IA .1 "A ftrnnger iu these parts, I reckon iw I wo? fatigued by a week*? traveling by the stage coach, over what they called an ualbgator road," (the fates deliver me from such another,) and wn? not dispoeod to Ikj very civil, and certainly not in a very agreeable humor, so, without raising my eyes from the floor, merely nodded my head with, *'vm,,you reckoned right l'or the lirst time. A chair was placed by my side, and I was preparing to bo very uncivil, when ho oontinned: . .U1 4tUrcat country this, sir, but no i a i i ir v more to oo compared 10 oiu jventucK than an Alabama River alligator to one of onr racehorses. A light tVom your weed, stranger," sivid lie, outstretch ing his hand to me. &-i''*" Ilia peculiar tone and address amused me, and excited my curiosity, for the first tinio, I looked up, and, with a half 6mile at his far-lctched simile, offered liiui my cigar. He was apparently about thirty J ears of age?sun burnt, and dusty ; is neck; which was almost bare, was encircled by a broad collar turned far back from the throat; his chin was beardless, but an incipient m?tacht? a domed his tipper lip, and his eye was like albx's, so bright and cunning its' expression. llis dress was evidently intended toi bo but the tailor had oversteped the mark by embellishing \\icjancy\ coat with a very wide-figured braid or binding, extending round the edges.? ; In his hand he held a riding-whip, | with which he amused himself barelessly striking the tops of his bo t*. Leaning toward ino, he continued in a rather low and confidential tone, for tl.ee were many others in the room : I %4Ycry good people in this section, lmt not up to tlio boys that' drive round Louisville. I knew you' ii'iien'f ltivul 11\ i ! f i 3f k no rfe n e a'u\n no T I ?? wii u u^vvi Jta u1ujv |'iii u- V*J o ?wii cio X 1 saw yonr gait, when you drove up to, the door and walked into the har-j room; reckon you're ironi old Iven-J tnck, or Virginia perhaps?they raise good stock in Virginia, too !" "Yes,'1 said I, smiling, 'Tin told they J do, but I'm not so fortunate as to come from either State; my home is at the North, in New York." ''Wellyon1 ?c along road to travel," said he. ''Going to make any stop in this place V "No, 1 take the coach to-night to Columbus." "All right, wc go the same road, "for I've used nj> this one horse place ?feold the last pair of ponies I had today." "Had you many horses when you came here ?" "N??, I sold all but one pair of little Canadians before I arrived at this place. I started with forty head." "Indeed f" said I; "you must be a dealer in horses. May I ask what you got for that last pair of ponies ?" "Yes, that's been mv prolcsson fori somo years, but I should give tip the; business, didn't I hate to see people; ride such horseflesh as they do in some parts of Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. It goes against my feelings.? Now, that last span of little Canadians t > i 1 ituriy gave away, as you may say. for I only gut Jive hundred dollars lor themdidu'y sell a pair of tho others for less than seven hundred." "But," said I, somewhat surprised, "that must have paid you very handsomely." "Gave nn interest on my money, von know, which is all I care to make. Thev cost me, laid down in Kcntuck, with all expenses from Canada, about forty-five-dollars a piece; but as 1 said before, the most I care about it is to see people ride good horses ; 'taint the little money I make that is any object." I said nothing, but was not. altogether convinced of his disinterested motives. The coach drove up to the door, and the nijjht being fine, I mounted the seat with the driver, and had hardly ? .nK.rl v>i/>! <> uiv iiif-lfv rrmviMini/vn o HHW "V 1 nlso mounted, ond took the vacant scat by my side, and again commenced, while I, resigning myself to the force of circumstances, listened. "Sold one old ho*se that is pretty well known round this section, 1 reck03, but no one kncjws it yet though ; ?>!d him to the same man f bought hi n of tast year. I'm afraid he'll be prjfano when ho finds out lie's got the same old nag again. But I let hm judge for himself. He thinks, he's H<,mi at a tra<U\ but it takes two tu do that, you know, stranger. You sec he don't cure much for Jast horses, hut likes 0 gay animal, that will show oft' well before the women ; *so, when I was here last year, I gold hiin a splendid nair, one of the handsomest and best * horses I ever saw; hut I knew ho would soon take the fiesh oft' of him, and cool his spirit, by keeping him dancing round the streets, and I would be pretty likely to get him back again cheap; ho paid mc seven hundred dollars in gold, and gare tne an old 1<uomO broken-down horso iu exchange, 'with a long switch tailynrid* m?ut> tli^Ucpked, #* though it had never been combed. ]Well, I took the nag homo with incu had Iiiin ! rubbed down every day, well-fed, and ! in a few months made liiiu as fat add j " lively 'kus a two-year old.5' Bui, mind ; you, 'twas all oats, and a week's driv- [ mg would hnvema.de a frame of him a-, | gain.

