This here what I'm goin' to spin begun aboard of the ship Carolus Magnus, Cap tain Jackson, bound from Liverpool to New York, in the year 1848, jor there abouts ; I can't be partic'lar tc U year or so, and it don't much matter anyway. Taint no use telling you of the fust of the voyage, and niakin' a thunrin long .yarn out Of nothin', and so wet jist chip i i to about seven bells of anr.ful'- bad i light, our watch bein', up tryrn' for to f ul a double-reefed . topsail, heotlier watch bein' at the . mizzen at the same time, the weather showi' aful, and ftriat a change was jist to hand, we bein' t J git her wore round head to th suth'ard a id ea it'ard as quick as the Ldrd would let us afore it come in from the jno'th'ard a id west'ard and caught us ab jk. - It were the same old story, c!a!rryin' on to the last minit with the southerly wind, and then havin' hard work for tb git the c mvass in. I've said afore, anl I'll say it agin, that a double-reefed topail are a u jly thing for to furl in a galfeof wind. Tiiere'sso much slack leech thai's apt to blow up above the yard, and ill the rope ever drops on a man's liead, 'tisjso heavy tb at it's apt to knock him denseless." While we was up aloft the chante came ; the wind flew in to the nor-west blowin' awful, and with heavy big drop rain. The -yard had been braced in abaci with the port braces, and when the shift; come it filled the sail jistas we was a mliitenin' of ifc, and blowed itfour haijds like so much paper. Bellyin' awayup jibove the yai-d, it come down once witiiafiliot, and ,KiU J ohiteon and Harry . Williams, what Vir.,o 4- It' J- 4 , II..' . i n4 pore yara-arm, was; (knocked off, and went blowin' away to leeward. The rest of us managed for to Ihold on and leavin' the topsail a slattin'L we laid down for to brace the , yards alKnt flr,,l havin' got that done we hauledlliomfl tl, sheets and sei -the fore-toDsskTl double-reefed, there bein' n niore dan- - ger once the wind got shifted. ' i What made it worse in Bill's case were that he'd got spliced jist afore leavin' Liverpool, his wife bein' a steerage pas senger, tit course,- she took bn dread ful when Bill cornel home mis$in' next morniu', and it fell mostly to Jacfe Adams and Joe Carroll for to comfort lier, "they havin' been shipmates along df Bill in the last ship. Bein' in ditferentj watches, they was able betwixt 'em to giv' her constant comfort, and I must! pay they done their du ty. I've known .them ; men chop wood by the hour or do other chores for the cook, sd as to curry favor wiiu mm anajgit manavelms from the cabin to giv to this poor creetur, and I xuey never let" a watch ero bv without goin' down for to see how she were git tin' on and whether she needed anythin'. From carin' for her in this way;, both of 'em got to be dead sweet onto! her," and both of 'em got to be knowledgable abut the other's feelin's. j We was about in the latitude of fifteen when Bill went overboard, and there were 'a long winter's passage ahead of us, and so by the time we got nigh hand to New York the widder had kinder got over her loss, and couldn't but be very thankful to these here shipmates of Bill as had took sich care of her. ; Well, sir, time come when we was off Nautucket shoals, and due to be in; with luck, in a couple of days, and then it were and there that Jackj and Joe began to wonder as to which of 'em should splice the widder after arriving both of 'em seein' no other way out of I the mat ter, arid she bein to io took carp of. It wern't altogether a' matter of drityi neith er, come from doin' for her, as they had both got to be uncommon sweet onto bar, AJ ekl &forc, thero y$TQ ft hort way out of it, which- were r to ask her which of , the twoi she'd rather harebtii she bein recently in sich J rouble, and they beinr bashful like, neither of em liked j for to do this. It ' were then thought proper that they should be put face to eachothei Sn & 0Uist and the slack of iheirHrousers" beiif nailed fast to the chist lid, they should there and then fight it out, and the" best man take the widder. I This would have been done only for an old chap what we had aboard which sided agin' it. He were dreadful old arid ,tlie,arnacleswere a-growin' all down his back, and, of course, behy so long a seafarin, he knowed a heap. He said: " See- here," says he, "bein's; you two has always been friends, whats the use of fightin ? and besides," says he, "it stands to reason that if it's fettled in this way both of you will be well ham mered.; Now, the question are, will the widder; like a well hammered man as well as she'll like & man as ain't ham- mered and is all ataunto and sliip-shape- like, and my opinion ' arej' says he, " that .with a euchre deck thej thing can be settled better every way, tljiree games to be played and the best two to take the Widder Johnson. " This;here meetin' approval, that very same day in the last dog-watch Joe Car roll won her in two straight games. And that wern't all; jist afore thejr begun for to play, Jack, who had been a savin', feller all his life, says: 1IVe got a matter of J$500 or so in the savin's bank and Joe ain't got none. Now, if he wins the widder, it stands to reason he'll want this money, and if I don't wjn her it stands to reason that I shan't want it, and so I purposes for to put that in, the winnin' man to take the pilej " which it were Joe as done it in two straight games, and were spliced to the widder a week arter we got in by Pardon Hodge, in the Mariners' church in Oliver street. You see, sir, I don't suppjose as how the widder cared for to be spliced agin so soon, but what were she toj do? Here she were like a cat in a strange garret in this big