His superior Miscellany. .p--- ; i A Kentucky AaeeCBt*. J ^ It was customary in former, days for all the ladies of the best families to attecd the prominent barbecifcpy and this wrs especially the case in the contest between Mr. Brecken- ridge and General Combs, in 1810. Out of these affairs grew the au thentic story of the nicest widow in the blue-grass region. Not fhr from the Forks ofElkhorn lived the pretty little widow Fauntleroy, and one of her nearest neighbors was General Peyton. The general hail looked upon his blooded horse Powhattan—“ The finest horse, sir, in the blue-grass region.” The pretty Mrs. Fauntleroy had been a widow more than a year; while the general, having a great regard for etiquette, had waited pa tiently for that time to elapse, to declare himself. But the widow, with her woman’s art, kept her lov er at Tjay, and yet kept him in her train. He hail escorted her to this bar becue, when returning had express ed bis satisfaction at the prospects of General Combs and the success of the Whig party. The widow took sides with the Democracy, and offered to wager her blooded saddle-horse, Gipsey, or anything else on her place, against Powhattan, or anything else she might fancy on the general’s place. The general’s gallantry would not allow him to refuse the wager, which he promptly accepted. By this time they had reached the north Fork of Elkhorn, and were about to ford it, (bridges were not plenty in those days,) when John Peyton, the general’s only son and heir, came up at a sharp gait be hind them. The widow turned and bowed to John, and rode on into the stream, but a little behind her companion. The east bank was very steep, and required the horses to put forth nearly all their strength to reach the top with their loads. As luck would have it, good or ill, the widow’s girth broke when just at the commencement of the steep part. The lady, still seated on her saddle, sliped swiftly back into the water, while her horse went up the bank like an arrow. John Peyton leaped from bis horse, and in an instant caught the floating lady and saddle, and, be* fore the general bad recovered from his astonishment was at the top of the bank with his burden.— The little widow was equal to the occasion, for she begged the gener al to ride on and stop her horse, which bad now begun to unders stand his part in the mishaps, and was begining to increase his gait toward home. The general did as he was bid, and soon returned with the horse. In the meantime John Peyt >n had secured his own horse, and when the general came back with the widow’s horse she and John were laughing merrily over the ridicu> lous accident, but what farther passed between them is only known to themselves. John Peyton repaired the broken girth, fastened the saddle again on the horse, placed the lady in her seat, bade her gcod evening, mounted his horse, and taking an other road down the Elkhorn, rode rapidly hqjne«- .leavipg the general to escqtl-ffiie* Widow. ; > .

This pleased the general highly, for he had been a little afraid John would object to a step mother younger than himself The next morning the general ordered Powhattan brought out, anil led over to Mrs. Fauntleroy’s. Calling John, he requested him to call upou Mrs. Fauntleroy. “ The Whig party has disgraced itself in Mr. Clay’s district, sir, and I am compelled to part with the finest blooded horse in the State to pay my wager with that lady, sir.” The black boy had led Powhat- tan to the hitching rail in front of Mrs. Fauntleroy’s yard, and having tied him, bad gone into the quar ters to tell his colored brothers and sisters of their mistress’s great good luck in having won the famous horse, Powhattan. When General Peyton and John arrived they found the pretty wid' ow and two young lady friends in the yard admiring Powhattan. “Madam,” said the general to Mrs. Fauntleroy, “I have come like a true Kentucky gentleman, to pay the wager I have lost Pow hattan, madam, is rightfully yours.” “But, General, I believe the wager was conditional It was the horse or anything else on the place, was it not?” “ Madam, you are correct, but I cannot permit you to select an in ferior animal” ’ “ You have another and superior animal here,” replied the widow, blushing.. "Your sou John; if he would but use bis tongue. I think I shall choose him.” The general rose and in bis blandest manner, bade the ladies good morning. To John he said “Sir, you will remain.” - General Peyton never forgave his daughter-in-law her practical joke. 'In after years he used to say: ,1 - “ Sir, she is the finest lady in the blue-grass region, but she lacks taste, sir.” • Aunt Folly’s Adventure With The Burglar. Ob, my, didn’t the wind blow ? When I went around the house that night, locking doors and windows before going to bed, there was just a breath of a breeze sighing about —nothing more; but by the time I had fairly plumped upon thebjllow, the gale was going it like mod. When I first came to this Western country I used to be surprised at the quick, unceremonious way storms had of coming upon people —half the time, it seemed to me, out of a clear innocent looking with ponderous anecdotes of Mr. 1 8 k v .

