Close by the basement loor-step, A representative toad Has made, all the sultry summer, His quiet and cool abcxlej And the way he bumps ami bounced About on the area of stones. Would break every bone in bis body, That is if ho had any bones. When a man is cringing and abject, And fawns for a selfish end, "Why they should call bim a toady, Vhat mortal can comprehend ' Since for resolute independence, Despising tho courtier's code, And freedom from mean ambitions, There's uobody like the toad. I know how strongly against bim boine Kpular whimsies go; 15ut the toad is never vicious, .Nor silly, nor stupid, nor slow. Stupid? Perhaps you never Never noticed bis. jewel eyes? Slow? Oi- his tongue's red li'ghtuiug Striking the darting Hies? Oh, but the mouth lie carries! To make dimensions clear. One longs to describe it briefly As reaching troiu ear to car; But that no Professor of reptiles Is able (so far as appears In books upon kindred subjects) To locate barachian ears. No matter how stern and solemn The markings about his eyes, The width of his mouth preserves Lim From wearing too grave a guise; It gives him the look (no matter How sad he may be the wliil Or deep in profound abstraction) Of smiling a chronic smile. llln ponderous locomotion, Though brimful of nerve and force, And well enough here in tlie area, Wouldn't do for a trotting course. Too modest to ran for Congress, Too honest for Wall street's strife, His principles all unfit him 1 ""Or aught but a virtuous life. A hole Ih the ground contents hito, So little lie asks of fate; Philosopher under a nock-leaf, He sits like a king in state. Should a heedless footstep mash him, In gravel absofln-d and blent, He never complains or grumbles, He knows it was accident. No grudging scrilie in a sanctum, No writer of prose or rhyme, Gets through with so much bard thinking In the course of a summer-time; And if sometimes he jumps at ;:ouclusious lie does it with accurate aim And after mature reflection, Would all of ns dil the same! But what wi'l ie do in winter, 'Midst the wind and snow and hail, With his poor soft, unclad body fnshclfered by wings of tail? lie cannot go south, poor fellow, In .search of milder air, For spring w ould bo back triumphant Before he was half-way there! But what are his p!n.ns for the future, Or where he intel!'ts fo go, Or what, he is weighing and planning, Are things we shall never know. He wmks if you ask him a question, And keeps his own counsel well; For in fact, like the needy knife-grinder, lie never has a story to tell! Nathan Jones, a small farmer in our vi cinity, hud a daughter, as pretty and as buxom a lass as ever thumped buttermilk in a churn ; and whether yon saw her carrying eggs to market on a flea bitten mare, or helping to stir nppio butter at a boiling frolic, or making a long reach at a quilting, or sitting demurely in tho log meeting house on a Sunday in short, when ever you saw het. she always looked as pretty, if not prettier, than she had ever done before. Not withstanding her attractions, it will scarcely be credited that Sally had reached the mature age of eighteen without an avowed suitor. - Admirers, nay, lovers, she had by the score, nnu whenever liquor was convenient, many a sober youth got drunk bcc itt.se of her, and many a sighing bach elor would willingly have given his best riding horse, or even his share in dad's farm for her. There was indeed no lack of will on their part ; the difficulty was in mustering up coutago to make the jiroposal. Man kind seemed for once to be impressed with a deep, proper sense of its own un worthiuetfs. Now, far bo it from any one to infer from this that Sally was prudish or unap proachable. On the contrary, she was a good humored, as comely, aud disposed to be as loving as sho was loveable. Poor Sally ! it is a great misfortuue to a girl to be too handsome ; almost as great as to be too ugly. There she was, sociable and warm heart ed as a pigeon, amiable as a turtle dove, looking soft encouragement, as plainly as maiden modesty permitted, to her bashful company of admirers, who dawddled about her, twisted their thumbs, biting the bark of their riding switches, and playing a number of other sheepish tricks, but uover saying a word to the purpose. Sally was entering on her nineteenth year, wheu sho was one day beard to ob serve that men were the meanest, lowest, cowardliest, orniest creatures; iu short, good for nothing but to lie under an apple tree with their mouths open, and wait un til the apple dropped into them. This observation was circulated from mouth to mouth, and, like the riddle of tho Sphinx, was deeply pondered by Sal- U's lovers. If one had wit enougn to mca meaning, certainly no ouo had to prove the answer. Not of this poor spirited crowd was Sam P.,tP. a stalwart youth, who stood in win ter six feet two inches in his stocking, (in summer he didn't wear any.) .m was not handsome in the ordinaiy t 1T was freckled, had fldC (I 'l.e iciiu. WHOM THE TRUTH MAKES FREE, AXD ALL EBENSUURG, PA., FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1874. abig mouth and carroty hair. His feet-but no matter he usually bought number fourteen and-a half boots," because they fitted him better than sevens or eights. Sam was a wagon maker by profession, owned a flourishing shop, and several huu died acres of laud, that secured to him the reputation of independence. For