A GI13.L MIDSHIPMAN.
"Tlie Lady Midshipman" is the
title of an oo;:an romance in the files
of the last foreign mail. Fourteen
months ago a good looking Irit'h girl
17 year old took it into her head to
go to Now South Wales or Australia.
She accordingly went out as au emi-
grant to Queensland, whore she obtain-
ed a 'situation as bar -maid. While
there she reoeivod a letter from her
mother begging her to return home,
and inclosiog In luey to pay her pas-
sage. With this she bought men's
clothes and obtaiued a situation as
second stoNara ou hoard a steamer
snaking short trips between Newcastle
and Sydney. She remained on this
vessel two or threo mouths, and then
she thought she would like to go to
Englund, and that she might as well
work her passage over as pay for it.
She sought and obtained a situation
on board the Strathdon, a clipper ship
plying between Sydney and Loudon.
The new hand did duty es well as
could be desired and became a favorite
with the ship's vernally. 'When the
vessel had been out Torty days, a cum-
munioation was made to the captain
which araueed his suspicions, and he
aooarlingly taxed the suppcsed appren-
tice with being a woman. She admit-
ted the soft impeachment, abandoned
the forecastle, changed her uniform
and returned to Ireland like a laadv.
HOW HE WON HIS SHOULDER
• SMAPS.
It was during the siege of Wagner,
and the union parallels were but a fe w
hundred away ftom the line of grim
Mask tubes that ever and aeon "ern-
bawelled with outrageous noise the
i ir----.disgorgiug foul their devilish glut
of iron globes." A line of abaltis was
to be built aoroas a clear space in point
hlank of the rebel ;gunners and sharp-
shooters. "Sergeant, says the officer
in charge, "go and pace that opening
Iva give me the distance as Lieut as.
ipossible." Says the Sergeant (for we
will let hint tell the story) c --"I start-
ed right off, When 1'0 to the open•
iog I put er like the devil in a gale of
wind. What withgrape, canister,
round shot, 'Moll, and a regular bees'
nest of rifle balls,, I just think there
must have been a fearful drain of ant
-
munition on the 'Confederate Govern
-
meta about that time. I don't know
how it wa3 bat I didn't got so much as
a scratch, but 1 did get powerful sear-

eaptel , "\'troll, sergeant, what do you
matte it?' Sumi's as 1 Could get any
wind says I, ' "Give a guess captain."
Ho looked a'aross the opening a second
or twa, and then says "A hundred and
seventy five paces say." "Thunder,
oaptaiu," says I, "you've made a pretty
close guses, It'sjtatti a hundred and

gent, after the. laugh had subsided,
"that's how I .tot my shoulder -straps."
