Maffit, the pirate Captain.--The Boston Transcript says: When a boy at school, in Portsmouth, New-Hampshire, this bad specimen of humanity always fell below his class. One of his schoolfellows remembers these couplets, which a little urchin of twelve made about him on a certain exhibition day many years ago: And here's Johnny Maffit, as straight as a gun-- If you face him square up, he'll turn round and run! The first boy in school, sir, if thieving and lies, Instead of good scholarship, bore off the prize.
