MISS SPRIGGINS
BY J. WELLINGTON WELCH
Miss Spriggins is going to be married,
I beard so this morning, down town;
She'll no longer be Miss Dolly Spriggins,
But Mrs. Charles Henry Brown.
1 pity this Wight who has got her ;
When he knows her as well as I do,
He'll wish that he never had wed her,
For she's an untamable Shrew.
Her lover no doubt thinks her temper
Smooth as oil, and sweeter than honey ;
But then if he does, 'tis no wonder,
For her father has plenty of money;
Indeed I am told he's right wealthy,
That his coffers are crowded with pelf,
And more than all, that he's not healthy,
And soon may be laid on the shelf.
Miss Dolly asserts she's but thirty ;
'Tis false though, allow me to say;
I have positive proof that she's forty,
I saw it in the "record" one day.
She calls herself a young lady;
She can't come that sell over me;
And if Brown thinks her only thirty,
He's greener than I took him to be.
Brown calls her a perfect beauty ;
liar picture before you I'll bring,
And, reader, if you call her pretty,
a Why, then, I'M. no judge of the thing.
The end of her noise pointeth heavenward
She's as fat us a lucifer match,
Her eyes are like two red onions,
And right under one is a patch.
Iler mouth's like the door of a tavern,
iler. hair's of a carrotty hue,
She is six feet three in her stockings,
While Brown is but four feet two.
I hope she'll ne'er weep in his presence,
For her tears, to fall down from such height,
Should they strike on the top of his caput,
Would demolish that article quite.
I met Brown to-day at Smith's Island ;
Of his sweetheart be seems very proud ;
Ho calls her a queen among women,
In short, in her praise he's quite loud ;
But she'll lead him a life full of sorrow ;
If he stays out at night beyond ton,
The way she'll treat him to the broomstick,
Is a caution to unmarried men.
In a very few weeks, if naught happens,
In their beautiful mansion up town,
By the aid of the Parson, Miss Spriggins
Will become Mrs. Cnas. Henry Brown.
.1 wish Brown much joy of his bargain ;
When he knows her as well as /do
He'll wish the -Old Harry" had got her,
Stead of Young Carry four feet two.

FIDDLING FOR THE DEAD.
Several years ago, circumstances con
nected with my art led me to Naples.
After working hard, and winning some
sort of reputation as a violinist in my own
country, 1 determined on giving a series
of concerts in the principal cities of the
continent, in the hope, I think not an un
laudable one —of upholding English music,
and at the same time of filling my own
pockets. The experiment proved highly
satisfactory; and, with the exception of a
few hostile criticisms, I must confess that
I met with quite as much success as I
deserved. At Naples, the appointment Of
solo-player at the opera was offered me,
and, although the emolument attached to
the office was not very high, I gladly ac
cepted of it, in order to enjoy the delight
of a southern winter and at the same time,
devote myself to theoretical studies, under
the genial influence of the siren Pathenope.
We fiddlers require, every now and then,
a few months' pause and abstraction from
the too mercenary professional life of Paris
and London, otherwise our enthusiasm is
apt to cool, and we come to look upon our
once-loved art as no longer a mistress to
be worshipped, but a trade to make money
by. The appointment gave me occupation,
but at the same time left abundant leisure
to prosecute my other studies, and 1 was
perfectly contented with my lot. The
climate and scenery are alone an intoxica
tion, while the magnificent Toledo, with
its perpetual fair, the stately palaces of
the Chiaja or, better still, the unrivaled
bay, prohibit all ennui. To live in this
piece of heaven fallen on the earth,' as
the Neapolitan calls his country, is a posi
tive pleasure. As the eye rests upon the
luxuriant gardens around, or catches the
sparkling foam of that delicious sea, with
Capri and Ischia in the distance, we no
longer wonder at the indolent, pleasure
seeking nature of the people. Like a
gentle opiate, lulling the sense of bodily
pain, a divine repose steals over the fretted
nerves and heated brain, in this delicious
land of lavish lights and floating shade ;'
and to the musician, living for the most
part a highly artificial life, amidst the
feverish excitement of perpetual emula
tion, the lotus gift comes with a double
welcoirie. Yielding entirely to the sur
rounding influences, I shunned society as
much as possible, and lived alone—alone
with my loved Guernarins, best and most
chefished of friends. In solitary rambles
through the picturesque streets, an occa
sional sail to one of the small islands of
Lazaretto and Nisida, or a stroll to the
environs; the weeks passed by in delight
ful succession, literally embarrassed with
the richness of nature and art. Nursed
in solitude, my ideas grew apace • sheet
after sheet of paper became crowded with
a series of hieroglyphics, unintelligible to
any but a very practiced eye ; and I had
already planned, and even partly executed,
a work of a more ambitious character than
any I had hitherto attempted. This work,.
