" ) SECTS IS HEAVEN'.
BT IlltS. CLEVPLAND.
Talking of sects till late one eve,
Of the various doctrines the saints believe,
That night I stood in troubled dream,
I'.y the side of a darkly flowing stream.
And a "Churchman'' Jown the river came:
When I heard a strange voice call bis name.
"Good father, stop : when you cross tho tide
You must Icavey our robes on the other side.'
But the aged father did not ruiml,
And his long gown floated out behind,
As down to the stream his way he took.
His pale hands clasping a gilt-edged book.
'I'm bound for Heaven, and when I'm there
I shall want my book of Common Prayer ;
. . ti,i. i
j I n.ur hira again on the oilier side,
Jut bin ill fr.wn fiot.l on tha tide
And no one asked in that blissful spot,
Whether he belonged to ' Of Church" or noi.
Ihrn down the river a Quaker strayed.
Lis tlrcsa of a sober hue was made ;
"My coat and hat must be all of gray,
I cannot go any olher way."
! Ti'r.n he buttoned his coat straight up to bis
And staidly, solcinuly wadei in, chin.
And his broad-brimmed hat he pulled down
tight
Over his fore-head, so cold and white.
Rut a strong wind carried away Lis hat ;
A moment he silently sighed over that.
And then as he gated on the farther shore,
Tne coat slipped off aal was seen no more.
As he entered Heaven his sui. of gray
V'cnt quielly sailing away, away.
And Lone of the angels questioned him
Ab'at the width of his beaver's brim.
Neit came Dr. Watts with a bundle of Psalms,
Tied nicely up iu his aged arms ;
And hymns as many, a very wise thing.
That the people in Heaven "all round'
might Eing.
Rut I thought he heaved an anxious sigh.
As he saw that the river, broad and high.
And looked rather surprised as, one by one.
The Tsalms and Hymns in the wave went
duw n.
And after lilm, with his MSS.,
Ca:nc Wesley, the patt?rn of godliness;
Rtf cried --Lear me, what shall I do ?
Tho water has soaked them through and
through."
And thero on the river, far and vide.
Away they went down the swollen tide,
And the saint astonished passed through alenr.
Without the manuscripts, up to the throne.
'U!n gravely walking, two saints by name,
Down to the stream together came;
Rut as they stopped at the river's brink,
I saw ouo saint from the other shrink.
'Sprinkled or plunged, may I ask yon, fr'end.
How you attained to life's great end ?"
"Th-u, with a few drops on my brow."
'Rut I have been dipped, as you'll see me
now."
"And I really think it will hardly do,
As I in 'close communion' to cross with yon.
You're bound, I know, to realms of bl;ss ;
Rut you must go that way, and I'll go this."
Then straightway plunging with all his might
Away to the left- his friend to the right.
Apart they went from this world of sin,
Rut at last together they entered in.
An 1 now when the river was rolling en,
A Presbyterian Church wcut down ;
Of women there seemed an innumerable throng
Rut the men I could count as they passed
along-
And concerning the road they could never
r.gree.
The old or the new way, which It should be.
j Nor ever a moment puscd to think
That both would lead to the river's brink.
And a sound of murmuring long and loud
Came ever up from the moving crowd,
"You're in the old way and I'm in the new,
This is the false, nnd this is the true,"
Or "I'm in the old way, you're in the new,
That is the false, and this is the true."
But the brethren only seemed to speak;
Modest the sisters walked, and meek,
Ar 1 if ever one of theai chanced to say,
What trouble sho met with on her way.
now she longed to pass on the other side,
Jy0r fear t0 cr0s9 ovcr the swelling tide,
A Toica nrose from Uie brel!ircn thml .
"Let no one speak but the holy men ;
For have ye not heard tha words of Paul,
0 let the women keep Bilcnoe all ?' "
1 watched them all in my ourioas dream
Tni they stood by the borders of th stream,
I Then, just as I thought, the two ways mot,
j Iiut all the brethren wre talking yet,
And would talk on till the heaving tide
Carried them over side by side ;
Side by side, for the way was one.
The toilsome journey of life was done,
And all who in Christ the Savior died.
Came out alike on the other side.
Xo farms, or crosses, or books had they,
Xo gowns of silk, or suits of gray.
! No creeds to guide them, or MSS-,
For all had put on Christ's righteousness.

THE MAGIC TUB. OajfH(EBETlIE FICKLE.
.4 Romance of L'tml and Water, (ip.VA
very Utile Water.)
Gentle reader, have you ever stood on
the heelpath side of the canal oa one of
those niild January evenings so peculiar
to the cariy Autumn, and watched the
6ua rise from his gorgeous couch athwart
the Western sky,- and lisfened to catch
the musical irarble of distant coal heav
ers, mingled with the cries of a ragged
caual driver encouraging a pair of atten
uated calico mules ? flf you. don't re
member whether you have or oof, just
LuLc time to consider, and inform us
through the 1'ost Office, enclosing a
stamp.) It was at such a time, and on
such a spot that two youth" might have
been seen walking arm in; arm ia that
vicinity and ulo'j: that time. Need we
tell you that one was fair, nnd the daugh
ter of poor thought wealthy parents, and
that the otLer wasn't, being her lover?
Alter considerable time epent in reflec
tion, it appears rather necessary that we
should say, because you wouldn't tnow it
if we didn't, that the young mac had
seen but niuctcen Springs, yet did be urge
suit wi'.h the passionate ardor of one who
had attained the ripe age of four score
jear.i and ten ; and although his weight
didn't exceed one hundred and twenty
five pounds, he couldn't have plead more
eloquently had he weighed a ton.
