The following I, we believe, ft somewhat

we tako Hie liberty of laying it before our

smiles
"I know not what extraordinary conjunction
of tho stars took place on the firpt I ri.Uy of

camo to perform so many antics, in or ot:t of
its proper sphere. Huloro that, tiny, 1 had
never had an adventure in my life ; the cur
rent of my existence; had flowed as evenly and
quietly as the btream of a mill pond ; and no
wit or oki! of author-craft could lisvo spun
out my biography riejond the compass of a
tinirlu twoi'i'iiph.' 1 wan bom, and I lived
for twetity-iivo years that i all : I lived
it) a village, too unci my numo was (as it now
i.) James J. Smith. Thoro was nothing fur
ther it) my hintory worthy of being mention
ed j escept that, ut twenty-fivo years old,
fin. lino; myself unincumbered by any near rel
atives, and possessed of n Moderate estate,
euflicient fur all my reaFotmble wants, (mid 1
had mi unreasonable ones,! 1 beun to bo
weary of my rather dull and lonely esistence,
and east about for some means of relief. J
was baluueing between two preut projects,
ouo of travel, the other of matrimony ; both
iudeud, in u very general way, for I was Dot
in lovo xitli uuybudy, or particular place ;
when la letter from my old collet,'' mate and
cotreHpondeut, Hurry Htown, of Virginia, de
termined niu in favor of the former. Ho was
fui'minir a family party h.t invited me to join
in Philadelphia, wbert! be expected to in rive
tit an curly day ; und hy promised to tiring
along with luui a very ctiariniug uumarrie.l
coudiu of lii who niiflit, pel hups, he auid, as
bil mu iu trying thu othur project aa aoon as
I got liivj ol" traveling, ptovided osly that
I hud the spirit (and it reuirerj great rpiril)
to woo and w:ti Lvt ; all of which I regarded
au a friendly plearinlry u the part of my old
chain.
1 went accordingly to riii!a.le!;iliiu, and at
Harry's auggtation, took lodgings ut a lash
ionablu boarding Iuhmc, at which h iuteuded
Htoptiiiiy, and tiUri) I 111 deKititd to uwait
hiii..
It was on Fiiday, in tho nflernoott, that I
arrived; ni.d having estal.lii-L.J mvsell' in a
coinloi table chamber, 1 tallied out to ate
somewhat of tie city, and inuiro at the post
oflieu for letters from my friend. 1 received
two U tters, cue from Harry of a somewhat
mysterious ((ilulity ; tbe oilier front m slruu
Her, an.) of a cburucter el ill more eiplicuble ;
both of them written from lialtiuiore. Har
ry itifoi't'.ied I lie that ho was ft) thu way with
his party, and hoped to be in Philadelphia on
the following day ; and he udiled (and this wn
the mysterious part of the letter.; that Lis
aforesaid handsome cousiu as about to be
snatched away from me by a particular total
ity, yet lie tiiu not despair, he aaiu, of my yel
wiunitig her, provided he should immediately
Und me on reaching l'hilakelphia, and find
ae with mettle eutlicient to niideriakva most
formidable, but xplctidid adventure.
Cotiloun.l h.S handsome C. Ue.u ! Said I,
"whom 1 never heard of before, except in his
last letter ; and coufouud his splendid adven
tures : And with that, with the greatest
equanimity, I banished the uiemery of both to
xamint utul wander over toy second letter
from my unkuowu currespondtLt. It was as
follows:
"M v Dkak Hoy :- Shall be in Philadelphia
Friday evening with E , to sign seal,
kiss aud squabble, actotdiiig to compact :
place aforementioned. Shall expect you
rings, po.ies, blushes and hysterics. Always
promised your dud 1 would, ami 1 wi'l.
Xour resolutely, I. H.
This letter was formally directed to James
J. iSuiith, fc;., "post restaute," Philadelphia
was iiiatiilektly writteu id an old niau a baud ;
and as far as 1 could gather any sense fiuiu
its odd aud broken eu.-e, alluded to a lu .rriag
which was in rogre.-s Jout.lltss btlwveu
K , (who aa ahe ?) on thu one part, and
Mr. James J. Smith ou the other. Uut who
was Mr. James J. Smith t Not myself, ir-
taiuly; ho hud never dreamed of marriage,
except us a contingency, aud had uever made
sciioui love or proposals to any human lieiu..
No, it was apparent and tuis a as continued
by the allusion to the 'ufureiueiitiinied place,"
well 'known, of course to the persou writteu to
but not to u.e that there was some other
James J. Smith b.sid.s myself iu the world,
and in Philadelphia, for -kui this letter
was designed, aud to hum it was inauilest
from the terms of it, the loss might prove ex
tremely inconvenient.
Under the circumstances, l perceived I
had nothing to do but return it to the poM
ollice, that it might reach my name.-uke, and
1 was retracing my bteps, lor that purpose,
when I was interrupted by a gentleman, or a
person dressed like a gelitleuiau, but I thought
there was something impleading aud niii.-l,-r
iu his looks, who stepped up to me, and with
a low bow aud grinning smile, toiu me, he
believed he had tha pleasure of addrtssiiig
Mr. James J. MnitQ I
