It was daring: a Poic, some years since, . that a gentleman, whom we shall aow coll Mr. Thompson, was seated, with something fef melanchoi Jeok, is his dreary back tovalcbinf his clerks pacing away thBjas3LC pounds hourly. Thompson Vashaiecof excellent credit. There existed,' perhaps ia the city of London do safer concern I hap that of Messrs Thorn p sort 6c but at a moment such as I spealc of, no rational reflection was admit ted, no former .stability was looked to; a general disirust was felt, and every one rushed. lo his bunker's to withdraw bis board, fearful that the next instant would Le too late, forgetting entirely that this step was, of all otbersjlhe most like to insure the 'rum he sought to aoid. But to return. ;I.'l'Wealiby citizen aat gloomily, watching the outpouring of his gold, and with a grim smile listening to the. clamorous demands on his cashier; for although he felt perfectly easy and secure ns to the ultimate sirength of his resour ces yet he could not repress a feeling of bitterness as lie saw constituent after cons tituent rush in, and those whom he always fondly imagined to be his dearest friends, eagerly assisting in the run upon his strong box. Presently, the door was opened, ami a stranger was ushered in, who, after gazing for a moment at the bewildered banker, coolly drew chair, and abruptly address ed bhn -ii i r 1.: 1UU win jjniuuii iuc, an, iui uaivuig .father a strange question; but I am a plain nnn, and like to come straight to the point 'Well, sir? impatiently interrupted the other. -I hare heard that you have a run on your bank, sir.' 'Well?' 'Is it trucl 'Really, sir, I must decline replying to your very extraordinary query. If, how ' ever, you hare any money in the bank, you had better at once draw it out, and so sat isfy yourself; our cashier will instantly paj yon,'' and the banker rose, as a hint for the stranger to withdraw. 'Far from it, sir; I have not a sixpence in your hands.' 'Then may I ask you what is your busi ness here?' '1 wish to know if a small sum would aid you at this moment V Why do you ask that question ?' 'Because, if it would, i should gladly pay in a small deposit.' The money-dealer started. 'You seem surprised. You don't know my person or my motive. I'll at once ex plain. "Do you recollect, sbtrie twenty years ago, when you resided in Essex V Perfectly. 'Well, then, sir, perhaps yott have not forgotten the turnpike-gate through which you passed 'daily? My father kept that irate, and was very often honored with few minutes' chat with j'ou One Christmas morning, my father was sick, and I atten ded the toll-bar. On that day, you passed through, -and I opened the gate. Do you recollect it, sir V Not I, my friend.' 'No, sir; few such men remember their kind deeds, but those benefited by them seldom forget them. I am, perhaps, pro lix; listen, however, only a few moments, and I have done.' The banker, who began to feel interes Ted, at once assented. 'Well, sir, as I said before, 1 threw open the gate for vou, and, as I considered my self in duty bound, I wished you a happy Christmas. 'Thank you, my lad,' replied you, 'thank you, and the same to you; here is a trifle to make it so;' and you threw me j, seven shilling piece It was the nrst money I ever possessed, and nevei shall I forget my joy on receiving it, or your kind smile when bestowing it. I long treasur ed it, and, as L grew up, added a little to it. till I was able to rent a toil myself. You soon after left that part of the country, and 1 lost sight of you. Yearly, however, I have been gaining on. Your present brought good fortune with it. I am now comparatively rich, and to you I consider I owe all. So, this morning, hearing acci dentally that there was a run on your bank, I collected all my capital, and have brought it to lodge with 3'ou. in case it can be of any use; here it is, sir here it is;' and he handed a bundle of bank notes to the agi tated Thompson. 'In a few days. I'll call again and snatching up his hat, the stranger, throwing down his card, imme diately walked but of the room. Thompson opened the roll; it contained 30,000! The stern-hearted banker for all bankers must be stern burst into tears. The firm dkl not require this prop; but the " motive was so noble that even a millionaire sobbed be could not help it. The firm is a till one of the first in the citv of London. . The 30,000 of the turnpike-boy is now . grown into some 200,000. Fortune has well disposed of her gifts. Chars C I WILL BY AND BYE." Zounds ! sir, you may as well say that you will never do it I I'm out of all pa tience with these " by and bye folks." An hour of the present time is worth a week of the future. . Why, I know a bachelor, who is as well calculated for matrimonial felicity as every virtue. and every accomplishment can ren der him ; bat he has been putting off the happy time, from one year to another, al ways resolving that he would marry M by and bye till ths best ten years of his life are gone, and he is still resolving " and I fear " he will die thd samej, ' He that would gather the roses of mat rimony must wed in the May of life. II you wish only the withered leaves and the thorns, why,.poor Richard .says, put it off till September. Procrastination is the thief hi time." " I mads a'vtsit last winter to see my old friend, -Jeremiah Careless. - When he put ray horses into the stable,, he took me to his burn floor to sec some fine wheat he had just threshed. I observed tJ him that one of the boards of the barn was near