Softly the sun's last rays are glinting Over the hillside, over the lea, Flushing the fleecy clouds, and tinting With gold'and crimson the purple sea; While hand in hand they wander together— Youth of twenty and child of ten— Across the sea beach, over the heather, By sloping hillock and shady glen; A breeze is stirring each rippling curl On the sunny head of the little girl, And her.eyes from the shading hat's broad brim, With innocent love look up to him. Ten long years and the mellow gloaming Casts its glamour o'er glen and lea, And glide the sands where a maid is roaming With eyes that wander beyond the sea. Ten long years—and that daily glory Has dawned and darkened on wood and grove, Lighting tho page of a lasting story, The old, old story of maiden's love. But duty severed those alas ng hands— As the pitiless ocean severs the lands— And the hhart grew sad and the eyes grew dim Wearily waiting and watohin'g for him. Ten years more—_while the restless billows Fret and foam on the patient shore, And the red beams slant through the drooping wil lows, And write strange words on the greensward floor But far from ingle and glen and heather, From the purple hills of their native land, Wander those two, as of yore, together, Heart answering heart, hand clasping hand. No morn watching, through heavy tears, No more waiting through weary years, But eyes that in radiant love-light brim, And life-long devotion look up to him. WHO, AND WHENCE Not from Jerusalem alone, To Heaven the path ascends; As near, as sure, -as straight the way That leads to the celestial day, From farther realms extends; Frigid or torrid zone. What matters how or when we start? One is the crown to all; One is the hard but glorious race, Whatever be our starting place; Rings around the earth tho call That says, Arise, depart! From the balm-breathing, sun-loved isles Of the bright Southern sea, From All - fitlead North's cloud shadowed polo NYozaWer the one gladsome goal— One common home in Thee, City of sun and smiles! The cold rough billow hinders none ; Nor helps the calm, fair main ; The brown rock of Norwegian gloom, The verdure of Tahitian bloom, The sands of Misraim's plain, Or peaks of Lebanon. As from the green lands of the vine, So from the snow wastes pale, We find the ever open road To the dear city of our Gad; From Russian steppe, or Burman vale, Or terrace Palestine. Not from swift Jordan's sacred stream Alone we mount above; Indus or Danube, Thames or Rhone, Rivera unsainted and unknown— From each the home of love Beckons with heavenly gleam. Not from gray Olive alone We see the gates of life ; From Molven's heath or Jungfrau's snow We welcome the descending glow Of pearl and crysolite, And the nnsetting sun. Not from Jerusalem alone The church ascends to God ; Strangers of every tongue and clime, Pilgrims of every land and time, Throng the well-trodden road That leads up to the throne. Roasting a Man Alive! A TRUE STORY OF IRISH BURGLARS BY J. GOLDRICK I was visiting at my grandfather's, when a little boy, a long time ago. It was, I think, three or four years after the memor able battle of Waterloo. The armies then stationed in the towns and villages of the interior of Ireland, were not yet disbanded. A great number of the yeomanry were still under arms. The country was much disturbed ; farmers burdened with enor mous taxation; law, partially administered; Orangeism rampant ; while robbery, out rage and vagabondism of the darkest die, were matters of almost every day occur- renoe. My grandfathjr was reputed rich ; one of those Irishtfarmers denominated Mid dlemen, in good circumstances. His house was comfortable, a goodly-looking mansion of the cottage order of that day, substanti ally built on the roadside, one mile from Dromhair, in the hospitable county of Leitrim. The old gentleman was, at the time of which I write, about eighty years of age, yet sturdy and active, for a person so far advaned in life. His consort, who was not my grandmother, but his wife by second marriage, was nearly twenty years youbger than he. She was in personal appearance anything but a pleasing woman to look on, and was besides, cursed with a sour temper, always unhappy, sulky, and dissatisfied. So very disagreeable was she to the children of his first wife, that sel dom any of them could be induced to visit the old family mansion, or endure to call her even by the cold, icy appellation of stepmother. Yet, strange to say, I be lieve she liked me, in some queer kind of way peculiar to herself, though I must con fess to my shame that her cold partiality was never duly reciprocated. Besides the old couple, the other in mates of the cottage consisted of a mid dle-aged man of many years servitude, and a young girl, brought up in the family al most from infancy. It was in the latter