THE JERSEY HONESTEAD::
DT RIM. J. IV. - ALLY/MOIR,
I fain - would have if I might choose .
, A mansion, such.a.s farmers . use,
Ofsound old stone, with hanging 'eves,
And casements clambered o'er with leavei;
Fair-but not fine, of ancient guise; •
There shadowing elms around should rise;
Fidl barns, clean stables—nor forgot
'Clear , springs, and dairw-bmg as grot.
' About the pile in thought, I view •
A spreading lawn of freshest hue ; •
And stretching back, in stately-. mien, -
A. garden, with its alleys green; •
Where every herb and every fruit,
mi t may a healthful palate suit,
shall grow in concord with eschtlower
That i raay bese• ern a Jersey bower. " - •
ThenLlet a rippling hmlok flow by
On Whose green margin there may lie
At intervals, a well-hewn scat,
'For pause, amid the noontide heat;
And here and there, as good may seem,
Broad willows weeping o'er the stream,
Or locusts, where, Hi balmy June;
The bees may hum their sleeping tune.
Such be the centre of my reign,
Whence to survey My fair domain; •
But reaching far on every side •
Ileadow and field in circuit wide,
And sombre groves; and thicket grey,
Where I may fly at• height of day.
O'er the enamell'd sward, let stray-
The herd and Hock, at food or play ;.
While thrift, and temperance, and care,
Shall turn the clod, and drive the share,
And sow and reap the Olden store,
Till winter dose the massive door.
Then, when long nights begin to bring
Around the fire, the cheerful ring, -
The crackling billets, flaming . high,
Shall send a gleam to every eye,
Of happy inmates round.the hearth,
Full of warm cheer and healthful mirth..
Here let the hoary grandsire .bask;
And grandame hug her wintry task,
Aud.hardp urchin plan his snare;
And c.hubby girl her doll prepare,
And John, with school-boy tone, rehearse
'tile 'newest tale, in prostor vers=e_
f.mls to the Jersey .yoeman free,
Such comforts may there ever be! .

. LITTLE PLOY, ":
OR, HOW A MISER . WAS RECLAIMED.
Ofall.the house's which 'Martin Kendrick
o,4eci, he used the oldest and . ineanest fur
his ownhubitation. It Was ,an old - tutu hie
d,,wn building on a narruw street, which had
aireatly•lived out more than its,-appointed
tcrui of .service, and was nu - longer fit to
'cumber the groupd.' But ihd owner still

weather-beaten, it. wo 134?. tin6i vmbleni of

Martin, the of i-oltintary
Tr.r.atiun, - sUellis in most cases fullows.9nly
ir. the train of tv - I.extrernest penury, had g;v
eli him a chtitn to the appellation. It !night
be somewhat inconsistent with his natural .1
eriarader that, with the exception of the one
room which he mcupied, the remainder of the
large house wasriett tenantless. After all it
wa's not So difficult to account for. He could
not bear the ide.a of having iunnediate. neigh
bors: Who knots but they might seize the
i,pportunity afforded by his absence, and r o b .
him of the gains of many years which; dis
trusting banks' and other places of deposit,
- he kept in a strong box under his own imme
diate charge., '
Martin bad not always been ; Miser. No
one ever became so at once, though doubt
less the \ propensity to it is stronger in .some ,
than in others. Years ago—so many that at
this time the recollection only came to him
dimly. like the taint sound of an almost fur
gotten tune--years ago, when the• blOod of.
youth poured its impetUous current through
his reins, he married a fair girl whose life he
had shortened by 'his dissipated habits; - and
the indifference and even cruelty to - which
they led...
The day of his wife's death the last rem
nant of the property which he inherited from
his father escaped.from his,grasp. These two
events, either of which brought its own ser
inw, completely sobered him. The abject
cundition to which .he bad reduced himself
vas brought vividly to his mind', and he
formed a sudden resolution, rushing, as will
sometimes happen,' 'from one extreme to the
ether, that as prodigal as his past life had
been, that which succeeded should be spar
ing and penurious in the same:degree,' 'until,
at last, he had recovered his losses, and so far
as fortune went, was restored to the same
posltion which he had occupied at the com
mencement of his career.
But it is not for .man to say ; `Thus
: Cu
?halt thou go . and no farther,' , --49 give ltim ,
self up body. and soul to one engrossing pur
suit, and at the end of a litriited time wean
himself from it. •
Habit grows, by what it feeds on. • It was
nut long before the passion of acquisition &c
-;aired a controlling influence over the mind
of Martin Kendrick:: He reached the point
which he had prescribed for himsel f, ' but it
staved him not. Every day his -privations,
stdimposed though they were; became more.
Pinching; his craving for, gold. more • insatik
ble• Long ago he had rut himself off from'
all friendship—all the pleasures and -ameni
ties of social intercourse.• He made no 'vis
its save to his tenants,, and those only on •
quarter.day. Nor were these 'visits of. an
agreeable, character te those favored with
them, for. Martin was not a merciful landlord.
lie invariably detnanded the • uttermost .far
thing that was-his due, 'and neither siCkness
horiaek of employment 'had the.power for
L.tri - oment to soften his heart or delay the ex
ecution of his purpose: His. mind was drawn
into itself, and like an nneultiYated field, was
left to all ..the barrenness of desolation.. Such
,is always the case when the man by his own
act shuts himself out from his kind, foregoes
their sympathy and kind offims, and virtually
SaY 4 , um sufficient unto myself.' . -
Martin had one child, a girl, named Flor.
thee. -At.the time of the death of her moth
er she was- but six years of age.' He had
I..)ted her perhaps, as tritte:-. - -as. it was in his
Power to love any one; and 418 long as she re-.

scillso entirely from human companionship.

The.young man wail not, to be baulked thua.
He contrived to meet Fkinence secretly, and
after a While persnaded her to forsake her
home and unite her fortunes with his—with.
the less difficulty, since that home offered hut i
few attractions to one lof her age. Her
father's Findignatioti was ;extreme. All ad
vances .towards reconciliation on the =part of
the nes‘fly wedded pair were received with
the bitternesii of wont which effectually pre
vented.; I heir repetitiOn. From that time
-Martin ;Kendrick settled doWn into the cold,
apathetic and solitary , existence which has
been:described abOve.. Gradually the love
of gain blotted out :twin his , memory 'the re
membeince of his children whom he never

he knew it not, and tho total want of interest

nearer the fire, as' if satisfied that this would
produce the additional - Warmth' without the
drawback of e3.cpens4. - • •

street, sending itravellers home with quicken

about them, On many a hearth the fire
blazed infioltly,. in composed defiance of that.
