H. BIGOURNEY Two married sisters!, side by side, In houses large and fair, .0n the good farm their father gave, Dwelt in contentment rare. The neighbors mark'd their growing wealth, Where ease and plenty vied, And some on t'other aide the brook Their state with envy eyed. They visited each other oft, Took part in joy or care ; To the same schools their children went, And all was bright and fair. Bat she who wore a cap of snow, And held the spindles fast, Unto her sister sharply spoke, As her own northern blast: "No longer can I hold my peace— I feel impelled to say, Your kitchen is a nuisance vile To all who pass that way. "I am truly mortified that one Who bears our household name Should be determined to abide In suoh disgrace and shame." Then she who ruled the cotton field Indignantly replied, And so their old regard was ohang'd To haughtiness and pride. Their offspring took the quarrel up, And at each other hiss d ; The little ones made ugly months, The older shook their fist. At length, a nice old spinster aunt, Miss Uzerrr by name, Whom both their parents maoh had loved, To pay a visit came. - Each had a long complaint to make, And one was heard to say, That from her honored father's farm She meant to move away. "How, now, good nieces ! What's the feud? I fear you're growing daft,. Good will and peace are more to you Than all the kitchen craft. " What! move away for such a cause? Where'd be the gain, I pray? 'Twould stir your father in his grave To hear the words you say. "Don't make a harder bargain, now, Than Esau did of old : He got a mesa of pottage, sure, When he his birth-right sold. t' Don't turn your kindred blood to gall, And fire-brands round ye strew; I beard them t'other side the brook A laughing loud at you. "Come, lip to lip, and hand to hand! Nor let me longer grieve, For I must see Jou reconciled Before I take my leave." At first they pouted, then they look'd Into each other's eyes, And then the dear old cradle love Sprang up without disguise. They took Miss Usury's advice, And, every discord o'er, Forgiving and forgetting, lived As happily as before. THE - BACHELOR'S BUTTON. Some years ago, when I was a single man and dreaming (as some single men do) of double bliss yet destined to arrive, I went to a concert at the Music Hall of Boston. Music is poetically and proverbial ly the food of love,' and in my senti mental state I consumed a good deal of it, not that I had any object in view. Mine was abstract love ; I cultivated it, I in creased my stock, so that I might have a good deal of the tender passion on band whenever I saw an eligible opportunity of investing it. Well, to return to the con cert, it was crowded to excess, and the rush on leaving to reach cabs and car riages was very great. I wore on that memorable 'night a blue coat with brass buttons, and I flattered myself there were worse looking men in the room. I tell you candidly I admired myself, and next to myself, the other party I was most struck with was a fine girl with dark eyes and black hair, who sat with some young friends a few forms distant. I hoped she noticed me and my blue coat with brass buttons. 1 looked at her often enough to attract her attention to both ; and being, as my friends would say, in rather a spooney state, worked myself in a tower ing passion—of lave. But how was I to come at the object of my admiration, for I was as diffident as devoted, as shy as I was vain,' as an over-candid friend once said. Hail Columbia, which concluded the concert, surprised me as unprepared as on my first glance to improve the occasion, and the company were shoaling out while I stood mutely gaping after the object of my love at first sight. She and her party eddied for a while by the inner door of the concert room, and were then drawn out into the retiring current and lost to sight. 1 followed quickly after, lest I should lose forever all opportunity of identifying my idol ; but alas !—the lights were few and so far between, that 'no glimpse of my star could I get.' I pushed and elbowed fiercely through the crowd, with a view of getting to the outer door before my fair one's party had emerged, and thus gaining once more a sight of my sweeting. Hang it !' I muttered, impatiently, as I felt a tug at my coat tail, and was instantly conscious of one of my hind but tons having hitched: to some lady's dress ; my progress was suddenly arrested. 'How provoking,' said I, as I was brought to a stand, for I could not push on without losing a button or tearing a dress ; how provoking the modern fashion, a lady now has as many hoops and tentacles about her apparel as a sea anemone.' It was with some irritation that I stopped. to undo the button, but my hurry made the task more difficult, and instead of undoing, I only bungled and more twisted the loop around the button. Please to let me try,' said the lady herself, as I bungled over the business ; she ungloved her hand, it was a sweet white hand ; Bo I looked at her face. Stars and garters ! but it was a fair one, black hair and dark eyes I was in pursuit of. As she stooped over the entangled button, a slight blush tinted her cheek. Oh, it was delicious. I hoped she never would undo the loop, and indeed she would not, for her fingers were twitching nervously, and my heart was beating audibly ; I tried to help her; our fingers met. Please to make way there,' shouted a gruff voice behind. We were blocking up the passage ; was there ever such an un lucky spot for so lucky an entanglement l You hinder the people from going out, Annie, exclaimed one of her companions with some tu3perity ; plague upon the tire some loop, break it ; and suiting the sc. , tion to the word, the speaker leaned for ward, - taught the sleeve of her beautiful friend's - dress in one hand, and my , coat tail in the other, and giving a quick' and - decided tag, severed us. The crowd-bores:kik, aud..we were sepa rated ; not, .however . before I gave my ,6 star ' a look which I intended to speak volumes. I thought she did not seem un conscious of my Meaning—our eyes met I knew, and this was the only consolation left me, for immediately afterward I lost her and her party to view in the darkness outside. That night I scarcely closed my eyes, thinking of my g bright particular star,' and what means I should employ to find her out. I knew little of the town, which was a large one and to expect to know the name 2f my- fair one by mere description was hopeless. There doubtless must be a great many with dark eyes within bills of mortality' as elsewhere. My love fit grew more and more violent in the course of the day ; but tired out at length with my search, I returned to the hotel, and took out my dress coat from my portmanteau to feed my 'flame even with the contemplation of the inanimate button that had detained the, 'black-eyed divinity' so long. It was with no little delight I now discovered what did not before catch my eye—a fragment of the silk loop of her dress still adhered to the button twisted round the shank. I pressed it to my lips; it was lilac in color—and I stooped to gently disentangle it from the brass as though it were a tress of my loved one's hair, when something clinked in the skirt pocket. I supposed I had left some money there, for in my perturbation and excite ment I omitted to search the goat on tak ing it off the night before. I thrust my hand into the pocket. Gracious me ! What did I behold, what did I take out I—a gold chain and bracelet! You could have brained me with my lady's fan. I saw at a glance how matters stood ; in the excitement and flarry of un doing the loop from my button, the lady had undone the clasp of her own bracelet, which had not unnaturally fell into the coat skirt with which she was engaged, and, doubtless, on missing it, instead of regarding me as romantic, she put me down as one of the swell mob, who had purpose ly entangled myself in her dress to rob her of her jewelry. Here was an anti-heroic position to find one's self—when I wished to be considered the most devoted of knights, to be re membered only as the most expert of pickpockets. Was ever an honest lover in such a plight and to make it worse, I could not see how I was to escape from this inevitable dilemma. I must go down to the grave remembered only in the dear one's mind as the nefarious purloiner of her bracelet. To find her out was im possible; but a bright idea struck me as my eyes lighted on a newspaper lying on the coffee-room table. I sat down and wrote an advertisement in the following words : " If the lady whose dress got entangled in a gen tleman's coat button in leaving the concert last Wednesday, will call or send to the Tremont Hotel, she will hear something to her advantage." There, I thought, as I gave the adver tisement to the boy, and five shillings to pay for the insertion in The Traveller— there, if that will not give me a clue to escape from a very unpleasant dilemma, and at the same time to know who my en chantress is, the fates mast indeed be very unpropitious. My plans being so far adopted, I order ed dinner, and waited patiently--or rather impatiently, the appearance of the news paper next morning. It was brought to my room damp from the press, and I then read in all the glory of large type, my interesting announcement—bat, my stars! with what an advertisement was it followed in the very same column. I only wonder that my hair did not stand on end, as I read as follows : 2 REWARD.--LOST or STOLEN, on the night of the Concert, at the Hall, a GOLD CHAIN BRACELET. It is thought to have been taken from the lady's arm by a piokpooket of gentle manly appearance, who wore a blue coat with brass buttons, and kept near the lady on her leaving the ball. Any one giving each information as will lead to the recovery of the bracelet, or the capture of the thief, (if it was stolen,) will receive the above re ward on applying at No. 7 Chambers Place. Here was a pretty plight—to be adver tised in the public papers as a pickpocket, when my only crime was like Othello's— that of "Loving not wisely—but too well." My determination, however, was quickly adopted. I went up stairs, put on the very identical-coat so accurately described, and taking the paper in my hand, pro ceeded to No. 7 Chambers' Place. I knocked at the door, and asked the servant who answered the name of the family. Having heard it, I said, a ls Miss Raymond in P c Yes, Sir,' replied the servant woman, c who shall I say wants her?' Tell her,' I replied, that the pick pocket, with a gentlemanly address, and blue coat with brass buttons, who stole her bracelet, is