* THE HIGH-METTLED RACER.
BY CIIA ltl.KS J. F4ASTKU
MSay nothing of his having been with j
the horso, upon any account, till n'tor the }
race. Your father and Henley will keep !
quiet as a mutter of course, and the rack ,
would not extract a word of truth front
Jolly in theso circumstance*. Mark ni<v|
young man! I will, with Mr. Hawthorn*!
assistance, have every betting man in the
town, and Dobson, too, can-fully sounded,
by oilers to take the odds against Stridea
way, in less than two hours, if lie has
been tampered with, they know it; and
their eagerness to lay against hi in will betray
their knowledge. A horsq of It !
game and speed is too dangerous a cm-to .
liior for tlietn to g?> against for a gn at
amount "at long odds, unless they know 1
llim to have been ''made safe." M aiitiuio. ,
lei the hor.m lest, and take JoliyV advice '
as to bringing him to the post. We will
end him down." So saying, 1 >r. Itv<h-r

Bay town races were over. Tom Thorn

was instructed lo )>ull him up, when be
found that lie was beaten, and he promptly
did so. This result, fulfilling the pivdic
lio'n of the Knsign, and humbling Tom
Thornton, pulled up the former even to a
til ore extravagant degree than before.
It was the evening aflor .Mr. Dobsou's
return from the i.tces, (hat ho culled upon
the worthy miller at his own house. The
sub.. .utia1. gentleman to whom Mr. Uobson
nddresbcd himself upon entering the rooiu,
received his visitor with a s?>rt of growling
toleration, according very well with bisp-r?onal
appearance and present occupation
About the nge of Hfty, of tall and heavy
build, with thick, beetling oye-brows, and
bull-Jog sort of expression about the mouth.
Mr. Philip ilenlcy looked exactly like a
miller who 'Vared for nobody, no, not he!"
Attiied in a shabby suit <>t" pepper-and-salt
colored c! th, and n low crowned white hat,
lie sat. smoking a pipe, tn a largo ling-Lot
loiucd chair, from which 1m did Hot rise
when Mr. Dohson entered. Tlic miller
prided himself upon being a plain <*t>okoii
man, ?? bo "Ui-idered a man of his "weightof-melai
?.01 hu was wor.h fifty thousand
pot .nd*?had a light to be. Al this pur
l.cuUi juncture lie was inclined to be exceedingly
plain spoken, fur bo wai in nu
amiable humor. MiJlenley was looking
out ?>f tho window, and Miss I >obson w ?a
fidgetting uneasily in a chair by iter side,
al as great a distance from the amiable miller
as she could eon vertically g*'t.
"I understand, Mr. Henley, that Oid
Thornton has lost above a thousand pounds
Upon this race," said Dobson.
"More fool he!" said tho miller, seuU.ntiouslv.
"Undoubtedly. There never was such
infatuation as they have been the victims
of. After the repeated w arnings I gave to
tho young fellow, it was ridiculous presumption
for them to suppose their horse
could possibly win."
Tho tuillor turned a stern eye upon Dob
son, took a deep draught of his ale. knock
ed tho ashes out of bis pipe, refilled it, and
went on smoking without reply.
"I consider that those who lost upon that |
raco are perfect unmitigated fools, sir,"
said Dobson.
"What the devil do'c mean bv that?"
cried tho miller, with a surly scowl. ".I'm
cursod, if I didn't back that horao mysel*'." :
"I am misunderstood, sir; entirely mis
understood. 1 mean thoso who owned tho 1
horso and trained him, and had cveiy op
portunity of knowing what he was. The
way in which they have deceived others,
ami induced them to bet by misrcprc-san- i
tations, is as shameful, as their own foolish
confidence was deplorable. I wish I <-..nl.l
ncquit the young fnintor ot blarae," said
Dobson, with a si.lo look at the belle. <
"Yon knotved this ijos~> wouldn't win,.
heyr
"lliat was my decided opinion, often expressed,
sir," fund Dobson, with much complacence.
"Why didn't 'o express it to me?" i .
"I did not think von were a belling man, i
sir." | 1
"I bon't, ssi; but they got me to lay this
time. Told me I was Mire to win, rot 'cm!'' j
"Is it possible!" said Dobson, with an on- \
deavor at sympathy.
"Had 1 supposed that designing per- t
ons wero misleading one whom 1 so great* I
ly respect, I should have interposed, sir; I |
should have spoken* these shameful niacin- I
nations would have been defeated." r
"ft was my uncle who told lather that 1
the horse was sum to win," : aid Miss Hen- i
ey, with some displeasure. I \
"And Tom Thornton as well," said thole
miller, with a snarl.
"If he did, he was mistaken, father, and , c
that's all. Ho would knowingly deeeivo no t:
one, much loss you Ho may have been v
foolishly confident, hut I nm certain lie J am
thought Stridoatvay sure to win." Ue<
"Who eavs iio didn't! Will that put'
mtwoy in rny pocket ngpn! I nrk 'o that,' Mi
jrall? Confident or not, 1'vo loft my money, ? a
and Ids father has lost his; and now 1 sot
don't want hi* won hero after my da'ter, tlri
and so I tell 'e candid! 1 tell 'o that candid!"
ftddod the miller, in his most plain- P'?
Spoken and singularly agreeable ill aim nr. j th<
The bede, with'her lace sufficed with : bis
blushes, looked at her respectable lather, as
if more annoyed than surprised at his can- j fee
dor; which sho perhaps had exported ho- I d
fore. Mis JLtohson simpered, :md covered '
her face with her fan, for the miller's Ian- f"?
guago was, to say the least, uiigontoei, vol
though not altogether unpleasant to the '
earn of the Dobsons. '
Miss Ilenley was high-? pi riled. With a '
proud glaiice at Miss J)obron, ntid without '
noticing the pantomimic signals of the En- his
sign, who had posted himself behind old , !"?
lteniey's chair, she replied, "Win titer Mr.: I'ri