on which I intended to rest my reputation
as a composer, now absorbed my whole
attention, and, in order to avoid every
possible distraction, I raised my fees to
such an amount as would leave me undis
turbed by concert-givers. The pay of my
appointment amply covered my expenses,
and, for a few months at least, I resolved
to live in retirement. To announce pub
licly that I declined to accept any engage
ments, would have been an insult to those
who had so kindly welcomed me; besides,
I was 'only a fiddler,' and bad to live by my
art; and was, moreover, satisfied with my I
condition. My only object was to gain a short
respite fromjhe excitement of solo-playing,
and to give my fingers a holiday, not for a
moment to abandon .a profession which I
had chosen in opposition to the counsels of
my best friends, but which, with all its
drawbacks, is the only one that ever would
.have satisfied the aspirations of my heart.
The ruse answered perfectly, for, in the
land whirs instrumental performers are
proverbially ill-paid; ten louis was an
:exorbitant honorarium. So I lived in peace,
fulfilling my allotted task, occasionally:
Eiving my services gratuitously when the
.object was one 'of charity, but other-:I
wise eschewing pnblic life. A quartette
of Beethoven's was the only temptation to
Which I' yielded ; and these, glob 'Works
lieverievialed their Wondriitts wealth of
V 1..;
harmony to my ears so fully as performed
in my 'parlor near the sky,' overlooking
the azure sea.
One morning, toward the end of March,
as I was sitting alone, smoking, and
correcting the score of my new work, the
door suddenly opened,and a foreign-looking
footman entered the room with a note from
his master, Prince Paul —, a Russian
nobleman, then living in Naples. To my
infinite surprise, the note contained a
request that I would spend the following
evening at his palazzo, and bring some
music. Of course there could be no objec
tion on my part to accept the engagement,
and I therefore - presented myself at the
appointed time and place, with my fiddle
case under my arm.
The palazzo was one of those noble
mansions situated on the Chiaja ; and I
was ushered by the chamberlain through a
magnificent hall into an elegantly furnish
ed ante-room, where tea, coffee, &0., were
liberally supplied. After duly disposing
of my burden, on an ottoman, I accepted
a cup of the fragrant souchong, sunk -in
an arm-chair, and began to make a survey
of the apartment. Two or three servants
dressed in black performed the duties of
the tea-table to admiration, and the cham
berlain was the very perfection of one of
those now nearly obsolete functionaries.
But what struck me as very strange was,
that I should be the only guest, and that
no Belinda of footsteps or voices should be
heard. At length growing impatient at
the delay, I asked my cicerone for an ex
planation of this apparent anomaly rbut
the only reply I got was to the effect that
monseigneur would wish to see me im
mediately ; so I took up my instrument,
tuned the strings, and then quietly awaited
the momentous summons. Presently the
door was thrown open, and I was informed
that the prince was ready; so I rose and
followed my seriouslnide through a suite of
apartments to the saloon where the great
man and his friends were assembled. On my
entrance, he advanced and welcomed me
in tones of the most bland politeness ;
then, after a few commonplaces, he said
he should be delighted to hear me play. I
bowed, and commenced a piece of my own
composition, founded on a popular Neapoli
tan fisherman's song. I had purposely
selected this for what dramatists call
le lever du rideau, from the fact of its
possessing a certain degree of sprightli
ness caculated to arrest the listener's ear,
and thus produce a favorable reception for
my more elaborate performance. It also
gave me time to study my audience and
the acoustic qualities of the room, which
was of considerable size, but so dimly
lighted that its proportions were not easily
definable. A few wax candles, burning
in silver stands, interspersed up and down,
shed so feeble an illumination on the sur
rounding objects that it served but to in
crease the gloom.
