Qucsh, take of that rug-give me yorr

John take out that chair box-come in
strand carry this horse to the stable; do
you prefer him to stand on floor, sir r
/ if you please, sir; he's rather particular
about his lodgings Garry him to the low
est stable, Quash, and tend to him well ;
always like to see horses well tended--and
This is a noble crttu-, too,' continued the
landlord, slapping him on the back. 'Idke
care, UiU y0u y said the horse. 'What,
the--lr = exclaimed the landlord, start
ing back. None Of your familiarity said
the horse, looking spitefulIy around at the
astonis he'd tavern keeper. Silence, Beel-
zebub,' said the traveller, caressing the ami
NAL he's rather an aristocratic horse the
effect of education, SIR He's the devil,
sir. 'Wo hoa, Beelzebub loose the trn-
ces, Qnash: what are you starting at J he
wont eat you Come landlord said Beel-
zebub, rant my Oats!'
Quash scattered-the landlord backed up
into the porch, and the traveller was fain to
jump into his vehicle and drive round in
search Of the stables himself Having sue
ceeded to his satisfaction in disposiDg of his
horse, he returned to the tavern. Anon
supper came on--the eggs had apparently
all chickens in them-the landlord was IN
confusion atsuch Notifying circumstance,
and promised the traveller amends from
cold pig-which, as he inserted the carving
fork into, it uttered a piercing squeal, which
was responded to by louder one from the
landlady. Down went the knife and fork,
and the cold perspiration began to grow in
large beads upon the forehead of the poor
landlord as he stood looking fearfully at the
grunter his attention was soon taken, how

Holloa, house landlord = AYE, aye,
coming, gentIemen-more travellers-do
help yourself sir, Landlordp y Coming
gentlemen-here, John, light-bring a
light to the door-Sally, wait on the gentle
man, '--and out the landlord bounced, fol-
lowed by John with lights; but soon re-
turned with look of disappointment; he
declared there was no living being without.
The voices called again-and the landlord
after going out, returned a second time, de-
claring his belief that the whole plantation
was haunted that night by evil spirits. The
stranger presently arose from the table and
drew his chair to the fire, having made a

porker, their cries to the contrary notwth-
standing.
That night, rumor saith, Mr.. Billy Lem
on slept with bible under his head, and
kept candle burning in his chamber till
and those who pass there, to this
day, may upon close examination discover
the heels of old horse shoes peering over
the door easement, as a bulwark against
witches, hobgobins and all other evil spir-
its. Having ascertaned the name of his
!, uest, in the morning mine host proceeded
to make out his bill
Mr.. J. S. Kenworthy,
To William Lemon, DIR. &c. &c.
This same Mr.. Kenworthy was recently
passenger on board the steamboat Colum-
bia, from Norfolk to Washington city, when
the violent alteration took place in one Of
the berihs between three or four different
for precedence. He is said to
be something of a wag, and wthal one of
the most accomplished Ventrilloquists of the
present day.
