It’s me that can tell; For, ould as I’m now, I am minding it well, When a spalpeen of three, with how much delight My mither kissed Kory and bade him good night. But my mither she died and left Kory behind, And the lasses I met brought her so to my mind. That at kissing I went, first one and anither, Because they wore bonnets and looked like my mither. At last, would you think it. swate Bridget O’Flinn Had scarcely boon kissed when she kissed me agin, And tould me a praest, away down iu the city, Would say, if we’d ask him, a bit of a ditty. “A ditty, swate Bridget, and what might it be?” “Ne’er mind, my dear Kory, butcom'e justwid me !” We trudged to (he city, and sure as my life, He said a short ditty and called her me wife. We got a wee cottage, a pig and a spade ; Bridget sickened ; we hired her sister for maid ; The muid I was kissing, when, true as ye’r there, I felt the ould divil a pulling my hair. “Begone, ye ould varmint 1” I yelled in aifrigbt, And sort o’ turned round to be getting a sight; What did I diskiver? Instead of an elf, Swate Bridget O'Flarherty there jist herself. “0 Kory !” she blubbered, still pulling away, “But sick is my heart wid yer conduct to-day; A kissing my sister while I’m in my bed, Nor able to raise from tho pillow my head !” “Troth! my Bridget,” says I, “perhaps ye can mind When ye to tho kissing were greatly inclined. Ye kissed mo and kissed me at Donnybrook Fair, And now by the jabers ye’re pulling my hair. Begone! ye ould fool, wid a rumpus like this, I’m only a laming yer sister to kiss /” A SCENE IN A JURY ROOM. A THRILLING STORY. I once had the extreme felicity of leav ing my business to serve upon “the Jury .” I plead in all manner of ways for release, but to do effect. I could not swear that I was deaf, nor blind nor yet non compos : but did tell them 1 had already formed an opinion. They asked me if my opinion would pre vent me from receiving the testimony ins good faith, and rendering a verdict accord ing to it. I replied that of course I should weigh the evidence carefully and be gov erned by it. I was then informed that I ‘would do.’ The case to be tried waa one of arson— then a capital offence—and the prisoner at the bar was a young man, named Charles Ambold, whom I had known from boyhood, and who was naturally one of the town where he resided. He had a widowed mother who depended upon him for sup port ; and his circle of friends was large and choice. I was morally certain that he did not commit the crime ; and hence, I am sure, those who were friendly to him got me on the panel, and had me restrained. The trial oommenced and we twelve men took our seats in the jury box. I had a very respectable set with me—only there was one man whom I didn’t like to see there. This was Moulton Warren. He was a dark faced sinister looking fellow— at least to me. I know that young Am bold had one fault. He had recently been addicted to drink, and had been known to visit disreputable houses. It was one of those houses that had been burned, for set ting fire to which he had been apprehended. Now I had often tried to presuade Charles Ambold from the course he was pursuing. He had repeatedly, promised me that he would reform, and as repeatedly had broken away. I had often talked to him of his poor mother, until he had wept like a child ; but the effect was not lasting. There was a power of temptation more ef fective than any influence I could wield.— He would fall away into this companion ship, and for a while his manhood was gone. One or two abandoned women had gained groat power over him, and upon them he wasted much of his substance. And I knew that this very man who was now upon the jury—this Moulton .Warren —was the one who had done more than all others to lead the poor youth away. It was Warren who had drank with him, and who had led him away to those abomi nable haunts of sin and pollution. Why was he upon the jury ? 1 could only ac count for it upon the ground that Charley still supposed him to be his friend. The poor scorched insect was still ignorant of the flame that scorched him. He readily believed that Moulton Warren was his friend. The trial commenced. The indictment set forth that Charles Ambold had ‘malice aforethought,’ and with all sorts of wicked and felonious intent, set fire to a certain dwelling house, thereby endangering hu man life. This dwelling, as I have already intimated, was a low sink of iniquity, where the abandoned of both sexes were wont to congregate, and where the youth ful prisoner had spent much of his time. The evidence for the prosecution came on, arid I was startled. One after another gave in their testimony, some of them very reluctantly, and I was.frightened when I saw how plainly it alf pointed to the pris oner as the