end of September, a dark, cold, windy night, about 11 o'clock ; the old man and his wife had retired to their chamber, a sleeping room off the parlor; the hired man crept to his bunk on the garret, and in a short time was sound asleep. The girl and I were still up at the kitchen fire, telling stories of fairies, goblins, King's sons and daugh ters of good old Ireland in happy days gone by. She was a fine, fat, fair, bounc ing young blonde of about twenty-two summers, full of good humor, Irish wit, and vivacity ; honest and faithful to her old guardian ; devoted to her religion ; and, I really believe, as virtuous as a ves tal of the Golden Age. I was at the time eight or nine years of age,—a little slim, spindle shanked, white-headed, gabby kind of codger, immoderately fond of listening to tales of the marvellous, and as Winny possessed an inexhaustible fund of that kind of lore, and had a most fascinating way of telling her stories, it was `only natural to suppose that I loved . the girl, and at the time preferred her society to that of any other living being on the face of the earth. The girl's bed stood in a small closet off :the kitchen fire, a kind of convenient , Sleeping place, willed a pouch, - in farm houses of that day ; and as I -wrier had, up to this time, slept alone, and could not endure the idea of lying either with the old couple, or the hired man, it was not thought indecorous in virtuous old Ire land that a gaffer of my age should sleep with the servant maid, providing the fair damsel herself should have no objection. Winny hadn't the least, neither had I, and accordingly at about half-past eleven o'clock, we found ourselves in the warm pouch bed, with the fire raked and the lights extinguished. It might have been half an hour after we retired, when a gentle rap was heard at the front door. Who's there asked the girl, with , a kind of tremulous voice, giving me at the same time a slight nudge with her elbow to arrest my attention. A friend, Winny ; open the door,' was the reply from rather a genteel voice out side. I can't till I know who you are, and what's your business,' spoke the girl, sit ting up in the bed and ocmmencing to dress herself. 6 Make no fuss, Winny,' said the voice ; don't wake the old man, a colleen, I only want to hand in this story-book to the lit tle boy. It was sent to him by me, and in troth it'll make him laugh till the buttons fly off his jacket. Here, take it out of my hand, and don't keep me standing in the cold all night.' The girl still hesitated, but the tempta tion of a story-book, and one so funny; was more than a little boy fond of the marvellous could resist. I kicked off the blanket, leaped out of bed, and in two springs was at the front door, drew back the bolt, removed the cross-bars, and swung the heavy door full open. But horror of horrors ! instead of the smooth-tongued bearer of a funny story book, in marched six or eight huge fel lows, with guns in their hands and faces blackened! The foremost of the villains stroked me on the bead, called me a good boy, bid me not fear, and taking me up in his left hand as if I had been a young kitten, laid me back in the bed and commanded me to cover up my head, and keep my mouth cut, on pain of being instantly shot, if I gave the least alarm. Poor Winny ! she Wale bound hand and foot, blindfolded, and put to keep me company. The man on the garret was similarly dealt with, after re ceiving a crack from the butt-end of a musket that nearly fractured the poor fel low's skull. One scoundrel stood sentinel at the door with fixed bayonet. Another in the centre of the floor, with cocked musket, threaten ed to shoot the first who attempted to utter a syllable. Two others went into the old gentleman's room, while two more com menced to ransack the house for booty. Everything valuable that could be borne away was collected. Yarn, linen, bacon, butter, bed covering and wearing apparel were stuffed into sacks brought for the purpose, and piled on a cart in waiting at the door. The old gentleman was then rudely lifted out of bed, blindfolded, and placed in an arm chair in front of the kitchen fire. His wife was served in the same manner. He was then commanded to give up his money, on pain of being ROASTED ALIVE! I have no money in the house, gentle men, said my grandfather, except - ten pounds, which you will find there in the till of my box.' That's a lie for you old Dives,' spoke the leader. Where's the 100 guineas your wife there, and the mother of the lit tle boy in the bed, took out of the feather pallet day before yesterday, and hid by your order in some safer place,' continued the robber, giving the old man a rude shake that nearly jostled him out of his seat. ,No such thing, sir,' said my grand father, '1 can safely swear on the Bible, there