Evening Post. The Husband’s Summer-Complaint, BY PIERRE VIVAN'T. My wife started off for a month in the country, On the 2d of June—if I rightly remember — Well, the third week, believe me, she had the effront- ery To write, that she souldn’t be back till November When this letter arrived, X was almost inclined to Advertise her as having unjustly “forsaken My bed and my board” —and I had half a mind to Add, also, “No more of her bills will be taken.” She left all the children for ine to take care of, Excepting the baby, and Moll, the next older : vln the meanwhile, of course, all the wear and tear of \ The housekeeping naturally fell on my shoulder. Considerate woman! she left us the cook, too, (A perfect “soyer” in the art gastronomic,) TboHoss of whose head, when I asked her to look to The children, was most irresistibly comic. I tried to induce her to take all the others ; My efforts, however, proved quite unavailing; “For children, when travelling,she said, “are such bothers, “Forever complaining and fretting and ailing.” I wißh you had seen all the baggage she carried ; She could’nt have needed oue-third of the dresses, if, by chance, she had been a belle recently married. And was making the tour of the watering-places. She had her four trunks packed as full as they may Two hand-bags, three boxes containing her bon nets, A wagon for Moll and a crib for the baby, A chest full of magazines, novels an&vgonnets. Besides these were roticule3 almost unnumbered, .Three sots of musquito bars, two Spanish poodles, A cage of canaries the carriage encumbered, Aud othor traps worthy of poor Mrs. 'foodies. Coming home one hot evening, my blood fairly hiss ing, Tom came to the door, Lizzy crying behind him That Willy,.our four-year-old youngster, was mis sing, And- since dinner they hadn’t been able to find him. We searched up and down stairs from garret to base ment. And tbo cistern no cluo to the mystery lent us; We looked up the chimneys, and out of each case ment, But Willy, the lbst ono, was “11011 cst inventus.'’ For a station-house then I immediately started, And telegraphed thence to all parts of the city ; No such child had been seen, and I went backdown hearted, Andjfelt that of all men / most deserved pity. X scolded the cook for not watching him closer — “Arrah, euro, it’s not me that takes care of tho childther. Ye’ll plase pay me wages, bedad, an’ X’ll go sir— - This minit i'll lavo ycr houso.”—X could have killed her. Well, catching at straws, I looked down tho area, Then X went round the house, into each corner peeping, X glanced at the top of tho meat-safe, and there he Was stretched at full length, and composedly sleeping. That glance was sufficient to quiet my fidget, " And feeling repentant (for reasons ostensible.) I rußhed to the kitchon and pacified Bridget By saying, “a nursemaid is quite indispensable.’ Accordingly next day a “bonne” X selected _ Who swears she is French ; though X frequently fancy Xn her accents a brogue may at times be detected • That savors of Celtic far more than of “Francais.” She is given to souinombulistic proclivities, I’m told by the cook, who has frequently seen her Engaged in some very peculiar festivities At midnight, in costumc'not quito “a I’Amina.” I was awakened one night not long since by the screaming Of Tom, who declared there were ghosts in the en •try— It proved to be Norah, who, sleeping and dreaming, Was wandering about like somo grim spectrai sentry. rgave her a “douche’ ’ with n pitcher of water, Which had the effect to revivify Ma’mselle.; Sho was shocked that in such a queer plight we had caught her, But we bad no more night promenades by the damsel. * Shortly after the incidents 1 havo related, Some out of town business required my attention, ADd an absence so brief I bad anticipated, That for matters at home I felt no apprehension. I, went, saw and conquered—my journey was ended — I reached homo and found tho house brilliantly lighted; To take observations the steps I ascended, The parlor was full, and of course I felt slighted. Miss Bridget, arrayed in a robe of white muslin, With flowers in her hair and much grace was pxe siding; < While Nonih in flounces, to count which was puz zling, With Bridget tho honors was fairly dividing. For the most part tho guests were of Celtic extrac tion, And I noticed some few quite “distingue’’ were present, Who expressed to the hostess entire satisfaction, Declaring no party was ever so pleasant. Miss Donovon —chambermaid once at the “Astor,” Was the bollo of the evening, and waltzed with young Dennis, A “Clarendon” coachman, who whirled her round faster Than ever Tod Murphy or Mickey McGinnis. The mayor’s ex-cook, “nee” Bridget O’Brien, Graced tho ball as a bride, with her groom, one Pat Horner, Who is also a hostler and groom for Tim Ryan, Whose livery-stable is just round tho corner. Tborewas also the laundress—the widow McManus, To whom Jemmy Doolan is paying attention — And Mary McCarty, the bolle of Gowanus, And a great many others too numerous to mention. Through a crook in the dining-room blinds I was able To see that Miss Bridget had made preparation For “feeding” tho guests —forthe large dining-tablo Was heaped with provisions enough for a nation. Our china, of course, was in great requisition : Our best silver fruit-stands were prominent fea * tures; The wine-cooler, too, had a striking position, And wos r doubtless, in frequent demand with tho creatures. Sometime after midnight the revellers wended Their various ways, as occasion required ; • The curtain descended, tbc comedy ended, Tho.gas was turned off and the ladies retired. T went to a friend’s for tho night—and next morn ing Repaired to tho scene of the late dissipation ! 