Where the mountain smiles in the morning's
And thednik old rivers plow.

And the trembling lightnings cower.

And your soldieis may shake their blazoned

On the plains of Europe won.

Where the patiiot sold.cr rests,
And the vales tdiall echo a thousand filming,
And the hills put on their crests.

Could anything be more faithful and
laughable than the following sketch,
w hich we take from an article called
Ci irnerackcry, by the popular author of
Harry Franco, in the last Knicker
bocker? It is tho richest vein:
Kevcr had a weary traveller a swee
ter prospect of enjoying a refreshing
nap. We had travelled about a mile,
and the easy motion of the coach had
just begun to put me and my fellow
travellers into a pleasant sleep, when a
shrill voice exclaiming 'Stop!' caused
tho driver to rein up, which roused me
from the delightful state of insipient som
nolency into which J was sinking.
It was an elderly lady, with a mon
strous band box, a paper covered trunk,
and a little girl. We w ere of course
debarred the satisfaction of saying a
single ill-natured word. The driver
dismounted from his box, and haviug
stowed away the lady's baggage, pro
cceded to assist her to store herself u
way in a coach.
Driver,' said the lady, do you know
Deacon Hitchcock V
'So ma'am,' replied the driver, '1
have only driven on the road aboat a
fortnight.'
'I don't,' said the humorist; 'but I
know Deacon llotchkiss, if that w ill an
swer your purpose.'
'Don't neither of them ether gentle
men know him !' she inquired.
I shook my head negatively; for I
was afraid to speak, lest J should dispel
the charm which sleep had begun to
shed over me: and the invalid shook
his head as he was unable to sjieak.
"Well, then, I don't know whether to
get in or not,' said the lady, 'for 1 must
see Deacon Hitchcock before 1 go
home. I am a lone widow lad-, all the
way from the state of .New Hampshire,
and the Deacon was a very particular
friend of my husband's, this little girl's
father, ho has been dead this two long
years; and 1 should like lo sec him
amazingly.
'Does he live about here?' asked the
driver.
'Well, I don't know for certain,' said
the lady; 'but he lives somewhere in
Connecticut. This is tho first time 1
was ever so far from home; I live in
the slate of Mew Hampshire, and it is
dreadful unpleasant; 1 feel a little du
bious about riding all alone in a stage
with gentlemen 1 never seen before in
all my life.
'There is no danger, ma'am' said the
driver, 'the gentlemen won't hurt you.'
'Well perhaps they won't; but it is
very unpleasant for a lady to be so fur
from home; 1 live m the state otiew
Hampshire; and this little girl's lather
'Yon had better get in ma'am,' said
the driver with praiseworthy modera
tion. 'Well I don't know but I mav as well,'
she replied; and after informing the
driver once more that she was from the
state of .New Hampshire, and that her
husband had been dead two years, she
soon got in, and took her seat.
'I will take your faro ma'am,' said
the driver.
How much is it sir?' asked the lady.
'Four and sixpence, fur yourself and
little girl,' said the driver.
'Well that is a monstrous sight of mo
ney, fr a little girl's passage, like that ;
her father, my husband, has been dead
these two long years, and 1 was never
so fur from home in all my life. I lived
in the state of Xew Hampshire. It is
very unpleasant for a lady ; but I dare
say neither of them gentlemen would
see me imposed upon.
'I will take your fare if you please
ma'am,' again said he, in a tone border
ing somewhat on impatience.
How much did you say it was? Three
and six pence V asked the lady.
Four and six pence, if you j 'lease
ma'am,' said the driver.
O, four and six penco V and nfler a
good deal of fumbling, and shaking of
her pockets, she at last produced a half
dollar, and a York shilling, and put them
into the driver's hand.
That is not enough ma'am ; I want
ninepence more,' said the driver.
What ! aint we in York state V she
asked eagerly.
No ! ma'am, it is six shillings Y'ork
money,' replied the driver.
'Well, 1 used to be (juile good at
rcekoiiimr, when I was to homo in the
state of Saw Hampshire ; I've reckon
ed up many a lish vyage; but since I
have got so fur from home, I believe I
utn beginning to loose uy mental facul
ties,' suid the lady.
At last, after making allusion two or
three times to her native state, and her
deceased husband, (happy man!) she
handed the driver his ninepence, and wc
were once more in motion.
Although my fellow travellers rc
mained silent all the time she was dis
puting with the driver, yet they looked
as if they wished the lady some of the
worst wishes could be imagined.
Do you think it is dangerous on this
road V began the lady as soon as the
door was closed,
I am a very lengthy way from home,
in the state of Mew Hampshire, and if
any thing should happen, I don't know
what I should do. 1 am quite unfami
liar with travelling; and 1 hope you
wont think me obtrusive ; I am a widow
lady ; my husband, the father of this
little girl, has been dead these two years
come this spring ; and I am going with
her to the fprings ; she has got a dread
ful bad complaint in her stomach. Are
you going to the Springs, sir V said she,
addressing tho invalid, who shook his
head in reply.
Ah: are you going, sir?' she said
addressing the humorist.
Xo, I am not, and if I were
he replied. Hut the contingency was
inwardly produced.
'Are vou V she asked, turning to me.

