II Ef A PER ANCE It It TUB KUVIftM MttLMHNAN. A BCK 09 1LDKDIIH. I arrived Bavonne from Pri, by the Mall-Poat, one glorious morning. How well I rs-member it!

No postil lion ever drove more than one stage, mortal armi could not have continued floggiug any farther. The number of horitea wat identified bow there were four presently five, ortix.

The coach-box on which the poatiliou ui i to ait wat the minutest iron perch to which the body of a mas could hook tacit. The coach iUelt wat birtzka-thaped, with room for two. It wat in this conveyance that I traveled over the frightful kill between Bordeaux and Bavonne. When we Beared any deteent a mile or two long, the poatiliou regularly tied the reina loosely to tome part of the trail box, teized the whip and flogged, and thouted, until down we went with a great ruth, dashing and rocking from tide to tide, while my irate friend, the conrier, plied a tort of iron drag or rudder, with the enthusiattic gestures of a madman.

Watching my time, when, after oue of these frantic bouts, mj friend tank back exhausted, and quite hoarse with all his roaring, quietly offered him a buuch of grapes, which I had bought at Tours. Their grateful coolness made the man my frieud eternally; but had I offered him a captain's biscuit at that moment could not have answered for the consequence. So much dependt on judgment in the timing of a gift Guam vial at Bavonne, the first notable thing Imw wat a gendarme, who asked me for my passport. I had none. He looked grave, but young in travel, pushed him aside cavalierly, and bade my servant, who hid arrived the day before, see to my luggage.

The eocked hat fol lowed me into the inn, but bidding it be off. I walked into a private sitting room, in which a bed was a prominent article of furniture, lor. I dered for m) breakfast tome broiled ham and eggs, and was informed that I could not have ham, though in Bayoone. I should be served with chocolate and suear-stieks. pump-water, and milk bread.

While breakfast was preparing, thecocked hat arrested me, and marched me off to the police-office. "Your pas-port said the inspector. "My breaktast." said 1. "You ar under arrest," said the Inspector. Then I referred to the Consul, with whom I hud a sort of second-hand acquaiutance, and ho offered to provide me with a passport; but his offer wu di-clinsd.

I was conducted to the Pre- fet. The Prefet trauslered me to the Procureur du Roi, whom I unhappily disturbed when tie was sitting dowu to breakfast. I apologised for my unavoidable intrusion. Pray don't think of it." aaiJ he, "I take I cold fish for breakfast and iced coffee;" so he sa' down and listened to my tale, and said thai I must be detained. "Impossible I cried, I have scut ou my money and baggage to Madrid." "Many political apitntors have slipped throni; Bsyonne replied the Piocurenr.

"Wri to Lord Harvey. When a passport comet for you from Paris you can pass the frontier; not before." Of conrse he was "desolated" as he bowed me out.

In the year one thousaud tight hundred aud forty-eight, I was euuaxed in a tour through the bye-ways, nu horseback. Dining this tour I found myself, oue summer morning, drawing near to the small town of Maikoiumeu, iu the Palatinate.

Though the dawn had been cloudless, the noon threatened a storm, and already the big drop struck on the ground. Respect for my baggage, which consisted of two shirts, three books, aud a pair of stockings, made me look for shelter. The heavy 6 rops fell faster as I cautered on Pt a UrUk pace and jast at the entrance of the lit tie town rode through a pair of broad nates into what I took for the inn-yard. Having sta bled my horse iu a reinarkahlu clean stall, I ran into the house and got under cover, just as the first peal of thunder rattled among the distant hills, and the rain bad begun plashing down in earnest. A pretty child sucked its fingers in the passage.

"Quick, puss," said I shaking the rain drops from my hat, "tell somebody to come to me! "Mamma "the child cried, run ning iu, "here is a strange gentleman. A pleasant-looking woman, with a homely Germ'n face, came adi iininz room with the child clinging to her dress, and a-ked me what I wanted?

A tall, good-humored man of about fifty made his appearance, and I repeated inv desiie in a tone somewhat more authontive. He lanithed and the wife laughed and the child shrieked with laughter.

Circumstances create new aud experience correct! error though much of the latter yet remains to be corrected, bng-land has its cockneys, Italy its lazaroni, France itt oueriers, and America itt boys; each class peculiar to the country, and in tome manner in dicative of itt institutions. Even the B'hoyt differ among themselves, aud the Cincinnati hoyt are a ditiinctive body from their brethren by name in other parts of the Union.