'To both the young ladies I gave a week's warning, With tho privilege of a continued vacation. ‘ Tho scene of confusion my dwelling presented By daylight, some men would have thought past all bearing; I swallowed my anger, and then complimented Myself that I wasn’t addicted to swearing. The dining-room carpet was utterly ruined— The drawing-room furniture, scratched, bruised and battered ; The piano had suffered some injuries too, and The mirror between the front windows was shat , tcred. An ormolu clock they had damaged the face of, And had knocked off tho heads from a group of “tho Graces.” ‘Which latter I’ve never discovered a trace of — And they smashed irreparably two antique vases. But I need not enumerate more of tho losses Attending this most entertaining performance— Nor speak of my subsequent trials and crosses, Surpassing by far any bachelor’s torments. Suffice it to say, with tho cook’s inebriety— A flood in the bath room—a fire in tho garret— A burglary, too, just by way of variety— At length I determined no longer to bear it. I wrote to my wife, and politely requested Her instant return by the earliest conveyance; “ Or refusing to do this,” X mildly suggested, “She might find her claims as my wife—in abey ance.” » Tho next day but oneit affordod me pleasure To welcome tho lady “in propria persona” — .She rushed to my arms like a dear “little treasuro/’-- And begged me with tears that I wouldn’t disown her. I kissed from her eyelids the tear-drops that glis tened, The clouds that hung over, now passed away from her, S. told her my troubles, she laughed while she lis tened, And I said she might go to the country next sum mer. The Quaker’s Corn-Crib* A man had been in the habit of stealing corn from his neighbor, who was a Quaker. Every night he would, go softly to the crib and fill his bag with the ears which the good Quaker’s toil had placed there.— Every morning the old gentleman - observed a diminution of hi? corn pile. This was very annoying, and must be stopped— how ! Many a one would have said, “Take' a gun, conceal yourself, wait till he comes, and fire.” Others would have said, “Catch the villain, and have him sent to jail.” But the Quaker was not prepared to en ter into any such severe measures. He wanted to punisb'tbe offender, and at the same time bring about his reformation, if possiblg. So he fixed a sort of a trap, close to tbe hole through which the man would thrust his arm in getting the corn. The wicked neighbor proceeded on his unholy errand at the hour of midnight with bag iu band. Unsuspectingly, he thrust j his hand into the crib to seize an ear, when | lo ! he found himself unable to withdraw ; it! In vain he tugged, and pulled, and i sweated, and alternately cried and cursed. I His hand was fast, and every effort to re- j lease it only made » it the more secure.— After a time the tumult iu his breast meas urably subsided. He gavo over his useless struggles and began to look around him. Ad was silence and repose. Good men were sleeping soundly in their comfortable beds, while he was compelled to keep a dreary, disgraceful watch through the re mainder of that long and tedious night, his hand in constant pain from the pressure of the clamp which held it. His tired limbs, compelled to sustain his weary body, I would fain have sunk beneath him, and his I heavy eyes would have closed in slumber, | but no ! there no rest, no sleep -for | him. There he must stand and watch the j progress of the night, aud at once desire ; aud dread the return of morning. Morn ing came at last, and the Quaker looked out of the window and found he had “caught his man.” What was to be done ? Some would say, “Go out aud give him a good cowhid ing just as he stands, and then release him; that’ll cure him but not so said the Quaker. a course would have sent the man away embittered and muttering i curses of revenge. The good old man hurried on his clothes, and started at once to the relief and punishment of his prisoner, “ Good morning, friend !” said he, as he came in speaking distance. “ llow j does thee do ?” The poor culprit made no answer, but burst into tears. “Oh, fie?” said the Quaker, as he pro ceeded to release him. “i am sorry that thee has got thy hand fast. Thee put it in the wrong place, or it would not have been so.” The man looked crestfallen, and begging forgiveness, hastily turned to make his retreat. “ Stay,” said his persecutor, for he was now becoming such to the