"1|?n inc. if I don't mean to tell him 1
sof ghll! T mean to fell him, candid. What cri
he you a doing now? You heu't going out her
to-night agen?" sard the miller, observing ' 'c,
that she had risen and put on her bonnet.
"I am going to aunt's, father," said Mi<- "I i

"Well, go on! nnd shot tlie garden gate | wit

ing, the itrller turned to his pipe and tnnlc- tna
aid. leaving Mr. nnd Miss L>ol>suti to s die '" <
out of the ro<.in unabsolved.
Meantime. Mr. Pom Thornton and .loe. u
the groom, had arrived at home with Stride
ntvuy. It was iienr the evening hour, when ~
they led iiim through the straggling village ; l''
street of Woodhourne, apparently mi good ,
health. Men shook their heads and stood
aloof novv, who had bef ro been eager to 'iareccve

' nine like sonic conquering liero, surround- "U(

and with all the lw?y* of the iininlel follow- Cl"
ing :u n icspectable distance. Some who, vv,k
on other occasions, had alivnvs known that '
he would "do the trick," now assured every ''or
body that they had always been convinced sir?
of his inferiority, if thoroughly tested. And ?'"l
when u whs suggested titat lio was unwell, f??
they replied, to tho intense indignation of |
the fat trainer, "Who ?ncr heard of a horse lf0'

li letice in his powers was unshaken. And yai
when they were at the Thorndikc Farm, nbt
after Tom had thrown olf hin coat, rubbed con
him down, and carefully tended him, 1??- she
stood with his hand upon his crest, and con
said, "lie shall boat the winnerot thai inco, the
Joe, bv heaven!' pas
"If lie could go against them bosses j lic.i
again to-morrow, he would win in a cantor," , stn?
said the groom. i ed

"And that ain't 'lie only thing; he's

So saying, Mr Thornton looked the stable
door, si it '1 went to his supper. After
that meal he dressed hiinsell with some, tKS
care, intending to visit the miller's, and 'uM
have an interview with Miss Henley. What lI!
would she say? wai llio question which at i','11
present mainly interested him. If she ro * f,:
grettorl the lost iace, and encouraged him
to look forward to another, why nil was well. ln"
Si.< idea way .-liould win the limit, letiieve Irs ! iu'\

confusion. Whatever Mr. Hampton and ma
Pr. ltvdcr might have 1 wned about th.-t ',rtf
gentleman, to confirm their suspicions, t'liey
liad .-aid nothing to any hut young l it >rn- l,i'ton;

j 1.IX Vll.I.K HIVKH. tl
There are numbers of natural curiosities
throughout tlie ShrntL which are never seen )"
or heard of except by some adventurous
traveller, and known intimately only by
j the intrepid mountain hunter. Thus those
curiosities remain unnoted, while yearly
j thousands of our citii- n* go Northwards in 11
; search of health or pleasure. Among such ''
may bu classed the Kails of the I.iuville
; liiver, iu Durke county. We dou'ol not '
I but uutubers <>f persons in tiurke county ''
! t.evur heard of tltein. They aie to be found P
! in the not th west corner of that county, near ?
to that famous tree upon which tho lour Hl
counties of Burke, Watauga, Yancey and u
Mcl> 'At*!! coiner, and about nine miles c)
from the IVidin nl Spiings. The facilities "
for getting to them are n? yet ahont no fa- l'
cii:, ,c at a'l ? aii idea may hofoi mod by our t|

