during my youth, never dreaming tbat.I slioultl
one day be indebted for the saute peripateticail

iDuring the last war with Great Britain, I serv-
. ed in our army on the frontier. I was in many‘
. battles, btit managed tbruiigliout the whole of
‘the conflict to keep lead and cold iroti out of me.
I began to think myselfbullet pr()'.)f-—btit never
was 3 conjuror more mistaken, as I soon found
‘at the battle of Plaitsbnrgh, by the help of a can-
non ball. which took off my leg just below the
knee. This happened in the beginning of the
action. and I fell into the eneiny’s hands. We
gut the victory at last, as is well known. and
when the British retreated. I was carried by them
along with some of their own wounded. I was
-duly reported by the Art_'rerica.n rettirns “among
the missing," and my friends ttnugined me dead.
After lying some time in the British hospitals
. rwa, sent in Montreal, where I met with a ve-
ry ingenious French trgechanist. Wb0 filled {"9
i with a new litiib. so admirably constructed with
\springs and hinges, that alter a short practice.
I found myself able to walk with so much dex-
terity that it passed as a real bone and flesh of
my flesh. I was sent norne to Boston after.the
._peace. and received by my friends as one risen
from the dead. They little imagined of seeing
rnesafe and hearty. that I had one foot in the
£'°"9' . » . .
' Now, though I might have claimed and re-
céived a pension for the loss of my leg, yet I re-
iolved to keep the matter secret—a's who would
-not? Nobody wishes to be pitied for his wood-
en shins, when he can have the creditofogypipg

li'('ti\t3 part. niiil my foot broketltrotigh. It was
my wooili.-ii leg. niiil in my endeavors to extricate
ii, the unfortunate limb broke loose and fell iiiio
the ct-llnr.
Here was a terrible awkward situation for a
line gciitletitrin to be it). 'l‘liere was no getting
my leg out of its limbo, in the dark. and to ap-
ply for help would (Ii$C()\'8l' me. Luckily I had
my walking stick. and with the help of '.ItlJt,
niado shift to hobblc to my liitlgirigs, where I ar-
rived iiniliscovereil. thanks to the lateness of the
hour.’ But the dirliculiy was not over. I hail
lost my leg. and no one could rriake me such an-
other; or, ifit ('()lll(I be repliicetl, the ttiivg: C-ml-l
noi he (‘IIi:('l(?(I \‘-'llltt)ttl a delay of many days.
niiil the story would infnllilily get wind. \Vliiil
.<ll()llItl I do? I knew the house into which my
stray limb hail sit-pt, but was not on the right
icriiis with the occupant to trust him with the se-
tzret. This was the most unlucky circumstance
of all—-lie w.-is Joe Clttcliabout, a person with
\\lt()tl) I was ltt\’tiI\‘t:tI in a quarrel; and was
iiiori=o\'cr tin arraiit btisy-body. In short, ht:
was no man to entrust with the sccretofa shatn
leg.
At last a tliouglit struck me ofa method to get
my leg and save my credit, for I saw plainly that
wool-l he l(,‘l out of the bag. Itliottght of Beau
P)2Il)l)l(2l()lI, the foppisli fellow ttientionedabove,
as It pi-rsoiiage on \VIllilII I might with son'ie con-
:-ti-ietiizc, play the trick of fathering my lost
linili—I had got myself itito bad odor with his
.-i-'te't's and two or three score of their gossippiiig
fcnitileairqtiaiiitance, by means of his loppery
aiiil the insensibility of my tiiiibertoes, atitl I de-
lt‘t‘ttlllI(3(l to be revenged upon him by means of
the same intractable members. 'I‘lie plan was
tliis—-to send by a trusty servant a note to Mr.
Clackaboiit, requesting the leg in the natne of
Bean Babbleton, by which ineansl sliotild get
inv limb again without being suspected, and
Bean might accotint for the snperflutty of shin
bones in his own animal economy as well as he
was able-. , _ _ , ,
'l‘lie plan succeeiled to admiration; and muc'n
lieller than I lotrked for—for I had the luck to
sue a dorky passing under my window in the
morning, and liirti I sent olfwith the note. You
must judge the surprise and astonishment of Mr.
and Mrs. Clackaboiii and histwosislers. aslbey
sat at breakfast, when they received the Iollo\v-
inn: . . ._ .
7‘ Mr. Biibbleton’s cotnplitneiits to Mr. Chicka-
bout, and requests he will have the goodness to
despatch him his leg, by the bearer; it will be
found in the cellar. Mr. B. liopesto be excused
for stepping through Mr. C.’s cellar door last
evening.” _
Nobody knew what to make of this strange
epistle at first. One thought it D. hoax, but on
sending‘ into the cellar to examtne,_the leg was
ft.-and sure enough, and the breach in the cellar
where the misstep had been made. And then
what a staring and wonderme-.it there was
among the C1neka.btiutS at the discovery of Beau
B.,bbleton’s artifice. _Wbo would have thought
of it '!——tbey all excli11med—a tip-top dandy, a
buck of the first water, an irresistible creature
among the ladies; and yet doing all this with it
wooden leg! Oh! monstrops! . _
However, after-_ rt prctty c.ose sOI'l|'.l‘n_V of this
unfortunate limb, it was delivered to Duffy, who
passed for Beau Babb'eton’s servant, as no ques-
tion was asked, and my stray appendage brought
me without any discovery being made- NOW I
was Richard himself again, but Beau Babhleton
absolutely beside himself. Mr. Claclmbout
chanced to meet him the same forenoon. and
wished him joy on the recovery of his leg. Beau
replied that. his leg had’ nc-yer been ill.“ b _
“ Not ill, to be,sure, said Mr. C., ut terri-
b' out of joint.

