greatly endangering the lives and health of
thousands. And that the practice ofthis branch
of the medical profession should lead to the
treatment of iliseases. apparently remote, l'rom

strange. that the mechanical operations should

MISCELLANY.
THE TORY GALLANT.
BY WALTER eixiicr.
In the Revolutionary War, while the
British forces were in possession oftlie city
of New York, a young oflicer rode up to an
inn which he had been credibly lnf0l‘n')PCl'
was tinctitred with Toryisni. although it
was forty miles from the city. He rode a
beautiful horse that seemed perfectly trained
to his service, and his dress was neat and
tritumcd to an unusual di-gree. What with
ar-eguiar face and fair complexion, a red
coataud trimmed as if it were but a day old,
buffsmall clothes and boots in_ the military
style, and a snow white plume that nodded
over his brow, he was an object to entrap a
whole coterie of damsels. and to bring every
man ‘to bay, Whig or Tory, long enough
to get‘ one look at hitn.’ lle dismounted,
gave his horse to an ostlcr, and stepped up
the platform. _.
The landlord was it stoutly built man,
having high cheek_bones and rather a large
mouth; but these. marks of physiognomy,
which might indicate a choleric and sensual
character, were opposed by the double ex-
pression that lurked in his smzill blue eyes, a
traitthat would puzzle an entire stranger who
his real character. He saw at once that
the stranger was fttlly aware of his oivn im-
portance as a British Officer, and treated
him accordingly. The officer, as we have
said, had been informed that the landlord
was at heart a Tory. although the Whigism
ofthe village made it imprudent for him to
blaze. it abroad. Moreover there were two
or three brother officers lodging in the
next town who he had left behind. ‘ Being
anxious,’ as he afterwards said, ‘to pass a
few days in this charming hamlet, and to
ascertain those particulars in regard to the
fairer portion of its population which every
gallant is bound to note upon the tablet of
his re~col lec-tion.’
‘ Ha, Landlord,’ said he, as he caught a
slight glimpse of his host.
‘ Your servant. sir l’ was the host’s re-
ply. We ought to have mentioned our
landlord’s name before. but we hate inter-
lining; so here it is, Eliakim Roggles.
‘I think it probable. landlord,’ said the
officer, ‘that I can find accommodation
within your house for a transient visit a few
days-—you understand me.’ ‘

