As we approached the inn at Amherst the clockmaker grew uneasy. It's pretty well inthe évening, 1 guess, said hepand Marm Pugwash, is as onsartin in her temper as a mornin in April; it's all sunshine or all clouds with her; and if she's in one of her tantrums, she'll stretch out her neck, and hiss like a goose with a flock of goslings. 1 wooder what on airth Pugwash was thinkin on when he signed articles of partnership with that woman. She's not a bad looking piece of furniture neither; and it's a proper pity such a clever woman should carry such a stiff upper lip-she reminds me of our old minister, Joshua Hopewell's apple trees. 'The old ministet had an orchard of most particular good frait, for he was a great hand at buddin and graftin, and what not, and the orchard (it was on the south side of the house) stretched right up the road. - Well, there were some trees hung over the fence, I never seed such bearers, the apples hung in ropes, for all the world like strings of on- fons, and the fruit was beautiful. Nobody touched the minister's apples; and when oth- er folks lost theirn by the, boys, hisn always hung there like a bait to a hook, but there was never so much as a nibble at them. © So I said to him one day, Minister, how on airth-do you manage to keep your fruit that is so exposed, when no one else can'tdoit no how. _ Why, says he, they are dreadful I guess, says I, there aint the like on 'em in all Connecticut. Well, says he, I'll tell yow the secret, but you needn't let on to no one about it. That are row next the fencé I grafted myself, and I took a great deal of pains to get the right kind; I seut clean up to Ro&bury and down to Squaw creek, (I was afraid he would give me day and date for every graft, being a terrible long winded man in his stories.) So, says I, I know that, Minister, but how do you preserve them? ,. Why, 1 was goin to tell you, says he, when you stoppeil ime.- That are: outward row L grafted myself with the choicest kind I could find, and I succeed- ed. 'Theyuare so »eternal_ sour,; no human' soul can-eat them. ~~ Well, the. boys think [that ~all of the old minister's grafting} has shcceeded as well as that row, and: they sarch 'o further. | They snicker at m graftin, and I laugh in my.Sleeve at their penetration. _ Now, Marm Pugwash is like the minister's apples, very temptin fruit to look at, 'but desperate sour.\ , If Pugwash hada watery mouth when henarried her, I guess it is pretty puckery by this time. However, if she goes to act ugly, Pll give her a dose of soft sawder, that will take the frown off her frontispiece, and; make. her dial plate. as smooth as a lick of copal var- nish. | It's a pity she's such a kickin devil, for she has good points, good foot, neat pat- tern, clean set of limbs, - But here we are, and now you will see what a. dose of soft sawder will do. 102 R When we entered the house, the travéler's room was all in darkness, and on opening the opposite door into the sitting room, we found the female part of the family extin- guishing the fire for the night Mrs. Pug- wash hada broom in her hand, and was in the act-the 'last act of female housewifery -of sweeping off the hearth. 'The strong flickering light of the fire, as it fell on her (all fine figure and beautiful face, revealed a creature worthy of the clogkmaker's com- ments. - Good evening, marm, »said. Mr. 'Slick, how do you do, and how is Mri Pugwash? He, said she, why he has been abed this hour; you dont expect to disturb him this time of night, I* hope. Oh n9, said Mr. Slick, certainly. not, and I 'am sorry to have disturbed -you, but we got detained longer said she, but if Pugwash will keep an ifn when he has no occasion to,. his family can't expect no rest. \ ok, Here, the clockmaker seeing the storm gathering;-stooped.down suddenly, and star- ing intently, held out his hand, and exclaim- ed-well, if that aint a beautiful child; come here; my little man, and shake bands with me-well,. I-declare, if that aint. the finest child Lever seed-what, not abed yet? Ah, .you rogue, where did you get themare pret 'I ty rosy cheeks; stole 'em from mammy, cht. . Well, I wish my old mother éfihjd- see that child, it is such a treat. In our.country, said he;: turning. to me, the children are as pale:as chalk, or as.yallef as an orange- Lord, thatvareliltlefellgw would be a show in -our country-come to me, my man.