The company consisted of some twenty
or thirty individuals, who preserved the
most icy rigidity of manner. One lady,
dressed in blue satin, with a jasmine flower
in her hair, was beautiful as a Grecian
statue, but, alas! as-cold. Another of
the guests seemed plunged in deep thought,
for his head never once moved from its
recumbent position during my performan
ces. Two or three of the gentlemen were
dressed in uniform, and, to judge from
the stars and ribbons which adorned their
breasts, must have been of considerable
distinction. Among the gentle sex I
remarked a few pretty girls clustered in
one corner, while an elderly lady, in black
velvet and ostrich plumes, surveyed the
group with a smile of benevolent approval.
One couple, consisting of an old gentleman
and lady, who, to judge by their silver
locks and venerable forms, must have long
passed the term o€ life allotted by the
Psalmist, sat in close proximity to their
host, and were evidently the patriarchs of
the party. The rest I could not see, with
the exception of a dark-complexioned man
of about thirty-five, who fixed upon me a
glassy and steady eye. There was a wild
haggard expression about that man's face
that I did not like ; and whenever I looked
in his direction, I met the same fixed stare,
until it became an insult.; but, as if to
make amends for this, a comely-looking
dame, seated by his side, rewarded my
exertions with a very kindly, good-humored
•
There was an air of bienseance pervad
ing the assembly ; but, at the same time,
I had never in my whole experience found
the Horetian axiom of nil admzrari push
ed to the same extent; and when I
brought my solo to a close, not a single
expression of admiration greeted my labors.
I ought, by the way, to except the prince,
who pleased to express himself in flattering
terms of my artistic endowments. Two
footmen now brought on silver trays a
slight refection composed of ices, orgeat,
and Venetian confectionery. While this
part of the ceremony was being enacted,
and I was drily refreshing myself with an
ice such as Italy alone can produce, Prince
Paul came up and began to chat about the
rival schools of music in Germany and
Italy, in a way that showed considerable
knowledge of the subject. There was in
the old gentleman's manner a benevolence
and regard to the feelings of others, com
bined with a genial warmth of expression,
strangely opposed to the chilling indiffer
ence displayed by his guests.
After: a sufficient pause I resumed my
enstrument, and this time selected Prume's
delicious pastorale La .Melancolie, think
ing that this might be more in harmony
with the feelings of my audience. But it
was all one; not an emotion was stirred
by the most touching tones of that expres
sive melody, or the admirable variations
which succeeded it. The dark eyes still
glared at me wildly—the comely dowager
smiled good-humoredly as before—the
generals evinced no symptoms of a Enirre
der of their stoicism—the group of fair
girls, with their chaperonne, preserved the
utmost composure—and she with the divine
face and the jasmine flower ! no trace,
not even the faintest gleam of susceptibil
ity dwelt on that adorable countenance.—
I could have borne all but this. Had one
smile of approbation from thoSe lovely
lips rewarded my endeavors,' I ehohld have
- been content. But this indifference was
dreadful. Was it poseible that a being so
thoroughly beautiful could be deprived of
all sensibility to the poetry of sound.? It
could not be; no, I had failed in calling
forth those emotions of the:soul, so obe
dient to the summons of the inspired
musician. My wand -was evidently-impo
tent, and I became piqued and discontent
ed. At length, afterplaying a Mournful

LANCASTER CITY, SPA., TUESDAY. MORNING, AUGUST 21, 1860.
G. broke off, and in a fit of desperation dashed
into the Carnival de Venise. It was a
last resource, and I- resolutely determined
on rousing this apathetic assemblage, at
the sacrifice even of my own reputation.
