A YANKEE SKETCH. Travelers have all discovered that strangers, making their debut in large or small villages, generally create more or less sensation among the ‘natives,’ who—if the stranger puts on the slightest degree of mystery, or stops among them any length of time—lose no space nor spare any exertion to sift him to the very bottom In one of these localities, the over-grown vil- lage of Dayton, Ohio, several years ago, there made his a ee a long-legged, lean, lank specimen man nature, whose tout ensem- éle bespoke him from *‘ the land of pork and beans,”’ or, as some seem to reckon it, ‘‘the land of steady habits."’ away down east! The crit- ter seemed somewhat out of his latitude, and how or whither he came, none appeared able to elucidate ; bat certain it was, the stranger ere- ated no little sensation around the village, ing everywhere, with his ‘sts carefully stowed away into the deep recesses of his capacious pockets, and his fuzzy white hat knocked and “ crowded”’ into ail manner of acute angles and indentations, sitting jauntily upon his tow-hair covered head He had been seen making his entre inte the villege upon the tow-path of the canal, from to- ward Cincinnati, eatly in the morning; and about noon, after having well threaded each by- way, lane, street, avenue and alley of the vil- lage, he brought up at acake and beer shop hear the centre of the village, and immediate- ly walked into the afore: pot of cheap fod- der. A Datebmen kept the shop and as it was a place of common resort of the idlers and strag- glers, it was tolerably well stowed when our down-east genius popped his hatchet-shaped phizinto it. Ho took a cool survey of things in general and the pyramid of gingerbread and eatable things in particular. ~* Heow dye deou ?” said he, giving the fat old Dutchman behind the counter a familiar nod, which the cake and beer man returned another nod, and a sort ef low guttural bration between that of a snort aud a grant. Guess yeou got some cakes and beer, here, hain’t ye?”’ “ Well, I tink I has a few,” said the beer fact; well I’m darned man. * Yeou hev, that’s hungry, hain’t had a bit o’ nothin’ tu-day, and guess I'll bev afew o’ them notions any way,” ssid the stranger, who by this time was the eynosure of all eyes. and the object of consid- Anerriment to the crowd in and about the bper-shop. The Dutchman and the Yankee « dickered”’ awhile about quantity and price. but finally the matter being adjusted, the Yankee sat down upon a whisky cask, arranged his fodder before him on the end of the counter, and started his masticating fossils, full chizzle. “‘ Stranger,’’ says one of the crowd, “I'll bet ee you’rea Yankee.”’ “Well, guess yeou'd win, tu, on that,”’ says the Yankee i ay “Oh! [ know'd you was; you're all terrible creatures for gingerbread, hain’t you?’’ con- tinued the inquistor. “ Ye-es,”” says the Yankee, taking a pull at his beer, «I reckon we du devour it once in a while. Taint hard to take when a feller’s in- nards are nigh to a collapse.”* “Where do you hail from when you're at home. anyhow?” ** Whar du | hail trom?” says the Yankee. «Yes, where do you belong ?”’ continued the questioner. * Where du I belong? Ye-es, (another swig of the beer.) well, squire, seein’ its yeou, I'll tell yeou. Loum froma mighty ways deown to-ards sunrise; ye-es, mighty surprisin’ folks daown our way: spry, teou, always up afore the sun. darned old eritter—often hev tu give it a pry in the cold morning tu get it off beout its usivess. Fact, by golly! Wern'’t for spry folks deown there in Maine, guess yeou'd hev to du without a sun ‘easionally out this way, for it often takes a heap of coaxin’ and stirrin’ to get the old blazer torise and spread hers-If.” “ Reckon you have mighty cold snaps down that way’”’ says one. “Cold snaps?"’ says the Yankee, “ [ guess we deou get up a leetle the coldest snaps deown there in Maine, ‘casionally, ever yeu did see, pre-haps.”* What do you call cold weather ?” says he. I ken tell you squire; when thecattle's tail drops clean off, and the grindstone busts; when ram's horus suxp like pipe stems, ceows bags freeze up; when snow falls fifteen feet on a fevel, and bard enough on top to bear au ox: when four-and-a-half proof brandy freezes. and the fire goes cut; then, just about, then, squire, we consider it a mighty cold snap of weather.”’ This pieture of cold-weather symptoms in Maine tickled the crowd amazingly, and the laugh seémed to fre-up the Yankee _ ‘Guess yeou needn't takeon so jeout it; bet five dollars yeou hain’t got uo such cold snaps beout bere, anyhow!’ As no disposition manifested itself among the crowd tochalk up to the Yankee’s cold weather in Mrine, be choked down his r dander, and with # gulph swallowed the residue of his beer, crowded the last eake into his mouth, snd giving that aperture a wipe with the back ot his bony band, be faced the Dutchman. ~Neow, landlord, cipher up the damages, and il square the account.” ‘- Vell, der vos der beer, cakes, ten, dat vos sixteen ¢ 5 “Sixteen cents! 1 swan, that’s a heap 0° money to invest in cakes and beer, anyhow; —_< cents! Guess twelve and a half will do, won tit? “No, dat it von’t’’ said the beer man; “chust down mit der moneys.” “ Wall, neow, guess yeou needn't get riled up beout it, anyhow: guess I kin plank the vewler thout gittin’ cantankerous beoat it.

