A FAIRY TALE FROM THE GERMAN. Ia old times, when people Bometimea bad visits from Angels, when they thought they were only receiving strangers, it happened that one of thes 8 good beings found himself out rather late, and it grew dark before he could reach a tavern.

As ho travelled along, he came to a place Where there wen twn houses HJ Wo aro' fortunate in having some half dozen correspondents at the principal places of resort just now, and tako this occasion lo tender them our thanks for their attention. Light reading is preferable to all other kinds during the dog days, when Iho sky is sheeted o'er with brass and the thermometer is unable to stand at all.

My Dear Eagle: As you are not only intelligent yourself, but the cause of intelligence in others, I thought you might bo gratified tohearfrom (he land of steady habits," as most of th Yankees fondly imagine' their spot of earth to be. I shall omit a description of the railroad and steamer by which I was forwarded to this noble port and although it may be to you a great source of regret, I shall also omit those natural and very interesting reflections which are certain to arise in tho mind of a traveler upon the characters of his compagnons lu voyage. I make this omission all the more readily inasmuch as I was very 6leepy, dozed considerably on the way, and really took little notice of those around inc. But the experience of my "illustrious predecessors" in the traveling world shows that dozing inattention is no great disqualification for acute observation. Indeed many of them have thought the more they slept the belter they could see and understand what was going on around them.

At all events, there is one great advantage in this mode of passing along tho highways and byways" of life. It enables the traveling man or woman of genius to supply from tho stores of his or her own full heart the spleen, nonsense and carping, which might be sadly marred if drawn from any real external original. Notwithstanding the great advantage of not having seen or heard anything ro markablo or worthy of note on my passage, and therefore being left to a free use of the imagination, for the Brooklyn Esgle. City Intelligence. (ET A sloop just arrived and laden with stone for the Atlantic Dock sprung a leak and went to the bottom yesterday afternoon, so suddenly that thero was not time to furl tho sails.

The hands escaped by clinging to the rigging. She is now sunk in about fifteen feet water at the Dock with all sails set. She will bo got out. The trains come with gioat rapidity down the inclined plane of railroad, used fur transporting dirt in tho grading near the Atlantic Dock. A man driving a wagon loaded with beer bottles imprudently drove upon the track and seeing a train coming, could not induco his horso to draw the vehicle out of its way.

Tho driver had just sufficient timo to cut the traces and get the animal out of harm's way, when the train came thundering along and dashed the wagon, beer bottles and all into fragments. Two cows, worth $25 each, were killed a short time ago by contact with ono of those trains. Horses supposed to be stolen. Two boys, with each a white horse, were observed yesterday to stop in Dean street and proceed to a house near by, where they took away a cage containing a canary bird. Pursuit was mado by a woman who witnessed the theft when the lads took to their heels and escaped with tho cage, leaving the horses behind.

Officer Hayncs shortly afterwards look the animals in charge and left them at Mr. Gove's stable, near the City Buildings, where they may be seen. There is reason to suppose that they were stolen at Williams burgh, as one of the lads has been identified as an old offender, whose parents, however, are respectable residents of that place, but from whom he absconded some weeks ago and has not been at home since.

Srooklgn agk, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AJJ, The Elections. We have short stories to tell about the elections they being pretty much all one way. Tho Democrats are doing a fine business, and, if they do not make any serious impression upon Kentucky, will frighten their opponents considerably. When the Great Kejectcd himself takes the stump there must be danger of screws working loose. To begin Indiana.

In the House the Democrats have made a gain of 7 and lost 1 in the Senate making a nett gain of 6, and a difference of 12 upon joint ballot. Both branches will bo Democratic, which ensures the return of a Dem. Senator in place of tho present Whig incumbent. The Whigs may gain a Con gressman by a majority greatly reduced from last fall. North Carolina.

Democratic Congressmen are elected in the 3d, 5ih, 6th, 7th and 9th districts tho latter being a gain. There may be one "more of the same sort." Old Rip is waking up. Ke.ntuckv Two Whigs and 4 Dems. chosen one of the last without opposition (Boyd). Five members to be heard from.

