The Stage Tavern l'ublla Scheel and Mar
kets or Nearly Sixty Yer Age A Sun
day at the Presbyterian Church In
tteapltable iJincaMer Heme.
II.
When Ann Keyall came te town, in the
chill Novembor days et 1828, the stage that
landed her In Lancaster " stepped nt nil In In
dKTerent tavern only tit for wagoners" ( nud
the landlord, In her opinion, was " an
awkward sloenoy, though he was net a Ger
man." lle waSKrufl'nnd rude te her lady
ship and " had no room" ; Bhe get a dinner
that might have been worse, but siie
" thought the hog might have prepared a
room," erntlc.vt have geno out and hunted
up ene for her somewhoro. She subsldleed
a llttle, ragged, match-peddllng boy, whom
ahe found at the tavern, te convey te Mr.
Buchanan, the member or Congress, news or
her arrival, and he gallantly came te her
relief with gceat rourtesy and promptness.
He put her In charge of Mr. Parker, " late or
Chester county,"vhe took horlehlshousoand
must have provided for her very hospitably,
as Mrs. Royall ascribes te him "oase and olo elo ole
ganco of manner," "iulolllgence orcounton ercounton orceunton
anco," "mild aspect," " Interesting
figure" uud an "alluring siuile which tw
cempan!e,d his sea voice.' Ills wile and
the hostess of this chronicler is described
as "plainly dressed, levely in her person,
kind and uHablu a her, husband," wlthn be
nign countenauce, 'iiC1 .lustrous, soft, blue
eye. Frem all of whlehrit seems that Ann
0 Royal could pralse as well as scold.
Miss Byrne, who lived with the family as
a friend and who, Hke the geed housewilo,
wero "no rulllesjcurls or flounces" wis "iin "iin "iin
affeoted and unadorned by ought but vlr vlr
tues" ; she "was well informed', .gay and
lively." The traveling historian fairly
"gushes" ever the refinement, nobility and
courtesy of Lancaster society of that day j lis
representatives crowded her p.uior.she
Bays.
Mrs. Dicksen, who. In connection with her
publication or the Inti:i.luii:nci;ii, ran a
book stere then, alie found te be a w Idmv, a
"worthy, plain, sensible, kind and honest
woman" with a large family, and she had
pretty hard getting along. Yeung Feran,
who edited the paper, found favor in the
eyes or Mrs. Heyall and is set down for a
"very amiable young man." Hut when the
family preacher stepped Inte tiie book stere
what must have been his astonishment and
we can easily conceive of him being " put te
flight," as recorded iitnn the assault of a
strange woman who mildlycharactorizes him
as " a great old, rcd-f.iucd, red-het mission
ary, the brimstone was smoking out of his
mouth," "and he wero a sleek, lluu broad
cloth coat."
Thore was but ene small library In Lancas
ter then, and that was kept by a ladv The
stranger was delighted te hair from t'liesu In
attendance that her " Black Boek " was read
with avidity by its titrens.
A General Mesler, whom Mrs. Heyall round
in Lancaster, was a Una figure ler his age, six
feet thrce inches in height, straight as an
Indian, and though dressed in red Il.muel It
could net disguisa his noble mien. He had
been born in Bosten, fought at Bunker Hill
and was a " Chostcrlleld in manners " and a
blacksmith by vocation.
OUJECTS OV lNTKUHST.
The court houe, which was then in Cen
tre Square, Is d03crlbcd by Ann Heyall as a
" very handseme building" ; and theb.iuks
and churches were co 3tly and elegant. The
peer heuse was " In a ery Improper place"
It is j-ct. The Academy Kev. Jeseph
Clarksen, president, and Mr. James V. Wil Wil
eon, principal had twonty-llve stuiieids,
" line looking, modest youth" j and the prin
cipal, Mr. Wilsen, was " a very young man
of amiable manners and disposition, and a
man of high llterary attainments for his
years." l'erlect order, silence and decorum
reigned in his school room. The male
public school then had " 200 quite bmall boys
very modest and handsomely featured,
though many of tlium had aslckly aspect."
this being in the year that bilious
fever provailed se generally iu Lan
caster, as recently recalled in these
columns bj' Dr. Atlee, who was iu active
practlce nt that early date. Fuller, "a
Yankee, et ceurse, " was lu charge and get
(500 salary. Iu the female department girls
from 0 te 12 wero making wonderful pro
gress in drawing and needlework. The
German children, just beginning English,
were most attenth e and delighted with their
acquirement of "knowledgo of the lan
guage." Jehn A Laiulis, "a very amiable anil iu-
?;enleus man," had a handseme museum col cel col
cctlen, manufacturing most et the artificial
specimens himself, among them n represen
tation of the French Hostile.
The market hore commanded the so
journer's admiration, being atllucnt ami neat..
Te her its greatest curiosity was "Dutch
cheese," neither the appearance nor smell
of which was te her taste. But "smear case"
she pronounced "superior" te the best butter.
Here, tee, she saw "mammoth umbrellas,
about ten feet in diameter," covering as many
.as a dozen persons, sheltering the market
carts and wagons.