The maiden sho wai fair. Tooth brush
handles couldn't oompare with her teeth
iu whiieucss, aud the raven's wing bad
no more business by the side of her glossy
curls than a stove brush. Can we wou
Jer that the young man swore be would
cheerfully catch the measles for her sake,
and express a willingness to have the
scarlet fever a second time to prove Lis
devotion ?
Alas ! the perversity of woman Al
though loving Lim devotedly, she replied
to these declarations by sitting down on a
stone and writing him a letter of intro
duction to the marines, to whom sho rec
ommended him to report that narrative.
Driven to freDzy (in an open hack) by
such trifling, Caleb for Caleb was bis
name turned so red in tho face that Le
tore all the buttons off his vest, and froth
ed at the mouth to such an exteat that
be split a bran new coat down the back.
Then casting a look of unutterable an
guish, through a pocket telescope, he
cried :
"Farewell, false one, forever I" threw
a double somersauit backward, and dis
appeared behind a board feoce.
Phoebe Ann she phainted.
CUAP. SECOND.
e .'eft l licebe Ann in a swoon, or
rather Caleb did. As soon as conscious
ness came I'btcbe Ann came too, and
then she remembered with a pang that
she had driven Caleb away. She called
aloud, "Caleb ! Calsb !" but no Caleb an
swered. However well other Calebs
might answer for others, no one but her
Caleb would answer for her, and be
couldn't because he wasn't in hearing.
Where had he gone ?
A thought struck bcr. (A coward
thought to striko a woman.) She recall
ed his love for the briny deep, which in
duced him when a mere lad to tun away
from Lome to drive on the White water
canal. Then his father, humoring his
passion for riding mouutain waves and
climbing giddy masts, procured lor him,
through his influence with the President
uf the U S. the appointment of 3d As
sistant Lock Tender. "What more nat
ural," thought the Thcobe bird, "than for
Caleb to follow his youthful passion and
go for a sailor?" Her resolution was
taken. (Beware of pickpockets.) What
was it ? We shall see.
CHAP. THIRD.
"WHAT !"
Before explaining the mezning of this
thrilling ejaculation, let us take a brief
review of doings at the period of our
story. Old Bourbon ruled France and
Kentucky. Gin swayed tho sceptre of
Holland, and Swcedcn was governed a

CHAP. FOrRTIt.
When Caleb left the fickle rioebe, it
was with the determination never to se
her more. lie would be a wandrcr.
He would land on other lands, and climb
foreign climes be would go and be am
ancient mariner. Filled with this despe
rate resolve, he put a box of paper collar
in hiu valise, and started for the river. A
gallant tug lay at the landing, and this ba
boarded, requesting to sco the captain. A
sailor whos6 voice was deeply bronzed by
exposure to the maintop mizxen gangway,
invited him to walk below.
When Caleb entered the cabin, Lo wss
struck with the singularly youthful ap
pearance of the captain. He was about
to tell him that he had come to ship thn
well, smoke-stack when the supposed
captain raised his cap, and a shower of ra
ven ringlets fell upon Lis shoulders.
"What '." exclaimed the lover, as
gleam of recognition flashed across his
brain, "Phoebe Ano
"Caleb ."
They rushed into each other's arms.
After an embrace, which caused the ther
mometer iu the cabin to rise 100 degrees
in the shade, explanations ecued. She
bad divined his purpose to go for a sailor,
and she resolved to thwart it. The Cap
tain of the tu:; being an aunt of hers, had
allowed her to be capta:n for the day, cc:l
chance Lad dene the rest. PLcebe Ann
was penitent, Caleb forgiving, and that
very day they agreed before a minister t j
share the tug of life together.
JUSTJ BILLING'S ESSA ONTO SffLNE
Hogs generally are rjuadripid.
The extreme length ov their antiquity
has never been fully discovered ; they ex
isted a long time before the flood, and hew
existed a long time since.
There it a great deal of internal revencw
in a hog; thare ain't much more waste ia
them than tharo is in an oyster.
Even their tails can be worked np into
whissel.s
Hogs are good, quiel boarders ; they
ulwus eat what is set before them, and
don't ask eny foolish questions.
They never htiv enny disseaze but tbo
meaz'es, and they never hav that but onoo
once seems to satisfy then.
Thare is a grate meny breeds amongst
them.
Some are a close corporation breed, and
some are bilt more apart like a hemlock
slab.
They used to have a breed in New Eng
land, a few years ago, which they called
tho striped breed ; this breed was in high
repute among the landlords ; almost every
tavern-keeper had one, which he used to
show to travelers and brag on bim.
Some are full in the f:ice, like a town
clock, and some are as long and lean as a
cow-catcher, with a eteal-pinted nose on
them.
Tbey kan awl rut well ; a hog thit
kant rutc well has been made iu vain.
They are a short-lived animal, and gen
erally die as soon as they git fat.
The hog can be larnt a great uienoy
cunning things, such as histiog the front
gate off from the hinges, tipp:r.g over tha
swill barrels, and finding a holo in tho
fenco to get into a ccrc-ficid ; but thare
ain't any length to their memory ; it L
awful hard for them to find the same hole
to get out at, especially if you .ve at a'l
anxious they should.
Hogs are very contrary, and seldom
drive well the way you are going they
drive most the other way ; tbi has never
bin fully explained, but speaks volumes
for the bog.
