A YANKEE AT THE

ADAMS HOUSE,

Down Easter, attired in one of thoaecoa tumes which are nowhere to hornet with except upon the alage a tall bell*crowned white hat, short waisted blue coal w?tb enormous pewter buttons, and a vest ns yaller as a barberry blossom, and a pair of corduroys whose highest ambition seem ed to be to maintain their ascendanev over a pair of enormous cowhides that had trodden many a hundred miles of log ging-patbs, 'might have been seen.' Jac knife and shingle in hand, wending his way up Long wharf, in the realizition of his long anticipations of 'seein' Boston.' At the comer of Merchants' Ho* his pro gress was arrested by the lumbering Iran sit of a two story house on wheels, drawn by a half a dozen yoke of oxen, with the people at work inside pursuing their u* ual avocations. •What on airth is that ere?' he asked of a bystander. 'Oh! nothinY replied townev 'the folks are only moving—that's all.' When we move down here, we do it house and all.' 'Jerusalem! Wall! that bents all na ture. Wall, cap'n what's that big stun house over the left •That's the new Custom House. It* a mighty bad location—but they're going to move it next week.' 'Thunder and molasses*! It'll take all the oxen in creation for 10 start her.' •Oh! they use elephants for waving §ucb large buildings.' •How many elephants it'll take.' •Upwnrds of a hundred.'

The Yankee cut a deep gnsh in his shingle and walked on. He next enquired for the Adams House, for he had 'heard tell' of that, and was determined to progress during his juvioility, beingaware of the impossibility of doing so at a more advanced age.

He soon found the'tavern,'and the deacon,' and ordered accommodations, liher aliy 'darningnil expense.' Having 'slick ed up a little, he witnessed with some a mazement the operations of a servant on a gong, simply remarking thal'he know'd what sheet lightnin' was, but this was the fust he'd ever henrd of sheet ihunder.'— He followed the crowd into the dining hall and wns ushered to a seat where he esconced himself tucking.his towel under his chin with a sort of desperation as it he was going to be stnved.

The sight of covered dishes added to his amazement. 'Dod dern ii! he exclaimed, *ef ever 1 heerdofcookin'on the table! but here they have gone nnd sot tin-kitch-ens all over the lot. Whir's the fire to come from—that's what I'd like to know-

He got along with the soup very well, and was pausing for breath, before be finished it, when a waiter snatched his plate and was running oft*with it. 'Hello! you sir!' vociferated the Yankee —*1 seo you—Fetch that 'ere buck quicker'n link lightning, or else' you'll have your head punched.'

His plate was returned and he finished his soup with dignity. After waiting ti moment, he raised his voice agtin, and summoned the offending waiter sternly. •Kalkerlato to starve me?' 'No sir:' •Wall—why don't vou fetch on some fresh fodder—darn ye?' 'There's the carte, sir.' •Where's the cart 1 And what in the thunder am I to do with the cart when I've got it? Look out you pesky sarpint. or vou'll catch it.' •the bill of fare.' 'I don't pay my bill till I've had mv fodder.'

The waiter humbly explained his mean ing. •What's all these crack-jnw names meant Give me somethin' plain and hearty—biled corn beef and fetch it about the quickest-- while I look over the paper nnd s«e what else I'll hev.' The meat was brought him.

Hold on!' was the next order. 'What's this here? M-a-c-e-a—-Read it, wont you sir. •Maccaroni, sir,' •Ail right cap'n. flurry it up.

The dish was brought. 'You eternal cuss!' roared the Down Raster—'ef I hain't as gieat a mind ns ever hed to ker wallop yer, and make an example of ye on the spot. What do you mean by runnin' your rigs on me je*t beenmo I'm a strangor in these p^ritf Take awnv yer hiled pipe stems, and fetch us som» cabbage. That's right and now squire some vinegar,' •Vinegar in the castor str,' replied the waiter, and made good hi* retreat. 'In the castor is it—-hey?' Solilnquited the Yankee, 'and where in the thunder is the castor!'