That is certainly my name," said 1, "but"
"You havn't the honor of my svnuain-
tance!" interrupt. .! the gentleman. "Exact
ly so, but 1 have thu pleasure of producing my
note of introduction."
And with that, the fellow clapping one hand
on my shoulder iu a very impudent (amilliar
way displayed uuder my uose, not a note ol
introduction but a note of hand for some sev
enteen or eighteen hundred dollars drawn in
favor ot Simon somebody, 1 forget who, aud
signed plaj nly aod itieugly wuough, "James
J. Smith"
"All this, my friend," taid I, removing bis
hand from oil my shoulder, "is doubtless good
and lair enough. The difficulty is, that it
coucerns some other James J. Smith, und not
me ; lor 1 never wrote that note, nor indeed,
any other. Yon have made a mistake."
Very facetious," said the person. "1
thould inform yon, sir, that poor Simon being
iu difficulty, was under the necessity of part
ing with that little note to me, sir ; and 1 paid
him a fuir price for it, sir, because it was a
debt of honor, sir," here the rascal looked as
if he meant to imiiress me.with an awlul secso
of his courage aud determination : "a debt of
honor, sir, 1 never find and diflicu'.ty in col
letting." "Tho deuce take you ami your debt of ho
nor," said 1, waxing impatient. "1 tell yon,
sir" but my goutleuiau interrupted uie
again.
"No occasion to swear, my dear fellow, I
don't intend to trouble you "just now.' 1
know whut brings you to town here j a xitow
old Tutty is coming, If he has not come al
ready, aud tbe rich youiig lady with Lim.
The letter, air, that you jutt received sir.'
Ilera the fellow bnrct Info a laugh nt tbe look
of amazement I put on, Emlinat him so fumil
liar with the myftorions epistle ; and added
somewhat contemptuously,, "1 did rot thiuk
Jir. dames .'mith suck a spoonv. u to
.....ucb si',V,l,o. pi.". o-ouo'-xy. to I
(Tire, the the Jf, . !ithe benefit of r.t;.o.1f'.'rrrf
leuera oTcr rus nnouiuers in tne streeti I'
the street I In short, sir, as I said, 1 don't in
tend to troublo yon just now, nor to be gam
moned hereafter. I shall wait, sir, untM the
liHppy hour is over ; mid then, sir, hnmbly
clnim to renew the note, sir! till when, your
obedient servant to command, sir !"
With that my gentleman bowed aid stalk
ed off", stroking bis whiskers with an air of
uouileraJlo magnilitenco which 1 have not
seen equalled by any bluckleg.
This little incident, besides moving some
what my choler, tpiite changed my resolution
of restoring the letter to the post-office nnri
thereby to my namesake. It seemed row
apparent that my "alterejro" was some r.t.i
cally adventurer, the fellow, as well as prey,
of him who bore the note in band ; and it ap.
peared, therefore, impossible thnt such a fel
low could pretend, in any honest way, to the
hand of the rich ' vonnir ladv ." referred to bv
tbe note-holder, and doubtless the fair E ,
of tho letter. I felt that I shonld pnni-h, if
not defeat, the schemes of a rogue, and ter
haps protect a deserving girl and a deceived
parent, by keeping Mr. T. 15 's letter in
my pocket, and into my pocket accordingly
I thrust it. At. all events, the inception ,f
ltm !.. l.l .a ,.
... i.e. .mini prociure a oemy ; ar.u uviay
might effect the desired ptirpos-.
1 spent the remainder of the ai'.ernnon
rambling about the city, viewing it. ar.-l. as I
thought to the last moment, without farther
adventure. Hut just as 1 was hunting y
way back to my boarding honse to tea. I w-as
stopped by a s.iarp but rather timid-lr v'.Vg
eiuppeci i.y a s.iarp but rather timnl-lrv. f g
young fellow, who begged my pardon, hel-nv-
ed I was Mr. James J Smith, reminded rr j
that 1 owed a very long bill to his employers,
Mesfr?. Snip Shears, hinted that thev had
written to me two or three tiling oa thi sub
ject, observed that times wera hard, aud cou
eluded by insinuating the pleasure I would
confer upon those geutleu.oo if 1 would be so
good as to walk with hius forthwith, dowa to
their gbop which wm only een;U or 'igbt
6quures CD,
I replied to all this, that he had ndstiikeo
his man ; that I owed Mett.rs. Snip k bhtars
nothing ; aud upoa which he became so alarm
ed ai.d retreated. But I ohMerred him foil, w
ing mo at a distance, and dogging me ail the
way to my boarding-house.
After tea, hnving no acquaintance, in the
city, 1 went into oc cf the theatres to pass
the evening, and passed it, in the main, very
pleasantly. 1 was, indeed one time at.n.'.yed
by the conduct of two Or three Well drerted,
but noisy fellows, in the next box, who, from
their discourse, I soon set down an gamblers
and determined rogues. One of them, who
had red hair, I observed was very genteel in
his appearance, bnt be was an abandoned d-s-perado
in hi conversation ; and from some
remarks tl.t he and his companions let full, 1
was struck with the sudden suspicion that he
was no less a personaee than my woe by
iiames.ike, M r. James J bmith himself. Thus

