A Capital Story of Boswell and John
son.
We have not met with a story for some time
as well told as one in the new volume of Ange*
lo’s Reminiscences of Boswell and Johnson
Angelo, it seems, gets it from the landlord of
the inn where the lexicographer j*nt up
Johnsou gets off the pony, and the poor an
imal, relieved from the giant, smelt his way in
to the stable. Boswell ushered the Doctor in
to the house, and left him to prepare for his
delicious treat. Johnson, feeling his coat rath
er damp from the mist of the mountains, went
into the kitcken, and threw his upper garment
on a chair before the fire; he set on a hob near
a little boy who was very busy attending the
meat, and Johnson did not like the appearence
of his bead; when he shifted the basting ladle
from one hand the other was not idle, and the
Doctor thought at the time he saw something
fall on the meat, upon which he determined to
eat no more mutton on that day.
The dinner was announced. Boswell ex
claimed, ‘my dear Doctor, here comes the mut
ton —what a picture 1 Done to a tune, and
looks so beautifully brown !’ The Doctor tit
tered, and after a short grace, Boswell
said — v
‘I suppose lam to carve, as usual; what
part shall 1 help you to ?
The Doctor replied. ‘I did not tell you be
fore, but 1 have determined to abstain front
meat to-day ’
Oh, dear ! tliis is quite a disappointment,’
said Bozzv.
‘Say no more; 1 shall make myself ample
amends with the pudding.
Boswell commenced the attack, and made
the first cut at the mutton. ‘llow the gravy
runs; what fine flavored fat, so n ee and brown
too. Oh, sir, you would have relished this
fine, prime pi tee of mutton.
The meat removed, in came the long wished
for pudding. The Doctor looked joyous, fell
eagerly too;, a few minutes nearly finished the
pudding ! The table was cleared, and Bos
well said—
‘•Doctor, while I was eating the mutton, you
seemed frequently inclined to laugh; pray tell
we what tickled your fancy V
The Doctor then literally told him all that
had passed a! the kitchen tire, about the boy
and the basting. Boswell turned pale as a
parsnip, and sick of himself and company, he
darted out of the room. Sompwbat relieved
on returning, he insisted on seeing the dirty
little rascally boy, whom he severely repri
manded before Johnson. The boy cried; the
Doctor laughed.
‘ You little filthy, snivelling hound,” said
Boswell, ‘when you basted the meat, why did
you not put on the cap as I saw you have
on this morning.
‘I couldn’t sir,’ said the boy.
“Xo ! why couldu’t you V 1 said Bos
well.
‘Because mammy took it to boil the pudding
in
The Doctor gathering up his herculean frame
stood erect, touching the ceiling with his wig;
lie stared or squinted, indeed, looking any but
the right way. At last, with mouth wide
open, (none ofthe smallest,) and stomach hea
ving, he with some difficulty recovered his
breath, and looking at Boswell, with the lungs
of a stentor, exclaimed—
'Air. Boswell ! sir, leave off laughing, and
under pain of my eternal displeasure, never ut
ter a syllable of this abominable adventure to
any soul living while you breathe.’
‘And so, sir,’ said my host, ‘you have the
positive fact from the simp'e mouth of your
bumble servant.’
Cotton--Estimate of Crop and prices.
A leading Xew York cotton Broker sent to
Liverpool the following views by the Canada
which sailed from Boston on the Bth:
“The accounts from all sections in the South
continue unfavorable, and we have had another
frost which lias done some damage in Alabama
and elsewhere; the full particulars we cannot
receive by mail for some days yet. At Mobile
and Montgomery, Alabama it is reported as
having injured the cotton on the grounds. A
very decided and well grounded fear prevails
here and in the South that sufficient injury has
been done by the late spring, drought in July,
worms and other disasters since, and recently
the unprecedented cold weather and frosts, to
limit the productions at 3,000,000 bales, and
possibly at a lower figure.”
Admitting the accuracy of these views, and
the conviction forces itself upon the candid
mind that the consumption of the world has
overtaken the labor of production. Os the
past year’s supply of 3,500,000 bales, Europe
took about 2,940,000 bales, of which 2,000,000
were taken by England alone. Assuming that
Europe should require equally as much from
the present crop, it would amount to near
about as much as the whole of the estimated
yield of the present year, leaving no surplus
from which American manufactories can obtain
the 600,000 or 700,000 bales required to keep
the cotton spindles and looms in motion. This
state of things will bring European and New
England manufactnries into competition in the
Southern markets.
In such a contest the article must advance;
and the higher it goes the worse it will be for
the Eastern spinners, because their largest pro
ducts, of heavy fabrics, are made from mid
dling and lower grades of cotton. Should these
grades of the article attain high rates, the com
petition betweern American and European pro
ducts, in foreign markets will become very un
equal, and tell against our own manufacturers.
If the supply of labor at the southwest was
equal to the extent of the rich cotton lands
now in a state of wilderness, we could as easily
produce four millions of bales of cotton as three.
We have no white labor sufficiently acclimated
to work beneath a tropical sun in the produc
tion of the article. The German settlers who
have colonised in Texas prefer stock raising &c.
to the cultivation of cotton.— Georgian ts- Jour
nal.
A Soi.f.mx Event. — The North Carolina Ad
vocate relates the following touching incident:
“We learn from a reliable source that a reviv
val is in progress on the Sampson circuit.—
Brother Martin has given us no account of it
yet. It is said that at an early stage of a
meeting at McGhee’s Meeting House, in the
circuit, a few days ago, the preacher dwelt at
length upon the uncertainty of human life, and
remarked that it was possible that some person
present was listening to the last sermon. An
old lady, a respectable and pious member of
the Baptist Church, was sitting in the congre
gation, apparently in good health and entire
ly composed. When the preacher called the
congregation to prayer, she knelt, no one ob
serving any movement or anything unusual
about her. When the congregation arose, she
was discovered remaining on her knees, with
her hands clinched on the back of her seat, and
on examination was found to be entirely dead.
Her spirit had fled, we trust, to the better land.
What a sccene !to go from a church to the
presence of God—from one’s knees to the
heavenly heme !’

