Chilling my beautiful Annabel Lee:
So .that her hiuhborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In toit kingdom by toe sea.
The angers, hot half so merry in heaVeri,
Went envying tier and me
Yes ! that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sen)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
feut our loVe was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we
Of maov far winer tharl we
And neitfier the angels in heaven above,

Can ever disseVer my soul front the stfil

another, it seems to me that the least I can,
do is to bav for it." , .
.' MD money is not worth calling or send
ing for, it is net worth braving," was the
usual reply to this. " "I wish I could get
my own by simply calling lot it. xou
may be sure l would tnmic tt no nardsmp."
' "Perhaps not," returns Squire Gregory :
"but that doesn't remove the simple obli
gation under which every man lies,
to pay what he oWes the moment he has
the ability to do so. . the waiting-to-
becallod-on system, is grounded, say
what you will of it, in a secret' re
luctance to pay what is justly due. ' Now,
I don't call that a clearly honest feeling.
I know what It is I've felt it hundereds
rjf times ; and have to fight against it now.
We all love our Weaknesses."
It happened One dayv that Squire Gre
gory and his character for horn-sty, formed
the subject of conversation among several
persons, one of whom was the editor of a
newspaper published in the town.
"Squire Gregory," remarked the latter,
after listening for some time to what was
said ; "is, no doubt, one of the mod honest
living. Slill, I do not believe him to be
strictly so."
"While I believe-," said one of the com
pany, Hhat Squire Gregory could not be
tempted, in the value of a sixpense, to
wrong another by withholding what was
justly due, or by over-reaching in a bar
gain.,' Vi' ' .''
"Understand, gentlemen,' said the editor
to this, ''that I think as highly of Squire
Gregrory as any man in town. . But I am
"satisfied, that I can ut him to a test, as
well as every man present, that will show
a palpable disregard to the plainest and
most common sense view's 6f honesty.
The fact is, and its no use 'trying to deny
it, We all, as Burke sas, have our price.
That is, there is appertaining to us all some
Weakneif, or easily besetting sin, that leads
us, almost unawares, into acts by which our
neighbors suffer wrong either in person,
property, or reputation. Or, if not led
into direct acts, we are betrayed into omis
sions of duty by which others are equally
wronged." .
"Then we are evil of necessity," said
one.
"No, not by necessity, hill by nature."
"What is the difference "
"Necessity woiid hiake the state a fixed

calm interrogation. . ; a ;
"I have not been called upon by the col

years. The money has always been ready,
and would have been paid down had the
bills been presented."
"A thousand miles, squire, is a good ways
to send a collector for a bill of two or
three dollars," said the editor.
"True. But mine is not the only ac
count due, of course."
"No, of course not, much to the grief of
the publishers. But, i suppose there are
half a dozen bills to collect in our town,
would it bay to send a collector a whole

"It might pay a collector to come from
the nearest town, to which, in the course of

"It would cost him to come from the

Could he do it lor less.1"
"No. I think not."-

must deduct tWenty-Bve. pet cent, lor ex

When the face of nature is wreathed with
smiles and the heart rejoices in prosperity,
it is because some darling object is about to

that calms the troubled spirit that pours in
I lo lho heart of grief those consolations which
are healing. The chief aim and object of
life is happiness, and the pursuit thereof per

A time will come and it is not far. distant
when the cofTers of despotism will become
exhausted under the steady process of dis
pleiion, rendered necessary by the popular'
demonstrations which are every day growing
more formidable; and when it does coma,
ihere will be one great struggle between the
many and the few between the people anrl
their rulers in which the moral and physical
influences will prevail over the tyranny
whic-Ti has enslaved them jhrough centuries
of wrong and oppression. W ehalj heartily
rejoice whenever this hour of republican tri
umph arrives ; and U cannot happen loo soon
to be bailed with a aliout of sympathy anrl
succor from the American continent. BuffoU
