And wo sat in the quiet evening, All alone, my love and I, And she played on her organ softly, And I listened silently. For she sang me a gay song sweetly, l ike a chorus of wedding chimes, Aud oh ! in the music ringing Came the thoughts of other limes. In a dream I was still beside Iter, In the summer wood and dells, And 1 led her on in the sunlight To the sound of village bells. And she saug me a grave song sa liy, That was Knft, and sweet, and low, Of the good book's golden promise, That wine and oii should flow. In a dream I was still beside her, And I saw her, yet ; the same, Though the promise was for others, And those good things never came. Then she sang me an old song softly, Like a sigh from a dying breath, And 'twas only the world's old story Of love, and life, and death. And I thought as f snt beside her, As I heard her gently s:n, That with such sweet, thrilling voices, The choirs of angels ring. Fo we sat iu the quiet evening, All alone, my love ai.d I. And she played on her organ softly, And I listened silently. 'HTkrr-lhnrme: taliiniT. t Xguod sdj'k v. In one of the small interior towns of Now Knglaml wlieic the sujierstititius of our ancestors still possess a I10M on (he pe ij lo, the facts occurred a i w years :,,. f -i.:..!. ! M,,Ce 01 the following is a true uarrative : An honest farmer ati.l liis family pre paring to celebrate Tluaksgiving at his wife's father's iu an aiijaeetit town, were hurried and confused extremely on the day preceding tiiat festival, by the multi- plicity of thiugn w!.cli must be done be- foro they could leave home .with safety, Tho bouse was to be "banked up," and the gleanings of the harvest, cabbage, turnins. and s:i fnitli nut in tho rnll ir . 1 ' t'lat ,'ie CStcriial CntratiCC thereto might be closed up for the fcast.O. llaviu- car- 1 ,, . .

An old ram, the horned patriarch of the flock of sheep kept on the farm, hav ing got a taste of the scattered cabbage leaves, unobserved entered the cellar and silently continued his least. The avenue through which he entered was immediate ly closed up, and all the necessary works and arrangements being completed, the larger boys and girl set off on foot iu high glee, the dog ruuuing aud balking before them. Soon after, the parents and their little ones, having put out the Gres and fasten ed the doors and windows to keep out ' . . , - . Ou the afternoon ot the day following the festival, the family returned home ac- . ,. . Cmpan:cd by Some young cousins, borne of their youthful neighbors of both sexes were invited in, and a merry Thauksgiv ing carousal was in full tide ot successful operation, wheu cue of the boys who had been sent iuto the cellar with a little two wick caudle, which gave just enough light to make darkness visible, to draw cider, ran back into tho room, with eyes glaring wildly, uttering the half-suffocating ex clamation : The devil is in the collar." "l'ooh,'' said the father, "you have only been Aigbtened by your own shad ow ; give me tho light." Saying this, he seized the caudle leav ing the candlestick fast in the hands of the boy, aod boldly rushed to the cellar s'.ai.s, but before be had descended half the steps, the large saucer eyes and enor mous horns of the ram caused him to re treat as much tcrriHed as his son, exclaim ing : "Sure enough, the devil is iu the cel lar !" The cood man seized the great bible, attempted to read, but the candle sputter ed, burned blue, and threw such a feeble light on the sacred pages, and the book tictuulcd so inuoil iu tiio hands Ot the reader, that ho could not distinguish Ol'e word from another. The little children tried aud clang tj tho uioUiia, tho girls I nestled close to their favorite beaux, and tk Whole house was shaken with the ogt- latitmofits Lu!f tlcnictiied inh.ibilants. ('no bright thought, however, occurred, and as a incs?oge was sent for the minis ter to come and "lay the devil." The parson, a man more celebrated for good nature, pioty and credulity, thau for talent and bcroitm, slipped a small bible into bis pocket, put on bis band and sur plice, so be bhould appear as formidable as possible to bis groat antagonist, and hastened to the relief of Lis distressed parisbioueers. Ou coming to (be house tli" reverend was bailed us a deliverer, and implored by at least a dozen persons at the same mcmeut to drive the devil away. Hat few moments were lost in asking that which no one knew, before the parsou pudicd forward as a leader, with the same penurious light, into the cellar, the most courageous of company keeping clo.e btniud li i lit . lie reached the foot of the suirs, the eyes of fire, nnd the shadowy jjiiUeof the enormous Lorus, magnified teufold. at least, by the terror of those who khtld thorn, removed all doubt if tiny had existed iu his uiiud as to the in fernal tattire of the being with whom he Lad to contend. The divine instantly fell on his kuc.-.s, and with uplifted hands, begau to pray in ' ever came under our observation, includ his tui st fervent manner. The rum nut I iug our own promiscuous casts, recovered undcrstauding the piouj man's motives, I in one way or another. Most of the curs but supposing by the motion of his hands J e have been the result of a wife and a that he was daring him t i a butting eon- 1 few children. Most aoy preacher will test, made a pass with all his uiiht at hi-' help a person to the foimer, while the supp .se I adversary, but, deceived by the I latter comes: in lime. The more of thcui. swelling dimensions of his dr ed ILl' slender ho ly of tlit M'it.st. and drawing hastily bark to renew the assuuii, booked ot:e of bis burns into the belt of the surplice aud pulled the Jiiest with him into the cellar. While thus in tho power of his vicfi - rious foe, be lust hope t-o tar a1 it regard ed himself, and the natural beuevoleuee t t'r diepositiuu burst forth in the cx- carnation "Hrethrcn, tako care oi" yourselves the devil has got me." This exortatiou was bet'er obeyed than any he had ever delivered from the pulpit his frieuds all flea and left hiui to bis laie. Among the company was a shrewd young farmer, who had, from the first, sir oscd the fiend to besome domestical:- ttii-.!, but being a lover of fun and wil ling to see a comedy, kept bis thoughts to himself and pretended to s mpathise with others iu their feais. He thought it time to interfere, aud, snatching a pitch pttic knot from the blazing fire, expressed his determination to rescue the preacher or perish iu the attempt. "Don't 1 don't I" shouted several. 'What does the devil care lor fire V sail another. "Take along the bible if you will go," suggested auothcr. Hut, unheeding the suggestion, and the manifestations of concert! for his safety, he pushed into the cellar, seizing the an imal by one of hU horns, and dragged the struggling ram up stairs, calling to the astonished parson, "follow me I-' The horned devil was led in triumph, followed by the ecclesiastic, into the midst of the company. A momentary silence and hang ing down of heads ensued, but the past scene wai too ludicrous to admit of Fobcr reflection, and loud peals of laughter burst forth from every side, during which the ram was turned out at the door, the par son absenting himself without ceremony, and the sports of the evening were re sumed with better spirits than before. LOVE OnTuJJ DIIAIX. This disease is conliued to no particular age or station. Wc had an attact of it wheu about fifteen. Wc hud it so severe ly that our mother wanted to give us par egoric. We recovered in course of time, tbee it broke out fully in the shape of a certain question to a certain lady. She auswered in a monosyllable of two letters. It brought us to our senses. It swept the uiist from our eyes like a fog before a hurricane. We looked for the eloul and saw a large white bird sailing ou a jP011 d. Thought we were very much the same kiul of bird with our wings clipped. A fcv days after wc told iur chum we didu't see anything in that flaunting I'or othy iJiddlc to admire. And we didn't.

