WAS a warm Saturday afternoon in
AgNnst, that a horseman turned TO the
Inn1hat fronts the s;eepleless Meeting
Hoase Of small village in the interior OF
N1W England. As usual, in the warm
Szlnrday afternoon of summer, the male
poflion of the villagers were assembled at
lbe tavern, some drinking punch like wa
taf, and others the regular sold soak
|arnn discussing the merits of pure "New
|znnIand." Some were stretched out hal
Asleep, and if the truth must be told, half
stoxicated, under the shade Of two vener
|able elms. which overlook the highway
d Front Of the little Inn, while others
we're seated in the window seats Of the
|tarroom, gravely arguing upon matters
spiritual and political.
Bu, the unusual appearance of stran-
ri reused every one into the attitude of
oafiosity. He was mounted on an ele-
"a horse, and us he refined him up be-
ID the door, every eye was upon him.
lEs was somewhat tall-wiih diminutlyeI
w8;st, which would have answered to the
sinsilitude of Falstatfs ian Eagles talon
A-ahd legs of most inordinate length, fur
mined with a close covering of light
|ol0sh- looking for all the world, like a
couple of x-goads with eel skins drawn
eysr them. His dark frock finely con-
lassed with his light vest and open bosom
ofnamented with pearl studs and glitter
ine salety chains. A broad stock OF black
silk, elevated his chin to an angle offorty.

linen starched with the stiffness OF sheet
iron, and which produced on each side OF
III chin like the horn Of Rhinoceros,
Akose, huge pair of whiskers extending
from ear to ear, with the triAing exceP
tionlof a square inch or two Of his chin,
over which the tonsorial implements had
evidently recently passed. His upper
lid vas garnished by enormous mustaches,
which brislled fiercely upward and cover
ca moiety Of either cheek. His hat was
most exquisitely small, coon-llke, and
pilched with admirable effect upon the
lell side Of his head, while huge masses
IF hair tumbled up carelessly at his tenn
pies, which were left wholly uncovered.
The stranger dismounted and entered
liIs Inn, without feigning glance to the
fieht or left "He's Spaniard or a Por-
lufnese," said one, in low whisper, 10
his companions. "Look at his beard!'
said another. "Oh! what legs!' said a
hifl. One after another the loungers
gave in their opinions, and none could
aeEee as TO the precise character of IN
waking phenomenon before them. An
dId sailor said it was Turkish Bashaw
while an i:inerant preacher as strenoua
lyaffirmed that the being who had APP
peased sin such questionable shape

The stranger had in the meantime
.ched the centre of the bar-room. Ell
ling glass to his eye, he looked a.
I'D, for the first time, upon the comPa-
''Landlord, said he, show me my
N, and let me have supper immediate
Our supper is just ready" said the
Adlord, twill you take seat with usV
The man OF moustache and whskel
u off his hat, ran his fingers through
hair, until 1t stood out as widely as
locks Of apland wind-stealer. Sir

From this there was, Of course, no up

agreeably to his directions. Th'
