It was fine summer evening about sunset,
when Young man, well mounted rode through
a small village There was nothing striking in
the circumstance, but the earnest manner with
which he begged to be directed to the nearest
inn, and certain willness in his appearance,
were calculated to excite observation. For
Gods sake, said he, to a tramser who was dfi
wing load Of hav, tell me where can find a
lodging for the nishto'
May be you have come a long way" said the
man, stopping his oxen.

and repeated his request.
Then you don't want to know which is the
best inn, but which is the nearest" said the
man,
Il want a place where can lodge SAID the
traveller, Impatlently.
But if you can have better one for going a
few rods further, said the man, suppose you
would not mind it,
Il see, said the stranger, you have no nten-
ton Of directing me; J and he again put his horse
forward
Hollo theren said the man, calling after him
you seem to be in despert hurry You had
better put up at the Golden Ball
What do you mean Sam. sand a lad who was
lying on the top Of the hay, and now reached
forward, BY sending him there. when il is half
mile further? the Doctors great deal near

the traveller, straight forward till you come to
turn on your right hand, you will soon be at
the tavern You'll know it for sartn, because
it has the sign Of a Mermaid
The stranger, whose strength and patience
were exhausted, again attempted to proceed
You say : said he, must take the road on my
left hand?'
Il did not say no such thing said the man:
that road leads to the meeting house, and take
it. it is tavern you want; you must go by that
turning, and when you see another to your
right, take that, and it will be acause IT'S TOO
dark. if you don't see the sign Of the Mermaid
The traveller appeared satisfied with fhr d-
recton. for he again put spurs to his horse; but