offender, who could have received a blow with much better grace than the kind words that were falling from the Quaker’s lips. “ Stay, friend, thy bag is not filled. Thee needs corn or thee would not have taken so much pains to get it. (Jofue lctms fill it,” and the poor fellow was obliged 1 to stand and hold the bag while the old man .filled it, interspersing the ceremony with the pleas antest conversation imaginable—all of which were like daggers in the heart of the chagrined and mortified victim. The bag was filled, o the string tied, and the suf ferer hoped soon to be out of the presence of his tormentor, but again his purpose was thwarted. “ Stay,” said the Quaker, as the man was about to hurry off, having muttered once more his apologies and thanks. “Stay, Ruth has breakfast .ere this ; thee must not think of going without breakfast; come, Ruth is calling.” This was almost unendurable! This was “ heaping coals ” with a vengeance! In vain the mortified neighbor begged to be excused. In vain he plead to be re- leased from what would be to him a pun ishment ten times more severe than stripes and imprisonment. The Quaker was inex orable; and he was obliged to yield. . Breakfast over, “Now,” said the old farmer, as he helped the victim to shoulder the bag “ if thee need any more corn, come in the day time and thee shall have it.” With what shame and remorse, did that guilty man turn from the dwelling of the pious Quaker 1 Everybody is ready to say that he never again troubled the Qua ker’s corn-crib. 1, have something still better than that to tell you. He at once relented and reformed, and iny informant tells me that he afterwardjheard him relate, in an experience meeting, the substance of the story I have related, and he attributed his conversion, under God’s blessing, to the course the Quaker had pursued, to ar rest'him in his downward course. The Manners of the Mother Mould the Child. There is no disputing this fact, it shines in the face of every little child. The coarse, brawling, scolding woman will have vicious, brawling, fighting children. She who cries on every occasion, “ 111 box your ears— I’ll slap your jaws—l’ll breaA your neck,” is known as thoroughly through the child ren as if her unwomanly manners were openly displayed in the public streets. These remarks were suggested by a con versation in an omnibus—that noble in stitution for the student of men and man ners—between a friend and schoolmaster. Our teacher was caustic, mirthful, and sharp. His wit flashed like the polished edge of a diamond, and kept the “ buss in a roar.” The entire community of insiders • —and whoever is intimate with those con veyances can form a pretty good’ idea of our numbers—inclusive of the “ one more” so well known to the fraternity, their heads, eyes and ears one way, and finally ..our I teacher said : I can always tell tho mother by the boy. The urchin who draws back with double fists and lunges at his playmate if he looks at him askance, has a very questionable mother. She may feed him and clothe him, cram him with sweetmeats, and coax him him with promises; but if she gets mad, she fights. She will pull him by the jacket, she will give him a knock on the back, she will drag him by the hair, she will call him all sorts of wicked names, while pas sion plays over her face in lambent flames that curl and writhe out of the corners of her eyes. And we never see the courteous little fellow with smooth looks and gentle man ners, in whom delicacy does not detract from courage and manliness, but we say “ that boy : s mother is a true lady. Her “ THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD. ?J —BUCHANAN. LANCASTER CITY. PA., TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20, 1857. words and ways are soft, loving, and quiet. If she reproves, her language is, ‘ my son’ —not ‘ yon little wretch—plague of my life —you torment—you scamp.’ ” She hovers before him as a pillar of light before the wandering Israelites, and her beams are reflected in his faoe. To him the word mother is synonymous with every thing pure, sweet, and beautiful. Is he an artist 1 In after life, the face that with holy radiance shines on his canvas will be the mother’s face. Whoever flits across his path with sunny smiles, and soft, low voice, will bring his mother’s image freely to his breast. She is like my mother, will be the highest meed of his praise. Not even when the hair turns silver and the. eyes grow dim, will the majesty of that life and presence desert him. But the ruffian mother—alas ! that there are such !