 Going Ahead-A Steam Boat Aneedote.-In the course of the past summer, young lady of this city, whom we shall designate as Miss X. obtained the services of friend whom we may style Mir. B. to escort her to B"rdpntOwn, "n her way to New York. They arrived at Chesnut street wharf about five minutes be- fore the time of starting. and the gentleman having handed the lady on to the deck of the inner boat, (that for Baltimorr) left her with the dirrcti"p, Go Ahead. and I'll look after your baggage" The lady not unders,an nding that to go ahead she must go across quietly walked herself to the stern of the boat on which she was. and took her seat on one of the sett~es, mnsing percbance as she gaZed upon our beautifM quays. whrn tine Delaware Avenue prescribed by Mir. Girard would be hpgun. In the mean tune Mir. B. having found the Knight ofthe WheclbarrOw, causes Miss As trunk and bandboxes to be cnnvey- ed "n to the New York boat and safely de- posiird.- This had scarcely been accomplish. ed when the clock struck and the New York D,,lH .I.aA a,H ayfray as Miss A. did that Mir. B. was a member of the Temperance Society. she felt no uneasi- ness at not seeing him immediately, but that the boat should go SO far down the river exei4 ted much astnnishmrnt. e Biesss me (said she to an elderly lady on her right hand) what long turn the boat is going to make :!

"this is the right way to go to Baltimore" "Yes. no dUuht," said Miss A., "but this is the New York boat" "Oh, no, my dear, this is the Baltimore boat" Indeed madam" rcjOined Miss A.. "you must be !aboring under some deIusion. am going to New York. and this is the New-YOr boat" The debate waxing a little warm the question was referred to the Capt., who Of course decided against Miss A.
 In the mean time Mr. B. was looking "up stairs and down stairs in my lady's chamber" for the fair object of his escOrt-but no Miss A. was to be seen, nor had the steward, the captaio's clerk, the cook. the walters, and the cha mbermaid set eye that morning upon such a lady as he described. At length Mr. 5. came te the conclusion, that Miss A. had re- rnained on the wrong boat. Miss A. wh" was convinced that Mr. B. and her baggage most probably had been left on shore. PrOceededt to New Castle. Mr. B. was deposited at Eur Iingion. How they amused themselves du- ring the day in this state Of OfinvOIunfary sepa- ration has not been mentioned. hut the eve ming boats took Mir. B. and the bandbOxes dOsen, and Miss A. sp, to Philadelphia. and arriving at the same time, the travellers stop ped like John Gilpin at ths starting POiDt. and walked up Chesnut street together, the gen. tleman resolved in future to have aO eye to each part of the luggage. and the lady deter mined tO adopt as her guide the sOkOle of Col. CrOekett's excellent advice, Be GlsTdys sfse SOw're Igkf, THEN Go AReGd." G6zEtGe. |