guilty party. Several oredita ble witnesses swore that they had heard him threaten to burn the house down, and others had heard him say repeatedly that he wished it was burned down ! Then came several witnesses—three of the prominent citizens—who saw him lurking about the premises on the night of the fire. With regard to the provocation on the prisoner’s part for such a deed, it was proved upon his own admission that he had been ill-treated there, and he had sworn to have revenge. And furthermore, it was proved that he had.been heard to say that his salvation of soul and body depended upon the destruction of that house. Next came more testimony stronger still. The fire had been set in a back base ment room, where shavings and other stuff for kindling were kept. Entrance had been gained through a back window, which had been partly pried open with a stout knife. This basement wall was of brick, and be neath the sash was found the blade of a knife which had been broken off in trying to raise it, (the sash.) It was recognized as belonging to the prisoner’s knife. ' A maker of cutlery had made a knife to order for Ambold only a month previous, and he knew the blade at once, and swore to it. But this was not all. The fire had been evidently set first to Jthe which lay upon the stone floor, but piled up against 4 wooden partition. This floor was damp, and some of the outer shavings even were notj burned up. But just at tfie edge, where the fire commenced lay a piece of paper, rolled up, and about half burned, and from the manner in which itj lay, it was very evident that the fire had been set with it. | This piece of rolled papier had been ignited by a match, a number cif which were scattered around, and as soon as it was on fire it had been laid upon tpe floor with the | burning end just in the’ shavings. Of course, those shavings were in a blaze instantlyj; but the paper torch being upon the damp stones, had not burned i wholly u p- ! And this paper was found to bqi a part of a letter belonging to the prisoner A letter hel had received from a friend of his (and a friend of mine) only a week before ! That friend had to come forward anji swear that piece of charred paper was a part of a letter hei had written to the prisoner! The friend’s (name was Stephen Grant. He was a young merchant, and the letter had been written for the purpose of inducing Ambold jto reform. Stephen tried ]|iard to avoid testifying, for he knew, as didlpthers, that thelfire must have been set with that identical paper ;he was summoned,! and he could not deny his own ohirography. The case looked dark. Many witnesses were willing to testify to the prisoners good qualities ; but none could swear thaijjhe was dissipated and degraded. That house had been to him indeed a region inferndl. Its destruction cried out his bodily life; and its existence had long been eating away his soul.) Poor Charley ! I had before been sure of his innocence ; but now I could only shake my head and pity him. ji Finally he was allowed to speak for him self. He said he was innocent (of the crime imputed to him. He said he had threatened to burn that house down’—that he had said about all that had been sworn to. And, furthermore, he was around the house on the night of the fire, fie was not ten rods off the house when thel flames burst forth, and was one of the first to give the alarm. He had uttered one cry of fire, when he noticed where the flamesl must have originated, and the thought came to him if he were found there, he might be sus pected of having set the fire so he ran! away. He also said that three nights before the conflagration, he had been robbed in that house. His pockets had been robbed of everything in them, and his pocket book, containing forty dollars in money, and some valuable papers had been taken. —• He had gone there on the night of &e fire to try and persuade them to give him back his money and papers—or at leastjjto get back what he could. When he gotj| there he saw a man go in whom he did not wish to see, so he hung around waiting for him to depart. He was around by the back of the building onee—and that was ah hour before the fire broke out. He knew noth ing—nothing. He clasped his hands, and with his tearless eyes raised towards! heav en, he called on God to witness that he was innocent! !'