go without a thing, and yon re sure ter

and company 's certain ter call!"
" You've grown into a philosopher
since we met," said Mrs. Sovereign.
"Like as not," answered Mrs. Kue,
whose notions of philosophy were rather
hazy. " Bnt, yon see, 1 was alius one
of them folks as set a sight by appear
ances—mores the pity! And the teeth,
I got 'em byway of a slant; and some
how or other when I don't hev 'em in.
the roof of my month seems ter go
clear np ter the top of my head. You
see, there win a young fellow as was a
donuat-fsort of peddling dentiatr-aiul
he was took down with the small-pox,
and nobiodv ter look fjter him but them
as was scarred tor death of it; bnt as it
wasn't no groat account ter me noway,
and I couldn't be much worse off in
t'other place, if I died of it, than with
'Liza .Ann, why, I jest up and nursed
him clean through with it; and when
he got well, says he:
" ' What shall I do fur you fur all
you've dime in my behalf ?' And says I,
" * Nothing whatsouiever. I was "only
curious to know if I'd be liable to the
disease.'
"'Nonsense,' says he; 'I want ter
pay VQU in some way. ' And as he wusn't
forehanded, and I knowed how ter feel
fur them aa wasn't, and as it was all in
his line, I said,
," ' Weil, if yon're bent on it, make
me a set of teeth.' And I'm awful 801x7*
I ain't got em in."
" Indeed you deserredthem,"returned
Mrs. Sovereign. " But don't ooncem
yourself about it; I shouldn't know that
you were without them if tot had not
told me."
"Oh yes, yon would, begging your
pardon, if TOT WUS oust to see them"in."
" You are dropping a piece of steak
from your paper, observed Mrs. Sover
eign.
" Lor! I wouldn't mind losing the
whole of it, I'm that glad at seeing you,
only 'Liza Ann would raise sicb a rum
pus ; she wouldn't take no excuses ; anil
it couldn't be made up ter her noway !
I s'pose she's a-scolding now, 'cause* I
ain't at home frying this 'ere ; bat I left
the table all sot, and the water a-biling
fur the tea."
"And who is 'Liza Ann f"
"Goodness! I thought everybody
knew Liza Ann—leaatwavs, she thinks
they do. Why, she's my 'Tom's widder;
an'he left word on his dying-bed that the
wns ter pemde fur me as long as I lived
an' sometimes I think she's a-trying ter
nee how soon she can get rid of me.
"And do yon still live in Joy's
Court?" pursued Mrs. Soverign.e
" Hakes alive ! didn't you know that
we'd left there these ten year ? I s'pos
ed that wns town talk, t wish ter good
ness I hed my teeth in, and I'd walk
along with you a bit, ter hev a little
chat, and not keep you a waiting."
"Oh, never mind yonr teeth." An
other woman might "haTe hinted that
she had her tongue left.
" Now that's downright Christain In
you. 1 take it, 'Liza Ann herself would
not tw Been ont-doors with me in this
old gown ; and it wa'n't but yesterday
aa I met Mihs Deacon Merit, and stop
lied ter ask after th# deacon's numb
palsy, and she jest makes ar though she
wnsn't looking my way, and walks
straight on. I tell ye what, Miss Sover
eign, if ye want ter find out the natnr'
of folks, what virtues they're made of,
and what air hung ofltfi 'em like tlseir
clothes, jeft lose your worldly prosperity
and your good looks, and wear out your
store clothes. But that Cashmere shawl
is ter blame fur it all—plague take it!"
" What do you mean ?" aekrt! Mrs.
Sovereign.
" Oh, like as not you never see me
wear it. I never lied it on my back
more'n twice. I felt as if I was carry
ing off Christian's burden every time I
put it on. 'Liza Ann don't know Fve
got it—he'd take it away if she did. I
keep it sewed up in a towel in my straw
lied—there wa'n't nowhere else out of
the way of 'Liza Ann's prying eyes. I
can't bear the aight of that shawl, it
makes my eyes smart ter look at it, and
the tears jest come of their own accord.
Sometimes I've been a mind ter sell it;
but, sakes alive! you can't never get the
vwlly of a thing like that!"
" And how much did you give for it?"
asked her listener.
"A hundred dollars!—silver ones! It
blisters my tongue ter tell it! A hun
dred dollars, if I'm a sinner; and I've
wore it twice, and hed more wretched
ness out of it than there air threads