New Vnrk aud Philadelphia claim for thrm-elves the original B'hoys; but the "tncen City" has a to belong to any one but a blackguard. This wai the clap-trap ot the piece, which raised huziat in the pit from those who had the vices but not the virtues of tlie red-thirted hero. Thit piece did mora to degrade tboaa already degraded, and to vitiate the language with slang lhaa would be presumed. If the Li hoys are to be exhibited, exhibit them at they are; thow their defect, and make no attempt to gloat them Over with tinseled falsehood. The B'hoyt tu the ci are certainly very numerous, aud have contributed much to the by ao meant enviable reputation of rowdyism it ha acquired.

Inferior at they may teem, they have great influence iu giving a town a charac ter. Upon them depend itt notoriety, and in a great measure it quiet. They it it who fig ure to prominently iu riott and "masse gen erally; who wear to tremeadunsiy on excit ble occasions: and make threats that would have done Lucius Cataliue good to think of. They are always "iu" for a scene, and never tail to make the most ot it. It they can frighten any one, they are highly repaid for the ex ercise to which they have put their lungs and the amount ot gaseout compound they have permitted to escape in inch detonating volumes They have a remarkable ambition to be what Jobntun eallt "Lorda of the (treat and twrort of th wayi" and with peaceably disposed citizen havetuc-ceeded.

The question it often asked, what profession the B'hoyt fol low 1 They hays no regular one, and aome none at all. Their vocationi are various, although they frequently abandon ev ery thing to play the B'hoy, and bow that support them is a matter tuuy hist unaorstasd themselves. A fiw of them are, or have been mechanic, who, if they labor at all, do so only one or twice a mouth. These, usually, however retire from business very toon after they have embiaced the tociety of the B'hoyt, and acquired the knowledge of the loafer and the "rounder" which enable them to live upon their wit or other' generosity or industry. The larger portion of the B'hoy never teem to have done anything in particular, but everything in general; though the every thing belongs to the past rather than the present and the future.

They continue to live, anyhow. and that it all any of ut can do. The hoy, generally speaking, ba had but little education tnd let breeding.

He hat no guide but hit passiont, and all the feelings of onr nature tpeak to hit rode heart a ridiculous, because an unknown, tongues No poetry it there in his soul above that which can make him enjoy a negro melody.

The most delicale sentiment passing through hit brain would undergo the change of the medium, and settle into a coarse form amongst the crowd of course ideas gathered there. He laughs and shouts and swear, and never pauses to think if he hat a higher destiny, and if he did, would hardly be able to arrive at any definite conclusion. The B'hoy delights in mischief, and frequently in villainy. So obtuse, in fact, ii hit com prehension that there are timet when he can not distinguish between the two. What brings him fileasiire and sport, he thinks, must have asuni-ar effect upon everybody else, and if it dont, he cares not.

Had he reflected upon the fable of the boyt and frog, he would perhaps change hit opinion. But here it the difficulty. He sufficient Tjumber of her own manufacture and training not to require any accession from the has read nothing. If he had, he would be wiser and pedeatriant, whose only fault is they mind their own business. If any thing should be dropped in the affray, the B'Hoys might take it to remember their opponent by.

And it all this done without the cognixtnee of the policel Oh, not They understand it all. Why under the tnd don tbey arrest the guilty parties thenl The police are busy about what nearer concern them. Moreover, the B'Uoyt play a prominent part in the elections, can control voters, and intimidate them to "go" the ticket they hand them. They drink whisky, and labor industriously a the polls, thereby be ing of incalculable benefit to the officers, whose nioralt and character! are in many iustaucet as near xero a their own.

The old taw would then be verifi-edi "When rogues fall out, honest men will get their due." Of thit both are afraid.

These are nearly the hoys of Cincinnati. Whatever they are in other citiet, it concerns ut not to say. They are here, almost universally, privileged bl ckgnards, brutes and villains. Some persons pretend to believe they are good at heart, tleve tbey any it to, could it be reached! They might answer very well in case ot a war.