■ I have told you that I knew hini well. I knew him so well, that from thatn|oment I knew jhim to be innocent. I knew his very soul, I knew how free and open he was—ah, how sinfully so ! I knew;! there was no falsehood in the story he had told us. f “My boy is innocent! My boy iij iuno- I heard the cry—and I saw an old wo man sink into the arms of a male compan ion. It! was his old mother ! Herr heart was well nigh broken ! Yet I sajy that all this had but little effect upon the mass of spectators. The prisoner’s course of dissipation; his many threats against the house—and the very fact of his having been robbed and abused there, werejjheavy against him. ( The counsel for the prisoner made his speech, which was labored and harcjl He was foolish enough to intimate that If his client was around at the back part fif the house more than once he must have;; been intoxicated. In short, his plea had better been left out. The evidence he oould not stake : and he did all he could to suppose evidence, some of it most absurd and ri diculous. I afterwards learned that'jMoul ton Warren engaged that lawyer ffir the youthful prisoner! The government attor ney made his plea. It was plain, straight forward and very conclusive. 1 The judge finally gave his charge); He was fair and candid. He reviewed the evidence carefully, and pointed out such as bore heavily upon the case. He fold us that if their was a lingering doubt'in our minds we must give the prisoner theibene- fit of it 1 . But I could plainly see * there =was no doubt in his mind. -J We—the jury—were conducted jo our own room,by an officer, and there looked up. A silence of some minutes epsued. Moulton Warren was the first to speak. “ Well,” he said, “I ’spose there’s no need of our bein’ here a great whiled Of course we all know that tbe prisoner must have set fire to the house.” j! There was something in the mapper of that man as he said this that excited my curiosity—l won’t say it 'was suspicion then—pnly curiosity. 1 He spoke with a forced effort at calmness which I ajt once perceived. The more 1 looked at hitn the more I became strangely nervous and un easy, wondered why he should be so atoxious to be rid of the case, and have Ambold oonvicted. I knew that he had frequented that evil house, and that he had;! done much toward tempting Charley (toward dissipation. I knew he'was in thatjjhouse on the Jnight on which. the prisoner was robbed—for Charley told me so v)hen I visited him in his cell.'*' I had thenjiasked the unfortunate youth if he was sure)! War ren was his friend. 0, —he was sure of it. He should have hunted him up dn the night of his robbery, only they had told him Warren was gone. J, By and by, the foreman proposed that we should each take up a piece of 1 paper and write down our opinion, and then compare notes. I went to my hat,j!which I had placed upon a table with a n'pmber of - others, and took out a sheet of paper. I had got half way back to the tabid when 1 found‘that I had made a mistake. ![I had got part of a letter from another il man’s hat. I jWas about to turn back whbn the name of the writer of the letter arrested my attention. I looked more closely and read “Stephen Grant.” Next I jjaught this sentence—■ 1 “ And now, dear Charles, if not for your own yet for yonr mother’s sake, let me hope you will do better.” !j “THAT COUNTRY 18 THE HOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.”—BUCHANAN. LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 8, 1857. I started as though a shot had struck me. I held in my hand the other half of the sheet which had been used to fire the burned house ! I went to the table and found that I had taken it from Moulton Warren’s hat! I looked to see if I had been observed—and I had not. I put the paper baok, and then took one from my own hat, whioh was of the same pattern as the other, and placed by its side. I returned to the table and sat down.— Warren was by my side. He had written his opinion, and took a knife from his pocket to cut it from the large sheet. “ Let me take your knife a moment if you please,” said I to him. Without hesitation he did so. I took it —it was Charles Ambold’s knife —the large blade was gone! With all the power I possessed I restrained my deep emotions, and having cut my paper, handed back the knife. Why should he have the knife so boldly about him. I afterwards learned. He had not worn those pantaloons before since the night of the fire ; and now he used the knife, probably without the least remem brance of the loss it had sustained, during a very peouliar piece of work, to the exe cution of whioh it was made subservient. We talked' some ten minutes, and I found that eleven of the jury were bent on rendering a verdict of guilty ; though most of them were in favor of recommending the prisoner to mercy Moulton Warren was decided. He had no mercy at all. Presently I started up and pretended to be faint. I said I must go out a few min utes. I kicked at the door and the deputy sheriff came. He heard my plea and let me out. As soon as we had gained a safe distance I told him all. He was aston ished. He went away, and when he came back, he brought the district judge and the sheriff. 