A RUN ON THE BANK; Oc, The Bogas Country Bank Panie. [coxciupmp.] * Covel as Satan,” said Mr. Johnston to him- seit, as he wentinto Inkpen’s room, where the Directors were assembled, being turned out of their ordinary place of meeting. They were the six solid men of West Independence. i ~: Well, gentlemen, our trouble is at hand.’ * Brokers about?" asked fat Mr. Slocum, almost breaking down Inkpen’s bed, on the edge of which he sat. “One,” answered the President. “ but he evidently represents the whole tribe. He has taken extracrdiaary puins to disguise himself. and evidently seeks by this means to draw ua on, and, little by little, secure ourspecie before we are forced to close.” ~ Are you certain of this?’’ demanded Mr. Tenwait. a cautious, slow spoken gentleman. ~ Let me have a lookathim,”’ exclaimed Mr. Vinkbine, evidently the master spirit of the Board, a small man, neither spare por inclined to flesh, but preserving a just medium. His most remarkable feature was a hooked nose. it was nots fat nose nora lean nose, a small nese nor a large nose. But, in a word, it was a remarkable nose, a countenance in iteelf. without model or like. Into this protuberance seemed to contre the condensed energy of the entire body. It was one of the poles o wtea That nose seemed the one reliable feature. The eyes. from under their cavernous receases, watched that nose—the mouth spoke for the noss—the whole body seemed attached to the This was so remarkable, that everybody i Finkbine has his noso in everything,’ or *- if Finkbine once gets his nose into that affair,”’ or *‘ Finkbine would soon nose it ont,” and other phrases of like ebaracter, when speaking of the Director. Noone objecting to the proposition. Mr. Fink- ¢ rushed in the reom, and bruught his nose to bear upon the stranger. His first impulse was to say, *- Pooh, pooh,’ but he caught the eunning expression of the half-closed eyes, and into these eyes Finkbine dived, nose and all; he traveled through the brain, down into the heart, along the arm, into thesaddie-bags. and he saw the great heaps of notes; eo, returning to the Board, he threw himeelf into a chair, ex- elaiming— «Fact, gentlemen; I saw through the scoun- drel at onee.’” No one seemed disposed to contradict the con- clusion so emphatically announced. and the Board proceeded to business. [ have not the space to give in detail the painful discussion which followed Every fifteen or twenty min- utes, the stranger was apologized to, for the de- Iny he suffered. The apologies were quite un- exiled for. He ouly responded, ‘Oh, sartin,” and continued acarefil perusal of the « Mrs<- rat Ercarttion and Tadpole Slackwtter” 3 covl patience only the more irritated our frieudsof the Board. From it they became satisfied of the fact thet the mysterious man of the saddle-bags represented all the brokers in the world, and, fearing no competition, could afford to wait. To the inexpressible relief of the Directors, three o'clock run out in silvery tones, and the Bank wasclosed. Mr. Johnston invited the troublesome customer to dinner. There was one thing very clear in this strange imen of a specuiator. He had the talent at silence toan eminent extent. At dinner, he eyed curious!y his silver fork, but said nothing. He ate with his knife, without expressing any fears as to the consequences. He deciined wine, but awallowed large quantities of cider, ing in between efforts more than er dinner. Mr. Finkbine dropped in. and was introduced. Lhe two Directors spoke of he Mustrat Ercaration, &c., in the most se- ves They brought to notice other leasing, but their new friend i ntoinvest. Theonly time he did brighten up happened when Mr. Fink bine suggested sometuing about exchanging Middleburgh bank nutes tor their own be “ exelaimed Homespun, with some energy, crasping the everiasting pair of saddle- bags No, sirs! That'ed be gettin’ out of the fryiu’-pan into the fire. When I've got a silver dollar in my pocket, ’ve got’a dollar, but a bank nule may bea dollar, and it may be nothin .** Mr. Johnston invited the old gentleman to laake bis house a homo until he could be ac- coumodated. ~ If we coald only hold out three days long- er,” said tho President. confidentially, to Mr. F.. after his guest had retired, ‘-we would struggle throu, I have made arrangements, Middleburgh Bank, by which we can com) our specie, and, by its use in the bank first run upon, establish its credit, aad thea use its notes fur the benefit of theone bext ran upon.’” * We must hold out—we will hold out.

