Early Days of Silas Wright.

A friend, who was an old acquaintance of
the late Hon. Silas Wright, related to US an
ahecdCte OF that distinguished man which Ire
rec e Sed from his own lips, n as we have
never seen 1t IN print although it may have
been, we give 1t TO our readers
MIR. Wright left home at an early age 10
/" seek his fortune" having, by way Of earthly
possession s, fine horse, saddle and bride. n
pair OF faddle-bags, small stock of clothing
and i've hundred dollars ia money, which wns
in bills aid was deposited in his sadde-baes.
lie took western course aud in travelling one
day he overlook man with a wagon and fur
nlture and an old span of horses apparently
cmigrat ng. There was nothing particularly
attractive at first view in the person or equi-
page, but upon closer inspection, Mr. Wright
discovered the daughter of the em;grant, most
beautiful Young lady, evidently refined and i'll
telligent They journeycd onward toward Gc-
neva, chatting costly together, when suddenly
the old gentleman recollected that he wished
to get his money changed at the Geneva Bank,
and to enable him to reach that place before
the close of bank hours he proposed that Young
Wright should take his seat beside the beau
tiful daughter and allow him to mount Wrieht's
horse and hasten forward Ardent and half
smitten by the charms Of the young lady Silas
gladly accepted the proposition, and leapng
from his horse allowed the old man to mount
and make off with all his earthly possessions.
money included, without thought.
Rapidly the hours of Thalaba went by while
these two young and gifted beings pursued
their course, quite leisurely, it NAV be surmis-
ed, toward their journeys destination
On arriving at Geneva, Mr. Wright drove
tlo nal 10, 1,f IL.
then for the first time shade of anxiety cross
ed his mind for the safety of his fine horse and
his money. He went to all the other public
houses, but could hear of no such man as he
described he beat up to the quarters of the
cashier of the bank, and learned, to his addi-
tlonal concern, that such man had called at
the bank and endcavorcd to get some money
changed, which he declined doing, as the notes
be presented were counterfeit Our future
then came to the conclusion that he
had made crooked start in life About Fifty
dollars worth Of old furniture, a dilapidated
wagon and span ofwOrn out horses, for new
fine horse, and five hundred dollars!
Aye . but then there was the pretty daugh-
t t.r-but her he could not keep IS personal
property without her own consent, and with
out money he hardly wanted a wife He was
at his wits end, and had inst concluded to
make the best of bad bargain, when the old
man made his appearance with horse and mo-
ncy all safe. 1t turned out that the money
Which the cashier had thought to be counter
felt was not so, and the mistake had given the
old man the troable to 60 some distance to
find an acquaintance who might vouch for his
respcctabil.ty in case of trouble, and this oc-
casioned his mysterious absence. In the sequel
the beautiful daughter became afterward the
wife Of the future statesman.-Dartu Adr