1 told again what I had seen— that it was no mere suspicion. And I ex plained, too, Warren’s manner in the jury room, his former connection with the pris oner, and his known character. The officers went away, and at the end of ten minutes, they returned with a con stable added to their number, and this con stable had a freshly written instrument in his hand. The sheriff bade me point out the hat to them as soon as we entered the room. The door of the room was opened, and I pointed them to the hat. The sheriff took it, and asked whose hat it was. Warren leaped to lii-s feet and seized it, but was held back. Word was instantly sent to the judge that the jury could not agree. They were discharged, and then Moulton Warren was searched. The knife was found upon him, and his behaviour at once exposed his guilt. The presence of the letter was ac counted for by him in a dozen different ways within an hour. A new jury was impannelled, and Charles Ambold was acquitted. Shortly afterwards Warren was tried, and it was plainly proved that he had set fire to the house, and that the woman who kept it was to have been burned up in it, as he had contrived to lock her into her room shortly after setting the fire. She had l incurred his displeasure in various ways, and this was his revenge. Not only she, but two of her girls had suspected him from the ■first, but they dare not complain, for fear he would not be convicted, and would then be sure to murder them. * The hardened villain confessed his guilt after he had been condemned, and then it was that he told how he happened to be so careless in regard to the knife. It was he who had robbed Ambold, and when he took the old letter from his hat to use for a torch in setting the fire, he did not notioe what it was, and even when that partly burned half had been exhibited in court, ho had entirely forgotten that he had torn off the other half, and put it back in his hat, that he must have done. The letter had been found in Ambold’s pocket book, and he had kept it because in it the youth was warned against his influence. He confessed that he had a slight idea of call ing the writer to an account when it should become convenient. With regard to the knife, it was as I before stated. He took that from Ambold’s pocket, and put it into his own, and on the night of the fire he used it to pry up tho sash, and when he had broken it he put it back into his pocket and forgot it. Thus was Charley saved—and saved from more ignominious death, too. He was saved to be a noble, virtuous man, and his mother once more took ample de light and joy in the love and tender care of her only child. When Charles Ambold knew that Moul ton Warren had expiated his crime upon the gallows, he sat down and pondered upon his past life. The thought of his old companion being hanged, sent a strange thrill through his frame. But he was able to trace out, clearly and logically, this terrible result from the oourse of life the ill-fated man had pursued. He shuddered as ho remembered how far he had gone in the same course himself; and he was able to see the only safe path for any youth. Not only must he shun temptation—not only keep clear of even appearance of vice, but above all, must shun evil com panionship. A youth may make all the good resolutions thought can afford, but if he continues one evil companionship, he is not safe! For the Intelligencer. FRIENDSHIP TO . By CHARLES F. EVANS. Friend of my youth, how often do I gaze, In fond delight, my early days;^ When sunny prospeots bounded all my view, And hear’n bestow’d a tender friend in you ! Thy bosom glow’d with feelings warmly kind, That shed a halo round thy youthful mind As rich perfume, emitted from the rose, Scents the mild brVeze which o’er its beauty blows. But thou art one whose lore fades not away, Like the frail beauty of a summer’s day ; In weal or wo thou ever art the same, Prompt at eaoh moment to proteot the name Of Friendship, whioh the idle world would deem, Tho shadowy phantom of an airy dream. But, oh ! beliere not what the world may say, For Friendship sheds its bright, undying ray E’en o’er the deep, dark mansion of the tomb, Where the cold relics of our friends consume; Nor stops e’en here, but lifts its tearful eye, While faith transports it to the distant sky, Where tears are wip’d from ev’ry eye away, And Friendship brightens in unclouded day. Mobgajntown, December, 185 T. We do not despise all those who have vices, butCthose who have not one redeeming virtue. Going Home with a GirL “ Jeems,” the local editor of the Bald winsville Gazette, is something of a wag. In a recent number of that paper he gives an account of “ the first time he ever went home with a girl,” which is certainly the richest thing we have ever seen. As he