'';':'"" '" " ': """ c '' ' " ' r TAVERN-KEEPER CIRCUA1 VENTED. 3 A short time since the door of a country inn was darkened by a well-dressed man of mod est and unassuming mein, who requested food; for his horse, and the extra services of the hostler; inasmuch as his bea5t had been hardly driven The stranger had much the appear ance of an intelligent farmer of moderate means, and who, jthough liberal, perhaps, was never profuse. After attending to the welfare of his horse he entered the bar-room. " u You may give me,' said he to the landlord, something to eat, but merely a cold bite. My business is very urgent, , therefore- any thing will answer my turn for the present. . -. Scarcely a moment had elapsed after hi or der was issued,ere the jingling of a small bell summoned him to the dining-room,' which m ordinarv places would have been termed -no1 thin more than. a 'bed room.- The fare pla ced before him; although a cold bite as order ed, in the strictest sense of the term, was yet beagre in the extreme. The- remains - of t a dish of boiled pork and potatoes, and a glass : of water, vere all that had been appropriated to his use. . - - - 1 Swallowing a few hasty morsels, he again presented himself at the bar and demanded his bill. H Halfa dollar Tor your dinner said Boni- . 'face. :- t ' Half a dollar! I seldom dispute a tavern bill, sir, but for such a one as I have had, the charge is an imposition. . ' .!". A meal is.a meal;' answered the landlord, 'and that is our regular price. : i 1 It is a small sum to quarrel about obser , ved the traveller, biii I prefer to fie pilfered in a manly manner.' ; f r V "I ' 4 " . i?i " ! 'A meal ts. a mff?, sir, again returned the ihe landlord in; n JtUily manner, we always charge that, whether a man eat more or less; good or bad." . r r Perceiving altercation to be useless, the stranger paid the bill, called for his horse and rode away, with the muttered exclamation that he would' sometime have an adequate ie - vengc, 7 , ' 7 i : , : ";: f His destination was about fifteen miles dis tant. After transacting his business be was about starting the following day, upon his rp tum. He had mentioned to a friend the cir cumstance we have recorded and that person answered ! ti-u?vk9 nuionworiorms extravaganT charges but thai he could find him a" man who would put the landlord's 'maxim, "a meal is a meal," to a thorough test. Ac cordingly before setting out, our traveller was introduced to his companion, who had abstain ed from eating in order to do justice to the en tertainment of his employer. He was to be paid the expenses of his dinner and journey. The new adventurer was a very good humor ed fellow, something of a wag and extremely shrewd: Helwas withal, a most incorrigible glutton. Ealing and telling large stories were his ch!ief enjoyments. He was fortuuately an entire stranger to the inn-keeper. " : r I I Landlord,' said the traveller, I owe this man, Mr. Jones, a dinner which lost by a very foolish bet. ; Furnish him one and I ; will . pav for it.' ) .x''-''- What'il Vou have V. asked the landlord of Jones." ' ; ; " Vjb- , '. A roast turkey, sir.' - - The landlord stared but soon issued his or ders to the occupants of the kitchen. : They required some little time to comply with the orders. The landlord and Jones soon made hemselves 'old acquaintances. ; i t "Rather a red face that of yours, landlord' said Jones, i I haven't seen any thing that looked fike spring before ; fine blossoms, . sir.'

It was the tallest butter nut I ever saw. Standing close to it one day in a thunder storm, I saw a squirrel on one of the " -topmost branches. .The lightning struck the 'came branch, about three. feet above him, the 6quirrel started. The lightning had to follow j the grain, of course, and the squirrel, went t straight down. '": So confoanded crooked v was i t-.- the squirrel, by my watch ; that Tree nr,.

'I will thank vou, Miss, said Jones to the damsel in waiting, 'to cook me a lew slices .,ef beef, I am afraid I shall not make out a dinner on this.: 'The girl withdrew in amazement, while; Jones made a vigorous assault upon the . fowl, which rapidly vanished before his advances.

He mana ged, however, to devour the beef just as the girl came in with the pork, the pickles having in the meantime,-been eaten. : i. r . .. Now Miss, 111 trouble vou for some fresh fish. Have you got &nv ?' While the girl had gone to inquire for this, the landlord, who had been apprized of the sad havoc which had been made among his viands entered the room. ? At this iuncture of of af fairs, the girl cant e back' with the intelligence that they had nothing but pickled salmon. ; ; , 'Give me half a dozen pounds of that then.'. . ; ; ... - ' ; ': "i Jones had already stuffed himself to rrple tion, and to have saved his life, could scarcely swallowed another morsel.;.

