A PETITION -TO TI3IE.
Touch us gently. Time !
Let us glide adown thy stream
Gently, as we sometimes glide
Through a quiet dream !
Hoinele voyagers aro we,
... Husband, wife, and children three
. . (One is lost, an angel, fled
To the axure overhead!)
Touch us gently, Time!
We've not proud nor soaring wings :
Our ambition, our content,
Lies in simple things.
Humble royagers are we,
O'er Life's dim, unsounded sea;
Seeking only some calm clime ;
Touch us gently, gentle Time !
From Household Words.
WHAT MY LANDLORD BELIEVED.
My Bohemian landlord in Vienna told me a
story of an English nob!eman,as showing what
my landlord, quite in good faith and earnest
believed. It may be worth relating.
You know, Lieber Herr, said Vater Bohm,
there is nothing in the whole Kaiserstadt so
astonishing to strangers as our sign-boards
Those beautiful paintings that you see Am
Graben and Hohe Markt, real works of art,
with which the sign-boards of other countries
are no more to be compared than your hum
drum English music is to the delicious walt
zes of Lanner, or the magic polkas of Strauss.
Imagine an Englishman, who knows nothing
of painting, finding himself all at once in front
of one of those chariring compositions; pic
tures that they would make a gallery of in
London, but which we can afford to put out of
doors ; he is fixed, he is dumb with astonish
ment and delight he goes mad. "Well, Lieb
er Kerr, this is exactly what happened to one
of your English nobility. Milor arrived in
Yienna ; and as he had made a wager that he
would see every notability in the city and its
environs in the course of three days, which
11 A. A
was au me lime ne couia spare, ue Hired a
Hiker at the Tabor-Linie, and drove as fast as
the police would let him from church to thea
tre ; from museum to wine-cellar ; till chance
and the fiaker brought him into the Graben.
Milor got out to stretch himself, and to see
the wonderful shops, and after a few turns
came suddenly upon the house at the si?n of
the Joan of Arc.
" Goddam !" exclaimed Milor, as his eye
met the sign-board. '
There he stood, this English nobleman, in
his drab coat with pearl buttons, his red neck
cloth, blue pantaloons and white hat, trans
fixed for at least five minutes. Then swearing
some hard oaths, a thing the English always
do when they are particularly pleased, Milor
exclaimed, " It is exquisite ! Iloly Lord Mayor,
it is unbelievable !"
Mein Lieber, you have seen that painting of
course, I mean Joan of Arc, life-size, clad
in steel, sword in hand, and with a wonderful
serenity expressed in her countenance, as she
leads her flagging troops once mora to the at
tack upon the walls. It has all the softness of
a Coreggio, and the vigor of a Rubens. Milor
gave three bounds, and was in the middle of
the shop in a moment.
" That picture !" he exclaimed.
" What picture,, Eurer Gnaden ?" enquir
ed the shopkeeper, bowiug in the most ele
gant manner.
" It hangs at your door Joan or Arc, I
wish to buy it." '
It is not for sale, Eurer Gnaden."
"Bah !" ejaculated Milor, I must have it.
I will cover it with guineas."
. " It is impossible. "
"How impossible?" cried Milor, diving
into the capacious pocket of the drab coat
with the pearl buttons, and drawing forth a
heavy roll of English bank-notes, " I'll bet
you anything you like that it is not impossi
ble." "Your grace," replied the shopkeeper,
"my Joan of Arc is beyond price to me. It
draws all the town to my shop f not forgetting
the foreigners."
" I will buy your shop," said the English
man.
;"MiIorJ. Graf Schwemekopf von Pimple
stein called only yesterday to. sec it, and Lc
Comte de Barbebiche."
" A Frenchman !" shouted Milor.
" From Paris," your grace.
" 'Will you sell me your Joan of Arc 1" was
the furious demand. "I will cover it with
pounds sterling twice over."
Le Comte de Barbebiche"
" You have promised it to him ?"
" Yes !" gasped Ilerr TTechsel, catching at
me iaea.
" Enough !" cried the English nobleman ;
and ho strode into the street. "With one im
passioned plance at the figure of La Pucelle
he threw himself into his fiaker," and drove
rapidly out of sight.
On reaching his hotel, he chose two pairs of
boxing gloves, a set ot rapiers, and a case of
duelling pistols; and, thus loaded, descended
to his fiaker, tossed them in, and started off in
the direction of the nearest hotel. Le Com
te de Barbebicho" that was the pass-word ;
but everywhere it failed to elicit the desired
reply." He passed from street to street from
gasthaus to gasthaus everywhere the same
dreary negative ; and the day waned, and his