is not a copper under this roof at the present, except the ten pounds already in your hands.' It's some place else out of doors then,' answered the villain, give us the where abouts, or take the value in good sound roasting.' You would not be so barbarous as to roast a poor old man of eighty, replied my grandfather, appealing to the humanity of a scoundrel, who had no more of a feeling than a tiger of the jungle.' Wouldn't I indeed,' answered the leader, with another shake and rode laugh, which evinced his determination to carry the wicked threat into execution, keep us five minutes longer in waiting, and may I be if I don't roast your old hide on that fire like a salt herring.' I have no gold or silver, either within or without my house,' finally replied the old man, whatever treatment you give me.' Down with his drawers, off with his flesh bag,' roared the miscreant, and suit ing the action to the command, the poor old gentleman. was stripped naked to his waist, lifted between four of the scoundrels and laid on the burning embers of the hot turf-fire raked out for the purpose. His shrieks were terrific ; the old woman dropped off into a fit ; the girl screamed at the top of her voice ; the robbers all gathered round the firo ; the sentry left his post at the door and dashed up the lad der, to settle accounts withAhe man on the garret, whose lusty yells were bidding fair to gather the whole parish around the house. In the confusion worse confounded' that ensued I found a chance to slip out, in bare buff order as I was. Outside the door I stumbled on the sentinel's gnu, which, in the hurry of his flight up to the garret, he had forgotten. I ran 'cross lots, with the fire-lock in my hand, and' when about twenty rods from the„house I cooked and discharged it. The recoil of the piece knocked me down, but after a minute I was able to rise, and heard the whole brigade of cut-throats flying in wild con fusion over the hill in the direction of Dromahair. The report of the gun alarmed them, and supposing, I presume, that an armed force was in pursuit, they precipi tately fled, leaving the horse and cart at the door, with all their booty and fire arms. When I entered the house I found many of the neighbors before me. The old man was untied and cared for. Next morning all the gentlemen of the county, with the authorities and doctors, were assembled. The guns were examined and found to be the arms of the yeomanry of the district; the horse belonged to the, officer of the company ; the robbers were the soldiers of _the village, some of them my grandfather's near neighbors. The ten pounds were restored, but for the credit of "THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPIROCEI WHERE LABOR COMIANDS THE GREATEST RIIWARD."-BI7OIIANAN. LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 12, 1863. the service the infamous affair was quashed The old man never recoved from the shook of that night; about ten months after he died, leaving one hundred guineas to each of his children, of whom he had seven then living. Ninny was bequeathed forty pounds, married an industrious hus band, and emigrated to America. This was the last robbery that came to my knowledge in that peaceful locality, and the last man I heard of roasted alive in the beloved land that gave me birth. A THRILLING ADVENTURE. Fourteen years ago, I drove from Little ton, a distance of forty-two miles, and, as I had to await the arrival of two or three coaches, did not start till after dinner ; so I very often had a good distance to drive after dark. It was in the dead of winter, and the season had been a tough one. A great deal of snow had fallen, and the drifts were ploughed deep. The mail I carried was not due at Littleton, by the contract, until one o'clodlr," but that winter the postmaster was very often obliged to sit up a little later than that for me. One day in January, when I drove up for my mail at Danbury, the postmaster called me into his office. Pete,' said he, with an important se rious look, there's some pretty heavy money packages in that bag,' and he poin ted to the bag as he spoke. He said the money was from Boston to some land agents up near the Canadian line. Then he asked me if I had got any passengers who were going through to Littleton. I told him I did not know ; 4 but suppose I haven't ?' said I. Why,' said he, the agent of the lower route came in to day, and he says that there have been two suspicious characters on the stage that came up last night, and he suspects that they have an eye upon the mail, so that it will stand you in hand to be a little careful.' He said the agent had described one of them as a short, thick-set fellow, about forty years of age, with long hair, and a thick, heavy clump of beard on the chin, but none on the side of his