city, where die didn't know a soul, and as you know, sir, j" necessity oft compels what decency forbids;" any way, spliced ! they were for a full dud, and Jack Adams shijs in the Black Ball ship Columbus and goes off to sea. It strikes me I went into the Marmion along with Captain Edwards, but I don t jist remember, and it don't matter a pin's worth to this yarn, but I know it were a year or so afore "Jack came athwart my hawse: agin, and then I stumbled over him one day in South street, near Dover. He telled me that he'd quit goin' to sea and was workin' along shore for Bill Dorian, the rigger, cause, hd said, his old woman ; havin' lost two! husbands agoin' to sea were bound for to hold fast to him anci keep him ashore and then he ups and he tells me that comin' home off of a Liverpool voyage he found the Widder Johnson were a Widder Carroll as well, Joe havin shippe in a bark bound to- Rio, and come lioine missinY bemcast away list to the no'th'ard of Cape StRbque, five of the drownded in thesurf, one o Joe ; an' it jist cohie nat'ral crew bein' 'em bein'. and were . Jack's plain duty for to splice the wub der, which he done. , I heerd the rest of this from Bill Johnson, him as w off the f oretopsTail yard that yarn, sir, as imocKeu night when ; om watch - was a trym' to furl that double-reefed topsail aboord of the Caro lus Magnus, which wereu't drownded, but come down easy like onto the top of a sea, and nigh hand of some wrecked stuff, which he hung fast to, and were picked up the next day by a English whaler bound to the Pacific, which were nigh onto five years i of a voyage 'afore ever Bill put his " foot on English soil agin, landin' in London and gittin' paid off, and shippin' into , a London packet for New York. Gittin' here, he falls to inquirm about his wife, and at last comes athwart of a shipmate as tells him of her marry in Joe, and of him gittin' drownded, and then of her; marryin' Jack kdams, and so he gits underway at once ipr the place! where she lived, amvin' there along about six o'clock of a evenin just 'as Jack were comin' home from his.wo, ftnd if you'd believe me, sir I told you first off this were a tough one who shoiild come up the steps of that house at thait verv iden tical time but Joe Carroll, which hadn't drownded at all, but had come nigh hand onto it,! and had been took care of by a Brazilian chap for a spell, till he got strong enough, and had then managed to fetch up atPernambuco, where he were took down with the fever, and went to a hospital for a many months, jgettin' out at last, and shippin' in a brigj for Balti more, from wliich place he had last come, and so here was the three of 'em, all there to once, whicli made the Widder Johnson say, as I said she said in the first of this ; " Too much of a good thing! are drea&ful? Well, bit, mu ioiu me they went in and talked it over friendly 1 ke, m of course, he said that she wernt to blame-fbrwhat-she'd done, and Jack and Joe wer'n t to blame .for what they'd done Here were her rightful and righteous husband come , home, and there were nothih' for the other two to do but to" sheer- 6ffi -Joe said he were sorry he t hadn't got home a week or so sooner, and Jack said he were sorry they'd either of 1 'em come home. He stashed the riggin'ihat'it might fall down and worship him business at once, and him and Joe ship- I peil aboard of the John G. Coster for the' East Indees. World. Peculmrities of Americans. A foreigner after traveling i the Uni tad States, writes as follows: It is in small, daily transactions that true liber ality shows itself. There are in. Europe many people the so-called penny-wise and pound-foolish includedwho will readily spend thousands of dollars out of vanity, when they know that they are looked at, and who will do a mean thing to save a few cents. Good specimens of Americans seem to me incapable of such a thing. They don't seem to know , any coin of less than twenty-five cents value, which is nearly a franc and a quarter. They won't give less to a bootblack or a beggar. Their hospitality has no limits. A man seldom takes a drink or a cigar here without giving away half a dozen drinks and cigars to those who happen to be around him. These meji, of course, consider themselves bound to return the treat, and the man has thu to take six drinks and six cigars instead; of one. He gets drunk in consequence, when he probably did riot intend to dp so. Butithis is a matter of small conse quence in a country where everybody drinks, and everybody gets drunk once ill a while. The interesting point in these drinking transactions for me is the reckless liberality with whih money is always spent by everybody. I do not believe there is any other nation in.the world whicli carries about ihore jjocket money, and spends it more j freely, than tlie Americans do. We :call almost every evening at Delmouicq's, and it is quite a sight to me to "watch. the fellows sitting in groups at the tables all around, telling wild: anecdotes, discussing poli tics or money matters, and drinking brandy and whisky. Every one of tliem must spend on this item alone two or three dollars every evening. That makes from 3,500 to 5,500 francs a year. An officer? has have in Europe j twenty-five years of distinguished military service, arid the rank of , a colonel or a major general, to!, receive for the support of himself and family the amount of money wliich an American merchant, broker, or politician spends on his eveiiing drinks. i i a j A Senator's Family. United States Senator Chribtiancy will have tp rise to a personal explanation in the Senate. A paragraph; has been going h.o rounds of the press! for several weeks to the effect that his recent wed lock has been blessed with an offspring. The sex of the child, the weight and even the name had been mentioned by j painstaking and accurate paragraphers. