"Well, I don't sec why I fclioulil not scratch it down. There's nothing1 to he ashamed of in it, so far as I know, and though regular story tellers mayn't call it "romantic," I think the wind sets that way myself, and there's a bit of love in.it, too, though you'd never think I was a sub ject for a lore story, to look at me,I'in old enough, d'ye see, to fed safe above the draft, and brown enough to be a Hottentot; and as for llesh well, no matter; sonic of jrou slim young dan dies will he as stout as I, if you'll live as long. Besides, that fracasat Gibral tar didn't improve my looks. I'll tell yon about that before the story is over, 1 reckon ; at iircscnt Jl better hc:vo ahead. Fataslam,and old as I am, there was a tirr.e when I was as slender a young fellow as shipped before the mast agin his parents' leave. They, Lord bless 'cm! wanted to make a counter-jumper of me, and I tried measuring rags about a year. Then I could not stand it any longer, jumped the old coun ter, and cut and went to sea. I'd a hankcrin' for it a good while, and the only thing I ever regretted was the Avay my poor mother took it to heart. Wait a bit. Honor bright, there was one thing. There was Jenny Blush, old Blush's only daughter, and the prettiest girl I ever cast eyes on. Her skin Avas just as soft and fair as any baby's. As for her hair, i're got a bit in my old desk up stairs ; and though it has crossed the ocean about a dozen times, it's so bright now you'd take it for a gold chain coiled down under the bit of blue ribbon it's tied with. Old Blush was my Captain ashore. I mean that he was the head of the big dry goods store where they first sctmc to measuring rags, and Jenny used to come over every day after ribbons and calico and the like; and Lord love ye! I don't find fault with women folks looking after such things, though it didn't seem a man place to sell 'cm. She looked mighty pretty when she put them on. Father and old Blush were fast friends, and when they found out that I was sweet on Jenny they put their heads together and re solved to sanction the match. I was to be taken into partnership, d'ye see, and was to step into the nig ou.siness when the old gentleman stepped out. Dry Goods, Wholesale and Jletail," was the sign but I always called 'cm rags. Well, Jenny and I were fond of each other, and knew it already; so, the ohl folks being agreeable, we saw a good deal of each other, Sundays and evenings, to say nothing of the errands she ran to the store. And I used to wish I could makeup my iiitinl to it and sLay ashore; but I could not if I died for it. I heard the waves beat ing about my hca.l iu my die mis. 1 hated the cloth, yard and' scissors so they made me ill. And. one night I told Jenny so. She cried a hit; hut by and by she owned that she didn't hale me for it; and we talked over the lime when l'&.ho:il-l be a Ca tain, and she could make every voyage with me, and have a cabin like a parlor to herself. Then she let me kiss her. P'raps she kissed me back; and I cut oil" the yellow curl I told you of with a pair of scissors the only pleasant job 1 ev er did with the confounded things in all my life. That night I ran away, and though I blubbered like a child when I passed mother's door you couldn't have coax ed me back again. What a man wants to be he will be ; and there are men meant from their cradles for water as sure as the fish are. 1 got a letter from old mammy that cut mc up; but I knew she'd come round, and I didn't guess the worst how should I? When it first came to mc that a man who sold rags was bet ter than a sailor it took iny breath away. This was when I first went home, d'ye see? Mamma scolded and cried and kissed me, but Margarel, Melinda and brother Charles Augus tus pitched into me ferociously. Says they: ' You've disgraced your family Ave liaArc been respectable genteel folks all our lives and now avc are to have a common sailor for a brother ;" I taught it a regular gale, and father Fut injjis oar regarding disobedience, cleared out and went over to old Blush's. Nobody Avas at -ionic but Jenny, and she rushed into my arms. Well, wo were billin and cooin' as sweethearts mostly do, I reckon, when old Blush came home to tea. 1 never heard a gale of Avind roar louder than he did when he saw me. "What do you want here, sir?" ho asked. Savs I, '-Don't von recollect me, Mr. Blush? I am Jack Ballast." Says he,"I recollect you avcII enough and how dare