falling-, and he had better nail it. " I will by and bye," said he. Things about the farm looked as though u by and bye " folks lived there. Next morning the boys came running in with sad news. An unruly bull had lorn off the board, and the cattle had supped and breakfasted on the white wheat, and old Brindle, the best cow in the drove, was foundered so that she died. Now, two nails, worth a penny, and five minutes of time, would have saved the life of old Brin dle and the while wheat into the bargain. Passing by my neighbor Nod well's, the other day, I saw that his wife had made a fine garden, and the early peas were shoot ing above the ground. u It looks well," said I, ' neighbor but there is a hole in the fence, which you had better mend, or the bogs will ruin your garden." " I will by and bye," said he. Happening to go by there a few days after, I was deafened with the cry of " Who-ce, who ee stu boy, stu-boy " a drove of hogs had come along, and while my neighbor was taking a nap, they had crawled through the broken fence and destroyed the labor of a week. "Nev er put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day" Poor Richard says. KAINTUCK AND THE FIDDLER. On board the steamer Indiana, in one of her trips down the Mississippi, were a large number of good-natured passengers. They were seeking to while awa hours, accor ding to their several notions of pleasure, and would have got 011 very well but for one annoyance. There happened to be on board, a Hoosier from the Wabash, who was going 'down to Orleans,' and he had provided himself with an old violin, fancy ing that he could fjddle as we'd as the best man, nivV pluntiag himself Wlere tie would attract notice, scraped away.' The fellow could'nt fiddle any more than a setting hen, and the hi rrible noise disturbed his fellow passengers excessively. A Frenchmen, of very delicate nerves,and a very fine musi cal ear, was especially annoyed. He fiut t -red, fidgetted and swore at the-.'sacre' fiddle. The passengers tried various ex pedients, to rid themselves of the Hoosier and his fiddle, it was no go 'he would music just as long as he'd d pleased.' At last, a big Krntuckian sprang from his seat saying, ;I reckon I'll fix him,' placed himself near the amateur fiddler, and com menced braying with all his might. The effect tf the move was beyond description 'Old Keutuk' brayed so loud that he drowned the screeching of the fiddle, and amid the shouts of the passengers, the dis comfited Hoosier retreated below, leaving the victory of the unequal contest with the Kentuckian and his siDgulartrwn?M im itation of Balaam's friend. The delight of the Frenchman knew no bounds : quiet was restored for the day. During the night the Kentuckian left the boat. The next morning, after breakfast, the passengers were startled by the discordant sound of their old tormentor ; Hoosier had discover ed that the coast was clear, and was bound to revenge himself on the passengers. Loud, and worse than ever screamed the fiddle. The Frenchman, just seated to read his paper, on the first sound, rose, look ed anxiously around, shrugged his shoul ders and then.shounted 'Vare is he ! vare is A7Q.ueeck queeck, 3ib Dieu, ! Vare is Monsiur Kentuck, de man vat play on de jackass.1 ANOTHER STREET PREACHING RIOT. New Yoyk, May 21 Another disgrace ful street preaching riot occurred here to day, in the Park. A man named Hawk ins was stabbed, and severely others injur ed. The street preacher disappeared when the riot pommenced. A man named Laughlinthe ringleader in the riot, was arrested, but several attempts were made at rescue, without success. There is great excitement, and several of the participants in the riot have been committed to the Tombs. Robbery srsmst the Mat of an - Americas Palp. In the. Thames Court at London on the 26tb ult, Mr. William Stanton, aged 28, chief mate of the American ship Coquim bo, surrendered, on recognisance, before Mr. Yardley to answer to a charge of stealing 142 bushels of wheat, part of the cargo of the vessel. He sold it to a miller at rather less than half price as "sweeping, which he V said belonged to him. The vessel had put into FayaTio distress, and a large part of .1- tha One consignee received 136 quarters out of 275, which were shipped. Samples of the wheat were produced in Courtit was - gnerauy una, ana tae consignee said it '' should hare been delivered to him.' CapL . Town of the Coquimbo testified that it was v customary: for.roatef jn America, to ,hare the sweepings in the hold, but to the qoes- ' tionwWould you hare allowed this to be ""old as sweeping tt:fcTaiurwered,;; No T. miJ'i - The. mate .was committed ' for trial, with liberty to pat is h THE 'ANGEL GABRIEL.' Imposed so greatly upon the people of Worccstor, Mass , on Thursday, as to per suade them into a riot. The City Guards were called out, the riot act read, and eve ry indication of a disturbance was presen ted, but it finally ended in a few arrests and the imprisonment, of the angel, who was subsequently discharged with a fine of $5 and costs. REMEDY FOR HOVEN. The Fredrick Examiner says that Mr. John P. Gallion, a dairy farmer of that neighborhood, believes himself to have dis covered an effectual remedy for hoven, or bloat in cattle, an affection very common, at this season of the year. His plan is to open t.be mouth of the animal and pull its tongue forward quickly three or four times to its furthest tension. This, he says, pro duces instantaneous relief. So simple a remedy is Veil worth attention.