[shall bave acustomer in the bank to-morrow, who will take up Inkpen’s entire time paying out currency and specie. Wewill pass the same amount of specie over and over, until this rascal will get the idea that we have mine in our vault ~ I fear that will only make him impatient. He takes matters very coolly now s Don’t be? Cool fellow! He don’t drink wine o, but makes up in ci ~The wan who drinks ci er, will steal.

Mr. Jobeston retired early to bed As he passed the chamber of bis sleeping guest « fearful temptation seizedhim. The door was epen.

But the thouzht, controlled while waking, took posses- sion of the apguarded brain iusleep. Allnight long. the Presi lent of the *-BogusCounty Bank- Company’ was running through sandy de- fying over vast seas, chasing « pair of old sadtie-bags, while after him flew the shadow of an aged gentleman in homespun Mr. F.nkbine’s stratagems were pat in exe- eution the next day. The stranger accompa- nied Mr Johnston w the bank at 12 o'clock, saw Mr. Inkpen busily engaged with a er little fellow, who handed out great rolls of #, and received in return great bags of specie, ail of which was carefully counted, without expressing either impatience or sur- prise, or, indeed. remark of any kind. He was invited inte the bureau, and. sitting down, com- menced ouce more an examination of the ex- hibits (pleasantly so considered) with the Pres- ident, and, when iu a prozer state of confusion, was handed the eloquent address, when hecon- tinued his reading of that clear expose of the Muskrat Excavatsm and Tadpole Slackwa- ter Company. When Mr. Johnston returned te eall his friend to dinner, he found Home- p, the aidrers tumbled upon the dle-bays at his side c."* sail President Johnston, “ this will kill me.”’ aly one day more was the response At dinner, Mr. Finkbine managed, by the | nid of the servants, to add ac uantity to the cider. aest & flushed face gave evidence of the effect. But they had no other. He was not only silent as a * of braady | rushing in like the Aunt, Without noticing the change. the | ished banker, with screams 0 ndulzed in hie usual potations, and soon | beture, bat carried ou bis countenance an ex- | rage deep and firm as the eternal hills. «. Fiukbiow and the President gave — Eben despair. The two bankers withdrew, and im- mediately the silent old gentleman exhibited an excitement truly astonishing. Edward and Ella Walked out upon the lawn, leaving the Aunt and stranger together. Miss Amanda Johnston would have proposed following, but strange to say, she experienced ngular diz- zines, that made her Fear to leave the sofa. In fact, Miss Amanda had partaken of the amend- ed cider, without knowing of its improvement. and was now realizing its novel and bracing effect. The old gentleman drew his chair close to the sofa, and said— “ [ve been observin’ on you pretty sharp, mum, since I come into this house.”’ * Indeed, sir,”’ Miss Amanda said “thir’’— she noticed the fact herself. “Yes, I have, and I think I know a good, —— spry. movin’ housewife, when I meets er.” You wish to compliment me. sir." There it was again, “‘with’’ and “thir.’’ What could be the matter? “Nota bit. Now. spozen you was offered a house of your own—your own house, I say, just as good a one as this, only not so many jim- eracks in it—all your own.”’ * Really. I do not understand you, sir.” ~ Well, I ain't a bit poetical; so bere goes. You've got me—that is, you know. my heart; your heartis gone, you know. Well, there ain't no use drivin’ round—you’ve got me— that’s it. “ Why, sir. this is most extraordinary (ex- thronory) language. Let me beg of you to ex- plain.”’ “Well, now, there ain’tno use drivin’ round. Tsay, you’ve got me. I'm anold fellow, not only rich, but well to-do. I've got a big farm, and a big house, and not a chick or child in the world. Well, I’m lonesome, Iam. I've tried dogs and cats, and they ain't of no man- ner of use. I adopted alittle fellow, and. blast bim. he liked to have burned my barn and killed me. I tell you, I'm infernal lonesome.” “ Lam very sorry."’ (pronounced sthorry.) What I want is, for you just to up and say you'll be my partner, taken for better or worse. What do you say to that, now?” “Why, really. this is so sudden. so unex- pected,’’ (nearly broke down on “ thith, tth, tho, thudden.”’) “Well, we haven't much time to lowe. I reckon you and [’’—and the old gentleman actually placed bis arm around the slender waist of Aunt Amanda Our dear Aunt fluttered like a bird. * Indeed, indeed, I cannot permit this, sir; Jou are a stranger—my brother’’—I presume this is what our Aunt Amanda purposed say- g.a3 tis the speech proper on such occasions. Bat the utterance was extremely mixed, and the seuse uncertain. Ob, sartain! IH go talk to him right y ;"’ and, without adding another word, the old gentleman sought Mr. Johnston in the library, and broke at once into the businces by saying— “ Squire, I've a sudden made up my mind to become a part of your consarn—spozen all hands williu’.”’ Mr. Johnston, thinking he referred to the Bank, responded, smilingly— “Indeed, my dear sir, L am delighted. There can be no possibl jection, I ara euro.” I don’t see none myself, ef youdon't. Im a queer old fellow, and I’m infernal lonesome. I want something to keep one alive.’” * An excellent idea, sir.”’ “A very good idear for an old man, eh! Of course you want the particulars. You see my name is Jonathan Packwhisttc; I've dealt in stock all my life.”’ * Puney stocks?" *- Now and then, not often, Squire; they're too tender for this country. You pay a pretty high price, and then, before you can market the article. it is just av likely to die on your leavin’ nothin’ there but horns and “ Ha. ha; horns and hide—very good indeed. You'll find a difivrence here, I promise you— this won't die on your hands. Se, no tear of horns and hide.” ‘Pretty tough,eh! Well, I’m glad we're both of the same opinion. I'm an old fellow, who don’t say much; but when I make up my mind to pitch in—I pitch in. Now, I’ve gota thousand acres down on Pokeweed Prairie, as pretty afarm as you ever see. Every acre worth its hundred dollars, and not « chick, ebild. or debt, in the world. That aint much to boast of, for I'm dreadful lonesume.”’ “Ah! you want occupation; that’s sensible. Well, we'll give it to you. Yor il be reusona- bly busy, I promise you. We will have a meet- ing to-day, and [ will lay your proposition be- fore the Board “‘Meetin’ Board! What the snakes has the Board gut to do with it?” “Oh! a mere form. We must keep up ap- arances you know. Since my last move. inkbine is the only one really interested, and I’m sure of his support. If anything were to go amiss, kbine would go crazy."’ “Hum!” said the old man, thoughtfully, “six of you to consult. What the thunder! does it take aix of you to keep her straight / No wonder she ain’t been fixed out before this” “Ob, by no manner of mean#-a mere form, Tassure you.

