An Incident foiindctl on Vntt. I
I was tilting at my window lo-Jay, (Sunday)
and I saw a laboring man passing on (lie sidc-w.dk
rather poorly cluJ, and his clothe soiled with wear.
1 instantly remarked the contrast which his person
al appearance presented to the fashionable throng
that had just awopt along In all the gay atiire of a
holiday. I was ahout to philosophise upon the
con trial and speculate upon the chrqucred scenes
cf human existence, when I saw the man atoop ami
pick up two small pieces of coin. A smile or joy
seemed to pass ovor hia countenance as he looked
at them and placed them in his pocket, t ri joicod
with him, for ho seemed to he hoppy. How little
thought I, fills the poor man's heart with gladness
That was a trifle, the loss of which a rich man
would never know, and yet it has made this poor
hard lolioiing man happy. Tt rhaps ho had a fami
ly In want, and now enjoys the anticipated delight
of relieving them. Possibly it was a little Godornil
to supply the necessaries of some amiable and be
loved wife languishing ujron a brd ef sickness, or
helpless infancy incapable of providing for itself.
Indeed I felt so much interested, that I put on my
hat and followed the man along the walk, to tec
whither he would go and what he would do. He
passed only to the next corner, where the door of a
grocery stood open, at which ho looked wishfully
but hesitatingly, and then entered.
I hastened to see what he. would do. He ad
dressed the man in attendance, saying he had found
prizo. Thut it was email, but he must have a
T4T out of it, for his Rood luck, and with the re
mainder he wanted to get some delicacy f..r hi
wife, who was very sick and bad a very poor ap
tite. The bottle was h tnded down and he drank
beforo he had any time to make any selection for
hia wife, an acquaintance entered. They shook
hands, he told him of his good fortune, and asked
him to drink to his "good luck," and again he
drank. He soon appeared to fuel quite social
they commenced talking. He seemed to have for
gotten his tu Hiring wife, and shortly after some
more of his acquaintance stepped in, and again ho
told his good fortune, and again they drank. Th.-y
all became excited, got into a dispute, and finally
into a quancl, which came to I lows. This produ
ced a noire, and the police came to the rescue, and
the last I saw of this unfortunate man was that he
was marched off in the custody of an oflK-or to lie
in prison until he could be tried for this breach of
the peace. Buffalo Com. Adv.
JACK SMASH.
Jack Smasher was one of the prettiest hands at
coining; and more, he was blessed with a w fo
born, I should say, with a genius for passing lud
money. She took a crown ono of her husband's
hasc-begolten off-pring and purchased with it the
three-pennyworth of rhubarb from a chcaiLt, who,
undone man! handed over four-and-uinepence
change. In due season the apothecary delected the
guileful crown, and in his own clear bread', resol
ved to destroy it. However, it remained by the
strangest accident in his till, and by an accident
still more extraordinary, was given in part of change
for a guinea to a gentleman a little the worse fir
liquor, who, on his way home to bed, took the pie
caution of dropping into Slr.dghtback's for a box
of his own patent -anti-bacchic pills. I , the
morning the vinous gentleman discovered the pocket-piece,
but as ho hud changed more than one
guinea, could not with certainty detect the giver of
the counterfeit. No mutter : it remained loo,;c with
other money in his pocket, and one day, to his jwn
surprise, he found he bad passed it. Ho had taken
a journey, and it was very dark when, in the hand
somest manner, he fee'd the coachman. Tho poor
man who drove the Tall ho did not realize more
than 100 per annum, and could not i.ff.ird to lose
five shillings; hence, Smasher's crown became,
at a fitting opportunity, the propcity uf a randblind
old gentlewoman, who, her loss discovered, lilted up
her hands at the iniquity of the world, and put
aside the brasy wickedness; The good, old soul
never missed a charily sermon. The Reverend Mr.
Sulphurlongue mado a tweet discourse in favor of
the conversion of the Jews, and the chtuc'.. wardens
condescended to hold each a plate. To the great
disgust of the discoverers, a bad crown was detected
amongst the subscribed half-crowns and shiliugs.
The beadle wrs directed to destroy i. Ho intend
ed to do so, but in pure forgetfulness, passed it one
day fur purl ; the landlady of the -George' having,
as she said, 'taken it, was reaolvcd not to loose it,'
and by some accident it was given to a peJlar, who,
after a walk of twenty miles, entered an alo house,
took his supper of bread and ohceee went to bed
rose, and proffered for his account Jack Kin other's
pocket-piece. The pedlar was immediately given
ilitj tho hands of a constable, taken before a magi-Irate,
and ordered to be imprisoned and whipped
as t passer of counterfeit money.