Alabama. Partial reports show but little or no change. The white, waving hills" are Democratic to their very summits. lET We had a view of the great steamship yesterday, and were not disappointed in our estimate of her size. She is certainly a most sublime specimen of naval architecture, and worthy of the elaborate notices and encomiums which have been bestowed upon her.

Wc refer, of course, to her external proportions of her internal arrangements we choose to remain in blissful ignorance satisfied, as we are, that they cannot surpass, in elegance and comfort, those of our North Itiver steamboats. In looking at her one marvels at the triumphs of human genius, and the prospect which every day becomes more flattering of the ultimate subjugation of matter by mind. When Mrs. Fulton told a gentleman who had called to see her husband, that ho was playing with a steamboat in the yard, she little dreamed that one of the grandest ideas which ever presented itself to the human mind had been realized in his toy, and that in less than forty years thereafter our lakes and rivers would be covered, and old ocean itself dotted, with larger embodiments of it. She scarcely imagined that space was to bo virtually annihilated, and nations heretofore strangers by distance brought into close proximity and made friends.

Yet all this and more, has come to pass. Not only has all conquering steam" faciliated communication and released both men and animals from hard and irksome labor, but it has also revolutionized the social and, we had almost said, tho moral aspect of society. It has leveled up the masses to an enviable standard and shorn prerogative of its advantages. It has done this by placing an agent of immense power within the reach of all, and enabling them to move freely, at a trifling cost, from one part of the country or the world toanother The Yankee who finds that Maine is not the placo for him, can jump into a railroad car, and drop down, as it were, in Florida And the buckeye, or the hoosier, disgusted with the speculations and vices of paper autocrats, can pull up the from his clearing, jump on board a steamer, and bring up directly in the old Bay, or Granite State. In short, a man is no longer the prisoner of distance but can, at a mere trifling cost, run hither, and thither, and every which way, according as luck or fancy may dictate.

Wc shall be met here, probably, with the old adage, that a rolling stone gathers no moss but let a Yankee alone or rather, give him plenty of room and if he don't gather the richest kind of moss, even though it bo from cane brakes, we miss our guess." The same is true, to some extent, of others. But hold we are running into the main ques tion, when our object was merely to record an impression made by the Great Britain. Wc must leave the improvement" to our readers. ET The manner in which the Herald contrives to make people believe that it has correspondence and influence with the occupants of high places, amusing to those who understand its game. Having projected some quixotic enterprise, or got up some kind of a "splurge," it manages to get a formal note from some one in authority, and instantly parades it forth to the world as a proof of its consequence.

Now, the truth is, the same attention would be given to the humblest paper in the Union, with the under standing, of course, that it was to be regarded as a pure business movement, and having no reference at all to the real or assumed character of the paper. thus, in the Herald of to day is a note, apparently from Mr Bancroft though probably written by one ol his clerks requesting the insertion of a particular advertisement. This the editor publishes entire, and says There is no person connected with the administration of Mr. Polk, for whom we have such sincere regard as George Bancroft. He is a man of unsullied honor, of tho highest order of genius, and one whose rcputaiion of an erudite and philosophic historian, will long outlive and snrvivo any administration or any party with which he may happen to be connected.

But we cannot insert," Bah! Not Dead. The Jamaica Farmer has made inquiries in regard to Lyman Benedict, the carpenter, whom it supposed to have been buried beneath the ruins of the great fire in New York, and arrived at the conclusion that the story is incorrect. Ho haB probably abandoned his family, and gone to parts unknown." No Go. Some burglars, of tho crack order, penetrated lo Jamaica lust week, and effected an entrance into the basement of a houso by boring holes trough the window. Finding nothing, howorcr, worth stealing, Uicy departed as ompty handed as they came.

directly opposite to each other, une was large ana beautiful, the other was small and looked poor, one to a rich, and the other a poor man. The traveller said, I shall be no burthen to the rich man, I'mill knock at his door." The rich man heard a knocking at the door, opened the window and asked the stranger what he wanted. The traveller answered a night's lodging. The rich man looked sharply at the traveller and because lie saw he had poor clothes on, and did not appear as if he had much money in his pucket, shook his head and said, I cannot take you in, my chamber arc all strewed with herbs and seeds, and if 1 took in every body who knocked nt my door, I should soon have to taks a staff, and set out begging for myself. You must look somewhere else for a welcome.

