I say lie will remember it, for it must tfnve been pointed Out to him as having been once inhabited by the most ingeitirous artist that Holland ever pro duced, to sny nothing or his daughter, tho prettiest ntaidon over born within hear ing of tho croaking of a frog. It is not with the fair Blanche, unfortunately, that wo have m present any thjng to do; it is with tho old gentleman, her father. His profession wns'llml ofasurgicnl-instfunfont maker; but his fame principally rosted on tho admirable skill with which ho con structed wooden and cork legs. So groat was his reputation in this department of human science, that they whom nature or nocident had curtailed, caricatuied, or dis appointed in so very necessary an appen dage to thu body, came liotpitig to him in crowds, and, however desperate their ca ses might be, were very soon, (as tho say ing isl set upon their legs again. Many a cripple, who Imd looked upon his defor mity as incurable, and whose only conso lation consisted in un occasional hit at l’io vide rice for liuviog trusted his making to a journeyman, found himself so admira bly fitted, so elegantly propped up by Mynhcei Turningvort, that he almost be gun to doubt whether a timber or cork supporter was not, on the whole, superior to u more common-place and troublesome one ol flash und blood. And, in good truth, if you had seeu how very handsome and delicate wore the understandings fash ioned hy the skilful artificer, you would have beon puzzled to settle the question yourself, (ho moro especially if your real toes were tormented with gout or corns. One morning, just us Master Turningvort was giving the last polish to a calf and ancle, a messenger ontored his studio, to speak classically, and requested that lie would immediately accompany him to the mansion of Mynheer von Wodenblock. It was the mansion of the richest mer chant in Rotterdam; so the artist pm on his best wig, uod set forth with his three- cornered hat in one hand, and his silver- headed stick its the other. It so happen ed, that Mynheer von Wodenblock Imd been very laudably employed, a few days before, in turning a poor relation out of doors; but in endeavoring to hasten the o- dions wretch’s progress down stairs by a slight impulsovj posteriori (for Mynheer seldom stood upon ceremony with poor rotations,) ho had unfortunately, lost his balance, and tumbling headlong from tho top to the bottom, he found, on recover ing Ids senses, that he had broken his right leg, mid that he had lost three teelh. He at first thought of having his podt rela tion tried for murder; bill being naturally of a merciful disposition, ho only sent him to jail on account ofsomo unpaid debt, leaving him (hero to enjoy the comforta ble reflection, that his wife and children wero starving nt home. A dentist soon supplied the invalid witli three teeth, which lie had pulled tmt of an indigent poet’s head atlhe rate.of ton sti vers a-piece, hut lor which he prudently charged the rich merchant one hundred dollurs. Tiie doctor, examining his teg, and recollecting that ho tvus at that mo ment ruther in want of a subject, cut it Carefully off, and took it away With him, in Ids carriago, to locture upon to his pu pils. So Mynhcei Wodenblock, consid ering that ho had boon hitherto accustom ed to walk, and not to hop, and being per haps, somewhat prejudiced in favor of (ho former mode of locomotion, sent for our friend at the cahal basin, in order that he might give him directions about the re presentative with which he wished to bo supplied for bis lost member. The aril* ficer entered the wealthy burgher’s apart ment. He was reclining on » couch, with Ids left leg looking as respectable as ever, but with his uuhappy right stump Wrapt up in bandages, as if conscious and ashamed of its own littleness. ' Turningvort, you liavo heard of my misfortune—it has thrown me into a favor, and all Rotter dam Into confusion; but let that pass. You must make me a leg, and it must be the best leg, sir, you ever made in your life.’ Turningvort bowed. * I do not care what it costs;’ Turningvort bowed still lower; JUST PUBLISHED AND FOR BALE AT Tile cDlumbus book-store, , the LOST VIRGIN OF THE SOUTH, A N Hi-fpricpl Novel) connected with tiie Indr an War ot the South, in tho years 1812,13, 14 and 15, and Gen.

