THE DEVIL'S GIFT}
OR, THE THREE BARS OF GOLD.
A LEGEND FROM THE FRENCH.
. Tlicro onco lived In Scotland three poor black
smiths. Their habitation wus situated in the moun
tains which surround the pretty town of Perth.—
Though .they labored incessantly, they could barely
obtain a sufficiency of the coarsest food; and fre
quent and sorrowful were their prayers that God
would send them some little portion of tho bounty
which so many enjoy without merit; or that their
lives and wretchedness might end together. Labor
and prayers were alike fruitless; misery alone seem*,
cd their lot.
Desparlngof fortune, they were one evening con*
versing,
‘•Since,” said they,our prayers avail nothing,
let us turn to .the - Evil One, ho may .hour • us with
favor 7”
Scarcely had they pronounced these, words when a
voice wua heard : \
“ At midnight at tho Dtdckrock mountain I will
Await you. If you have courage to meet mo there,
fortune layouts. Remember midnight,”
Speechless with' terror, (ho brothers gazed upon
each.other. The youngest at lust broke tho si<
loncer • .
V-'My brothers, do you hear 7 Shall wo go 7”
‘‘ Wo will obey,” exclaimed the elder. •
On thb.approach of midnight, they bent their steps
towards the mountain, As they drew heur.it, they
heard the ringing of nn anvil, but saw poitlior liglit
nor smoke. Willi (error (hoy advanced Iq discover
whence the sound proceeded. They reached the end
of the path. Tho noise of a thousand hammers re.
sounded ; but on looking around they saw but u soil*

GOOD ADVIOU TO YOUNG WOMEN#
Trust not to uncertain riches, but prepare yourself
fofr every emergency in lifci work, and not
depend upon servants to make ydtjf bread f swoop
your floors and darn your own stockings; Abyvo oil
.things do not esteem* 100 lightly those young men
who sustain themselves, and their. agci| parents by
the work of their while, you care ft/r and re
ceive into your company, those lazy, idle poppinjays,
who never lift a finger to help themselves as long as
(hoy can keep body and sour together, and gel sutll.
oionl to live in fashion. If you are wise you will
look at the subject as wo du , and when you are old
enough to become, wives, you will prefer the honest
mechanic, with nut a cent to commence life, to the
fashionable loafer, 1 with a 'capital' of ten thousand
dollars. Whenever we hear remarked, “Such a
young lady has married a fortune,** wo have always
trembled for hor futuro prosperity; Riches left to
children by Wealthy parents. oflpit turn a curse in
stead of a blessing. . Young women remember thjs,
and instead of sounding the purses ofyour lovers,
and examining the cutset their coals,look Into their
hsb|ls and their hearts. Mark if they have a trade
and can depend upon themselves; see if they have
minds which will load them to look above a bullerfly
existence. Talk not-of the beautiful jvliijo ahiq,und
the soft delicate hnnd—the, splendid form.and fine
appearance of the young gentleman. Let not those
foolish considerations engross your thoughts.

The following capital story wo extract from a lot

“ Shall I toll you a bit of a story, having . no con

“.Old Col. D , of the Mobile District, was one
of the most singular characlora over known in Ala.
bama. ;Ho was testy and eccentric, but possessed tna.
ny line qualities, which were fully by the
people of the district. Many,-urhis freaks are fresh
in the memory of (ho “old *uns ” of Mobile—-and afl
of them wlll toll you that the Colonel, though hard
(o beat, was once tcrHbly taken in by a couple of

"It seems (hat Gof, P— had a misunderstand*
|n£ with the IWn gentlemen alluded to, and was'hoi
on speaking- terms with them, altho* all of the three
wore profiyisionalty riding- the circuit pretty much
together. vThe youhgroncs, being well awareof flip
(hp Colonel’s irascible nature, determined as (boy
left ono.of lhp courts for another, to have sontpsport
at his ekpchse by the way.' They accordingly got
nb'bttt half pn hour’s start in leaving, and presently
(hey arrived a( a broad, dark slreahi, that lobked os
if it might bo a dozen feel deepi but which in reali
ty was hardly more than os many inches. Crossing

and sul down quietly to- watgh for the old “Tan

“ Jogging along, at length, up camfl tiio old-fellows
Ho looked first at llio youngsters who wore gravely
drawing on their boots and cants, as if they had just
had a swim—and then ho looked at (ho broad crook
that rolled bolbte him like a fluent translucent star.
The Col. was awfully puzzled.
“Is this creek swirpiping 7” ho growled, after d
pause of some moments.
No reply was made—the young men simply mount*
cd their, horses and rode off some little distance, and
stopped to wslch our hero.
Tito Col. slowly divested himself of bools, coats,
pantaloons and drawers. These hb. neatly tied (ipln

saddle. Then ho fom bunted, and as he was a'lai,
short, man, with * punch of inordinate size, rather
inadequate tegs, a faco like a wintered apple, and a
brown wig, there ia no doubt ho made nn interesting
picture as be bealrodo his steed, with the " breeze
holding gentle dalliance ” with the, eztrcmotics of
his only garment,.
“ Slowly and cautiously did the old gentleman and
his horse take the creek, iln'lt’ a length,, and the
water was not fetlock deep. Here (ho parse stop
pcd.to drink. A length and half—and the stream no
deeper.! Thirty feel further, and a decided shoaU

channel between this and the bank. See how, the
water runs! ..We will dash through.”
u A sharp lash made the horse spring the watery
waste, and another carried the horse and ndor safely
(o (ho opposite bank. The creek was nowhere more
than a foot deep.
“A wild yclf from the young *una announced
.(heir appreciation of the. sport, us they galloped
away.
"I’ll catch you, you rascals,” was groaned
between Col. p.'s teeth i and away he galloped In
hot pursuit, muttering vengeance .on Jiis foes.
" On—bn—they sped, pursuer and pursued. The
youngsters laughed, yelled and - screamed—the Co),

On—on—and the the farmhouse

geeso from the fence corner which, as the Col. dash*
cd op, - met him with outspread wings, elongated
necks, and hisses dire. His horse swerved suddenly,
and the Colonel in a moment, was upon the ground,
In a most romtinlio “heap*” with his brown wig
by his side, and his bundle of clothes' scattered

| presumed to be. tolerably straight, ami os it was not
known, to contain any rapids, and error in the cal
culation of the difference of level bblween the two
lakbs was more than suspected. This problem it
wus-lcft for Liouli Lynch to sot at rest. In the first
place, the river ia full of ropids.' The bonis plunged
down . less than twenty.seven very threatening
ones,‘besides a great.nt//nbcr -(jf lesser magnitude,
and then, although (ho direct distance dues, hs stat
ed, not exceed sixty miles, the course of the river is
made at least two hundred miles by the exceedingly
tortuous course of its stream. This reduces the fall
to nol more than six feet in, the mile, for which the
numerous ropidsUn the river sufficiently account.
. “The descent by the river occupied no less than
a week. So gfcpl were the difficulties caused by the
rapjds Ibnl in twfa days not.more than twelve miles
were becomptishbd; and on the third day llio wooden
