But he cared not for that. The result of the conference was, that the young men wanted a week in which to consider upon the matter. . of such extent they wanted time to reflect. On the next morning early, Mr. Tatnail, was at Winthrop'a door. He wanted to buy e large lot of intervale woodland which lay tie*: to his own on the river. But Mr. Winthrop, would listen to nothing of the kind. Mr. Tatnall hung 011, for ho felt sure ol the mills being built upon his land, and he wanted all the neighboring lumber. Me swore at Win. :hrop for his "obstinacy," but the latter only laughed. That afternoon Meiwrs Parnsworth, and Ilidgley, called upon Tatnoll, and informed him that tney had concluded not to buv ol hiir. rior. "Muatapha, a strong and activn greyhound, belonged jo an artilleri#* o( Dublin. Raised from i;s Lirih in tha midsl of camp*, it alwaya accompanied its master, and exhibited no alarm in th«. midst of battle. In the hottest engagemenis it remained near the oannon, and carried the match in its mouth. At tha memorable battle of Fontenoi, when the square battalions of the Hanoverians were broken, the master ol received a mortal wound. At tho moment when about to fire upon the enemy, he and several ol his corps were struck :o the earth by a discharge of artillery. Seeing hia master extended lifeless and bleeding, tha dog became desperate and howled piteous, ly. Just at that time a body of French .soldiers were advancing to gain po«a£st. ion of the piece, which at. them Irom the top of a small rising ground. Who would believe it, if the fact were not attested bv several witnesses worthy of credit? doubtless with a view lo revenge his master's death, Mustapha seized the lighted match with his pates, and set fire to the cannon loaded with case shot! Seventy men tell on the spot, and tbe remainder took to flight. Alter this bold stroke, the Hog iay down sadly near the dead body of his master, licked his wounds, and remain, ed there twenty two hours without bus* tenance.

PITTSTON, LUZEllNK COUNTY, PA Tho two partners converged together in a whisper, and for a few moments they bad a mind to accept Tatnall's last offer. They saw that they were completely in his power, and they had road enough of his character to be assured that he would rob them of every penny they had, if he could do so under cover of the law. But the mill privilege would lie valuable to them—very valuable—and of this Farnswortb spoke. J. C. Rah*, JotfKFil Milkman, Formerly of White Swan, Phila. Villi ton Pittston, April 13, 1855. "Very well gentlemen/' coolly returned ho for he thought they were ouly trying to bring him down. So (hey both turned to leave, and as they hade hi in "good by," Mr. Tatnall turned pale. He began to think they were in earnest. ' Slop, atop," he cried. "Are you in earnest. Aim you going to put up the mill*." '•Not here, "But— be in a hurry. Perhaps we can—come in, come in. Let's talk the matter over." •'There is no need," answered Farnsworth, "tor we have made up our minds." "But perhaps I might take up with your offer of two thousand." "No, air." "Hut hold on a moment. I dcclare, rather than have the thing blow over now, I would come back to my old offer of seventeen hundred dollar*." '•No sir, it's no use, for we don't want your land." "But the mill privilege ?" "Nor do we want that either." "But," cried Tatnall in a frenzy of alarm, "let the land go, and take the water privilege and give me what you like for it only put up a good mill there even if you —you—take it for—for—nothing !" "You are too late sir," returned Farosworth with a look and tone of contempt.— Had you at first acted the part of a man you would not only have got a good round price for your water privilege, and your land which we wanted but all other your property would be enhanced in value one hundred per oent.— You thought we were iti yC}ur power, and you would overreach us, but you will find in the end that at thisi*1me, at least, you have overreached yourself." "John Tatnall shrank away into the house and he had a bitter pill to suck upon." The two young men returned To Simon VVinthrop's house and informed him that they should accept his offer. So papers were at once made out, and "Messrs Farnsworth, Ridgley 8 VVinthrop," com. rnenced in good earnest. The saw.mill was commenced upon immediately, andat the same time men were *et to work cutting out the canal. No less than eighty men were thus employed, and the store was built at once.— Tfio greater part of the*e men took pay or their work in land, reserving timber enough for their own building purpose*, and by the next summer those of them who had families moved in. The grist mill was put up in due time, and by the second Autumn quite a village of snug, warm log huts had gono up.— After this the colony flourished and grew. Great numbers of hands were employed during the Winter in falling lumber, and when it was sawed it eould be raftee and run out to sea by the high tides of the Spring and Fall! Those who came to cut lumber, saw the nature of the eoil when the Know was gone ; and they took up lots for farms. At the end of eig'it years the wilder, ness was changed into a village, and Messrs Farnsworth, Ridgley (J* VVinthrop wore wealthy and respected. A flourishing villiage had grown up about them all upon their own land—their three mills were in full operation—their store did a good business and their land was continu ally yielding them immense profits. A school house had been put up for three 3 ears and that Fall saw the finishing touch put upon a hand some church. And where was John Tatnall all this while ? Ho slill lived upon his farm seven miles up the river, and he had grown poor in flesh almost io a skeleton. His power of pinching bis neighbors was gone, for no one now was obliged to do business with him. He saw that grow up, and he saw poor honest VVinthrop grow wealthy and respected—artd he knew that all this might have been npon his own land if he bad been an honest, honorable man. But H was loo late now. tie could only look upon hi* own wilderu8s and then upen the smiling lauds of his neighbor, and the canker ate into hisjsoul and made him miseruble. In time the settlement extended up the river, and the stout trees upon John Tatnafl's land begun to give place to houses and barns, and farms, but John Tatnall did not'live to see it, nor lo profit by it. His chagrin and envy did killed him ; and in the last hour tke man who had, all hi* lifetime, made it a rule of practice to overreaoh all with whom he had dealings was himself overreached by that power, against whioh art of earth cannot prevail.

