TIIIi•IiE ! INITUCICIAN IN BOSTON. Ralph Carter, (for such we will call-his name) was 'a merchant in a small'village on the• Banks of the Ohio, and. was in the ha ..bit'of visiting semi•annually, for _the pur chase of his regular supply of spring and fal'. goods, the cities of Baltimore and Phil adelphia. .•. His cqat was never of the: finest Cloth-nor his hat of the latest fashion: and being an inordinate lover of fun and frolic; he amused himself, by playing off on al most all occasions,. the Back tpoods Jona. Man. Balloon became a. noted character with the merchants in Chestnut street, and, es be always paid -ready money . for all his purchases his visits were particularly ac.. ceptable. , It was - soon,pretty evident, hoei ever, that this backwoodsman was no fool,. ;.but that he was 'ldeally one of the shrew : dest merchants who. visited - .Those mttrkets. At length beginning -to. suspect that his real character. was Pretty well comprehended in Baltimore and rhilitilelphir4and. »fishing for new theatre tor the displey.of ails feigned eccentricitiem, . where, they would ; again . have the recommendation of novelty, Ralph re9cdved mien paying a visit of a few 'days t. Beaten, the metropolis of Yankee land, and the mart of As he wag going nmnng entire strangers, ho provided Mins:lila Philadelphia with fine suit of blue, to be worn on great occa sions, or when his whim should • incline him to doff his , backwoods 'garb. This lirovided, and with his pockets well lined, with bank notes, he proceeded by the usual 'route to Boston where ho arrived towards evening in ono of the hottest days of 'Au gust. Alighting from the Providence train of cars, he ordered the buckman to deposit him and his baggage on fhe steps of the TremontHouse—the dalt House of Boston.. He had purposely arrayed him self in his coarsest suit of homespun, and pulled down over his eyes a shocking bad and most ungainly hat. Thus attired, he presented himself at the bar of the Tremont House, and asked 'if he might stay there that night. The bar keeper replied in the affirmative, though not without some evi dent signs of hesitation; and then placed the register before him for his name. 6 1 never give ,my note said Ralph-4'll pay yeti in advance,' pulling out of, his pocket a large roll of bank notes. 'I do not require your money in advance' said the barkeeper; but it is a rule to ask all travellers to register their names on taking their lodgings with us.' ' , None of your tricks, Mr. Bar kee . per' said Ralph. know you Yankees are up to tots of tricks; but, Mr. Bar keeper, (pla cing his thumb and giving 'ais fingers n gyratory motion,) you ca a-nt come it over this child. I'll pay you in advance; but you don't get this one's name, to any oI your d—d, paper. I've got the swiftest horse, the surest rifle, and the prettiest sis ter of any man either side of the Allege flies; and I'm able to pay down for all I buy Mr. Barkeeper." The barkeeper beginning to think the fellow something of a curiosity no longer insisted upon his registering his' name but ordered a servant to take his trunk to a certain number, (naming it,) which Was located at the very top of the house.-- Ralph set' out (the servant carrying his trunk) for the room assigned him. _Puffing and blowing, apparently 'much exhausted with heat and fatigue, he gained the dfe ofthe second flight of stairs, and then stopped the servant to inquire how much further they would have to' travel before they should come to the room. 'But a little further,' said the servant,come Ontfg.' 'Put down that trunk,' said Ralph author. itatively; cannot go another step' till I have rested myself. Here (givinihim two twenty five cent pieces) go way down There, and bring me up two juleps; keep tho other quarter yourself. Be quick, old hey.' The servant soon returned with two sparkling juleps. which he quaffed off with eager haste and great gusto. 'Now - take up this 'plunder,' said Ralph 'and we'll go ahead. 'But 'confound your skin, don't you take me many miles fur ther.' After ascending the third flight of stairs, the servant opened "a door and showed him into the room which ho was to occupy.— Threwing himself upon the bed, Ralph pagan to fan himself violently with his hat, apparently half dead with heat; and giving the servant a half a dollar, despatched him for four juleps. When these came, he drank off three of them, and made the eer vent drink the fouth, tellitig him that niter toting the trunk such n journey, and making two extra trips for juleps, he must certainly be in need of somothing.'—Then, giving him belle dollar, he dismissed him 'fur the present, and yielded himself up to repose and to the sweet influences of the juleps. Ralph was not disturbed by returning consciousness, ill the light of the next morning broke in upon his slumbers. He rose early; dressed himself .in' his new suit of blue, and was, again ready to act the cha• racier he had assumed though with some slight variations. Keeping his room till after the gong hatrsounded for breakfast, he descended to the region of the bar • and presented himself before the bar keeper; but so changed was hie whole appearance that the other did not recognize in him the half civilized Kentuckian of the evening before. Putting and blowing, like a '.man after a long walk he began: Ralph.—Well* Mr. Barkeeper I've ar• L rived. Barkeeper.—Well you're just io time (or breakfast. Ralph.—l did (1-74 well to get , hose at all. Give me a julep. Barkeeper.—ti ow far have you travelled this. morning. Rafph.—l don't know—a long 'ways. I started away up there at the top or . yOr Tower of Bable, and , have been ever since day break getting. here. - In the meantime the servant that had waited on Ralph the evening before , had given the other servants of the establish. meat to understand what a fine generous fellow the Kentuckian was; and, he coming in at this moment seized a brush and several other servants around taking the hint, they all flew at. the stranger with their brushes, and commenced operations upon him in the most approved and:scientific atyle l each beating.a.tuniaa he brushed: Ralph jump ed about, trying to escape from their clutch , es,'as though every brash' was armed 'with thorns and prickles, and - was "tearing the flesh at every touch.