THAT all tliv bf.ld and grey can be restored perfectly to
original growth, so far as their locks are concerned,
does not admit of doubt; besides, it will cure every possi

itching,or iu the shape of cutaneous eruptions—even scald
head—and iu no possible case will it fail of curing, as if l>y
magic, nervous or periodical headache, and if used twic*e

If you choose, you may send six dozen bottles Hair Resto
rative—l think 1 can sell it. It has worked inirides in

| Professor Wood—Dear Sii ; 1 take pleasure in bearing
j voluntary testimony to the excellence of your Hair Resto
! rative. Three months ago my hair was Very grey. It is
I now a dark brown, (the original color.) smooth and glossy.
The only application I have made to it, has been the Hair
Restorative, prepared by you, and which, from tlie result
in my own case, I can mosteordially recommend to others.
Respectfully yours, EDWARD WALCOTT.
Vincennes,- lac, June 21, 1853.
Prof. 0 J Wood : As you are about to manufacture and
vend your recently discovered Hair Restorative, 1 will state
for whomsoever it may cbneern. that I have used it, aud
known others to use it—that i have for several years been
in the habit of Using other Hafir Le-toratires, and that I
find yours vastly superior to any ocher 1 know, it entirely
cleanses the head ol dandruff', and With one month’s pro
per use, will restore any person’s hair to the original youth
ful color and texture, giving it a healthy, soft and glossy
appearance : and all this, without discoloring the hands
! that apply it, or the dress on which it drops. 1 would
therefore recommend its use to every one desirous of having
a line color aud texture to hair. Respectfully yours,
WILSON KING.
St. Louis, June 29, 1853. )
Prof. Wood : As you are about to prepare and vend your I
recently discovered Hair Restorative, and as you request my j
opinion of it, 1 will state that my hair was, a few months j
ago, very grey, and after using two bottles of your Hair j
Restorative, it resumed its original color, and since its ap- !
! plication, all dandruff has disappeared from my head,and i
I have been troubled with no disagreeable itching of the !
, scalp. lam satisfied that those who use if, will not regret j
it, as it gives the appearance of having been recently oiled, j
i ] am prepared therefore, so recommend its use to all win J
i are desirous of having a beautiful head ofhair.

Prof. Wood—Dear Sir : My hair bad for several years, j
been becoming prematurely grey, accompanied by a har.-b-!
ness which rendered l e constant application of oil neces
sary in dressing it. When i commenced using your Hair-
Restorative, about two mont s ago, it was iu that condi
tion ; and having continued its use till within the last three
weeks,it has turned to its natural color, and assumed a
softness and lustre greatly to be pref erred to those produced
by the application of oils or any other preparation T have
ever used. I regard it as an indispensable article for every
I lady s toilet, whether to be used as a Hair Restorative, or
| for the simple purpose of dressing or beautifying the hair.
; You have permission to refer to me all who entertain any
! doubt of its performing all that is claimed for it.

Prof. OJ Wood : Allow me to attest the *irtncs and
magic powers of your Hair Restorative. Three months
since, being exceedingly grey, I purchased, and soon com
menced to use two bottles, and it soon began to tell, in re
'■ storing the silver locks to their native color, and the hair
t which was before dry and harsh and falling off, now became
J suit and glossy, aud it ceased falling ; the dandruff disap
peared, and the scalp lost all the disagreeable itching so
annoying before, and now 1 not only look, but feel young
! again. Respectfully yours, etc.,
