In the appended VIM, tat sketch of tbo coon•

upon.the old Cann again, the realer will recog
nize the peculiar genius of a writer wlnate pre-
Claus " Farm BaMule are worthy this addition.
The lint:sem from the Detroit Trayse, rind ex

and beneficient feeling which must always conic
over good hearts atuarad at thought of re. tuning
to what Dickens so beautifully culls " 'leaven's
fallen oister—llome."

I'm loose, tit Last, mid thank the Lor,l, rut goin,
hour to-d.tv.
I've somehow lelt uneasy, like, since first day I
come down ; '
It is an awkward game to play the gentleman
in town ;
\nd 'en, Sunday suit of mine, on Sunday
riglolv sets,
But when I wear the stuff a week, it somehow
galls :ma frets,
I'd rut her wear my homespun rig of pepper salt
and gray—
ni have It on in half a Jilt when I get home
I have no doubt my. wife looked out, as well as
any one—
As well as any Won= could—to see that things
was dour ;
For ttioneh gaols, when I'm there, won't set
her loot out doors.
S'oe's eery c ireiul, when I'm g me, to tend to all
the chores,
noll.ing prospers hall so well, when I go MT
In stay,
And I will put things into shaft, when I get
home to-day.
The mrarnin' that I come away, we had a 11 Ile
bout;
I ramly to:dt my hat an I left, heron: the show
was oat,
For what I s d.l was wiliest whereat she ought
to take otTmee; •
tad -he was always quick at words anl reoly
to commence.
3ut then. she's tirst one to sire up, when she
has had her say ; -
An I she will meet me with a kits. when I g-'
hone toAay.
My little boy—l'll give 'em leave to match him,
if they can ;
It's fan to see him strut about, and try to be n
man !
The gamest, cheeriest little chap, you'd ever
want to see!
And then they laugh, because I think the child
ref , embles me.
The little rove! he pots for me like rubbers
fur their prey;
ilo l! turn my pockets inside out, when I get
home t.. -day.
'Ty little eirl —I can't contrive how it should
itatipe t thus—
That God could pick that swan bouquet. and
fling it clown to 1.15 1
Sly wl e, Any, that lian'some face will smite

na‘milties
She'lftneet me half way down the hill, and hiss
me, any way ;
A..mi Ueda my heart up with her smiles; when I
g t home to-day.
If there's a.ltearen upon the earth, a fellow

if there's s Leaven above the earth, there's of

A Pleasant Story.

IT WAS A COTTAGE. Don't tell me that
I don't know. Haven't I been there to
gather roses and feast on strawberries?
No it wasc't a cottage oriole —there was
nothing; Frenchified abort it. It was
timely American, and harmonized sweet
ly with the delightful semery. No, it
it ido't a flat roof, nor a portico—nothing
at all of the kind. Bat. then it had rose
tines retuning a I over the windows, and
a hole colonies of wrens that made their
lie,ts a n d sang beneath its eaves. To the
r.g it was a Id of clover, red with blos
soms, on the left an orchard whence winds
scattered a slimier of bloom; in front
was a green lawn. shaded with some mas
sive walnut trees, arid to the rear ripened
a long grass lane through which tit.• cows

She pointed archly, with asmile, to her

Do tell me the story, I ahonld be de

Again she smiled, saying:
"I do nut know that you will consider

" You see, when Mr. Winslow first be
gan his attentions to me, I wiisn't at all
pleased. He was handsome. I knew, but
I had set my mind, very foolishly, upon
having a rich husband. and one that cu'd
keep me shine the necessities of work.—
'u I slighted and repulsed him on all oc:
easions. treating him not merely with in
difference, but with actual loathing ana
scorn. Such treatment one might have
supposed, would have quickly obliterated
his passion ; on the cattrary, however,
It only seemed to increase it,
About this time I formed the nconain
tance of a city gentleman, whom rumor
reported immensely rich, and whose in- -
ten e selfishness was veiled beneath a
manner of the utmost suavity. His at
tentions tome were marked, and not to
lie mtstakeis—and though he had not
spAen of love, he looked and ac!cd it and
lidieved bins.
It was in October I think, the atmos
phere was dry and co d, with night winds
—m hen, as we were returning from a
party, late ut night, I was surprised and
shot.k.d by the appearance in the distance
t.f a deep red light that seemed to climb

mind.
