BRIDGES" happiest efforts. 1t its hits off
to the life the extravagant stories of
Western adventure, told by the s Long
bows" who visit our Western bor-
ders. 81
Some years ago, was one of a convi--
vial party, that met in the principal ho-
tel in the town of Columbus, Ohio,
the seat of government of the Buckeye
State.
1t was winter evening, when all with
out was bleak and stormy, and all within
were blythe and gay, when song and sto-
ry made the circuit of the festive board,
filling up the chasms of life with mirth and
laughter. III ..1
We had met for the express purpose of
making night of it, and the pious inten-
ton was duly and most'religiously carried
out. The Legislature was in session in
that town and not few of the worthy
legislators were present upon this occa-
sion.
One of these worthless l will name, as
he not only took big swarth in the eve
ning's entertainment, but he was a man
more generally known than our worthy
President. James K. Polk. That man
was the famous Captain Riley, whose
narrative of suffering and adventures are
pretty generally known over the civilized
world.
Captain Riley was fine, fat. good hu-
mored Joker. who. at the period of my
story, was the representative of the Day
ton district, and lived near that little city
when at home. Well. Captain Riley had
amused the company with many of his
far famed and singular adventures. which

his book, l will not attempt to repeat
them, g...-.-..-- ~. 5,5..-I-

Riley wound up one ofhis truthful, though
really marvellous adventures. Mr.

was all very well. but it did not begin To

THE LADY FREE MASON.

Hon. Elizabeth st. Leger, was the
Nonly female who was ever initiated into
the ancient and honorable mystery OF
Free Masonry. How she obtained this
honor, we shall lay before our readers,

Miss st. Leger's father very Jealous Ma
