 Having occasion flow days since to stop at this place, could but notice some of it's many attractions. Nature, amid its many freaks, seems to>have bestowed some Of it's richest and rarcst decorations of sublime scenery in this really romantic and happy spot in New-England

On your right' the lands rise in gentle swells towards the setting sun while cottages, palaces ana glittering spires peep from beneath the pleasant groves and ornamental trees, which arc animated both by the rich melodies of the feathcrcd songsters and the Bellows al's ; belles. Westerly is seen the neatly arrahsc., Main and Canal streets, which arc eni''e''eu Inv the br;skncss of business, whilst the gen tie brctzc waits in tLc sou-stirrlng s'ra'ns U o' the boa tman's song.

"SEVEN-UP" FOR A WIFE.

In tho State of Tennessee there is certain village boasting of q tavern, three stores and four groceries, where, from morning till night, and from night to dawn, person, en- tcrihg the town, may find in the tavern, stores. and groceries aforesaid onc or more groups of persons playing cards. Gambling there is reduced to a science. The history of the four kings is thoroughly studied. and from the school-boy to the gray-hcaded vet cran, from the miss in her teens to the mother of a large family, they are initiated
 into the mysteries of high, low, jack, game,
 right and left bowers, the honors and the odd trick. One of the best players in the village was Major Smith, the tavern,keeper or, as he expressed it, the proprietor of the hotel, . wldowcr, who like

FIRST TEA ON NANTUCKET.

! The Nantucket Inquirer relates this laugh
abale historical incident Edward Starbuck,
the Miles Standish of our island, came from
Salisbury with Macy and others, had grand
son, Nathaniel Starbuck. Jr, who was en-
gagged in making voyages to China. Prior TO
1850, he returned to Boston from one of
these voyages, and thence to Nantucket,
bringing with him the first box of tea that
was ever landed upon the island. The town
was then west of the present site. The Star
bucks lived upon farm near Maddakct. The
owner of the ship to which Mr.. Starbuck was
attached came here from Boston to make him
visit. Mrs. Starbuck was desired by her
husband to make a cup Of tea. She said
she knew no way to cook it. "Nether do ], 80
said he, "but make it the best way you can.
She took bcll-metal kettle and boiled up
about gallon. She arranged the table like
good wife, with a silver porringer for each
guest, sugar, cream, etc. On came the tea in
silver tankard, When they were all seated
at the table, Mrs. Starbuck said to her dis
tnguished visitor 81 have made dish of tea
for thee, but fear | have not done it as it
should be, and would like to have thy opin-
ion" "Wel,' said he, las you have desired
my opinion, | must say spoonful of this
beverage would kill either of as at the table,"
lie then instructed her how to draw it, hay-
ing been accustomed to its use. When done
they returned to the table, and had one of
those jovial sittings usually enjoyed by our
convivial ancestors.

1865 there will be another revision, and the
west is determined not only to secure fair
representation on the white basis, but just
taxation. by taxing slaves according to their
market value. This purpose has shown it.
self on several occasions during the present
session of the Virginia legislature, and il will
no doubt be accomplished as the west or free
portion has the numerical strength.
II is on this ground that schemes for inter
nal Improvements in the west part Of the
State are opposed by the eastern members.
On these schemes some six millions are asked
Of the Legislature at the present session. The
state is already in debt to the amount of thir-
ty-ive millions and half, chiefly for improve
ments in the eastern sections. The slayohold-
ers are now disposed to shut down on i'm
ments, especially as they anticipate that after
1858 they will be compelled to pay their
proper share Of the taxes growing out of the
debt. Here tho controversy is distinctly be-
tween the interests of freedom and slavery,
with nearly moral certainty that the former
will prevail, and that the result will hasten
the day Of Virginia's delvorence from the
curse Of ignorant and thriftloss labor.
In North Carolina there is a similar con-
troversy. There are comparatively few slaves
IN the western part of the state, and not long
since a movement was commenced by the
Democratic party, for taxing slaves according
to their value, like other property. But the
Shareholders began to make a row about the
matter, and the leaders Of the party saw that
they were likely to lose it, and so dropped it.
But a workingmens association in the west
ctn counties has taken it up, and the discus
sion will be kept alive. In neither Virginia
nor North Carolina is the effort to tax the
slaves based on any avowod hostility to slave
ry. But that is undoubtedly the secret mo-
tive with many Of the non-slaveholdcrs, who
must be conscious that their interests and the
interests Of slavery are irreconcilably antago-
nistic. And whatever may be the intent Of
the movement, it must act against slavery to
just the extent that it succeeds in turning the
attention Of the people to the subject

WOULDN'T DE "SuRrRIsED. The Buffalo

house of Dean Richmond. In full feather,
with eatables, and drinkables. and music, the
self-inyited guests, tothe number Of two humid
red, drove up to the Deans door, rang the
bell, and prepared for rush in. But they
reckoned wrong. Dean answered the bell in
person, and of course blocked up the entrance.
He politely asked the business of the leader
of the party. lie was informed that it was
surprise party. He assured them that he
was not surprised at all was not surprised
at anything nowadays; did not intend to
have party that night; when he wanted one,
he would make proper preparations, and bid
the guests himself. He wished them pleas
ant good night and closed the door.