I jine hands on the proposition, ‘Squire. I goin for better or worse, as the sayin is. I've got papers in them saddle-bags to support all I say.’ * At the mention of the papers and the sad- die-bags, the President started, and almost thuddered ; but. recovering bis self- possession, he shook hands with Mr. Jonathan, who start- ed towards the door. Suddenly stopping, how- ever, he walked back, with a significance that |. shone oat in every motion. ~* Teay, ‘Squire, he exclaimed, ~ that young fellow, your nephew, is mightily of my opinion. He's lonesome, too, I'm thinking,”’ © [do not understand, Mr. Packwhistle.”’ * Well, it's about time you did. I don't say much, but I see and hear the more. That young fellow wants to come into the consarn, 43 well as me.” ** But, my dear sir, he is poor capital—not a cent “The Mammon of Unrighteousness speaks there, Squire, and nothin of that sort pros- pers in this world. Poor to-day, rich to-mor- row—they comes and goes—never sartin—but good character and: good sense with larnin’ stands by allers. Now. that young fellow with Lis young head would be of more service to you than all the big-nosed Finkbine in the universe.’ “No one could a lapeorr Edward's fine qualities better than I—and it has always been my intention to do what you propose, and in- deed more than you are aware of.’ A “ Neverspile a good mind. Now, just say the word.” “I can’t refuse you anything, Mr. Pack whistle. Edward shall have his place as- igned him at once.” “May I tell 307” “ Certainly, if you wish Mr. Jonathan Packwhistle withdrew, and the President began walking his library floor, rubbing bis hands in perfect delight. This oc- cupation was iuterrupted by the door being thrown open, and Aunt Amanda, flying in, throw herself into the aris of the astonished brother Dear Brother Clinton,’ she exclaimed, weeping, “‘how can I leave you?’’ “ Why, Amanda, who the devil wants you to he has no | leave ms ?"” Betore she could auswer the question, the med, and Kila and Edwagd, our astwn- Oh, Father!” door again © “Oh. Unele!”” “ What the devil—are you all insane?” pit- cously demanded Mr. Johnson, trying to ex tri cate himself from beneath the happy famil but another was added to the group. Mr. Fi: over in! bine, under intense excitement, broke into pe room, dancing, laughing, and snapping his fin- gers. “Ita all right, Johnston, old boy ; the Mid- cabin specs on hand—eight strong boxes, melt the vault. We can defy the world. Hur- rah!” “ Well,”’ said the President, extricating him- self from his sister and daughter, “let us to business. Where is old Homespun?” “ Here,’’ responded the person inquired for, standing at his elbow, le-bags in hand. * Well, sir,’ continued the banker, ‘I must apologize for the delay we hate made you suf- for. But now. if you will produce the paper, we will close up at once.’’ ‘* That's my sentiment,”’ said Mr. Jonathan, sitting down, and deliberately unlocking his saddle-b: The company watched his move- ments great interest. First, he fumbled m each side, thrusting his hand quite into the depths of his traveling convenience. Unsuc- cessful at this, he began unpacking upon the floor. First came numerous pairs of country- knit socks, then a red flannel shirt, after seve- ral white shirts, then a few pairsdrawers; these were followed by cloth pantaloons and a night- cap, and so until a tremendous heap of wearing apparel was piled upon the floor. He iinme- diately held up the bags, and shook them,when a package of papers tumbled out. These he banded to his wondering host. They proved, on examination, to be title deeds and abstracts of title. “ Ah! yes,” said Mr. Johnston, *‘ you wish to invest with us, and these are the evidences of your ability. But, my dear sir. you informed us that you had some of our notes you wanted specie for.”’ “Well, well.”’ replied the old man, “‘I’d clean forgotten that. But here they are;”’ and slowly opening a huge, well-worn wallet, he produced four old_notes, amornting in all to five dol- lars! * Tt makes no sort of difference,” he con- tinued; “I was passin’ through in search of a partner for life, as I'm dreadful lonesome, when I thought I'd just get the specie for that. That’s all.” The company could seareely refrain from laughing. An explanation followed. Mr. John- ston’s spirits were too much relieved fur him to refuse anything, and he confirmed all he had romised before, under error. He had aearcely done so, when the boy from the Bank appeared, almost breathless, before them. “The stage is upset, sir, just out of town It’s full of brokers, and all are hurt but two, and they are fighting.’ -: Let them come, ’ said Clinton Y. Johnston. «We are prepared for them. Now let us have some coffee.”’ And ro ended the first and last run on Orr Usere’s Bank! rr eee ___ For Rent and Sale. 1g WASHINGTON, D.