The most out re and extravagant variations
—the most ludicrous sounds I could devise
..--altercations between the old man and
woman, followed by the tumbling down
stairs of the former, while hotly pursued
by his better-half ; Paganini's most gro
tesque movements, rendered grotesquer
and absurder still—followed by the cluck
ing of hens, crowing of cooks, the bleating
of lambs, the grunting of pigs, the various
sounds of a farm' yard, delightfully inter
spersed with the mewing of cats, and the
lowing of an old cow, being the veritable
song of which that ancient female died ;
all these, and more, recklessly thrown in,
without the slightest regard to anything
but the desired object of rousing my audi
ence. Caring for nothing else, I fixed my
eyes on the Madonna-like head, and
watched intently her face. With the
electric thread which seems to connect
the musician and his listener, I was ready
to catch the faintest expression of her
features, to seize the slightest and most
airy fancy of her brain, and transfer it to
my strings. Alas, alas ! all was fruitless ;
and, after some of the maddest and most
insane sounds ever emitted from a fiddle,
I sank thoroughly exhausted into a spa
cious arm-chair, and buried my face in my
hands.
The Prince now approached and thanked
me warmly for my services, at the same
time expressing the gratification I had
afforded him by what he was pleased to
term my wonderful execution and original
ity of genius. There was a dignity and
grand-seignior air about the old nobleman
which prevented my laughing bitterly at
this dubious compliment to my charlatan
ry ; but I saw at a glance that he meant
no insult, and therefore contented myself
with a formal bow. Soon afterward, the
chamberlain entered the saloon ; mon
seigneur politely wished me good night,
and my guide conducted me through the
long suite of dimly-lighted apartment to
the hall. Just as I was leaving, I cast a
glance behind; the divine head was pen
sive as ever—the dark eyes still glared—
the good-natured dowager smiled—the
warriors preserved their guard in the same
corner. I felt I had produced no impres
sion—that I had, moreover, made a fool of
myself, and that the sooner I left the
place the better. Stung to the quick with
mortification, I pushed brusquely past the
attendants, and, declining the proffered
carriage, rushed into the street, glad to
escape from this mansion of the dead.
The following morning I received a com
plimentary note, containing a cheque for
ten louis, and expressing a wish to see me
again in the course of the ensuing week.
Now, as I said before, I am 'only a fiddler,'
and have to live by my art, consequently
I again accepted the invitation, and drew
out a programme of strictly classical
music, thinking that my previous selection
had probably not been to the taste of the
listeners. I should not omit to mention
that I was on each occasion provided with
a pianiste accompagnateur.
The same stillness pervaded the man
sion as before, the same ceremony, the
same dimly-lighted apartments, and so far
as 1 could perceive, the same guests. I
played with care, for the idea had seized
my mind that these silent persons were
fastidious critics of music, and had proba
bly not relished my extravagance of last
week. I was, therefore, doubly scrupu
lous, and rendered with the utmost accur
acy in my power Mendelssohn's magnificent
concerto, which was my piece de resistance.
But 1 again had the mortification of closing
without a murmur of that sweet music of
applause which is to the executive artist
as the breath of life. The exquisite
beauty of the lady with the jasmine flower,
faintly seen through the prevailing gloom,
the soft pensiveness of the countenance,
in whose features were blended Athenian
grace with the Madonna inspiration, stole
into my heart and disturbed its usual pla
cidity ; for recollect, oh ! reader, I was in
the land of Romeo and Juliet. As usual,
the Prince congratulated me on my per
formance, and the chamberlain conducted
me to the door. The ten louis were duly
forwarded, and I endeavored to dismiss
the subject from my mind ; but in dreams
there would arise the figure of a beautiful
lady beckoning me to celestial bowers, and
in the daytime my mind was haunted by
her image. I became restless and moody ;
found myself, without any what lawyers
call -malice prepense, walking up and down
in front of the palazzo, gazing at the win
dows, in the hope of catching a glimpse of
the divine occupant. In fact, I was be
ginning to evince all the symptoms of a
man hopelessly and irretrievably in love.