thought proper to chronicle it for the edi fication of the public, we give it the benefit of onr cirulation : We were between sixteen and seventeen years of age when the event about to be related transpired and as a description of our personal appearance at that time is absolutely essential to the .point of our story, we will give it as concisely as the subject will allow. In reference, then to that period, to say that we were green in the usual accep* ation of that term, would give the reader but a poor idea of the figure we displayed. Rather imagine a tall, lean, cadaverous, swarthy looking ohap, with legs like a pair of tongs, a coun tenance about as expressive as a plate of Dutch cheese, a mouth that came very near making an island of all .the head above it, a face, covered with a furze that looked very much like the down on a newly hatch ed goslin, with a gait that would lead the beholder to conclude that we designed to travel down both sides of the street at the same time, and you have a correct daguer reotype of “ Jeems” in the seventeenth year of his age. One dark gloomy night in the month of December, we chanced to be at a “spelling school,” not a thousand miles from Bald wins ville, where our eyes fell on a “ fairy form” that immediately set our susceptible heart in a blaze. She was sixteen, or there abouts, with bright eyes, red cheeks and cherry lips, while the auburn ringlets clus tered in a wealth of profusion around her beautiful head, and her person to our rav ished imagination, was more perfect in form and outline, than the most faultless statue ever chiseled by the sculptor’s art. As we gazed, our feelings, which never be fore had aspired girlward, were fully arous ed, and we determined to go home with her that night or perish in the attempt. As soon, therefore, as school was dismissed, and our “ lady love” suitably bonnetted and cloaked, we approached to offer our services as contemplated, and we then learn ed an important lesson, viz : the difference between resolving and doing. As we near ed her we were seized with a partial blind ness—red, green, blue, and yellow lights flashed upon our vision and appeared and disappeared like witches in phantasmagoria —our knees smote together like Belahaz zer’s when he discovered' the handwriting on the wall, while our heart thumped with apparently as much force as if it were driv ing ten-penny nails into our ribs. We in the mean time, managed to mumble over something which is perhaps known to the Recording Angel, but certainly is not to us, at the same time polking out our elbow as nearly at right angels with our body as our physioal conformation would admit. The night air blew keenly which served in some sort to revive us, and as our senses returned, what were our emotions on find ing the cherished object of our first love, clinging to our arm with all the tenacity a drowning man is said to clutch at a straw ! Talk of elysian, or sliding down greased rainbows, or feeding on German flutes, what are sich ‘ phelinks’ in comparison to those mighty ones that swelled our bosom nigh unto the bursting of our waiscoat but tons. Our happiness was sublime, sub limity, sublimely, sublimated, and every person who has ever felt the divine throb bing of a fledged love principle, fully un derstands the world of bliss couched in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh words at the commencement of this sentence. Well, we passed on pleasantly towards our Sally’s home, talking of ‘ love and dove, and dart and part,’ until, so courageous had we become, that actually proposed ‘ to go in and sit awhile,’ to which our Dulcinae very graciously assented. Alas, for us ! how soon were we to be reminded that the ‘ course of true love never did run smooth.’ Sally had a brother of some ten sum mers, who accompanied us" along the way, and who was in wonderful high spirits at the idea of his. sister’s having a beau, and he would walk around us frequently, gig gling in the height of his glee, and eyeing us as closely as if ourself and Sally were the world renowned Siamese twins, and he was taking his first look. Bill, by the way, was a stubborn, chuckle-headed boy, whose habiliments would have made the fortune of any two dealers in mop-rags. At length we reached the bars, and while we were letting them down, Bill shot past us, and tore for the house as if pursued by a thousand bulls of Basham.— He flung open the door with a bang, and exclaimed at the tep of his voice— “ Mother ! Mother ! Jim Clark is cum in hum with Sal!” “Is he V' screamed the old woman in reply, “wal I declare ! 