here, and wishes to return it to her.' The woman stared at me as though I were mad, but on repeating my request to her, she went and delivered my message. Soon there came out not my fair one With all that's best of dark and bright, Meeting in aspect and eye; but a stalwart brother. That,' I said, handing him the brace let, is Miss Raymond's property ; and though, as you perceive, I wear the blue coat with brass buttons and am flattered to think manners are not ungentlemanly, I am bound in candor to say I am no pickpocket.' Then, sir, you shall have the reward,' said the brother, taking out his purse. No,' I replied, for strange as it may appear, though Lam no pickpocket, I stole the lady's bracelet.' The man looked puzzled ; but when I told the truth, and pointed to the adver tieement in the same paper, as a proof that I did 'not want the property, he laughed heartily at the whole story, and at his sister's description of the gentle manly pickpocket. Well,' he said, you had better walk in and have tea with us, and my sister will be able to say whethershe can speak as to your identity, after which it will be time enough to canvass the propriety of sending for a constable. You may rest assured I accepted the invitation. Need I go further with the story. The lady (to use the words of the advertisement) captured the pickpocket.— The bachelor's button no longer adorns my blue coat, and I have now framed and glazed over the fire-place the advertise ment in which Lam publicly described by my own wife as a ' pickpocket with a gentlemanly address. When I' charge her with the libel she always does what shs luts this moment done—pay damages "THAT• boiiirrar re rink 'coot . _ LANCASTER CITY. TUESDAY. MORNING, APRIL '23, 1861. for ' ; the slander - in any amount of kisses, declaring, though not a pkikpocket, I was a thief and stole her heart and pocketed her bracelet. So ends the story of 'A Bachelor's Bntton. Hon. George M. Dallas to Lord Ercnigham. None of our readers can have forgotten, says the Bangor Union; how grossly Lord Bnoireirait-insulted our Minister to the Court of St. James, the Hon. GEORGE M. DALLAS, by calling his attention to the fact that there was a Negro in the Congress in which they were sitting. Since that insult the distinguished Peer, in answer to an invitation to be present at an anniver sary of the execution of John Brown, in Boston, has written that he 'felt honored by the invitation.' Mr. DALLAS makes this an occasion for addressing him a letter, from which the following extract is taken : I will now•pass to the second event, which has served in a still greater degree, by expanding the field of your operation, to strengthen and to confirm you in the position, which, by common consent, had been previously assigned to you. But before entering directly upon the subject, allow me to refer to an incident which occurred not a great while ago, at a spot not more than 3,000 miles distant froni that groat centre of civilization in which your Lordship moves. A murderer in another Continent closed a long career of crime under the gallows ! There was nothing peculiar in this fact, for such has been often the fate of mur derers in England, in America and else where. Bat this was a villain of no or dinary stamp. His victims were not stal wart men alone, but defenceless women and little children. He' did not slay in the glare of the noonday sun, as a common robber at the head of his band of retainers, but he killed in the quiet hours of the night, and the slumbers of innocence were startled by the death shrieks of his unsus pecting victims. But his crimes had not their beginning in those for which he suffered an ignominious death. They ex tended over a series of years, and the last, for which with his life he paid the forfeit, was by no weans the worst. I myself have seen and known the unhappy victims of his earlier crimes. I have seen and known the happy wife and mother—happy in the innocence and purity of her life, though humble in her station—and I have seen her again in all the desolation of a child less widowhood. Dreadful, indeed, were the scenes through which that poor woman passed during the brief space of one short night. She was sleeping in fancied secu rity when the spoiler came to her- humble log cabin, and passed through the unbarred door to the bedside of her sleeping husband and children. Your Lordship knows the rest, and I will be brief. They were four when they laid down to rest that dreadful night. The morning dawned on the living woman, surrounded by the lifeless and mutilated bodies of her husband and children. The chief criminal in this drama of blood, emboldened by immunity, changed the scene and enlarged the field of his operations. At Harper's Ferry he again unsheathed his bloody dagger, and again was the hour of midnight made terrible by the death struggles of his unwatching victims. Am I not right then is saying that John Brown was a villain of no or dinary stamp ? Sane men, in a contem plation of the magnitude of his crimes, have said that he was mad, while madmen have exalted the demon into a saint, and mourn for him as a martyr in a holy cause ! It was upon the 3d day of December, 1860, that his friends and partisans assem bled in the City of Boston to celebrate the first anniversary