Laugh not, good friends, at my plight, for
it was a sorry one. You who are rich - and
well born can afford to love; the fair and
the young smilingly strew the path in the
citadel of their hearts with rose-leaves.—
And you again; respected Jones, who don't
exactly belong to the creme, de la creme,
can yet afford to love—and rear up a brood
of sturdy little Jonestis ; but the poor ar
tist, who is neither rich nor high born, nor
respectable—the Bohemian of society, the
diverting vagabond, whose only mission is
to mitigate the ennui of . listless lords and
ladies—what business has he to love, save
some rouged and spangled beauty of his
own gypsy clan ? It is true, he is admit
ted into the familiarity of the great; he is
lionized, and, it may be, flattered by beau
tiful women ; often, too, he is the recipient
of the most delicate confidence.; • yet woe
betide him should he for a moment forget
his exact position, and lift his eyes to the
fair forms around him with any other than
the coldest and most deferential gaze.—
Yet it is hard to do this at all, times—
hard, with your susceptible nervous organ
ization, to case your heart in ,steel, and
successfully resist the blandishments of
beauty and refinement. I was fully aware
of all this; and that my growing passio
was the direst insanity ; everything—my
position in-life—the utter indifference dis
played by the object of all this delirium—
went to prove the fact. Still the impassi
bility, tne coldness, .the mystery, only,
served to add fuel to my raging love,- and
I was living in a sort of fever. .For a time
I did nothing but draw figUres of melan
choly ladies with flowers in their hair,
write doggerel sonnets to Beatrice—l had
ascertained her name—wherein the moon,
and the stars and the sea largely figured,
and the world love generally, rhymed to
grove. Daring the height of this madness
I arose one-night from my sleepless couch,
stifled end restless, throw open the _ _ .. •
dow ; the gentle breeze from the sea, bear
ing on its wings the voices of fishermen in
the bay, mingled with the occasional
laughter of a group of lazzaroni listening
to the recital of some drollery ; the drowsy
hum of the sleeping city, and the murmur
of the waves, added to the picturesque
sounds whieh in Naples never cease day
or night—all tended to compose my mind.
I drew on my dressing gown and slippers,
lighted my meerschaum ' and sat by the
window, inhaling rich draughts of the cool
and fragrant air.
Presently I seized pen and paper and
began to write. The confused ideas and
passionate ravings of my heart now found
a vent, and poured themselves forth in
musical forms. Without premeditation or
design; my composition took a shape, into
which I most happily threw those wild
aspirations which, through ignorance of
the medium, had been simply ridiculous
abortions on the uncouth canvas and
doggerel verse. So thoroughly became I
absorbed in my occupation that I was
bewildered when Giulia, the pretty serving
maid, gently. tapped at my, door to an
nounce the matutinal roll and coffee. I
looked around ; the lamp still feebly
flickered against the now almost brilliant
sunlight ; a mass of paper lay scattered on
the floor, and the asho,s of the pipe had
fallen on my tatterel robe de chamber,
curiously perforating that venerable gar
ment. I hastily gathered the manuscript
together, extinguished the lamp, admitted
the astonished Ginlia, discussed my break
fast, and then resumed my work. By
noon it was finished to my satisfaction. I
entitled it ./1 Dream of Love. The same
evening I was again engaged at the pal
azzo, and went this time triumphantly
armed with my new composition, which I
had dedicated to g The Unknown Lady.'
She was, as usual, just visible through the
perpetual twilight which reigned in this
abode, with the same placid expression of
goodness in the divinely beautiful face.
The swarthy stranger was also there, and
his eyes rested on Me as wildly as ever ;
the good-humored dowager was good
natured still; the girls, fair as a group of
sea-nymphs, appeared, like those way
ward beings, devoid of human souls ; for
they were utterly unimpressionable. The
other ladies and gentlemen maintained
their usual frigid demeanor. I played
a romance of Beethoven's, Ernst's Elegie,
then just published; a selection of the
Lieder ohne Worton ; and then my own
Dream of Love. Up to this time I had
evidently made no way ; my audience was
unmoved, and I began to feel nervous, for
I had staked all my hopes on the success
of this last composition. At length I
commenced, and, gazing on the being of
my idolatry, drank inspiration from that
queenly brow. The tender strain pro
ceeded, coy and gentle as a bashful lover's
vows ; then gradually warming instinctive
ly it became hurried, uncertain, fierce,
and strong, until, reaching the climax of
frenzy, its passion exploded in a wild
burst, and then, in broken sobs and
scarcely articulate sighs, it slowly died
away in silence.
