received impressions of wisdotia awl patriotism that

parable loss, three years ago, he continued, with
sorrow and affectionate admiration, MIAs final day,
profoundly to deplore. One daughter (Mrs: Lee,

Mr. Custis was distinguished by an original
genius for eloquence, poetry, and the lino arts; by
a knowledge of history, particularly the history of
this dohntry,; for great powers of conversation, for
an ever-ready and generous hospitality, for kind;
ness to the poor, for patriotism, for constancy of,
friendship, and for a more than filial devotion to'

Their Onstomere, who have allowed largo sums
of money to remain a l.Mg time In' their custody,
and to bus lent by them on at least legal interest,
and without eoropensotion to its owners, are sur

them, and to lend money in vast amount, and to
any persons who are supposed to be wealthy and
influential; for the purpose of speculation, while
those directors, presidents, and ,cashiers refuse to

The only, or the principal, objects of banks should
he to receive money on deposit, or in payment of
stook shares—paying a moderate interest on de
posits; to keep those deposits safely for their real
owners, or to lend them to proper Persona, on proper
security to return them when required; to pay
dividends or interest on stock shares, when the real
profits of, the banking business justify the payment
of dividends ; to issue notes, in renteonable and jest
proportion to the amount of 'their actual specie
capital ; and to lend to persons engaged in real
business, or possessed of real pecuniary resources,
amounts of money proportioned to their ability to
return them, and to the extent and emoluments of
that business. There should be, among the direct
ors, no ambitious speculators. The directors, or
other ofileers, should not be allowed to divide
wrong them and their partisans arid' friends Un

Oen we ever set value to the corn harvest, or
limit' its capacity for the wants of our man and
cattle? The treasury of its kernels ROMs inex
haustible, It grows in almost every clime; in all
places it may be seen in its season, its green spiral
form towering above all grain, who bow reverently
their 'tender heads, in seeming submission to its
greatness. When it is gathered, besides its worth,
the farmer' socially contemplates its value in the
bookings, in the old familiar barn, with the lan
tern extended from the rugged beam overhead, and
the small mountain of husks to be cleared away,
to make room for the lively dance or play of
pawns. Alas for the unsuspooting maiden who
gets a twin ear—for many aro the kisses taken for
the penalty. Sharp are the eyes that watch the
girls, as they Sit with a basket of corn, and a young
man between them, ready to give the word, and
then pounce on the peer creatures with a shower
of kisses. Long live busking frolics, and may no
winked inventor ever find the secret of a manure
for taking off the husks ! May it be as far as the
discovery of the philosopher's atone, for should this
ever happen, why, a social basking will he " a tale
that is told " Even now, we must travel West
a bit for a genuine specimen of ono, so fast does
the hand of trade clutch everything that is primi

But, oh! what a wandering from fashionables,
ribbons, end silk! What an episode of corn and
pumpkins! Doubtless, all the pigs and chickens

bristle or a feather eir my effort in their behalf.
But, jesting aside, we find it still beautiful in this
land of milk and butter,.and have been amusing
ourselves lately in trying the mettle of some In
dian ponies in very break-neck fashion, to the con
sternation of all timid mortals about here, who
momentarily expected our demise. In fact, wo
have some real natives up in the mountains, whose
hospitality in the euccatosh way is undeniable.
Last week they had a general pow-wow, previous
to the departure of their many friends to the city
for the winter. Not exactly sin sauvagn ono, how

looked at it, for the dance and sociable chat. Our
white faces made a great contract to the ruddy hue
of the host and hostess, whose dignified manners
any one might envy. The sister donned the cos-
Untie o la Indiati for our benefit, and very pietu
resque.and handsome she looked. Any white man
could have been forgiven, did ho forego his tribe
for her sake.