face, He did not know anything about the other. I told the old fellow I guessed there wasn't much danger. Oh, no, not if you have got passengers through. But I only told you this so that you might look out for your mail, and look out when you change horses.' I answered that I should do so, and then took the bag under my arm and left the office. I stowed the mail under my seat a little more carefully than usual, placing it so that I could keep my feet against it; —but beyond this, I did not feel any con cern. It was past one when I started, and I had four passengers, two of whom rode to my first stopping place. I reached Gowan's Mills at dark, where wo stopped for supper, and where my other two passengers concluded to stop for the night. About 6 o'clock in the evening, I left Gowan's Mills alone, having two horses and an open pung. I had seventeen miles to go, and a hard seventeen miles it was, too. The night was quite cold, but the wind was sharp and cold, the loose snow flying in all direc tions, while the drifts were deep and closely packed. It was slow, tedious work, and my horses soon became leg-weary and restive. At the distance of six miles I came to a little settlement called Bull's Corners, where I took fresh horses. I'd been two hours going that distance. Just as I was going to start, a man came, up and asked me if I was going through, to Littleton. I told him I should go through if the thing could be possibly done. He said he was very anxious to go, and as he had no baggage, I told him to jump in and make himself as comfortable as possible.-- I was gathering up my lines, when the hostler came up and asked me if I knew that one of my horses had out himself badly. I jumped out and went with him, and found that one of the horses had got a deep cork cut on the off fore foot. I gave such direction as I considered neces sary, and was about to turn away, when the hostler remarked tit. he thought I came alone. I told him did. Then where did that passenger oome from said he. He has just got in,' I answered. Got in from where I don't know.' Well, now,' said the hostler, that's kind o' curious. There ain't no such man been at the house, and I know that there ain't been none at the neighbors'.' g Let us have a look at his face,' said I ; we can get that much, at any rate. Do you go back with me, and when I get into the pung, just hold your lantern so that the light will shine into his face.' He did as I wished, and as I stepped into the pung 1 got a fair view of such portions of my passenger's face as was not muffled up. I saw a short, thick frame, full, hardy features, and I could see that there was a heavy beard under' the chin. I thought of the man, whom the postmas ter had described to me, but I didn't think seriously upon it until we had started.— Perhaps I hadn't got half. a mile when I noticed that the mail bag wasn't in its old I place under my feet. Hallo !' says I, holding up my horses a little, where's my mail My passenger sat on the seat behind me, and I turned toward him. Here is a bag of some kind, slipped back under my feet,' he said, giving it a kick, as though he'd shove it forward. Just at this moment my horses lumber ed into a deep snow drift, and I was forced to get out and tread down the snow ahead of them and lead them through it. This took me all of fifteen minutes, and when I got in again I pulled the mail bag forward and got my feet upon it ; and as I was doing this, I saw the man take some thing from his lap beneath the buffalo, and put it in his breast pocket. At this I though it was a pistol. I had caught a gleam of the barrel in the star-light, and when I had time to reflect, I knew I could not be mistaken. About this time I began to think some what seriously. From what I had heard and seen, I soon made up my mind that the individual behind me not only meant to rob the mail but he was prepared to rob me of my life. If I resisted him, he would shoot me, and perhaps he meant to perform that delicate job at any rate. -While I was pondering, the horses fell into another deep snow drift, and I was again forced to get out and tread down the snow before them. I asked my passenger if he wouldn't help me, but he said he didn't feel very well— I wouldn't try it ; so I worked alone, and was all of a quarter of an hour getting out of the drift. When I got into the sleigh again, I began to feel for the mail bag with my feet, and found it where I had left it ; but ivhen I attempted to withdraiv my I foot, I discovered that it had become en tangled in something I thought it was the buffalo, and tried to kick it clear ; but the more I kinked the more oloSely was it held. I reached down my hand, and afier feeling about a few minutes, I found that my foot was in the mail bag ! I felt again and found my hand in among the packages of letters and papers. I ran my finger along the edges of the opening, and became as sured that the stout leather, had been cut with a knife. Here was a discovery. I began to wish I had taken a little more forethought before leaving Danbury ; but as I knew that mak ing such wishes was only a waste of time, I quickly gave it up, and began to consider what I had best do under the existing cir cumstances. I wasn't long in making up my mind upon a few essential points.