I fixed my straining eyeballs on the
unknown lady, and sought to dive into the
secret recesses of her soul. With a
throbbing heart and fevered brow, I threw
into the music all the fire which tormented
my breast. The violin was no longer a
mere musical instrument, but rather a
human soul pouring forth the wailing
melodies of some divine despair,' whose
piteous accents must touch the coldest
heart. Alas !it touched not hers. The
dark eyes glared fiercely ; the dowager
relaxed not a muscle of that stereotyped
smile ; that detested smile nearly drove
me mad. The maidens were passive as
usual, and the heroes sat stolid as blocks
of stone. I felt my head turning, and, in
a paroxysm of agony at the ruin of all my
hopes, I flung aside my instrument, and,
utterly reckless of consequences, threw
myself at the feet of the lady, and wildly
seized her arm, when-0 that the earth
had opened to receive me and hide my
shame !—the exquisite member crumbled
into dust, and she the madly-worshipped
queen of my soul, toppled over from her
seat, and, with a fearful crash, fell to the
ground, dashed into a hundred fragments.
I recollect nothing further of
what occurred ; but when I regained my
senses I was at home, attended by a care
ful nurse and the ever-watchful Giulia.
For some days I did not allude to any
subject of an exciting nature ; but when
my constitution had finally triumphed,
and I was one evening sitting on the
balcony, still weak, but rapidly recovering,
the honest girl put a letter into my hand
which she had orders to deliver to me as
soon as the physician would allow. I
broke the seal, and read as follows :
Sm—Your rash conduct has been
cruelly punished, and I feel it has now
become my duty to remove the mystery
which has so painfully affected you. lam
an old man, and have survived most of my
contemporaries ; consequently, I live chief
ly in the past, amidst departed friends and
by-gone memories. For years I have ex
isted in this manner, alone, and yet sur
rounded by the dear familiar faces of those
I loved best on earth. As each cherished
friend died, I called into requisition the
skill of the modeler, and in wax, clothed in
their usual dress, wearing their usual ex
pression, I have thus preserved my house
hold gods around me. Romembering their
various tastes, I procure those amusements
to which they wore most addicted, and for
this purpose I secured your ability. In
these scenes I live again, and the pleasures
of memory crowd my brain. In fact, I
have few other resources of joy left than
those which lie embalmed in the past.
Those figures you saw in the dim light are
the exact = exact, yet, alas ! how different
—representations of my departed friends
and relatives ; and the lady dressed in
blue satin was my only daughter—good
and pureas an angel. Ah! the wound is
re-opened.: Adieu forever.
PRINCE PAUL ---.'
Enclosed, was a cheque for fifty louis,
and a ring containing a look of raven hair,
set in .diamonds. At first 1 was furious.
I resolved to return, with bitter reproach
es, these - hated -cadeaux ; but the Prince
was gone, no one knew whither. Thus
baffled, I tore up into a thousand shreds
my noturno, drawintu3, sonnets, &c. I
was covered with confusion and shame.—
To have thus madly loved a wax figure !
All 'Naples would be pelting 'with ridicule
the luckless foreign fiddler. I must
instantly leave the accursed place, and
once more plunge into the active scenes of
daxl , fife Fortunately, bOwever, I found
my adventure was not known; so quietly
resigned my appointment, and bade fare.:
well to Naples—a city I have never re
visited.
Many years have elapSed, and in the
varied scenes of a busy professional life
the above circumstances had nearly faded
away from my memory, when, to my as
tonishment, one morning hot long ago, I
received a small parcel from abroad, con
taining the miniature portrait of a beauti
ful girl, exquisitely painted. A letter
accompanied this gift, wherein I was
officially informed that by the will of the
late Prince Paul —, recently deceased,
at an advanced age, in Moscow, I became
entitled to this portrait, together with
some manuscript music and a small sum
of money. The music I found to be no
other than my forgotten Dream which had
been left in the Palazzo on the night of
that dire confusion. Lost in amazement,
I gazed at the well remembered features
until my mind dreamily wandered- • back
through the long years to the sombre man
sion, the eccentric old nobleman, the silent
party, and my astounding affairs de czvr
on the Chiaja.
