Adventure upon the Read.

The following curious circumstance i,
from Nights at Mess" published il
Blackwood's Magazine. About thirty
years ago, Mr.. B having at that time
newly commenced business in Edinburg
was returning on horseback from the
city to a cottage he had near CramonJ
1t was wild night in November, and
though he usually took the seaside as
the shortest way home, he resolved thi:
evening, on account of the increasing
darkness, te keep on the high road
When he had proceeded about three
miles from town, and had come to the
loneliest part of the way, be was sudden,
ly arrested by man, who sprang out Of
a small copse BY the roadside, and sciz.
ed the bride Of his horse. Mr. B. was
a man of great calmness and resolution
and asked the man the reason of his be-
havior, without betraying the smallest
symptom Of agitation. Not SO the as.
sailant. lie held the bride in his hand,
but Mr.. 3. remarked that it trembled
excessively. After remaining some
time as if irresolute what to do, and
without uttering q word, he let 90 his
hold Of the rein, and said in trembling
! yoicc. ''Passon sr. pass On" and thep
b. added. 'shank Heaven an ss,st Ee,
from crime"
Mr.. B. was struck With the manner
and appearance Of the man, and said
Il fear you are in distress--is there
anything in which stranger can assis
you ?"
"Strangcrs may, perhaps" replied
the man, for nothing is to be hoped
from friends
"You sprak, / hope, under some mo
mentary f'eliag Of disappointment

Let us not teach and preach so much,
But cherish, rather than profess;
be careful how the thoughts we touch
Of God, and Love, and Holiness.

Our great Continental Hotel in Chestnut street
will probably be opened for the reception of inmates
in about fortnight. 1t is the great tavern of Phil
adephia as much so to US now as the Astor was to
you when first instituted. The furniture is now
going into some of the rooms, while others are re-
ceivng the finishing touches. Ii contains $50 rooms
so distributed and arranged that every one is fully
supplied with light. Every possible convenience of
modern architecture has been introduced in bound
less profusion. Of the chambers, 800 are supplied
with hot and cold water, and there are 80 bath
rooms similarly furnished with water. There are
90 water closets the different floors A tank on
the roof contains 1000 gallons of water from which
ppes lead off for the supply of hose in of fire.
The water tax for the building has been fixed at
$1,000 the first year, and meter will be used to
ascertain the annual consumption. \ steam engine
will be constantly at work in the basement, and will
operate sort of passenger railway or dumb-waiter
for conveying boarders from the ground floor to all
the upper stories without the labor of walking Up
stairs Another similar contrivance has been provid-
ed for the hOisting and lowering of baggage. The
Continental is probably the largest and most costly
public house in the Union and will meet with abun
dant patronage ..