- Here..the -* soft sawder' began to operate. Mrs. Pugwash said in a milder fone than we bad yet heard, go, my dear,to'the gentlefian -go, dear,. . Mr. Slick kissed him, asked if he would go to the States. along with him, told him all the little girls there would fall in love with him;, for they didn't -see such a beautiful face once in a month of Sundays. Black eyes-let me see-ah! mammy's eyes too, and black hair also; as I am alive, you are mammy's own boy, the very. image of mammy... Do be seated,\ gentlemen, said Mrs. Pugwash. Sally, make a fire in the. other room. .She ought to be proud of you, he continued. Well, if I live to return here I must paint your face, and have it put on my clocks,. and our folks will buy the clocks for the sake of the face. Did yowever see, continued he, again addressing me, such a likeness between one being aud another, as between this beautiful boy and his mother? i am sure you have had no supper, said Mrs. Pugwash to me; you: must be hungry and! weary too, I will getyou a cup of tea. 1 am sorry to give you so much trouble, says TI. Not the least trouble in the world, says she, but a pleasure. We were then shown into the next room,. wherea fire -was now blazing up; but Mr. Slick protested he could not proceed without the little boy, and lingered behind me to as- certain his-age, and: concluded by asking the child if he had any aunts that looked like mammy. C #C a As the door was closed, Mr. Slick said, it's a pity. she dont go. well in the gear.. The difficulty-with those critters is to get them .to 'start; arter that there's no trouble with them, if you dont check them too short. If you do; they'll stop again, and run back and kick like mad; and then Old. Nick shimself could 'not start'em.. . I guess Pugwash dont under- stand the nature-of the critter; she'll never go kind in harngss for him. When I see a child, said the 'clockmaker, I always feel safe with these women folks; for I have al- ways found 'that the road 'to a woman's heart lfes through her child.. .. * MONEY, GENIUS, VIRTUE. . Money is -a lord-genius is a starviing- viitue'is a poor self-denying, self-torturing ascetic in this world. Money wraps himself in a scarlet robe, reclines. on an ottoman, and sips champagoe, while Bolus cracks his checks out of doors. - He knows no wants that remain unsupplied-he lias no desires that do not grow fatlike aldermen-he has no insatiable longings after the inapproach- able-he has no. ambition: that sickens for want of food. Tike Failstaf, he takes his ease in his inn, regardless of the cold winds whistling round the roof, and not fearing to be disturbed by the bailiffs to this world, or that prince of builiffs, death, who carvies all of us in our seasons into the great limbs .of eternity. | Thus is. money a lord-deny it, who dare? ' f _ Genius is a miserable Fellow, dressed in fantastics, and sitting astride of a rainbow. Around him the winds of flie north,; and the south, of the east and west, blow like fam- ished wolves, or whisper of .good things which he may hope for but must not reach. He is'cmrtlm rainbow among the clouds, and fancies that their shapeless mists are as bril- liant'as the dark-oyed Georgians. From his ® high estate,\ he looks down contemptuously 'on: what the vulgar world beneath. him es- 'teemsivaluable. . Fe is u. poor fatless, flesh- less, bloodloss wretch:-and while his stomach yearns for the -goods things which deck the lordling's board, his tongue is eloquent of scorn for them. There is little sympathy] y between his brain and his stomach, let phy- siclogists say what they may-fFor while the, one sighs for the manna, which cometh not down from heaven, but which escapeth the lips of those who praise, the other craveth the crumbs which his skeleten fingers dis- dain to pick up. - 6C ‘Viy'meyis stilt worse off than his forty-se- cond :cousing the lean visaged genius. = He's a'neglected creature tliat every body kicks, while 10 one bestows a copper ob him. - He crawleth on his knees'through the mud of this the prettiest 'of planets, since Pleiades explo- ded. He casteth his eyes upwards to hea- ven, and all the gifts he gets come from above. | The wisest virtue is that which is so fortunate as fo live in an age when martyr- dom is fashionable; for then it may stand a chance of being huddled of neck and hecls into Elysium. ~But in these degenerate days, when it cannot even procure the death war- rant of Judge Lynch, virtue is badly off; for it must draw its oft-wounded length along un- til, arrived at the verge of this world, it takes a plunge, notas Hobbes said in the dark, but into that brighter region, where all its aspi- rations have previously gone. __ Thus itappearcth that money is incalculs- bly the greatest fellow of the trio. - He cares nothing about the whim-whams of genias, or the quim-quams of virtue.

Tt was yet however, novelty with, us, and the publicexperiments drew throngs to witness them. Among those to whom the intoxicating agent -was administered (on the occasion referred to) there clianced to be a little unfriendly boy who, in the instant.ec- stasy. -which the subtle fluid inspired, thretr himself into a tragicattitude and commenced declaiming & passage from one of Shaks- pearc's plays.

It needs.only to 'be cherish- ed and cultivated to bring forth goodly fruit. Gentlemen, the present chief magistraté of our city was that benevolent stranger, and your guest to-night, was that unfriendly boy.