He slammed down the window and left the poor traveller standina without. The traveller turned towards the little house and knocked. Scarcely had he knocked when the poor man opened his little door, and begged the wanderer to come in and spend the night. It is very dark," said he, and you cannot go any further to night." The travelter was pleased, and went into the house. The wife of the poor man reached out her hand, bid him welcome, and begged him to make himself at home.

She had not much to give, but what she had she gave with a whole heart. She put some potatoes in the fire, and while they were roasting she milked her goat, that he might have a cup of milk with his potatoes, and when the table was prepared, the traveller placed himself at the table, and ate and praised the supper When he had eaten, and it was time to go to bed, tho wife whispered to her husband, that the poor tired traveller might rest upon their bed, for they bad but one. The man said with all my heart," and he begged the stranger to lie down on their bed and rest himself. The traveller did not wish to take tho poor people's bed, but tliey urged him so much that at last he consented, and laid himself down while the good couple slept on the straw upon the floor. The next morning they got up before day, and prepared breakfast for their guest.

When the sun shone into the windows and the traveller had got up, he ate again with them, and wished to go on his journey. But as he was standing at the door, he said to them "you have been so kind and good to me, that if you will wish three times, your wishes shall be granted." Then the poor man said what should I wish for, hut eternal happinoss, and that we two, as long as we live may have our necessary daily bread. For the third wish I do not know what to ask." The traveller said, would you not like a new house in exchange for your old one 1" The man said, if this could come to pass I should like it," and immediately the wish was fulfilled, the house was changed to a beautiful new one, and the traveller went his way. When the rich man looked out of his window in the morning he saw a new house standing opposite in place of the old one. He rubbed his eyes, called his wife and said, wife look here, see what has happened; yesterday morning there stood opposite a miserable hut, and now here is a fine new house run over and find out what has happened.

The wife went to sec the poor neighbor, and asked her what it meant. The poor woman told her that they gave a poor traveller a night's lodging and that when he bade them good bye, he granted them three wishes Eternal blessedness, our daily bread, and a new house for our old one. When the rich man's wife heard this, she ran back and told her husband, who said, I could almost tear my hair, I am so vexed with myself. If I had only known who the stranger was, I would have taken him in; but I turned turn away. iUase said nis wile, got upon your Horse, the man has not got tar, you will overtake him, una he will give you three wishes.

The rich man rode forward he overtook the traveller, spoke kindly to him, and told him he hoped he would not be angry that he did not take him in last night, that he went to look for his door key, and that while he was gone the stranger went away but he hoped when the traveller returned from his journey ne would slop at Ins house. 1 Well," said the traveller, if T. return I will Stop." Then tho rich man asked him if he would be so kind as to grant him his three wishes as he had done his neighbor." Yes," said tho traveller, I can grant them to you, hut they will not do you any good, and you had better not wish." But the rich man thought lie should certainly wish for something good, if he were certain lie should receive his wish. Hide home," said the traveller, and the three first wishes which you make shall come to pass." Now the rich man, as he was riding alone, began to think what he should wish for, and while he was thinking, he dropped his bridle, and the horse began to spring, so that all his thoughts were jumbled up, and he did not know how to get them in order. He grew angry with his horse, and said impatiently, to the animal, I wish your neck was broken." No sooner was the word spoken, than plump down he fell to the ground, and there the horse lay and never got up again.

But as he was very saving, he thought he would not leave the saddle there so he cut it off the horse's back, swung it on his own, and went towards his hume on foot He was comforted however with the thought that there was still two wishes before him. As he trudged along over the sand, and the noonday sun scorched him, he grew hot and impatient, could never settle in his mind what he could wish. If I should wish for all the kingdoms in the world and all their treasures, there would be still something, that I should want and will wish in such a way that there may be no other thing that I could desire. One thing would be too little, another too much. While his mind was disturbed he thought of his wife, there she sits, said he, in her cool parlor, dressed in her best.

