:z7 A1V IRISH STORY. An extract from Mr. leer't laughable Irish St'jrieg, called radily and the Fox, They my, at latt afther many year uf ptospei. ity, Ihnt the oulJ colonel got stricken In years, an J he begun to have roisgivin's in his conscience (or his wicked doin's, and hit heart was heavy a the few of death kem upon htm and, sure enough. while he had such murnful thought, ihu DiviJ kem to him, and towld him, he should go with him. " Wei', to be sure, the ould man was fickencn'-d, lilt he plucked up his courage and his cuenrs and towld the Divil, in a bnnthcriu' way, j iking like, that he had parlic'Iar busiueas thin, that he was going to a party, and hoped an ould friend would'nt inconvaynience him that ivway." " Well," said I, laughing at the put off of going to a party, " the Divil, of course, would take no excuse, and caniod him off In a fl h of fire I" ' Oh no, sir," answered the old man, in some thing of a reproving, or, at least, l (Tended tone, " that's the finish, I know very well, of many a story, such as we're talkin' ol, but that's not the way of this, tvhich is truth etery wrd what I tell you." "I keg your pnidon fir tho interruption,'"' said T. "No oflince in lie, sir," said the venerable chronicler, who was now deep in his study and woulJ nut be stopped. " Well, sir," continued he, t'.ie Divil said he'd cull tho next day, and that he must be road, and sure enough, in the eveniu' he kem to him, and when the colonel seen him he rcmiuded him of his bargain, that as long as he could give him some work he could'nt do, he waa'iit obi. aged to go. That's lluue,' says the Divil, " 'I'm glad to see you'ie as good as your word, any how,' says tho colonel. " I never bruk lay word yet, says the owld chap, cocking up his horns consai'.edly, honn bright,' says he. ' " Well, then, says the coloi el, 1 build me a mill down there by the river,' says be, and let me have it finished by to-morrow morniu'.' " Your will is my pleasure,' fsys tho ould chap, and awny he wir.t, and the Colonel ihu't he bad nick'd Ould Niok at laf and went to bed quite oi(-y in his mind. " But, jewel maehree, sure the ftrt thing he heerd. tho next raoinin was thai the whole couri' thry round was runniu to see a fine bran uiw m il that was an the liver side where, tho evening Ic fore, not a thing at all, at all, I ut ruahos was standin,' and all, of coorse, wonderiu' what broug it there, and same sayin 'twas not lucky, and many more throubled in mind, but one and all agreein' it was not eoodt and that s the very tu II forninst you, that you were lukiu' afT, and tho stone that I noticed is a remarkable one a big coig atone that they say the Divil hinisalf laid fii. and has the mark of four fingers and a thumb an to this day. " But when the colonel heerd it, he was more throubled than any, of coorse, and began to on- thriio what else he could think W, to keep himself out of tho claws of the ould one. Wed, he often heerd tell that there was one thing the Divil never could do. and I dare eav vou heerd it too, sirs that is, that he could'nt mako a rope out of the sand of the sac ; and so, when tho wild one kem to him the next day, and said his job was done, and t!at now the mill was built, hi mutt either tell him somi thin' else he wanted built, or come uway wii bim. So the Colonel said it was all over wid him ; ' but,' says he, I would'nt like to go wi vou alive ; arid sure it's all the same to you, alive or dead V Oh, thnt won't do,' says his fiiond ; I can' wait no more,' says be. I don't want you to wait, my dear friend,' says the colonel; 'all I want is, that you'll be pleased to kill me before you take mo away. ' With pleasure,' says Ould Nick. But will you promise me my choice of ilyiu' one particular way V say the Colonel. " ' Half a doecn way, if it phae you,' says he. " You're mighty obler gin',' says the Colonel ; and so,' says he, ' I'd rather d e by to in' hanged with a rope made out of the sands of the sae,' says he, lookin' mighty knowiu' at the Ould Fellow. " ' I'vo always one about me,' aiys the Divil, to obleege my frinds,' says he; and, wi h that ho pulls out a rope of sand, sure enough. " Oh, it's game you're mikin',' says the Cole nol, growin, as white as a sheet. " The game it mine, sure enough,' says the ould fellow, grinnin', with a lerrib'e laugh. " That's not a sand rope at all,' says the Colonel. " Isu't it 1' iy the Divil, hitting him arrois the face with the ind of the rope, and tho sand (fur it was made of sand sure enough) wim into one i f his eyes, and made the tears come wiih the pain. u ' That bates all I ever seen or hef id,' gays the Colonel, sthrivin' to rally snd make another offer ; is there any tiling you can't do V " Nothin' you can tell me,' aays the Divil, so you may as well lave off puluvcrin', and come along at wsnst. " Will you give me one more off r," says the Colonel. " You d n't deaarve it,' says the Divil ; ' l u' I dont care il I do;' for you sen, tir, he was only play in' wid bint, and tantalum' the oulJ sinner. All fair,' says the colonel, and with that he sx'd him could he stop a woman's tongue 1" u Thry ne,' says Ould Niels. ' Well, then,' snys tbe colonel, make my lady's tongue be quiet for the next month, and I'll thank yon-' She'll never throuble you again,' says Ould Nick) and wiih that, the Colonel heeid rosriu' ami cry in", and the door of his room was thrown open, and in ran bis daughter, ai.d fell down at his feet, telling bin) her mother had just dropped tjJ The minil the door opened the Divil runs and ides himself behind a big elbow chair, and the Colonel was freuked almost out of his siven einscs, by raison of the sudd, n death of hi poor Inly, let alone the jeopard he was in himself, sceiu' h w the Divil had forest alf d him every way l and after I rnigin bis hell and Collin in hi servants, and rc . , i , i . ... ..1 lo,Br"1 i'nier out or tier mini, ne wa goin' awjiy wi n nor oul oi tne room, when the Uivil caught howld of him by the skirt of the coat, and the colonel was oMtvged to 1 t his danghtei be carried out by the servants, aid shut the door af.er them, " Well,' sav a the Divil, and lie grinned and wagged his tail all as oue as a dog when he is nl.ised what do you sav now 1' rays he. i nt, .... ik .i..n..i i !.. i . .!..