— Frst, the man behind me was a villain ; second, he had cut open the mail bag, and robbed it of some valuable matter. He must have known the money letters by the size and shape ; third, he means to leave the stage on the first opportunity ; and fourthly, he was prepared to shoot me if I attempted to arrest or detain him. I resolved these things over in my mind, and pretty soon I thought of a course to pursue. I knew that to get my hands safely upon the rascal, I must take him unawares, and this I could not do while he was behind me—for his eyes were upon me all the time—so I must resort to strat agem. Only a little distance ahead was a house; an old farmer named Lougee lived there, and directly before it was a huge snow-band stretched across the road, for which a track for wagons had been cleared with shovels. As we approached the cot, I saw a light in the front room, as I was confident I should, for the old man generally sat up until the stage went by. I drove on, and when nearly opposite the dwelling stood up, as I had frequently done when ap proaching difficult places. I saw the snow bank ahead, and could distinguish the deep cut which had been shoveled through it. I urged my horses to a good speed, and when near the bank forced them into One of the runners mounted the edge of the bank, after which the other run into the cut, thus throwing the sleigh over about as quick as though lightning had struck it. My passenger had not calcula led on any such movement, and was not prepared for it ;—but I had calculated and was prepared. Ho rolled out into the deep snow, with a heavy buffalo robe about him, while I lighted upon my feet directly on top of him. I punched his head into the snow, and then sang out for old Lougee. I did not have to call a second time, for the farmer had come to the window to see me pass, and as soon as he saw my sleigh overturned, he had lighted his lantern and hurried out. What's to pay 1' asked the old man as he came up. Lead the horses into the track, and then come here,' said I. As I spoke, I partially loosened my hold upon the villain's throat, and he drew a pistol from his bosom ; but I saw it in sea son, and jammed his head into the snow again, and got the weapon away from him. By this time Longee had led the horses out and came back, and I explained the matter to him in as few words as possible. We hauled the rascal out into the road, and upon examination we found about twenty packages of letters which he had stolen from the mail bag and stowed away in his pockets. He swore, and threatened, and prayed ; but we paid no attention to his blarney.— Lougee got some stout cord, and when we had securely bound the villain, we tumbled him into the pung. I asked the old man if he would accompany me to Littleton, and he said, gof course.' So he got his overcoat and muffler, and ere long we started on. I reached the end of my route with my mail all safe, though not as snug as it might have been, and my mail bag a little the worse for the game that had been played upon it. However, the mail rob ber was secure, and within a week he was identified by some officers _from Concord as an old offender ; and I am rather inc)ined to the opinion that he is in State prison at the present moment. At any rate, he was there the last I heard of him. That's the only time that I ever had any mail trouble, and I think that under all circumstances I came out of it pretty well. A NEW MODE OF BEGGING.—The Cour- Tier de Paris tells the story of a beggar who presented himself regularly at a certain coffee house with a clarionet under his arm. Will you allow me, gentlemen,' he said, in an humble tone f voice, to play a tune? 1 am no virtuoso, and if you prefer giving me a trifle, 1 will spare you the annoyance of listening to me.' Every one felt at once for a few stray coppers, and the musician departed with a profound reverence. This he repeated several eve nings in succession. At last, one evening, a young man, who bad never failed to con tribute to the wants of the itinerant musi cian, asked him in a friendly manner to give them a tune let it be good or bad ; he wanted to hear him. But I am afraid, sir, I shall disappoint you.' 6 -Never mind that, give us a tune any how.' But lam a poor player ; and I have a poor instrument.' No matter for that,l want to hear you.' 6 Well, sir, since you insist upon it,' said the poor man, 6 / will tell you that I don't play at all. 1 carry this clarionet merely for the purpose of threatening pee.. ple with my performance.' 