DOSING A TRAVELLER.
A HOTEL SCENE,
JIY U. KOSHOOT,
It was ono of the ,extonsive hostelries
which are to be "tied up to" in most of
the largo towns in the interior of New
York, that the following scene actually oc
curred, as can be proved by a cloud of
witnesses who have heard the landlord
tell the story.
The hotel referred to was, on the occa
sion of which we aro speaking rather full
and the nephew of the Landlord lay sick in
one of the rooms on the third floor. He
was to receive medicine during the night
from the hands of a person who had been
procured to "watch" with him. The land
lord had instructed the aforesaid watcher
to admiuistor a portion of some little phys
ic to the patient at 12 o'clock; the dose
to be repeated at certain hours of the
night.
"He is rather teohy," said the landlord,
"and you had better keep out of his room
until you go up to give him the medi
cine."
"Oh; for that mutter," replied the
watcher, who was a novice in the vocation,
"I prefer to sit hero;" and ho eyed a sofa
whioh was in the apartment, in a suspi
cious scanner.
"Well," said the landlord, “you won't
forgot the number of his room?"
‘'i . No sir."
"And tell him ho must tako his medi
cine without Making such a confounded
fuss as ho made with the last dose. Tell
him that I say he must tako it—it's good
for him."
"Yes sir."
"Good night."
"Good night."
Boniface ;eared and the watcher de
posited himself on the sofa from which he
was roused by his own snoring at a quar
ter before one. In dismay and confusion
he seized the potion and hurried up stairs.
The sick man was lodged in No. 52, but
the nurse in the haste mistook No. 53 for
it and entering the latter, ho saw a person
lying in bed, face upward, with his mouth
wide open, respiring with that peculiar
gurgle in the throat which indicates strong
lungs and a plethoric habit.
"Ah!" mentally exclaimed the astute
watcher, "ho makes a fuss about his me
dicine, does he'? blowed through if
he dont take one dose quietly—before he
wakens up in fact!"
The idea of giving a potion of bitter
physic to a somnolent patient was suffi
ciently ridiculous; but when we consider
that the watcher had entered the wrong
room and was about to administer it to the
wrong wan, the affair becomes still wore
ludicrous.
Our friend, the watch, acted promptly,
and haring filled the bowl of a large spoon
with the nauseating mixture, ho forced it
down the throat of the sleeping traveller,
who happened to boa healthy Hibernian that
had never tasted physic before i his life.
The Irishman struggled and bit the spoon
severely, but the watcher plunged it still
HUNTINGDON, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1852.
deeper in his throat saying as ho did so.
4 , 0 h but you must take it--the land
lord says you must!"
The nasty dose went down but when
Patrick recovered from his breath and be
gan to pour forth his objurations in his
own peculiar rhetoric, the watcher discov,
ered that he had committed an
.egregious
blunder, and seizing his light fled from the
room.
The astonished and enraged traveller
sprang from his bed, and was soon hoard
rushing about in search of the landlord
swearing vengeance against him and all
connected with his house. On he came
tearing through the passages, banging the
doors, and roaring like a grizzly—bull.
..„ . .
"00-00-oh! it kilt Tam; bo dad,
any how. Au-uh! I'm chawked with poi
son. Divil a bit iv n, farm in the wist
horn country will I buy now—for I am a
dead man! The poison is sting me up
just. Och! it's enough to snake a dog
throw his father in the fire! Ilooly Saint
Patrick? Landlord' landlord, land-10-o-o
-o-r-r-rd!"
Pat had by this time descended to the
floor on which the landlord's apartment
was situated and the worthy host, hearing
the hillabulloo, opened his door and asked
what was the matter?
"Ah! is it there yo are! Como out for
a bating or lot me come tell ye! A d
poorty house yore kapen, to sind yore man
into an honest travellers's room to pison
the innocent Divil in his slope! Ugh! the
bitter nasty pison !—come ant here, and
I'll lather ye like blazes!"
What's the matter, my good friend!"
inquired Bonifo.ce.
"Ow! the matter is!—when I was waked
from my swate slope and a big dirty brag
gard stood fornint me rannuin a big la-dle
down me trote full ov pison—and sez he,
you must take it, the landlord, sez so:
Au' now, what's tho matter, sez you! An'
that's ono of yor thricks on travellers!"
Como out here an' I'll bate ye. Be
the blood of the hooly 'northers, I'll brake
ivory bone in yer 'ugly body!—l'll tache
ye to poison a docent thravoller, that's
going to buy land in the wisthern eoun
thry!
The Irishman here became entangled
in the meshes of a wooden settee which
stood in his way, and, at the same time
the landlord's wife seized her wrathy lord
—although a host in himself, she was not
willing to risk him iu a rough and tumble
fight in the dark—and having plucked
him back into her sleeping apartment, she
locked the door and bolted it securely.
The prospective purchase of "wisthern
lauds" having extricated his legs and arms
from those of the settee, still thirsted for
the landlord's blood.
"Bring me till the murtherin ould till
yan; let too come at him!"
