AWniBLlGIG. -

One day a party of three of us straysalt' waters took passage on board theUnited Kingdom, at that time the bigge.t, best, and eTery way finest fitted-o- ut

steamer ever sent afloat on the Canadian2d of Lake Ontario.

In o quarter of an hour after the United began paddling out of the harbor ofKingston we made the discovery that hercommander was Captain Joseph Whit-

ney, a some time salt water shipmate ofours, only two years earlier a Jack-be-fore-the-m-

with us in a Mediterranean voyage, and one of the jclli est, hand-some- st

chaps that ever hauled out a weather-ear-

ing.

Joe was a Jerseyman, of an oyster andclam fishing family down about Barnegal,all as poor as lapiand rats, and we fell towondering directly after finding himthere in command of the great lake lev-

iathan, how he got that sudden elimb upin the world ; and about the first ques-

tion that was put to bim after he had gotus snug into his state-roo- m and introduc-

ed us to his wife, a real clipper. Hackneyed beauty, fair as a rose, and hun-

dred and seventy pounds weight if shewas an ounceyes, it was natural enoughthat the first question we should ask thecaptain was:

Joe, what in the name cf Neptune putyou into such a berth Us this?1

'Why, Emily here, and a whirligigthe latter mostly,' Captain Joe repliedpromptly, chucking his pretty wife undertho chin and winking .wickedly, I'll tellyou how it was, gentlemen

'Now, Joe. my dear, you know' Mrs.Whitney Hushed like a whole parterreof roses, and held up her finger threateningly..

Yes, my dear Emily, I know and so I

do you But our shipmates here do not;and I am going to spin 'em the yarnof how I engineered a whirligig and gota wife worth having. The thing isn'tpatented, you know, an just as likely asnot some one of 'em may catch a wife inthe same way if they cruise round in thewoods out West through the winter.'

Madam Emily protested, but CaptainJoe promised to steer by the truth, keepon the weather-sid- e of modesty andmake a short splice of the affair altogeth-er, so finally Eve consented with severalextra blushes, and the Captain set hisreel agoing.

You ree shipmates, Emily's fatherowns the controlling stock in the Un'tedKingdom, and travels up and down thelake a good deal on board of her. WhenI first came on the lake I happened to geta wheelman's berth in the Frontenacthat was the General's boat, too and ashe used-t- o go up and down with us aboutevery other trip, almost always had Emily along with him. . Now, Mis3 EmilyMcClure wasn't a mite proud, and she

used often to come into the pilot-hous- e

and listen to my salt yarns and chat so-

ciably with me, and before the end of the

season we'd fallen five fathoms in love

with each other. But then, you see.Geueral McCluer the richest man in

the Gore District, Emily was his only

child, and so far to windward of me in

every respect, that there was no hope of

my ever working up to her latitude, car-.-- 7

sail as I would. Thunder ! GeneralMc(7i.,ire would as soon thought of givir.g

v.. vr .his daUgiTi?r tt passage uw xnagaiaFalls in stonO and iron paddle as

be & a com Jack tarto have giveufor a wife.

However, the General t(C fancy

to me, and when the steamer' laid u'p D

Toronto for the winter, proposed to me

that I should stay by her under wage

all the time, and go in her arain as

wheelsman in the' spring; and further-mer- e

the General invited me to run out

to bis place about six miles from town

and make him a visit as often as I pleas-

ed during the winter.I accepted both propositions, and by

the time the old Frontenac had been a

month in winter quarters I had madethree cruises out to Avondale, the Gen-

eral's fine country estate, and began to

be almost as much at horn 3 there as Iwas on board the steamer.

My fourth cruise, I think it was, was

made on Sunday morning, and on my

way out I met the General and his wife

in a sleighj driving in towards town. He

hove to for a minute ot so and hailed me:Bound for Avondale Joe V

Aye, aye, sir.''Very well away you go. Mrs. Mc

Clure and I are going in to church,- - andwe shall spend toe evening in town ; butyou will find Emily at home, and hercousin., Jessie Sutherland, is with her.So, between the pair of them you willnot miss us-muc- Go ahead, my lad,aud entertain the lasses.'

Well, I went ahead, and a little whileafter my arrival at Avondale, Emily andher cousen Jessie, a most magnificenteighteen year old romp, proposed an en-

tertainment that I had never heard cf be-

fore. I was to build a whirligig, andgive them a jolly ride oa it, and I did.

Out about a quarter of a mile from themansion was a pond of water, frozenover solid, the ice smooth as glass, witha few stumps sticking" up through it there,and all around the edges a perfect tangleof brambles, briars and dry snags, twist-

ed and tied a.Bf frozen into the ice in allsorts of shapes.

Under the superintendence of the girls,I cut a hole through the ice in about, themiddle of the pond, in a spot tolerablyclear from stamps, thrust down into themud a strong stake, so that the upperend was about four feet above the ice.

Then I brought a long pole of dry, lightwood that had done service before in tnatcapacity, and having a three-inc- h holebored through it some seven or eight feetfrom the butt end. Inserting the top ofthe stake, rounded for '.he purpose, intotjie hole, there was a horizontal sweepwith the long arm some thirty feet, acdthe short end some seven or eight.

