"Once upon a time," as the " story tel lers" have it, we were sailing down tbe great "father of waters," tbe Mississippi, ia the beautiful steamer "Goddess of Liberty," bound from St. Louis to New Orleans. We had onboard the usual variety of passen gers ; but for some unexplained cause, an unusual degree of tnonotoUy prevailed. 'Tis true, the card-players were at work, with their accustomed energy, and little groups of passengers were earnestly engag ed over the quiet game of "checkers," or "draughts," while one little oircle ouly were absorbed io that old but uow popular game "chess" A large number of paa seugeri were sitting io tbe forward saloon, gating listlessly at cacb other, apparently in a state of stupefaction. Being of an active temperament, and fond of excitement, we could not suffer ennui up on such au occasion to get the upper band of oa; to, with a view to kicking up soma kind of a rumpus for our own sake and the relief of the passengers generally, we walked boldly into tbe captain's office, and laid the hole matter beforo the distinguished com mander. " We have no music on board," the cap tain remarked, " or we might wake the pas sengers up with a little ' bop on the light fautastic.'" " Well," we replied (looking carelessly over the list on the passenger-roll) " we must have some exoitement, for the passage is really wearisome." Just at that moment our eyes fell upon a name distinguished in the annals of diablerie no less tirrsoiiege than the eelebrated wizard and t tnlriloquist, Signor B itz. Here was indeed reason for crying "Eureka," and forthwith we proceeded in search of the mysterious wizard. In a few moments lhe signor waa found, quietly repoiog in his state room, and the wbole difficulty (the occasion called for eloquence) eloquent ly laid beforo bim. Blitz consented to creale a little " harmless fun," as be term ed it; but the sequel proved more funny than harmless. But, without anticipating, lhe wizard entered the steward's apartment, and providing himself with a few huge sli ces of bread, and obtaining some of his little animate assistants, he an"0U"c1UJ)l2!.1';'. a good subject for on that selection depend ed the fun. We entered the forward saloon noiselessly, arm-in-arm, aivanecd toward the quiet, aleepy-looking passengers, who were collected together witnout aim or oo- ject. While runiiing our eyes rnptuiy around the saloon in search oi a vicnui, our alteution was attracted toward a young luau dressed in a deep suit of black, who was seemingly absorbed io a book, whioh he was attentively perusing. We "nudged" the signor, pointed signi6cantly at the young man, received from the former and affirma tive answer, by a quiet movement of the bead. The signor picked up a stool, sua seated himself unceremoniously between the young stranger and the end of the table nearby, i ni roof emeus arresteu mo tentiou of the stranger, who looked up in quiringly. " You aeem to be muoh interested in your book eir," the signor remarked. " les, sir, ne repitcu ; - a goou uuua is to me preferable to a good diuner." Signor. " That depends upon the length of time you have fasted. By tbe way, I did not see you at the dinner table ''' Stranger. "No, sir; I preferred my book." Signor. " Oue dollar is high for a sin gle moal ; I commend your economy." Stranger (iudignautly.) " I cat when hungry, whatever the price 1" Signor. " I spoke of economy because I observed some provisions in your hat " Stranger (io aa offended tone ) " Tro visions, sir t I orr j no provisiooi with me I always eat at tliej pallia tablo, and pay lor it too." Tbe wbole attc lion of tbe pasaensers was now centered upon the noeakors. and considerable iuterfit nmnifuaU'd by tlie company io tbe pejuliar subject under dm cumon Signor (lit'tioir if tbe cent's bat from bis side, and paaiug ij under tbe eyes of tbe entire group ) " io not wtab to offend you sir, but 1 see lire rjiite a supply of pro visions little merriment at the Tbis created not expense of tbe straner, which soon iucreas- , ed to a laugh, as tl wisurd drew forth slice after slice of bread;'rom the young uiaosjly uat. i ne strancrer y bis litis in oouIUbIOD, itu u.s aZu uia tue slgi ' slgnoi ;iLieu, with a smile, got up irlu Lis scat, aud uov ed toward bis state-room. " Frighlcued !'' says one of the lookers on, smiling at tbe audJcn disupp.arance of tbe stranger. Stranger (emerging from tbe stata-rooin.) " No ; not frightened exactly. I merely put away my book, because I Cud there is going to be some, fun aboard, and when there's fun about I want to be counted in, for that's my orte." Looker on (enthusiastically) "Good ! bravo, bravo 1 Go it, little 'un you'rs a match for bim." The stranger bad barely finished bis re marks, when a yelping and mapping was beard at bis heels, snd tbe passengers be gan to scatter, thinking a rabid dog was in their midst ; but a minute served to prove tbe barking and yelping another trick of the ventriloquist During the excitement about tbe dog, the signor seemed coustantly brushing some thing from bvhiud bis ear, and becoming much auuoyed by bead, requested amine In. neck trora the strauger s bosom a stna bT pig, which jumped and ran around tbe loon, as if pleased at being released from such an uncomfortable berth. Arain the aignor was seized with that periodical at tack of the wasp, tnd brushed in vain with bis bands to rid himself of the little tormen tor. Several of the passengers attempted to catch the refractory wasp, but each atten.f i proved futile, and the attacks of the msect upon the bead of the sigoor, soon became a portion of the general amusement for the passengers; the buzzing of the wa'p pro duced as much fun as any of the wizard's wonderful feats. During ail tbis time, the features of the stranger remained placidythougb bis bril liant black eye- flashed, and gavr. evidence of no small amount f mischief lut king with in. The ventriloquist having failed to affect tbe stranger, resolved to try again, appar- the young strauger.

During the singing, the signor was again pestered with the buz- zing ia his ear of that iudefiti2able wasp j and seemed utterly unahlo to free himself from tho pertiuacious insect. " Now," remarked the stranger, " as you insist I have beeu siutiing a song, though entirely unconscious ot me act mysen, 1 think it but fair that Blitz should favor us with a song in return." At the sound of Blitz's name, all were on the qui vive; and now as the character o the inveterate joker was understood, the j party insisted upon a song lilitz (earnestly.) -" 1 tell you, gentle men, I am no singer, never sang a song i .wnont eantrKnnillll 1.