* The Lord have itierccy on its ! This is aw ,

rueful glance at his favorite Mons Meg.
Tlicre was a moment of breatliless silence;
another fearful crash was heard, and the gigan-
tic brute, bursting forth into the open space,
brantlisbed aloft his ponilerous trunk, like al
knight enterimng the lists defying all comers,
scrcainetl forth his shrill note of defiance. He
was ii. stupendous aniiml, a perfect inountziiit ol
flesh full twelve feet high, with enormous tusks,
and his little twinkling red eye glared with the
fire of madness.
Flourishing his trunk about he snuffed the
taiiited air, and his scream of rage, its he stamp-
ed upon the ground, tiiiiiouziced that he was
aware of the close proximity of his enemies, al-
though he lrtd not yet decided in what direction
to make his headlong chrirge. .
‘ Now lads, stcatly, and reserve your fire till

The elephiiiit started, cocked his ears, i’ttl'.‘l
bent down IllS.Il(%lJ.(.l in the attitude of listciiing.
He wasjtist in the right position, and Mansfield
was in the act. of raising his rifle, when. crack
went Mons Meg, with it report like asix~pou:id-
er, and the Doctor, tlii-owing down his weitpori,
took to his heels, roaring lnstily that the monster

got the better of him. and, by an involuntary
twitch of his forefitigars, he had pulled the trig-
ger when he had least expected it.
Mansfield and Charles fired, and both balls
took effect in the head of the elepl'iant, imikiiig
the blood flow copiously ; but being discliarged
almost at random, and not planted in the correct.
spot, they only noted as stimulants to his rage.
Utteringa. shrill scream, he dashed madly for-
ward, his mouth wide open, his tail on end, and
his trunk upraised, to crush all which apposed
his headlong career-
Mansfield and Charles darted to one side, and
{let} for shelter behind the stem of a large teak
tree: bu‘. the poor Doctor, whose senses were
completely bewildered, ran blindly forwiird, and
his red _ja.cket, being much too conspicuous an
object. to escape the notice of the enraged ele-
phant, his fate appeared inevitable. In vain did
the panting wretclt twist, ttirn,_ and tlotlge
amongst the trees, like It hunted Jacltal. lite
destroyer was close at his heels, following eve-
ry turn with the perseverance of mortal liiite.-—
Hts strength was failing first, and the fearful
chase appeared to be drawing to a close. The
trunk of the elephant was already stretched for-
ward to grasp him, when lie made a sudden turn ;
the elephant: ovei-shot his mark, and, for_ out
moment, was at fault. apparently uncertain in
which direction his victim had fled. , The Doc-
tor, seeing his advantage, btgan, with all dili-
gence to clitnb the tree behind which he had
sheltered himself. He was already several feet
frotn the ground, and his arm was outstrtitched
to grasp 8. I)l'3.t‘iCIl which would have raised into

a hasty glimpse of him, dashed at him with re
doubled fury, twisted his trunk round his legs,
hurled him tothe ground, rushed upon him, as he
lay, stunned and bleeding, and kneeling down,
drove at him furiously, with his enormous tasks,
burying them up to the very root.

the people that their liighest interest is in main-
taining that Union.’ Li-t it but hold togctlier for

tions to sever us. Now is the time to labor for

the internal improvements which in the end will -
rnake it iriitnovable, aIIurd to the sons of Massa-
cliuseits the means to carry with them all over
the lanil the iiiielligence, free priticiplcs. and
love of liberty by which they have ever been
actuated. Indeed. in aildressirig you upon the
present occasion, I considenmyself as only dis-
charging the high duty of interchanging and
cointiiingling the sentiment and opinions ofdifler-
em and distinct portions of the Utiion, and of
uniting to prodtice between them a unison of
feeling, calculated most etfectuztlly to repel the
iiiiempis of wicked men to persuade ihetn that
their interests are dissimilar and can only be
furthered by disuiiion; as though the common
.-hip 3:: t*_'E:'::-E; ‘we an: embarked, and of whose
safe arrival at bcr destined port we ought to en-
tertain no doubt. were already gone to pieces.
and our great object ought to be to choke each
other from the floating planks. and even at the
expense of each oiher‘s safety, to preserve our-
selves antl gain the shore.’
Such are the doctrines openly avowed by some
of the most strenuous supporters oftiie adminis-
tration; but fortunately the time is close at hand
when the people instead of longer pursuing a
tnere will-of-the-wisp which when attained. de-
generates into a disgusting miicilage, shall see
rising before them the steady and glorious light
of the constitution, pointing out the support of
the Union and of the great iii.-tituiions of our
common country. the true source of real and
permanent prosperity. It is a hiistake to sup-
pn,e that we hold these institutions as our own,
to be (li5p().~‘f‘LI of at our own pleasure, as we
might sellan ox or an ass in the shambles. No!
there are others. ten tliousiind generations,yet to
emerge from the stream of time, already await-
ing with anxious hearts and expectant hands the
legacy of our fathers and theirs; for though in
our institutions there is nothing hereditary, yet
the institutions themselves are so; they are
heirlooms which -as we received them frotn ctir
fathers, we are bound to transmit to our children.