"rt- ASvlce t Tfceatrteal Manager, SOowmftJ, atttf'OtheraW-?''" -r-'-fsrJt ; At the Marlborough street Police CoUt, London, on the 5th of May, Mr.-Dobie, solicitor to the Times newspaper, accom panied by Mr. W. F; Friend, proprietor, of the diorama of Canada and the United States, Regent street, entered the court, and, addressing Mr. Hard wick, the sitting magistrate, begged to place before him the following complaint : At the opening of Mr. Friend's exhibition, a person, who gave the name of Charles Butler, and gave as his address, No. 4$ Warwick street, Reg ent street," introduced himself as holding an important position on. the 'Stairs, and as being in a condition to give a favorable no tice of the diorama in the paper. Feeling much obliged, by this mark of attention. r. JPjaeodtecet ved 4he ceredited repor-tei-wnl tmiehlrtliy. -and invited him to take a glass ofwine with - htm. . The 'ac credited reporter made himself very agree able, and pretty broadly hinted that his notice in the Times would be of a nature that could not fail to attract the public. The 'accredited reporter' theu solicited the loan of a couple of sovereigns, observing that it was too late for him to get a sup ply of cash in the city. Mr. Friend, feel ing that a loon under such circumstances was really to be a gift in return for the complimentary critique., gave the money, and the 'accredited reporter' took a friendly leave and went ?.vay. Mr. Friend wait ed several days for the expected notice in iheT'imes, but, as nothing appeared, he thought the best way was to call at the Times office, to inquire about the accredi ted reporter when he was informed that Mr: Butler was entjrely unconnected with the Times newspaper, and that, consequent ly, he had been victimized by a sharper. Mr. Friend was now desirous of knowing whether he could not proceed against the person who had committed tho- fraud upon him UPHOLSTERS & PIPER HANGERS, KEEP ON HAND AM MADE TO ORDER, Mdttrases, Feather Beds; Window Curtains and JFiztr& AH worktw he abo lVo done at shortest No lle, . 1 Wiloiiogioo, n.

Established in order lo afford the Afflicted sbnrid and scientific .Medical Aid, and for the suppression of Quackery. DR. 1. B. Smith has for many years devoted his wholeacieniion (othe treatment of Private com plaints, in ail their varied and complicated forms. His great success in those long standing and diffi cult cases, such as were formerly considered incur able, is sufficient to commend lain to the public as worthy of the extensive patronage he has received. Within the last eight years, Or. ii. has treated more than 29,500 cases of Private Complaints, in thtir different forms and stages; a practice which no doubt exceeds that of all other physicians now ad vertising in Baltimore, and not a single case is known where his directions were strictly followed, and medicines taken at reasonable time, without effecting a radical and permanent cure; therefore, persons afflicted with diseases of the above nature, ' no matter now difficult or long standing the case nay be," would do well to call on Dr. Smith, at his office, No, 16, South Frederick St., and ifnotctiec tually relieved no remuneration will be required for hU services. His medicines are free from Mercury and all mineral poisons ; put up in a neat and com. pact form, and may be taken in a public or private house, or while travelling, without exposure or hin drance from business, and except incases of vio ent inflammation, no change of diet is necessary. STRICTURES. Dr. Smith has discovered a new method by which he can cure the worst form of stricture and that without pain or inconvenience to the patient. Irritation of the uretha, or prostrate glands, or neck of the bladder,is sometimes mistaken Icr strictures by general practitioners or charlatans. YOUNG MEN and others afflicted with Seminal Debility, wheth er originating from a Certain Destructive Habit, or from any other cause, with train of bodily and men tal evils which follow, when neglected, should make an early application, thereby avoiding muchtrouble and suffering, as well as expense. By bis improved method of treatment, Dr. S. can safely guarantee a speedy and perfect cure in all casts of this com plaint. . j : TO FEMALES4 All dise.ies peculiar to Females (as also Sup pressions, Irregularities, tc.) speedily and effectu ally removed. The efficacy of his remedies, for the cure of theabove affections, have been well tested in an ex lens ve practice for the last twelve years. Persons at a distance may consult Dr. S. by a letter, post-paid, describing case, and have medicine securely put np and forwarded to any part of the United St i tes. always accompanied with full and explicit directions for use. Communications con sidered strictly confidential. Office arranged with separate apartments, so that patients never see any one but the doctor himself.