you sIioav your face here?" Says I, "I came to sec my Jenny." "Your Jenny?" says he. My good fellow. Miss Jennv Biush is no match for a common sailor before the mast; and Avhatever might have been be twecn you when you Avere cntitlAl to my respect, it is all OAer now. ' You have your choice of quietly walking out yourself, or of being kicked out." Any one but Jenny's lather Avould have been floored i'or that. I just Mooked up and doAvn and saw my lists shut up of themselves and tried to keen 'em so. Says I, as cool as I could, "I don't mean to be before the mast all of my life sir. I expect to be Captain some day." "And," says old Blush, "a man with no advantage, brought up to the sea, might boast o' that ; but you might have been a partner in our firm, sir. You'might be a gentleman, aud haAc as good a business in the dry goods line as any man alive. And you have chosen to be a roving rascal. And I'd sec my daughter in her grave before I would give her to you. Sam, show this person out." This was the servant just come aboard the parlor Avitli the coal hod. Ad Avhcn lie said that my fists Arere beyond my control, and the last I saw ot old Blush he Avas on his back on the hearth rug. Then says I to the darkey, "Touch me if you Avant to, you rascal," and stalked out. T saw Jenny on the sly the next day and tried to get her to run away; but tlie girl had a Avill of her. own and knew her duty. Says she, "I can't disobey my father, jack, l love you clearly, and I'll nev er marry any one else ; but it must be all over between us. I don't think that he would have relented even il yon hadn't been so violent; but now he never will. You'a-o done it your self, Jack," turning quite Avhitc and looking aAvay from me. "You liked the sea best, and you have got it in stead of mc." Those were the last words she said. I was going away Avhen 1 heard her gi'ca little cry, andj turning, saAV her arms stretched towards me; then I Avent back and folded her to my bo som, and kissed her a hundred times. And I'm afraid I cursed the hard old father from the bottom of my soul, though it wasn't aloud, for mind ye, a woman i3 a Avoman, and words good enough for other men's cars ain't to be spoken before her. The sight of Jenny a3 I left her, Avith her yellow hair blown back, under the bare tree branches, all bright Avith icicles, haunted me for many a long day; and, liouirh I loA'ed the seas, there Avcre times, when looking over the sides, I used to fancy a voice deep down in the waves Avhispering her words over again : "You've done it yourself, Jack; you liked the sea better thanme,and you'ro got it," It doesn't take long for the years to go by, cither on the land or on the ocean. They Avent Avith me as Avith other folks. I got on well enough. Before I knew I Avas second mate, then first mate, then Captain. I suppose I should have sailed the sea until they buried me in it, if it hadn't been for the first mate Tom Hamlin. I loA'ed that fclloAV as I loved a brother, if I'd abetter one than Charles Augustus. At Gibraltar Hamlin got into a row Avith some English soldiers. They'd all been drinking together; of cours0 I took his part. They had firearms about them, and used them on each other. I didn't save Hamlin, for they shot him dead ; b.it I got a couple of bullets in me, and Avas picked up just as near Davy Jones' locker as ever a man Avas who didn't go into it. I got well again, and was on the invalid list; and just as I had laid up a handful of money and was past 40, I made up my mind to stay at home and take care of Tom Hamlin's orphan children. He had two of them, both girls. I settled down in New York and fetch ed them home, poor half-starved crea tures; for the Avoman they boarded Avith Avas giA'ou to drink, and kept them en bread and treacle, and as they told me 1 must, I put them in black frocks I hey would hare felt just as bail in red and settled dOAvn to make myself comfortable. Soon I looked out for a chaplain, lo pass Sunday as it ought to be, and tlie Itev. Jucn Tucker's church being handy, I ship ped along with the girls, and, as I al Avays did my duty, I never pretended not to see the plate Avhen the steward shoved it up our pew. Theliev.Eben Tucker Avas a sociable n.an. He use ! to drop iu every evening and talk to mc about my soul ; and though I can't say but what I dropped asleep some times, lie knew liiscluty when lie did it. A Captain's duty is one thing, and a chaplain's