Blessings on thoe, little man]
Barefoot boy, with check of ton)
With thy turned up pantaloons.
And thy merry whistled tunes—
With thy red Up redder still.
Kissed by strawberries on the hill—
With tho sunshine on thy face
Through thy tom brim’s jaunty grace;
Prom my heart I give thoe Joy—
I was once a barefoot boy I
Prince thon art—the grown-up man
Only Is republican.
Lot the milUon-dbllared ride—
Barefoot, trudging at his side,
Thou hast more than he can bny,
In the reach of ear and eye
Outward sunshine, inward Joy,
Blessings on the barefoot boy)
Oh) for boyhood's painless play,
Slelp that wakes in toughing day;'
Health that mocks the doctor’s rules;
Knowledge, never learned at schools;
Of the wild bee’s morning chfae.
Of the wild flower’s time and place,
Plight of fowl and habitude
Of the tenants of the wood.
How the tortoise boars, his shell.
How the woodchuck digs his cell,
the gronnd-molo sinks his well;
wow, theiiobin feeds her.ydnng,
How tile oriole’s-nestis hung;

Where thefreshestberrWgrow,
Wh«« the gronmhhnt trails in vino,
Where the wood-grape’s clusters shins;
Of the black wasp’s cunning way.

And tho architectural plans
Of gray bomet articansl—
For’eschewipg books and tasks,
Nature answers all he asks';
Hand In hand with her ho k.l^

Part and parcel of her Joy— /

Crowding years in one brief moon.

Through tho day and through the night.

the clergyman started off to their ; the
mourning-coaches went to the Crown Inn, where
the ladles were to wait till the sexton came to
let them know he was safe out—the cousin
would not go home without that news—and I
slipped him the key at the church-door, as he
discoursed to'us all about the mysterious dis
pensations of Providence.
My heart was light going home, so were Steele
1 and Stoneman’s. None of us liked the job, but
we .were all to be paid for it; and I must say
1 the old man came down handsomely with-the
needful, not to speak of Burton ale ; and I was
to be made his partner without delay. We got
the money, and had the jolification; but it
wasn’t right over, and I was just getting into
bed, when there was a ring.at our door bell, and
the housekeeper came to say that Dr. Parks
wanted to see me or my uncle. What could ho
want and how had he come back so soonv? Parks
was the Elsworthy’s family doctor, and the only
stranger at the funeral; he went in the second
mourning coach, and I left him talking to the
sexton. My clothes were thrown on, and I was
down stairs in a minute, looking as sober as I
could ; but the doctor’s look would have sobered
any man. “ Thomas,” said he, “this has turned
out a bad business ; and I cannot account for
it; but far. Elsworthy has died in earnest.—
When the sexton and I opened the coffin, we
found him cold and stiff. I think he died from
fright for such a face of terror I never saw. It
wasn’t your uncle’s fault; there was no doubt
ho had air enough.; but it can’t be helped; and
the less said about it, the better for all parties.
I am going to Dr. Adams to take him down with
me to Beverly. The sexton keeps poor Elswor
thy, to see if anything can be done; and Adams,
is the only man we could trust; but I know it’s
of no use.”
The doctor b apprehensions were well found
ed far. Elsworthy could not be recovered ; and
after trying everything to no purpose they laid
him down again in the coffin with air holes.—
The ladies came back, and wo kept the secret;
but in less than six months after, a rumor went
abroad of heavy forgeries on the North Eastern
Bank. On investigation they proved to be over
fifty thousand, and nobody was implicated but
the deceased manager. His family knew noth
ing about it; being all ladies, they were entire
ly ignorant about banking affairs; but they left
York next season, took a handsome house at
Scarborough, and were known to get money
Regularly from Loudon. They never employed
any doctor but Parks; and his medical manage
ment did not appear to prosper, for they never
were well and always nervous ; not one of them
would sleep alone or without a light in the room;
and an attendant from a private asylum had to
be got for the cousin. I don’t think the matter
■ever left my ancle’s mind ; he never would un
dertake an odd job after it; and all the partner
ships in England would not have made me con
tinue the business, and run the risks of another
false funeral.
A HUSBAND AND PATHEB.
A young man and his wife were prepared to
attend a Christmas party at tho house of a friend
some miles distant. i
“ Henry, my dear husband, don’t drink too
much at the party to-day; you will promise me,
won’t you ?” said she, patting her hand upon
his brow, and raising her eyes to his face with a
pleading glance.
“ No, Millie, I will not; you may trust me.”
And he wrapped his infant boy in a soft blan
ket as they proceeded.
The horses were soon prancing over the turf,
and pleasant conversation beguiled the way.
“ Now don’t- forget your promise,” whispered
the young wife, as she passed up the steps.
Poor thing! she was the wife of a man who
oved to look upon the wine when it was red.—
Bat his love for his wife and babe, whom they
both idolized, kept him back, and it was not of
ten that he joined in the bacchanalian revelries.
The party passed of pleasantly, the time for
departing drew near, and the wife descended
from the upper chamber to join her husband.—
A P an B shot through the trusting heart as she
met him, for he was intoxicated—he had bro
ken his promise.
Silently they rode homeward, save when the
drunken man would break into snatches of song,
or unmeaning Ipnghter. But the wife rode on,
her Babe pressed closely on her grieved heart
‘‘ Give me t,he babe,\Millie, I . can’t trust you
him,” said he, $s they approached a dark
and somewhat swollen: stream which they had
to ford. ■ ;

EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS.
A DOM2&BTIU SOIEANC^
, The papers relate the following story One'
morning last week, a scene occurred on the
train from New York south, which fora time
created quite an excitement among tie paasen
gen. Among those on the train, was a lady
about thirty years of age. She was good-look,
ing and attracted much attention from her air of
melancholy. At Princeton, a sun-burnt but
▼cry handsome gentleman entered the oar in
which the lady in question Was seated. No
sooner had the parties glanced at each other
than the lady swooned. On recovering heftelf;
it appeared that/the gentleman.. was her hus*
band, whom she had. not teen for ten years.
He hod started for California when the gold fe
ver first broke out The porties.at that timete
rided in Princeton, New Jersey. The husband
was taken sick and did hot recover for-some
time. Prior to his convalescence the lady: had
gone South, in the capacity of * goyernem, and
wrote that fact to her husband, who, unfortu
nately, did not receive her letter.. No answer
to his letter reaching him, hO thought hia wife
was careless of his welfare. A feeling of
came over him, and he returned to the,Stats# a
few weeks ago. Meantime 4he lady had fallen
hfirto a large Southern estate, lefthesjiya
member of the family in which she had been
teaching. - These explanations being mode,the
opce more united couple started on a Southern
trip together. There war certainly two happy J ’
persons on that train.
City Toads in the Ctounto**; :.
A gentleman liVing a shirt distance outcftW

toads from Williamsburg and vicinity to ld*
garden; not, we imagine, with thi benevolent
idea of giving them a Sommer airing, but fo ea

and for very practicable purposes; Until re