of his martyrdom. Previous to that time a letter had been addressied to your Lordship by the 'Com mittee of Managers,' inviting you to be present upon that occasion, and to join in that celebration. I did not rank you among the vicious and blood-thirsty fanatics with whom a common sentiment upon a single point, had served in some measure to identify you. Besides, I will add, that my high respect for the exalted order to which you belong, as well as the position in which you stand toward the occupant of a throne, induced in my mind the belief that you would, in some manner, exhibit your horror of the crime of assassination, and with such an emphasis that madmen Jnight never again give impression to the thought that an English nobleman could have any_ sympathies in common with either assas sins or their partisans. Pardon me, my Lord, if I, in uncon scious ignorance, did not estimate at their proper value the refined principles of that , higher law' which have been incorporated among the doctrines of that so-called great humanitarian anti-slavery party, of which you are so distinguished a chief. At first view it might occasion surprise that the Philanthropists 'of Great Britain should seem to shut their eyes to the mis eries and their ears to the wail of woe whioh go up around them from the millions of the unhappy, the destitute and depressed of their own race and kin who live through life a lingering death, while they have only eyes to see and ears to hear, and tears to shed over the reputed wrongs of a handful of Africans upon the far-off shore of a continent beyond the Atlantic. But it is necessary, in charity, to remem ber that the degradation and wrongs of the one are familiar to them from youth to old age. It is an oft 'told tale to which they have become aconstomed,familiar and, perhaps indifferent from its constant repe tition. They are probably appalled by the magnitude of the evil, and asked to for get its existence and their obligations by the exhibition of redoubled zeal in the cause of those whom their imagination excited by heart-rending romances, pic ture as the victims of sorrow and oppres sion in a far distant land. From this brief bat nol unnatural di gression I will return to the subject of the invitation which was given to you, to par ticipate in the celebration in memory of John Brown, the great American murderer. Permit me to refresh your memory with the first lines of your response to the corn. mittee in your own language Stu : I feel honored by the invitation to attend the Boston Convention.' Upon reading these few emphatio words, I paused a c id-reread the letter of, invita tion whioh had been addressed to you, - to discover if I had not, in my hasty perusal thereof, misunderstood its import and ob ject. I beg to quote its words : 'My Lord—A number of young men; earnestly desirous of devoting themselves to , the , work of eradicating slavery in the United States, respectfully invite you to meet them in a , public Convention, to be held in this city on Monday the Sd day of De ember. * * . * * * It seems to them that the anniversary of the death of John Brciwn; who was killed for attempting to ileoide this problem in the mode that he befieied to he the moat efficient, is an 'Occasion peculiarly appropriate for .the discussion of our duty to the race for whom he suffered. * It would be a work of supererogation now to defend John Brown, and a useless waste of time to , eulogise him. Leaving both these duties to the coming ages, let us seek to continue his life by striving.to accomplish what he left us to finish.' It is true, my Lord, that you modified somewhat the' only legitimate interpreta tion of your first emphatic endorsement. True, as g the representative of the anti slavery party in England,' yon avowed a wide difference of opinion between those yon represented and the promoters of the Harper's Ferry expedition. True, you denied that John Brown was a real mar tyr. True, you declared your opposition to encouragement of negro insurrection, because they might prove less hurtful to the master than the slave' True, you intimated that the surest means of accom plishing your cherished schemes of Ameri ean negro emancipation was under the form of law, through the instrumentality of a recent political change in the Government of the Republic ! But prominent above all other considerations which are suggest ed by a perusal of your letter, stands forth the declaration that yon 'feel honored by the invitation to attend the Boston Con vention !' What a spectacle is here presented, and how fruitful a theme for reflection ! An English nobleman shaking hands across the ocean, and transmitting pleasant mes sages to such an assemblage convened for such a purpose! Do you believe they will fail to infer that while yon disclaim sympathy with John Brown's Oans of emancipation, because they are less likely to result in Injury to the master than the slave,' you will, nevertheless, regard it as an honor to be invited to attend the celebrations consequent upon' the death of martyrs' in the same cause ? Do you excuse yourself, my Lord, with the thought that it is only the assassins of slave-holders in Ameritia, who are worthy to be treated with so much kindness, respect and forbearance ? Have you forgotten from