It is almost needless to add, that the land lord soon -came to a knowledge 01 all the cir cumstances connected with the case, and that ever afterwards he was particularly careful in selecting objects upon whom . to exercise his shaving propensities. DESCRIPTION, BY MISS MARTINEAU. The last of the Kanawha river, as we bade adieu to it on the 28th of June, was smooth and sweet, with its islets of rocks, and the pretty bridge Jfcy which we crossed the Gauley,' and entered upon the ascent above New river. The Gauley and the New nvtr join to make the Kanawha. The ascent of the mountains above'New river is' trying to weak nerves. The horses have to stop, here and there, to rest; and it appears thaifhey were to back three stepsi it would be deatShe road, how ever, is really broad, though it appears a mere Jedge when the eye catches the depth below, where the brown river is rushing and brawl ing in its rocky bed; s A passenger dropped his cap in the steepest part, and the driver made no difficulty about stopping to let him re cover it. What a depth it was ! like the drea my visions ofone' childhood of what winged passengers may first learn of nians dwelling place,, when they light oni.a Jpounlaip top? iWpaura s gunipsertrom the TSlount of &oh loquy, like any unsual or forbidden peep frorf above into the retirements of Nature, or the arrangements of man. On our -left rose the blasted rocks which had been ' compelled to yield us a passage; but their aspect was alrea dy softened by the trails of crimson and green creepers wnicn were spreauing over - tneir front. The unmeasured pent-house of wild vine was still below us on the right, with rich rho dodendron blossoms bursting ihrough, and rock-plants shooting up from every ledge and crevice ai tne qge oi tne precipice. Alter a long while, (I have nothing to say of time or distance, fori thought of neither,) a turn in the road 6hut out' the whole from our sight. leaned out of the stage further and further, to eaten, as 1 supposed, a last glimpse of the tre mendous valley; and when I drew in again, it was with a feeling of deep grief that such a scene was to be beheld by me no more. . I saw a house, a' comfortable homestead, in this wilu place, with its pasture and cornfields about it; and I longed to get out, and ask the people to let me live with them ; a V tr v ; In a few minutes Uie stage shopped. "If any o f the parsengers wish to go the Hawk's Nest" J-shduted- the driver. He i gave us tenmin- utes, and pointed; with his; whip to a- beaten nath in the wood to the right, it seems to me now that I was unaccountably cool and care less about it.' I was absorbed by what I had seen, or I might have known, from the direc lion we were taking, that we were coming out above the river again.. We had v.not. many vards to eo. . We issued suddenly from the co vert of the wood; upon a small platform of rock a Devil's Pulpit, it -would be called,' if its Present name were not. so much better a platform of rock, springing from the mountain side, without any -visible support, and sheer dawn upon an j angle of the roaring river be tween eleven arid twelve hundred-feet below; Nothing whatever intervenes. Spread out be neath, shooting up around, are blue mountain neaks, extending in boundless expanse.; No ' V 1eVCi Could look down over the edge one, I Deu. . 1 f .1 Rtnnted nines of this airy s&en, ' "f Wl.h ptir m which are fast rooted in v clasping apine 5tem. 1 1 ooKea TO more, 1 cannot dux turn, v in reserve to show me. . :" , v It is said that this place was - discovered oy Chief Justice Marshall, when, as a young man, he was surveying among Ihe moun tains.,? no, how manv Indians knew it before T How did it! strike the mysterious race who igave place td the Indians? .

"1 have often asked myself, after a delibe rate survey of bfty English travellers, of either sex assembled round the tabled' hotes of Switzerland, what could be the motive of their long, tedious, difficult, dangerous pilgrimage; and ended by making up my mind that one of the main objectsof an English woman's travels is to traverse the most derated and stormv regions, without having a hair of her head discomposed; and of an Englishman ' to make the tour; of the, world, (without dirtying bis gloves, or wearing out Ins boots. Meet them of an evening in their inn, after a day of ihe most laugumgxeruons, anu, men or women, they are already armed cap-a-pie for conquest, exhibiting with maiestic maernanimitv the impermeability of their travelling costume.