mutated and proceeded on fuel, being una- 11

soon readied liio liver, the din of the wa- tl
tcrfall having for some time been turning ii
in our ears, we then eros-od it, to do so be- in
1 ing c impelled to put certain portions of our tr
per.sou iu a stale of nature. Having crossel,
wopioeei led down the eastern hank 1)
through n wild :md irregular growth ofivv,
laurel and whortleberry bushes. It is ra- t|
thcr - I.? ^nl -it tliat on th" west bank of the |,

or where we crossed it has as clear,smooth, a
an appeaianco as any mountain stream; it (j
' sue. becomes agitated l?y slight rapids, un- jj
| ti! suddenly it is divided by a huge rock, jr
and dashes over a fall of about twenty feet: pt
j it then boils and surges in a most terrific ^
mamur for about two hundred yards, the (
| while falling three several times, twisting (||
1 and turning in every shape that human sj
i imagination can fancy. j,
Following our guide wo seated our?elf g(
on the 'op of a rock around the base of tj(
which the river rushes in its wild career. pl(
About forty feet below us on one side dashed
the troubled waters of the Linvillc, on ^
the otiier thc-o same waters, having forcoil jn
; themselves through a passage tot mote
than ten Jet: wide, made their descent over
the last and highest fall. llcro the mist w
i was rising, and the lays of the sun, as it shone [ ^
I through which caused the peculiar view, re*
1 scmbles so much the sulphurous flames 1 j
1 which llunynn so well describes as arising' | j
from a certain dark abode, that it gives the j
' cavern under the lower fall the name of the
l?evil's Hole. Our position was a com- ^
manding one, but not such as a person with
weak nerves should seek. As we gazed i
far down the couiso of the river, we could C(
: see the stream again assume its compara- cj
lively placid appearance, but now, instead l0
of banks almosl even with its bed, it was ^
locked in by an impenetrable mass of i ^
chimney rocks, which continue for miles I .
down its co.ir&o, rising in the most majestic |u
giandeur to a height of one, two and lhre< (|(
hundred feet, and in same places nearly to
a thousand. At ono j out wo are inform- (
cd the u?ek? close t.ver tiio liver, and it is ^
easy for a p- rson to jump hum one l?ank
to the other. sj
The grand sublimity of the scenery which

ivision, has a visible unity, it being th
istory of seven successive days, The secoiii

nilted in their proper place. After noti

| ipier.-1 Egypt, his object was to attack
1 , t lie it 1mitain in India, and thus obtain ad
~ vantage- iu l. i-i ;>-. What the uncle's ge'
nius f tiled to attain, the nephew has achieved
by tIvfoice of circumstance*. Trie prossent
trouble.., in India are a triumph for
France, since tlioy have compelled Ureal
I 1'iitnin to abandon to a rival the supreroaH1'
cv in Turkey which she has exercised for
" J many years.
hi- a mistake, however, to regard this
as a pi-rs n.il triumph of Napoleon, due on~
Iv t-? . is sagacity and far-seeing policy. It
1 is true that by Ids alliance with England
and the Russian war, lie made Europe forget,
or f'm to forget, the Usurper iu the
Emperor, and, without danger to himself,
J gave France what she wanted and exnpctI
c
?r
? .i ironi tiie successor of Napoleon I, namec
ly, military glory, and n powerful position
in the family of nations. But the war once
\ concluded, and all the advantages of the
alliance obtained, it depended, uot upon
j N:ipole<?n, but upon the feelings and interests
of the French people, whether the aliiL
ance-hould be continued. It is not forgot
t-'ii by France how sorely she was humbled
ami slighted by England in the Syrian affair,
under Louis Philippe; and had Louia
I Napoleon, in the case of the Danubian
I Principalities, consented to yield again to
1 England, the French people would have regarded
it as a second humiliation, and a
j. sacrifice of the national honor. For lite
preservation of the entente cordial*, Louis
Philippe made many and great sacrifice*,
^ I and the consequence was, that disconteni
1 and irritation were general among the peo
L j pie, at the disregard of their interests for
the profit of England, and the personal ad,
| vantage of their Sovereign. Louis Napoleon
cannot afford to expose himself to the
same reproach. He hears those who are
the warmest friends of the alliance with
1 England insisting that the feelings and
wants of their nation must be duly regard|
ed, as an essential condition to its continuance;
and he knows that among the most
prominent of his statesmen, and the warmest
Botiaparlists, civil and military, there U
a powerful party who consider an alliance
" with "perfidii us Albion," contrary to the
interests of Fianco, and w ho regard Russia