whom, and under whose auspices, American slaves were acquired as chattels ? May Ibe pardoned for say ing that in the family of the writer there is a slave, bought and paid for by my an cester from a British subject in a British province, under the solemn sanction and approval of British laws ; and who is now held as a slave under the guarantee of a British title-deed ? Should another John Brown, under pretext of giving freedom to this slave, slay the owner thereof, and for his crime suffer a felon's death, would your Lordship feel honored by an invitation to attend the anniversary celebration of his martyrdom Your Lordship has al ready answered the interrogatory in the affirmative. .If a British nobleman, of, such world wide reputation for statesmanship and philanthropy as your Lordship, endeavors to instil into the public mind the belief that it is a real honor for an honorable man to be invited to join in rendering homage to the virtues, and moral worth, and the philanthropic services of an ad mitted midnight assassin, whose only virtue, or worth, or service in the cause of humanity, whose only claim to distinction above other cut-throats, beyond that notoriety which always attaches to the most revolting murdrers, consists in the fact that he killed ostensibly in the cause of the so-called great humanitarian anti slavery movement of the age, you need not be surprised, my Lord, if others, who have real or imaginary wrongs to redress, may, while rejecting your peculiar idios yncracy, accept this as a means of redress. There are those who from the depths of their bleeding hearts, and for the redress of grievous wrongs which they themselves have suffered at the hands of their own race, would feel and say, cif this be a real honor which a British nobleman may covet, how much more honorable to be invited to participate in a saturnalia of nobler blood !' May heaven grant that neither your Lordship nor another may ever again be called upon to acknowledge the honor of an invitation to join in the celebration of knob a feast! Perhaps, though, your Lordship's visions of the future Republic may prove delusive ! Perhaps your own unguarded words, writ ten in the flush of an anticipated but not fully accomplished victory, may of them selves induce a momentary pause in the mad career which you and your associates have inaugurated. Perhaps, when they read your Lordship's letter, „ a burning thought of days long past, when, as a baud of brothers, their fathers by their bloody valor, conquered liberty from their hostile invaders, may penetrate their hearts. Perhaps the retrospect may re inaugurate once more that feeling of fraternity which animated their ancestors in the days that tried men's souls.' Or, if they cannot agree to live together as brothers in one family, that they will, in memory of a glorious past with all its heart-thrilling associations, in memory of the blood of their sires, mingled together upon many a hard ought battle-field, consent at least to part as friends ! The end may not be yet, my Lord ! Out of the clouds may emerge a sun, more re splendent than even that which seems to you now to be setting in a starless night. You, perhaps, imagine that in a very brief period the nation which Great Britain failed to conquer with her mighty sword, even in the dawn of its .infant existence, will have fallen an easy victim to that subtle policy by which you and your colaborers have endeavored to arm its citizens in, a fratricidal war. If the merit of a deed may be measured by its success, I grant that your Lordship, as the representative of British policy, may beak that you are upon the point of achieving a greater triumph by the subtle arts of diplomacy than has ever been won by British arms, during along and brilliant and bloody career. Yon 'delude yourself, my Lord, if you believe - that all - the c Mends of America,' and of the c share your 4- sentiment "of joy upon the "occasion you celebrate.. lffillions of the ilown trodden the oppressed of other crimes now mourn over the peril which:. menaces the overthrow of c the great Republic;' without knowing, or caring to comprehend; the domestic questions which ::have; produce& the danger. Dmingeighty,:five years it has been a beacon 6rhopp to the weary laden, and should its brightness be quenched by that dark and clouded night upon whose gloomy and fitful shadows we may even. this moment be gazing, believe not, my . Lord; that the announcement of the eaten-, trophe will be a message of joy to the hearts of c all the friends of the human race !' No, my Lord. You may or may not represent the sentiments of the high and noble order to which you belong. I would" fain hope that - you do not ; but yon do not express the sentiments of the million ! If your Lordship really believes that all friends of the human race' are rejoiced at the overthrow of that political organization which, commencing with Washington, has been perpetual in power to the present day, descend a little, 1 pray you, from your elevated position in the social scale, and seek enlightenment from those whom you may encounter. Ask the wandering exile from his native land who, for the crime of seeking freedom from the thraldom of despotism, has been doomed to revisit the home of his childhood no more forever, if he