1 didn't think the sap-head knew enough /” “ Keep to the Right.” —What a text for a sermon ! I wonder if the painter of those few words upon that rough board knew that he was going to be a street preacher ; and to the wandering, wayward soul point the way. “ All men are preachers,” says a german proverb, “for ever pointing to others the way, but never walking therein themselves.” Everyman who paints upon a board, “keep to the right!” is. a preacher, whatever his life may be. If this one command stood alone in the book called holy, it would be suffi cient to guide to Heaven. Keep to the right in the highway. No matter whether poverty, in rags, or wealth in ermine, meet you, if you move steadily on to the right, there will be no collision or jostling. Keep to the right in life’s highway. Never ask what saith law or custom; ask which is the right way,.and zealously walk therein. Keep to the right, young man! Your happy home is on the right. Your beautiful sister is pressing her face to the window pane watching for your coming. She loves you with all the ardor of her poor young soul; go to her, and learn wisdom and purity. Your mother awaits you. She has whispered your name in her sweet prayer —has asked good angels to lead you away from sin and temptatien. Your good father, weary and worn, has gone to his dreams, saying, as he went —“ Would to Heaven my child would keep to the right!” V Keep to the right, daughters of fashion. Avoid the path marked out for you by soulless men and weak-minded women ; it leads through thorny ways, to an early grave. Do not barter your glorious inher itance for glitter and gold. Do not waste the wealth of your large soul in the whirl- pool of folly. To the right you will find true, brave hearts to welcome you into the field of earnest labor. There will you learn life’s great lesson—its holy mission. Keep to the right, faltering sister ! 'Let not the syren song of the seducer lure you into the crowded path on the left—it leads to degradation. Robbers are in the way, who will steal your peace of soul, your angelic - beauty, and your priceless purity. True, the path at the right has few trav elers ; but the few are glorious souls.— They have not bowed down to the golden gods of man’s making ; they have not bor rowed the flimsy garb of virtue of the Lord, nor masks from sham Christianity to serve his majesty the devil in. They have asked the nearest way to heaven, and are clear ing a road that way. Winter Feed for Milch Cows. Messrs. Editors—l wrote to you some time ago for information in relation to Sav age’s steam boiler, and mentioned to you that I was sending milk to New York by the Harlam railroad, and wanted to find the best way to heat water in sufficient quantities to scald feed for about thirty cows daily, through the winter. In your reply you requested me to write for publication in your paper, my mode of preparing cow feed in winter, and how I feed my cows in summer ; and now, after some delay I will endeavor to comply with your request. , In summer, I turn them to pasture, hav ing plenty of rough land that is good for little else. In winter their feed consists of corn, oats and hay. I bring in a portion of my corn in the stout, without husking, when sufficiently dry, and mow it away for win ter use. I then cut the corn, together with oats in the sheaf, and tread the mix ture down in a large feed tub, or a hogs head with one head, and turn on fifty or sixty gallons of boiling water, which soft ens the corn that the cows can eat it without making their teeth sore, and the oats will be perfectly cooked through, so that they will all digest. I have one of Daniel’s patent feed cut ters, which I purchased about three years ago at a cost of twenty-five dollars. It is calculated to go by horse-power, but is the best hand-power cutter I have ever seen, and when in good order, two men will cut feed enough in one hour for my thirty oows one day or two feedings. One hogshead full of feed, well trod down, will make about thirty pailfuls, or one feeding for my cows. I feed them twice a day with this feed, and they have what hay they want besides. The advantage that I find in preparing my feed in this way, over that of thresh ing and grinding, is : Ist. It is cheaper to out my oats and corn than to thresh and husk the same. 2d. I save the trouble of carrying my corn and oats two miles to mill, and bring ing it home again. 