The following amusing anccdote is extract
ed from lorcible article Of the New York
Evening Post, designed to arrest the late
prevalent rage for speculation
a traveller, once, in the West, on setting
out early one morning from the place where
lie had passed the night, consulted his map Of

cradle town, called Venice, or Verona, Wen
ma, or by the name OF some otlier European
city beginning with ", occupied point
on his road bui some twelve or fifteen miles
off, concluded 10 journey as for as that place
before breakfast. Another equally eXIen-
sive town, bearing as sounding a name, was
laid down at a convenient distance for his az
ternoon stage ; and there he proposed hating
Tor The night. He continued to travel at a
good round pace until the sun had attained II
great height in the heavens, and until lie
computed that he had accomplished more
than twice or thrice the distance which he
proposed 10 himself in The outset. His sto
mach had long since warned him that IT was
time 10 halt, and his horse gave indications
winch plainly showed that he was Of the same
opinion. Still he saw no town before him,
even OF the humblest kind, much less such a