the rest ho was a boisterous blade, a good rider, a crack shot with a rifle, and an accom plished fiddler. Bold to the confines of Impudence, he was a favorite of the fair ; with a heart as big as his foot, and a fist like a isledge hammer, he was the acknow ledged cock of the walk, and preux cheva lier of the pine hill country. Mr. Bates met Sally Jones for the first time at a quilting, and iu sixty seconds af tor sight he had determined to court her. He sat beside her as she stitched, and even had the audacity to squeeze her hand under tho quilt. Truth is mighty aud must be told. Although Sally did not reseut the im pertineuco by a stick with her needle, she was not half so indignant as she ought to have been. I dare not say she was pleased, but perhaps I should not be far froni the truth if I did. It is undeniable that the more gentle and modest a woman is, the more she admires courage aud boldness iu the other sex. Sally blushed every time her eyes met those of her new beau, and that was as of ten as she looked up. As for Sam, the longer he gazed the deeper he sunk into the mire of love, and by the end of the evening his heart and his confidence were both completely over whelmed. As he undertook to see Sally home, he felt a numbness in his Joints that was en tirely new to him, and when he tried to make known his sentiments as he had pre viously determined, he found his heart so swelled up that it closed his throat, and ho couldn't utter a word. "What a darned cussed sneak I was!'' groaned Sam, as he turned that night on his sleepless pillow. "What's come over me that I can't speak my miud to that pretty gal without chokin' ? O, Lord ! but she is too pretty to live on this airth. Well, Pin go:n' to church with her to-morrow ; and if I don't fix matters afore I get back, then darn me !" It is probable Sam Bates had hever hearkened to Ktory of "llasselas, Pijjnce of Abyssinnia," or ho would have been loss credulous while thus listening to the whispers of fancy, and less ready to take it for grau ted that "the deficiencies of the day would be supplied by the morrow." To-morrow came, and in due time Mr. Bates tricked off in a brau new suit of Jew's clothes, was on his way to meeting with the beautiful Sally. His horse be decked with a new fair leather bridle, and a new saddle with stirrups, looked as gay as his muster. As they rode up to tho meeting house door, Sam could not forbear casting a tri unii'l"' a1""5 al ll,e ciowd of Sally's adorers who stood around filled with mor tification and envy at his successful auda city. Sally's face was roseate with pleasure and bashfulness. "Stop a minute now, Miss Sally ; I'll jist git down nnd lift you off." Sam essayed todismouut, but in so doing found that both feet 'were hopelessly fast in the stirrups. His face swelled and red dened up like a turkey gobbler's. In vain he twisted and kicked ; the crowd was ex pectant ; Sally was waiting. "Goth darn the stirrups;" exclaimed Sam, endeavoring to break tho leathers wi'h his desperate kicks. At this unwonted exclamation, Sally looked up and saw her beau's predica n ic nt. The bystanders began to snicker. Sally was grieved and indignant. Bouncing out of her saddle, in a twink ling she handed her entrapped escort a stone. "Here, Sammy, chuck your feet out with this 1" "Oh, Sally Jones, into what an error did your kind heart betray, to offer this un timely civility ;in the presence of the as sembled country admirers, rivals aud all. Sam took the stouo and struck the fran tic blow at the pernicious stirrup, but mis sing his aim, it fell with a crushing force upon a soft corn that had come from wear ing tight boots. "Whoa, darn yo ?" cried he losing all control of himself, and threatening to beat the horse's brains out with the .stone. "Don't' strike the critter, Sammy;" said old Jones ; "you'll gin him tho poll evil. But jist let me ungairtu tno sauuie, anil we'll git you loose in no time. In short, the saddle was unbuckled, and Sam dismounted with his feet in the stir rups, looking like a criminal in foot hob bles. With some labor he pulled off his boots, squeezed them out of tho stirrups, aud then pulled them on again. The tender Sally stood by all the time, manifesting tho kindest concern ; and when he was finally extricated, she took his arm and walked w ith him into church CUUlf ' T of U, But this unlucky adventure was muuu ' meeting during the first prayer. m rv ;, drew off boots and rode homo iu his stockings From that time Sam Bates disappeared that tunc tarn nates uisappca.c u fro: from society. .Literally ana mciapnysicai- AHE SLAVES BESIDE.' ly he shut up shop, and hungup his fiddle, i He did not take to liquor like a fool, but took his axe, and cleared I don't know how many acres of rugged heavy timber land, thereby increasing the value of his tract to the amount of several hundred dollars. Sally indirectly sent him divers messages, intimating that she took no account of the little incident at the meeting house, and at length ventured on a direct present of a pair of gray yarn stockings, knit by her own hamltf But while every effort to win him back to the world was unsuccessful, the yarn stockings were a great comfort to the self imposed exile. Sam wore them continually, not on his feet, as some matter-of-fact booby might suppose, but in his bosom ; and often du ring the intervals of his work iu the