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 !’ LEGAL NOTICES.

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. 1 am, sir. t ours, etc., H L STEWART.- j Cincinnati, 0., Feb. 10, 1854. j 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.
