The breaking wares dashed high
Oo a stern and rock-bound coast;
And the woods against a stormy sky.
Their giant branches tost;
And the heaTj night hung dark,
The hills and waters o'er,
When a band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.
Not as the conqueror comes,
They, the true-hearted came;
Not with the roll of the stirring drams,
Aud the trumpet that sounds of fame;
Not as the flying come,
In silence, and in fear:
They shook the depths of the desert's gloom
With their hymns of lofty cheer.
Amidst the storm they sang,
. And the stars heard and the sea;
And the sounding isles of the dim woods rang
To the anthem of the free.
The ocean eagle soared
From his nest by the white wave's foam;
And the rocking pines of the forrest roared:
This was their welcome home.
What sought they thus afar?
Bright jewels of the mine ?
The wealth of seas? the spoil of war?
They sought a faith's pure shrine.
Ay, call it holy ground,
The soil where first they trod !
They left unstained, what there tbey found:
Freedom to worship God !
A Cand.".''a'te t- .'.'embership.
BT A. JACK, ESQ.
Old Steve,' or 'lying Stevens,' as he was
familiarly called, by virtue of a strong original
genius aud an indclatigable perseverance and
application, had acquired the reputation of
being the gre atest liar that ever existed in the
State of- Whenever he made his appea
rencj, therefore, at muster or training, he was
sure to be surrounded by a host of eager iist
ners. lie greatly excelled the renowned Mun
chausen, who simply tol J extravjgant stories,
and sometiuiesblundered on the truth. Steve'
on the other hand, never told a word of truth,
even by mist ike, in his life, and lied circum
stancially and in evry particular. In a short
time it came to him as natural as eating and
drinking, or rather as beathing; for he had not
only lied to listners, but even when he had no
other person to talk to, he would tell lies to
himself, just to keep his hand in. This fact
wa3 ascertained beyond any doubt by his de
nying it in the most solemn m anner when some
body accused him of the practice.
It was Mr. Steven's misfortune, at onz time,
to lose a good deal of money on a horse race.
This made him feel uucommouly serious, so
he went to a camp meeting, which was held a
bout five miles irom his residence: to see if
he could not makeup a little by 'shaking prop'
with the boys. They happened however to be
too much fur him that time, and he was com
pletely clearel ou'. This made him it possi
ble feel more serious than ever, and as there
happened to be a powerful preacher there, who
could make himself heaid at the distance of a
mile, he thought he would turn over a new
leaf at once. When he got home, therefore,
the first thing he did was to send for the min
ister. The worthy man came, and to his ex
treme amazement, found that Stevens wanted
to join the Church!
I have no hesitation in laying your propo
sition before the brethern,' said the old man
trying to smother a L-.ugh.
'Of course you haint,' responded Steve,
with great confidence.
And if you give satisfactory evidence of a
mendmeut, Mr. Stevens,' continued the min
ister, emphasizing the word, 'they might take
you on probation, at any rate, we have a mee
ting to-night, and I cm let you know to-morrow.'
Probation be d dogged !' ejaculated Stove,
3 the minister hastily retreitel; why em't
they let me join at ones while I feel like it'
Tae proposition as might hive been ex
pected, created a real sensation. There was
hardly amemberof the church, male or female,
who had not, some time or other, been vic
timized by Steve's slanderous tongue, and they
could a irily bear his name with patience.
Some of them went so far as to say that if he
joined, they would leive, and that settled the
matter, for they were among the forehanded
members who could afford to epeak out, be
cause the church could not afford to loose
them.
However, to avoid any trouble with an un.
scrupulous fellow like Steve, it was resolved
to break the matter to him as gently as possi
ble. Two of the nijst respectable men in the
church wero appointed to call upou him, and it
was generally understood that auch was their
known mildness of disposition thit evrey pos
sible excuse consistent with truth would be
made for not receiving him.
The rest of the story must be told in Steve's
own words.
When old Deaken Peabody came a'ong, 1
sot in the back door whitlin' a hoehandle, and
I hope to sutler if I wasn't mad enough to rare
right up. A cousin of my wife's, whose sister
was a member, had come over airly and told
us all a'out it.'
Good mornin', Mr. Stevens says the old
hypocrite, with a face as long as a yard of
pump-water.
I said nothin', but kept on a whitlin'.
I came down to see you this morning,' says
he. ' -
Well, says I how do you like my looks. ?'
Oh,' says he, 'what I mean is, that I came
. down to labour with you.'
Work away, then, why don't you?' was all
that he got out o'me.
But, Mr. Stevens,' said he, very solemnly,
the church sent me down here to talk with
yon a minute. ! ' -
'Well, you've been talkin' for more'n five
minutes, Deaken Peabody,' says I, and you've
said nothin' yet; now, when are you goin' to
begin?'
The old Israelite looked mad enuffto bite
my head off at a snap, but thought it best to
keep cool ,so he drew a long breath and went
on:
'Nobody wants to hurt your feelings or make
any trouble; Mr. Stevens, but the chureh
have come to the conclusion, that, perhaps,
on the whole, under the circumstances, and in
view of evrything it might possibly be best all
around, and taking all things into considera
tion, for you not to be hasty in applying, jist
at present. They think on mature reflection
that it might be as well if you'd couclude
to postpone it a little while, say for a year or
eighteen months.'
They dew ! Wall, now, D3acon what makes
them think so ? The church ain't full, is it ?'
This was a hard question. The old srirpint
knew very well that it woulden't answer to
say he didn't know for he knew fast enufT
and knsw that I knew he did. So savs he-