:.t:riositv, btit Mr. I{l]'_;'g'l'€S maintained his
grave, dubious ph_vsiogi'iomy.
‘ VVliy,——at at skirmish near Boston, con-
tinued the captain, I wastziken prisoner. but
the scalesturned. I saw a stout regiment of
ours not far off—knoclied one guard down—
brtslietl by another—-run a gauntlet along a
shirp fire ofirttislrctry ; swam a strong ciit‘-
rent and mounted Bucephalus atthe head of
our gallant company ; indeed I did, landlord
'ou understand me.’
Not long after this. Capt. Fudge called
ih.-. landlord aside. and after some conversa-
(I011 was heard to say, ' You will procure
asp.‘-‘t-ts" ta" Miss "W‘ilI*t~‘i’t=I‘r, "l...'in.uga titti-
father is, you say, a Vfhig.
‘All right, sir, replied the landlord.
The fact was, our captain in his ride had
caught a glimpse of a young lady who was
the daugliter ol I\’Il‘. Wheeler, in the tieig:li-
borhood oftlie tavern. He applied to the
landlord for his assistance in obtaining an
introduction to the family, although he al-
most tlcspaired of overcoming the obstacles
which the Whigism ofthe father would pro-
bablv throw in the way of an intimate ac-
quaintance with his daugliter. The con-
stant recollection which the captain had of
his own personal beauty and his power over
the sex prevented any doubt it) his mind as
to his success in the subsequent points, pro-
’ vided he could once obtain an opportunity
ofemploying his address.
At this timea small dctachiuentof Amer-
ican soldiers lay at no great distance. pom
the village, and this t‘it‘cum.=tance the land-
lord well knew. Capt. Fudge however,
was not aware of it, and if he had been.
would have relied upon his own troops
which he had left but a few miles off, and
his fellow oflicers who were engagetl yet
nearer to him in such recreation as the time
permitted.
The landlord procured for him the desired
ltll.l‘O(lLl'.'i.l0n. The father was cold but toler-
nbly-civil, and the daughter was declared by
the captain to be imcotnparably the most
victorious rebi-l he had met \\'ll.l’l, in two
campaigns 1 Alter.-his first visit be made
the landlord aware of the chariicter of his
designs tovipirds Miss Wheeler. His plans
were laid and his visits continued nearly a
week. with what seemed to the suitor a
nianifest advantage to his purpose. His
scheme was confided only to the’ landlord,
Mr. Ruggles. One or two shrewd neigh-
bors conjectured the existence of some spe-
cial interest between them, but these had no
other reason for it than their having noticed
in the conversation between them,.a slight
and momentary shade pass over the usually
hard and unchanging features Of the landlord
like the shadows of a cloud driven before
the wind over a field ofivlieat. Meanwhile
he had left the village for a day or two-
upon what business was not known to the
c:iptain—and on his return he hastened his
schemes to their consummation. The details
were entrusted to his care, and be arranged
them with Miss Wheeler to her satisfaction
and to the captain's far as he was aware of
them.
The shop of Mr. 'Wheeler formed a part
of his house. and stood upon a corner so
that the window ofbotb looked upon a street.
In the second story of the shop there was a
door for taking in goods, placed between
two windows. and over this door a beam pro-
jected, with a rope and pully for the purpose
of raising heavy burtbens. The captain
rightly thought it impossible to obtain the
sanction of her father to the wishes he had
no doulzt entertained in common with herself
and had therefore delicately hinted to her,
fter he thought himself sufliciently ritastt-r
of her heart, the plan of admitting him by
‘,Ay, ay. sir, as long as your honor plea-
sea. -‘ '
‘a
means of the pully and basket into the up-
per part ofthe store and than to her cham-
per. He was not surprised when after some
.9C0mtng matdcnly fl('.SllallO!'t. she intimat-
ed her assent to his proposal - for he had
endeavor:-dgto secure the interc’ession of the
landlord in his favor and his own attractions
pfthemselves without the eulogium of his
iost, hethough stiflirtent to secure his suc.
cess. He ha-l concealed it from his father,
yet he wondered that the stern Whig, shnuti

himsclf,castiog anxious looks in every dI\
rection, to devise some escape, but in vain.
A cloud came over the moon and brought
others in its trail. A few big drops of rain
patterr-d on the bnsket. The captain would
have rescued his plume fro-n the misfortune
of being wet but he could not hide it, and it
soon. drooped as the rain began to heat upon
it and upon the unfortunate gtlllillll. whose
‘curly head it adorned.’
‘ flow it does r-.iin !’ muttered the neigh-
bors to the-txseli-‘es or to their spouses, as
they lay on the beds and heard the reviving

sound. ‘ How it does rain !‘ thought the

The captain heard a sound and lifted up his
head. ‘ Vllbat under lieavi-ii,’ said another,

time a day ‘.3’ A crowd is collected about
him, and ill. length landlord Rii-_rg’lesappears.

Upon this a file of soldiers belonging to
the American detachrrieut, wheeled around
the corner and siirrounded the spot; Capt.
Fridge trembled from head to foot and beg-

