A PEDDLER'S STORY.
A cold winter's night several years
since, found a stage load of passengers
gathered together around a warm fire
o 1 a tavern bar-room in a New Eng
land village. Shortly after we arrived
a peddler drove up and ordered that his
horse should lie stabled for the night.
After we had eaten supper we repaired
to the bar-room, where conversation
flower! freely. Several anecdotes had
been related, and finally the peddler
was asked to give us a story, as the
men of his profession were generally
full of adventures and anecdotes. lie
was a short, thick set man, somewhere
about forty years of age, and gave evi
dence of great physical strength. lie
gave his name as Lemuel Vinney, and
liis home was in Dover, New Hamp
shire.
i '•Well, gentlemen," he commenced,
knocking the ashes from his pipe, ami
putting it in his pocket, "suppose 1
tell you the last thing of any conse
quence that happened me. You see 1
am now right from tiie West, and on
my way home for winter quarters. It
was during the early part of last spring,
one pleasant evening, that I pulled up
at the door of a small village tavern in
Hancock county, Indiana. I went 111,
called for my supper, and had my horse
taken care of. After I had eaten, I sai
down in the bar-room. It began to
I rain about eight o'clock, and it was
very dark out of doors. Now, I want
ed to be in Jackson the next morning,
for I expected a load of goods there for
me, which I intended to dispose of on
my way home.
The moon would rise about midnight
and 1 knew if it did not rain 1 could
get along through the mud very well
after that. So I asked the landlord if
he would see that my horse was fed a
bout midnight, as I wished to bo off a
bout two. He expressed some surprise
at this and asked me why I did not
stay for breakfast. I told him that I
had sold my last load about out, and
that a new lot of goods was waiting
for meat Jackson, and 1 wanted to get
there before the express agent left in
the morning.
There were a number of persons sit
ting around while I told this, but I
took little notice of them; only one
arrested my attention. I had seen
that week a notice, for the detection of
a notorious robber. The bills gave a
description of his person, and the man
before me answered very well to it. Ile
was a tall, well formed man, rather
slight in frame, and had the appear
ance of a gentleman, save that his face
bore those hard, cruel marks which an
observing man cannot mistake for any
thing hut the index of a villainous dis
position.
When I went to my chamber I ask
ed the landlord who that ruau was, de
scribing the individual. lie said he
did not know him. He had come there
that afternoon, and intended to leave
the next day. The host asked me why
I wished to know and I told him that
the man's countenance was familiar,
and I merely wished to know if I was
ever acquainted with him.
I was resolved not to let the landlord
into the secret, but to hurry on to Jack
son, and there to give information to
the sheriff and perhaps he might reach
the inn before the villain left, for I had
110 doubt as to his identity.
I had an alarm watch, and having
set it to give the alarm at one o'clock,
I went to sleep, i was alarmed at the
proper time, and immediately dressed
myself. When I reached the yard I
found the clouds all passed away, and
the moon was shining brightly. The
hostler was easily aroused, and by two
o'clock was on the road. The mud
was deep, and my horse could not travel
very fast. However, on we went, and
in the course of half an hour was clear
of the village. At a short distance a
head lay a large lore-t, mostly of great
pine. The road lay directly through
this wood, and, as near as I can remem
ber, the distance was twelve miles
Yet the moon was in the east, and as
the road ran nearly in the West, I
thought I should have light enough.
I had entered this wood and had
gone about half a mile, when my wag
on wheel settled with a bump and a
jerk into a deep hole, t uttered an ex
clamation of astonishment, but this
was not all. I heard another exclama
tion from the same cause. What could
this mean? I looked quietly around
but couldsee nothing; yet I know that
the sound was very close behind me.
As the hind wheelscame up I felt some
thing beside the jerk from the hole. I
heard something tumble from one side
to another of my wagon, and I could
also feel the jar occasioned by the move
ment. It was simply a man in my
cart. I knew this on the instant. Of
course I felt puzzled. At first I imag
ined that some one had taken this
method to obtain a ride. My next idea
was that somebody got in to sleep
there : but this passed away as soon as
it came, for no man would have bro
ken into my cart for that purpose.
