There main old Parmer i vrlto fired on the plain,
And kept a fine dairy—no matter hLs name;
He thrived and grew rich , though no matter how
'Tis said he was helped by Walton-Tailed Cow
His cows all produced %bendiest of milk.
Their coats were ea smoo th aa the softest of silk;
Ho carded them well-L-took very great pa ins
,
To bed all be could of fresh Brewery gra ins.
His cans were all filled,and be kept up the Sow'
How he did it, his nelghbors all wanted to know'
And they tried all they coulil,but never could find'
Though were blessed with& very Inquiringmlad'
For so many cans, from the number of ci:43,
Was a - ntarvel to them, when a part of his mows
Were kept until spring. and cold very high,
And none of his herd ever teemed - to be dry.
Ws. D. Lust.
They w o wedoe and they i wore they . would And
Out the way, ; • ' •
And they cudgeled thelt, brains both by night
At list they concluded their why's and -their
how's,
That the farmer must certainly shingle his cows
In order to solve and settle their doubts, •
They went to his barn and esaintned his wets;
To see it they all went direct to the pail,
And the found a great Cow with a long Iron-
Tail i
The milkmen scbo took ell the milk from the
farm
Sold thatmilk fool that COW would do blm much
harm ;
But the craws of the joke doesn't title the pans—
&syathe fellow la Boston who look& at the cuts.
Tho farmer at bat thought it high time to WV,
Said bed "hcer'd etch things as burnt 'sugar
and chalk,
And one thing was Bastin, to have milk nice,
It newt monid tinia - cr to doctor it brim!"
New the Iron-talled Cow coat but little to keep,
As all the farmers knew—when nothing is cheap—
And coma In so handy to till up the pall,
As she always gives down as you lift up her tail.
This wonderful critter keeps up the supply.
When all others fail, anti pastures are dry;
While thereat of the herd break out of the chase,
She never runs off, though she runs at the nose!
CMll=
Bow good It would be if the people could get
The lacteal stream, as it coma from the•teat
But there's one consolation—fur evil deeds past
The Devil wiil claim all these fellows at list.
This iroti•tailcd row must surely dry up,
As twice doctored milk hn't healthy to sup ;
And the greedy old farmer writs left in a lurch,
And they strained him out quick Rom the pale

the merry chime of bellb ringing out a
noisy welcome from church towers and

_interrupted by a
knock at&thik door.. Ile updned the door
and saw standing before him a man ot or
dioary appearance, bearing under his arm
something, the nature of !which be could
not conjecture, Jyrupt up in brown paper.
" Mr. Hathaway, I , " believe ?" was the
stranger's salutation.
" You are correct."
" Perhaps, if not particularly engaged,

"You are wealthy Man; Mr. Hatha

accumulating so much prbperty ?
" This is a very singular question, sir,"
said the merchant, who began to enter
fain doubts as to his Visitor's sanity,
" very singular. -I-suppotie that I am in
fluenced by the same motives that actuate
other men—the necessity of providing for
my physical wants and so contributing to
my happiness."

'gains are not all devote! ia"this"purpose.
This last year the over-plus has amounted
to five thousand dollars."
"I know not where von hare gained

in surprise. " However. you are right."
" And what do you intend to do with
this ?”
" Von are somewhat free with your
questions. sir. Iloweyer, I have no Ace

" For what purpose? I need not tell

"To these questions I answer ' No.'
But it does not follow...because yon have

"I most confess that this is a duty
which I have neglected. But there are
almshouses and benevolent societies.—
There cannot be much misery that es
capes their notice," said Mr. Hathaway.

