II M WEODING EXCURSION/ The evening tlie ceeniony was per* formed which made Tim and Rachel a unit, and ihe company had "liquored" all mound, Tim, having p<ovi. uslv VUalked it up" with Ruche!, boldly announced the desperate resolution of starting the next morning on a lour of obscivation. "He had always bin iu hum," he snid, "and never seen nuthsn, and now lie was going str.nis.rht to G , and afore he cnme back he would see n steamboat, if there was any sue a thing, mivhow." The village of G was about fift v miles distant, lying on the Ohio tiver, and a journey there from Tim's ivM'Icnce, in thore days, was deemed n great unce- ?i.: " ?< .1 . .1 1.. rr* i i tttrviuk;. k7v?im* \.m iiiirui mmigiit Aim imu taken leave of ln? senses, or certainly lie was not in earnest, but he assured tiiem bo was, nnd the next morning, tackling up 'old gray,' nnd putting in a supply of povk nnd beans for the journey, 7ini and t' o -nw Mrs. //uggitis started on their bridal tour. The second day the hopeful pair, without accident, arrived at G. Just as they were entering the town. if. so happened that the steamboat Pennsvlvnnii wns rounding to make n binding. Tim caught sight of her smoke pipes, nnd. in nn ecstasy of wonder and delight, c:ied out: "There she comes now, bv hokev! Look at tier, Ra.'hl Je-ru-sn lem! .le?i as Squire Stokolv ?smoke like n burning foller. Sh 'a coming into shore, tu! .1 ?*mima, what n crook! furder nco^ than from nur house to Shadlow's mill!

By this time 'gray' was nvide fast, and Tim and Rachel were moving cautiously in the direction of the boat.. "iNo balking, Rachel, I'm going -?n to her." The plank was out. and Tim, followed closely by Rachel, boldly up, and soon stood nlongMde tbe engitv. "See bow she sweats?they must have put her tlnough." said Tim. "I sav.old boss," mid Tim, addressing tbe engineer, "move her jints n litile, I want to see how she travels." "She'll move di'ectlv." said the man of steam, "better keep out of her way." Tim and Rachel now wended theii way to the main eek. and so completely were they absorbed with what they saw, mac tnoy (lid not observe (ho preparations milking for her departure. At the last warning tap of the hell. Tim thought thoievnust he iimei-ting Fomewheve, hut had no idea it was anvthing which eoneernrd him. 'At lengih, as Tim afterwards expressed if, "she begun to breathe hard, and tins water began to smash," and Tim, fortlie first time, observed that they wore in tho midst, of the river. "llello here, old boss!" screamed Tim: "I say capt'n, what are you about? where you going tu?" 'J''iey were now under full headway, and 1 mi saw the town and old gray dis appearing like magic." .'in ? ? .... . ? lnunner: wnv don't you hold her in?' roared Tim; "she's running away.? What'll I do. Oh, Lord, cuss the critter ?can't she he brought to?" A wjig, who comprehended poor Tim's predicament ohscrved: "You 'ire in for it now, my f'iend: we don't, stop again til we get to Orleans" "I (old you to keep away from the blasted vcrmint, Tim IIug<jins," screamed Rachcl, "now what will become of us?" Tim was in despair. At that moment the steamer's whistle uttered one of its sharpest notes, and Tim's hair stood on end. "She's loo e. pquealin' and kiokin'!" shrieked Tim.

They occupv a middle ground between the hasty, disjointed, and necessarily imperfect records of the newsr>ar>ers. and the nbihorntn nnfl nnnilnmno , , ; f?j?y treatises to be furnished by t*.e historian fit a future day. Whoever re ids these periodicals obtains a correct nml connected account of nil the important political events of the old .world, as they occur, and learns the vaiious conclusions drawn from them by the leading spit its of the nge. The American Publishers therefore deem it proper to call renewed attention to the w >rks they republish and the very low prices ait which they are offered to subscribers. The following is their list, viz: THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW, THE EDINBURGH REVIEW, THE NORTH DRITI8H REVIEW, THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and RLAOKWOOD'S KDINIKTROM MAGAZINE. In these periodicals arc contained tho views, moderately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the three greai parties in England?Tory, Whig, and Radical?"Blackwood" nnd tho "London v^unnunv are JLOrv ; tne "KUnburgh Review" Whig: an I the "W?Mtmitcr'' Review" Liberal. The "North British Review" owes its cstahlishmcj t to tlie lust grra* ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, und is not ultra in its views on iny one of the grand departments of human knowledge; it was o i finally edited by Dr. Chalmers, and now, since bis death, is conducted bv bis son-in-law, Dr. //anna, associated with Sir Dnvid Brewster. Iu literary character is of the very highest order. The 'Westminster,' though reprinted under that thlo r>nly, i-? published in England under the tirlo of the 'Foreign Quarterly and Westminster, 1 it bt ing in facta union of tho two Reviews formerly published under separate titles. It has therefore, the ndndvantage bv this combination, of uniting in one work the best features of both as heretofore issued. The above Periodicals aro reprinted io New York, immediate!on their arrival by the British steamers, in a beautiful clear type, on fini white tinner, and nr? faithful copies of ?he originals, BlacVwoocTn Mugnzine being an exoct facsimile of the Edinburgh edition.