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Christiancy are writing their congratulations; baby clothing is being sent with tender mes sages from all parts of the land, and gifts of the orthodox sort. on such occa sions are showering in upon the Chris tiancy; family. Now, Senator Chris tiancy lis, an honest, sincere man; while he appreciates the thoughtf illness of his friends he feels that he is very unde serving of these kindnesses and fears that when the truth is known he may be accused of securing these gifts under false pretences. Mrs. Christiancy has no need of baby clothes, jieither has Senator Christiancy, nor have either o them need of toys and trifles of gold and silver, cups and spoons, that are being sent tliem. Thefact is thai they have been misrepresented before J the public byj a 'wicked and mendacious, press. They have no baby at their house and have not had one. Senator Chrietiancy's oldest child was born twelve years ago. The present Mrs. Christiancy has never been a mother. They are very grateful for the kindness of their friends, but it's a delicate matter and if worst comes to worst and the newspapers keep up this tdk the senator will rise in j his seat in the Senate chamber some day and de nounce the newspapers.

Could it haye Come down through ags. of gradual elimination from some liighly respectable pagan formula, sach as "I will swear by. jany of the gods," for instance ?

Jenny Collins is this little woman's name, and " Boffin's Bower " is the title of the institution which she has created-and maintains. j The Bower is as quaint as that in which the retired dustman listened to Silas Wegg's readings, and as comfort able. It occupies one floor of a building at the South End, and consists of a large room, which is ripen to working i girls alL day and every evening. Pretty pictures hang on the walls; magazines and news papers lie upon the tables; books are at the service of any one who wishes to read, and convenient lights for any one who is disposed to see. In short, it is a pleasant public parlor, and at first Miss Collins did not intend that it should be anything more. She had been a sewing girl herself, and she knew how long and djreary were the sewing girls' evenings, aijid how many were fairly forced to go irito the street far amusement by the de pressing dullness of home. For a year oj two she worked hard to make the place pleasant, coaxing elocutionists to rad, pianists to play and vocalists to sing for those whom she fondly called "my girls," and steadily refusing to ac cept any. assistance that would place her u ider obligations to any sect or party. Clhurch and benevolent societies fretted and whined at the ungodliness of the p' ace. Labor reformers, suffragists and prohibitionists denounced it because they could not papture it. But Jenny wias undismayed: her grirls loved her and stye was content.; Then came the great fire, and ,hun- arecis 01 women: iounu tnemseives on Monday morning with only the slender pittance received Saturday night between ? them aud stanration; Boffin's Bower was crowded with heltdess beino-s berreniiQ- -y- -x , O OO O IVJiss Jennie for advice; they did not ask for money; many of tliem were of the tough New England stock that will not tilke charity, from any hand, but they W3re clamorous for work. Poor Miss Jenny looked' at the picture of Betty Higden on the wall, and at her Ameri can sisters who ; stood around her, and saw that the time was come when she inrist work, not to make women's lives plieasanty but to enable them to- live at al , and she took up her burden cour ageously and never laid ic down She went to the leading manufacturers, whose bi ildings had been swept away by the flames, and showed them that it was for their interest to keep their old hands in th b city, and they one and all gave her money; she went I to a few men of Social influence and showed tliem that now was th 3 time for American families to secure American servants if they really wanted thorn, and they promised to talk in her be iialf , and they did. She went to the ch urches and to the persons who were 'distributing the funds subscribed for the su f ers by the fire; and they spurned her contemptuously, and she went back to her girls,: half angry and half joyful. Jibe distributed the money ) that she had obtained with a careful hand, but it "was gone at last, and she had to ask for mere.' She half I starved herself; she coaxed beds and bedding from furniture dealers, and gave lodging to a few of the girls; she begged provisions and gave food to others, cooking it herself ; and sh helped them! through the winter, and was happy, although almost ex hausted, j ... But this was not the tend. Boffin's Bower was known far and wide as a place in which a working girl was sure of a kindly reception and; good ad vice about seeking employment, and the pretty parlor was turned into an in telligence office it was known as a re fuge to which a woman might! go with out being asked insulting questions, or referred to some other institution around the corner, and its ' beds were, never empty.-- - H- ;7;r j Miss Jenny found time to attend to everything, . but hot satisfied, ; fihe ; an nounced that she would give free dinners to unemployed , girls during the winter, arid would haye !a fair to defray ex penses, arid she carried the plan out triumphantly, ' although the! amount realized was pitiable in comparison to that which many a fair for some chim erical humbug" has drawn from Boston pockets.'