"Oh! oh!" sighed Mrs. Sovereign,
wondering if her companion was in her

" Yes, I hev. Sometimee I've thoughh
if I oould apt a hundred dollars £*r it

" LVar, dear! But you www tolling
me almiit the shawl ?"*
" Lor, yea ! I've got a habit of wan
dering unto uie like my old grimd
mothur. She'd Iwgtn a-telling hw the
children gut the measles, and she'd let
v into the private history of half the
family by the wav, and wind up, like as
not, with a fortin somebody wna exjawt

that weut a-\oy<tgtu£ tor the world's

Orovsns, but alie never got no more'n
his cheeat after he wus lost overboard.
You see, alio was cxjavtiug of him
home, and his cheeet canio instead.
Wa'al, Miss Nlies, she didn't so much
as open it fur six months ; ami then ahe
• found tliia 'ere shawl in it, which 1
j a'pose ho wus a-bringiug houte ter her.
1 sometimes wish site never An/ ejwued
i it!"
* i Howwomever, the minute I clapped
my eyes on the shawl I vim covetous id
' it, and I never re*ted till 1 got it. 1
• thought it Mas the most beuutifnleat
; thing I'd ever sot eves on. It looked as ,
i if it wus all wove of rubies and precious
- atones, and it wus most all border.
• saTmg a bit of scarlet about aa big as a
lndana handkerchief! Now. vou see,
, I'd never owued a shawl but this 'ere
robroy that I've got on ; and though it
f wa'n't so nigh used up as it is now, it '
1 lied hwt considerable of its bloom ; and
so, one day, when Miss Niles dng>iHHl
in, and said she hedn't no heart hir
nothing sence James' death, and she
1 shouldn't never wear uothing bnt black
clothes the rest of her life, and how her
I only desire uow wus ter go out ter liidy
' fur a missionary, and if ahe could onlv
'' raise a hundeni dollars on that Caali
mcre shawl, 'twould help pay her way,
i and after that the Board would take
care of her, it seemed a sort of a pious
i duty ter help her out, if she felt a call.
Lest ways, it was one cf the biggest
temptations that ever beset a po<r vain
•j mortal. We wus a-bnying back the
house in Joy's Court at that time—fur,
I j ve see, my husband's name hed bin on
\lr. Grew'a 1 wiper, and what did he do
but up ami fail, and obleege us ter mori- j
gage the house! Wa'al, I said it then,
1 and I say it now, that it aiu't proper fur
a man ter put liia name tor another
man's paper, and leave his familv out to
1 the cold—not that 1 blames John half
so much us myself, fur he dkl it jnst ter
obleege, aud I bought the shawl only
ter please myself! We wus trving ter
4pt enough tergitlier, you understand,
tor pay off the mortgage, and some years
we couldn't do no better than ter pav
■ | the interest. I worked amazing hard.
I took old Miss Lain sou ter board—and
a heap of trouble she wns, poor soul,
with her rheumatics and ticdolorenx ;
and ahe hed ter hev skeleton jellv made
fur her, and lastly she lied ter be fed ;
and it wa'n't no fool of a job—she wus a
powerful eater! But I never give her a
i hasty word, nor a wry look : and I
treated her as handsome as if she'd
'a bin my own mother, or the fust lady
in the land. Y'on see the town {mid fur
her board—and a mighty small one it
wns, bnt it helped ; and after she'd .
gone home I hed more time, and I took
in needle-work, and I'd raked and
scraped a kunderd and some odd dol
lars tergitlier—my John he'd bin laid
np with rheumatic fever, and hedn't
got nothing a fofhand that year—and I
) wus going ter pay it down that very !
next Monday, when Miss Niles and the
shawl they come in a Saturday!
" I hed a great struggle with myself
{ fust. It kep' me a-turning and twisting
all night a-makiug up of my mind. I