suckers would give him but two days, he
would hold up bis head again with the best of
them." I tried in vain to catch the fellow's
name ; aud Soon after he had altered the words
related, another young man came into the box
and told bun "there were hawks oa the wing;''
upon whkh he looked alarmed, his compan
ions langlud, aud they all immediately I. ft
the theatre.
I could then at'.eud the performance with
out ii.ttrr.iptior. ; and 1 had been for smite
time observua in the interests of the scene,
when I was suddenly aronsed by a voice whis
pering in my ear "1 say, Mr. jaiues J Smith
this is so place for a gentleman of year in
ches. There are bnztards abroad, who'll
stop all marrying and giving in marainge.
And if you mean to give up that ih slice,
hang me, my flue fellow, if 1 sLuu't ko tl.u

I looked around, aud was enraged t per
ceivo the note holder, who gave me a iigu.fi-
canl cod, aud immediately walked may.
"How provoking," thought I, "to hate all
these vagabonds take me tor .that ras.al, my
namesake, let there is Something aftr all.
in his counsel. It won! i net be agreeible to
bo arrested, even by mistake, since tin ri is no
oue iu this city to whom I can aptstl for
character and identity 'I o-morrow.rorn
will be here, and tbeu I shall le safe t xngh.
These thoughts determined me toles the
theatre and go home. But 1 had seirecly
got tbe distance of a square when I bat the
misfortune to be tapped oa the feboiilibr by
au officer, who told me he had a wr.t U; me
en the suit of Messrs. Kuip A Shears: and
requested me to favor him with my con;. .my
to the magistrate's. At the same t,uie per
ceived tbe tailor's clerk, who had evi.lr.tly
kept me in view and pointed me out t. the
oflicer. It was in vaiu for me to prnte..f.hnt
I was not the man intended ; Mr. C I. ri.ja.,i,
"Uie gentleman was very good on that aliry."
What, 1 asked myself, if it should not suit
Messrs Snip A Shears to attend the nngis
trate's t I felt very well assured that 1 Haild
be liberated a soon aa they saw me ; but
they might have delegated the w bole biuiu ss
to the clerk, who would not hesitate to siear
1 was James J. Smith, because 1 had aoi.it
ted 1 was; and theu bail would be demakled
and, for watit of it, 1 must immediate! be
packed oil to prison. 1
The thought of this degradation fillet me
with sudden fury, and without taking tins to
reflect upon tbe consequences, 1 kiiockedthe
oflicer down, though be was a butty f.iuw
twice ae big as myself, kicked the little tjeik
into tbe gutter, aud immediately ran off, ,op
ing to make my way to the boarding-livse,
thore to lie coucealed isulil Urowu huu!.r
nve iu the city.
This proved a mnre difficult todettakkt
thaa I expected ; for there whs immediately
a great hue aad cry raised ; and the streets
being pretty full of people, (for it was aot 11
o'clock,) 1 was followed and headed, and
assailed on both sides so that it was osly by
taxing my activity to the utmost, and diving
into every alley and byway that offered, ttiut
1 managed to avoid my pursuers My great
est fear was of losing my way, for I knew but
little of this city, and the uniformity of its
streets, and the great family resemblance be
tween all its houses, are very perplexing to a
stranger. Yet 1 thought I was keeping the
run of the streets, notwithstanding my various
doublings ; and by-and-by I was sure that a
large house now iu sight was my bearding
bouse, because it looked exactly like it, and
was gimilaily situated sear an alley, which
or oua the "fac rimile" of it I had taken no
tice of during the day.
As I camo near the house, I found myself
cut off from the door by some jiersone were
ruuniug from tho opposite direction to inter
cept me. I tbereforo pluuged down thu alley,
which was badly lighted, aud soon conducted
me to another ttill darken1 on'e.'vrbrctT 1 per-

