At Buffalo, our travellers took the of ernoon boat
for Chippewa. It was a bright led breezy day,
fiord, its frity-.arester, earth and sky were ht up
gloriiirnaly by the declining sun, as they swept
dawn that broad, immortal river. A. the brother
and sister stied on deck, silently drinking in the
rare beat tly of the Wene and beer, they noticed a
eery near them, distkurirished amid sill the crowd,
by a certain elegance of dress mod inariner, with a
bearing of perhaps unconseious superiority. This
was a family parts, slid consisted of an elderly
gentleman, Mr. Harley, a week banker, and an
honorable citizen of New York—his wife, a sweet
motherly looking woman=and their daughter,
Juliet, a fair and delicate git Let eighteen, and their
only son, Master Fred, a lad of nine or tea
, Ashley was a thorough republican—proud and
poor; :and being now more than usually inclined
to coldness and reserve, instinctively shrunk from
all contact with this party, in whom he at once re
cognized the air patrician and exclusive. Bat to-
wards evening, Mr. Harley made some courteous
advances, and finally succeeded in getting up quite
a free and animated conversation with his young
fellow traveler, with whose well-bred air and
thonghtfal countenance he bad been attracted and
impressed. They discoursed on the magnificent
scenery around them, then on the battles' and
sieges, bold generalship and grand fighting which
had made classic ground of the wild Niagara fron
tier; and Ashley, who was an admirable talker,
soon became earnest and eten eloquent, in spite of
himself, AU et once, in . , Woking, op, he in* the
, beautiful blue eyes of Miss Juliet fixed upon him '
with erident interest and admiration. The young I
' lady dropped her gaze, instantly, while a deep !
blush sawed her bright, ingenuous face. An in-
voluntary thrill of pietist:lre- agitated the heart of
itildey, end his cold eye kindled with a new the;
but as thought teturned-;- - the thought of all the
fickleness and coquetry, and headlessness of wo
-1 man. his brow cleated, he bit his lip, and with a
'friar hasty words, lomat abruptly, and drawing his
sister's arm within his own, walked to the side of
the vsel, and there stood . silently and moodily,
gazing down into the darkening waters and oft into
the .deepening twilight
Owing to frnne detention, the boat, was later titan
'usual, so that it was quite dark when they landed
at Chippewa. On leaving the boat, Mr. Ashley
and his sister found themselvei directly behind the
putt el& whom they had beet cal i verring. Mr.
Harley looked mond and seeing them, began mak
ing some inquiries respecting the hotel of which
they had mode ebolce, witeti Master Fred, who,
m hii boyish independence, was walking ahme,
suddenly stumbled and fell—fell from the board
plank, over which they were passing, intothe river
below. There were wreamt, Intl roshingt to and

breaking from the clinker bold el his sister, leaped
bohlly into the deep, dark water. Fora few toe-

self upon ba bed, antialept soundly till low in the
morning; then rose with a headache, medals light
breakfast, and hurried down tti Table Rock with
his sister, who had been' up since daybreak, im
patiently awaiting his appearance.
Ashley was long lost in that first -contemplation
of the grand scene before him ; his soul seemed
boon to a new life—a- new world of beauty, and
power, andidreed, and overwhelming sublimity.
The day was woodrously beautiful. and floods
of sunlight were mingled with the Waters, and
pouring over that stopendise precipice; into the
darkest depths fell the fearless, glad sunbeams,
scionifing, like golden plummets, those terrible
abysses. These bong the rainbow, and Ellen, as
she gazid, remarked a wild bird, who• seemed
sporting in the Imlay, pass aweigh the illonsinated
arch, an become glorified in its midst : and it
seemed to her like en innocent eonfiding spirit,
coming neer to the might and grandeur of Deity,
through the beautiful gateway of love.
Ashley was at length roassiLkina his to me of
high-wrought rapture; by feeling a small, timid
hand laid on his arm, and' aimed to see Master
Fred standing at his side, with a faint glow on his
cheek, and-an affectionate pleasure shining in his

BM Mill was no time for more than a gin* re c.