An Eccentric Doctor and his Pa-
tient.
Of all the professions, trades or occupa
tions that engage the minds of men, that
of physician is the most diversified. In
locating he has to find out the constitution
of those he is called upon to visit, for it is
frequently the case that success may be
owing more to a deep and thorough knowl
edge of the constitution than applications.
As an illustration of this, we will relate
an anecdote of one of our old physicians,
who,if he finds physic will not cure, tries
such other means as the case may require.
Dr. D— had long been the attending
physician of a lady considerably past her
teens, and affected with certain disorders
incident to a want of occupation and the
care of a family. She sends for the doctor
in season and out of season • he_ rushes at
a two forty pace, and finds his patient
physically perfectly well, but sad and
lonely, and of course afflicted,. with the
blues. All that he can do is to administer
a tincture with a few drops of peppermint,
and the patient is well for a day.
On one occasion—a cold blusterous
night--the doctor had just turned in,
wrapping himself snugly in his blanket,
with the hope of a quiet sleep, when a
loud rap aroused him.
Who is sick ?' inquired the doctor.
Miss Sallie Strickland, sir ; she is
most dead ; expect she'll die before you
get, there.'
I'll be along,' says the doctor ; ex
claiming to himself, ' that Miss Sally ! I'll
try to cure her this time.'
The doctor plods along through mud
and mire, cold and rain, studying his
application. When he arrives at the
dwelling of Miss Sally he finds her, as
usual, in rather a depressed state of mind.
Doctor,' said she feebly, ' I expect- to
die every moment ;I am very low. Can
you do anything for me 3'
The doctor feels her pulse ;•nothing the
matter—merely wanted company. The
doctor becomes communicative.
, Miss Sally, I was having a terrible
dream when your servant awoke me.'
, What is it ?' she eagerly inquired.
, I dreamed I was dead,' continued the
doctor, , and descended into the lower re
gions, where I met ' Old Scratch ; ' who
invited me to view his dominions. The
inmates were engaged in different occupa
tions ; some playing cards, others swind
ling their neighbors ; in fine, all the pur
suits they followed during their life, they
continued there. When Satan got through
showing me round, he exclaimed to the
four quarters of his kingdom that they
should all go to bed—' for,' said he,
Sally Strickland will be here directly,
and there'll be no sleep in my regions for
a month !"
The doctor's speedy departure was
increased to flight by the sight of a broom
stick flourishing actively in his rear ; but
the remedy was effectual.
A QUAKER PARENT OUT—WITS HIS SON
IN A BARGAIN.—The Quakers are, in the
main, as every one knows a thrifty, kind
hearted, and, undoubtedly honest people 3
but in some of them, even as among the
world's honest people,' love of filthy
lucre will predominate. In one of their
farming communities lived friend Benja
min sr., and his son. It was their custom
to buy up cattle to fatten for sale. One
day Benjamin, jr., had selected a choice
portion of stock from a passing drove,
and was about to buy, when Benjamin, sr.,
came along.
Father, I am about to buy these cat
tle, what dost thee think of them ?'
What does ho ask ? So much 1 1 guess
thee'll get them for less ; offer him $BOO,
and, wait till mooning if he don't trade.'
Filial Ben assented—made an offer in
vain—went home with the old gentleman,
slept—and next morning, after caring for
his stock, mounted his horse to try again
to buy the cattle. But on the way he
met Benjamin, sr., returning homeward
with the whole herd in question. Benja
min; sr., was wealthy as well as smart—
he had taken an early start and bought
the lot.
Thee will let me have my portion,'
will thee not ?' asked filial Ben.
What! Isn't that a hard trick to play
thy own son ? and I trusted to thee !'
Ah, Benny,' said pater familia s, re
provingly,' thee must be sharp and wide
awake; trust nobody, Benjamin ; watch
everybody ; watch thy father, Benjamin ;
watch thy father !'
_ Quite likely for young Benjamin the
admonition was needless-thenceforward.
