But let us leave joking and talk seri-
Jusly. Mr. Fish-er wanted :0 make
Iome stir in the world. He wanted to
>83 whale among fishes, to he the king
lffisltes, and had seen too much of the
Uorld to make his debut in a humble
Runner. He did not intend to come in-
50 our village riding on an ass, but trus-
ed to his knowledge of his own species,

0 find plenty of those useful animals,;.-. "

fter he had made his entrance,

. -The’ fact is, there is too much of this
iulibling after these money gods. This
Jae foible in human nature is the great-
isll-ihducement held out for the deceP'
iions of rogues. Once a man had to
work and earn his money now many
get their living without labor, and even
lay up great treasures, but I am afraid
they do not lay them up Where “moth
and 9-in-3 doth not corrupt,” but they
take mighty good care to put them
where “thieves, do not break through
and _ateal.” '_ One man, sells you a "Stag
ht (an awful long) Bav.” 8 “Rock of
,Pu7'e Gold” made of compressed paper.
or the portraiture of your “Poor Rela-
;io};g".then laughs__a_t your simplicity.
Others stufl" old hides and tell you they
are rare curiosities. - They pocket your
quarters and "haw, haw" right out at
your credulity. But look out old fellow
for there is one curiosity you have not
among. your coilections, (the one with ‘a
cloven foot.) and I am f8i|l'flll,E.‘h8t if you
do not mend your ways ke will add your

stufed skin to hisscollections. '
Of this-R_alph.Hine 1 have but little
to say. If the account of his monetary
speculations in Waterbury, his eques-
trian performances in Bridgeport, his
matrimonial difficulties in Easton, his
peoulations in Michigan and at, Winiie-
pauk-are true, then indeed he is an “un-
 sco.undrel,”,and people in oth-
erplppes are as liable to be gulled by
hirriias they were in Ridgefield, for in
allficouiniunities there are some looking
fO_l,;[_l_|_8}'V_ell0l15 . things, and may be li-
young_rol,>ii_i_s, swallowing all
thatis pntlinto their. months. He may
yet wander into some place where they
will not only threaten him with tar and
feathers, but will apply them, and then
consign him to the native element of a
Fish’-er. In taking leave of 'Mr. Hine
with his half a dozen aliases, the lan-
guagelof Uncle Toby may be appropri-
ately applied, "Go poor’ Devil,” with
the" fihternal chiirge append'ed'—and try
to behave yourself ‘better hereafter. *,,*

MILFORD, Aug. 30th, 1855.
Faiaao Brmcirou-;

It has been truly said tliat«“tliis is an
ag_e‘of- im‘proveineiit." It has also been
asked, sndiiot without .reasoiIi, “when
will wonderecease.” .

We look,,bac_lr forty or fifty years to
the “good.-old ‘days of stage coaches,”
with wonder and astoiiisliment. Won-
der, to think that pe_opl_e could be satis-

‘fled with such a filo“; and tedious way of
traveling, while we are taken all aback
artlierapid ' strides improvement has
made duringthe last half century.

Our‘ fathers tell us how their patience‘
used to betried, and sometimes nearly
exhausted by the mode of traveling that
prevailed in their-young days, when for
instance, they would on Monday morn-
ing step on boardof the fieetest sloop or
schooner that could be found, expecting
to be in New York city by night or the
nextgmorning at farthes , when perhaps
they awake in the morning, walk out on
deck,.and find themselves becalmed, or
Lying it anchor with sails all furled, a
strong head wind blowing, and they not
more than fifteen or twenty miles from
home, freq.uently occupying ‘the whole
week with their passagepand not being
pe‘_ri_nit,t‘ed to set foot upon terglz firma
during «the whole time. 0:,‘ if they
ch'oos‘e,‘_they migt take’ passage on board
of; lurp_berir_ig.;stage coach, which at
boot is bpt;_a:_alpw and sorry way of tra v.
elinf. .. « 4

Now, we may step on board a steam-
boat, and ion few ‘hours at most, we are
iandetfogt the wharf in New York city.
Or if -ourgpatience will not permit us to
travel ’iu'l;li'h;t‘manner, there is the iron
horseliiiltll i_t,,s",majesty and power, ready
to iecoinpiodate us. We-pass into one
of thelcars, and with a_ shrill scream, a
puff. anda short, the train begins to
move, and‘gathét's speed as it flies, until
we are rushing -along with the‘ speed of
the wind arid. ere we are aware of it, the
iron horseis taken off, horses of flesh
aridblood‘ a_:re_"hitched to each car, and
we are slowly moving, through ,_the city
of New Yo'rk,tbe great metropolis of
the Western world.

But behold a greater marvel still—the
lightning ‘chained and made man’s most
obedient servant, transmitting intelli-
gence for him with the speed ofthouglit
from one partof the globe to another.

Audwhile all these great improve.
ments have been going on, astonishing
mankind by their magnitude, we find in
looking about us that those of lesser
magnitude have not been neglected.——-