The gentleman opposite pu«heU it to wards him. fie looked at it—took th^ stopper out of the vinegnr and inking ui the castor by the bottom, turned it up But all the cruets manifested a desire to illustrate the laws of gravity and leap from their locations and the Yankev was compelled to set it down again. 'Jerusalem!* ho exclaimed. 'This here is a curious contrivance and no mistake. How on earth am I to get at the tarnal vinegar! I'll try it once more,*

Again ha canted thn castor, but thi* lime all the stopples tumbled out. •Thunde ration!' he mired 'there** a pretty mess. Darn it all!—here I've goi the darned castor all into my gravy, and the darned red Jead on sny canhnge and all over my 'later. Darn the thing 1 •ay.' 'My friend,' said the gentleman oppo tit* with a strong control over his risible muscles, 'it appears to me, if I were in want of he vinegar, that should take the vinegar cruet out of the etand and by that mean* 1 ahouid avoid all trouble.' litre the whole companv waiters and •IS burst into a convulsive fit of laughter The Yanke* roae in a rag*, epetting hie chair, and glaring defiance on his neighbors. 'How in th* name of all the ta ma trusses ia creation.' He )felled, *thouM know anything about the way the darn ihfttg worked when I never seed one of 'em fore. You've hatched thiaup fW me—I know it. Wbar's the landlord? Fetch yatir btHot»«~ni get mil of this. I Hsiw e» ten cents worth.but I'll pay up like a book, and quit. And it ever I «et wit to eat a meal's vittilt in Boston rown agin yon may take my bids and tan iw Dam yoar castor and your castor it©——aod you two, on* and all.'

Dr. Radclifie was remarkable for a aud den thought in extraordinary cases he waa ooce sent for into the country by a gentleman who waa dangerously ill of a quinsy. The doctor soon perceived that no application, internal or external, would be of service upon which he desired the lady of the house to order the cook to make a large hasty pudding and when it is dooe let hia own servant bring it up.— While the cook waa about it. he took the man aside, and instructed him what he was to do. In a short lime the man brought up tho pudding in great order, and Ml il on the table, in full view of the patten:. 'Come, John,* aaid he, 'you love hasty pudding: eataome along with,for me I believe you came without your breakfast.' Both began with their spoons, but John's spoon going twice to his master's once, the doctor took occasion to quarrel with him. and dabbed a spoonful of hot pudding in his face John resented it and threw another at his master. This put the doctor in a passion, and quitting his spoon he took the pudding up in handful* and threw it at his man who battled with him again in the same manner, till they were both in a woful pickle. The patient who had a ful! view of the skirmish, was so tickled at the affray, that he burst into a laughter, which broke ihe quinsy, and cuwd him. The doctor and his man were well rewarded.

'Shopkeepers is not enough thought of, said Mrs. Partington, after having been out making some purchases. 'How they do toil, and how they suffer—one dea pretty young man with a nico black coat on, nnd a gold chain anda starched collar with caravan on hia neck, told me with tears in his eyes that he was aellint* to at me less than hegavefor it and bought it out of pity, though I could get it five cnta a yard cheaper next door. Talk about Moses being executed on one string indeed These poor creatures are Rog erses every one of 'em by tha yard stick and are all tha time a dying." There's constant flow of compassion in her breast —inexhaustible—like the purse of the gentleman in the story, the more thnt is tnken from it the more remains.—Bust Post.

QUICK WORK.—We had occasion yesterday to telegraph a friend whom we believed to be in Philadelphia. The communication was left in the office in this city, about 10 o'clock—sent to New York, where it wns received, copied and carried to Jersey City, where it was forwarded to Philadelphia. The person addressed was hunted for and reported at Carlyle within thirty miles of St. Louis. The lightning was again called into requisition, the communication forwarded, the person found, and an answer received at 12 o'clock!— Thus was a message, under these disadvantageous circumstances, transmitted 2,500 miles in two hours! Verily, after all, this telegraph arrangement is as they say out West,"some pumpkins."—<Albany Eve. Jour>. ———————

