The following was told as an actual fact by 4 sailor who solemnly affirmed he knew it to be so; whatever else he was, he certainly must have been a sailor of genius : We are on board a slave ship bound to the coast of Africa. I had my misgivings about the business, and I believe others had them, too. We had passed the Straits of Gibralter, and were lying off Barbary, one clear, bright evening, when it came my turn to take the helm. The ship was becalmed, and every- thiog around was as silent asthe day after the deluge. The wide monotony of water varied only by the glancings of the moon on the crest of the waves, made me think the old fables of Neptune were true ; and that Amphitrite and her Faiada were sporting on the surface of the ocean, with diamonds in their hair. These fancies were followed My the thonght of my wife, my children, and my home; and ail were wildly enough jumbied together in a do- licious state cf approaching slumber. Sud- denly [ heard above my head a loud, deep, terrible voico call out ‘* Stand from Under!” I started to my feet—it was a customary sig- nal when anything was to be thrown from the shrouds, and mechanically I sung ont the usual answer, ‘ Let go!’’ “But nothing came. I looked up in the shrouds—there was nothing there Isearched the deck, and found that Iwas alone! I tried to think it was a dream ; but that sound, so deep, so stern, so dread- ful, rung in my ears like the bursting of a cannon In the morning, I told the crew what I had heard They laughed at me; and were all dey long full of their jokes about ‘ Dreaming Tom.” One fellow among them was most un- merciful in his raillery He was a ewarthy, malignant looking Spaniard, who carried mur- der in his eyoand cures on his tongue; a daring und lordly man who boasted of crimo as if it gave him pre-eminence among his fellows He laughed longest and loudest at my story. ‘“‘A most uncivil ghost, Tom,’’ said he; “when such chaps come to see me, I'll make 'em show themselves; I'll not be satisfied without seeing and feeling as well as hearing.’’ The sailors all joined with him; and I, ashamed of my alarm, was glad to be silent. The next night, Dick Burton took the helm. Dick had nerves like an ox, and sinews like a whale; it was little he feared on earth or be- neath it. The clock struck one. Dick was leaning his head on the helm, as he said, thinking nothing of me or my story, when that ewful voice again called out from the shrouds, ‘‘ Stand from under ’’ Dick darted forward like an Indian arrow, which they say goes through and through a buffalo, and wings on its way as if it had not left death in the rear. It was an instant or more before he found presence of mind to call out “ Let go !”” Again nothing was seen—nothingheard Ten nights in succession, at one o'clock, the same unearthly sound rung through the air, making our stoutest sailors quail as if a bullet-shot had gone through their brains At last we grew pale when it was spoker of; and the worst of us never went to _ with- out saying our prayers. For myself, I would have been chained to the oar all wy life, to have got outof that vessel. But there we were in the vast solitude of the ocean; and this invisible being was with us. Noone put a bold face on the matter, but Antonio the Span- iard. He laughed at our fears, and defied Satan himself to terrify him. However, when it came his turn at the helm, he refused to go, several times under the pretense of illness he was excused from a duty, which all on board dreaded But at last the captain or- dered Antonio to receive a round dozen of lashes every night, untii he should consent to erform his share of the unwelcome office Por awhile this was borne patiently ; but at length he called out, ‘‘ I may as well one way ag another. Give me over to the ghost!’’ That night Antonio kept watch on the deck Fow of the crew slept; for expectation and alarm had stretched our nerves uponthe rack Atl o’clock the voice called, ‘*Stand from under !’’ ‘let go,’’ screamed the Spaniard.— This was answered by a shriek of laughter, and such laughter, it seemed as if the fiends ans- wered each other from pole to pole, and the bass was howled in hell. Thencamea sud den crash upon the deck, as if our masts and spars had fallen We all rushed to the spot, and there was a cold, stiff, gigantic corpse The Spaniard said it was thrown from the shrouds; and when he looked on it he ground his teeth like a madman. ‘I know him,” exclaimed he, “I stabbed him within an hour’s eail ot Cuba, and drank his b!ood for breakfast.”’ We all stood aghast at the monster. In fear- ful whispere we asked what should he done with the body. Finally we agreed that the terrible sight must be removed from us, and hidden in the depths of the sea Four of us attempted to raise it; but human strength was of no avail—we might as well have tugged at Atles. There it lay, stiff. rigid. heavy. and as immovable as if it had formed part of the vessel. Tho panient was furiou-; ‘‘let me lift him,’’ said he ‘I lifted him once ard can doit again I’!1 teach him what it is to come and trouble me.”’ He took the body round the waist and attempted to raise it Slowly and heavily the corpse raised it itself up; its ray- less eyes opened ; its rigid arm stretched out and chaspod it evictim ina close death grapple and rolling over the sides of the ship, the: tottered an instant over the waters—then wit! a plunge they sank together. Again thet laugh—that wild, shricking laugh—was heard onthe winds The sailors bowed their heads and put up their hands to shut out the appall- ing sound. took the helin moro than once after; bui we never again heard in the shroud that thun- dering sound, ‘‘ Stand from Under.” “BSymmes’ Hole” —Its Origia. Most of our readers have doubtless seen al- lusions to the theory of Captain Symmes, who maintained that the world is hollow, with an opening at the poles. It created quite as much excitement at the time as Phillips’ Fire Annihilator, or Ericsson’s Air Propeller, pro- duced among the “‘ moderns ”’ Tho following copy of ono of his ciroulars will explain his theory : . : CincuLar.—Light gives light, to light dis- cover—ad infinitum Sr. Lovis, Mo.