At this juncture, however, Mick, the
hostler, made his appearance with a lan-.
tern, which he held up to the physic-smear
ed face of the enraged traveller with
polite request that he would hold his'
tongue. But Mick was : at last compelled )
to give his fellow countryman a good beat
ing, which had the elkot to restore him to
good humor, and when he found that he
was not poisoned after all, he retired once
more to his bed to dream of his "forum"
which he was going to buy in the "wist
born couuthry."—Boston Daily Times.
A True Story.
Tho following remarkable story has all
the interest of romance) yet it is true and
the parties are still living:
It was in the memorable year 1814
when the allied armies were concentrated
about Paris.
A young lieutenant of dragoons was en
gaged with three or four Hungarians who
after having received several smart strokes
from his sabre, managed to send a ball in
to his shoulder, to pierce his chest with a
thrust from a lance, and to leave him for
dead on the bank of the river.
On the opposite side of the stream, a boat
man and his daughter had been watching
the unequal fight with fears of desperation.
But what could an old unarmed man do,
or a pretty child of sixteen? However
the old soldier—for such the boatman was
—had no sooner seen the officer fall from
his horse than ho and his daughter rowed
over most vigorously for the other side.
Then when they had deposited the
wounded man in their boat, these worthy
people crossed the river again, but faint
hopes of reaching the military hospital in
time.
"You have been vory badly treated my
boy," said the old gentleman to him, "but
here am I who have gone further and come
home."
The silence and the fixed attitude of
Lieutenant S---, showed tho extreme
agony of his pains, and the hardy boat
man soon discovered that the blood which
Was gathering about the wound on his left
side would shortly terminate hiS existence;
ho turned to his youthful daughter: •
"Mary," ko• said "you have heard me
tell of my brother; be died of just such a
wound as this hero. Well, now had there
only been somebody to suck the hurt, his
life would have been saved."
The boatman then landed and went to
look for two or three soldiers to help him
to carry the officer, leaving his daughter in
charge of him. The girl looked at the
sufferer for a second or two. What was
her motion whoa she heard him sigh so
deeply, not that ho was resigning life in
the first flower of his age, but that ho
should without a mother's kiss.
"My mother! my dear mother!" said he,
"I must die without—
Her woman's heart told her what ho
would have said. Her bosom heaved with
sympathy and her eyes ran over.
Then she remembered what her father
said, she thought how her uncle's life might
have been saved. In an instant, quicker
than thought she tore open the officer's
coat, and the generous girl recalled him
to life with her lips.
Amid this holy occupation the sound of
footsteps was heard, and the blushing he
roine fled to the other end of tho boat.—
Judge of her father's surprise as he conic
up with two soldiers, when he saw Lieu
tenant S , wn ho expected to
find dead open his eyes and ask for his
deliverer.
The boatman looked at his child and
saw it all. Tho poor girl came to him
with her bead bent down! Sho was about
to excuse herself, when her father,
em
bracing her with enthusiasm, raised her
spirits, and the officer thanked her in these
prophetic words!
"You have saved my life; it belongs to
you."
After this she tended him, and became
his nurse: nothing would he take but from
her hand. No wonder that with such a
nurse he at length recovered. Mary was
as pretty as she was good.
Meanwhile Master Cupid, who is very
busy in such cases gave him another wound
and there was only ono way to cure it—so
very deep it was.
The boatman's daughter became Mad
ame S . Her husband is not now a
simple Lieutenant but a Lieutenant Gener
al, and the boatman's daughter is as ele
gant and graceful a lady as any that you
see' at court.
Story For Boys.
It is related of a Persian mother, that
on giving her son forty pieces of silver as
his portion, she made him swear never to
tell a lie, and said, "Go my son, I consign
thee to God, and we shall not meet again
till the day of judgement."
The youth wont away, and the party he
travelled with was assaulted by robbers.
Ono fellow asked the boy what he had got,
and ho said, "forty dinars aro sewed up in
my garments." Ho laughed thinking ho
jested. Another asked him the same ques
tion, and received the same answer.
At last the chief called him and asked
him tho same question, and ho said, "I
have told two of your people already that
1: have forty dinars sewed up in my
clothos."
tic ordered the clothes to be ripped open,
and found the money.
"And how came you to tell this?" said
ho." "Because," replied tho child, "I
would not be false to my mother, to whom
I promised never to tell a lie."
"Child," said the robber, "art thou so
mindful of thy duty to thy mother at thy
years, and am I insensible at my ago of
the duty I owe to my God? Give me thy
hand that I ►nay swear repentance on it."
Ho did so, and his followers were all struck
with the scene.
"You have been our loader in guilt,"
said they to the chief, "be the same in the
path of virtue;" and they instantly made
restitution of spoils, and vowed repentance
on the bo,y's hand.
There is a moral in this story, which
goes beyond the direct influence of the
mother on the child. The noble sentiment
infused jute the breast of the child is again
transfused from breast to breast, till those
who feel it know not whence it (tame.