rushing in, it w.ij immediately closed again
and bolted behind me ; and this, I was certain,
without tny having been seen from withont ;
for r.one of iny porsnefs had got into the
nll'T. P-ecirJes. the gate was overhung by a
great tree, which darkened the alley and the
whole yard; so that I conbi nothing of
the person who let me ia, exrept that it was
a woman. And this she made eU. more
manifest by taking me round th reck and
giving me a bearry b', exclaiming
"is it yon, Jimmy, my dear? Anl how

was novelty aud uivstery. But I could hsr
var.ous sounds of mirth end chatter, and
especially two or throe pianoe and other
musical itistrumeute ochjitg ia diScrect
parts of the hoie.
In this cctifused state tho damsel led me ap
to little room at the head or the stairs on
the Second story, w here it living, if i-oesible,
stiil darker tbtn ever, 3 he gave Hie a uew

"Now, Jim, my lad, I'll tell ynn all eN.nt

she ) "and 1 with her at least, she thinks

"O, yes," said 1, beginning to wonder and
b interested iu this opening of a plot and
conspiracy among the people 1 did iu,t know,
and marveling what share I was) to play iu
the drama.
"I've no doubt," qnoth my new acrinaint
ance, "she would give me a heap cf money,
for she's rich, and loves me, and I told her 'l
wa ouce r.th. too, or my father was It fore

"Oh-o 1" thought 1, "are you there, Abi

with vivacity, "and it's a gotd one. If the

Then, iiirtekd of taking her to the cars, you
take her right home to onr honse ; she knows

Jim, we'll get married aud vt up for our

Here the faithless Ab'gnil pave me another
embrace, expressive of delight and triumph,
and then charging me to remain qnit t until
she returned, slipped from the room and left
me shut up iu the darkness 1 hesitated
whether or not to obey her. My first im li
nation was, certainly, to creep oe.t, m,w that
the coast was clear, and llud my way to my
own apartment, and vet 1 had a fancy ti.
follow the adveniure lo the end, so far at
least, as t.esee that the eloping lady came to
no mischief. l'Al when I b. guu to tpiesti. n
who this adventuress could be, und to remem
ber that, ulthougli 1 had Seen a good many
young ladies at the tea table in the evening,
Holm of them were particularly hutnlsrime, 1
cot.fe.ts 1 lost so much of my interest in the
matter as to le-olve to finish my share of it
itistauter, retired to bed, and leave the
incognita to her dot uie. I began to grope
for the door, not without making aomo uoim
agaiust opposing chairs and tables, when the
door suddenly opened ; and I was. horrified
by a mail's voice, luutmcniJ ia au euc-er
whisper
"1 ray, Suke, coufound tt, where are you f
and wby don't veu epeuk to me 1"
My tears bad told uie that tl.e new coiner
(could be uo other thau Jimmy, the loitering
weetiieart or couieuerate or AD:guil, or
Van, as her name appeared to be. 1 kept
as iM! ae a mouse, intending, as soon a lie
crMptjjy nie, to slip out of the room. But
lute, 0 Jimmy, bad determined it otherwise.
"I a . Sukey ;" he murmuied, "hy did