among a very intellectual and polite class of per

THE BOX-TUNNEL---A; FACT.
A NEW STORY BY CHARLES BEADY
The 10.15 train glided from Paddington,
May 7, 1847. In the left compartment of a
certain cant-class carriage were four pas
sengers; of these, two were worth descrip
tion. The lady had a smooth, white, delicate
brow, strongly-marked eyebrows; Icing lashes,
eyes that seemed to change color, and a good.
sized delicious mouth, with teeth as white as
milk. A man could not see her nose for - her
eyes and mouth; her own. sex could and
would have told us some nonsense about it.-
She wore an unpretending grayiali,dress, but.
toned tattle throat, with . lozenge-shaped but=
.tons, and a Scotch shawl that agreeably evaded
the responsibility of. color. She was like a
duck—so tight her plain feathei73 fitted her;
and there she sat, smooth, snug, and delicious,
;with a book in her hand, and a soupcon of her
snowy wrist just visible as she held it.
Her opposite neighbor was what I call a
good style of man—the more to his credit,
since he belonged to a corporation that fre
quently. tarns out the worst imaginable style
of young men. He was a cavalry offices,aged
twenty-live. He had a moustache, but- not a
very repulsive One not one of these sub-nasal
pig-talls, on which soul is suspended like dew
on a shrub ; it was short, thick, and black as
coal. His teeth had not yetbeen turned by to,
bacco smoke to the color of , tobacco juice, his
clothes did hot stick to•nortang en him„-they
sat on ge,hadosiwralfillee l V,
what I liked ilia dekfor,'his vanity, which was
inordinate, was in his proper place, his hearty , -
not in his face, jostling mine and other peo
ple's, whic have none ; in a word, he was
what oftener. hears of then meets, a young
gentleman. He was conversing in an animated
whisper with a companion, a fellow-ofticer—
they were talking about, what it is far better
not to do, women. Our friend clearly did not
wish to be overheard,for lie cast,ever and anon,
a thrtive glance at his fair ris-a-eis and low
ered his voice. She seemed completely ab
sorbed iq her book, and that reassured him.
At last the two soldiers came down to a whis
per, and in that whisper (the truth must be
told) the one who got down at Slough, and
was lost to posterity, bet ten pounds to three,
that he who was going with us to Bath :414 im
mortality would not kiss either of the ladies op
posite upon the road. "Done !" cc Done !"
Now I am sorry a man I have hitherto praised
should have lent himself, even in a whisper, to
such a speculation ; but " nobody is wise at all
hours," not even when the clock is striking
five-and-twenty ; and you are to consider his
profession, his good looks, and the tempta
tion—ten to three.
After Slough the party was reduced to
three ; at Twyford one lady dropped her hand
kerchief: Captain Dolignan fell on it like a tiger
and• returned to it like a lamb ; two or three,
words were interchanged on'-that . occasion.,
At Reading the Marlborough of - our tali. made•
one of the safe investments of that day; he,
bought a Times and a Punch ; the latter,
was full of steel-pen thrusts and wood-cuts..
Valor and beauty deigned to laugh at some in.'
fisted humbug or other punctured by Punch.
Now laughing together thaws our human ice;
long before Swindon it was a talking match—
at Swindon, who•so devoted as Captain Dolig
nan—he handed there ont--he souped them—
he tough-chickened them—he brandied and
cochinealed one, and he brandied and burnt
sugared the other; on their return to their
carriage, one lady passed into the inner corn
partment to inspect a certain gentleman's seat
on that side the line.
Reader, had it been you or I, the beauty
would have stayed with us till all was blue,
ourselves included ; not more surely does our
slice of bread and butter, when it escapes from
our hand, revolve it ever so often, alight face
downwards on the carpet. But this was a bit
of a fob, Adonis, dragoon—so Venus remained
tete-a-tete with him. You have seen a dog
meet an unknown female of his species; how
handsome, how
.empresse, how expressive he
becomes; such was Dolignau after Swindon,
and to do the dog justice he got handsomer
and handsomer; and you have seen a cat con
scious of approaching cream, such was Miss
Haythorn ; she became demurer and demurer.
Presently our captain looked out ot the window
andlaughed ; this elicited an inquiring look
from Miss Haythorn. “We are only a mile from
the Box Tunnel."
"Do you always laugh a mile from the Box
Tunnel 1" inquired the lady.
" Invariably."
"What for 1"
"Why, hem! it's a gentleman's joke."
"Oh! I don't mind it's being silly if it makes
me laugh."
Captain Dolignan, thus encouraged, re
counted to Miss Haythona the following: A
lady and bar husband sat together going
through the Box Tunnel. Thero was ono gen
tleman opposite,
and it was pitch dark. After
the tunnel had been passed through, the lady
said: " George, how absurd of you to salute
mo going through- the tunnel !" "I did no
such thing!" " You didn't 7" "No !
why /". " Why, because somehow I thought
you did 1"
Hero Captain Dolignan laughed, and en
deavored to lead his companion to laugh, but
it was not to be done.
The train entered the tunnel.
Miss Haythorn. "Ah
Dolignan. " What is the matter?"
Miss Haythorn. "I am frightened."
Dolignan, (moving to her side,) " Pray do
not be alarmed, I am near you.".
Miss Haythorn. .g You . are near me, very
near me indeed, Captain Dolignan."
Dolignan. "You know my name I"
Miss Haythorn. 4 1 I heard yourfriend men
tion it. I wish we were out of this dark
place."
Dolignan. "I could be content to spend
hours here, reassuring you, sweet lady."
Miss Haythorn. " Nonsense."
Dolignan. Pweep I
(Grave reader, do not put your lips to the
cheek of the next pretty girl you meet or you
will understand what this means.)
Miss Haythorn. "Eel Eel Oh I"
Friend. "What's the matter, dear ?"
Miss Haythorn. ".Open thetloor ! open the
door!"
There was a sound of hurried whispers, the
door was shut, and the blind pulled down
with hostile sharpness.'
If any critic fails on me for putting inar
ticulate sounds in a dialogue as above, I
answer with all the insolence I can command
at present, "Hit bays 113 big as yourself,"
bigger, perhaps, such as Sophocles, Euri
pides, and Aristopbines ; they began it, and I
learned it of them, sore against my will.
Miss Haythorn'a scream lost a part of its
effect because the engine whistled forty thou-

him ; it .was clear she never would see

Whist ugliness, his ~impertinence.