A Hot Di.v.vkr Sharks, it is said, will fol
low a vessel for days or w.wks together, in hopes of
catching a man oveiboard, or for the sake of any
bits of o'fal, or the refuse of the tabic. On this
subject Jack Tulfraii telN a pretty lough story
"There was." said he, "a big shark that followed
tho Miry Ann for a whole month together. He
knew when it was meal timo as well as the best
of us, and would always be ready for his share of
the mess as soon as the ship, crew had finished
theirs. Well, there wag Tom Staysail and myself,
we luid a plan lu outwit the fellow. About dinner
time one day wo heated a canon bal , a twenty
four pounder, led hot; and having first tossed Mr
Shark a bit or two of meat to get him in the way
of catching will, we threw him the red hot hull,
Ho caught it, and swallowed it quicker th in you
could say Jaik Robinson." "Did'ut it kill him,''
asked a bystander. "I don't know, fuith," returned
Jack, "but I believe he thought 'twas a tarnation
hot dinner, for we ncvci saw hiin afterwards."
A spendthrift, who had neurly watid till hi
patrimony, teeing an acquaintance in a coal not of
the newest cut, told him that he thought it had been
his great grandfather's coat. "So it was," suil the
gentleman, "and I have also my gieat grandfather's
lands, which is muro than you can say."

dence, that at iIih present rate of increase, we shall
be enabled in a few mouth to boast of more than
35,000 subscribers I When we commenced our
labors, W-- announced distinctly, that the tone of the
paper should be decidedly moral, and that nothing
should be adm tied into our columns, which the
most fastidious father could disapprove of, and de
term tied that as an approved Family Ptiner. it
should not contain a paiagraph, with ihe spirit of
which a. parent wouiu uoi wish to nave a daughter
familiar, and wo therefore, with this view, announ
ced that no theatrical notices should appear in our
columns, and that we should lie minosed lo theatres
as things calculated lo injure the healthy action of
an nonesi minu, aa creative ot exhibition demo
ralizing in tendency, and fearfully pernicious in
fact. There were not wanting blusterers, who
made a great parade of opposition, and Croakers,
who predicted our speedy dowufu l, but we threw
our.-clves upon the sober, rational and experienced
poilion of the people of the Uuitid Stale, for sup
port, and we have been nobly sustained.
We thought and expressed the opinion, that
however c ircles many might lie upon this subject,
that few, ven if they did not entirely disapprove
(if such entertainments, cared about having tho
gross detail forever paraded before thn eyes of
their children, anu ino sickening ami nauseating
eulogy of all kind of characters made familiar to
their minds.
We determined also, that while the paper con
tinued under our control, it should be strictly neu
tral in politics, anu mat as news and literary jour
nalists we had nulli ng to do with the matter ; this
determi' ation has been strictly and rigidly adhered
to, and while we shall continue to give our reiders
such public document as may In deemed of inte
rest to all, and such a history of the progress of
political events, as are strictly in keeping with our
duty, and t'.e character ol the paper, w shall stu
diously ar.u -horoughly avoid any contamination of
parnz n pol.t.c.
The p iper is now printed in a new and beauti
ful tyic, has received tho praise of many editors of
taste, as -the handsomest tannly sheet in the Union.'
Our elfirtR have been directed to the combining
ot beauty and aimpncity with utility and ta.te.
'The Post ia printed on a stout wh le paper, ren

velopement of intellectual strength. The present

variety oi liiieresnug laies, original, from lorcign
and domestic magazines, together with the valua
ble contributions of our own circle of literary
friend will continue lo give interest to ihe paper,
while everything important and worthy of note that
nnppeus in the Old World or the New, shall be
collected and collated for the taste of oui rea
ders.
The Ladice' Department shall always be choice
and select, and shall receive strict attention, while
ucrt things aa may Interest our juvenile leaders,
snd that impoitant and large class of our readers,
theFaimir will not he overlooked. In order to
gratify, as much as possible, the laudiblc desiie of
our country readers, a portion of our attention wiil
ho ilev.ited to the collection and diffusion of such

may seem important to agriculturists, and the pop
ulation resident without the confines of our great
cities The state of the markets and the fluctua
tions in the price-, will be regularly and whut is of
more moment, Correctly given.
We have ever been opposed to tho constant
blusier aud parade mado by some editors, about
the excellence of their papers, and have resolved
that the Saturd y Evening Post, shall be conduct
ed, as to speak for it elf.
Our renlei will always fi d in its columns the
earliest and mc-t authentic information, rs well as
the most choice and entertaining literary matter.
We hrve totally discarded the sy.-tem ot filling the
paper wi h quack adveitisements, but pr for giving
our reideis from week to wtck, enteitaming read

And wo f el assured that we shall be nn losers

Of the above eminent writer-", celebrabd in our

of any pnice.
We g ve three times as many ernlx llishments as
any other mag izine, und each plate is equal, if not
suerior to the ono (.f any coteni; onry.uud yet the
price of the magazine is not increased Our edi

better return may therefore be expected for ihe p.ico