And that thought, gentlemen, opened
my eyes. Whoever was there had bro
ken in. My next thought was of the
suspicious individual I had seen at the
tavern. He heard me say that my
load was all soli I out, and of course he
supposed 1 had money with me. In
this he was right, for 1 had over two
thousand dollars. I thought lie meant
to leave the cart when he supposed I
had reached a safe place, anl then creep
over and shoot me, or kno<n me down.
All this passed through liy mind by
the time I had got a rod frtn the hole.
In a few moments my roolution was
formed. My horse was Inee deep in
the mud, and I knew I ould slip off
without noise. So 1 dreV my pistol,
and having twined my refas about the
whip stock, carefully slipjed down in
the mud, and examined the hasp. The
outer door of the cart lets town, and i.s
fastened by a hasp, which sips over the
staple and is then secured It; a padlock.
The padlock was gone, and then the
hasp was secured in its owt place by a
bit of pine, so that a slight force from
within would break it. My wheel
wrench stood in a leathern bucket on
the side of the cart, and I tuickly took
it out and slipped it into the staple, the
iron handlejust sliding dcwn.
Xow I had him. My <art was al
most new, made of a stoic, frame of
white oak, and made on p£irf>6se for
hard usage. I did not. beliere an ordi
nary man could bretk out. I got on
my cart as noiselesslyas I got off, and
then urged my horse in, still keeping
my pistol handy. I knew that ;U a
distance of half a mil.' further 1 should
come to a hard road, ind so I allowed
my horse to pitch hisown way through
the mud.
About ten minutesafter this I heard
amotion in the cait, followed by a
grinding noise, as thiugh some heavy
force was being applied to the door. I
said nothing, but tie idea struck me
that the villain might judge where 1
sat, and shoot up through the cart at
me; so I sat down n the footboard.
Of course 1 knew hat my unexpect
ed passenger was a T illain, for he must
have been awake ever since I started,
and nothing in theworld but absolute
villainy would havecaused him to keep
quiet so long, and then start up iu this
particular place. r fhe thumping and
pushing grew louder, and pretty soon j
I heard a human voice.
"Let me out of this!" and he yelled
pretty loud.
1 lifted my head so as to make him
think I was in the usual place, and
then asked him what he was doing
there.
"Let me out and I will tell you," he
replied.
"Tell me what you are in there for!"
said I.
"I got in here to sleep on rags," he
answered.
"How did you get in?" I asked.
"Let meoutjor I'll shoot you through
the head!" he replied.
Just at that moment my horse's feet
struck the hard road, and I knew that
the rest of the route to Jackson would
be good going; the distance twelve
miles. I slipped back to the front
board and took the whip. In fifteen
minutes we cleared the woods, and a
way we went at a keenjump. The
chap inside kept yelling to be let out.
Finally he stopped, and in a few
minutes came the report of a pistol—
one—two—three—four, one right after
the other, and I heard the balls whiz
over my head. If I had been on my
seat, one of those balls, if not two of
them, would have gone through me.
J popped up my head again and gave
a ye.l, and then I said, "O (tod, save
me!—l'm a dead man!" Then I made
a kind of shuffling noise, as though I
was falling off, and finally settled down
on the front hoard again, i now urg
ed up the old mare by giving her an
occasional poke with my whip stock,
and she peeled it faster than ever.
The man called out to me twice more
pretty soon after this, and as he got no
reply he made some tremendous ef
forts to break the door open, and as this
also at last failed him, he made several
attempts on the top. But I had no
more fear of his doing anything there,
for the top of the cart was framed with
dove tails, and each sleeper bolted to
the post with iron bolts, 1 had it made
so I could carry loads there. By and
by, after all else failed, the scamp com
menced to yell "whoa" to the horse.
All this time I kept perfectly quiet,
holding the reins firmly, and kept po
king the beast with the stock of my
whip. We were not an hourgoing that
dozen miles, not a bit of it, and I had
not much fear; perhaps 1 might tell the
truth and say I had none, for I had a
a good pistol, and more than that my
pass- nger was safe, yet 1 was glad when
1 came to the Jackson village, and in
ten minutes more hauled up in front of
the tavern, and found a couple of men
in the barn cleaning down some stage
horses.