COurGranMi«Tn the North-Eastern psrt of Texss. between the 3Jd and 34th decrees of Lstltud* North and 19th and 22d degrees of Longitude West from Washington beginning on the south side of Red River, at a point 12 miles east of the False Ouachitta, running thence due South 100 miles, thence East 164 miles, thenee North 100 miles, thence West 164 miles to the beginning, bsving

front on the meandering® of Red River of nearly 300 miles: and includes within its limits the npper and lower Crow Timber nd the head waiars of the Bratos and Trinitv Rivers* navagable for Smmboais ef light draught, from the interior of the Colony to the unit of Mexico into which it empties, some85 miles from Galveston, and Red River to the Mississippi, sffording an outlet for the surplus productions of the rnuotry. This portion of Texss is peculiarly adapted to the growth ol Wheat, experience within tbe last two years having tested tbe fact, that it will pronuce 40 bushels to the acra. weighing 65 to 70 pounds to the bushel. Indian corn, rye, baricy, iwts, sweet and Irish potatoes, peas, beans, melons, garden vegetables of all kind*,_ cotton, hemo and tobacco, and the celebrated muskeet grass which covers ths prairies and upon which cattle anbsist, and keep fat during the winter, and require only to be occaaionally aalted and kept together, to rear them in great numbers.

The planting season commences in Februsry snd continues ontil July* but the earlr crops are the mo«' productive. Emigrants should go on in the fall or winter, so as to be ready to put in nn early crop. Those going from Missouri, fowa, Wirconain, and the Northern parts of Illinois and Indiana, should go through Missouri, or Arkansas to Van Buren, Fort Smith, Fort Townson, Coffee's Station or Pine Bluff, thence into the settlementa in the direction or the forks of the Trtnitr. Those going from other sections of the Union, south, should pi to Helena, or Columbia, Ark., Memphis, Tenn.. or Natchez, Miss., snd thence across by land or to New Orleans, and thence by steamboat up Red River to Shrevepurt, Louisiana, a: which place an agent will be stationed, who wil! give the emigrants directions as to their route by Isnd to Dallas and Stewsrtsviile, a distance of some 200 miles.

Our eolony is rspidly filling up with an industrious, intelligent and moral people, and most soon be* come the most populous part of Texas. The Government has recently formed the counties of Grayson, Dallas, Denton. Collin and a part of Robeson and Navarro within the Grant. It is decidedly the most healthy part of the State, the lands having a gentle undulating surface there are nn ponds, swampa or marshes and no local cause fur disease. Ths atmosphere is pure snd pleassnt. During the warm* est months of summer there is a coostsnt breeze playing over the prairies, and the nights are inva* riably cool the thermometer n^ver riaessbove 85 to 90. and in the winter never falls below 30 de« grees Fshrenheit- It abounds in springs, and at the depth of fifteen or twenty feet, in the midst of the prairie, the best of wster can be had all the small streams sre peculiarly clear and crvstal like. Colonel William Myers, who removed there tro-n Garrard county, Ky., last fall, says, in a letter dated 8th May, 1847 "I will not venture to tell my friends in Kentucky that the land hers was better than the best land in Kentuckv. because they would not believe it but now I assert it, for tho soil is deeper, being in msny placee five feet, and the kindest land to work I ever put a plough in„ I vert I believe that around the forks of the Trinity, liea the largeat body of first rate land in America."1 From the forks of the Trinity to Santa Fe, is only about 600 miles by th^ oid Spanish trail, and the newspapers in Texas sre now advocating the route up the Trinity, and

by land, as in every respect preferable to the one by Independence, Mo. Why should Emigrants' think of going to Oregon or California when they can obtain better land for nothing so much near* er home

This is, perhspe, the last opportunity that will ever offer on the continent of America of getting landa for the mere cost of surveys snd costs of deeds. Our colony is emphatically the place for tho poor man's home: there ho does not have to feed his cattle tor aix or seven months in the year there he will have a home market forall the surplus he can produce for years to come, and with industry snd economy, speedily become rich.

Let no Emigrant loose sight of the important fact that our contracts with the Government of Texas expire on the first day of July, 1848, and that he must not only be in the Colony, but that he Imust have selected his land, built a house or cabin thereon, and be residing therein with his family by that day—one day after that date, and the opportunity, of getting lands for nothing, is perhnps, lost forever. Persons desiring additional information, by addressing tbe undersigned Trustees or either ol them, post paid, shall receive prompt attention.