While 1 was aehieving this part of themachine, the girls had brought out onthe ice a hand-sle- d, bed-cor- d and twobushels of so of ashes. The fitfer ma-

terial was strown on the ice in a circlecorresponding to the short end of thesweep, to prevent the .Joe-comtiv- e slip-

ping the tracki don't you see ? Then to

the switch' end of the sweep the hand-sle- d

was attached by the whole length of thecord , and the two bouncing girls mount-

ing the fifed!, Emily sun& out 'Get up.Joe !' and Joe get up and went with allhis might.

I had gone round the ash course, I sup-

pose about fifteen times, legging it mybest licks, while the sled, at the end ofthe long cord, had all the time been wid-

ening its orbit, going diagonally swifterthan ever arrow cut the air, and therewas only a faint Hoish streak of pitti-coa- ts

whizzing around me, when all atonce, as quick as lightning, rip, capsizedthe sled, and went the ice riders,both feet foremost, shooting off in differ-

ent directions swifter than ever swallowcleft the air.

. As said, the girls shot off feet fore-

most, and in a second every rag of dimi-

ty they had on slid back over their heads;the ice was as smooth as anything couldbe, the plump, round lassies were fivetimes smoother, and they darted in endswifter than greased, high pressure light-

ning.

Jessie run her race out in about threeseconds, by going straddle of a stumpwith a chuck that brought her to sit-u- p,

and there she sat bewildered onthe bare ice, hugging the old stump andwondering who made her. Emily wentclear of everything till she went in amongthe snarl of briars, snags and brambles,and then '

Now, Joseph, please stop there !'

pleaded Mrs. Whitney ; her face as redas a ripe tomato, and hid behind CaptainJoe's straw hat.

What's that, my deaf, cut adriftright in the richest part of the yarn ?

Ncnsense. Well, shipmates, there was

a jJancing white streak in through thethicket, followed by a sort of haze of lint,and when I get Emily out of that snarl Ihope to be happy it her dress all told

wasn't her shoes, a pair side comps

ana string of gold beads. But Jupiter

gicry ! wasn't Emily striped ! Red

white the whoJe length of her. If she'd

only had the Hue laid in regularly shewould have been a superb American flag,wound round the most artistic staff everfashioned in this world.

I got ray pea-jack- et from where I had

thrown it off at the' whirligig, and but-

toning it around Emily, it cpverej herpretty well as far down as the knees, andthen she insisted upon my going to Jes-

sie's assistance, while she scud for thehouse through the snow, her bare le gsstripped .and checked, off with blood,made her look somewhat like one of theSeventh-nint- h Highlanders in hiv winterOvercoat.

I found poor Jessie still sitting flat onthe ice, hugging the old stcmp, and thegirl was so chilled through and shockedmorally and physically, that she could

scarcely stand. However. I managed by

vigorous chafing of her nether limbs andperson, with my hands, to excite a circu-

lation ; it wys no condition of affairs toadmit of pretended modesty and shamdelicacy ; and as Jessie Sutherlandfar too bulky a cargo for my carryingcapacity, the only alternative was to puther in a way to help herself to the house,and my somewhat rough treatment soondid that. .

There was only three of us about theplace, no doctor nearer than Toronto, noone to send for him ; the general and hiswife would not be home till late iit theevening, and there t was, with the twoyoung ladies, to do the best I could, andunder the circumstances I think I. did it

don't you, Emily VNow, Joseph Whitney, you're a bear!'Ves, I know, my dear ; but not quite

so bare as Miss Emily McClure was be-

fore getting into my pea-jacke- t, and af-

ter she came out of it again until I hadwashed and tinted, and anointed her fromend to end, fore and aft, alow and aloft.Upon my word, I dont believe a sergeonever had so extensive a practice on anyone woman in this world. Howe vertnone of my patient's hurts were verydeep or dangerous, and in an hour or so

I had gone over the whole premices,carefully dressing Miss Emily's scratch-

es, and then as carefully dressing herselfdoing her up just a3 comfortably a? anyfour surgeons and ladies' maids in Can-

ada West could have done the thing, on-

ly not quite so artistically, perhaps.'Thea I tock Miss Jessie Sutherland in

hand, and by the time I had so disposedof her case, that she declared she felt al-

most as well as she ever did in her life, Ibegan to fancy that I had as correct ideasof superficial anatomy as any surgeon inBritish America.

When General McClure and his wife

returned.we frankly told the whole story,and as both of them had for sometimeguessed the drift of Emily's and my own

inclinations, Mrs. McClure, in her hon-

est Scotch fashion, suggested to the gen-

eral something like this r

Noo, John, as the lad kens mair aboot

the lassie than ony ither mon '11 iver be

likely til ken a hint the bridal bed, is itnae bette r to gie ner til him a the grther?'

