IDE CEERHT TEEB.
To Spring the good God spake, and said
« Go, tor the worm a table spread
And soon the cherry tree Is seen,
Covered with leaflets fresh and green.
IFUbin hfs shell the worm awakes,
And quick Ids winter house forsakes,
iSfrotchca himself, and yawns and tries,
To open wide his sleepy eyes.
And'fheroupon, without a pause,
Upon tbo nearest loaf ho gnaws,
Ami says, “ J Tia hard to get away,
So tender are the loaves to-day,"
And yot again the good'God said;
** Now for tho bees a table spread*”
At onco tho cherry tree Is light
With myriad blossoms pure and While.
A little boo tho banqtiol spies
At early morn, and thither flies,
Thinking “X now my thirst can slake,
And hero my fragrant coflbo lake.”
Oat of those cups so clean and nlcoi
.Then puts Ids tongue In, in a trice,
And sips and says, « How very sweet I
Plenty of sugar hero I meet.”
To Summer next, tho good God-said,
“ Gp, for tho birds a tablo spread,”
And now tho chprry tree doth glow
With ruddy fruit—a tempting show.
A sparrow lights upon tho bough
And says,«lMl eat my All here now,
’Twill make mo vigorous of wing
And give mo strength of voice to sing.”
TheU to tho Antunm, God did say,
“ They’ve bad enough j clear nil.away.
And chilling,winds tho branches tost,
And toll tho sharp and bitter frost;
•j I Tho leaves were changed to gold and red.
Then fluttered downward, withcrod r dcod,-
Till spoilt of allits foliage fair.
The cherry tree stood lone ana bare.
To winter then, the good God said,
« O’er what is left a covering spread.”
Softly and fast tho snow flakes tall,
And quietly settles over all.

MV PRETTV COUSIN J
A COQUETTE CAUGHT IN HER OWN SHARE.
My pretty cousin is not like other cousins.—
She is the queen of cousins, being at once the
most agreeable, cruel and unpardonable of all:
tho prettiest and most dangerous; liveliest and
TtfOst witty ; and is, besides, such a conceited
lilt.o prude as never lived before, whose fanci
ful mischief-Joving disposition has Intimidated
and subdued the country beaux for many miles
around. She is moreover, a capricious tyrant,
wilful and obstinate, and sways tho ceplrc of
her power with mi unsparing hand. Ilcr ad
mirers, slaves I would say—though their ribs
have ached and smarted with the thumps of
more than one of Cupid's shafts through their
hearts, bristling with his barbed arrows, pierc
ed and riddled In every direction, still flutter
round tho light that scortchca them, enchanted
by eyes that melt with gazing and fire you
with their Are.
See, how fond the saucy elf Is of teasing,with
finch mellow lips, that hung like golden fruit,
to bo plucked by, Die first bold hand; pouting
to you temptingly ; wooing, inviting, and when
you would haste to press them to your own,
they arrest you with such an oflcndcu delicacy
that, you daro go po farther, least tho Puritan
box your ears. “ m *
ATIcuUHiM oro hot so. While they ban* their
.heads In delicious confaslon, and sunepono* fa
do what ho will with their lips, aho will Ikuuk
Bing at yo»r whiskers, or what is more to Bo
dreaded, will, with one fell swoop, smash tho
spotless, unwrinklcd bosom, that ia bo snugly
arrayed behind the vest that gives it protection.
•None of that devoted train yet had sufficient
■audacity to steal a kiss. Poor souls 1 Was it
that they feared they might disarrange tho hair
that they had spent so much time in brushing
and torturing into sleekness ? Or were they
-content to plod along in tho same every day
■.employment of sighing for paradise, and tho’
;they gazed on it through their eyes, dared not
reach forth a hand and enter with a seal upon