"I '" THE ELECTOBAL BILL. . Freileutlixant :ludorqement of the Will as IudieflLttd an Rcturninic ft with L - y Tohe Senate of ihc United States I follow, the example ' heretofore" occa sionally presented of conimunicating iii this mode my approval of the act to prop yide for and regulate the counting of the vote for President and. Vice-President, and the oecision of questions arising thereon, because of my appreciation of 11 L '1 i Al J ine lmmineni peru 10 ine insutuiions o the country, from which, in my judg ment, the act affords a wise and consti tutional means of escape, j For the first time in the history of ou country, under the Constitution as it now is, a dispute exists with regard to the re suit of the election of the Chief Magis trate of. the nation. It is understood that upon the disposition of disputes touching the electoral votes cast at the late election by one or jmore of the States depends the question whether one or the other of the candidates for the Presidency is the lawful Chief Magis trate. The importance of having clearly ascertained by a procedure regulated by law which of the two citizens has been elected, and of having the right of this i high office - recognized and cheerfully agreed in by all the people of the repub lic cannot be overestimated, and-leadt, me, to express to Congress and to the na tion my great satisfaction at the adop tion of a measure that affords an orderly means of decision of a gravely exciting question. 1 1 While the history of our country in its: earlier period shows that the president of the Senate has counted the votes and del dared their standing, our i whole history shows that m no instance of doubt 01 dispute has he exercised the power of de ciding, and that the two oouses. of Con.- irress have disposed of all such doubts; .and. disputes, although in no instance hitherto have tliey been such that their decision could essentially have affected the result. For the first time, then, the government. of the United States jis now brought to meet the question as one vita! to the result, and this under conditions not the best calculated to produce an agreement or to induce calm feeling in 'the, several-branches of the government or am onk the people of the country.- a case, where, as now, the result is inj, volved, it is the highest duty of the law making jjower to provide I in advance a constitutional, orderly, and just method of executing the Constitution in this most interesting and critical of it pro visions. The doing so, far from being a compromise of right, is an enforcement of right and an execution'oTpowers confer red by the Constitution in Congress. . I think this orderly method has been secured by the bill, which,-! appealing to the Constitution and the law, as the.guidej in ascertaining right, provides a means pf deciding questions of single returns through the. direct action of Congress, and, in respect to double returns, by a tribunal of inquiry, whose decisions shall stand unless both houses of Congress shall concur in determining otherwise, thus securing a definite disposition of alj questions of dispute, in whatever respect tney may arise. , r ? With or without this law, as all of the States have voted, and as a tie vote is im possible, it must be that one of the two candidates lias been elected, And it would be deplorable to witness an irregular controversy as to which of the two should receive, or whicli shoidd I continue to hold the 6ffice. In all periods of history controversies have arisen as to the suc cessful choice of the chiefs of State's anv, no party or citizens loving j their country and its i institutions can sacrifice too much of mere feeling in preserving through the upright course of law their country from the smallest danger to its peace on sucn an occasion, ana it cannox. be impressed too firmly in the hearts of all the. nerrole that true liberty and real progress can exist only through a cheer-! f ul adherence to constitutional law. The bill purports to provide only for the settlement of questions arising from the recent elections.' The fact that such questions can arise demonstrates the ne cessity, which I cannot doubt will before loag be supplied, of permanent general legislation to meet cases which have not been contemplated in the Constitution or laws of the country. The bill may not be perfect, and its provisions may not be such as would be best applicable to all future occasions, but it is calcu lated to meet the present condition of the questions and of the country. The country is agitated. It needs aid, it desires peace and quiet and. harmony between all parties and all sections Its industries are arrested, labor unemploy ed, capital idle, and enterprise paralyzed by reason 6f the doubt and anxiety at tending ithe uncertainty oft a double claim to the Chief Magistracy of the na tion. . It. wants to be assured that the result of the election will be accepted without resistance from the supporters of the disappointed candidate, and ! that its highest officer shall not hold his place with a questioned title of right. 4 Ber lieving that the bill will secure these ends, I give it my signature. ! i I U.
