AN UNWELCOME PASSENGER
sport B. 12.
A,cold winter's night, several years
since, found a stage load -of- passengers
gathered together around a warm fire of
a tavern bar room in a New England,
village. Shortly atter we arrived, a
peddler drove up and -- ordered that his
horse should be stabled for the-night.- . -
After we had eaten supper we repaired_
-to 'the bar room, where -conversation
flowed freely. Several anecdotes had
been related, aad Jitnilly the peddler
was asked to give us a story, as the men
of his profession were generally full of
adventures and andedotes. He was a
short, thick s•et man, somewhere about
forty years of age, and gave evidence of
great physical strength. He gave his
name as Lemuel Vittney, and his home
was in Dover, New Hampshire.
"Well, gentle Men," lie commenced '
knocking the ashes from his pipe, and
putting it in his pocket, " suppose I tell
you the last thing of any consequence
that happened me. You see, lam now
right from the West, and on my way
home fdi• winter quartet's. It was du
ring the early part of last spring, one
pleasantevening, that I pulled up at the
door of a small village tavern in Han
eock,county, Indiana. I went in and
called for supper, and had my horse ta
ken care of. After I had eaten I sat
&Van in' the bar room. It began to rain
about eight o'clock, and it was very
dark out of doors. Now I wanted to be
in Jackson the ,next morning, for I ex
pected• a load of goods there for me,
which T intended to dispose of on my
way home. .
"The moon would rise about mid
night, and I Ilnew if it I did not rain I
could getalong tfirOugh the mud Very
well after, that. So I asked the landlord
if he would see that my horse -a as fed
'abinifinidnight, as I wished to be, off
about two. He expressed some surprise
at this, and asked me why I did not
stitYlfoa breakfast. I told him- that' I
-had sold my last load about out, and
that a uew lot of goods was waiting for
me at' Jackson, and I wanted to get
there pc fore the express agent left in the
morning. ,
"There was a number of persons sit
ting around while I told this, but I took
little notice-of them ; only one ma ested
myattention. I had seen that week a
notice for the detection of a notoriou s
iiibber.' . The bills gave a description of
his persop, and the man before me an.
atWered very well to it. • He-was a tall,
well i fiiritled titan, rather slight in frame, I
and had the,appearanee of agentleman
save that-hlg face bore those hard; cruel •
-tharkS which an observing anad cannot
'Mistake tOr anything but the index of a
aillininotts disposition.
: "Whahl. 'Went to my chamber I ask
eifthe'landlard who that man was, de
sefibing the individual. He said he did
atet..kriow him. Ile had come there that
afternoon, and intended to . 'leave the
next day. The host asked me why I'
wished to know, and I simply told him
that the man's countenance was famil
iar, and I merely wished to know if I
was'ever acquainted with him.
"4 Wits-resolved not to let the land
lordin the secret, but to hurry on to
,Jaelcsatis,"and there to give information
ti:4ll,a Olierflf, and perhaps might reach
the htli befdre the villainleft; for 'I had
no doubt as"to his identitY:' - •
, is' I had ,an alarm watch, and havitig.
se't it to give the alarm at one o'clock, I
went to sleep. I was alarmed at the
proper , tine, and immediately dressed•
myself. - - Whati I reached the yard I
found: the clouds all passed away, and
! the shoot. was shining 'brightly. The'
M
hostler Was easily aroused, and by -two
o'ehiek I 11 , 711 S on the road. The mud
was deep, and my horse could not travel
very fast. However, on we went, and
in the jentirse of half an hour I was clear
of the village. At a short distance:a
head -hty-a large forest, mostly of great
pine. The road lay directly through
this woetl, _and, as near as I can reinem
'her; the distaneewas twelve Miles. Yet.
the moan Was in' the east, and as the
roadiran nearly in the west, I thought
I should have light enough.
Ited entered this wood and had 'gone
about- half a mile, when my_ wagon
wheel'settled with a bump and a jerk
into-a deep-hole.' I uttered an exelruna
tion of astonishment, but this was not
'ail: Iheard another exclamation fYom
the SAM& source. What could this
mean ? I looked quietly around, but
could :tee nothing ; yet Iknewthat the
sound was very close to me. 4.s the
'hind wheels came up, I felt something
thesides' the jerk from time hole. I heard
something tumble from one side to tiro
,ther of ray wagon, and I could also feel
the jaroceasioued by the movemenL-L-
It was :simply a man in, my cart I
knew this on the instant. Of course I
felt puialed. At first 'I imagined that
some one .had taken this method to iob-
Wu a tide. My next idea was' that
someone hadzot in to sleep there; but