rejoices at an event which threatens to extinguish the bright ness of that light, the contemplation of which has been to him and to his fellow sufferers a thing of joy, of life and hope, in the gloomiest moments of his &upon dency ! HOW TO irRIRP A HOTEL A man may be a first-rate fellow,as Mat Peel used to . say, and ,yet not ow how to keep a hotel. If ability in hotel keeping be a test of a good fellow, there is one man for whom we can certainly vouch as all sorts of a good fellow. He keeps 1. hotel, or country tavern, if you will, away up in the interior of Arkansas somewhere. The way we happened to hear of him was this : Several weeks ago, two well known gen tlemen of this city went travelling for the benefit of their health, and concluded to try the famous Hot Springs of old G Rack_ ensaok.' There being neither river, rail road or canal to take a body to the Springs our travellers hired• horses at their desti nation. They unluckily did not follow the right road, or else there was no right road to follow ; at any rate they got lost, and after a fatiguing day's ride through a barren and inhospitable wilderness, they came. to a neat little building standing alone in the woods, with farming appendages around. Our travellers halted and hallooed. A great tall, raw-boned giant of a fellow stepped out. , Can we get lodgings here to night V asked one of the horsemen. Well gentlemen, I reokin you kin,' said the big one, and welkim to boot. This is a hotel.' The travellers, although they did not like the cut of the landlord's jib,dismount ed, were relieved of their horses, andmere soon regaling themselves over a good country supper of corn dodgers, bacon, milk, fried chickens and coffee. It was a regular country supper, but with their whetted appetites our invalids enjoyed it amazingly. After supper the gigantic landlord sat on the porch with them, talking, laughing, cracking jokes, and treating occasionally to some good old rye, of which he appeared to have a plentiful stock. The invalids set him down for a regular brick,' and were still better pleased when lighted at last to nice soft feather beds, with the whitest and sweetest of sheets. Next morning oar travellers were aroused by their ugly but affable landlord, and regaled with a breakfast, if possible, more appetizing than the last night's sup per had been. The horses were brought around, and it was evident that they too had been well cared for. One of the travellers pulled out his wallet, and said to the big enter tainer : Well, landlord, you keep a first rate little hotel out here ; better than we ex pected to find. We are much pleased with it, and now we want to know what the damage is.' The landlord drew himself up, and put ting on a very solemn look, said, 'Gentle men, I'm pleased to hear yer satisfied. The bill is two hundred and seventy-five dollars.' How much did you say, sir asked the travellers, both startled. The big one, drawing himself up a little higher, and looking still more solemn, replied, distinctly and emphatically, 'Two hundred and seventy-five dollars, gentle men.' c Do I hear you right, sir ? do you really mean to charge us two hundred and seventy-five dollars for two meals and lodging and horse feed c Gentlemen,' said the landlord, with the utmost alarming sang froid, c that's no mistake. Two hundred and seventy five dollars is the bill. The invalids got soared. They did not feel strong enough to fight; and if they had, could never have hoped to make any thing out of the ungainly giant who stood so composed before them. Without say ing another word, the traveller with the wallet squee7ed it and peeled its different pockets, and succeeded in handing over the full amount required. The landlord thanked his guests politely, and hoped if they should ever pass that way again, that they wauld give hiin a call. The travellers were now on their horses, and prepared, like the famous cavaliers in James' novels, to resume their solitary ride. Before getting off, however, the traveller who had to disgorge, turned in his saddle and hailed the landlord 'I say, landlord, he shouted, before I go, I'd just like to ask you one question —a civil questionwhich you can't take offence at.' Fire ahead, gentlemen; was the answer; .' ye've paid yer bill, and yer welkim to ask any thin', without offence.' 4 Well, how in the name of heaven did you come to charge us two hundred and seventy-five dollars for one night's accom modation, not worth more than five or _air. dollars at the outside Certainly, gentlemen, I'll tell yer and Yer see I keep a hotel and eometimosl lute endow= and eonietiines I hasn't. When Ihun't, I has to olwge arieordin', and ; as iouare:iha . iners,Pve had well.ulg . kon.toi a years Yer bill was Jittle_bigger thari it, input have betinptherwise.' The hotel has to be kep' up gentlemen,.and when customers is scarce, I his' to charge aooordia .' Gr.rod Morning; landlord,' said both the travellers, and they rode off'sitis6d. - They didn-'t go to the Springs, hewever. They toolr the back track for the river, and returned. to:the city for more money, the big hotel keeper.-having pretty welioleaned them out. • Re-supplied with funds, they are now off to the Virginia Springs, being unwilling to trust themselves again among the hotels of the Arkansas interior.