"Well, old fellow," said I, as I got
down and went to the back of the wag
on, "you have had a good ricle, have
n't you?"
"Who are you?" he said, and he
swore as he asked the question.
"I am the man you tried to shoot,"
.was my reply.
"Where am I ?—let me out."
"Look here, we've come to a safe
stopping place, and mind you that my
pistol is ready for you the moment you
show yourself. Now lay quiet.
By this time the two hostlers had
come to see what was the matter, and
I explained the case. After this I got
one of them to run and rout the sheriff
and tell him what I believed I'd got
for him. The first streak of daylight
was coming up, and in half an hour it
was broad daylight. In less than that
time the sheriff came and two men
with him. 1 told him the whole affair
in a few words and then made for the
cart. He told the chap inside who he
was, and if he made the least resistance
he'd lie a dead man. ! then slipped
the iron wrench out, and as I let the
i door down the fellow made a spring.
! I caught him by the ankle and became
j down on his face, and the moment 1
I saw the chap I recognized him. He
| was marched to the lock up, and I told
' the sheriff I should remain in town all
| day.—After breakfast the sheriff came
: down to the tavern and told me J had
caught the very bird, and that if I
would remain until next Monday I
should have the reward of two hund-
I red dollars which had been offered.
I found my goods all safe, paid the
express agent for bringing them from
Indianapolis, and then went to stow
them away in my cart. The bullet
holes were found in the top of the ve
hicle just as I expected. They were in
a line, about live inches apart, and had
I been where I usually sit, two of
them must have hit me somewhere a
bout the small of the back and passed
upward, for they were sent with heavy
.•barges of powder, and his pistols were
heavy ones.
On the next morning the sheriff call
ed upon me and paid me two hundred
dollars in gold, for he had made him
self sure that he had got the villain.
I afterwards found a letter in the
post-office at Portsmouth for me, from
the sheriff of Hancock county, and he
informed me that the fellow who tried
to kill and rob me is in prison for life.

which ourcapitalists will do well to read
and seriously ponder upon:
The late rapid decline in United States
securities in England has excited con
siderable surprise. When we read the in
cendiary speeches 0/ the Radical leaders,
however, their open threats of civil war
and fixed determination to regard the
Southern Stales as conquered provinces
and not as a portion of a restored Union,
we can scarcely wonder at this decline.
Until the difficulty at present existing
between the President and Congress is
settled, confidence cannot be expected
to revive. Capitalists will not care to
invest their money in a country so torn
by political differences and unsettled by
political uneasiness. We learn that in
vestments in United States securities hare
utmost ceased, not only in London, but al
so in Frankfort, the quotations being al
most entirety nominal. At the same time
all other securities maintain their pri
ces, Austrian included, which are deem
ed more worthy of confidence than those
of the American republic. The conse
quence of the decline iu American secu
rities in Europe will, in due course of
time, be a corresponding depression in
the States, coupled with a depreciation
in the currency, and a consequent rise
iu the price of gold. And ail this is the
result of the blustering vaporing of the
Radical party, their constantly reitera
ted throats of war with Great Britain,
and their evident determination to prevent
any reconciliation of the adverse parties
in the Slates.
THE ELDEST DAUGHTER AT HOME.
—To be able to get dinner, to sweep the
room, to make a garment, to tend a ba
by, would add greatly to the list of a
young lady : s accomplishments. Where
can we behold a more lovely sight than
the eldest daughter of a family standing
in the sweet simplicity of her new wo
manhood, by theside of her toiling, care
worn mother, to relieve and aid her?
Now she presides at the table, now di
rects in the kitchen, now amusing the
fretting babe, now diverts half a score
of little folks in the library. She can
assist her younger brothers in t heir stud
ies, read the newspaper to her weary
father, or smooth the aching brow of
her fevered mother. Always ready with
a helping hand, or cheerful smile for
every emergency, she is an angel of
ove, and a blessing to the home circle.
