About half past 11 o'clock on Sunday night, a human leg, enveloped in blue broad cloth might have been seen entering Deacon Cephas Barberry's kitchen win dow. The leg was followed finally, by the entire person of a live Yankee, attired in bis Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes. It was in short, Joe Mayweed who thus bur glarious, in the dead of night, won his way into the deacon's kitchen. "Wonder how much the old deacon made b" orderin' me not to darkin his doors again ?" soliloquised the young gen tlemen. Promised him I wouldn't, but didn't say nothin' about winders. Winders is jest as good as doors, ef there ain't no nails to tear your trowgers onto. Wonder if Sall'll come down? the critter promised me. I'm afeared to move about here, 'cause I might break my shins over some- thin' 'nuther, and wake the old folks. Cold enough to freeze a polish bpar here. O, here comes Sally !" The beauteous maid descended with a pleasant smile, a tallow candle, and a card of lucifer matches. After receiving a rap turous greeting, she made up a rousing fire in the cooking-itove, and the happy cou pie sat down to enjoy the sweet interchange of vows and hopes. But the course of true love ran no smoother in old barberry's kitchen than it does elsewhere, and Joe, who was just making up his mind to treat himself to a kiss, was startled bv the voice of the deacon, her father, shouting from the chamber door : "Tell him it's most morning," whispered Joe. "I can't tell him a fib!" said Sally. "I'll make it a truth then," said Joe; and running to the huge, old fashion-ed clock that stood in the coi ner, he set it at five. Look at the clock and tell me what time it is," cried the old gentleman up 6tuirs. li'sfive, by the clock," answered Sally, and corroborating her worJs, the old clock struck five. The lovers sat down again and resumed their conversation. Suddenly the staircase began to creak. "Good gracious! It' lather." "The deacon! by thunder!" cried Joe. "Hide me, Sal !" "Where cm 1 hide yon," cried the dis tracted girl. "O, 1 know," said he. "I'll squeeze into the clock case." And without another word he concealed himsell in tho case, and drew die door behind him. The deacon was dressed, and sitting himself down by the cooking-stove, pulled out his pipe, lighted it, and commenced smoking deliberately and calmly. "Five o'clock, eh ?' said he. "Well, I shall have time to smoke tnreeor lour pipes, and then I'll go and feed the critters." "Hadn't you better feed the critters fust, sir, and sm ike asterwards?" suggested the dutiful Sallv. "No smokin' clears my head and wakes me up," answered the deacon, who seemed not a whit disposed to hurry his enjoyment. "liiirr-r-r-r wlnz ding! ding! ding!" went the clock. "Tormented lightning!" cried the dea con, starting up, and dropping his pipe on the stove ; what'n creation's that 1" It's only the clock striking five!" said Sa'lv, tremulously. "Whiz! ding! ding! ding! ding!" went the clock furiously. "Powen of Mercy !" cried the deacon. "Strikin' five, it's struck a hundred already." "Deacon Barberry!" cried the deacon's better half, who had hastily robed herself, and now came plunging down the staircase in the wildest state of alarm, "what is the matter with the clock 1" "Goodness only knows," replied the old man. "It's been in the family these hun dred years, and never did I know it to car ry on so before." Whiz! bang! bang! bang!" went the clock azain. "It's bust itself!" cried the old lady, shedding a flood of tears, "and them won't be anything left of it." "It's bewitched !" said the deacon, who retained a leaven of good New England superstition in his nature. "Any how," he st'd, after pause, advancing resolutely towar 's the clock, ''I'll see what's got into it." "O. don't!' cried the daughter, aftVc ; tioraiely seizing one of bis coat tails, while 8UM1UHY, NOHTIIUMRUIlhAND COUNTY. l'A.. SATURDAY. JULY 1G. 1833 his (nithtul wif? clung to the other. "Do.'t!" thorused bjth the women to gether. "Let go my raiment?" shouted the old deacon. "I ain't af'eard of the nowers ol darkness." But the women would not let go : so the deacon slipped out of his coal, and while, Irom the sudden cessation of resist ance, they fell heavily to the floor, he dar ted forward, and laid his hand upon the door of the clock case. But no human power could open it. Joe was holding it inside with a death grasp. The old deacon began to be dreadfully frightened. He gave one more tug. An unearthly yell, as of a fiend in distress, burst from the inside, and then the clock case pitched head foremost at the deacon, fell headlong on the floor, smashed its fair proportions. The current of air extinguished Ihe light th" deacon, the old lady and S.illv fled up stairs, and J.e Mayweed, extricating himself from the clock, effected his ebcape in the same way he had entered. The next day all Appletown was alive with the story of how Deacon BarV'rry'a clock had been bewitched, and though many believed his version, sime, especially Joe Mayweed, affected to discredit the whole affair, hinting that the deacon had been trying the experiment of tasting fro zen cider, and thit the vagaries of the clock case exiiUd only in a distempered imagination. However, the in'erriict being taken off, Joe was allowed ti resume his courting, and won the consent of the oM p-nple to his union with Sail', by repairing the old clock, till it went as well as ever. A WEDDING. We derive this enrions description of a wedding in Brilany Irom a late volume of the Traveller's Library : "Soon after I came into this country I was asked tothe noce,' or mairiage dinner, of a miller with a farmer's daughter, and being new in such matters I considered it an honor, and accepted the invite. Had I been older, I should have known that, 'he. ing intejpreted,' it meant five francs, nei ther more nor less. At the lime fixed 1 went. The wedding parly had not arrived from the church, and there was only a large crowd of the invited hanging about. But within the house all was bustle. Three large barrels of wine, mixed with brandy; huge boilers seething and hissing forth sa voury steams; vast receptacles, containing, in unknown depths, puddings and vegeta bles, gave note of the coming feast. 