relaxed ; the morning found him still pursu
ing enquiries ; and mid-day saw him at the
porte cochere of the Hotel of the Holy Ghost
in the Kothenthurm Strasse, with his case of
duelling pistols in his hand, his set of rapiers
. i v - ... .
unuer uis arm, ana nis two pairs or boxing-
gloves slung round his neck.
" Deliver my card immediately to the Com
te," said he to the attendant; " and tell him I
am waiting." He had found him out. Luck
ily, the Comte de Barbebiche happened to be
in the best possible humor when this message
was conveyed to him, having just succeeded
in dyeing his mustache to his entire satisfac
tion. -He glanced at the card smiled at him
self complacently in the mirror before him,
and ar swered in a gracious voice, Let Milor
Mountpleasant come up." :
Milor was soon heard upon the stairs; and,
as be strode into the room, be flung his set of
rapiers with a clatter on the floor, dashed his
case of duelling pistols on the table, and with
a dexterous twist sent one pair of boxing
gloves rolling at the feet of the Comte, while,
pulling on the other, he stood in an attitude of
defence before the astonished Frenchman.
" What is this V enquired the Comte de
Barbebiche.
" This is the alternative," cried the Eng
lishman. Here are weapons ; take your
choice pistols, rapiers, or the gloves. Fight
with one of them you must, and shall, or abau-
don your claim to Joan of Arc."
"MonDieu! What Joan of Arc ? I do not
have the felicity of knowing the lady."
" You may see her, Am Graben," gravely
replied Milor, " outside a shop door, done in
oil."
"Heh!" exclaimed the astonished Comte,
" in oil an Esquimaux, or a Tartar, pray ?"
" Monsieur le Comte, I. want no trifling. Do
you persist in the purchase of this picture ?
I have set my heart upon it ; 1 love it ; I have
sworn to possess it. Make it a matter of mo
ney, and I will give you a thousand pounds
for your bargain ; make it a matter of dispute,
and I will fight you for it to the death ; make
it a matter of friendship, and yield up your
right, and I will embrace you as a brother
and be your debtor for the rest of my life."
The Comte de Barbebiche seeing that he
had to do with an Englishman a degree, at
least, more crazed than the rest of his coun
trymenentered into the spirit of the matter
at once, and chose the easiest means of extri
cating himself from a difficulty.
"Milor," he exclaimed, advaitcing towards
him, " I aai charmed with your sentiments,
your courage, and your integrity. Take her,
Milor, take your Joan of Arc; I would not
attempt to deprive you of hci if she were a
real flesh and blood Pucelle, and my own sis
ter."
, The Englishman, with a grand oath, seized
the Comtc's hand in both his own, and shook
it heartily, then scrambling up his parapha-
nalia of war, spoke a hurried farewell, and
disappeared down the stairs.
The grey of the morning aaw Milor in full
evening costume, pacing the Graben with
hurried stebs, watching with anxious eyes the
shop front where his beloved was wont to
hang. He saw her carried out like a shutter
from the house, and duly suspended on the
appointed hook. She had lost none of her
charms, and he stood with arms folded upon
his breast, entranced for a while before the
figure of the valient maiden.
"Herr Wechsel," said he abruptly, as he
entered the shop; " Le Comte de Barbebiche
has ceded his claim to me. I repeat my oO'er
for your Joan of Aro decide at once, for I
am in a hurry."
It certainly does appear surprising that
Herr Wechsel did not close in with the offer
at once ; perhaps he really had an afllttion for
his picture; perhaps ho thought to improve
the bargain : or. rtore nrobablv. lookinir unun
o x
his strange customer as so undoubtedly mad,
as to entertain serious fears as to his ever re
ceiving the money. Certain it is, that he re
spectfully declined to sell.
You refuse !" shouted Milor, striking his
clenched fist upon the counter; "then, by
Jove! I'll but never mind!" and he strode
into the street.
The dusk of the evening saw Milor in the
dress of a porter, pacing the Graben with a
steady step. He halted in front of his cher
ished Joan ; with the utmost coolnese and de
liberation unhooked the painting from its nail,
and placing it carefully, and with the air of a
workman, upon his shoulder, stalked away
with his precious burden.
Imagine the consternation of Herr Wechsel
upon the discovery of his loss. His pride,
his delight, the chief ornament of his shop
was cone: and, moreover, he had lost his
money. But his sorrow was changed into sur
prise, and his half-tearful eyes twinkled with
satisfaction as he read the following epistle
delivered into his hands within an hour after
the occurrence :
"Sin: You will find placed to your credit in
the Imperial Bank of Vienna, the sum of fire thou
sand pounds, the amount proffered for your Joan
of Arc. Your obstinacy has driven mo into the
commission of a misdemeanor. God forgive you
But I hare kept my word.
" I am already beyond your reach, and you
will search in vain for my trace. In considera
tion for your feelings, and to cause you as little
annoyance as possible, I hare placed my Joan of