But I had thudvuiitaga of him, and was
nearest tbe door'ust BS the scheming Susan,
purbaps alurmed t the buttle, came running
into the room witVa light ; but at the sight
or me she was go trrified that both she and
her light dropped o the floor together, tbe
latter going out in ae fall ; so that I had
just time to notice eiat ahe wus a buxom
wench of eighteen or tvouty, that the door
wis left tvida open, and "the v4se to which
it led was nn exact counterpart of thnt in the
boardin-honse on which my chamber lay ; to
wnicn, toererore, l left i could make my way
withont farther trouble. It was under a
sudden. impulse, nnd with tho ida of punihh
ir.? the treacneronr, i hamber-tnaid, that, ns I
stepped sut, I closed and locked the door,
for I felt tho key wus on tho otilaido, and so
left her and Jimmy to ecttio their difficulties
as they misfit.
I felt, along the passage for t!.9 third door,
which I had no doubt led to my chamber. I
reached it. nnd was in the act of scratching
ahont with my fingers for the knob, when the
door was opened, and to my nnutterable co:i
fnsion, I was seized by a young female, who
drawing me immediately in, nnd closing the
door, said with a voice broken with merriment
"How qnirlt yon ure ! All dressed, already !
what an immense big boy yon make! Where
did tob get snrh magnificent whiskers?"
It was now that the idea first hur.t tipnn
in, that I had got iito the wrong house ; for
I saw at a glance that this was none of my
chamber. It wan a fair lady's bonrloir, or
ante room to a sleeping- apartment, from the
op en door of which it was obscurely illumi
nated. There was jnst light enough for me
to make cnt objects, to discover my extraor
dinary blunder, to. see (or part of this,
peihaps, was fancied,) that my tiew friend,
who received me so warmly nnd familiarly,
was a ynnng lady irresistibly charming and
beautiful ; oh ! what a voice she had ! and
the touch of her hand made me beside myself!
while her expression made it apparent that
s-he was no less a person than the fair incotr
nila, Susan's mistress, and thnt she had mis
taken me for Su.sun dressed in a niau's ap
parel. "Where did yon g- lsuch magnificent whis
kers ?" she cried, and ahe actually pulled them
with ber fingers, in pure admiration. "I never
could have believed," she continued, laugh
ing, "you could be so changed by clothes, that
you woiiiu make such a beauti.ul young loan.
I declare. I feel as if I wanted vou ta make
bve to Uie."
There was no resisting snch an anneal as
that. I immediately cleaned her in mv arms.
and ravished a kiss from her lips, bv which
she was throwu almost into cotivulioc of
laaghter.
"Out, you hussy " she cried, "men are net
so impudent. Bless me, don't be so ridieu
Iotis. There, now, that's enough. But I wish
I might light upon some handsome vonog
fellow for a sweetheart. I wonder now I
shall look in my boy's elothesT But come
alotg aud help me, 1 shall never get the
queer things .mi will, out assistance."
And here the beautiful creature made as if
she would have pulled me along into the
chamber, at which in great terror, 1 dropped
on my knees, aud selling her hand, exclaim
ed "Forgive me, dear madam. I have decelv
ed you ; or rather you have deceived yourself.
I am not Susan, I am "
At the first sound of my voice, for I had
i.ui e(,..keii isefore, she turned wildly upon
me. We were near the door of the chamber,
aud the light shone npon my face as I knelt.
I never saw such a change from a radiant
mirthfuliHss to the extremity of terror. I
bsw she was going to shriek, I sprang up and
jice.u my nanti over ner month.
"For heaven's sake, tnadum," I cried, "do
not ruin me, aud perhaps yourself. I will
not insult yoo. I am a gentleman, the vic
tim of a n.ost extraordinary blunder, which
has cansed this intrusiou, and made me an
unexpected confidant in your intended elope
ment. 1'rsy, madam, don't faint." Certain
ly she looked at) much like it, that I was
obliged to support her and she was compelled
to suffer me. 'T will make every repata'ion ;
I will retire. Nay, I will even assist you lo
f.y; for Susan is faithless, (she designed to
betray jou.) aud you need faithful attend
anl." "Sir sir sir," stammered the beauty, to
whom these allusions to the elopement gave
life, while they covered her with blushes ; 1
need nothing but your immediate departure
for heaveu's sake go 1 Oh, what, what is to
become tf me I" And she wrun.' her hand
and burst into tears.