I coroplishinglt that very morning provided it outdoes every thing you have yet mado. I am for none of your wood en spindlcshanl^. Make it of cork; let it be light nnd elastic, and Ciam It full of springs as a watch. J know nothing of -the business, und cannot be more specific in my directions; but this I am determined upon, that I shall have a leg as good as the ono I have lost. 1 know such a thing is to be had, antfif I get it from you, your reward is a thousand guineas.’ The Dutch Promeiheasdeclared,that, to please Mynheor Von Wodenblock, he would do more than human ingenuity had ever done beforehand undertook (o bring him, with in six days, n leg which would laugh to scorn the mere common legs possessed by common men. This assurance was not meant as au idle boast. Turningvort was a man of speculative, its Well as pructical science—there was a favorite discovery which lie had long been aiming at, and he beltevbd he had at last succeeded in ac- Lihc FIFTH VOLUME—NOMEBS 3. ajl other manufacturers of tern he had ever found the chief bn his progress towards perfection, KWOttsiet m us being upparontly impossible to Tn- troduco into ihedfany thing in the shape ol joints, capable of being regulated by the will,and of performing those impor tant functions achieved under the present system by means of the admirable median- mm of thp knee and ancle. Our philoso pher had spent years in endeavouring to obviate the grand inconvenience; and al though I to had undoubtedly, made’ greater progress than any one else, it was not till now that he thought himself oomptotcly master of the great secret. His first at tempt to carry fl into execution Was to bo in the leg ho was about to make for Myn heer Von WodontJlock, It was’on the 0 voifing of tiie sixth day from fbat to which 1 have already aliuded, that with thh ratu gic log, carefully packed up, the accurals artisan again made his appearance befbrs Uio expecting nnd impatient Wodoh- bmck. There was a protid twinkle io Turningvort’s grey eye, which seemed to indicato that hb valued even tho thou* sand guineas, which he intended for Blan che’s marriage portion, less than the cole- brity, the glory, the immorality of which 1m was at length so sure. He united hia precious bundle, und spent some hour* is displaying end explaining to tho delighted bdrglior tiie number of additions he had made to tiie interna) machinery, and the purpose each was intended to serve.—* The evening wore away in these discus sions concerning wheels Within wheels,and springs upon springs. When it was time m retire to rest, both were equally satisfied with the perfection of the work; and at his employer’s earnest request the artist con* sented to remain where bo was for tho night, in Order that curly next morning he might fit on tho lintb, and see how if performed its duty. ' Early next morning till the necessary arrangements wore conij|)loted, and Myn heer Von Wodenblock walked forth Id the street In ecstacy, blessing the inven tive powers of one who wait able to make so excellent a hand of his hag: It seemed. Indeed, to act to admiration ; in the mer chant's mode of walking there was no stiffuess, no effort, no constaint. All tho joints perforned their office without the aid of either bone or muscle. Nobqjfy, not even a couhoiseur in lameness, would have suspected any thing uncommon, any great collection of accurately adjusted clockwork unde- the full Well-slashed pan taloons of the substantial-looking Dutch man. Had if not been for a slight trek mulous motion; occasioned by the rapid whirling of about twenty small wheels in tho interior, aud a constant clicking Ilka that of a watch, though somewhat . louder, lie would even himself have for gotten that ho was not, in all respects, ss he used to oe, before he lifted his right foot to bestow a parting benediction On hit poor relation. He walked along in the renovated buoyancy of his spirits until iio came in sight of the Sladt House ; and just at tho foot of tho flight of steps that led up to the principal door, ho saw his old (friend Mynheer Vanouterti Wait ing to receive him. He quickened bis pneo ; and both mutually held oat their hands to each other by Way of congratu lation, before they, wore near enough to be clasped in' a friendly embrace, At last the mierctiant reached the spot where Vunouiern stood ; but what was that worthy mim’s astoniihptent tu see him, I hough ho still held out his hand* piss quickly by, Without stopping, even for a moment, to say, ’ How-d’ye do t* But this seeming want of poliuAieft arose from no fault of our hero’s. His own aston ishment was u thousand times greater, when he found that he had iio, power whatever to determine either when. Where, or how his leg was to move. As long us his own wishes happened to coin cide with tho manner in, which the ma chinery seOpted destined to operate, oil hod gone on smoothly: and he mad* mistaken his tacit compliance With its independent and self-acting pmOeSs for a command over it, which he now found Iio did not possess. It Had been his most anxious desire to stop to Speak with Mynheor Vanoutern, bet bis teg moved on, and he found bimoelf liadttib • neces sity of following it. Many an attempt did he make to slackeo hiSpnce, but evry attempt was vain, He caught hold of the rails, walls,'.ned houses, but his leg tugged so violently, that he Was afraid of dislocating his artns, and wag obliged to go On. He began to get seriously uneasy as to the consequences of this most unex pected turn which matters had taken ; and his only hope was, that (he (mazing mid unknown powers, which the compli cated construction of Lis leg seemed to possess, would speedily exhaust them selves. Of this, however, heyp»£d as yet discover no syriiptoms. He happened to be going in the direction of tho Leyden Canal; and when he orriVodC iO iqql of Mynheor Tumingvort’s jppso, be Called loudly upon the artificer to comq to Ms as sistance. Tho artificer fooked out from Ids window withifaeoofwonder. ‘Vil- linn!’ criod Wodenblock, * come out to me this instant! You have made me a Teg with a vengeance) It won’t stand (till for a moment, t have been walking xtruit forward ever since I lift my own house, ond,tmle(syoti slop me yourself, Heaven