.Mr. Stevens, I'm sorry that you are so riled
about It you've no occasion I did not come
to offend you, but you know as well as I do
why the church don't accept you.'
If I knew I woulden't ask you to tell me,
Mr. Peabody
Wall, says he, 'don't you know what large
stories you'r in the habit of tellin'.
Who says I tell large Bto-. ies ?' says I, it
ain't untruth, and you can't prove it aiu't.
Now, ain't it a shame, Deacon, for you to go
round dcandelizen' a reigLlcr tl at vpy ?
What story did you ever hear that wasn't true?
Come lay your finger on the first story, and I
won't say another word.'
Why, there's so many on 'em,' answered
the Deacon, 'that it's a'most impossible to spe
cify any one in particular. But now I thiuk
on it: donrt you remember that story you told
about your father's bein' killed by a bear ?'
'My father's bein' killed by a bear ?' says I
ther it is now ! That is just the way fclks
He about me ! It's all untruth like the rest on
'em. and you ought to be ashamed Deacon
Peabody, to be runnin' round tellin' things
that ain't so !'
Well,' said he pretty short, 'you've made
that 'ere observation about often enuff, if you
didn't say your father was killed by a bear,
what was it you did siy ?'
'I'll tell you, I slid that father was one of
the first men to bring sheep into this ere town,
and that is no story, is it ?'
No.' said he it aint.'
'And one d ly I s lid that he lost oie of t'lem"
'ere sheep in the woods; and that is likely il
it ain't true and when he was looking for it.
I said he came across a bear. The bear grow
led at did, he hollored at the bear, and finally
the beast came at him, aud tore all his insides
ont, and then your father, Deacon Peabody
who was a respectable man, sir, and never
wonia agono auouuown sc inueuzen nisneign-
bor your father heard my father holler, and
came up, and seeing how matters stood, ran
for the doctor- When the doctor came, the
fust thing he did was to catch a sheep and cut
ts insides out, and put them in the place of
dad's and I never said did was killel by a
bear! No, sir. I told the naked truth I said
he grew as well as ever he was, esc?pt that he
hankered after hay all the winter and had wool
enough grown to make him an over co3t in
the spring. You don't call that a large story
I Lope. If you don't let a feiler 'ine the
church because he tells the truth, you won't
find many decent m ;ni?iers, I guess !'
The old man riz right straight up, and
walked away without say in' a word. What he
thought I never coul 1 learn, for the old chris
tian hain't never opened his head tome since.
The Fort Smith Herald records the follow
ing:
The other day the sed ite clerk of our court
was surprised by a marriage, in his presence
of a couple who walked into his offce. He
was sitting at his desk busily engaged in wri
ting, when a gentlemm from the country, aged
about fifty, aud a lady not far behind in this
respect, entered the office, and, after the u-
sual salutation, the man asked him a few ques
tions about the law of contrac t, and wished to
know what marriage was considered, leg illy
The clerk informed him that it wis eiteemee
a civil contract, when the old gentleman pulled
out a paper, read over a short agreement made
by the parties before him to live together their
natural lives and to have and to hold all things
in common for their mutual benefit, asked the
clerk to record it, paying over the usual fee.
and both deliberately walked ofF, letving the
clerk in utter astonishment, and pretty well
confounded by what be had never seen before
a marriage without a parson, judge, or
squire.
'Morning relief train,' soliloquised Mrs. Pat-
tington, as she sat in one of the railroad cars,
and gazed on the tie'eet which she had a short
time previously purchased at the depot.
'Morning relief train; I s'pose that must be the
train that starts zvery morning at 8 e'clock to
pick up the poorcreters on the track that have
been mastic ited the night previous. Dear
me, when will people learn to use circumcision
and c ire,' and the old lady siged in bitterness
of spirit.
. CJ7"A friend of ours, who was a few miles
in the country yestcrd ly, rl itss the follow
ing: A mtlvJ or so Irom town he met a boy on
horseback, crying with the cold. .
' Why don't you get down and L;ad the horse?
said our friend, "that's the way tokeep warm.'
It's a b-b-borroyed horss, and I'll ride him
if I freeze."
K7 Man is an imitative animal," as the ape
sail to the daniy.
"My tail is ended," as the tadpole said when
he turned into a bull-frog.
. A Good Anecdote. We heard the other
day a good on? of JoLa Check, who always had
his eyes cocked both ways for justice, and per
haps too Sunday. It seems he had fined an
Irishman, who having used a little too much
of the crayther, was foolish enough to let the
crayther use him. - Pat on leaving the office
met a friend to whom he held forth
'By jabers, and I was fined, Martin ?'
Ab, who fined you now V
That's tellin' just. 'Twas a mon in there
j who's cither a justice of peace or peace of
justice and I don't know which; and he's left
handed in both eyes.'
tTT-'Look 'ere,' said a tipsy iniividual who
was hanging by a lamp post,Look 'ere, didn't
you know you'd no right to go by in that way?
Why not, my friend V nsked the person ad
dressed, who recognised in the 'tight 'un' an
old acquaintence.
'Because hie it's agin the law.'
Against the law ?'
'Why you used to know Bill Nelson, when
he was a hie highly different individual to
what he now is ; and there's a big law against
passing an altered Bill !'
d?"A bachelor friend of ours, passing up
street the other day, picked up a thimble.
lie stood for a moment nicditatinr on the
probable owner, when pressing it to his lips
he exclaimed
"Oh, that it were the fair lips of the wearer!
Just as he had finished, a big fat ugly, black
wench, looked out of an upper window, and
said ,., . - , .... .. ..
"Boss jis please to frow dat fimble in de en
try, I jis drip it,"
Our friend x fainted.
C7""Why do you set your coffee on the

