DISCOVERY OF THE FALLS OF
NIAGARA.
The following description of the discovery
of Niagara is by Gait. Two young missiona-
ties, Price and Worthington, were the first
Europeans who beheld this wonder of nature.
Mniook is an Indian guide.
On rising one morning, they remarked
that large clouds of smoke were drifting
over their heads, accompanied by an over-
powering pressure of heat, which the lit-
dians said was occasioned by tlie woods be-
ing on fire ; and as the wind was high,
showers of ashes frequently ft-ll around
them. To avoid these they took shelter
in their wigwams; but the hotness of the
air, together with the smoke increased so
much, that, being in danger of suffocation,
the chief proposed that they should cast
themselves into the Oneida; and as no
better proposition could be made, they
hurried into it, and remained with only
their heads above nater,'being often obli-
ged to imiiicise them likewise. They
were thus situated many hours, while the
Water was black with the ashes that fell
around them. The wind at last, to their
great joy, changed, and relieved them
from their perilous situation bygdriving the
flames in a contrary direction. They did
not, however,quit the water,as the ground
was still covered with burning enibers.——
On leaving the river, they saw, to their
mortification, that the village was on fire
in several places, and it was sometime be-
fore they succeeded in stopping the pro-
gress ofthe burning; the canoes which
they had drawn up on the shore were also
consuming. After repairing the damage
and making other canoes, they began their
expedition: and having paddled for several
days, one calm and beautiful evening they
were astonished at the sight of Lake On-
tario. As far as the eye could reach they
could only see what appeared to them

thencontinued paddling round the shore,
looking out for a place where they might
safely moor their canoes during the night,
and among the many small inlets, they
soon discovered one fitted for their purpose,
which they immediately entered. At
stiiirise they again advanced on their
adventurous expedition. As they coas-
ted along, tho deer would sometimes
look at them from among ' the thick-
ets which fringed the borders of the lake;
and at other times they saw them swimming
across the mouths of the various creeks or
rivers which they passed in their progress,
They were, however, too much engaged
in admiring the lonely magnificence of the
surrounding scenery to interrupt the play-
ful gambols of the deer by endeavoring to
wound them, which they only did when
their necessities compelled. Thus. they
paddled onward for several days, without
perceiving any thing that might lead them
to suppose they were appraacliiiig the spot
to which the old Indian had alluded; when,
one hazy morning, having proceeded many
miles before the sun had power to dispel
the thick mists, they were delighted at
seeing themselves,as the air at noon clear-
ed, about to enter a large river which flow-
ed rapidly into the Lake. As this in some
measure coincided with the first part of
what had been related to them, they de-
termined on entering it ; but, after pad-
dling up it for sometime, the current grew
so strong that they were compelled to dis-
embark, and continue their journe b

bank.
The wind softly blowing,rusiling among
the trees, but sometimes they fancied iiiai
a distant rumbling could be distinguished.
Having followed the course ofthe stream
-along the edge of the cliff for some dis.
tauce, Price proposed that one of them
should ascend a tree, and follow the course
ofthe river upward with his eye, and try
if he could discover whence the sound that
reached them arose. Maiook therefore
told one of his Indians to climb up a lofty
pine, which grew apart from the rest; and
he had hardly ascended half way, when,
uttering a cry of astonishment, he hasten-
ed to the ground and told his comrades
that he had seen immense clouds of spray
rising far above the trees, but he could not
perceive from what cause they arose.-..
Encouraged by this report, after refresh.
ing themselves, (being much wearried by
their toilsome march) they hastened along
the edge of the cliffs, while the rushing
sound that had been gradually increasing
was every instant becoming more 5,; more
tremendous, and the velocity of the st,-cam
made them imagine that the‘ e in the

vancing from the thick bushes, they sud-
denly found themselves upon the bare
ledge ofa rock which overhung an im-
mense chasm, IIIIO which two streams and
a mighty river were tuiublitig, with a noise
that drowned all their exclamations of sur-
prise, and which was louder than the voice
ofthe ocean in a storm. Spritiging back
with terror from the edge of the precipice
over which they had so nearly plunged,
they eyed the thundering atid foaming tor-
rent with anmzcment; and noticing that
part ofthe rock on which they had just
been standing was tottering, and slowly
separatingitself from the adjoining mass,
till roused by the crash with which it was
precipitated into the gulf below, shaking
the leaving rock from whence it had been
detached, 6.5 resotindir.g tltruugli the woods
far above the roaring of the stupendous
cataract, The missionaries involtiiitarily
leaped back among the trees, not daring
[0 return to the place where they had been,
and viewed with tiiore composure the aw-
ful prospect before them. The river a-
bove the falls was for some distance a'furi-
ous rapid, rushing with incredible force to-
wards the precipice ; but when on its very
brink, it, in some parts ofthe great stream,
became caltn ; " other parts were white
Wlill foam. VVhile thus engaged, Maiook,
with a loud cry, directed their attention to
a large deer, which, in vain, struggling a-
gainst the overpowering action ofthe falls,
was rapidly coming to destruction. They
watched its fruitless endeavors to reach
the shore ; but on arriving at the deceitful
calm, it looked wildly with distended nos-
trils and 0lllSll'ClClll-'.(l neck, and seemed to
be cry ing, but the roar ofcataracts, drown-
ed its voice, and it was soon precipitated
into the boiling abyss.