is another. One day he spoke about poor Ham lin's gal's. Says he : "You send them to school, I hope." Says 1: "I haven't done it rals are better without learn ing, if they can read their Bibles and cipher out the butcher's bill." JJut lie kept on, and prettv soon 1 let him examine them. Lord love vc, thev hardly Knew their letters. The schooling, as well as the board, had gone for gin. "the poor heathen are scarcely more benighted." said our chaolain. lie in sists on my saying pastor, but t'other sounds the best. "We must find an instructress for them, Captain." "SHirelv , said I I wanted to do tlie best by Tom's children that I could "surely ; just mention a schoolmai m, chaplain." Said he, "Mv own arc under the care of the person who plays the organ a h.glily estimable lady m reduced cir cumstances. Her school is close by No. Broome street." So he Avrotc (he name and address on i rai d, and I promised to take the girls . here. Monday morning Ave took sail. I nought 'cm spelling books and satchels an i slaies, and by D o'clock re wrcre at the door. I hen I looked for the card, -tu I, behold ye, I'd lost it! HowcAer,I was in port and could ha'd the lady as Sciiooliti.irm.?' Bct.sc' Avas Aviping her eye, and Teg was bawling out that she Avaided io go home. But says I, "No, no, gals, I don ; want you to grow up benighted as ihc heathen, and that's what the chaplain calls ye now." So 1 lugged 'etu in and made my revcrenci'. "Duty, ma'am," says I : "here's two girls as" needs instruction. The l'ev. Ebcn Tucker recommended ye to give it 'em, and whatever extra it is for 1 1 1. ay in' the organ let 'cm larn it; for it is you that works in the top loft o' Sundays you know -how to do it. Captain Jack Ballast, at your service. Stud your bills to him, aud he'll foot cm!" I ain't bold with women. I'm a bit bashful before strange uus een yet. And I hadn't looked at her. But when 1 spoke out my name she gaAo a little scream and started back. Of course I couldn't help looking at her then, and she was sitting down Avith her hand kerchief before her face. Says I, "Beg pardon, arc you ill, mum?" Said she, still not looking up, "Did vou wiy vour name Avas Captain Bal last?" "Jack Ballast, at jour service," says I. Says she "O, Jackl don't you know me?" Says I, "Look up and I'll make pure." And she lifted up her face and I saw well, it wasn't Ihc dimpled checked girl I knew. It wasn't t girl at all, but in a minute it was Jenny Blush again a great deal more than I Avas Jack Ballast. "Jenny," says I, "oh Jenny, is it really you?" And then the color came into her checks, and her eyes glittered, and she whispered, "Oh, not before the school Jack," for I had caught her to my heart and kissed her. We had not much time to palaver, then, but I came again to her in the evening and took her for a Avalk. And she told me Iioav the rag shop had been shipwrecked, and old Blush dropped dead of apolexy Avhen he knew it. Aud how my brother Charles Augus tus had otTered her his hand, but she said no, and preferred to earn her own living to marrying one she did not love Avhile there Avas one living whom she did. And now it was fifteen years ago fifteen years. Then says I : "Jenny, dear, I love you better than ever, now I've found yon again. When you told my brother there was some one living you loved, did you mean me?" "Yes, Jack," said she. Says I ; "Now you've seen mo a Aveather-beaten, scarif-d old sailor do you think the samer"' Said 6hc : "I always shall, Jack." "Come on, then," says I.. And not another Avord until we come to 'Hew Ebcn Tucker's. Then 1 rang the bell. Says she : "Why havo you me here. Jack?" brought Says I : "To make the marry us, my Ioa'c." chaplain Savs 6he : "It's too sudden. I can't. What Avould people says?" "No matter for the people," says I. And in Ave Avalkcd. And for all she told me that no Avoman Avas ever mar ried before in a delaine dress and straw bonnet, the chaplain didn't find it any obstacle, but spliced us. And so, alter fifteen years, 1 got my Jenny lor my own. I don't think she is sorry for I knoAV I ain't, and as for poor it, and Tom's children, she s a mother to cm, Avhelher there's anv romance , And in my story or not, it's a hippy one for me in the ending, as sure as Jack Ballast. mv namo is ANDEIiSON VILLE. "A Story of Southern Military Prisons." Tlie Most Successful J.ook a i we "Undo Tom's Cabin"' Tisvnty Thousand Copies Sold lieore One Was I'rint.dA