A PEDDLER'S STORY
this passed away as soon as IL came, for
no man would have broken into my cart
for that purpose. And that thought,
gentlemen',' opened my eyes. Whoever
was there had broken in. My next th o'
was of the suspicious individual I had
seen at tile tavern. He heard me say
that my load was all sold out, and of
course he supposed I had some money
with me. In this he was right, for I
had over two thousand dollars. I tho't
he meant to leave the cart when he sup
posed I had reached a safe place,. and
then creep over and shoot me, or knock
me down. All this passed through my
mind by the time I had• got a rod ,from
the hole.
In a few, moments my resolutions

FALSE CALVES, BOSOMS,ANDPLIIMP
ERS.—The false calves now so "much in
vogue are rendered necessary by the
new style of tilting hoops, which go
very far towards exposing what was be
fore only dreamed of, of existed only in
imagination. In the language of an ex
change:
" Their calves aro nut a fleeting show,
Fur man's illusion given ;
They're filled with bran or stuffed with tow,
• And swell about a foot or so,
And look first-rate, by heaven."
The false bosoms are made of fine
wire, in the shape of a bird's nest, with
a small spring in them, and really look
and feel quite natural.
The plu mpers are fastened on the teeth
in such a manner as to make the face
look round and plump, and are calcula
ted to deceive the unsuspecting. Young
gentlemen need have no fears—they are
all right, and need no artificial tLxins
but we advise them not to marry a
Yankee girl without a full investigation.
A STORY OF THE Toi.Es.—ln the midst
of the late excitement, and at the mo
ment when every body thought all the
banks were going to the dogs together,
Jones rushed into the bank of which be
was a stockholder, and thrusting the
certificate into the face of the transfer
clerk, he said, in great haste:
" Here, please transfer half that to Jas.
P. Smith !"
The clerk looked at it, and asked,
'Which half, Mr. Jones'?"
I don't care which half," replied
Jones, puzzled at the inquiry.
" You had better go the courts ; I
can't make the transfer without a legal
decision. If you really wish to trans
fer your other half to Mr. Smith, we
can't do it here."
Jones was confounded. He knew the
bank, were all in a muddle, but this was
too deep for him. He took his certifi
cate from the hand of the smiling clerk,
and on looking at it, lo! it was his mar
riage certificate ! Being a printed form,
on fine paper, and put away among his
private papers, it was the first thing
that Mr. Jones laid hands o>i when he
went to hissecretary for his bank stock

glad to find she hadn't been transferred
to Mr. Smith, and, taking the right pa

time to get it all straight.
"C.osmo," in the Philadelphia Satur
day Evening Post, gives the following
faetA worth remembering:
It is worth while, for all farmers eve
rywh;ere, to remember that thorough
Pulttere is better than three mortgages
on their farm.
That an offensive war against weeds,
is five times less expensive than a defen
sive one.
That good fences always pay better
than lawgnits with neighbors.
That hay is a great deal cheaper made
in the summer than purchased in the
winter.
That a horse who lays his ears hack
and looks lightning when any one ap
proaches him, is vicious. Be sure and
not buy him.
That scrimping the food of fattening
hogs, is a waste of grain.
That over-fed fowls won't lay eggs.
That educating children is money
lent at a hundred per cent.
That one evening spent at home in
study, is more profitable than ten loung
ing about country taverns.
That cows should always be milked
regularly and clean.
"It is proposed that the patent pulpit

ratus something in the shape of a can
dle-extinguisher. This was to descend,
so as, in exactly fifteen minutes, to com
pletely extinguish the clergyman, and
of course his sermon could never exceed
that period in duration. Eight minutes
after the sermon bad commenced, a loud
premature snap or click was toannounce
the commencement of the extinguish
er's descent; and it is stated that upon
several private trials, no clergyman
could be found who had the nerve to
continue his sermon, after hearing this