But the spiciest and most picturesquely In
teresting part of her story Is that In which the
autheress of this velume under consideration
pays her rospects te some of the mast notable
personages of Lancaster society in that day.
The names sprinkled through her narrative
are quite familiar, and these te whom they
belonged are well remomberod here. That
part of her story is reprinted iu full, save a
few lll-tempered and spiteful allusions te
well-known citizens who probably resented
her impertiueucu and obtruslveuoss. Hhe

"Fer the length of llme I spout in the city,
flvedays, I formed a cry oxtenslve acquaint
ance. Ne noeplo in the United States are
mere disposed te friendship and hospitality
than the tieople of Lancaster. They vle with
each ether lu paying respect te, and lavishing
kindness upon strangers. Hen. James
Buchanan I have mentioned In the 3d vel., of
the Black-book ; his honor, the mayor of the
city, was almost the first man who paid his
rospects his name Is Nathaniel Liglitiier, a
very gentlemanly man, of middle age, nud
stout robust make, geed health, fair complex

and no man inore bountiful or liberal te the
peer. Geerge Leuis Mayer, esq., also paid
me unremitting attention. Mr. M. is an
alderman of the city, rather small, and lame,
from being alllicted with the rheunmtlsni
many years, though still iu the prime of life.
He is a inerchant of considerable, wealth, and
a man or princely virtues his hand Is ever
spread iu distributing rclief te the needy
widow, the sick, and the frieudless orphan.
While I was in I.ancaster, he found a ioer
Invalid somewhere in the city, and had him
removed te his own heuse, and nursed him
w Ith his own linudsl Mrs. M. is also a pattern
of kindness and humanity. Their whele
business scorns te be that et hunting up the
friendless and distressed, and rolieving their
wants. Few relfove distress, lu these days,
when itcomesto tllelr deer, much less de
they seek after it. But this is the true
Catholic spirit I being a stranger, Mr. M.
never missed a day, often two or thrce times
in the same day, but he called te see If he

ought te take mttern by him befere he at
tempts te regulate the government; but he,
nor his whele tribe, never performed as
much goodness. Though I am bound te
acknowledge my obligations te Mr. Mayer, I
steed In no need of a friend iu Lancaster.
Mr. Parker himself devoted his whele time

reflects eternal honor upon the state of
Pennsylvania. Mr. P. was constantly bring

"Wishing te seethe bltie-sklns, I went te

In the aisle, who should approach me but lhe
big red-faced elder takes a drop of the com
fortable, doubtless, with all his Indigo
whom I put iu terror at Mrs. Dicksen's
book-store 'will you have a seat, madam ?'
said he, and led me te a pew iu front of the
pulpit. This was kind. H was raining
hard, and I get very wet, being en feet. It
was communion day, uud the church was
crowded. 1 liked their leeks, however,
better than most of the sect they wero
neatly dressed, geed-looking people, and had
an nfref easy gentility about tliem. They
tried te draw out their faces te blue-stecking
length, but failed In their nim. The priest, n
slcklydoeklng muii, speke very well, and
had u very line countenauce; but, Hke the
whele of them, his prayers were abominably
long. De they learn this In the Bible? the
vile Imposters, are we net commanded te
make short prayers? This is merely done
te detain the people in their presence.
"This preacher would have been nn nml nml

who wero them they wero most hatcf'lly

show the 'Iranucts off, they wero continually
shaking them, without reflecting that I
could net see through them.
"Neither priest nor people hud that long, s