Should she be called out of it to origi
nate a home of her own would she be
I any less lovely or self-sacrificing?
VOL. 61.—WHOLE No. 5,373.
THE LAW. —Two Dutchmen, who
built and used in common a small
bridge over a stream which ran through
their farms, had a dispute concerning
some repairs which it required, and one
of them positively refused to bear any
portion of the expense necessary to the
purchase of a few planks. Finally the
aggrieved party wont to a neighboring
lawyer, and placing ten dollars in his
hand,said:
"I'll give you all dish money if you'll
make Hans do justice mit de bridge."
"How much will it cost to repair it?"
asked the honest lawyer.
"Notmore ish five dollars," replied
the Dutchman.
"Very well," replied the lawyer,
pocketing one of the notes, and giving
him the other; "take this and go and
get the bridge repaired; 'tis the best
course you can take.
"Yaes," said the Dutchman slowly,
"yaas, dat ish more better as to quarrel
mit Hansbut as he went along home
he shook his head frequently, as if un
able after all, to see quite clearly how
he had gained anything by going to
law.
DISTRESSING. —A few days since a
fashionably dressed young lady, with
one of those funny little hats upon her
head, was slowly airing he'r charms a
long Washington street, Indianapolis,
when she passed acountry horsemunch
ing "stake oats"—the only cereal, to
judge from his appearance, with which
he had been acquainted for many a
hungry month. A fanciful wreath of
green leaves encircling the funny atom
ofa hat attracted the attention of old
rack'o bones, and he nipped it. The
hat was securely tied under the dimp
led chin, and for a while the frightened
lady, whose piercing shrieks alarmed
the whole neighborhood, was in immi
nent danger of strangulation. Finally,
however, something gave way, and the
young lady fled, leaving the old horse
quietly munching the wreaths and
crown of her hat.
DUST.—A few Sabbaths since, F.da
was, at her own request allowed to go
to the Sabbath school for the first time,
and there she learned the startling in
telligence that she was made of dust!
Little Eda's mind was fully impressed
with the importance of the great truth,
as was evinced by her frequent refer
ence to the subject in the shapeof ques
tions answerable and unanswerable.
This morning however she propounded
a stunner which "brought down the
house." Intently watching her moth
er sweeping, as if to learn the art she
must finally practice,sayingnota word,
her eyes resting upon the little pile of
dirt accumulated by the mother's
broom. Just as the dirt was to beswept
into the street, the little philosopher
burst forth ; "Ma! ma ! why don't you
save the dust to make some more little
girls?"
MANHOOD AND WOMANHOOD. —Who
are you, young man, young woman liv
ing in this country and age, and yet
doing nothing to benefit others? Who
are you—blessed with body and intel
lect, and yet an idler in the busy work
shop of life ? Who are you with immor
tal soul, and yet that soul so deaf to the
myriad voices all about you that call to
duty and to labor? Arise! and be a
faithful toiler. God calls you—humani
ty calls you—and they have both a right
to all your powers. Arise! Make your
whole life one sqene of industry! Arise
and go forth, and every moment your
feet shall press oryour hand touch some
pedal or key in the "organs that shake
the universe." Arise! there is work for
you to do. You were created to toil
and bear a hand where the hammers of
time are ringing as they fashion the fab
ric of eternity.
GOOD ADVICE. —Some one says:
"Girls, let us tell you a stubborn truth!
No young woman ever looks so well to
asensibleyoung man, as when dressed
ina plain, neat, modest attire without a
singie ornament about her person. IShe
looks then as though she possessed worth
in herself, and needed no artificial rig
ging to enhance her value. If a young
woman would spend so much time in
calculating her mind, training her tem
per, and cherishing kindness, mercy,
and othergoed qualities, as most of them
do in extra dress and ornaments, to in
crease their personal charms, she would
at a glance, be known among ten thous
and—her character would be read in
her countenance."
