dy to Be paid to hin order when direc-
Ted BY your excellency to receive The

baron in your first despatch, said the
Jin'ral, and inform him that he shall

|. There, cousin Ezekiel, there's the
end Of the rigmarols nonsense about
the French war. If uncle Joshua,
and ], and you, and cousin Jack, and
aunt kesiah, and Nabby Downing
couldn't have settled the business
three years ago better than govern
ment, and without q quarter Of the
expense, then there's no snakes.
We hadn't settled this consarn but
"a little spell before in came another
messenger. What's the matter, now,
says ]; the Jin'ral Is jist finished his
pipe, and is taking his nap-don't
disturb him for lMarcy's sake! With
that tie Jin'ral rubbed his eyes, and
jumped up before a cat could lick her
ear. Is there any news, says he,
from Harrisburg! News enough, jim
raj, the United States Bank is re-
chartersd-passed both houses, and
the governor has signed the bill
thirty-ive millions; and asks no favors
of Congress.
Cousin Ezekiel, don't you remember
one day when you and l were out in
the woods in DowningviAe, shooting
squirrels? Don't you .recollect /
pointed out 70 you cloud coming up
in the northwest, and told you we had
better cut stick and be off; and be-
fore we got half way home how the
trees whizzed about our heads id al
directions, and how the lightning
flashed and the thunder reared, and
the hail pelted like the shot in one of
Bonaparte's battles? Well, if you
remember that, you have some ideer|
Of the storm in the east room. Smash
went pipe, whack went spectacles,I
and az to the Jin'ral's boots, instead
Of being hung up fer q mirror, they
went aginst the best mirror in the;
parlor. ! did my prettiest to cool
him down ;-says /, jim raj, you needn't
be afear'd, this amt Col. Benton; he's
aquaker gentleman from Philadelphia ;;
he wont hurt hair Of your head;
he's messenger from the city of
brotherly love, and comes to offer
you some Of tho stock in the bank, in
your private capacity. He says it
will pay a swinging interest, and
Mr.. Biddle says as kcw he can spare
you few sheers, as matter of par-l
ticular favor, at par.
With that the Jin'ral's eyes looked,
exactly like those Of a chain'd wildcat.
Sargent Joel, said he, do you mean TOT
insult me? Here, Mr.. Broadbrim,
there's the door the carpenter made ),
and do you make tracks. Tell yourI
I've cut OF the head Of the
monster, and if he has as many as
Hydrogen himself, I'll clip 'em fflike
Eppes' ears. The bank was mine,
and the government is mine, and III
regulate and misregulate, jist a. 1
please, AS for Nicholas Biddle's
summers morning, I'll turn that intoI
a winters night-I'll send a copuldr|
guard, and tear down his se;-t
AMI, as for you Mr.. Obediah, if you
come here agin on SIGH an Grant
you remember the SIX militia men,
don't you,
To tell you the plain truth, cousin
Ezekiel, I begun to be little skeered
myself, and made my way to bed as
soon as Mr.. Broadbrim left the room.
N. B. I've jist got q letter from
Pennsylvania, giving full account
Of the meeting Of the stockholders;
and how they've accepted the new
charter, and chose Mr.. Biddle agin
for thirty years, and pass'd vote Of
thanks for his services, and presented
him with a goolden plate to eat his
hasty pudding and 'lasses out Of; and
how they mean to run him for Presi-
dent, instead of the Jin'ral, next heat.
/ shant dare to let this out to him all
at once, but tell him leesle by leetle,
for l don't like to witness two harry
canes in one week.
So no more at present from your
beloved cousin,
SARGENT JOEL.
