"Here's something I've brought, I says, taking it out of my jacket pocket. 'O, Jake, is th's cheese? Where did you get cheese from? And bread and butter, and plum puddenl My wig. but we'll have a feast to-night." And he danced on bis bare feet, catohing Eagle Eye by the fore paws, and swinging the astonished beast about while I stood laughing fit to cry. We ate, and ate, and ate all three of us when we did sit down, for I was tolerably peckish; and as for the two others, it wae clear that their small game didn't particularly agree with tnem. Alter i d done, and lit my pipe, i told now I d got work, and we'd a good long talk, and then I went away, promisicg to con day. It went on so for about a month. I helninz them at times with a bit of baccy, and so on. when one night, just as I'd got into bed, I heard something at mv window, which is near tne ground, and easy to get at. "Who's there?" I called. "Me," says Bob's voioe. And sure enough, when I'd lighted my candle, there was Bob himself in his shirt and breeches, holding Eagle Eye all bloody in his arms. "Castle's stormed !" ho 6aya. "Stormed I How do you mean?" " "Oh, five or six great louts from the town got wind that I was there, I suppose, and come round stoning throngh the holes, and climbed up and grinned through, and then burst open the door. I'd have shot 'em, I would, only the powder was wet, and only flashed. And when Ea&lc Eve ran at 'em, they hit him that hard" 1 saw that be was trying to keep in a cry, but be couldn t no loneer. "They've took everything." he sob bed "my pistol, and two dozen roach I'd got salted down, and a life of Dicky Turpin, and all; and, O Jake, I believe they ve killed the poor doggee, I believe they have. it wasn t so bad as that, though his shoulder was laid open, and Bob him self with a bump on his temple as big as a walnut; but we soon set it pretty right, and then Bob crept into bed, still cuddling the dog, and we all slept sound enough till the bell woke me up to work. After that, Bob shared my room. He'd not got any money; but it happened luckily they just wanted a boy to tend the engines in my shop, bo he was taken on, with fair wages, which were soon increased, for he was quick. and plucky enough to do things the other boya daren't. We got on joily. we two. The first thing Bob did, when begot his week's pay, was to buy a pair or rabbits, buck and doe, and we spent Saturday afternoon knocking up a hutch. Then we got ty aegrecs guinea pigs, ana a male ferret, and a lot of young starlings, bo that the missis raised our rent sixpence, she said we were bo messy. On Sunday mornings, when we could lie in bed, it was nice to hear them scratching and chirping, or getting up little fights with each other, till a big old crow in a wicker-basket by the window would get so noisy, we were bound to get up and feed him. Then some of the other fellows would mostly drop in, till we'd have perhaps as many as six before we'd done breakfast. And then we'd all start off across the fields, or, if it was summer, down to the river to bathe; and Eaglo Eye would go barking and smelling about, chasing every beast be could meet less than himself, and we foJlowiog, with the ferret in a bag, ready to loose on whatever turned up. After dinner, if it wasn't wet, we always went out of doors to smoke not pipes (we kept those for week days), but cigars. I remember having quite a disputo ooae with Bob about these same cigars. He said penny ones were quite good enough. Now, I don't think so. I've smoked all sorts of penny ones Pickwicks, Veveyp, ana Partagos do los something or other, which sell three for twopence halfpenny. But they aint good, and I, for one, would a deal sooner have a pipe, only that a cigar looks more the thing with one's Sunday clothes. concluded to-morrow. XjA'W CARDS. I.

Business on the levee yesterday was fairly active with a meager port list. The Mallie Ragon arrived with 154 hhds tobacco and a large amount of miscellaneous freight, and a number of passengers The Fayette had some 50 hhds tobacco, considerable miscellaneous freight and a crowd of passengers The Idlewild went up to Newburgyesterday morning and re turned at noon after taking consider able freight at that place.

He is also first and second clerk, and will see that basinets will be attended to The Tobe Ilurt will leave on Saturday at 4 o'clock, in the evening, for Mt. Carmel and all way points The tow boats Ilercules, and Jim Watson passed down yester day morning, the former with a tow of coal and the latter with two barges loaaea wun Duuaing stone ana a barge of coal -We were in error, in stating in yesterday's Journal, that the J. M. White's time to Cairo was 3 days and 23 hours and that the Natchez had sst her stakes some 13 hours ahead. The White's time to Cairo, was 3 days, 9 hours and 40 minutes, and her time from New Or leans to St. Louis, was 3 days, 23 hours and 9 minutes. We find one authority which gives the time of the Eclipse to Cairo as 3 days, 4 hours and 4 minutes, and the Shotwell's time as 3 days, 3 hours and 40 minutes, which not only beats the J. M. White s time, but also that of tho Natchez on the present trip. Another authority equally as reliable, gives tbe Eclipse's time to Cairo, as 3 days, 8 hours and 20 minutes, and the Shotwell's time as 3 days and 8 hours tho first ar hoar and twenty minutes,
