THE SILVER MINE; In days gone by, there lived in the far fam :ed ‘Queen,’ a silver-smith, who had accumu lated a large fortune by means which were known onlv to himself —and the devil. He was a regular built Shylock, and we well re member when a boy, to have incurred his hatred by accidentally bringing a ball in con tact with his bow window and breaking a pane of glass, for which juvenile indiscretion, we received from him, a fine trouncing, being obliged, by a writ of socladorum, to shell out a real Mexican, an article in those days that Would keep a man from starving al least a month. But to our yarn. This silver grin der waxed old and rich and not a chick nor child had he to leave his spelter to, when he should ‘shuffle off the mortal coil/ and prepare to settle a standing account he had with the Other world; with which, however, we have nothing to do at present. One day, while the old codger was reclining in his maple-bottom ed chair, looking over his old spectacles, and dreaming* doubtless, of some chemical process, by which hecould/ike alchimistsof old,convert every thing he touched into gold, a low tap at his door aroused him from his lethargy; ex pecting a fat customer, he quickly rose and opened it, when in stalked a six foot Buckeye, with a broad brimmed wool hat, and a certain je ne scats quoi in his manner, which plainly told that he was a back woodsman, and knew no more about the world and the things in it, than a Malay Indian. After surveying Shy- Jock for a minute, and the glittering case be fore him, he said: ‘Stranger, are ybu the feller what knows what’s silver?’ ‘Certainly, sir, if twenjy-five years working it can give me any knowledge of it.’ ‘Well, so I thought, tor 8) every body told me; and that’s the cause I’m come forty-five milos through the mud and rain to see you,’ said he, and at the same time laying down his beaver and bending his mastoden body in a sluntendicular manner in a chair. ‘You know that I have bayed up fifty acres of ground, in Butler county, and live on Snake Creek, just alongside the fork; wal, some of the ground was good, and some was’nt, and some so poor that it would'nt raise yallar taters; wal, one day me and one of our people went a fishing in Snake Creek, and bo fore we went, went to dig some worms for bait, when Bill Black said let’s turn over this log, and I found this here piece, which the minister says looks like silver.’ The eyes of the old man brightened; and extending his hand he took the uncouth lump, sand wiping his specs, examined it with trem bling hand—quickly rose, and without notic ing his guest, walked into another room, and returned in about five minntes. ‘You say you found this on your land?’ ‘Yes, and there’s plenty more of it; for 1 have dug ttp sich lumps afore.’ ‘Plenty ■of it, you say?’ ‘Yes, lots ftf jtf’ The o|<l man remained m statu quo for some lime when an idea appeared to strike him, he said: ‘My dear friend, this resembles silver; if you will show me the groun I you got it out of, ' I will decide upon it.’ ‘Well, if you’ll get into that wagon out there, I’ll drive you there in a short time.’ ‘Thank Vou, Fl I start immediately, for 1 want to know, for your satisfaction, the extent and quality of this ore.’ In they went, and otf they drove, and early the next morning they arrived- at Snake Creek, and the silver-smith was soon shown the idea tical spot where the lump was found; when after carefully examining the ground, he said: •You «ny that you have dug up more of this stud’ here?’ ‘Sartain; jist wait till I get a pick axe, and I’ll show you?’ Tho clod hopper brought the pick and com mcncod digging, apparently without casting his eye on any particular spot; when lo! and behold! another lump of a large size comes up; and the old man trembles at the indubita ble evidence of a mine of pure silver! ‘That’s not half; it’s nil about hero said his companion, moving in another direction, and commenced digging again. Tho ailvei smith followed with a quick step, and tho woodsman, after swinging his pick for a short time, brought forth another lump—and still anoth er! and took the old man around the field, and <lug up the snino stuff in every direction.— This was enough to have satisfied Old Nick himself, and the old man at length said: ‘Young man, this stuff might be made of some value, by a person who understands smelting it; but it is of no value to you, and I ■wouldadvise you to sell it.’ ‘Yes, but it’s so poor ground that nobody’ll buy it.’ ‘What did you originally give for it?’said tho old man. ‘Forty dollars.’ ‘Well, I’ll tell you what I’ll do—l’ll give you ohe hundred dollars in silver.’ •Well, now, that’s fair, I think; and I’ll just go and ask the old woman.* Ho went into his cabin and returned in a minute, saying: ‘Stranger, I guess I wont sell out, for there’s no »)oie ground about here for sale, and the old woman snys she wost move away from her people.’ The silver smith was fired with the pros peel he had of damping the rich treasure, and went on offering the countryman more and more until he reached a thousand dollars. — Thin appeared to work the fellow, and he "alked in his cabin again, and shortly return, ed. ‘Can’t stand it, stranger; the old woman wont say an j there’s no use in trying to etake ber,’ . I w This only made the avaricious silversmith more furious, and after expostulating for some time with the countryman, he said: ‘Go and tell your wife that I will giVo her two thousand dollars for this tract’’ He went again, and soon returned with a smilo on his phiz, which plainly told the old man’s success. ♦ ‘Well, stranger, Pll tell you what; the old woman says that if you will give her three thousand wheelers down, and let us live herb until we can move, she’ll take it.” ‘Agreed!’ said the voracious silversmith, and a contract was at once made, a bill of sale Wasdrawn up by the squire—and a check on Nick Biddle given for the amount, which the countryman soon sold for the ready B and they parted—the silver smith to the city, and the clod hopper to his cabin. Two days after the silver smith returned with a host of miners, and commenced opera tions on a grand scale, but after digging for some hours without finding more lumps, a feel ing of apprehension began to take hold of them; and the sjlvcr smith grew pale, and trembling with fear and suspense, he walked straight to the woodman’s cabin and inquiring for the countryman, found him seated quite contentedly by a large fire smoking his pipe. ‘Good morning sir—l have come sir; I have had my men at work these five hours, sir— and have found none of that ore you showed me!’ ‘Well, now, do tell/ said the countryman, ‘there must be two lumps about—for I know I planted seven in al), and we only dug up five!’ The remainder may be better conceived than described. Excellent Arrangement.—A practice is adopted by rail roads and steam boats at the South, which should prevail every where. In travelling in Maryland, &c., you deliver your baggage to a man who has special charge of this department. He immediately attaches to it a strap to which is a tin ticket, numbered, and gives you a duplicate ticket with a cor respondent number. The baggage is not de livered without the presentation of this dupli cate ticket; so that the passenger has leisure to take care of the ladies whom he may have in charge; or to look up lodgings, and may then send or call for his baggage.