1 en tered and made my obeisance to the pa rents, and drank the health of their child ren ; but their manner became cool came from the east, as sailor say. Something was evidently wrong; but for the life of me I could not find out where it lav. Per haps (thought 1) it was the wrong house perhaps the wrong time; but some screw was certainly loose, and that was all 1 counted for, and it may be the fashion to be cold iu manner, as in high places, so I passed on. Soon after, loud shouts, firing of pistols, and a general rush announced the arrival of the bride, and bridegroom. These were ushered in great state to the dining-room, a large barn, fitted up with benches and were placed at the head of the table, the lady easy and composed, the gentlemen red and awkward, as us'tal I then men'ioned lo an acquaintance the coolness 1 ha l noticed. What did you give?' 6aid he. Give ! I said, 4I thought I was invited lo dine here.' 'Quite right!' said he; 'but then you must pay for the dinner. We do not send a plate round that would be too bmad ; but we take it at the door from those who cnoite to give, and those who do not choose are turned out. Sturdy begging this, at least ; but it cleared up the mystery I had been count ed a fat buck, but seemed likely lo prove a thin one a disappointment too great to be borne. So under his ad ice I returned, and with a prop'T speech produced my five franc piece. The effect was magical all clouds vanished at tbe touch- the sun broke out anew, and I was handed to a seat right opposite to the bride. Never before did five trancs work such a miracle. The guests amounted to three hundred and filly, and but for bad weather the number would have exceeded five bundled. Large bowls of soup and dishes of bouilli were set fur every four persou, and with a long wooden spoon for each one. I had brought a knife and fork in my pocket, but not wiihing to appear singulat, I kept lh-m there; and the signal being given to fall on, 1 grasped my wooden spoon and set lo work. I, however, soon found mvsMlf dis tanced and dead beaten. Talk of ihe fas' feeding of a Yankee! Give me a hungry Breton, and I'll back lit in against the world. After the meat came great dishes of hatter pudding, smoking hot ; but, in spile of heat, they followed by the same road, and were speedily bolted, bating such portions as, in the hurry, fell between the planks or into a neighbors pocket. Wine, brandy and cider, of good quality, qualified all this, and made it sit easy ; and such was the eagerness to Mrinquer,' or drink with the stranger, pushing the glass against mine in the hob-ar.d-nob fashion, that ere I left, my coat had changed its color, and I had re ceived a baptism in wine. The wedding presents were then displayed : butter fash toned into baskets and boats ; hanks of yarn, honey, pieces of linen and other things, all of which : a'as for the sweet soii a nirs of affection ! would he turned into cash in the morning. To this succeeded dancing, in which Ihe saSot did wonders ; and by midnight, the bridal party being tiren, ana me guests ail drunk, the party aspersed, leaving bemad them clear rest due, after all expenses, of four hundred francs for the new couple to begin the world witb.

Below we give the substance of an article from Ihe Congtegational Journal, on thi f n tions people ; The existence of the Jew is the living miracle of the world. They are scattered and down Irndden, nnd yet, according to the nosi accurate statistics, are ns numerous n tb.ey were when they left the laid of F.gypt, the returns tnnrie to Bonapirle giving about three millions. Expatriated, ihey become citizens of the world ; and w herever tolera ted, they commpiice traffic end becomo thrifty. Everywhere they are aT home. They may be banished, but cannot be ex pelled ; be Irndden down, yet canuot be ciushed. Only iii the United Slates, France, Holland, and Prnia, are they fully citizens ; but in spite or British statues, the Russian ukase ami Tuikish curse, they prosper still. The cipat nnlions of antiquity, ihe Eavptian and Assyrians, the Roman nnd Saracens, ns well as the modern Turk nnd Christian, have attempted lo destiny them, but in vain; bile penal laws and cruel torture have on ly served 10 increase their number and rein force Iheir obstinancy. But 1 lie Jew exist not only n a monument and a miracle ; Jew ish mind has exerted a powerful Influence on the world.

Pu Ipr's Church, in Birclay street, wa born in the servitude of St. Domingo, and in devoted aitendence upon his mistress in her flight from bland, arrived in ibis city iu 1787. Here the farmer dependent became tho sole support of the unfortunate lady, and her most disinterested fiend until herdeath. The oc cupation of Ladies' Hair Dresser gave him admission to the house of lha influential families of that day, and bis good manners, unusual discrimination of character and high sense ol propriety, ensured him tho counte nance, courtesy, and esteem of all to whom he was admitted, and the confidence and friendship of many to whom the excellence of his life and character w ere more intimately known, All knew hi general worth, but fen were acquainted with the generous qualities of his heart, and with those principles of dis interested and gejiae kindness which gov erned hi daily conduct. His charity was of the efficient character which did not content itsuif with a present relief of pecuniary aid, but which required time and thoughl by day and by night, and long watchfulness and kind attentions al ihe bedsido of the sick und de parting. Thus gaodiiesa, springing from re fined and elevated piiaciple, and fiom a sense of reiigioc duty which never pertnit'.cd him to omit a mot scrupulous complianc wiih all the requirements of his faiih, formed Ihe prominent feature of his character, ami made his life a con;anl round of acts of k indues and sympathy.