hankered after that shawl like all pos
sessed, till it seemed as if I couldn't be
happy withont it noway, thongh all the
while I knowed I'd BO business with
anything so grand. Bnt all the neigh- j
b<>ra lied hed new shawls that fall, even
Miss Grew—lor! tliey rides in their car
riage ter-day, and goes about crackling
in their silks, as if failing aud bringing .
honest folks inter poverty wa'n't a crt- '
ing sin!—and I thought ter myself how
'1 this ope would be aroxy with cutv when
she saw me -ad ott m my new tJash
mere, and the other one and her Bay
State would be cast inter the shad#.
1 "So, without onat thinking that I
hedn't nothing, like gowns and fixings,
ter correspond, I jest paid Miss Niles
the monrv, and carried my shawl Yip i
stairs. W a'al, she wa'n't no sooner out
of the house than Fd give a farm not ter
hev tonight it; but I wua too proud ter
call her back, and Fve alius hed her
> heavy on my mind, as well as the shawl;
i for, you know, alio wns loat a-goiug ter
, Indy, and 1 somehow felt sort of rcspnu
-1 i sibm—seeing, too, as slio wus the Inst of
her family. Wa'al, John he didn't know
1 he I the hunderd dollars—l'd kep' it
fur a surprise—and now 1 couldn't make
up uit mind ter tell him about the shawl.
So when it came Sunday I put it on with
my old delaine, and my rongh-and-ready
straw bonnet, and Huouked down the
bark stairs ter meeting without saying
a word ter him—he hedu't got able ter
be out himself—and I felt so horrid
mean atomt it that when Miss Jenkins
said, ' What a splendid new shawl you're '
a-wearing of T it didn't give me the
i leastest quiver of pleasure as ever wus ; I
nor when Miss Grimalkin said, ' It really
; don't seem worth while ter hev such "n
dreaav shawl ter wear atomt here, where
there's nobody ter sec—now, does it T
; nor when Miss Little declared, ' There
' wasn't nothing like a shawl ter cover up
j yawr old gowns, and make y look re
i spectabfi* ! though I knew it wns all
■ and jealousy that ma-to their words
'* ter think I'd rithnr hev 1
. my neightoirs good natured than envi- j
1 otis as I git along in years. I wa'n't half
■' so comfortable in my Cashmere as I'd
| bin in the old robrov"; and nfter I wore
' it twice I took such a disliking ter it j
i that I jest hid it nwav, and went back
1 j ter the robroy. But 1 alius felt as if
1 the Cash mere hed crippled us. Y'e see,
we alius lias ter pay fur our luxuries,
even after we've got tired of 'em. Moig-y
wns harder ter git after that, or perhaps 1
Fd misused my opportunity and didn't
desarve another. Howsomever, Mr.
Donbleday, who held the mortgage, j
died, and his son foreclosed, and turned
jas out o' house and home! After that
there wusn't much ter hinder us from
going down hill pretty lively, John he
lbst courage, ana wns gitting weakly ; ;
the children died one after another, ex- |
| cept Tom, and 'Liza Ann she worrited
; the life oat out of him in time ; and so
here I am, on old woman, with naught
in the world but a set of teeth and that
i there Cashmere shawl. You see, if I
! hed paid the money onto the mortgage, I
it would hev give John n lift, and put
| some spirit inter him—fur work never j
; seems so light as when you're gitting '
1 ahead—and then maybe I shouldn't hev
I hed retribution a-follcring of me round
all my days in tlie shape of 'ljiza Ann
j a-twitting me of being a burden and a
millstone around the neck of she and the
children; though, au< store re knows, I j
slave wJI fur all I gtt—what with being
np at five o' mornings, making pies, anil
frying <t griddle-aaftir/bfl standing at