3d. I save the toll, which is something of an item. 4th. The whole of the oats, straw, chaff, &c., and the whole of the com, stalks, husks, cobs, silk and all, is eaten, except some of the largest butt ends of the stalks, are left, which I consider no loss, as they are not fit for any animal to eat. sth. I get more milk than I can make out of dry feed, and although I have tried no definite experiments, I am satisfied that the same quantity of corn and oats pre pared in this way, will go about as far again as to thresh and grind them, and throw away the chaff, which, fed dry, (in case a cow can be coaxed to eat it,) will only have the effect to dry up her milk. My cows eat their feed greedily, and with two heaping pailfuls a day to each cow, it requires less hay to fill them up, and as each cow gets three or four gallons of water in her scalded feed, night and morning, while standing in her stall, she will not crave so large a quantity of cold water when let out in the morning, as she would if fed on dry provender and hay ; and the chilling effect of cold water taken in large quantities, cannot be favorable to the making of milk. Corn, to be fed in this way, should be planted not over three feet apart each way, so that the stalks will not be very oourse and more leafy, and although the ears will not be very large, yet they will probably yield as much weight by the acre as when planted three and a half or four feet apart, and particular care should be taken to have it secured and brought in in good order. The objection to this mode of preparing food, is the trouble and expense of heating water, which I think might be greatly ob viated by bringing into use some of the newly improved boilers that are advertised for heating houses, &c., with very little time and fuel, and have them So construct ed as to adopt them to onr use. I believe this to be the true way to feed oats to milking oows, but com prepared in this way does not perfectly digest, and ought to be pat into a large boiler, and by standing a few hours over the same fire that it requires simply to boil the water, the kernels will crack open and become perfectly digestible. I have practised the latter course for two winters past with good success, by using a wooden box with a sheet-iron bottom, but it takes rather too much wood, and the box gets dried up and out of order every summer. The object of my former inquiry was to find some kind of a boiler to meet my par ticular wants, and any information in rela tion to the subject through the columns of the Cultivator, will be thankfully received by a subscriber.— Country Gentleman. The Pistol. —An Irishman driven to desperation,' by the stringency of the money market, and the high price of pro visions, procured a pistol and took the road. Meeting a traveller he stopped him, with “your money or your life.” Seeing that Pat was green, he said : “I’ll tell you what I’ll do. I’ll give you all my money for the pistol.” “Agreed.” Pat received the money, and handed over th# pistol. “Now,” said the traveller, “hand back that money, or I’ll blow your brains out.” “Blizzard away me hearty,” said Pat, “devil the dhrop of powther there’s ia it sure.” HF” An English writer says, in his ad vice to young married women, that their mother, Eve ‘married a gardner,’ It might be added that the gardner in consequence of his match, lost his situation. A Long Time About It. Sam Sliok tells a good story about an overgrown hnlk of a Yankee boy who was sent to the wood pile by his father one cold winter evening, for a “ back log ” for the kitchen fire. The youth went out, but in stead of bringing in a good, substantial log, only brought a thin little stick—or “ brail,” as the Pennsylvania Germans say. His father immediately gave him a good whipping, and sent him after another log. But the youth having his “ dander ’roused,” left the house, went to Boston,; and shipped on a vessel whioh made a voy- . age of several years. In course of time the youth came baok ! and started home on foot. It was winter, 1 and just such an evening as the one on which he left home. So remembering his father’s order, the young man picked up a huge log, and staggering into the house, threw it down on the hearth before his 1 astonished father and mother, and quietly 1 said: i “ Father, here’s that back log you sent me for.” The old gentleman, not to be outdone in coldness, replied, with a touch of sever ity : “ Well you’ve been a darned long time about it /” We were reminded of this story by the following, whioh we find floating about uncredited : A certain distinguished citizen of Mil waukie, Wis., who had filled the highest office in the State, was once in the employ of a farmer in Western New York. Among other things it was his duty to “ bring in the cows.” One evening the oows and boy came home missing. . Some years after, the farmer was passing down East Water Street, Milwaukie, and saw the name of his cow-boy over the door of one of the largest warehouses in the West.— He walked in and found his boy in the counting room. He stared a moment at the truant, and then broke out with, “Hello, Len, have you found them cows yet ?” One can imagine what followed—a mutual recognition. It is said the old farmer was pacified without a breach of the peace. s CARDS. DR.