reposed a slick man. By the side of it sat
a woman, with a thin Ariel over her

infant boy lay cradle not! far oft;
which a liple girl, allied Alice, whose

" Very. well ; you may tell him that I

The scene vanished as before—a change
=over the surface of the mirror.
the merchant looked, and to his
surprise beheld the interior-of his own
store. A faint light was burning, by the
light of which a young man. whom he
recognized as Frank Darell. one of his
own-clerks, was reading a letter, the con
tents of which seemed to agitatehim poirr
erfally.
The scene was brought to near that hit
could, without difficulty. trace the lines,
written in a delicate Aleale hind, of fol
lows: _
" Mr Resit Sort—Yon aro not probe
bly expecting to hear from me at this
time l Alas r that I should have such an
occasion to write. At the time of your
father's death, it was supposed that, by
the sacrifice of everything. we had suc
ceeded iu liquidating all his debts. Even
this consolation is now denied us. I re
ceived a call from Mr. Perry, this morn
ing, who presented, for immediate pay
ment, a note, given by your father. for
fifty dollart Immediate payment! How.
with a salary barely sufficient to support
us, can we meet such a change? Can
any way be devised? Mr. Perry threat
ens, if the money is not forthcoming, to
seize our furniture. He is a hard man,
and I have no hopes of appeasing him.
I do not know that you can do anything
to retard it; but I have thought it right
to acquaint you with,this new calamity.
" Your affectipnate mother,
4 MA ne DURELL." •
The young mat' _
darn the letter
with an air of depreSsion.
" I scarcely know hbw to provide for
this new coot ngency," said he medita
tively. "My salary is small, and it re
quires the strictest economy to meet my
expenses. I might ask for an advance;
but Mr. Hathaway is particular on that
point, and I should .but court a refuted.
But to have my mother's furniture taken
from the house—the whole amonot would
hardly cover the debt. There is one re
' source; but, alas! that I should ever
think of resorting to it. I could take the
money frorwthe till, and return it when T
am able. But, shall I ever be able? It
would be uo more nor less than robbery.
At all events I will not do it to-right.
Who knows but something may turn np
to help us?"
The young man blew out the lamp,
and left the store. The picture faded.
"I will dhow yon t nnnther pictnre,some
what differentfronitheiothers; it will be
the last," said the siranger.
The nest scene represented the interior
of a baker's shop. The baker —a coarse
featered man, with s hard, nnprepossess
leg aspect—was waiting on a woman,
thinly clad in garments more suitable for
Jane than December. She was porches
two loaves of bread and a few crackers.
There was another customer, waiting his
turn. It was a gentleman with a pleasant
smile on his face. •
"Make haste," said the halter, rudely
to the woman, who was searching for her
money to pay for her 'purchase; I can't
atop all day; and here's a gentleman that
you keep waiting.?
"0, never !Tad me; I am in no bur
ry," the gentlem a n said.
"I am afraid," said the woman, in an
alarmed tone, "that I have lost- my
money. I had it here in my , pocket; bat
it id gone'
11 Thin von mad .return the bread; I
don't sell for notbinel = ,
"trust me for once, sir. I will pay
yon in a day or two. • Otherwise,my
chil
dren must go without food to-morrow."
"Cant help that, You shouldn't have
been so careless."
The woman was abont turning away
when the voice of the other customer ar
rested her steps.
"How much money have you lost ?"
he intinired.
"It was bat a half a dollar," was the
reply; " but it was of- consequence to me,
10 . , I can get no more for a day or' -two ;
and how we are- to:live then, Heaven
knows."
" Perhaps that will help you to decide
the question ;" Esad he took from his
pocket a five dollar bill, and . handed it to
her.
"0, sir," mid she, her fart lighting up
with gratitnde, " - this is indeed generous
and noble. The blessings of thoser you
bavOlefriended attend von e
. .
She remained to make a few purchases,
and then. with a light heart, departed.
, The last pietnre faded from
,the mirror;
and the stranger, wrapping it up, simply
said : _
'• You hare seen bow much happiness a
trifling sum can produce. Will you ant,
out of your abundance, make a similar
experiment?"
Tlie stranger disappeared; and kr.
fintbanay awoke to findkhis dream termi
nated by the chime of the New Year's
bells. •
"This is . something more than a
dream,". said thoughtfnily.• 51 will, at

Where were displayed,in tempting array,
some find oranges.' He thinight—hay, he
was quite ears—that in her he recognized
the little girl who figured in the first
scene, unfolded the eveninz before by,the
niysterions mirror. Byway of 'ascertain.
lug, he addressed•her in a - pleusant tone:
"Your name is Alice, islt not •
"Yes sir'," said she, looking ttp sat-prig.
ed, and somewhat awed. l
"And yenr father is sick, is he not r
"Yes, sir; but he is almost well now."
"I saw you were looking at the oranges
in the window. Now I will buy you a
dozen if you will let me help you carry
them home."
The purchase was made; and the mer
chant walked along, conversing with his
little conductor; who soon lost her timid
ity.
Arrived at the littl; girl's house he
founi that he had not been deceived in
his preientiments. It was the same room
that he had seen pictured in the mirror.
The sick wan was tossing uneasily in bed
when Alice entered. ....
"See, papa," said she joyfully; "see
what nice oranges I have for you ; and
here is the kind gentleman who gave them
to me."
The merchant, before he left the hum
ble apartment, gave it occupants a timely
donation, and made New Year's day It day
of thanksgiving.
Mr. Elathawav soon found himself at
the residence of his friend Audlev„ who
gave him a warm welcome. "This is in
deed kind." said he. "The friendship that
adversity can not interrupt is really val
.
Mr. Hathaway now introduced the ob
ject of his visit, askyng " What do you
mean to do with Arthur? Ho was nearly
ready to go to college, was be not ?"
"He was ; and this if one of the se
verest trials attending my reversed ch.-
cumstancps, that I eta compelled to dis
appoint his long cherished wish of ob
tnining a college education."
"That must not be," said Mr. Hatha
way. "If you and Arthur will consent,
I will myself pay his charge through col
lege."
. " Mr. Hathaway," said Mr. Andley, in
a glow of surprise and' pleasure, "this of-.
fer evinces a noble generosity on your part
that I shall never furivet. You must let
me tell Arthur the good news.
Mr. Andley summoned his
,son; and
pointing to Mr. Hathaway, said: "This
gentleman has offered to send you to col
lege at his own expense."
The eyes of the youth lighted up; and
he grasp!d the,. hand of his benefactor,
saying, simply !'" 0, if you but knew how
happy you have made me r"
“ Mr. Hathaway took his way to the
store. Arrived there, he sought out
Frank Durell, and requested him to step
in the office, as he wish to speak to him
in private.
Your Salary is five hundred dollars a
year, 'I believe, " said he.
" Yes, sir," said Frank Durre% some
what surprised.
"I have come to the conclusion that
this is not sufficient, and I shall therefore
advance it two hundred dollars; and, as
apart of it may not be unacceptable to
you now, here are a hundred dollars that
you may consider an advance."
"Sir," said Frank Durell, hardly be
lieving his senses, "you cannot ez.timate
the benefit I shall derived from this gen
erosity. My mother who depends -upon
me for support, was about to be deprived
of her furniture by an extortionate credi- -
tor; but this timely gift—for I most con
skier it so—will remove that terrible ne
cessity. I thank you, sir, from my heart"
"You are quite welcome," said the mer
chant, kindly. "In future consider me
your friend ; and if ynn should at any
time be in want of advice or assistance, do
not scruple to cbidide in me."
"At least," said the merchant, thought
fully, "I harp done something to !hake
this a 'Happy New Year' fur , others. The
lesson conveyed in the 'dream of last
night shall not. be thrown away upon me.
I will take tare that many hearts shall