A Terr Old Church-Bell.
Everybody who lias been to New-
York knows the old Middle Dutch
Church, on the corner of Nassau nnd
Liberty streets, which is now used a*
the city {HxdofiW. The bell hung in
the tower of this church for over a
. century.
It was made in Amsterdam in 1731,
the vear before that in which George
Washington wna born. That it ante
dates the birth of Washington does not
impress us s > much as that Col. Abra
ham do Puts ter, a prominent citizen of
New Y'ork. who presented the bell to
the cliurcii, was born in 1657. His
older brother, had he toeu an Kngtish
-1 man instead of a Dutchman,might very
! well have seen Charles I executed.
The bell ia thought to be n very
beautiful one. Tradition says that the
citizens of Amsterdam, previous to its
ousting, threw quantities of silver coin
ijito the bell metal. Ftohi the appear
ance and tone of the bell, it is not un
likely that this may be true. Near the
i top it is surrounded by a band of
exquisite scroll-work. In these days

f A legacy to the Low Dutch Ghureh
in New York.)
Early in the Revolutionary War,
when the British converted the Middle
Dntrh Church iuto a riding school for
the cavalry, a member of the church,
named Oothont, got permission from
! Gen. Howe, the Commander-in-Chief
of the British forces, to remove the
bell. He stored it at his country-seat,
which was on what is now Twenty
third street. Some years sftor the
British had evacuuted the city, when
the chnrch had been repaired for wor
ship, the bell wns restored to its old
place. There it remained until IM4,
when the church was leased to the
Government for its present use.
It was then taken to the church in
Ninth street, and thence to Lafayette
Place church, where it was in service
until the spire was removed. It ia not
now in use, bnt next year it will prob
ably find room in the belfry of a new
chiireli which is building far np-town.

Scene in a Menagerie.
A letter from Twin state" that*scene
of great excitement was vKwwkl on
Feb. 7, at the menagerie in the l'iazr.i
il'Armi. M. Bidcl, a tamer of wild
to-aats, bail been ncno-tomed to collect
lions, lionesses, to-nrs, and liyienna in
the same den with a lamb and to make
Ilium caress the latter without doing it
nny injnrir. On this occasion fto had
thrust the head of the little animal into
the month of the lion, when suddenly
the king of beasts was seen to close its
jaws, from which blood at once flowed
in abundance. The *|>eotslvrs were in
consternation and uttered loud cries,
supposing that the exhibitor himself
would l>e devoured the next moment.
Bidel, however, struck the beast a smart
blow ou the head with liia closed hand
and the dead toidv of the lamb fell from
its mouth. The lion roared, but at the
order of the tamer wnit sullenly to Be
down in a corner qf the cage. At that
moment a lioness rushed on the exhibi
tor, bnt fortunately only tore the sleeve
of his shirt. Bidel then retreated to
another corner and ordered, by a ges
ture, his terrible pupils to withdraw in
to another noinpiyrWncnt. They all
obeyed, nnd the man thee profited by
that moment to make his escape from
the cage.

There ia much fcekug in regard to Ue 1

dealing with the man by the neighbor* |

murder, which waa most brutal iu H* ;

i Thursday morning by member# of th*
Hontvet family, at who#* residence th* i
outrage was cummitted. Wsgnet, who j
wa* a former employ# of Mr. Hontvet,
arrive.l in hi# boat from Bter Island at

mg snrti aa te give rise te stmuicton on ,

intent ou some object which Ixxled bo
good. He passed the front of the houae ;
aud to the rear, and soon after entered 1
the house. After a short ooimraaUon
he aeked Cornelia Chriatenaon t* come
into the^entry with him aa he had aome
' thing very important to comnmniete. ;
i Th# trout an. who suspected something
i wrong, involuntarily started lo acquire##
in Magner's iwqueat. Trembling with 1
tear ahe approached the entry, where, i
ou arriving, ahe discovered Wagner
with an axe in hi# hand. With a shriek
#h# started to return to the krtobrn.,
I where ahe had left Mrs Hontvet and (
j another woman named Annette Lawaon,
but before ah* could re-enter the door
be reowved * heavy blow ou the he*d
from Wagner with the axe. Tlie blow
was sufficient to kill her instantly. Tb#
murderer, uith the in his hand, en
tered the room where the other two i
women were and without a word struck
Miss Lawaon a terrible blow upon the
aide. TTre woman fell to the floor, her
agonv Being #ueh as to soon occasion ■
lotrt cries of distress. She waa asked
: by Wagner where the money was that i
was kept in the house, being to tliei
. same lime warned that if ahe did not
tell hiua he would kill her at once. ,
tilie continued to groan, seeming te pay
but little attention to what th# brute '
wa* saving. All at once Wagner seem# 1
to have Invome possessed of the spirit
of s demon, and heaped the blow# with '
the sx* thick and fato upon the bead
and lodv of the unfortunate woman.
Mi*# Lawaon'# head waa literally crush- ,
cd tea jelly. Meanwhile Mr*. Hont- j
vet, who ha"d received a severe blow
from the mnnlerer with a ehair, was

remaining in her secure position until