'Ah, I am very sorry ; I should like

pleasant for a lady to be so fur from
home without a protector: I am from
the state of New Hampshire, and this is
the first lime I ever went travelling in
my life. Do you know any body in
New Hampshire V
'No, madam, I do not, and I hope you
will excuse me for saying that I never
wish to,' said the humorist.
'Well now, that is very strange,' con
tinued the gossip, '1 have not met a sin
gle soul that I know, since I left home;
and 1 am in a public way, too; 1 fol
lowed schoolkeeping mostly for my oc
cupation : and I am acquainted w ilh all
ihe first people in the state. 1 have
been a school teacher ever since my
husband died, the father of this poor lit
tle girl, two years ago ; and I am very
well known in llockneybottom Kock
ingham county, in the state of New
Hampshire ; 1 know all the first gentle
men in the place. There is Squire God
win, Squire Cushman, Mr. Timothy
Havens, Mr. Doctor David .'
Heavens and earth! 1 cant stand
this! Driver! stop and let me get out !'
exclaimed the humorist.
The driver reined up, and the humo
rist took his valise in his hand, and jum
ped out, lollowed ly the invalid, who
setout towalkbacv to tho tavern we
left behind us.
I thought the New Hampshire lady
would probably understand the cause of
our fellow travellers sudden depaiture,
and leave me to the quiet enjoyment ot
my nap. I never was more mistaken,
No sooner was tho coach in motion a-
gaiu than she began to pour out such a
running stream of surmises and ques
tions about tltem gentlemen that had
left us,' mingled with reminiscences of
New Hampshire and her deceased hus
band, that J began to wish myself back
again, on board a rail road car. At

The following details are as strange
as they are true. In ihe neighborhood
of Gloucester, a young lady of highly
I i
respectable connections, has experien
ced a series of reverses in the cause of
the heart s best aficctiou, seldom equal

society, became by accident acquainted
with the maiden to whom we allude,
and, their affection becoming recipro
cal, the day was fixed for their union,
which w as to have taken place in the
city of Gloucester. Agreeably with
this arrangement, and as the match was
a desirable one. her parent parted with
a lucrative business in the country, on
which she and her mother lived in re
spectabihty anil comfort, and went to
Gloucester, intending to settle. The
day for the celebration of the wedding
arrived; but, alas! the bridegroom
came not: his parents had peremptori
ly forbidden ihe match, and he was al
ready by their contrivance, on the seas
bound lor Jamaica. A letter reached
the poor girl, but to confirm her fears;
his parents' consent had been withheld,
and he had suddenly left the seaport
