"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'

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

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 then .cut oft' his main and
j tail, trimed his fet-locka, aud Jiltd his
teeth tn make him look young, and
) brought hhi??among my horses this j
j time. Whefi I saw Mr. <4. 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!"

! nH; the cilit hundred dollars, just cue J
I hundred dollars more than he gave j
! tor the oilier one, and got hi* own old
i home hack again, and 1 rode oil" on a !
; horse that, in three months will be as'
' good as he over was. 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.? IS. Magazine.

} 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.
After this reply ti e couple sat. a few
; moments in silence, then the iutcrrogu-!
: ter again commence*! :
i Were you blind, sir ?
n ' No sir.
Did vou marrv a widow, sir ?
" T> , ? v.'

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. ' ^ ,

IN issuing 'tfio Prospoctm of tfie twenty
second ultimo oftheSOUTllfcftN LITERARY
MESSENGER, the Proprietors reIv
solely on the encouraging lectors *pd
promises of the friends of tho Messenger, to
aid them in exteuding its circulation, end
they beg to assure the public, that iio iexertions
will be remitted on their part fo main-;
tain tho iiigh character of the work, and tochalonge
tho patriotism of all who value stef-"
ling literary merit. For Twontv ouo V?iiP# J
the Messenger has endeavored fo reflect
faithfully the Southern miud, v.hile disdaining
all narrow and sectional views, and 1)4*
been alone among the monthly periodicals
of America in defence of the peculiar lusti
tutions of the Southern States. To this office
it will still be devoted, aiid will be
prompt to repel assaults upon the South,
whether the)' come under the specious garb
of fiction, or in the dircot form of nnti slavery
pamphlets. At this critical juncture, while '
our enemies arc employing literature as their
most potent weapons of attack, tho Southern
people will surely not withhold their en- - *
couragcmcnt from a woik whoso aim it shall
be to strike blows in their defence.
The Messenger will, as heretofore, pre- _ M
sent its readers with Reviews, Historical
and Biographical Sketches, Novels, Travel*,
Essays, Poems, Critique*, and Papers on r"
tho Army, Navy, and other National Subject*.
V
With a view to ensure a larger circulation
of the Messenger, the Proprietor?,

! size of the work, have reduced the Price of J
: Subscription, which is now onlv THREE