I told him , 11 thought he might be in want for a1 match for tlio horso I sold him lastl year. As I expected, lie said he^ 1 might want another, for tch horse he' bought of nio teas used? vp, and thin j as a rally 4iWeU," said I, 'Tvc got the very j thing you want ; something hard to | beat, Very stylish, fine action, young | and ambitious; but you mustn't ex-: j peet mc to give him to you for voth- ! j hufi as I did that 'other horse. Yon } ! can't have this one less than ninc-hun-1 deed dollars, and when yon see him, you'll say he's cheap at a thousand.?* And oft'I started to bring him, after : giving him a few cuts with the whip, . just to wake him up before mounting. 11 soon was putting him through his juices before the door, to the aduuia \ ion of Mr. G. and a lew idlers that were standing near. After sonic little persuasion, 1 permitted him to mount i liiir, bat not until I had given many cautions, saying ho was so lively, young, and scarcely broke?(I should have said broke down, he Ianghingl added.! Well, lie liked him much ; dine action.* said he, looking very knowing, 'and | good grit,' but I'm afraid lie's not so j young as you think ami uiv,?: cxnui-j ining his mouth, he said, in an under-! tone to one of Ids companions standing near, 'not (t day over six year, sot I'm no judge /' and, turning to nio, said he, 'I will give you just seven hundred and fifty'dollars for him/ " "Kot a dollar lef-s than nine," said I.' "Say seven hundred dollars, and the horse I bought of you last year," he urged. " 'Ticovld le money oat of jodeff said I, hut didn't say ichosc pocket, ' mind von, for I don't like to deceive \ people; "but," said J, "just fur ohi nc-j <ju.untiu.ee sake, and as you have alii s paid the cash down, as a gentle-j I man should do when he yets a bargain,j I'll say eight bundled dollars, mid the1 j old nag I M'ld you last year, though he ! wasn't i.e/er to be compared with thb. j 'ere one!" i After some hesitation, just for the} i<u->!.-a /.rt-i... iUIM.

J reckon when ' i he inane and tail of the horse he's now got, begins to sprout again, some of his i ' friends will recognize him, if lie don't." j j On my saying I shotud like to visit) ! Kentucky, he said : I "If you do como stranger, just in-1 ouirc tor mo, and I'll sell yon as good a horse to take on to York as you ov-1 or threw a leg over, and let you have him at a lair price." [ I thanked him, and at the same1 ' time assured him, should I visit Ken-: i tucky, 1 should not fail to lind him ' ; out, and more especially should I think 1 i of purchasing "horse flesh," being now fully convinced of his disinterested i motives in following his profession ofj a jocky, and of which profession 11 doubted not he was one of the bright! est ornaments.?

Regularly Sold Oat } During the month of January, 1850, j while stopping at the Senter House in J Sacramento City, California, I accident-1 lv overheard a conversation between two gentlemen, one of whotn was from I Now York city, and had been in the! i country nearly a year, and the other; one had just arrived. The New corner waa lamenting his! condition, and his folly in leaving an j i abundance at borne, and especially two beautiful daughters, who were just bud-1 ding into womanhood, when he asked i the New W orker ifhc had a family. | Yea, sir; I have a wife and six chil-j ' dron in New York?and I never saw | one oi I hem.

Another lapse of silence. I)i<l I understand you to say, sir, that von had a wife and dix children living in Now York, and had never seen one of them. <Yes sir, I so stated it. Another and longer pause of silence. Then the interrogator inquired : How can it be, sir, that you never saw one of them. Why, was the response, one of them was born after I left. Oh, nh, and a general laugh followed and after that the New Y orker was especially distinguished as the man who had six children and bad never ,' seen one of 1 hem.
