From the New England Review
TIIIIMAN WITH THE MUSTACHIOS.
It was a warm Saturday afternoon in Au
gust that a horseman turned up to the inn
which fronts the steepleless meeting house
of a small village in the interior of New
England. As usual, in the warm Saluda) ,
afternoons of summer, the male portion of
the villagers were assembled at the tavern
: 7 --- z sowe drinking punch like water, and oth
ers the "regular old soakers" discussing the
merits of pure.s.New England." Some were
stretched out half asleep, and if the truth
must be told, hall' intoxicated, under the
shade of two venerable elms which overlook
ed the "highway in frontOf the inn, and cult
ers were seated in the window seats of the
bar room, gravely arguing upon matters
spiritual and political.
But the unusual appearance of the stran
ger roused every one in the attitude of cu
riosity. lie, was mounted on an elegant
horse, and as he reined up in it graceful

ornamented with pearl studs and glittering
salbty chains. A broad -stock of silk. de,:
voted his chin to an angle of forty-live de
grees, and supported a collar ()finical, starch
ed to the stitllieNs of sheet iron, and which
protruded'on each side of his. chin like the
limn of a rhinocerdS. Ilbote a huge pair
of whiskers extended froin car to.car, with
the trilling exception of a square inch or
two of his chin, over which the tonsorial
implement had evidOtly recently passed.
His Upper lip was garnislicd by enormous
mustachios, which bristled fiercely upward,
iuul covered ajnoiety °faller cheek. 11 is
hat was most extpusitely small, cone like,
and pitched wittradmirable elfect upon the
left side of his head, while tinge Masses of',
hair, tumbled up carelessly at templesd
were left wholly unciiveied.
• The stranger dismouikted and entered the
inn without deigning a glance to tile right
or left. "lle's a Spaniard or Portuguese,"
said one in it low whisper to his companions
—"Look at his beard," said another. ""011,.

GETTYSBURG, TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1831,
until it stood out as wildly as the locks .of
a LaphindVindstealer.' "Sir!" said he, "I
am a crentleman, and I choose to eat alone—
damme if I don't:" And he looked around
on- the company With the most sovereign
contempt.
otu is tilere was_,A' G o illsnolo _ appea l, r
and .tne man Oli.whisketli was shown to his
apartment, and supper was prepared agreea
bly to his directions. The waiting quid'
was none other than the fair daughter of
the innkeeper, a girl in her seventeentiLyear,
with a bri ,, ht black. eye, and dark natural .
ringlets falling over her plump shoulders.
The whiskered gentleman us the bright lie
ho seated herself at the table to wait upon
his gastronomic operations, stared at her for
some time..with the_most .provokinwassuf.
ance. The girl blushed up to the shadow
of her ringlets.
• "Curse me," said the gentleman at length,
"but you are a devilish. handsome girl."
The fair waiter blushed yet deeper—and
tried to smile away her contusion. Luckily
for her the substantial -Eire of the table at
that monan it caught the eye of her admirer,
and completely occupied all his faculties for
the next half hour.
The supper finished, the stranger arose,
strutted to the glass, pinched his dic:kev, and
twisted his mustachios into a 'gill fiercer
erect ion.
"Ila, my pretty mis - s,"! said he ns'he flung
his 'arm round — tlie neck of die Thu wtfitin.,
who, in the perfornuu►cc ()flier household
doles had chanced to approach hi —' Yotere
too h,uulsom© for a country gift'--and he
bent his wiskers to her thee and attempted
a kiss.
The mustachios would unquestionably
have suffered, had not the fair ones hands
[well filled with the empty dishes of the sup
per table. As it was, she bounced out of
the room in high dudgeon, & our souiew•hat
disconcerted hero vas leti to his own
reAcc
tiuns during the remainder of the evening.
The girl, as was undoubtedly her duty,
immediatel related the circumstance of
the offence sho had received at the hands
of the whiskered traveller, to the keeper of
her father's bar room, who had some time
been her acknowledged lover._ , Shouldn't
have cared so much about it, she said, if
the fellow had looked and acted like a Chris
tian, but to have such a good fur nothing
heathen poking his head in her face, was
what she wouldn't bear, nor touch to—she
knew she wouldn't. The twain forthwith
resolved upon vengeance, and that very
night was fixed for.its - cxecution.
It was midnight—and all was still in the
inn, save that here and there the sonorous
noise of some queasy sleeper, "made the
night hideous" with some somniferous melo
dy. The stranger in mustachios had fallen
into a quiet sleep, with, his pillow so adjusted
as to prevent any -collosion with the hairy
appendages of his countenance. He was
roused into conciousness by the entrance of
the bar keeper and his pretty waiter of the
precedfing evening. He rubbed his eyes
and ral - sf2d himself half upright. The bar
kee per laced a basin of warm wi for a •
ing hd.N mid razors, and a huge pair of sheep
shears upon the stand at the bedside.
"What do yen ant?"w demanded the
whiskered gentleman, ma tone or vacilating
between resolution mid terror.
"To. shave you," was the laconic reply.
In vain the dandy remonstrated, swore,
'and wept by turns—thebaL as
hooper, w. iii,
excitable. Brandishing his naked razor he
commanded him to be quiet under-the pen
alty of a elippe - d'weasand. Exhausted by
agitation and terror, our tniftnlunate hero
sunk down 'won his pillow, and sulle,red tlie
hrush to pass over his countenance wit bout
resistance. The . girl with a grill of most
exquisite - satisfaction, held the light, while
her lover applied the dull arid jagged razor
- to the hairy honors of the stranger.' 'Wills-,
kers and mustachios fell one after the other
—4ll, beautiful as" they were, and dearly
treasured as 'they had been. The wretch
ed' Robespierre, lay .with' his eyes closed,
and silent, save when a dull groan or smoth
ered curse told that the tonsorial instru
ment acted in tho double capai:ity of a clear
ing knife' and stump digger.
"Now:for his hair, - Jane," said the bar
ber,..and the forrnidable sheep shears went
clipping amid the curled and perfumed locks
of our hero.. In a fesy,moments he was left
whiskerless and hairless-.--an excellent
fcan
didate for a wig. "q . ,_nd night to you, mis
ter," said the.barher,.... . he gathered up his
apparatus and rett,..,o „room. "The next.
time you try to kiss a country girl, you'll
have a smooth facqlor it."

"We had better go and - kill hint, said
the considerate man, "before he kills some

"t)l► mercy!" exclaimed several voices;
"I would'm go near him for all the world."

apart from locality, all the leading roads in
the new county -point to Mifflin, - and the

immediate connexion with Mifflintown, by
an excellent bridge across the Juniata. Our
