 Yonx,
' July 6th,1870. ?
I run up to Noo York last week on special
bizness. I saw in :1 noosepaper that seventy-
five Chinese lied located theirselves in North
Adams, Massychoositts, and therein I saw a.
gloom of 1110er the Dimocrisy. Here, sed
I to myself, is, richnisl Here is wet will
wunst more fire the Dimocmtic heart 11‘
rouse Dimimratic‘ indignatiola. The Dlmoc-
rlsy must ulluz hev 0;; inferior race, and no“
that Wc’ v0 lost the nigger, P101 Kim-co sups
.in at the nick 111' time and Zurnisluzs 11:»: the
01111111111011.
lmmejitly on mv arrive], I sought out the
Dimocralic Central Committee 11v our oar-.1,
and called a meeting (1v "all labrin Ameri-
knns of the 6111 Ward opposed to the inter
duckshen of forin pauper labor into Ameri-
ky.” Teddy O’Ryan, which runs the Sham-
rock 91000 next door to mine, and Dennis
O’Shauglmessy, and Pat O’Flynn, and J em-
my O’Brien, all nv ’em runnin’ S’loons in
the block the Harp uv Erin is lokated in,
entered into the matter with sperit. We’re
rivals in biznis, but thank Heaven in poli-
tics we kin akt toge1her ez 21' unit. Our in-
terests are identikle. . I
We tried to git some shoemakers and brick
masons ond-sich to attend the meetin, but
they all insistid they wuz too bizzy.
, In the evcnin the meelin wuz convened
in the back room uv the Help nv Erin.
Teddy O’Ryan in the Chair, and Dennis
O’Shoughnessy (bar tender for Pat O’Keefe)
Sekretary. A Committee on Resolutions
was appointed, consisting uv Jemmy O’Fal-
Ion, Patscy McShane, and Jimmy Sheeny.
The Chairman remarkt that that the com- 7
in 11v the barberous Chinese to the Eastern
States 119.11 filled him with profound alarm.
Ez a laborin man he sollumly protested
Iagin bringin forin pauper labor to these
-l1appyI shores to compete with us. With all
his so' 0 110 protested agin 7lhis importasbun
uv poverty- -driven furriners to Ameriky.
He hoped the meetin wood do its dooty in
this matter. He wood interdooce to the
meetln a gentleman uv North Adams, Mas-
sychoosits, where this outrage agin Ameri-
kin labor wuz bein perpetrated.
Mr. La. Toureite riz and midi-est the meet—
in in Flench, 02 he coodent speak English,
he llbvin bin in this country‘ only ten
months. We procured a Frenchman wich
cood spéak English who translated him for
our benefit. Mr. Lu Tourette'remarkt that
the principal thing lubrin men bed to con-
tend with wuz importid pauper labor. The
Chinese wich 110d bin adventid in North
1 Adams wuz a inferior race wich cood live
on nothiu and cood" consekently work for
nothin. They bed none.uvIthe-habits and
tastes 11v civilizashen. They did not drink
Elikker; in fact one uv em, Ching Obey,
.didn‘ t. know what ljkker wuz. (Expresshun
11v disgust f1 om the entire assembly.) One
handled A1v his people bed bin indoost ten
months ngo 10 come to the Yooniied Slates
from L011 ex Canady by the promise uv ekal__
rites. i ‘lAc-m wich emigratid with him from
Lowex Cansdy hedn t anything in perlike-
in to eat in that country and still less to
wear; in fact the half uv em wuz bein sup-
portid by the parish authorities. We come
to the Yooniled States, the manufacturers
payin our fare on the railroads, expecting
'to find a-land uv good wages and plenty.
Who-t hoz bin the result? Why, jest 02 we
had -:1li jined the Crispins and established
who shood and who shood not labor in
North Adams, and likewise wot wages
shooclbe paid, and how they shood be paid, _
but before we got control uv the books uv
the concern, we are confrontid with forrin
pauper labor brought from a forrin shore,
and we are out in the cold. Mr. La. Tour-
ette remarked that when he sed “we” he~
spoke uv his associates. He didn’t labor
his scl—lhe wuz 11 f1 lend uv humanity, whose
bizuis it wuz. to organize labor-in men ugin
the encroachmenhs 11v capital.
Dennis O’Shaughnessy, our sekrctary,
wanted to know wat wages wuz paid them
ignorant Chinese.
Mr. Lo Touretie ansered about 24 cents a
day, wich anser, ez it wuz considered essen-
she] to put on record, I wrote down, ez Mr.
O’Shu.l1gl1nessey’s early educoshen- lied bin
neglected. “Good Lord 1” ejackilated Ted-
heels like corks fastened far into the middle ody Ryan, “ that’s only two drinks and a .
fifth. ' We want no sich labor 02 that.”
Father McGratb, after givin notice that..-
next Sunday a beautiful gilt image of St. .-
Boniface,7wich hed bin presentid his church,
11 00.1 be displayed for the adorashen uv ths
devout, démanded that the most stringent-
est laws should be passed preventin the 1m-
migrashen to this country 11v heathen and
idolators. He blecved in religious tolera-
sh‘en, but the ijee 11v 9. joss-house bein erect-
ed in N00 York filled 111111 with alarm, and
he 11 00c] prevent it by all the power uv the
law.
Jammy O’Fallon reportid the followin
