TALE IMITATED k'ItOM THE HERMAS
A beautiful Lady of Bourdeaux, mourned
with the sincerest grief for her husband,
who, as she heard by report, had perished
a shipwreck. A numerous crowd ofsui
tors, attracted by heryouthfial charms, only
waited the confirmation of this rumour to
solicit her hand. She behaved towards
them with the utmost decency and proprie
ty; yet, as she wished to make a return for
the politeness they slimed her, she made a
splendid entertainment Cr them, on one of
the concluding days of the carnival. While
the company were engaged in play, a stran
ger, habited as a genius, entered, and sat
down to play with the lady, Ile lost, de.
'minded revenge, and lost again. This ad
verse fortune attended him, ten or twelve
times successively, because he adroitly
managed the dice in such a manner that the
chance-was continually against him. Other
players then wished to try their luck with
him, but experiment did not turn to tlteir
advantage. The lady again resumed her
place; and - wort an'immense sum which the
mask lost with a good humour and gaiety
that absolutely astonished - the spectators.
Some person observed, !odd enough to be
heard, that this was not da t
ts-1 1
,y throiVing away one's money; on which,
raising his voice ; he said, "that.he was the
Demon of riches, which -ho--valued not, ex
cept so liir as it was in his power to bestow
them on that' lady;" and immediately, to
prove the truth ()fills words, he,_ produced
several bags of gold, and others filled with
diamonds and different - kinds dr• precious
stones,- ()Hering to stake them, .one single
throw against any thing of the must trival
value she. might please to propose. The
• lady startled, and embarrassed by this
and
now rernsed . to play any more,
the company know, not what to .thiok Of this`'
extraordinary occurrence, when an old lady
present, observed to the person next her,
' i that he must certainly be the devil; and that
his riches, his appearance, his discourse,
and his dexterity of play- all sufficiently
chewed that .he was. The stranger, over-'
hearing this, profitted by theilMit.' Ilea -
smned the air', and style of temagician, al
luded to various cirgoinstances which could
be known only to the lady, spoke. several.
tereign long ages, performed inatiy ingen

t
that he wi -come to demand a certain per
son in company, who had given herself
to him, and who, he protested, behinued to
him; asserting, at the same time, that he
would take her to himself, and never leave
her more, in defiance of every obstacle..'
.All eyes were now iiii the lady, Who knew
not what to think of-this adventure; the wo
ink,trembled, the men smiled, and the gen
ius still continued to excite the perplexity
and:admiration of the comPany. This ex

GETTYSB.URG, TITESDAY, JULY 19, 1831.
The first section of the Baltimore and
Susquehanna Rail-road was completed last
week, and opened,tbr trivet on Monday last,
the 4th inst. It is seven Indus in length,
was liniShed, in a durable style, at an
expense of twelve thousand dollars per mile
—which is about one half of the cost, per
mile, of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-road.
It is said that this section forms the most
difficult part of the route. Those who are
acquainted with the country, will readily
admit that the 'expense of constructing the
whole road between Baltimore and Ycirk
cannot, if ordinary economy be used, bear
any undue .proportion to the advantage
which must result from its completionolike
to the city of Baltimore and to the extensive
range of country in Pennsylvania - to which
it would furnish an additional improved
avenue to the seaboard. Prejudice and so
phistry may do much to retard the progress
wort; ut to proportion as correct
notions of political economy become diffused
among the people, and the true interests of
the farmers and mechanics of the interior.
are perceived, opposition will cease. Penn
sylvanin, with such inexhaustible - stores of
iron and coal, and such a superabundance
of agricultural products--:depending for their
value mainly on facile mid cheap access to
market—is too deeply interested in encour
aging mutual intercourse, to persevere long
in a course of legislation as short-sighted as
it is contemptible, and which has been fos
tered and promoted only by the intrigues
used and false.. views presented by a greedy
and grasping spirit of monopoly.