Breakfait over Ralph amused himself with staling and wondering at every thing he saw about the . establiihment; and: by his. effectedgreenness and his odd drollery, soon drew around liirri a crowd effistooers. who gathered to study this curious specimen of humanity: By - an early hour he had made. a dead set at the juleps, repeating Olen and mita• Lineal! he could tie.e, to join him. All voted 'him a good fellew,' though a very odd a very green one. He was pronounced 'an original' and 'a curiosity,' and during the WholS day found no wont' of company. He talked with every ' body, and every body with him. and made himself just as much at home as though he had been the Governor of the Commonwealth of Massa chusetts.—At length wishing to cut an extra figure, he swagged up to the bar and asked 'if they had any shows in Boston?' Ho . 'was asked 'what kind of shows he would have.' .0, I ain't particular,' said IWO, • want to see a show of some kind."l'we, • or three merry fellaws standing near, who, had heard Ralph's inquiries, giving each other the hint, stepped up and told him if he would wait till night, he could go to a show just twines the street, (meaning the Tremont Theatre) the finest there was in , all . Boston.----Ralph said ho would be much, obliged to them, and Would pay for them all it they would go with him, and take him there; which they prornised to do, with the expectation of having a bit of fun out of the Kentuckian,' as . by this time he was generally knowe by that appellation: When night came, Ralph 'miler the es• coil of-his now friends, 'repaired to the Tremont Theatre. .The 'play. had not yet commenced. The party took seats in . ci fa vorable and conspicious part of the house, and awaited the. rising of. the curtain.—=, Ralph gated about with an aWkwere gatv. ky stare, upon every thing and every body wound him. The orchestra struck up and played soveral fine pieces. , Ralph gave little heed to the music, and seemed to be impatient for something more diver tipe..—"What kind of a show do you call tin t 's?' said he, loud enough to be heard by half tho theatre. 'Why this is no show at all. Where are the beastiest-,-Them fel. lore fidlin there are no account at all. Bob Walker, in old Kentucky can beat 'em all hollor.'—'HusleHuslir said his Roston friends, 'that painted.thing you .see there, ' the curtain, will 101 l up soon;' and Alien you'll see 'a first rate Show.' 'Any how,' said Ralph, 'its n pretty poor affair so far. We have much better shows in Old Kentuc ky. • I want to sew-beasties: • • - The curtain at length rose. Ralph was all attention; and as. the play .proceeded commented upon everything that was said and done. His comments. and exclama tions, were made so loud, as to attract the attention of a large . portion of the theatre- At length, in the. progress of the piece, n quarrel arose, and a sharp sword encounter ensued, in which one of the parties, awn , eatly the. weaker, seemed to be. getting .worsted.—'Stop!' shouted. Ralph, springing to his Teel and attempting. to strip off his coat; 'stop I can't see that. 'Hush! Hush!' cried his companions - seizing hint by the skirts of his coat, rind • pulling. him doWn, they're only in play!' . 'They're only in play l"Playr--playr .:exclaimed Ralph, • what- we call fightin in Old Kentuc ky,.and I .nover secit going on without In king a hand.-- 'Stop there, ou sennudrels. can't stand that any longer,' with this off came his coat.

Ralph Carter having now played his part to perfection and twins entire satisfaction . , made hie appearance the next morning M the character of a polished• well bred-geq: tleman, having so completely laid asi his' his' assumed backwoods greenness; as - t o. be scarcely recOgnizod even by his companions of the night before. All saw they had been handsomely quizzed, but bore it in silence.

Among those individuals who:should have been seen some whore else yesterday morning, might have been seen at Mr: Re corder Baldwin'a office of business,. a pro fessional follower of the great Faust,. vul garly known as a "jour printer." He yob a case—all sores of a case —a walking edi tion of the striped.pig, or in other words an uncorrected copy of the works of intemper• ance sewed up and bound by no tee.total rule of entire abstinence.

"Yes I had come to a: period, that is a fact, and the watchman made a parenthesis of his arms to raise me up, and a.. note, of admiration of my body, head downwards, while bringing me to this new, fangled press to have a proof taken" replied the jour.

Why he swore against me QE4 ifhis oath was stereo typedl---as if he knew me like . a .bonk,"— The Recorder told thismodern Faust that • he was impressed with the.eincerity of his deterrnination to reform, but that unless he got e'ime person other. then liim€ellioyou'cli for it, he must give him a slitut say' chitty days in the-calaboose.--Pic. tit 31 im But DS' N were . shown few days since. .a humming, bird's nest, , which wo cannot but ; pronounce one of the Most itrenious and perfect specimens of arc.hitecture we ever . saw. It is built of the (10%7) . of the meadow flag, (well known uniting children in the country as "pussy tails,") and' is fastened upon a limb apart from the lranches. It is quite deep and nearly cireiilar, With a small aperture at the top. The means which, the cunning bird employs to conceal if from'observat ion, are quite, worthy of a reasoning beiog.— The outside of the neat ,is perfectly covered with small pieces ,of moss gathered from the same limb on which the nest is built; giving the nest the .appearance', of. a smoll knot or wart upon the limb. ,The pieces of moss are woven on by fibres of the down, which, on close examination cnn be seen encircling the nest 'in every directlon, and render the external covering quite firm.— The.neets of this cunning little bird are so artfully concealed and disguised in this manner, that they are seldom found.— Lowell Courier.