The general, very greatly' to our sat-

isfaction, agreed entirely with the old la-

dy, and suggested that I should take hisdaughter not exactly as I found her af-ter4h- er

sudden side into ihe bushes andbriars but as she was likely to be thatnight three weeks. There was no hesi-

tation on either side, and after the thirdSunday Irvti that evening, tnefe' was noEmily McClure at Avondale.

But there was a Captain Joe Whitneysuperintending the steamer United King-

dom, then building in Toronto; GeneralMcClure having decided that a wheels-

man's berth was not quite a proper avo-

cation for his son in-la-

So you see, gentlemen, a whirf-a-gi- g

whirled me into command of the finestcraft along this line of lakes, and into myarms the choicest sample of dimity in theUnited Kingdom.

A Wesferh pettifoger once broke forthin the following indignant strain: "Sir,we'er enough for --the hull of ye. Meand my client can't never be intimidatednor tyranized over; mark that. And,sir, just as sure "asf this Court decidesagainst us we'll file a writ of 'progander,sir, and we " Here he" was interruptedby the opposite counsel who wanted toknow what he ment by a writ of prcgand-er- .

A young man, who is the least bit fe-

minine in his appearance, parting hishair in the middle, etc., recently went toPhiladelphia; and while there was takenwith a severe fit cf colic. Stopping at a

hotel, he put himself to bed and sent fora physician'. The doctor came, felt hispatient's ptrlse, examined his stomach,

and inquired solemnly if his habha wereTegular,'5 tnf which the young man,

somewhat surprised, answered in theThe doctof thea cautiously

and politely informed his patient that hissymptoms nrsnifekted some probability of

an increase of the census in a short tirse.The surprise of the colic-stricke- n youngman at this singular announcementonly eqaalled by that of the doctor when

he discovered the true sex cf thepatieat.

A fearful giant in the shape cf a barn-

yard. fowl has been introduced into Scot-

land from Central India, called the 'Be-

gum Gaynsa," a cut of which is given inthe August number of the American Ag-

riculturist. The male is thirty incheshigh, and appears like the Shanhai, ex-

cept that on the head a couple of minutehorns arise, instead of a comb, from aheavy base which projects some distancealong the upper side of the bill. Thewattles are also larger and fuller. Thechickens of this kind of fowl, it is report-

ed, grow to the weight of eight pounds

at seven acd eight months old limbs ofcourse included. We have no account ofthe laying properties.

Moffat, the daring agent of the Lon-

don Missionary Society in South Africa,who, for twenty-thre- e years, was expos-ed to all the perils of general resident,and travelling supervisor of the society'soperations in that wild region, has giveniii o v striking and memorable anecdotesof the lion. We quote one, in his ownlanguage ;

'The old lion, when in company withhis children, as the natives call them,though they are nearly as big as himself,or when numbers together happened tocome upon game, the oldest or ablestcreeps to the object, while the otherscrouch on the grass ; if he be successful,which he generally is, he retiree fremhis, victim, and lies down to breathe and

rest for perhaps t quarter of an hour ; inthe meantime the others draw aroundand lie down at a respectful distance.When the chief one nas got his rest, hecommences at the abdomen and breast,and after making havoc with the tit-bi- ts

of the carcase, he will take a second

rest, none of the others presuming to

move. Having made the second gorge,he retires ; the others watching his mo-

tions, rush on the remainder, and it is

soon devoured. At other times, if a lienseizes the prey, and an old one comes

up, the younger retires till the elder hasdined.''The following fact will show tbe fear-

ful dangers to which solitary travellers

afe sometimes exposed. A man who

was returning homewards from a visit to

his friends, took a circuituous course in

order to pass a small fountain, or ratherpool, where he hoped to kill an antefope

to cary home to his family. The sun had

risen to some height by the time hereached the spot, and seeing game,he laid his gun down on a shelving low

rock, the back part of which was covered

over with a species of thorn bushes.Being a httte tired, he fell ftsJeep. In a

short time, the heal reflected from therock awoke him, and, opening his eyes,he saw a large lion crouching before him,with its eyes glaring in his face, and

within a little more than a yard of his

feet. He motionless for some min-

utes, till he recotered his presence of

mind, then eyeing his gun, moved hishand slowly towards i: ; the lion, seeinghim, raised his head and gave a tremend-ous roar ; he made another, and anotherattempt, but tha gun being far beyondhis reach he gave it tip, as the lion seem-

ed weli aware ot his object, and was en-

raged whenever he attempted to moreh? hind. His situation now becamepainful in the extreme ; the reek on which

he sat became so hot that he could scarce- -

ly bear his caked feet to touch it, and

kept moving them, alternately placing oneabove the o'her.

"The day pasted, and the night also,but the lion never moved from the spot ;

tii sun rose again, and its intense heatsoon rdered his feet past feeling. Atnoon, the liou rose and walked to thewater, only a few yards distant, lookingbehind as it went, lest the man shouldmove, and seeing him stretch out Lishand take his gun. tamed m a rage.He vvithd rew his hand, ?tnd the animalthen went to the water, drank, and re-

turning, lay down agait at the edge ofthe rock. Another night passed. t

"Next day in the forenoon, the ani-

mal went ngain to the water, and while
