In the neighborhood of Charlotte n c., there
lived, until within the last two years, an aged
lady, whose many recollections of early life Were
very interesting. One, we remember afforded
us great amusement. Gates had been defeated.

her relatives, and seeing young man riding from
that direction, she was told by her mother to
learn the news from him.
She buxom lass of sixteen summers ed

toierably assured of her ability to cope with any
body, was nothing loath to go, and gave us the
following story OF the meeting:

AN AMUSING SroRy OF Dixon Fl. LEwIs-A
correspondent of the ~ Y. Evening Post travel
ing in Ohio, writes under date Lebanon, August
31,'' follows:
Mr. Thomas Corwin resides here with his fam
lily. He told us last evening an amusing story of
Dixon I'll. Lewis who was an excessively large
man, being overset at night in stage-coach in
Georgia, while fordiag deep river. The Senator
found himself in the water but unable to sink.
and wallowing on his face in Intellectual efforts TO
escape from his embarrassing situation little
boy, in peril of drowning climbed on his back and
sat there in safety. As soon as Mr.. Lewis ascer-
tanned that it was living human being who had
mounted him, he directed the boy to bawl Justify
for help; but the cries of the child were unheard
amid the roar of the swollen stream, which swept
Its burden rapidly downward. By the dawn of
day Mr Lewis discovered, by passing the same
farmhouse at stated intervals, that he was circu
latlng in brisk eddy some half mile in width.
The famer's attention attracted ere long to
the strange object floating by his door every now
and then, and, taking his canoe, he pulled out and
towed the saturated sufferers to land

sip with his readers, have doubtless with ourselves
admired the perennial source of its pleasant wit
and Joyousness. In this number The Gossip
holds on its way like fair rivulet glancing and

used to wonder how Mr.. Clark held out, expecting
he must certainly snow brown in the coming
number; but this number gives no sign of exhaus-
tion."-Nationai bteAigsncer, Washington,

IL NAoCN the urSl
IL July was commenced the second volume of
Puinams Monthly. Itssuccess, remarkable among
literary undertakings, proves the genuneness of
the national welcome with which the prospectus
was received, and the manner in which its pro-
mise has been fulfilled.
To have demonstrated that an original Ameri-
can Magazine can command the lively interest and
substantial support OF the American Public, and
challenge the admiration of foreign criticism is a
success OF which the publishers are proud.
They will spare no effort in deserving even
greater favor They still believe, as they said at
the commencement of the undertaking. that "a
popular magazine must amuse, interest, and in
struct." They have still undated 'faith in the
oppulence of our own native resources, = and they
appeal TO the experience of the last six months 10
show with what reason.
The first volume is now complete and may be
had neatly bound in cloth, price So 90.
The first edition of the June number consists of
thirty thousand copics-a greater circulation
than has ever before been attained by an original
literary magazine, either in this country or in
Europe.
TERMS: So per annum or 25 cents number.