.nrc mm iac nanus oi a skhiui artist; and 1 trust
to lorwara you as accurate a copy as can be made.
" 1 ours, MoUXTPLEASANT.'
And Milor kept his word, mein Lieber, and
the copy hangs, Am Graben, to this day in
the place of the original. The original shines
among the paintings in the splendid eollec
tion of Milor at Mountpleasant Castle.
I will not pretend to say, concluded Vater
Bohm, reloading his pipe, that the English
have any taste, but they certainly have a
strange passion for pictures; and, let them
once get an idea into their heads, they are the
most obstinate people in the world in the
pursuit of it.
Jfvexize Simplicity. A friend
following story is a fact :
says the
Two boys of tender years, who went by the
name of Tom and Jack, became members of a
district school in a certain iNew England town.
On making their appearance, the teacher call
ed them up before the assembled school and
preceded to make certain interrogatories con
cerning their names, ages, &c.
Well, my fine lad," said the teacher to the
first one, "what is your name ?"
"Tom !" promptly answered the juvenile.
"Tom," said the teacher, "that does not
sound well. Remember and always speak the
full name. You should have said Thomas."
"Now, my son," turning to the other boy
whoso expectant face suddenly lighted up with
the satisfaction of a newly discovered idea,
"now, then, will you tell me what your name
is?"
"Jack-Ass!" replied the lad, in a tone of
confident decision.
The teacher was tasen with a sudden fit of
coughing, and merely motioned the boy6 to
their seats. .

the citizens of Clearfield Borough and vicinity

beards grow long, that he has rented the building
formerly occupied by T. J. McCullough, Esq., and

Times is hard, the Barber is poor,
He requests his friends not to pass his door;
For if their hair should need a trimming,
Just call on him, he is always willing.
Never rough but always ready,
Jfe shaves for a fip and cuts hair for a levy.
Not only so, if that won't do,
He'll brush your hats, coats old and new :
He does the thing all up to smash,
' And when done he looks for the Cash '.
To conclude, he opens the door,
The Gent steps out. and the scene is o'er.