This made him feel cross, and without thinking, he said, I wish she was sitting on this saddle instead of its breakrug my back No sooner had bespoken than the saddle vanished from his back, and ho recollected that two of his wishes were spent. Now he grew very hot, he began lo run, he thought he would sit down by himstlf at home, and think over his last wishes and have that the greatest of all. But when he reached his door there sat his wife on the middle of the saddle, she could not get off from it, and was weeping and wailing. Then said the husband, be quiet wife, 1 will wish you all the kingdoms in the world, only sit still. But she answered, what good would all the kingdoms in the world do me, if 1 must sit upon this saddle, you have wished me upon it, you must wish me off again.

Whether he would or would not he must make the third wish that she shouid be free from the addle, and this was quickly fulfilled for ho had gained nothing but vexation, trouble and a dead horse But the poor couple lived content, quietly and piously to the end of their lives.

Being upon tho ground I went lo meeting vester day, as all good citizens should do. The first object of interest which claimed my attention was a hardy son of independence, who scorns to recognise the conventional forms of fashionable life, walking into meeting under a good warm woolen cap, trimmed with tur the thermometer at UU, and the big drops of perspiration rolling down his cheeks in quick succession showing that as the price of liberty is constant vigilance, so the price of independence may sometimes be a prodigious sw. at.

The manner in which his thick, solid pegs clattered up the aisle was a caution lo weak nerves. But his eccentricity excited no apparent notice. Appropoi Two or three years since, while sojourning in this great land wbilber the pilgrims came" long time ago," 1 was at meeting on Sunday, and at about the middle of the sermon a boy started from the extreme end of the gallery, and with measured tread, planted step after step with a pair of shoes whose soles would have rivaled the broadest brogues that cross the Atlantic. Oh the effect of such a clamping' amid such stillness But when the unlucky wight had gained about half the distance to the door, tho Rev. preacher could stand it no longer, (I wonder how he stood it so long) and called out, in a gruff voice, Boy go back again and set down?" Sure enough, the boy turned, and marked time with the same ringing precision, waking the echoes of tho old meeting house, till he rested from his labors upon the same seat he had just left.

The preacher then proceeded, and his congregation again slept. Well, what of that Why, if you had been there ynu would have enjoyed it that's all. People who live in great cities vainly suppose that in the seclusion of the country there are no sights, sounds, or amusements worth a rush. Poor, mistaken souls Why, we have here our own sonorous Russell, who lets off music, loud and shrill, as he plies his wood saw never thinking to charge his auditors for the pleasure he affords them. His ballads are not merely old and unique, but his airs are equally so.

Juat imagine a littlo man, with a hat like a 6Ugar loaf, and brim of a modest half inch, pouring forth in melodious strains the fine old balad Now you're joined in hymen's band, You must obey the laws of command," to a pupular air, and you may have some faint notion of one of the peculiar felicities of this region. Now that I am in the poetic humor, and my eye in tine frenzy rolling" I must give you a specimen of another ballad composed during the last wur.

As might have been expected, this great event in the history of Stonington borough was not allowed, in (Ins (and of common schools, to pass "unnoticed and unsung." One of the most promising young poels of that thriving town, where whalemen and mules (for the West India market) most do congregate," who had been much frightened durino this "day of wrath Ibis dreadful day," but, for the benefit of elegant literature, had not been composed, sung, printed and published a ballad descriptive of the dreadful scene, closing with this sublime and touching couplet "Itcosl iheir kingtcn thousand crows To kill a hog at b'toning town."

Nichols, master of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, appeared at the police this morning and entered a complaint of embezzlement against a clerk in his employ, named George W. Gold. It appears that Mr. Nichols gave his promissory notes to Gold that he might procure money upon them to pay off the hands in his employment. Gold accordingly got the notes cashed and kept back a great portion of the money.

An exhibit of tho re ceipts at the Philadelphia office for the month of July, as contrasted with tho corresponding month of '44, shows a reduction of only 3G per while the number of letters has been greatly increased.

The receipts at the Baltimore office, during tho same period, show a diminution of 50 percent. At Wheeling there was an excess of 3,252 packages mailed in July '45 over July '44, and at Washington there was an excess of letters and packages, uncon nected with the government, of 33 per cent.
