From the " Sketch Book. %

Rip Van Wrinkle was one of those
happy mortals, Of foolish, weII-oiled, dis
positions, who take the world easy, eat
white bread or broYn, which ever can
be got with least thought or trouble, and
would rather starve on penny than work
for pound. If left TO himself, he would
have whistled life away in perfect CON
tentment but bis wife kept continue
ally dining 10 his ears about his idleness,
his carelessness, and the ruin he was
bringing on his family. Morning. nooo,
and night. her tongue was necessarily
going, and every thing he said or did was
sure to produce torrent of household
eloqueuce. Rip had but one way of re-
plying to all her lectures Of this kind, aud
that, by frequent use had grown into a
habit. He shrugged his shoulders, shook
his head, cast up his eyes, but said notb-
ing. This, however, always provoked a
fresh volley from his wife, so that he was
fain to draw off bis forces, and take TO the
outside Of the house, the only side which,
in truth, belongs TO hen.pecked hus-
band.
/" Rims sole domestic adherent was his
dog Wolf, who was as much heirpecked
as his master for Dame Van Wrinkle re-
garded them as companions 10 idIeness,
and even looked upon Wolf with an evil
eve. as the cause Of bis masters SO Often
going astray. True it is, in all points of
spirit betting an honorable dog, he was
as courageous an animal as ever secured
the woods--but what courage can with
stand the everduring and all.besetting
terrors Of a woman's tongue The moment
Wolf entered the house, his crest fell, his
tail dropped to the ground, or curled be-
tween his legs, he sneaked about with a
gaIlows air, casting many a side-long
glance at Dame Van Wrinkle, and at the
least flourish of broom.stick or ladIe,

ADAM PoE's CONTEST WITH TWO IND1

ADAM PoE's CONTEST WITH TWO INDIANS.
About the year 1882, six or seven Wy
andot Indians crossed over to the south
side OF the Ohio river, fifty miles below
Pittsburgh, aud in their hostile excursions
among our early settlers killed an old man,
whom they found alone in one Of the hou-
SEES which they plundered. The news
soon spread among the white people, seven
or eight Of whom seized their rifles and
pursued the marauders. In this party
we're two brothers named Adam and An.
drew Poe, strong aud active men, and much
respected in the settlement. The Indians
had frequently been over before, had some
times penetrated twenty miles into the
couutry, aud had always succeeded in re-
crossing the river without being overtaken
by our people. The Poes and their COM
panions were therefore particularly anx-
ious not to let them escape on this occa-
sion. They pursued them all night, and
10 the morning found themselves, as they
expected, upon the right track. The ln-
dians could now be easily followed by the
traces left upon the dew. The print Of
one very large foot was seen, and it was
thus known that a famous Indian Of un-
common size aud strength must be Of the
party. The track led TO the river.
Our people followed directly, Adam
Poe excepted, who feared that they might
be taken by surprise, and broke off from
the rest to go along on the edge of the
bank, under the cover of trees and bushes,
and fall upon the savages suddenly that
he might get them between bis own fire and
that Of his companions. AT the point,
where he expected they were, he saw the
rats, which they were accustomed to push
before them when they swan the river
and on which they placed their blankets.
tomahawks aud guns. The Indians them
selves he could not see, and was obliged
to go partly down the bank to get shot at,
them. As he descended, with his rifle
cooked, he discovered two, the celebrated
large Indian and smaller one, separated
from the others, holding their rifles also
cooked in their hands. He took aim at
the larger one, but his rifle snapped, with
out giving the intended fire. The Indians
turned instantly at the sound. Poe was
too near them to retreat, and had not time
TO cock aud take aim again. Suddenly
be leaped down upon them, and caught

cipitaiion.
Times grew worse and worse with
Rip Van Wrinkle, as years Of matrimony
rolled Gu; tart temper never meIlows
with age, aud sharp tongue is the only
edge tool that grows keener by constant
use. For q, long while ne used to con.
soie himself, wheu driven from home, BY
irfqneiling kind Of perpetual club OF
the sages, philosophers, aud other idle
personages Of the village, that held its
sessions on a bench before small inn,
designated by a rubicond portrait Of his
majesty George the Third. Here they
used to sit in the shade, OF a long lazy
summers day, talk iistlessly over village
gossip. or tell endless sleepy stories about
nothing. But it would have been worth
any statesman's money to have heard The
profound discussions that sometimes took
place, when by chance an old newspaper
fell into their hands, from some passing
traveller. How solempIy would they
listen 10 the contents, as drawled out b,
Derrick Van Bummei, schoolmaster, a
dapper learned little man, who was not TO
be daunted by the most gigantic word in
the dictionary aud how sagely they
would deliberate upon public events some
months after they had taken place.
8 The opinions of this iunto were CON-
pletely controlled by Nicholas Vedder, a
patriarch of the village, and landlord oil
The inn, atthe door Of which he took bis
seat from morning till night, just moving
sufficiently to avoid the sun, and keep in
the shade of large tree; SO that the
neighbors could easily tell the hour by
his movements as accurately as by sun
dial.--It is true he was rarely heard to
peak, but smoaked necessarily. His
adierents, however, (for every great
man has his adherents, perfectly under
stood him, and knew how to gather his
opinions. When any thing that was read
or related dispIeased him, he was observ-
ed to smoke his pipe vehemently, and
send forth short, frequent, angry puffs ;
but when pleased he would inlaie the
smoke slowly and TRANQUILITY, and emit il
10 light and placid clouds, and sometimes
lake the pipe from his mouth, and letting
the fragrant vapor curl about his nose,
would gravely nod his head in token o.
perfect appreciation.
Even from this ssroug hold the lin
lucky Rip was at length routed by hi
sesmsgant wife, who would suddenly
break 10 upon the tranquility Of the as
semblage, call the members all TO naught
nor was the august parsonage, Nicholas
Vedder himself, free from the daring
tongue Of this terrible virago, who charg-
ed him outright with encouraging hel
husband in habits of idleness."
