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

he amused himself, by playing off on al

purchases his visits were particularly ac..

ever, that this backwoodsman was no fool,.
;.but that he was 'ldeally one of the shrew :

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.

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

- 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,

with staling and wondering at every thing

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,

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,

came his coat. His companiontinow using
their utmost exertions, anceeededin taking
him almost by main strength, from the

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.