In one ol the "now towns of Maine Homo thirty years ago, lived a man named .lolin Tatnall. lie was a close ftsind, tlif»{iinn man, and never scrupled to innke the best end ol a bargain at all points wi'.hin allow, ance ol written law. lie never hesitated to make capital out ol'olher people's ne. cessiiies, and any event that could pn( a dollar iir.o his till, was all right to him.— Onee, a neighbor lost a fine ox, just at a time when he was in the. midst ol fulfilling a contract lor culling down and haulieg ont lumber. The contract was worth a thousand dollar*, and he was to forfeit one half of it if ho did not haveull the Uigs in the river before ihn snow melted ill the Spriug. The lo»s ol his best ox would ruin him if he could not mako his place good. lie knew that Tatnall had plenty of oxen, and he went to him and staled his case. Now Tatnall had a number of odd oxen which had he ho'l 10 place in a drove which he meant to drive to market; so he could have told one ox just us well as not. But he saw his neighbor's necessity rind he meant to profit by it. Ho would not sell unless be sold a pair, and not then without an enormous price. The poor lumberman begged and entreated, but it was of no avail. There was not another ox to be bonght for miles and miles around lor Mr. Tatnall had bought them all up. The neighbor could not allow his work lo lie still, so lie paid Tatnall lull double w luit the oxen were worth and took them away. Now Tatnall knew that this would be a vast benefit to hitn. The nearest mill was now siv miles olF, and even at that was a poor, fiimsj concern, built upon a small brook that was dry nearly half the year. From this circuins'ance, people had not sottled upon the rich the river, and the huge trees yet stood upon the finest nlluvial soil in that section of the country. Such an establishment, Mr. Tatnull nt once saw would draw quito a village together in a few years, and thus his land would make him independently wealthy. fiat ho bt-Jjeved he bad the power all in his own hands, and he meant to uDe it.

MERCERAU, Opposite this point in the river was a steep fall of water, but no thought of building a mill there had been entertained od account of the rocky, ragged nature of of the shores. But ill is inlet seemed almost out out by Providence for a mill. By expending one hundred dollars at the outside, the bayou could be cut right on to the river, striking the bank about fifteen rods below the fall, and their mills could be built, and be not only free of danger tro-n freshets, but with enormous power. In fact the water power could be made as extensive as was necessary. But then there were other advantages. In the first place ttie building spot w as far superior to that of Tatnall's, and then it left a splendid growth of intervale pine above, which could bo easily cut and run down. Sheriff* Sale.