Yankee E.nteri-kise. A Yankee in Ilindos-
tan, being out of buisness and not finding mon
ey to support him among the Missionaries
without work, male a proposition to the prop
er authorities to diuw the Car of Juggernaut
by steam.
QoA Yankee and Southerner were playing
poke on a steamboat.
'I haven't seen an ace for some time,' re-
ma-J;ed the Souther."
Wall, I guess you haint,' said the Yankee,
'but I can tell you wnere they are, one of them
is up your coat sleeve there, and the other
three are in the lop of my boots.'
'Does your arm pain you sir !' asked a lady
of a gentleman who had seated himself near
her in a mixed assembly, and thrown his arm
across the bazk of her chair and touched her
neck.
Xo miss it don't, but why do you as'i ?'
'I noticed it was out of place, iir,that'8 allj'
' The arm was removed.

&c, will soou be given over to the hands of
the boys of the present age? Believe it, and
'ook abroad upon the inheritance, and get rea-
dy to enter upon your duties.
A little boy having been much praised for
his quickness of reply, a gentleman observed.
when c'uldera were so bright in their youth'

"What a very sensible Loy you must have
been sir, then," repliel the c!iild.
EIS' My son, would you suppose that the
Lord's Prayer could be engraved in a spaca no
larger than the area of half a dime?' 'Well,
yes, father, if a half a dime is as large in cverv
ady's eye as it is in yours, I think there
would be no difficulty in getting it on about
four times.'
Too Old. The Sunday Atlas, in a fit of rev
olutionary enthusiasm s-iys "Hurrah for the
girls of 7G !" "Thunder," cried a Xew Jersy
Whig, that s too d trnjj old. Xo-Xo "Hur
rah for the gir'.s of 17." The Xew Jersy Whig
got al! to shout with him, we are told, and
the old woman about his ears.

when the little fellow called out, "Oh pi! therj

On3 of the German Almanacs, remarks that

Aye, aye, sir, but what shall I tell him if
