higher. When we see tho prices which
first quality goods sell Tor it is really w on
dcrM, that any person should ever think
or raising inferior fabrics. At tho Into fair,
wo saw a pair of small Suffolk pigs four
months old, sell for $250. This is as
much as a score of ordinary hogs would
come to, and yet tho cxnenso of feeding a
Suffolk hog, is no greater than is required
to give development to iho "racer breed of
Ohio." At the samo fair, we saw calves
i sell for $100, and chickeus for S12 npair.

THE DEVIL.
Start not, most timid reader, at tho
name of this thino old acquaintance; for
why shoulds't thou bo frightened nt tho
nomo of so famillinrand popular a char
actor? Thou has known him from thy
youth up u good looking nnd courteous
personage, who could tell thee, of many
a forgotlon reminiscence of thee ond thino
nnd who is, withal, ono or tho blandest
and most afluble creutures in tho world.
He moves in the best society, is rigidlv
scrupulous of liis outward appearance, and
prides himself no little on his knowledgo
of the human heart. Polite to a fault, with
a voice of tho richest tone, and an eye of
tho brightest glance; bewitching by his
smile, nnd entrancing by his eloquence ;
with a mind laden with knowledgo and
overflowing with light, ho has ever been
ono of tho most popular and influential
characters of tho day. Full often has ho
taken thee by iho hund, and led theo into
green pastures, and by thesido or still wa
ters, w hilst ihou, poor deluded soul, imag
ined thyself in the society of one of 'Hea
ven's elect."
And yet thou tremblest at tho mention
of hisnamo and the very idea of contact
wiih him blanches thy warm cheek, and
fills thee with terror. Mistaken soul !
on iho pages or the primer, and on tho
tublet of thy mind, this gentlemanly and
accomplished Devil is paiuled, perhaps, as
a poor flcshless body, gaunt and grim,

1. He comes in the gilded habiliments
of pleasure. Wilh smiling face ond light
some step he trips along, followed by a
gay and thoughtless host, who sing nnd
dance along '.ho road to ruin, unconscious
of their danger, and careful only of imme
diate and palpable enjoyment.

ness obliges him to bid them a polite and

meet them on tho other sido of the grave I
2. Ho comes in tho flowing disUalille
cftho Idler. Willi a jaunty air, a mind at
peace wiih all the world, an enviablo in-dlfil-rence
to oil tho storms and calms of
life, an unwrinkled brow and a spotless
hand he allures many sons and daugh
ters of industry from their toil and soon
teaches them to look upon work as a bur
den, and industry as a disgrace. Cunning
and crafty, art thou, iuJced, oh Devil,
with thy oily tongue nnd bland address,
and thou dost truly erect the busiest work'
shop in tho brain of tho idlo man.
3. Tho devil comes also in the "sober
black" of hypocrisy. Gentlemanly, in
deed, is he in this favorite characlor. In
cowl and gown, with smooth face and
smoother upecch, ho walks cautiously be
fore tho people, and gathers into his dark
fold many a wandering shsep. bympa
thizing with all sorrow, subduing all pas
sion, regular in attendance upon Church,
loudest in exhortation and longest in pray
er, he 6oon wins upon iho heart of tho
credulous, . nnd ingratiates him into his
black art. The name of his followers is
legion. Il needs nut, oh reader, that we
describe them to thee ; for thou knowest
them too well alicndy. Neither is it no
cessary that we shoold show up the loo
fascinating Devil in any other suit from
his many colored wardrobe.
In conclusion,' sec to i!, oh ya people,
that ye look not for his majesty as a horn
ed and bloated monster, but rather a
blooming and accomplished courtesan. .
Not in rags, not in deformity, but in pur
pie and fine linen, works ho about all thy
paths, mid lurks ho about ail thy hearts.
