SEA CAPTAIN DESCRIBING A HUNT.
A sea captain just ashore was invited by' some gentlemen to go hunting. After the . sport was over he gave his friends this particular account of what pastime he had: •Our horses being completely rigged, we manned them, and the wind being S.W., twenty of ua being in company, 1 away we went over the Downs. In the time of half a watch we spied a hare under a full gale; we tacked, and stood after her, coming up close;. she tacked, and we tacked, upon which tack I had like to run aground, but getting close off I stood,after her again, but, as hick would have it just about to lay her aboard, bpariqg. too much wind, 1 and my horse overset, and came keel upwards.'

A BAD DREAM.