Price and his companions believed they
were the first who had penetrated to that

settleinenls, their descriptioti ofthe unpar-
alclled iiiagiiificéuce of the cataracts to
which Maiuok gave the name of Niagara,
or the thundering waters, was deemed in-
credible. But the wilderness has now
been banished from the scene, and festiv-
ity and commerce have there established
themselves amidst the subliniity that
distinguishes this, the most impressive
spectacle ofthe kind to be seen on the
whole earth.

THE YANKEE PEDLAR.
Joshua Peabody was one ofthe five sons
ofa Connecticut farmer, who had just e-
nough to support one family, and no more;
so that all the sons but tltc eldest early
discovered the necessity of resorting to
some business, in which they could sup-
port themselves by their own exertions.—
Long before Joshtia was of age, he had
determined to pursue the honorable em-
ployment of pedling. In the fall of the
year in which Joshua was 19, he obtained
his father's consent to try his skill in the
employment he had chosen. and -v---‘.""'
eauimied in fir-~ -'1“: sl.l'Ie‘""’t wnh a
crazy cart and half stnrvcd 110559: 03 W35
the custom filly years ago; but with a sub-
stanllal, well made and well-fed horse, and
covered waggon glowing with all the col-
ours of the l'alnl)uw—-—tirnamented with
curtains, and trimmed with maiiv a vard
of red cotton fringe. His load ryequires it
minute description, as it is often thought
very wonderful, that a pedlar can travel a
thousatid miles and back,and make monev,
by selling out a load which does not ap-
pear to be worth half enough to defrav
his expeiices. '
The most bulky part of our liero’s load
consisted of wooden clocks tvitliout cases,
which cost two dollars and fifty cents a
piece, on which he expected to make a
profit of what he called teti per cent. that
in, ten times as much as they cost. Some
forty or fifty of iliese were snugly stowed
on the bottom ofthe waggon, and a nice
lid shut over them to keep them secure.-
On this lid were placed a bag full of whip-
lashes, a few parcels ofsigars, and a num-
ber of boxes containing all the variety of
combs, froui coaise horn louse-ti'apsto'su-
perfine ivory and higli-firiished tortoise
shell. . The fore part of the waggon box,
on which he expected to sit, constituted a
seprate apartment, the approach to which
IS secured by a formidable pad lock which
dangled in front. This box contained an
assortuient, on the profits of which he was
to subsist liimselfand his horse; and con-
sisted of a great variety ofgood-for-nothiiig
little things, which women are so fond of
ptircliasing—-such as beads, ear rings,
breast pins, and all the little etceteras of
Jewelry; besides a good store of essences,
shaving soap, scissors, thread, needles, pins
and stillettoes, IIOI. daggers, my friends,
but little instruments made of ivory, which
the ladies use for piercing round holes in
muslin, for the express purpose of daruing
them up again. '
Joshua’s dress had nothing of antique
mode. His hat had a biim that was no
broader than usual, and his hair was not
tied with an eel skin; bttt his outward man
was clothed in the substantial, comfortable,
fear-nothing style ofan itidependent unas-
5"m"‘g l‘"‘mt§l‘. Thus equipped, Joshua
made a comfortable excursion to Ohio,-
and the satne was annually repeated for
seve_ral.years. In every voyage mime.--
nus incidents occurred, of suflicient Impor-
tanc_e to deserve a place in some of our
fashionable periodicals, with all their min.
me details spun out itito the formidable
length of most modern tales, in which a
page is taken up in telling what fifty years
ago would have been told in a single line.
One_ofthese occurrences, it is my humble
PFOVWCB 10 relate, and that with all
convenient brevity.
_ In Josliua’s fourth voyage, he had with
him it larger number of clocks than usual ;
on ad- and would willingly have sold them at a
less price than formerly, but for the fear
that it would injure his business, and low-
er the price Ofhis clocks for ever after.-—-
He, therefore, wisely concluded to. keep
up the price to twenty five dollars as usual;
and when he could do no better, to take
any thing that was offered for ten‘;_ofit,pro-
vided the remaining fifteen was paid in
cash. In this manner he obtained a great
many queer articles; and in many instan-
ces had to exert a goodly share ofingenui-t
ty to dispose of them to advantage. One
farmer insisted on his taking stock as he
termed it, to which Joshua readily agreed.
The old gentleniani had in his mind's eye,
at the time of making the proposition, a
calf, which was so poor he was afraid it