A Uraphic Story of a Vricute Sol Uier's Experience iu Richmond, An dersonville, Satunnih, Millen,Iilack sliear, Charleston and Florence. No book since '-Uiu le Tom's Cabin" has had the unpaialelied success that has attended the publication in the forai of a copiously illustrated volume of a scries of articles that ran through the Toledo Blade last year under the title "Andersonville ; a story of South ern Military Prisons." Such was the interest aroused by the subject, and the fascinating manner in which it was treated that the mere announce ment that the sketches were to be re produced in book form-- was suflicient to bring in orders for more than 20,000 copies befor one was printed, and though the volume has been upon the market now less than four months, the sales have nearly reached 40,000, with every prospect that that figure will be doubled or trebled before the year is out. Cortainly no book ever sold it self to the extent that this one has, because tht efforts to introduce itany whero have been of the lighte3t, and in much the greater part of the coun try noue whatever havo been made. There is a deep fascination in the subject of Andeiaonvillw, for thatGol gotha,iu which lie the whitening boin-8 of 13,000 gallant young men, represents to them very much of the dearest and costliest sacrifice of the war for the preservation of our national unity. It u a type, too, of its class. Its more than hundred hecatombs of dead re present several times that number ol their brethren, for whom the prison gates of Belle Isle, I)anville,Sa!isbury, Florence, Columbia and Cahawba ali ened only in eternity. There are few families in the North who havo not at least one dear rotative or friend among these 60,000 whose sad fortune it was to end their service for the Union by lying down and dying for it ia a South ern prison pen. Hidden from the view of their friends in the North by the impene trable vail which the military opera tions of the Rebels drew around the so-called Confederacy, the people knew next to nothing of their career or their sufferings. Thousand. died there less heeded even than the hundreds who perished on the battle lieM. Grant did not lose as many men, killed outright in the terrible campaign from the Wil derness to the James River 43 davs of desperate fighting a3 died in July and August at Andwrsonvnle. Nearly twice an naanv died m that prison as fell from the day that Grant crossed the Rapidau, till he settled down into the trenches before I'etorsburg. More than four times as many Union dead lie under the solemn, soughing pines about that forlorn little village in Southern Georgia than mark the course of Sherman from Chattanooga to At lanta. the 2s at inn fctands aghast at the expenditure of life which attend ed the two bloody campaigns of 1801 which virtually crushed tho Confeder acy, but no one remembers that more Union soldiers died in the rear of the Rebel lints that: were killed iu front of them. The great military event3 that stamped out ths llebellion drew attention away from tho sad drama which Starvation atu-i Disease played in the gloomy pens in the far recesses of somber Southern forests. The author begins with an account f the raid marie into the enemy's coun try by the cavalry command in which he was serving as an enlisted man. They meet the HeUl cavalry, and aft er a sharp fight, worsted il badly, send uig it nving tnmi ihe held, lor a while the Union cavalry live off. the fatness of the land, but at length they are trapped iu a narrow vu'.Sev, and after adesperate, resistance, are all cap tured, and sent to Bichmond. Two months of hardship and exposure on Bell Isle, and in the tobacco factories end by their being sent to Anderson ville the author aniviwe in the first squad that enters the pen. Then en sues six months of terrible suffering, in which four out of five of those around him die. This is ended by the fall at Atlanta, immediately upon which the Rebels, fearful of the safe ty of so great a ma.ss of prisoners in such proximity to the National lines as the fall of that stronghold has brought aboi't, hurry tlie bulk of them off to other and more remote places of confinement. The author is first taken to SAvan nah; after ashott stay tbere.to Millen; thence to Savannah again; thence t Blackshear, where he is paroled and sent back to Savannah again, ostensib ly to be exchanged, but really to get him and his companions safely past Sherman's advancing lines and tak'e them to Florence, S. C, where they are kept until the Confederacy began goiaz to pieces in March. 