—will form the character of the man. He, iu turn, will become a merciless tyrant, with a tongue sharper than a,two edged sword, and remembering the brawl ing and the cuffing, seek some meek, gen ' tie victim, for the sacrifice, and make, her his wife, with the condition that he shall be master. And master he is, for a few short years, when he wears' the widower’s weed till he finds a victim “ number two.” We wonder not there are so many awk ward, ungainly men in society—they have been trained by women who do not eare for the holy nature of their trust. They have been made bitter to the heart’s core, and that bitterness will find vent amt lodgement somewhere. Strike the infant in anger, and he will, if he cannot reach you, vent Ms passion by beating the floor, the chair, or any inani mate thing within reach. Strike him re peatedly, and by the time he wears shoes he will become a little bully, with hands that double to fight as naturally as if espe cial pains had been taken to teach him the art of boxing. Almost Home. Almost home I ‘ and the face of the speaker glowed with pleasure, as he thought of the friends who were there to receive him. A few short months before he had left liis home to enter a distant college.— Vacation had come, and now he was hurry ing on to his native village, to meet the warm embrace, the heaj-tfelt. welcome, of the loved ones at home. Joy go with thee; young man, pleasant is thy home to thee, may love’s sunshine ever gild brightly as now thy childhood’s home! Almost home! and the widowed one buried her face in her hands, and wept bit ter, scalding tears, as the little cottage, half buried beueath the tall maples, ap peared in view, where, iu her maidenhood, she had passed so many pleasant hours.— Memory pictured the scenes of the past, and as its pictures rose one by one before her, thicker fell her tears, as she thought of one whose presence had those scenes radiant with joy. Scarcely a year ago, a happy bride, she left her father’s home to dwell with one whom she loved with all a woman’s devotion. Friends gathered round to congratulate her on her happiness, but ere their congratulations were over sorrow had taken the place of joy. The idolized husband was suddenly called from earth to that unseen country from whose, bourne no traveler ever re turns. Bowed down with the weight of her sorrows, she refused to leave the place hallowed by so maDy tender associations, but sought in solitude the comfort she so much needed. Then came intelligence of her mother’s sickness—how day after day she was pining away, longiDg for tho sooth ing care, the loving tones, of her first born, her only daughter. Duty bade her leave the place where no ties bound her save those of recollection, and hasten to her childhood home to minister to the. wants of an invalid mother. And now she was almost there. Home! she felt that it would never again be home to her, and bitterly she wept, for her heart was far away. Frail, mourning one, hast thou not learned that this is not our rest; that here we have no abiding city, but our home is above’ Lay up thy treasure there, and seek not in earth’s troubled waters that which floweth only from the purer springs of life eternal. Almost home! so are we all—yet whither our footsteps bending! Are we with earnest hearts and active zeal pres sing onward in the narrow road that leadeth unto life t or are we going downward in the broad road wbioh leadeth to destruction and darkness of despair! To-day it is ours to decide where our home shall be ; whether with the ransomed ones of earth at God’s right hand, or to be banished for ever from His presence to dwell with the fiends of darkness. —Yew York Indepen dent. The Poor Boy.—Don’t be ashamed, my good lad, if you have a patch on your elbow. It is no mark of disgrace. It speaks well for your industrious mother.— For our part, we would rather see a dozen patches on your jacket than hear one pro fane or vulgar word escape from your lips, or smell the fumes of tobacco in your breath. No good boy will slur you be cause you cannot dress as well as your companions ; and if a bad boy sometimes laughs at your appearance, say nothing, my good lad, but walk on. We know many a rich and good man who was once as poor as you. Fear God, my boy, and if you are poor, but honest, you will be re spected—a great deal more than if you were the son of a rich man, and were ad dicted to bad habits. Hrar Him !

The enlarged scale of the work will admit of the great advantage of clearly designating every public and private improvement, and attaching the name thereto: also, of ascertaining with more piecision, any re quired distance throughout the county. Every public Road and Stream. Mill, Mill Race and Mill Dam, Store, Hotel, Tost Office. Place of Worship, School House, Smith Shop. Ac., Ac., will be acurately shown thereon. The Dwellings also, with the-names of owners attached, will be inserted in the proper position. An enlarged City Plan, and Plans of the principal Villages, will ha nserted in the margin. A Table, showing the correct dis tance from each place of importance to that of every other in the county, will be upon th*» Map: alpn, a Statistical Table, and views of the principal County Buildings. W ithout a re-survey oi the whole county, an accurate map of it cannot be published; we have already made sur veys of a a number of the Townships, and many of the in habitants of the county are aware of the time and pains we have taken to perfect them. We will be equally assiduous in our endeavors to make this a reliable and valuable work, and hope to merit a share of public patronage.