would die before spring. Tlie-said calf
was selected, and with all due formality
was delivered to our hero. He itiade no
objections; but with his usual grayity
pocketed his fifteen dollars—-tied a rope
round the calf’s neck—hitclied it to the
back ofthe waggoii and drove on. Great
wonder prevailed tlirnuglinut. the cou ‘try,
to see the pedlar with so nicati a calf or.
indeed with any kind ofa calf, tied to tho
waggon; and many were the questions
asked concerning so rare an occurre cc.
ButJoshu:i was as grave as ever. He
knew his own business,aud that was en glt
for his purpose. In one of his ped ing
voyages he had formed an acquaint cé
with “Squire Leela nil,” as he was ct ed
in Licking county, who had long bee in
the habit of reading whatsoever cam in
his way, that treated on agriculture; ml
was extremely anxious to improve ibis
breed of cattle and sheep. In fact he ail
paid a large sum of money the yeir beliro
for a merino btick and ewe, by \VlIlCll4l.lB'
had acquired so much celebrity, tliatillie
was looked up‘ to with wonder by a patio
his neighbors, and laughed at by the t — t.
To the Squire's, then, Joshua mad his
way—-not that he had the least wi ’
cheat his old friend. He was too I tiesl
for that; for he was in the habit of
ing that he cheated nobod_v—-told it lies,
‘-and never travelled a road which lif
afraid to travel again. “. But then," t o’i
Joshua, “ ifilie Squire has a tniiid to cl at
himself, it’s nobody’s business. I c n’t
be to blfimi.”
Ills reception at the house of his ld
acquaintance was as cordial as he c ld
have desii'ed,and the evening was s
first time noticed the calf. “ Why, J li-
un, what in the name of comnton 5 se
have you got there F" “ Nothing
poor, mean,lousy,calf,tliat’salll" “ ut
what did you bring it here for 'l” I’ll' ell
you what, Squire, it’s a pretty consid a-
ble long story, and a foolish on to
boot; btit I nitist tell it. to you. You It ow
give me fifty dollars, and make otit a wri-l
tiiig withyour name to it, that any time
within six months the General may have
the critter, by paying you back the money,
and paying for the expetise and trouble of
keeping him.” "“ I’ll do it," says the
Squire; but hark ye, Joshua, tell him a
pretty hard bad story about the bull, and
discourage hint if you can.” “ Well,
Squire, you maytake the calf; but I slian’t
tell notliitig to the General, nor nobody
else, that a’nt true. But in this case the
truth is bad enough : and I rather guess he
woti’t come. And now, Squire, remem-
ber wiiat_ I tell you=—I’d rather have one
calffrom our old biindle cow than to have
halfa dozen sick critters as this .is—l
wouldn’t give fourpcnce--lia’penny for
him.” The Squire smiled saguly, and
said as plain as any man can say without
speaking, “ I know what I’ni about."—-
Jushua pocketed his money, and departed
with the gravity ofa sexnn ; arid the Squire
commenced nursing his calf. By tlitit of
uncoiuuioii attention and double feeding he
soon began to thrive, and in due time be-
came the wonder of the neighborhood.-
Tlie mistake was never discovered. Josh-
ua continued to make the Squiie‘s house a
regular stopping place ; but a close obser-
ver could see a kind of queer expression
in the corner of his eye, when he heard
the rieiglibors extolling Squire -Le‘eland’s
Devonshiie Bull.
KEEP YOUR DISTANCE, sin.——A young
chip ofthe law, who was recently ground
out of a law mill in a neighboring County,
having got ready to open a shop for him-
self,travelled _into the interior of this Coun-
ty, till he came to a place where two
roads met, and where there was nolawyer,
and there struck out his sign. sit himself
f down, crossed his legs, mended his pen,
and waited for the call ofliis clients. The
inhabitants ofthe town drew nigh and cast
very suspicious looks at the sign. It was
a sight they were not accustotiied to;—
, they thought they smelt a rat, and fearing
that some mischief was brewing, they mus-
tcretl their forces, marched up to the sign,
pulled it down, gave it to the lawyer, and
told liiui iflie wanted to stick up such things
as that, he must go to some other towii.——
For they had always been a tolerably
peaceable comniuiiity. and they did not
want any thing there that tvould be likely
to set them together by the ears. The
young squire tried to reason the case with
them of the advantage of having a profes-
siotial man among them to defend and pro-
tect their legal rights, doc. &c. But they
told him that it was not a case to be argu-
ed, and he must take tip his sigu&, march.
Accordingly finding the current to strong
to be stemmed, he departed in quest of
some other vacant cort:er.—1IIass.papcr.
