Mr.. Weld, editor of the New York
Despatch, tells story In as rich and
quaint a style as any lord of the quill
we wot of. For Widower
Smiths wagon stopped one morning be-
fore widow Jones' door, and he gave
the usual country signal, that he want
ed somebody in the house, by dropping
the reins, and sitting double, with his
elbows on his knees. Out tripped the
widow, lively as a cricket, with . &c
mendous black ribbon on her sno" " me
cap. Good morning was soon SAID on
both sidos, and the widow waited for
what was further to be said.
eWell, Ma'am Jones, perhaps you
don't want to sell one of your cows, no
how, for nothing, any way, do your
HWelI, there, Mister Smith, you
couldn't have spoke my mind better
A poor, lone woman. like me, does not
know what to do with so many crea-
lures, and | should be glad to trade if
we can fix it."
So they adjourned to the meadow.
Farmer Smith looked at Roan-then at
the widow-at BrindIe-then at the wild
ow-at the Downing cow-and ut the
widow again-and so through the whole
forty. The same call was made every
day for a week, but farmer Smith could
not decide which COW he wanted. At
length, on Saturday, when widow Jones
was in a hurry to go through her baking
for Sunday-and had sever so much''
to do in the house, as all farmers wives
and widows have on Saturday, she was a
little inonatient Farmer Smith was as
irresolute as ever
..That ERE Downing COW is a pretty
fair cretur-but" he stopped to glance at
the widows face, and then walked round
her-not the widow, but the cow.
ssThat ERE short horn Durham is not
bad looking beast, but don't know
another look at the widow.
ssThe Downing COW | knew, before
the late Mr.. Jones bought her" Here
he siged at the allusion to the late Mr..
Jones, she sighed, and both looked at
each other. 1t was a highly interesting
moment.
s.Old Roam is faithful old miIch,
and SO is Brindle-but | have known
better" A long stare succeeded this
speech-the pause was getting awkward,
and at last Mrs. Jones broke out
sLordl Mr.. Smith, if Tn the cow
you want, do say soi'
The intentions Of the widower Smith
and the widow Jones were duly publish
ed the next day, as is the law and the
custom in Massachusetts,; and as soon
as they were s'out-published" they were
married.

Sargent Johnson told him he guessed
he'd see it sooner if he was on the
ground than if be was up there So
Billy came down again, and We logged
along. Bine-by We came to a tree that
had some old spots and marks on both
sides of il. And we looked along north
and south Of this tree, for the Sargent

and we found some trees marked and
spotted jest like il.

we've got it at last. Now look and see

and be ready to fire if | say the word"
We looked across the line, and look
ed and looked, but we couldn't see moth
in but trees and bushes, and woods and
swamps. We hollered across the line
as loud as we could boiler, to see if we
could raise any British, for we all felt as
if we wanted to have a brush. And we

when we come to holler again. we found
1t to be only the echo of our own vol
ces that came back from the hills lit
tie ways off. So we marched along the
line two or three miles, but we couldn't
see nor hear nothin' of nobody. At
last we sat down, and got the victuals
out of our knapsacks, and eat our din
ners, and rested awhile.
When we got ready to start again to
go back to our fort, Sargent Johnson
said We hadn't ought'nt to 60 back till
we give the British our broadside, Jest
to let 'em know what we Yankee boys
are made of. So he told US to see that
our guns was all right. And then he or
dered US to stand up all in row and toe
the line, facing to the British side; and
then he gave US off the word
'Make ready take aim!-6re!''
ssThere," says Sargent Johnson, snow

This account, which is doubtless from
the file, is the only record of a battle
during the campaign.

''and, really, with his present light upon the
subject, he can see no great danger TO be uppfe-
hended.n
We ask the ffeemen OF Vermont, to look nt
the utter inconsistency ofthese southern lead
ers Of the Van Buren,, anti-protecton, anti.
monopoly party. When the leaders of the par
~ raised their cry against the banking inst,u-
tions ofthe country, the whole party joined in
the TRADE. Because the president and direc-
tors Of the United States Bunk, were not sub
scrvient TO the wishes Of Andrew Jackson, the
war cry was raised. From that time to this,
we have continually heard denunciations
against "banks,n Corporations and ''associa-
ted wealth." But the moment these men can
advance their own peculiar interests, by
means Of association, no matter how odious in
its natuTe--no matter, lift threaten to involve
a whole section Of country in ruin, 1t must be
brought about. Such is the consistency ofihe
Van Buren, leaders throughout the union. The
people viii soon find them out, and then will
they meet their just deserts.

citizens Of New York, to take into eonsidera-
lion the propriety of complying with certain
proposals to emigrate to the Island Of 7rini-

out TO the people of color to induce them to

others choose to remain in the land of their

Consul Of the United States at Havana. -
The meeting, says the Mercantile Journal,
was organized by the choice of Capt. JosLPB

read a Circular addressed to the shipmasters
of Boston, enclosing an account of the pro-
ceedings at the meeting lately held in New

statements were made by several gentlemen
present, who have witnessed the conduct Of
Mr.. Trist in Havana, oil going to confirm in
its fullest extent the justice Of the sentiments

duct Of this Consul the Representative of
this Government In Havana, is overbearing
and oppressive to degree that no citizen Of
free government can be willing to submit
to-and for this and other reasons he is al
together unfit for the responsible Office which
he now holds.-[ Boston Gazette.