10 — A captain of a steamboat on the Mississippi river, who bad fought in the battles of the Texas revolution, offered a free passage in his boat to any soldier who had participated in a certain engagement. One day a man claimed free passage, as serting that he was in the battle. He was referred to the captain. In what capacity did you serve V High private.' Stranger,' said the captain, give me your hand; I have passed two thousand and eighty-two who were in that engage.; ment, and you are the very first privatel have seen.' CITRENG A WIFE.---Mr. Dinilight, for the past ten years, has prayed every day that his wife would tumble down stairs and break her neck, or else die like a Christian in her bed. The simple reason for this is, that Mrs. Dimlight was fond of complaining, taking medeoine, and having protracted interviews with the doctor, all of which required money, and money Mr. Dimlight hates to part with. In fact he had much rather part with Mrs. Dimlight ; but that lady manifested no intention of leaving this pleasant world and taking up her abode in an uncertain sphere. Neither did she say that she should live, leaving her lord in an uncer tain state, and her physician in a perplexed condition. The doctor said she wanted rousing, and Mr. Dimlight thought that he would do something to start her, and get her out of bed. He hit upon a plan which he thought would operate in a satisfactory manner. Mrs. Roundwink acted in the capac ity of nurse to Mrs. Dimlight. Mrs. Round 'wink is a widow, very pretty and very oo quetish. For a handsome present she re solved to enact the part that Dimlight marked out for her ; so one evening, when Mrs. Dimlight was groaning, and threat ening to die, Dimlight called in the widow. She is going to kick the bucket at last,' said the husband, 'so you and I may as well fix things so that we can start fair.' Mrs. Dimlight turned her head and stopped moaning. Her eyes began to as sume an unnatural brilliancy. The par ties in the room took no notice of her. 4 Yes,' said Mrs. Roundwink, she is going at last. Now we can talk over our own affairs.' Mrs. Dimlight raised her form in bed, and sat bolt upright. She listened atten tively, and her eyes grew brighter. How soon shall we be married after she is dead asked Dimlight passing his arms around the substantial waist of wid ow Roundwink. 6 I suppose you will bo willing to wait a week or. two ?' simpered Mrs. Roundwink, lovingly. Mrs. Dimlight uttered an exclamation which sounded profane, and giving one spring, landed on the floor. You think I'm going to die, do you she yelled. PR see you hanged first ! I'll live to spite you—yes, I will ! Now out of this house ! (turning to Mrs. Round wink,) for you don't stay here another minute ! I can act as my own nurse, you good-for-nothing huzzy !' And from that day there was rapid im provement in Mrs. Dimlight's health. She no longer tolerates nurses, but one can imagine what kind of a life poor Dimlight leads. His version of the love making scene is not believed by the restored Mrs. Dim light. A THOUGHTLESS BOY PUNISHED.-' shall never forget' writes a correspondent of the Agriculturist, 'an incident of my childhood by which I was taught to be careful not to wound the feelings of the unfortunate. A number of us school boys were playing by tho road side on Saturday afternoon, when the stage coach drove up to a neighboring tavern and the passengers alighted. As usual we gathered around it to observe them. Among the number was an elderly man with a cane, who got out with much difficulty, and when on the ground he walked with the most curious contortion. His feet turned one way his knees another and his whole body looked as though the different members were in dependent of it and each other, and every l i one was making' motions to suit itself.— I unthinkingly shouted 'look at the old rattle bones !' and the other boys took up the cry with mocking laughter, while the poor man turned his head with an expres sion of pain which I never can forget.