siolc shape. Ho remained firm; bnconqumd,
nor did any subsequent movement dislodge hint
irom his situation. His deportment r was al
woys the same; and not oil her skill at man’s
subj'oction'oould draw' from him more than that
familiar, gentlemanly carriage; which acquaint
ed her with the freedom of his heart and (ho
failure of his plana.- She was piqued., What
a cold senseless thing this cousin Is !• Pshaw !
I won’t trouble myself, more with Ihe'ill-man
nered bear. lie isn’t worth the pains one takes
to make him like people.,
She, however, did. not adhere to this wise
conclusion? The next, day another -attack, a
general assault .was directed against the citadel,
and she endeavored to carry all before her by
storm * but ho, tbat'had so long been impreg
nable to so many city warfares, led on too by
the brightest eyes that flashed in our land, was
the same cousin Harry Hosmer from the city.
And the only foil he used, and that which ho
played with surprising advantage, was the
name of another city cousin, a defence that sur
prised, while it Was a OoUnlcr attack that dis
concerted her.
My pretty’ cousin had failed. In her endea
vors to subdue the heart of her cousin she had
forgot to guard her own, nor did she know that
U was already in the possession of another
She was cross. She could hardly bcar.tha tho
should bo in her presence, and was unhappy
when he was out of sight. If he was pleasant
«r laughed, ho was ridiculing her unhappiness
and rejoicing over her discomfiture. If he was
sad>and sober, bo was thinking of tho baled ■
cousin he left behind in (ho city.
“My dear cousin, you cannot imagine with
what feelings of pleasure I shall present your
beautiful cousin to you- She is such a divine
creature,” exclaimed he, one day after dwelling
unusually long upon her beauty and learning.
“She is perfection !”
Clara pouted and picked the leaves of a rose
ho had Just plucked for her, and crushed them
with her foot.
. “Yon will bo delighted to see her, she is so
kind and gentle. It will bo impossible to be
near her and not like hot. ”
“And do you llko her, cousin llarry?”Ask
cd she m a low, hesitating voice, ns if afraid to
ask wliat rhight be unpleasant to her,
“Like her !—wo lovo her—everybody docs.**
The rose was suddenly dashed on the floor,
her indignant foot stamped upon it, and she a
roso ano hastily walked to the window.
I “Whycoz, what nils thee?’* said Harry,
I without rising, as he swung a chair carelessly
round on one leg. while bo commenced whist
ling a lively air.
She was leaning against the side of the win
dow with her forehead pressed against the glass.
She did not answer. Nothing is more galling
to a woman, than to hear tho praise of a rival
from the lips pf one sho hives. Clara was pi
qued { sho was offended, angry. She could
hardly bear her feelings for she pictured her
happy cousin basking in tho sunshine of his
love, and then sho thought dl* herself, neglected
and unloved, and her breast heaved with feel
ings she ill could bear. ‘
‘•ls my cousin unwell ?”
She Is silent- . •

The day after, he departed for New Tork.-V
His horse was at the door, his foot was.in the
stirrup, and be had thrice bid good bye to Jus
friends, but he lingered, for there ought to be
another among them. He scanned their faces,
ho watched every window ; she was not there.
Once more ho look leave, and slopped again to
see if Clara was there. He turned, disappoint*
cd, and laid hfa hand on the saddle. A hand
touched his shoulders, and a low voice whis*
pored, ‘‘Cousin Harry, good byo 1”.
Ho turncdxind met the gaee of Clara. She
was pale. Sho held her hand to him, and he
drew her to Mm. and pressed his lips to hers
There was perhaps too much warmth in that
kiss, that mingled its fire with the pallor of
her chock. Or, was it that his hand held hers
too closely locked ?
. “Good bye, my sweet cousin," said he,gaily
ns hC'Vnultcd into the saddle. Remember my
promise of coming again this fall with your
cousin Julia, whom I intend you shall bo so
delighted with that you will not care to part
with her. And T give you warning, take care
least you aro taken by surprise 5 she carries nil
before her."
"I will not promise to like her , Harry," said
she.
Wo will not say what- image was ever present
to her mind until hq, returned, because Ine rca
dcr already knows. Neither do wolikoto
speculate upon tho Blato of Harry's heart.* Wo
don’t know much about this city cousin yet,
farther than It appears that Ire is very fond of
talking about Her, and that is not proof posi
tive that ho is in Ibt*o With her. People*do not
talk most of those they love. My pretty cous*
in’s beauty certainly nod struck him at first;
ho was pleased with her lively humor and wit ';
lie' felt tho Influence of her eyes; but he was
determined to curb that proud spirit’that mar
red all her belter qualities, and oxtcrWldStchbr
pretty passion for coqucUy.
Sho.had failed at onco in her long career of
warring against hearts. It was a signal defeat.
Was it her fault-?' Was sho growing old! Tho
thought paled hep check. She flew to tho gloss.