WINGED GAME. —A late number of
the London Athentmm, in reviewing a
work on natural history, gives a list of
the different terms whieh are properly
applied to flocks of various kinds of
winged game—a blunder in which
would at once settle one's character as a
sportsman. Thus one ought to say a
brood of grouse, a bevy ofquails, a cov
er of partridges, a covert of coots, a
dropping of sheldrake, a flightof wood
cock, a gaggle of geese (when they are
at rest), a skein of geese (when on the
wing), a herd of swans, a nid of pheas
ants, a spring of teal, a sege of herons,
a team of wild ducks a trip of dotterels,
a wing of plovers and a wisp of snipes.
Mas. PARTINGTON* STII.L TALKS.—
"Dear me, how fluidly he talks?" said
Mrs. Partington, recently at a temper
ance meeting. "I am always rejoiced
when he mounts the nostril, for his el
oquence warms every cartridge of my
body."
It is estimated that three thousand
emigrants have been killed on the way
to Montana, this season.
A FABLE— A young man once picked
up a sovereign lying on the road. Ever
afterward, as he walked along, he kept
hiseyes steadfastly fixed on the ground,
in hopes of finding another. And in
the course of a long life he did pick up,
at different times, a good amount of
gold and silver. Hut all these days, as
he was looking for them, he saw not
that heaven was bright abovehim, and
nature beautiful around, lie never
once allowed his eyes to look up from
the mud and tilth in which he sought
the treasure, and when lie died, a rich
old man, he only knew this lair earth
of ours as a dirty road to pick up mon
ey as you walk along.
MODERN FASHIONS. —A young "la
dy" from the country, now employed
in a New York hoop skirt factory, is
>aid to have written to a friend a letter
from which the following is extracted:
"As for the lo necs, the loer it is the
more fashunahle you are, aud the less

T111: VI K< JIN I A TOBACCO (.'nor.—The
Richmond Whig says that the Virginia
tobacco crop has turned out well, the
quantity being considerable and the
quality good. Nearly every farmer
whose land admitted of it has raised
tobacco, and as this is the great money
crop of Virginia, the Whig anticipates
that by the sale of their tobacco i he far
mers will be placed in a good financial
position, and can begin thoiragricultu
ral labor next year under better pros
pects.
THE MORMON" WOMEN.—A Salt Lake
correspondent says: The exceeding
plainness, not to say ugliness of Mor
mon women is a fact that has been com
mented upon by almost all the differ
ent visitors to Salt Lake City, as in
deed it was impossible for the most
cursory observer to avoid noticing it;
but although often mentioned, 1 doubt
if justice has ever been done the sub
ject, which appears to be one of those
general rules to which there are very
few, if any, exceptions.
" PUT down that pickle !" The words
are uttered hurriedly and harshly by
the sergeant, to an ungracious private,
who, carried away by his hungry pas
sions, has snatched a pickle from the
barrel. "And why should I put down
the piekle?" queries the private mildly.
"Put down that pickle I —that's all I
want of you," returned the sergeant,
determinedly. "Down it goes then!"
he cried, and stuffing it into his mouth
it quickly disappeared.
ANECDOTE OF DR. GUTHRIE.—
"They say I am growing old because
my hair is silvered and there are crow's
feet upon my forehead, and my step is
not so firm and elastic as of yore. But
they are mistaken. That is not me. The
knees are weak, but the knees are not
me. The eyes are dim, but the eyes
are not me.—-This is the house in which
1 live, but 1 am young—younger now
than I ever was before."
"SIB," said a fierce lawyer," "do
you, on your solemn oath, declare that
this is not your handwriting?"
"I reckon not," was the cool reply.
"Does it resemble your handwriting?"
"Yes, sir 1 think it don't."
"Do you swear it don't resemble your
writing?"
"Well I do old head."
"You take your solemn oath that this
writing does not resemble yours in a
single letter?
"Y-e-a-s, sir."
"Now how do you know?"
"Cause I can't write"
"SAMBO, am you posted inde aatur
al sciences ?"
"Sartingly —ob course I is."
"Can you tell me de cause ob de great

Oh, dat's easy 'nough for de merest
chile in scientific larnin.' l)e great rot
in potatoes is all owin' to de rcft-toter-y