The setting of the dislocated joint caused Ibis

Yet when all was over—the ankle bound up,
and a composirg drawl* administered, as the doc

her cheek one deathly pale ; and that her lips quiv.

A TRANSLATION ON A COOI3II, TARIM TOR CIIII.DIIIOI.
A htzstumdettau brought home five peaches, the
finest that were ever seen. Its children eaw the
fruit for the Gist time. On that account they were
amazed, and rejoiced shell they saw the bearni:
ful apples with rosy cheeks and soft down. The
father divided them among his four children, and
also gave one to the mother. -
In the evening when the eh:Jaren were retiring
to their chamber, the hither said, "well, how dal
those fine apples taster.
" Delicious, lovely, father," said the elder. .r.les
a hue fruit, somewhat acid, and yet of so mad a
flavor. I have carefully preserved my stone, and
intend to gum a tree from it."

husbandman."

upon the investigation whist full belief that it was
all a - humbug, and that therstemminee eresol see

every one to leave the table. They all did se,-nod
while no onr stood within Fix feet of it. at Ids re
quest the table was moved around as if by inept
hands. He said it rapped for him to ask remitter,
'which at first he declined doing, bet it insulted, and
he finally consented. The thought struck him that
he coaki perhaps catch them by s trick. So he
thought of the name of a young lady who formerly
lived with him, but who bad been dead forlevend
years. He asked if the spirit would rap on Ibis
leitehine, the.point of his pencil upon the raises-he
was then thinking of, providing he would write
down ten names, and that among the ten. It re
plied it would. He wrote down ten names, but
omitted to write the name of the Term lady be was
thinking of. He elinmencetf_ ind went through
the process of pointing to each one of the tee names,
and with the confident expectation of its rapping at
least at the math, but no
,rap came. , ! All appeared
asicmished, bat he could get no regimen either of
the ten. He then added two mo, end one was
the name of the young lady, and * .quick as be

(mentally, I think.) to spell out the name he
thought of; and itspelled out the name of the young

day. a thing be could not do himselc and did not
know its convenient until be had,returned home
anti made inquiry. He says n also promised m rap
at his house Hid it did so. Upon this pointhe said
he was positive. I will now leave Mr ----, and
take up the case of Mr. Jarvis, a Methodist clera . -
man residing in this place. A few evenings sinee, •
Mc J. and his :rife retired early. and while in bed
had a conversation upon the subject of slavery,
Mr. J. remarked he was sorry that Sir. J. Q Adams
was not livint4 as he thought his influence in Con
gress would be -retry bene fi cial at this critical Mo
ment, and added he had no doubt his spirit was •
there, taking a deep interest in the question, and
influencing the minds of members. At that mo
ment there came a rapping upon the bed clothing
threedy over his 'breast He toked Ins wife if silo
heard it and she replied she did not, but the tap
ping came again and strut and the bean d it dis
tinctly. They then as ked e if it was the spirit of
Jobe Q. Adams, and the reply Was that it was not.
He their felt it take hold of Iris arm underneath• the
clothing,- and repeatedly premed gently upon it, as
between the thumb and fingers. : That evening be
was invited to Sqire Draper's : where the Misses
Fos were fo spend the evening. He went there,
and while there the lady of the Rev. Dr. Lockett
tidied with her son-in-law. She had expressed
her decided disbelief in the matter,
..yet had a curi
osity to hear the .lt.finyateriocat rapping." Matteis
being arranged, thb spirits were called for t , and
among other things there came a spirit and told
Mit Jervis to. " tell mether that tbecommmiiestions
You and she had this morning were hem Nancy."
Mr. J. had lost a damliter of Misname a few years
since. So much for Mr. Jarvis' revelations. While
I was at your place. the glib came to the Waver
ly, and succeeded in making a strong impression
on the minds of some with Whom I have ettivers
et:lolmi there was no trick in the matter. - A Mr.
Sammerfield came with Judge Hatter-11 from Troy,