Mr. Villiers has scarcely energy enough to pat on his clothes, apparently not totake them off sgain; and itis warvelous how even a family government can trust this younger brother fn the complications of Yankee politios. which apy dey may produce a new difficulty. He is a very clever man, one singularly free from the airs and cants of his class, and that he deserves well of his country noone who re- members bis free-trade career will dispute. Why ho has chosen, ao long, to be content with the Judgo Advocateship, it is impossible to tell, excopt by reference to his known in- dolence “We shoald all be glad to eee him in high and eminent place, his ambition and his pa- triotism amply gratified But Wash! ie scarcely the place for a statesman who 2 as @ man about town, took the usual interme- diate course of philosophy, and has some time sottled dowa a8 a cynic, careless as to cravats and hair brushes, and appearance of all sorts —public appearances inclusive.

He would say vn the Central American question—“But my dear Mr Marcy, what the deuce doce Ruatan matter to anybody ?”’ ‘Poor Mr Crampton got into a scrape by reading a despatch six weeks after be bad re- ceived it.

He would merel: observe, ‘ Only take care that you don’t epoil the tobacco in marching, for Clarendon dors like a good cigar ; and the only clear instrue- tion I have got is on thet point” Perhaps the let-alone policy might do very well in di- plomacy. There wasa Villiers who won thir- teen pitched battles, and himself never drew a sword or fired a musket in any one of them. in the same way Lord Derby, when Minister, would hi Tuined the country, only fer his affecting indolence. Nextto the advant of having no Minister at Washington might it, on that principle, bedesirable to have Vil- liers, who, though there, will do nothing.’ A CHIEL'S 4MoNG US takin’ Norms—Faira AND BE HAS PRINTED 'em.—The special cor- respondent of the London Times was at Wash- ington at the adjournment of the regular sss- sion of Congress, and he gives the following picture as the scene then presented. Its in- terest to us is in seeing ourselves as others see us: “There would have been less hurry and cespatch of business in the night sitting that virtually ended the session jast expired had it been foreseen that the indefinite term of another was so near And that would have been almost a pity, for there was a good deal of scenic interest in it. The race of legisla- tion, accelerated for some time past, became a perfect rush, and the work of weeks was disposed of in minutes; all the powers were higbly condensed and in rapid action. it law were administered with a fiftieth of the speed with which it can be made, a Chancery suit that lasted a week would be thought slow I hope no mistakes happened; but should it be discovered that some bills were twice over to balance others not passed at all, few of the spectators would be surprised. To the oulsiders it looked very like confusion ; but perhaps it was more in appearance than in reality. The committees and leaders have the threads in hand, and the Speaker, Mr Banks, was cool, watchful, and get tert the model of a presiding officer @ public galleries were filled to suffocation, though no party or ‘‘ campaign’’ speeches were expected —the time for oratory had passed; it was all clear and quick voting Above all, the ladies had gathered in immense force, and their gal lery was one vast flutter of fans. Consider ing the sta'» of the thermometer and the working de> parterre of gentlemon they locked dow~ on, their presence in such nam bers was something of a mddle. The rotunda which divides the - House ’ from the Senate was the grand promenade of the night, and would have been almost gay but for the se- rious, business-like look of the men—the ex pressions seen on ‘Change when the funds are capricious and quotations oe Many ight, ar- eager faces flitted about in the gas i by nothing of art or nature areund them; others t matters more coolly, amok- ing the time away, having a private ander tanding with deatiny that made them safe. Oatsile, the rays of a bright southern moon fell on the white marble pertico and terrace, a welcome retreat from the oven-like atmoc phere within, whenee you looked far through the cummer night, over the mingling foliage and roofs of the well-wooded city, to the broad belt of river beyond it; below, carriages dashed up and departed, with a louder rattle than at noon ; while in the foreground gleamed the statue of Washington, directly facing the windows of the Capitel, blazing with at those unusua! hours He holds his right hand aloft, in admonition—perhape to economy, for the members have just voted themeelver an increase of pay, and the “ appropriations” of this session amounts to some $70,000,000 This is in hard money; but if the value of the lands granted to railway companies is in cluded, that sum, it is asserted, might be nearly doubled. A Kiss ror a Biow —A visitor went into a school in Boston, where saw a boy and a girl On one seat who were sister and brother In & moment of thoughtless passion tke little bo: struck his sister. The little girl was provoked, and raised her hand to return the blow Her faco showed that rage was working within, and her clenced fist raised at her brother, when her teacher caught her eye. ‘Stop, my dear,” said he, “you had better kiss your brother than strike hij The look and word reached her hi Her hand dropped. She threw her arm around his neck and kissed him. The boy was moved. Ho could have stood against the blow, but he could not withstand a sister's kiss.