The old dame sets up nothing more ludicrous or more inconsistent. Kvcrj one feels like lauliin at the poor old fellow's iufirmity. We once saw on old man who was suf fering from an attack of it. lie watt well enough advanced in life to have a dozen graudchildreu. We know him well. He was the playmate of our illustrious grand sire, who wasn't a uarterniasicr in the revolutionary war. If be had been wc would bare been better off than we are now.

WHY HE DID NOT DO IT- It Las long been known of (Jtteen Vic toria that on all her excursions aud ordi nary appearances she so regulates her dress ' Sit , as not to discourage habits of ccouo- my among her people. Ail such exam ples are tii-Me and christian : Mr. tSaniuel Siattet's habits" of living were often the topic cf remark among townsmen. On a certain occasion this subject was made tne staple ot ontte an . . , , . , - interesting conversation between himself; unl a few if bis intimate friends, when lie was a nine more thau fifty years of j ago, aud estimated to be worth half a! milium of dollars. It was in tho front of the bank, where they were accustomed to meet and discuss all sorts of things of in terest. At that time he lived in an old wooden bouse which might have coft two or three thousand dollars decent aud comfortable, it is true, and much like the better sort of houses in the village, ex cepting, perhaps, half a duzeu. He aIo owned a good horse aud chaise, the com mon pleasure vehicle at that period in many paits of New nglaud. His friends told him it was not right for a man of his property to live iu tint style that ho ought to build a better house aud keep u coach. Mr. Shatter replied muah in the follow ing manner : "(Jentlemen, I admit that 1 am able to have a large aud costly house, rich furniture, and scrvsnts to take care of it; that I am iiblo to have a eoach with a driver and a footman to attend me. Aud it is uot that I am miserly that I do not have them. JJut is a duty in me to set an example of economy to oth ers, aud especially to my children. The world is too inclined to cxtravigr.ucc. If the st!o you rerommend is to be consid ered an evidence of wealth, and I were on that account to adopt it, others not able might follow my example, in order to le thought rich Iu the end it might prove their ruin, while prudent and honest peo ple would have to suffer for it. Aud you know I havo cix boys. If they live uud have families, each will want to live in as much style as his father. Now, it I am able to live as you recommend, uiy property, wheu divided iuto six parts, might not be sulucicnt to support six such establishments ; besides, business may not online as good as it is at present. 1 wish to set a good example for my children. If they do net follow it the fault is not uiiuo." fi-oJ-A drunken fellow sitting on the steps of a church in Uoston, the cold wind blowing chillingly round the corner, exclaimed, "If heaven (hie.) tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, I wish the lamb (Lie) was on this corner." !jWhca is an iufurjt like a cannibal ?

Iu the year 134'J I was engaged in collecting outstanding debts due the Ap iifarftimi, a paper published in Llairs ville, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and my bus iness led me to the Cherry Tree, at the headwaters of the Susrjuchanna river.

And upca looking down the stream about four or live yards from the shore there floated a child, its cte little hand raised above the rirpliag waves, while its little head aud face bobbed up and down with every curve of the water. Without a luomeui'a ihjught I sprung from my horse a:;d iuto the stream ; a few strokes hi ought me up to the little 'innocent.' Carefully putting my left hand under it, aud hold ing it almost completely out of the water with my right, I made my way to shore and carefully gathering it in my arms, I laid it gently iu the arms ofits little nur.-e, but judge ef uiy surprise when I beheld tor I bad uot time to look at it before that it was a doll baby, with a china head 1 On looking around fur my horse, I taw him just disappearing ever the hill. 1 gave chase, but my dollies were wet, and I didn't overtake him until I had footjcl it for more that fevco iui.'cs.
