Delaware inquirer. (Wilmington, Del.) 1859-18??, 1859-08-13

In a moment more the door opened and the
young man entered the bar room. He had
: hardly seated himself before the lady of the
house made her appearance in loose night
, dress, She stood a moment and gazed at
Joshua with scrutinizng glance, that SEEM
ed to search the inmost recesses of his soul.
She argued, to herself, whether she could
trust the appearance of the man before her
or not but finally, she busted herself to pro-
cure him something to eat.
Joshua had no disposition to be loquacious,
and consequently he remained, in a manner,
mute.
The landlord was sullen and dull-he doubt
less had some unpleasant reeollections of some
foraging party of the British. From his ac-
tions II was evident he belonged to the repub-
lican cause, and like many others in that day,
had suffered for taking a political side that his
conscience deemed right. The ingenious land
lady tried everything that lay in her power to
draw from Joshua his political position. To
every inquiry the young man gave evasive
answers-he could not be drawn out.
With an appetite sharpened by long fast
| ing, Joshua soon devoured the edibles placed
before him, and tired from his long travels,
he retired to sleep in one corner of the bar
room. That his sleep was sound and refresh
ing is a matter not to be wondered at when
it was taken into consideration that he had
Travelled so many miles on foot the day before.
He arose with the sun very much refreshed.
The good woman of the house did not move
with much alacrity in her efforts to prepare
the morning meal. She doubtless was afraid
that money matters were under par in the
pockets of her new customer Needless oi
any insinuations about funds, the young man
partook of the breakfast, and before rising
from the table, he placed .his hand iii his
pocket and drew out several pieces of gold
COIN At the sight of the gold the eyes of the
landlady rlstened with delight He handed
her one of the smallest to take the price OF
the lodging and his meals out of. The woman
took it, and eyed the stranger again. Her
glance was close, scrutinizing one, but
Joshua deviated not an iota from his usual
eouilibrium. She advanced and proffered her
hand. The youne man grasped it warmly,
and in an instant the landlady returned the
gold. Joshua insisted upon her keeping it.,
Int she decidedly refused; in other words
they understood each other-they were both
of the same political creed. From that hour
forword the stranger and the inmates of the
tovern were intimate friends. Comfortable
Iodainoa and good meals were among the con-
sderations of the new acquaintance.