Upon the tame principle that the Dutchman' doz ounht to be good for coon, the B'hoyi should make good soldier. Tbey are fit for nothing else. Tbey could stop a bullet ai well as a gentleman, and with far lest lost to the community and country. Noni-wbsino a Clekgyhan. Many year agj, when sloops were substituted for tteam-boata on the Hudson River, a celebrated divine was on hi way to hold forth to the inhabitant of a certain village, not many miles from New York.

of his fellow who was an unsophisticated countryman, to make himself appear "large" in the eye of the passengers, entered into a conversation with a learned Doctor nf Divinity. After several ordinary remarks, and iutro-during himself at ono of the congregation, to whom he (the doctor) would expound the Word on the morrow, the following conversation took place: "Wal, doctor, I reckon you know the Scriptures pooty good," remarked the country man. "lloally, my frieud," taid the clergyman, "I leave that for other persons to determine You know it does not become a person of any delicacy to utter praise in bis own be- hail." "So it dosen't," replied the querist; "but I've heerd folks say, you know rather more than we do. They lay you're pooty good in larniug the folkt the Bible; but 1 guest 1 can give you a poser "1 am pleased to answer and I feel gratified to tender information at any time, always considering it my duty to impart instruction at far at it lies in my power." "Wal," says the countryman, with all the imperturbable gravity in the world, "I 'spose you've heerd tell, iu the Big Book, 'bout Aaron and the golden calf; now, in your opinion, do yon tmuk the calf Aarou worshipped, was a heifer or a bull. "The Doctor of Divinity, at may be imagin ed, immediately "vamosed," and left the countryman bragging to the bystanders that he had completely nonplussed the clergyman.

The hoys do uot add largely to the moral repute-tiou of a city; aud, as we have no morals to spare, we will them, in their stead.

Some, of an inferior order, may pattern after the Moses and Sykseys of the Kmt; hut those of our genuine, true-olue B'hoys. scorn the servile imitation. They "go it on their own hook" here, have more boldness aud more viciousness than their cotemporariet.

It were, perhaps, tomewuat difficult to give our reader au ulea ut their exact appearance, as all who be long to the fraternity have not adopted a uniform. To a man of the world, they areas immediately recognizable as though they wore the helmet of Achilles. The red shirt and bomba zine-covered hat, so geuerally associated with the hoy, are too cummon-place fur our less extravagant and more modern genio.

When lhey find no prospect of a small eouflagration and are anxiout for a run, they very probably give oue of the false alarms for which Cincinnati is so deservedly celebrated. They usually distinguish themselves exceedingly at fire, a well by their activity and diligence in quelling the flames, as by making more noise than any other persous in the neighborhood.

The few 'rumpuses' which take place upon these occasions, if they owe not their origin to th B'hoyt, find them participators before their close. hen bricks are Hying, spanners flashing and club desceuding, they seem to be in their element, and crack a "chum" over the head with as much good will as they would a pea-nut, when some distiu guished tragedian it striving to out-grin a Brazilliau ape in a horrid death scene. They have not, we are happy to say, much pastime of this kind afforded them. Did ii depend upon their vote, they would uever let a fire past without being enlivened by a small number of cracked crewnt and black eyes. To the engine houses they are all much attached, as they serve for loafing places.

Tbey make these a toit of rendezvous, where to meet their compauiout and iuflict most disagreeable comments upon the passers-by. This they can do with impunity, as the character and number both have the effect of obviating punishment. Here too the B'hoyi can conduct almost any kind of riotous proceedings, and after the labors of the day lie dowu and go to sleep, a method embracing economy aud convenience.

Of the convenience, economy, and general utility of a Water Cooler, the endersia-ned woold reter the public to tha thoniandt throoehout the Watt and boulh, who have used them during tha last lour years.

Of the decided luxury of a drink of pure Ice water during the excessive hot wtathar of tho summer months, it is deamed nnnacassary to call attention, Every one understands that to bo vory desirable. It is well known to every one who has used them, that from two to ten nonnds of ioo will kep as mani gallons of wator as oold as ioo itself, at least twelve boors. They not only combine convenience with economy. bnt art a beanlifal ornament to the saloon, the parlor, dining room, and office. xwrienoo has established the fact beyond a doobt, that the best and only sore way to filter and cleanse tno waters ot the Ulno, Mississippi, and Missouri rivers, is to put the wator to be ased in a jar tnited She par note, and lint tee with it.

The actio of the ice npon tho water, closes the sediment and other offensive matter setue to the bottom of the vessel Hence it becomes important to know what kind of lar is best adapted to uw preservation or ice, and is quite reasonable to suppose thai an article made from two weii.xnown nun -conductors oi neat, vuc zine and charcoal, win accomplish that object. Winchell's Octagon Water Cooler Is composed tee above named materials. It ia sow about Coor voase since Water Coolers wort first introduced, and the manufacturer takes pleasure in saying that no article ever got up by him has give such universal and undivided satisfaction to those who have ased them.