he felt that somehow the :rights of property
.were invaded. He went home and dreamed of
'Miss Haythorn, and hated all the ugly success
ful. He spent a fortnight trying to 'dud Out
who this beauty was—he never could' eneoun-i

way : a lawyer's 'clerk paid him a little visit,
and conimenced.a little action against him, us
the name of Miss Haythorn, for insulting'her
in a railway train.- "
The young gentleman was shocked; ettdeai
ored to soften the lawyer'sclerk; thatraschine
did not thoroughly comprehend.the meaning
of the term. ,The,lady's name, however, was at
least revealed by this untpward accident; from
her name to her address was but a Aloft step-,

For all this pile walked and walked, till all the

her culprit summoned resektioli ' and taking
off his hat, With'a voice tremulons,fdr the first
ime besought permission to address her,. '
She stopped, blushed, and neither acknow-
ledged nor disowned his acquaintance. He
blushed, stammered out how ashamed he was,
how he deserved to be punished, - how he Weil
punished, how -little she knurl:tow unkappy
he was; and concluded by begging her not to
let all the world know the disgrace of a man
who was already mortified enough by the loss
of her . acquaintance. She asked an explana- -
tion. He told her of the 'action that had been
commenced in her 'name. She gently shrugged
her shoulders, and said, Row stupid- they
are I" Emboldened by this, he begged to
know whether or not a life of distant unpre
tending devotioh would, after a lapse of
years, erase the memory of his madness—his

" She did not know I"
"She inuat , now bid hint adieu, as she had
some preparstions to make for s hall in the
crescent, tyhere everybody uiat, to be. They
parted, and Dolignan determined' to - be.st the
ball where everybod# was to HeWaithere,
and after somt-time be obtained an batroduttion
to. Miss Haythorn, and he danced with her.- Her
manner was gracious. , With *wonderful tact
of her sex, she, seemed to hive commenced the
acquaintance that evening. That night; forthe
first time, Dolignan was in love. I will spare
the reader all-a lover's arts, by which he suc
ceeded in dining where she dined, in dancing
where she danced, in overtaking. her by acci
dent when she rode. His devotion followed
her even to church, where our dragoon was re
warded by learning there isa world where they
neither polk nor smoke—the two capital abomi
nations of this one.
He made acquaintance with her uncle, who
liked him, and he saw at last, with joy, that her
eye loved. to dwell upon him when she thought
he did not observe her. '
It was 'three month, lla the Box Tunnel
that Captain Dolignan called one day upon
Captain Ilaytliorn, R.N., whom he had met
twice In his life, and slightly propitiated by
violently listening to a cutting-out expedition ;
he called, and, in the usual way, asked permis
sion to pay his addresses telfis dabghter. The
worthy Captain straightway began doing Quar
ter Deck, when suddenly he was summoned
from the apartment by a mysterious message.
On his return he announced,tvith a total change
of voice, that "It was all right, and his visiter
might run alongside as soon as he chose."
My reader has divined the, truth; this nau
tical commander, terrible to the foe, was in
complete and happy subjugation to his daugh
ter, our heroine.
As he was taking leave, Dolignsu saw his
divinity glide into the drawing-room. - He fol
lowed her, observed a sweet consciousness that
encouraged him; that consciousness deepened
into confusion: she tried to laugh; she cried
instead, and then she smiled again ; and when
be kissed her hand at the door, it was
" George" and "Marian," instead of Captain
this and Miss the other. A reasonable time
after this, (for my tale is merciftd, and skips
formalities and torturing delays,) these two
were very happy; they were once more upon
the railroad, going to enjoy their honeymoon
all by themselves. - Marian Dolignan was
dressed just as before, duck like and delicious,
all bright except her clothes; but George sat
beside her this time instead of opposite, and
she drank him in gently from under her long
eye-lashes. Marian," said George, "mar
ried people should tell each other all. Will
you ever forgive use if I own to you—no--"
"Yes! yes ! "
, g Well, then! you remember the Box Tun
nel ?" (this was the first allusion be hattven
tured to it.) lam ashamed to say I had bet
£3 to £lO with White I would kiss one of you
two lathes," and George, pathetic externally,
chuckled within.
"I know that, George; I overheard yea ; "
was the demure reply.
"Oh!you overheard me 7 impossible."
"And did you not hear me whisper to my
companion ? I made a bet with her."
"You made a bet ? how singular! What
was it ?"
"Only a pair of gloves, George."
" Yes. I know, but what about it 7 "
" That if you did you should be my husband,
dearest."
" Oh! but stay; then you could not have
been so very angry with me, love. Why, dear
est, then who brought that action against
me ? "
Mrs. Dolignan looked down.
"I was afraid you was forgetting ne !"
" Sweet angel why here is the Box Tun
nel !"
Now reader—fie! no! no such thing! You
can't expect to be indulged in this way every
time you come toil dark place; besides, it is
not the thing. Consider, two sensible mar
ried people; no such phenomenon, I assure
you, took place. No scream rued in hope
less rivalry of the engine—ibis time !