‘ So ho.’ said the lindlord, ‘ C-.ipt. Fudge,
who has shot twenty one men, and stabbed

of a bullet, run a gauntlet along a sharp fire
of musketry and mounted Bucephalus at the

to jump down fifteen feet. But stand on
your feet, for you may as Well come down
at once. I had a good band at thetriggcr

a grin from a soldier. and the Tory captain

An E:27(."ilI:'/lg Picture. —7_\/Ir. Vickers. a
reformed driinkard of Baltimore. in the
course ofa recent speech, related the inci-
dent which we siibjoin. We wish it could
be read by every hard drinker in the coun-
try, for it appears to us to convey an admo-
nition which even the most insensible must
feel.
‘ You cannot think,’ said Mr. Vickers,—
‘ how soon a man’s circumstances become
changed when once he has signed the
Pledge. I will tell you ofa man whom I
lrnew in Baltimore. He was not worth a
cent a day. and his family was supported by
his hard working wife. He had heard of
the Washington Society, and he had deter-
mined to join. But how should he get his
quarter ofa dollar which was required as
an initiation fee? He went to his wife &
told her he wanted a quarter ofa dollar.-
‘ What for .7’ said she. ‘No matter.’ said
he, I want it and must have it.’ She gave
it to him, knowing it would be of no use to
withhold it, and supposing he meant to buy
rum with it. He went to the Washington
Society on Monday night, and joined. The
next day he went to work at his trade, which
was it good one, and he could make money
fast. He came hotne sober every night, and
on Saturday received his wages and bought
a barrel of flour, a ham. some groceries.
and so on ; and got them on the dray and
sent them home. The drayman drove up
to the door and told his wife that the barrel
of flour and groceries were for her. She
told the drayman there must be some mis-
take about it ; it did not belong there —for
she had never had a barrel of flour since
she was married—-always had to buy it by
the sixpence worth, or shilling’.-s worth-—the
flour could not certainly belong to her,-
While they were talking the husband came
up. and said shelf-lusband, here's a man
who says this barrel of flour and these gro-
ceries are for us.’ ‘So they are and I bought
them till with the 25 cents you gave me last

G-rafting a W'/iole Tree.-—A neighbor of
Van Mons, the celebrated Belgium horticult-
urist, having a good apple tree of some ten
feet in height which he was obliged to cut
down, Van Mons determined to make an ef-
fort to preserve it entire by grafting it on one
of his own, but of inferior fruit. A tree ofthe
game size was selected, which was cut square
offa litiledistance above the ground,the sur-
face ofbotb made sniootb, and the graft or
rather tree placed in its new positon by the
opperation of pine grafting. Grafting clay
was placed around thejunction, earth heaped
over the spot, and the tree strongly secured
by stakes. A union between the parts was
soon effected. and the second year the tree
fruited as well as formely-—Alb. Cultivator.
Hurrah for our Sidc.'—The Hartford
Titties of last evening. with its high heeled

° On looking over the list of Representa-
tives elected, we perceive an unusual num-
ber of talented members. A host of able
Democrats make their appearance at this
session. It is the strongest House in point
of intellect. that ever assembled.’
Very glad to hear it. The world must
be growing wiser amazing fast; but we
suspect that if some of those old gentlemen
of better days and th rec cornered hats could
revisit the balls that once knew them.’ they
would give this Hartford cock-crower the
lie direct. Prey who are these mighty men

From Me:cico.—The New Orleans- pa.
pers of the 19th contain later dates from
Mexico. Letters from Vera Cruz state that
it was generally believed Santa Ana had
succeeded in negociating a loan of $7,000.-
OOO with England onapledge of t}iepen.in-
sula. of California“ It is quite improbable.
however, that this should be correct. Busi-
ness was very dull at Vera Cruz. The
yellow fever was carrying ofi” several per-
sons daily. Rumors were afloat that Santa
Ana intended soon to declare himself Em-
peror. About 20,000 troops were stationed
in the capital, 4000 at Xala pa. 4000 at Vera
it-uz and considerable bodies were said to
be in the northern department. There was
no talk ofinvading Texas. The prisoners
were still made towork in chains. Two of
them, however, one by the name of How-
ard bad effected their escape. A letter from
General Bravo, dated at Chilpancingo,M-arch
3.3, gives an account of the defeat. of a band
ofnative Mexicans or red men, who had ta-
ken up arms against the Government.