" Don't call names,' says the Divil you hnd better keep a civil tongue in your head, says he ; ' and it doesn't become a gimlcmcn to forgit good manncis " V ell, sir, to m.ike a long slory short, the Divil purtended to let him off. out of kfnJne-s, for three days, until his wife was buried ; but the raison of il was t'tis, that when the lady, hi daughter, fainted, he loosened the clo ties about her throat, snd, in puling some i f her dhresa awny, he tuk off a goold chain that was an her neck, and put it in h's poc ket, and the ch.iin had a diamond crass at it, (the Loid be praised !) and the Divil daren't touch him while he had the sign of the crius about him " Well, the poor colonel, God forgive him, was grieved for tho loss of his lady, and she bad an id- gant tVmn, ojtd they say to a when tlae praye s was reading over the dead, tbe ould colonel took it I to heo.t liU in. thins-, and the word o' Qok kem L ." . J . r. , .. . nome ro ni poor siniui sowi ai i " ell, sir, to make a long story mori, me n.u iv it was, that for threo days o' grace that was I given to htm, the p.ior deluded ould sinner did nothin' at all but read the Biblo f m morning till 1 g nighl, and bit or sup didn't pass bis tips ail ti e time, he was so intuit upon the book, but sat up in so ould loom in the far ind of the huus', and bid no one disturb hun on no account, and struv to m ike his heart bould with tho words iv l.fe ; and sure il was s imuhiug slringlhoncd him at Ian', tho' a the time drew nigh that theirwmjr was to come, he didn't feel aisy, aud no worldlier I and by dad, the three was part aud gone in no time, and the a ry goes, that ut the, dead hour o' the night, when the poor sinner was roailin' away a last as he coulJ, my jew'l, his heart jumped up Ij his mouth at g. tlin' a tap on the shouldlier, " Ob, tnuriher !' says he, who's there V for he was afraid to look up. " ' It's me,' says the ould one, and he stood right forninst him, anj his eyes like coals o' lire, lonkiii' him through, and he sa'd, with a voice thht a'mcat split his ould heart, ' Come,' says he. " ' Another day,' cried the poor color.ol. " ' Not another hour,' said Sat'n. " 'Half an hour V " Not a quaither,' says'lhe Divil. grim. In' with a bitter laugh give over your read in', I bid you,' says he, ' and come away wid me.' " Only gi' mo a few minute,' says he. " Lave off your palaverin', you aneakin' ould sinner,' says Sat'n ; you know you'ie bought anJ sowld to me, and a purty be' gain I have t you, you ould ba te,' say he, ' so come along at wanst,' and he put out hi claw to kttch hiiu ; but th Colonel tuk a fast hcul o' the Bible, snd Im gged hard that he'd let him alone, and wouldu't harm him anlil tho bit o' candle that w. a just bliiikiu' iu I the s.icket U fore him, waa burned oul. " Well have it so, you dirty coward,' said Ould Nick, and with that he spit an him. ' But the poor ould Cnlonel didn't lose a minit, (for he was cunnin' to the ind,) but snatched the t.tle tasle o' candle that was forninst him, out o' I ho candlestick, and, puttiu' it an the holy book be foie bim, he i-hut down the cover au it, and quinched the light. Wid tlxt tbe Divil gave a roar like a bull, and vanished like a flash of fire, and the poor colonel fainted away iu hi chair ; but the servant heerd the noise, (for the Divil tore aif the roof o' the house when he he left it) and run into the room, and brought their master to himself agin. And from that diy out he wa an allhernd man, and u-mj ! to have the Bible read to him every day, for lie c-u.d nt read lumstii any more, by rai- son of losin' bur eyesight, when the Divil hit bim with the inpe of sail J in the face, and sfiher spit an him; for the sand wiut iulo one eye, and he lost tho other that a-way, avin' your presence. So you sec, sir, ad her all, the Colonel, under Heavon, was too able far the Divil, and by rcadiu' the good book, bis son 1 wa saved, and (glory be to God !) it't luU mighty improvin f" NOTICE, ui(r,unui l Aivr. aui itt, mat we nave applied to tbo Court of Common Pleas of North umberland county tor the beueGt of thelsw made for the relief of insolvent deMor; and that the Judges of the said Court have appointed tbe first Monday of November next, to bear us ai d our creditors at the Court House in Sunbury, when and where you may attend if yoo think oer.

Tho first year's publication, c.mipiinng the first volume, conlaines a m-is.of valuable inloimsiion, and it will tie the ol j. cl of the editor lo make the second equal in all respets, if not superior, lo the first. The imjiortanl fuel is now eta' lishrd be yond any question, that the people ol the United St ates can make silk rattrsa and aiTTte than any other nation Uxn earth. It has been proved by unimpeachable, test mony, thai the entire cost nf producing silk ready far ma ket, doe not exceed TWO HOLLAS ANB TWIITI FIVE CXNTS riB rou.iD, and its lowest value is roc a dollabs asb rirrr cists; slao, that oai acbk of ground plant ed in mora tnulticanlH, will ptinfuce the fi st year the trees are planted, rorar i-trnu r rnriids or silk, leaving a clear profit lo the producer of ox a Mi'NiiMr.n akii kioht diillaks !
