With a fair show of diffidence, Mr. E in formed Mr. H -that he was going to be married on a certain evening, to Miss Jane A-—, the daughter of a well known farmer in the vicinity, and that he had come over to invite him to act in- the ca pacity of groomsman. Mr. H——was highly delighted in view of the interes ting occasion, and was particularly grati fied in finding himself honored with the proud position of second best.” Mr/ E desired the whole matter to he kept a profound neeiet, as he had concluded to take certain parties by surprise. Mr. H-—-pledged Ins most scored honor that he would hot breathe it to any Human be ing. With this understanding the two separated, to meet at the house of the hnde, early on the evening of tike wed ding.

After excusing w heat he could—without giving any satisfaotorv reason for his visit—Mr. —-took h« departure, no doubt leaving the impres sion upon the mind of Miss Jennie, that perhaps he had an affection for her. “ Ba <% sold,” said Mr. H -, to him self, as he left for home. “ But I’ll give Mr. E a Boland for bis Oliver.” The plan was soon laid and we will briefly relate how it was carried out. Mr. H had a friend, Dr. S , a practi ses physician in the neighborhood, and after relating to him the “sell,” thev agreed upon the following: Dr. S——-had in anticipation u a party/* to which doctors are always invited. It was to Come off at the house of a lady in the neighborhood, and the Doctor was to , Mr ' H of the precise day.— When the “tune was up,” the doctor was notified, and so was Mr. H . lie latter, through a confident, informed his joking friend E that there was to be a “surprise party” that evening at the house of Mrs. j that quite a large number of ladies and gentlemen had been invited j that they would all assemble, as near as possible, at eight o’clock in the evening, and that they anticipated lots of fun, as the family knew nothing of the j lr ‘ ?* r ‘ —was in, heartand hand, Md at tne appointed hour, he was dressed from “top to toe.” After reaching the house, he was ushered in by a young lady, whom he knew very well, and who was also let into the secret, (she was there in the capacity of « nurse,” if occasion should require it.} Mr. E thought he smelt the very largest kind of a mice , but when he was invited by the lady to Step into the next room, he could not act so ungal lantly as to refuse. So in he went— i j re t beheld—well, he has not yet told all he ..did see—and he might have seen a good deal more if ho had not cut his visit exceedingly short, and deter mined never to attend another “surprise party." , The double joke, so cleverly planned and so successfully executed, has Created an immense deal of gossip in the neigh borhood —and whenever a hearty laugh is desirable, Mr. H-—’s « wedding,” and Mr. E ’s “ party” are sure to afford the necessary material 7 An Elegant Extract.^ — u Generation after generation,” says a fine writer, “ have felt as we feel now, and their lives were as active as our own. They passed away like a vapor, while nature wore the same aspect of beauty as when her Creator com manded her to be. The heavens be as bright over our graves as they now are around our paths. The world shall have the same attractions for our offsprings yet unborn that she had once for our children. Yet a little while and all this will be still ed, and we shall be at rest. Our funeral wul find its way, and the prayers will be said, and our mends will all return, and shall all he left behind in silence npd darkness for the worms. And it may be for a short time we shall be spoken of, but things of life will creep in and our names soon be forgotten. Da>s will continue to move on, and laughter and song will be heard in the room in which we died; and the eye that mourned for us will be dried, and glisten again with joy, and even our children will cease to think of us, and will not remember to lisp our ntunes.- Then we shall have become, in the touch ing language of the Psalmist, "forgotten and clean gone out of mind.” When Death Comes. —Death comes at morn, when the sun is juat'rising in the east; at noon, when its rays are most re splendent ; at eve, when it gradually sinks beneath the horizon; at midnight when it is entirely hidden from view. It comes to the babe just commencing to prattie; it comes to the man of middle age, when the connecting links binding us . to life are most strong; it oomds to the aged man with trembling limbs and faded eye tight, led along by others; it oomesto the poor, struggling to obtain a meagre sustenance; it comes to the man in comfortable cir cumstances, by whom life is heist employed; it comes to the wealthy, rolling im afflu ence and ease; it comes to the motlatigh ingat his own folly; it comes to the man of just sense enough to pass through life easily; it comes to the educated mauglo jying in his Cicero and Homer; it comes to the Christian who looks upon it only as a hap; >ier land.