18G4. Into this warp and woof of daily history are woven numberless bits of fascinating description of thrilling in cidents, and even laughable episodes for there was fun, even in that dreary experience. Among the most thrilling recitals to be found any where is that of the story of the lights with and the capture abd execution of the Raiders" a band of murderous dsperades who infested the prison, and six ot whom were hanged in terrorem, and as a pu nishment for their multifarious of fenses. This is the only full nail ac curate account of LL is noted episode tht has ever been written. Many versions have been given of this, but they have all been written by men who were misinformed as to the real facts in the case. Tho author, being one of the A'ery few of those now living who Avere actiyely identified with tho affair from first to last, has exceptional knowledge of that of which ho spraks. Letters from more than 3,(;('0 sur viving ptisoners testify in ttioti't-t terms to tho wonderful accuracy of the book. Such a testimonial unlleckt by t single dissent fiom any living prisoner is one of the marvels of cur rent literature. The press has been no less kind lo tho booic than the general public, aud it lias received tho highest eulogiums from political, lelijous and literary papers, which unite in saying that for vividness of description, realism cf de tail, and fascination of fdyle it has no equal in the literature of the war. The book contains G5ft large, hand somely printed pages, illustrated with 1j4 pictures drawn under the author s supervision, l'ublislied at loledo, o.. by u. R. Locke, and sold by subscrip tion at $3.00 per copv; tlie best eelling book for agents in the market. Ag-ititi wanti'd for every Township in the Unit ed Stales. The domestic Monthly for April.

MHM CtaTBTJMtJJJJJaHWMMMaHtaTtBBaWS Brokeu-Hcavted Horses. Kurcka (Ncv.) Leader. Noticing an old-litnc Jehu critically examining one- of the lead horses in the Plothe stago recently, the reporter slid up alongside in time to bear him remark, sot to A'oice : "There's Dick going to tlie devil just like all the rest, and lie hain't been on the road six months." An inquiry as to the cause of Dick's a horse evil destination, led to the development of some facts iu regard to stage stock that may bo interesting to our readers. "You see that bay leader," he said, "that animal Avas put on the route six months ago, and he was a good one, full of life anil ntrsLition, and when he first Avent into harness it took two good men to hold him down before the start and a smart driver to hold him afterward. Now he's as boggy as a dray-horse, and hasn't got spirit enough to hold hi3 head up. They most all go that way. Horses arc curious beasts. You can drive 'em twenty miles a day on all sorts of roads and they will keep fat and die of old age; but put 'em on a fifteen-mile run, Avhcre they've got to travel the same routo every day, and they Av ill break their hearts ana die in loss than tAvo years. It works like a tread-mill on a man. They can't stand the monotony." A Queer House. An eccentric Englishman Las recent ly built a house in the Quarter Tivoli for the residence of himself, his Avil'e and eight children, Avhich is the talk of Paris. It is circular, and has neith er door nor window externally. The approach to it is from the ground floor on to the roof by means ot a lad der, which is moved up aud down by machincrv- similar to that of a draw bridge. There is only ono lloor, and that "cuu tains eight apartments, more or less Miiall in dimensions, looking into the center, which is lighted from above by a glazed cupola. One stove for till t hese rooms is in the middle, and in summer its place is to bo occu pied by n exquisite parterre of flow ers. A circular balcony, open to all the apartments, surrounds this space. The motive of this oddity is, of course, only known to the author of it, but every body can sco that two points are gained by it immunity from the tax es on doors and windows, and a per fect preventative of any attempt at burglarv. During a school inspection at a town in Stitil'ordshirc where soni; Mormons had btcn lecturing, the In-pcctor asked the boys why a man should have onlv one Avife. "Because no man can servo two prompt reply. masters," was the Palatable Medioi:?e3.