York Circuit Court, recently brought by a Mr. Bugler, against Corning & Spence, to recover 1300 dollars, the amount of a bill of goods sold by plaintiff to Spence, and charged to the firm two months after its disso lution. As no positive evidence was adduced to show the dissolution had been published, the jury gave verdict for plaintiff to the amount claimed with interest and cost. — Sentinel and Chronicle. Fatal Affray. —The Nashville Whig of the 11th ultimo, says: “Pleasant Watson of DeKalb County, and a Mr. Carmichael of Ala bama, were the principles in an affray at Liv. ingston, Overtoi> county, hast week, which terminated in the death of the latter. Wat son made the assault with a dirk, and Carmi chael defended himself with a pistol, shooting his antagonist through the body a few inches below the heart. Watson was living at the last account.

Marrying Xn Arkansas.—We like the way they do business in Arkansas. There is no simpering nor fainting, nor no such sort of frippery doings about their belles. When they are courted, they either marry or let it alone as soon as possible. Five matches were consummated under one roof ahd at the same time, on the 2d instant, in Izard county.— There is sense in this, as Izard is a frontier county, and she needs fresh and athletic sol diers to form a bulwark against the incursions of the Indians.— Memphis Inq.

In this place, on Friday morning the 19th inst., Mr. John S Foreman, in the 22<1 year of his age, regretted by all who knew him. For the consolation of his widowed mother and relatives abroad, we would merely state, that although fur away from those perhaps, he loved most on earth, and among strangers, still, he was surrounded by those who done every thing in their power to mitigate his sufferings, and supply the place of his absent friends.

She had been long a member of the Baptist Church. She lived the life of a Christian, and her death was that of the righteous. She spoke of the King of Terrors without dread, and of death rejoicing. Near her last words, were “that glorious day, when I shall be with my Saviour is at hand?’ “No more, O pale Destroyer, boast Thy univerenl sway, To heaven.born souls Jiy sting is lost Thy night, the gate of day.” oO“The Southern Whig will please insert the above.
