'A 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 ious tricks, and Concluded by dOlaring, 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.

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.