lonely clearing, would he ttraw tl.om out and poiu uer ou them until a big tear gathered iu' his eye. "Oh ! Sally Jones, Sally Jones ! if I had only spunk enough to have courted ye Saturday night, instead of waiting until Sunday morning, things might have been different." And then he would pick up his axe and whack it into the next tree w ith the energy of despair. At length the whole country waselectri fied by the announcement that "Farmer ; Jones had concluded to sell out and go West." Ou the dav auoointcd for tho sale : there could not have been less thau ono hundred horses tethered in his barn yard. ', Sam Bates was there, looking as uneasy as a pig in a strange cornfield. Sally might have been a littlo thinner than usual, just enough to heighten rather than diminish her charms. It was generally known that she was averse to moving west. In fact she took no pains to conceal her sentiments on the subject, and her pretty eyes were evidently red with recent weeping. She looked mournfully around at each familiar object. Tho old homestead with ! its cb.inl.-eil tain loobed -iis - ti. chn-ir ' - - i - - - j tree under which she had played in child hood ; the flowers she had planted ; and then to see the dear old furniture auction ed off the churn, the apple-butter pot, the venerable quilting frame, the occasion of so many social gatherings. But battler than all it was when her own white cow was put up ; her pet, that calf she had saved from the butcher ; it was too much, aud the tears trinkled afresh down Sally's blooming cheeks. "Ten dollars, ten dollars for the cow." "Fifty dollars !" shouted Bates. "Why, Sammy," whispered a prudent neighbor, "she hain't worth twenty, at the outside." "I'll gin fifty for her," replied Sam, doggedly, .!,., cnt 1,, of this n ere of iiu"l "" i.""; ollnntrv he must needs thank tho pur- eliaser for his compliment, and commend Sukey to his especial kindness. Then she extended her plump hand, which Sam seized with such a devouring grip that tho little maiden could hardly suppress a scream. Sho did suppress it, however, that she might hear whether lie had anything fur ther to say, but she was disapiointed. He, turned away dumb, swallowing as it were, great chunks of grief as big as dumplings. W l.on Ai-orvtbiiirr was Ki.I.I oft am- . ,. . ..n t- n.ar t It .".Oil I..111V . I I SI W ISC.

The epidemic has at length reached our quiet little village here in Central New York, and tho people arc crazy to become grangers. A hardy farmer from the neigh boring city of Utica came up tho other night and made a stiit iug speech regard ing the Patrons of Husbandry, as the order is called of w hich he claimed to be a prom- iuent officer, and after the speech, stepj were taken toward the organization of a grange. Only one farmer was present, others who came not being able to obtain admission, as the hall was crowded before. they arrived. But that isn't very material in a grange I am told. The hoi ny-handed farmer from Utica was made chairman of the meeting, and, after several stilting stceches had been made on subjects more or less remote from agri culture, persons who desired to enroll themselves as grangei-s were invited to step forward. There was a great rush for the stand, when a woman's shrill voice cried, "Hold '." Elbowing her way to the front he claimed the right to bo enrolled first. "What have you done'."' asked the chair man, somewhat sternly, "entitling you to be enrolled among tho "Patrons of Hus bandly?" "Uaised 'leven daughters," was the proud reply. "All got husbands, and if I vl't a patron of husbandry, I should like to know who is?" She was received, tV once with cheers ! j A carenter claimed to be something of j a farmer. Said he had woiked round a , farm agood deal built fences round it. He j had got in a good deal of hay, too got it in out of the rain.

He added t 'n .t he had orgauiscd granges amorg farmers iti our most populous cities, bat uerer had he encountered such pitiful ignorance re garding the farm as ho found here. Hu hoped that they would henceforth confine themselves strictly to the business in Land. A tailor wanted to join on the strength of "eewing,'! and an artist because he had drawn saw-logs-drawn them with a crayon. A father of a large family claimed dis tinction on account of the years he had de voted to 'cradling,' and aptcacherbecausa of the eflective manner in which ho had handled the ax of tho apostles. Bnongh names at length enrolled, tle mest ion of the election of officers was next in older. The chairman, in looking about for a chief oflicer, asked who had raised the most during the past year. A man ia tho poultry business said, when it COine t'j chickens, ho guessed he had raided about as god "crops" as anybody. The Military farmer, who had had veiy little to say, remaiked. veiy solemnly, that the man who was entitled, above all others, to bo the chief ofiiecr, bo far as raising was concerned, was now, unfortu nately, serving a term in the State Prison, under tho odious and oppressive laws ea aeted to put down the farmer. "We'll change all that," said the horny handed firmer from L'tica; '-but what did he raise?" "lie raised a ten dollar note from one I" his neaily broke tip the meeting, tho crowd roaring, aud the boss granger fiyinvj into a towering rage. He declared hu didn't believe there was a drop of agiicul tural bloi.d in tho whole lot.