The general was delighted, and express-1 ed his delight as Kentucky gentle men of that day would do. “ You are the finest songstress, madam, m the blue-grass region.” When he bid her good-night and shook hands with her on the porch, the wicked little widow gave his a^-.:r.,£Mro£o"&;' hand a s< i aeeze ’ on, J a litUe - butit Unrennd elegant chromo. after Jennings Thomp- •orf, Hlawatbaht J^ce IU5 CO, for 81 00 extra, orMth ciuomos witt the Magazine, fox85 DEMUREST, dec i 838 Broadway, New York.

That night in hia dreams, the little .Widow Fauntle roy was repeated eo often, and in so many bewitching forms, that he resoltn to propose to her at their thought it would snow, it was sure to rain, and when I could have takeu a solemn oath that ‘clouds were going to pour, why, whisk they’d: go, and the sun would shine out as though it was in high glee at having fooled me. So l gave np being a weather prophet, and took it just as it came " ' That .night everything out of doors seemed to be in commotion. The loose shingles on • the house clattered up-and down, the win the-bed-on which I layl would be blown through the side of the boose. I know Tnu a foolish old woman, bat a^ the thought Loouldn't help end something beok my hair, be cause 1*1 should go, why there was Deacon Albee’s house opposite, and—but Lord bless me, wbat am saying l Well, naturally, I was lonesome enough, without ehild or chick to speak to, but I did very well until somehow I got it into my head that burglars always chose just such nights to do their mischief in.— After that I started at every sound, and as there were thumps and clat ters on all sides, and in every direc tion, it isn’t to be supposed that I got much rest. I didn’t stop to reason that there iroa very little in my poor little house to tempt evil-dobs. T knew I bad forty dollars- and eighty cents laid away in my poor departed Jason’s old wooden chest, and I felt that to lose that would be a terrible thiug to me. - The house was a cottage, with a hall running the length of its two rooms—an “L” being built be yond. My room was at the back, opening into the hall and the front room adjoining, bo my eyes went first from one door to the other lingering, I must say, with more dread upon the one leading into the hall “It I should be robbed of that forty dollars and eighty cents——” said I to myselll J ust then a blind went whack, and springing up in bed, I began to say the prayer my mother taught me—“ Now I lay me down to sleep,” though I’m sure it looked a great deal more as though I was sitting up to sleep than lying down. . - ! . “ W hat an old fool you are, Polly Quimbyl” I began to say, aloud, trying to get up my courage by the sound of my own voice. At that moment I was sure I heard a step in the little 4>sll, and before I had time to'- move from my place, the doorlatch lifted, the door swung back, and there he stood, the very object that I had been dreading; Mr. Burglar him self. “ Good evening, ma’am,” he said, in such a polite way, that I found myself in the motion of bowing back, and saying good evening too. He was a middle-aged man, with mustache and whiskers, and he had the brightest eyes that I ever saw in a person’s head. The hair on his temples was quite gray. Alii* all* be looked like a respect* able christiange ntleman, and not a midnight thieC “Quitea windy evening, ma’am,” he went bo, as he stepped into the room. “ You must be lonely here by yourself Somehow, this touched my terns per. I forgot who was spiking, and answered back as tart as could be. “ I prefer to chose ray company, air P He laughed, and shrugged up his shoulders. i “Youdo, indeed! So do L In thisqese I have my preference— not you.’’ *«■-<■’ • Then he sat down leisurely in my rocking chair, and stretched out bis feet, as though he intended to stop a while. Will you be so kind, sir, as to go about your business ? What do you think of yourself, to be intruding upon the privacy of my room at this hour of the night sir?” He leaned his head back upon my bright worsted tidy, and laugh- ed fit to kill himsell “No harm is iutended you, my charming woman,” he said. “I swear it—no harm is intended you 1” And saying this, he laughed louder and longer than ever. “ Do you come into my house to make game of me before my very eyes?” I asked, my temper pretty much stirred up. “If you were a gentleman sir—‘ This was too much for him. “ A gentleman ? Ob, aw—that’s too good! «If I professed to be a gentleman, yon’d stand a good chance of getting your throat out without so much as by your leave, ma’am,’ to begin with 1 A gentles man? With all my faults, thank heaven, that is not among them 1” “You needn’t have gone on that way to prove it," i said tartly. »“ Well, you are a sharp old dam sel, aren’t youT” turning’ lux big eyes upon me. and, twisting up his a comical way, which I ■ball never forget “I a wear you’d bO pretty good looking, ffjrnu didn’t wear such » wide yaffle on your nightoepu Jolly, isn’t it •» Junker, big enough for a graved fence. “Sir!” I said, looking vCiy savage. “ Ma'm 1” he answered, imitating my voice and tone to perfection. “Oh, if I were only out of this bed, sir!” I begun. And pray, madame, what is there to hinder you from getting; out, I’d like to know ?’’ “ Do you intend to insult me, you good-for-nothing creature? Oh, if the wind only would blow yon away.” . - . “ It one goes, the other is sure to gft 1 v 4 ® “If brothiir Joe would only waken,” I said.

Had ho been under this roof, you would have screamed blue murder long before this time.” “ Ob, oh, you varmint!" I groan- ed, in pure agony of spirit. What do you want? ’’• “ Well, ma’am, since that is a fair, honest question, I will attempt to answer it. To begin with, itiy financial affairs are in a complicated condition. Money, I have but little of—credit, none; so I am forced to levy a trilling tax upon my friends in this and other neighborhoods, to extricate me from my disastrous condition. As soon as I collect a certain amount I intend leaving this country for France or Italy, never perhaps, to return. Do not shed tears at this, dear madame, for wherever ray footsteps tend, your image—ruffled nightcap and all— will remain for ever imprinted up on my heart” “ You old goose 1” I said. “Please do not interrupt me, madame; I have bnt a few moments longer to stay, and I must be to business at once. I have learned that you have disposed in a trunk in an adjoining closet forty dollars and eighty cents. The forty dollars I would like to borrow of you for au indefinite length of time. The eighty cents I do not care anything about You can rethitt that, as a trifling evidence of my generosity in this great emergancy of my life.” “ Yoa are a robber, a thief, then I" I said spitefully. “Either, at your service, mad- ame,” rising and making a bow for all the world like a French dacing- master. “ Now, the money, if yon pleasa’’ He wasn’t joking now. There was a determined look in his eyes and about his mouth. “He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord,” he said, speak ing just like a preacher. _,, . u ' tl “And he that steals from the poor, what of him?" i “My Bible does not dispose of bis case especially, madame.” “ And you came here to rob me —me, a poor woman ?” '• “I came to borrow of you. for an uncertain length of time." I saw it was useless to waste words with him, besides, I didn’t altogether like the look ia his eves. I closed my lips tightly together, resolving that I would not speak again. tl “ If you’ve no objection ma'am I’ll look around a bit," he g&id, taking up the lamp as be spoke.-rr “ If I hear any noise from yon, my dear, or if I see in any way that you are becoming nervous, I shall be obliged to quiet you by the use of——” .vii >i . i.: if * ill -t.HxiC He held up a small vial. ■ ■ h “• ChloroformP*Igasped. , 1 'jf** “At your service, madatne.” “It would be the death of me,” j moaned, I should be sorry to bring such a loss to the world, but believe all that rests in your own hands.— This dcor the I ‘e**.- wit* I sprang at lightly iVff eat out of irapg pn^w -li'Jtld WilK I. leads into the oloaet here the trunk is, l believe,” be said, making straight for the closet where my forty dollars were pot away for safe keeping. 1 didn’t 8ay a word.