Leisurely bauling out an old greasy wallet, carefully eucircled with innumerable tapes and yarns, a Spanish dollar was brought forth, the wallet re-closed and stowed away, and the dol- lar patiently placed upon the counter by the imperturbable down-easter. “Neow, there's the powter, jest smash that and take evat your bill,”’ says he. The moment the Datchman put his finger on the dollar his Dutch blood seemed to centre ia bis Sag, gh _— so red. flaming red, be- came this loeale. that a candle mi; alm Lave been iguited therein ~~ ~ Shorge' Shorge!’ bawls the beer man to one of his deputies, + run down to the squires aud git der constable to come quick ; by'ne wien tod. dis tam Yankee got der counter! monish May be there wasn't a general muas! The Yankee abroad, at all times a genus of sup- posed duplicity, trickishness, sharp bargains aud cute “ dodges,’’ was at thiscritical epoch— the time that Obio was so bountifully supplied with “ bogua’’—and by his suspicious maneu- vering. made an especial object of distrust. The bare mention of his having presented a counterfeit dollar was the cvs for all the look- «rs-on to rush up to the counter, surround the down-easter, and ex © the dollar, while a deputy shopman made a break for the consta- bie ‘The whole movement was so suddenly executed. that “ down-east” found hiniself in the bands of the fangs of the law before he a could well say ‘‘punkins.”” A grand raft of tulks bonored the down-easter with & proces- si00 to the ‘office of that bi and mighty puis- saut arm of the municipal law, the magistrate.

Well, wo'll see about that, you rascal !"’ responded the magistrate. ‘ Now, constable,” he continued “ seareh the rascal; see how much of that base coin he has secreted about him.” The Yankee was forthwith fumbled over. tumbled and tossed, every seam and quarter of his rough, plain, and substantial toggery duly serusinized, and the contents—a large jack- knife, piece of chalk, strings, a wallet and two letters—were placed upon the desk of the mag- istrate. The contents of the wallet exhibited several hundred dollars in good specie-paying bank funds, a gold piece, and two five franes, all gen- uine stuff; although the court tried mighty hard to throw some doubt upon the purity of the funds, but it was no go, and the attempt to question the means by which so much money came into the possession of such a queer look- ing biped Lapay equally futile as the exami- nation of the letters indicated very distinctly that the down easter had a dad and mam of some repute in the State of Maine, who had heaps of love, affection and regard for their —— offspring—now in the meshes of estern law. @ “Have you been robbing any body, sir? Are these your letters. and this your money, sir?”” inquired the magistrate, keenly scrutinizing the Yankce. “Well, squire, I reckon as how them docu- ments be mine, ef I know anything beout law and gospel.’ “What is your calling—what do you follow for « living?” inquired the magistrate “What deou I follow fur a living? Ye-as wall, squire, [ live about like other folks do: breathe principally, and—” “Come, sir, no impudence,”’ says the magis- trate; ‘‘answer direct and to the point. How came you in possession of this counterfeit dollar, this vile fraud, eh ?’” ‘“‘Counterfeit!"’ says the Yankee with evident spirit; ‘counterfeit 7” : “Counterfeit, sir! Certainly I do; and if you don’t render a ready and distinet account of how it e in your possession, I'll commit you forthwith.” “Well, perhaps you wil!,”’ says the self-pos- sessed down-easter. ‘Bat I calculate, squire, to prove yeou’re no judge of specie if you be of law, and I'll jest bet yeou or any ono else, squire, that ar dollur there, is the gen-eo-ine stuff, and nothin’ else; a fust rate rale gen-eo- ine Spanish dollar, by jingu.” “Why, you ragca!,” says the magistrate; “don’t 1 know good money from bad’? “Calkerlate yeou don't, squire. If yeou wan't lo bet on’t I've got the document ta lay up, anyhow!" says the Yankee. “Bait bim! bait him, syuire! Safe bait, squire,”’ was the ery in thecourt; and the mag- istrate in the heat of the excitement and appa- rent safety of the risks, (that 1s, having all the fands in his bands) forgot his dignity and au- thority, and cried out— * ru bet you fitty dollars that is a bogus dol- — the Yankee, with the utmost ‘done, squire; jest lay yeour rags along side o’ my hull wallet thot and fl lose, rake “em all down.’ “That I will,”’ says his honer, “and send you to Columbus into the bargain, sir.”” “O, yeou needn't give yourself any onensi- ness abeout me; Poe business transaction, uire, aud I calkerlate it will come out nice uar any bow.” ow, we'll soon setile this,” says the squire. ‘Here, you Jonez, you're a silversmith, feel this dollar.’- Jones felt the dollar, grinned, smelt it, gave two grins— ‘- Pewter or Brittany, squire,’’ say3 Jones. “Yeou,”’ says the Yankee to Jones, ‘do yeou kuow seelver whon yeou see t?” he con- tinued, grinning at the silversmith. ~* Reckon I ought to,” says he. “Fire in that stove o’yeurn, equire?”” Squire nodded yes “Wall, nvow, jest give me them tongs and the dollar, #0; now, squire, dun’t get alarmed, no hocus pokers *beout this, {ali on the tender hooks of excitement ;) but by jest holding that dollar over them coals a min- ute and # half, I'll fetch out a bran spick and span bright geueo-ine.’ ‘he mob rushed to the desk where the Yan- kee dropped the dollar from the tongs, and be fore yeu could say John Robinson, Esq., the silversmith bawls— Squire, yo've lost, by thunder, it’ ere dollar, been covered with tin foil or quicks ver! The entirecrowd acknowledged the corn, the magistrate confessed it at last; but iu conside- ration of handing back the Yaukee his wallet and contents, dollar, &c., he generously said sd d call it equare, and he'd let the stranger of The “leetle ends’’ of the Yankeo’s coat were soon standing out towards sunset, and court closed for that day. ee Sere rx Covrt.—Hon.

Counsel—Did you decapitate him? Witness—Undoubtedly I did; that was a mat- ter of course. Counsel—Did you perform the Crasartan op- eration upon him?