A southern paper, the Norfolk Beacon, con tends that the climate of Virginia is as well fitted to inourish robust and healthy frames as any in the world, under the necessary condi tion of regular habits and exercise. It as cribes the delicate health so frequently com plained of, to indolence and a dislike to vi gorous physical ? exertion. Our western hun ters are an example of the degree of strength, health, and capacity of endurance, acquired from their active Jife, Their powerful frames and iron r constitutions Tare proverbial ; the world scarcely produces the like. They may not - be es plump and ruddy ;as Englishmen ; but plumpness and rdddiness prove nothing. The Norfolk' print advises the young men to make pedestrian excursions to the moun tains of Virginia, visiting in their way Monti- cello, the Natural Bridge, Weyer's Cave,' arid passing beyond the White Sulphur Springs, to look down from the Hawk's Ncsi, or Cliff 'of New river, on the woody abyss . which lies beneath; The interior of Virginia embosoms, it is true, moat gloious scenery, as we can ourselves testify ; majestic Tanges of moun tains, ; pfecipfces of prodigious height and noble rivers rolling through vallies of sur passing: beauty. But we also have, close'at our doors a picturesque region, which is scarcely .ever observed except at a distance, from the decks of our steamboats. The west ern shore of the Hudson, from the Palisadoes upwards, is as worthy of a pilgrimage across the Atlantic as the Alps themselves You are kept in , perrelual surprise by the wild beauty of the sylvan paths along the breast of ihe 22nntains, and the perpetually changing rnmWnfttkns Of wood; water, rock and moun tain, while, from lime to time, an interest of another kind is awakened by the numerous remains of the old fortifications which, in the time of the revolutionary war, crown all the considerable Doinls of the shore. Some eight or ten miles above Fort Lee, vou come upon a prospect of extraordinary ovint v -nfi iip.ntY. The guide . books set fifteen, iip hiffhest nart of the Palisadoes as hpfiiff five hundred feet above the level of the water, and the part of which we are speaking, is probably not less.

You can never approach nearer to the destruction of credit than this; you can con trive no scheme half so effectual for the in jury ot credit as what is nick-named the credit system." ; Talk of the annihilation of credit iyoU might as well talk of the annihilation of hope and tear., is mere any politician cunning enough to contrive a scheme by which all likings and dislikings shall be abolished among men I Jan a law oe roaae wnipn snau stop ginger from being ' hot fix the mouth, as poor Andrew Aguecheeck has it T V hen you find a party organized to do hese things, you may witn some snow oi prooaouiiy, iaia oi ine existence of a party the object of which is to prevent men from trusting each other.

"The destruction of credit has been the grand aim and end of the ' administration party." r Tite 'bank dmto,iimltxaflil ex ampl, bring the same charge against the anti monopolists. f It has been hinted us that there are some people credulous enough to believe this ac cusation, notwithstanding its absurdity. , V It is true, we have known a child to crv when its' elder brother threatened to burn the poker. We recollect the anecdote of a super annuated old gentleman, living in the country on the top of a hill, who was thrown in a parox ysm of alarm by a stout young fellow, armed with a pickaxe, who threatened to dig up the well before his door, and roll it down the hill, water and all. But that gro Wn persons, not under guardianship for idiocy, should believe that there really exist , in this country a party which has for its object to restrain human be ings from giving faith to each others engage ments, almost passes our capacity of belief. Those who are loudest in 'affecting an alarm at such a design; are men who will resort to any pretence for party purposes. The " cre dulous dupes who are taken in by them, if any such there are, must; belong to the same an cient class who believe the moon to be made of green cheese. -JV. Y Evening Post. STUPENDOUS FRAUD. Ve have the following facts from an un questionable source. , . 1 Within the, last week, a gentleman called at the Bank of the United States with upwards of $30,000 in notes and drafts of the old bank and branches, among which wereorily about 70 in, notes of the new bank. ' . . Upon adjusting various accounts, .there re mained a balance of over $20,000 doe to him in pay men ("tit which he was tendered notes of the old bank; lie declined receiving them, and demandecTnotes of the new bank: THEY WERE ' REFUSED. He finally adiusted his balance by transferring it to the credit of a N. York Bank. . ' While settling his account, he saw the offi cers of the bank paying out the notes of the old bank, at the counter. .. :It hence appears that the bank issues notes which it refuses to pay altogether. It refuses to pay them in specie. It.reiuses to pay them in its own notes. Mr.Biddlesbank has no more right to issue them, than any indi vidual into whose hands they might have been put for safe keeping. - It "is a flagrant viola tion of the old charter,5 which requires the affairs of the corporation it created, to be wound up in two years from the expiration of its term. An individual who should do it. would be liable to indictment and punishment for swindling. ' ' ! ... j ' . , " Is ? not every officer of the new binkiwho has an agency in their issue, ' liable to a like penalty? ."' .