— Just then to my surprise and horror, my father came around the corner and immedi ately stepping up to the stranger, shook his hands warmly, and assisted him to walk to our house, which was but at a lit tle distance. I could enjoy no more play that afternoon, and when tea time came I would have gladly hid myself, but I knew that would be in vain, and so tremblingly went into the sitting room. To my great relief, the stranger did not recognize me, but remarked pleasantly to my father as he intro:Timed me, such a fine boy was surely worth saving.' How the words cut me to the heart. My father bad often told me the story of a friend who had plunged into the river to save me as I was drown ing while an infant, and who, in conse quence of a cold then taken, bad been crippled by inflammatory rheumatism ; arid this was the man whom I had made a butt of ridicule for my companions. I tell you, boys and girls, I would give many dollars to have the memory of that event taken away, If ever you are tempted as I was, remember that while no good can come of sport whereby the feelings of others are wounded, you may be laying up for yourselves painful recollections that will not leave you for a life time.' A HARD HlT.—The scene of the follow ing incident is in Western New York, in the town of D—, and the parties who are the heroes of it are two farmers named Jones and Atwood. Their farms join ; and, as is often the case, a quarrel arose about a certain side hill line-fence. The quarrel resulted in a lawsuit, in which neighbor Jones, having (as Atwood claims) sworn the most tremen dous lies on trial, gained the case. A short time after notice was given out that there would be preaching on a certain evening in the school-house. On the ap pointed evening the neighbors assembled. The preacher, having finished his discourse —from the text' " What shall a man give in exchange for his soul l'—invited any of those present who wished to make a few remarks on the text. Brother Jones arose and commenced his remarks by saying : What shall a man give for his soul ? How much is it worth I Can any one here tell me how much a soul is worth!' Before he could prooeed further neigh bor Atwood jumped up, and, with finger pointing to Brother Jones, said, in a shrill, piping voice, which penetrated every corner of the room. : 6 I know what one man's soul is worth. It's worth just one rod of side-hill!' MORE NEW AND INTERESTING BOORS. THE EARL'S HEIRS: A 'Tern or Demme Lys.

The punisher of Godey's Lady's Book, thankful to that public which has enabled him to publish a magazine for the last thirty-three years of a larger circulation than any in America, has made an arrangement with the most popu lar authoress in this country— MARION HARLAND, Authoress of "Alone," "Hidden Path," "Moss Side," "Nemesis," and " Miriam," who will furnish a atory-for every number of the Lady's Book for 1863. This alone will place the Lady's Book in a literary point of view far ahead of any other magazine. Marion Harland writes for no other publication. Our other favorite , writers will all continue to fundsh articles throughout the year. THE BEST LADY'S MAGAZINE IN THE WORLD, AND FOIMMTII= TUE LITERATURE is of that kind that can be read aloud in the family circle, and the clergy in immense numbers are subscribers for the Book. THE MUSIC is all original, and would cost 25 cents (the price of the Book) in the music stores; but most of it is copyrighted, and cannot be obtained except in "Godey." OUR STEEL ENGRAVINGS. All efforts to rival us in this have ceased, and we now stand alone in this department, giving, as we do, many more and infinitely better engravings than are published in any other work. GOOEY'S IMMENSE DOUBLE SHEET FASHION— PLATES. CONTAINING From five to seven fall length Colored Fashions on each plate. Other magazines give only two. FAR AHEAD OF ANY FASHIONS IN EUROPE OR AMERIOA Godey's is the only work In the world that gives these immense plates, and they are such as to have excited the wonder of publishers and the public. The publication of theseptstes cost $lO,OOO MORE than fashion-plates of the old style, and nothing but our wonderfully large circulation enables us to give thorn. Other magazines cannot afford it. We never spare money when the public can be benefited. These fashions may be relied on. Dresses may be made after them, and the wearer will not subject herself to ridin cnle, as would be the case if she visited the large citlea dressed after the style of tho plates given In some of our so-called magazines. OUR WOOD ENGRAVINGS, of which we give twice or three times se many as any other magazine, are often mistaken for steel. They are so far superior to any oth re. IMITATIONS. Beware of thorn. Remember that the Lady's Book is the original publication and the cheapest. If you take Qodey, you want no other magazine. Everything that is useful or ornamental In a house can be found in Ciodey. DRAWING LESSONS. No other magazine gives them, and we have enough to fill several large volumes. OUR RECEIPTS - - are such as can be found nowhere else. Cooking in all its variety—Confectionery—the Nursery—the Toilets—the Laundry—the Kitchen. Receipts upon all subjects are to be found in the pages of the Lady's Book. We originally started this department, and have peculiar facilities for making it most perfect. This department alone is worth the price of the Book. LADIES' WORK TABLE.