as a rival, it was impossible to approach her

and her engaging manners secured the attention

Robinson Crusoe a Cnnnl Captain.
A somewhat novel craft enmo down tho ca
nal, on Saturday aficrnoon, and lied-up nt tho
dock. It was a scow-built boat, about 15 fret
long and 3 feet wide; but tho novelty consisted
in the peculiar motive power,' it being towed by
dogs. The boat was accompanied by but one
man, a cripple from infancy, having no use of
his limbs below his *knccs. He manages !fo
hobhlo about slowly, by walking upon his
knees, upon which he wore 'something similar
lo shoes. .He is from Chicago, and says ho Is
going to New York for medical treatment. His
dogs, of which he has six largo and powerful
annuals, are iriqncd to perfection, nna under
stand and obey his command as well as a hu
man being could. They low his boat nt tho
rate of 4 miles per hour; he from tho boat giv
ing tho directions. When they meet.a boat
they lay down close, ond let' tho tow lino pass
over them, and thus take tho inside. Ho has a
wagon on board' journeys. Ills
boat, an open ono, by a canvass covering, sup
ported on posts,- is converted into a saloon,
whioh'boand his dogs, together with a fame
raccoon, use for parlor, dining room and. bed
room, altogether, on terms of equality and good
will. He carries four loaded pistols to protect
his dogs from attack. After procuring a stock
of provisions for himself ami companions, he
anchored his boat a little way from.tho shore,
and attracted the attention and excited tho cu
riosity of passers by, whft crowded around to
solvo the mystery. This Jioppy family, re

larsi It had stood ft.long Umo, and with tho
interest amounted! to between seven and eight
hundred dollars. ‘My brother went to his disk,
and after examining the forgiven list attentively,
a snddon smile Ift'on his countenance, and told
mo tho truth at a single glance; Tho old mart's
name was there I My brother quickly took a
chair hy Ids' sldo, and conversation ensued be
tween them which I never shall forget.
*< Tour note Is outlawed,” said ho. «It was
dated twelve years ago, payable In two years j
there is no witness, and interest has ntjvof been
paid. - You are not bound to pay this note jwo
can never recover this amount.”
‘<Slr,” said the old man, «I wish to pay It.
II is llio only debt 1 have in tho world. It may
bo outlawed boro, but! have no child, and my
old woman andll hopo wo-Iravomado our poaco

“1 cannot take Iho money,” was tbo reply of
my brother, . ,
Tbo old man become alarmed; "I bare cast
simple Interest for twelve years, and counted it
oil over,” said ho. " I will pay you compound
Interest, If'you require It. Tho debt ought to
have been pald.long ago; but your father was
very Indulgent—ho know I'd been unlucky, and
told mo not to worry about It.”
My brother then properly set tho matter be
fore him, and taking tho bank bills ho returned
thorn to tbo old man's pocket-book, telling him
that although our father left no formal will, ho
had recommended tb his children to destroy
certain notes, dnorbllls, and other evidences of
dobt, and release flioso who might bo legally
bound to pay them.
tfor a tnohient tho old man appeared to bo
stupefied. After ho had collected himself, and
wiping tho tears from his eyes,- bo said, »• Prom

Simplicity in English-Dress.
In tho families of many of tho nobility and

which of itself would be no ample fortune,there
is greater economy of dress and more simplicity
in tho furnishing of the dweUihgs. than there is
in trt&liy of the nDhsts rtf obi*' citizens, Who' are
hardly able to supply thedally Wauls of their
families by tjic closest attention to their, bush

since, several .month’s in Oic vicinity of some of
the. wealthy, landed aristocracy of England,
whose ample rent-rolls wodld have warranted a
high style of fashion, was surprised at the sim

Excessive-labor exposure to wot and-cold,
deprivation of sufficient quantities of necessary
and wholesome food, habitual bad lodging, elolti
and temperance, arc all deadly enemies to' hu
man life; but none of them are so bad as vio
lent and ungovernod passions. Men and , wo
men have survived all these, and at last reached
an extreme old age ; but it may be safely doubt- ;
ed whether h single instance can be found of a
man of violent and rascible temper, habitually
subject to storttis of ungovernable passion, who
has arrived at h very advanced period of life.—
It Is, therefore, a matter of the highest Itnpor*
lance to every one desirous to preserve.' 'a Bound
