A Tale of Love imd IoI5t8cs.
Towards the lr st of thoummerof 1X40,
a lad of prcpo.s.se.s.-ii.g appearance entered
the beautiful town of ii , si'uated at
the loot of Seneca Lake, near the centre
of that State. He had traveled iroui the
We-tcrn part of Ohio where his father, a
widower, had died from one of those ma
lignant levers so common in newly settled
countries, while overseeing the cultiva
tion of a large tract of laud, in order to
regain a iV.i tune lost during the diaattrous
speculations of lidd.
Ueir:g an oulvson, and left among stran
gers, after the death of his father, (Jeorgc
Wentworth resolved ?" leave Ohio,

that chuuee might offer. lie had
passed through the several towns and vil
lages en his route, without meeting any
thing to attract his al tei.tion, till reaching
; . This hue town, with its lovely lako
and pleasant scenery, struck his fancy-, so
he determined to obtain employment if
possible, and make its his future home

the half masted ilag. A portion of the
opposition party, were grouped a little
in the. rear of tho main body began to jeer
and joke about tho apparently bad omen,
to the evident discomfiture of their oppo
nents. At length Judge S , edi'or and pub
lisher of the G Journal, then a candi
date "for Congress, offered f.fty dollars to
any person who would climb the ttaff and
drav.- the cord through the wheel. Tat
most silence reigned for several minutes,
but 110 one advanced to make the daring
tri"Yill nobody volunteer?" shouted the
Judge, strongly excited, as a peal of laugh
ter went up from the ranks of the opposi
tion. ,.
The chuckle had scarcely died away,
Uowever, before George with his cap and
his shoes off, stepped before the Judge,
and with a confident look exclaimed,
"Yes, sir, I'll climb it I"
"Vou, my lad ; are you strong enough!
"Oh, yes, sir; 1 am used to climbing.''
"Then go ahead, my little Spartan,"
said the Judge, at the same time piviug
hitu an encouraging pat on the shoul
der. Steadily, hand over hand, his feet clutch
in the pole in a manner that proved him
tobe an expert climber, George made
his way to the very top of the staff, which

The cheers that now r.-nt. tho air were
Icrriilic everyh::

joined in with one universal shout.
After the excitement had boniewhat
subsided, Judge S looked upon the hoy
with admiration, and then ted-: out his
jHiCk.ct-book to ray the 'i"oinis'- I reward.
Ucorire noticed the action, and exclaim

George. "I owe you now a thousand times i
more than I can ever repay, and I am too j
hurpy in being able to render even this ;
slight service. '
The lovely Ida could say nothing, her
heart was overflowing, hut she gazed upon
her preserver with an expression that told
volumes. Her father even observed her
earnest, loving glance, and began to guess
the true state of affairs. He was not pre
pared for it, and in silence turned the boat
toward the shore. They reached home
with feelings far different than those with
which thev had started
The following morning George received I

His heart beat, wildly what can it mean? j
The Judge had determined to put him
to a severe test. As soon as George entered

cause of young Wentwuith's leaving his
patron's mand.m, but their innuendoes
were unheeded. Jcorgcs now devoted
himself wholly to busings and tu ly. His
brow wore a more thoughtful expression
and his cheek grew- a shade paler. The
.Judge acted towards him in a straightfor
ward, fr.mk manner, yet never addressed
him in the kind, fatherly tone- as had ben
Ids wont before the incident that occurred
on the lake, if he chanced to meet Ida
in his walks, a friendly glance and a no 1
were ail thai passed; slid he icit that his
looks betrayed him, tor the warm bloo 1
rushed from his loving heart and tinted
his cheeks with the tell tale blush, and
he cherished the pleasing thought that her
look was beaming with love and hope.

appeared strange that it should be lit up

lorn the cause. Requesting his daughter
to accompany him, thev ascended the stairs
urid entered" the oQlee" quickly. A sight
met their gaze which caused the heart 01
one of them to beat violently. At a desk, j the venders retail it ur.uer the names ot

does no good
Why! !h cause, only a severed artery
throws blood in jets, and the arteries get
their blood from the heart ; hence to stop
the flow, the remedy must between the
heart and wound in other words, abore
the wound. If a veiu had been severed,
the blood would have flowed in a regular
stream, and slow by, and, on the other
hand, the tie would be applied Mow the

William Lilly, the ogee famous astrolo
ger, whose fame for casting nativities and
foretelling future events caused him to be
consulted on affairs d State by Charles
I. and the Chiefs of the Puritan party,
has told us in his amusing aato-biogia-phy
of an Fngiish vicar, whose devotion
to smoking was such that wheu he had no
tobacco, lie would cut the bell-ropes in
the Parish Church and smoke the pieces
as a substitute for the weea. Two centu
ries later we had Lord Lyreii apostrophi
sing in polished but vigorous verse
".siibliinu Tobacco ! which, from Kast t.- West,
Cheer the Tar's labors and tl;e Tu: kmaa's rest.
Dtviue in hookahs, j'orious in a. pipe
When tipped with umber, ineiiow, rich and
ripe."
Another Pngiish poet declares that a
Hollander's beau-ideal of "retired leisure"
is
"To sit and smoke between tw.j rows of limes.
Along the wall of Si me neat old Dutch town
In nouiitid.: heat, mi 1 Lear t he jingling chiuics
From Stadt-hciu.-e .-ucplv."
Put why need we multiply instances?
Who does not know that the habit ot
using tobacco is commou to all quarters of
the globe, and that the amount annually
consumed must necessarily be enormous ':
Four thousand four hundred and eighty
million pounds weight, says the Dean of
Carlisle in a recent lecture, is the cstiuia-
j ted yearly consumption for all parts of the

gal half a million. The whole quantity
exported, as given above, amounts to one
hundred and thirty-nine million lbs., leav
ing sixty-one millions of pounds for ex
port to countries not mentioned, and for
purposes ot domestic consumption. The
anuual consumption of Ameifcan an man

An immense amount of tobacco ia
grown in Germany, and elsewhere, for
home consumption and for export, which
is not embraced within the .-cope of the
tables we have presented, and of which
t'le statistics vary so greatly as to be
wholly unreliable." -Put if Government

pretentions to an oppressive greatness; ou.
who loves life, and understands theuso of
it; obliging, alike at ail hours; abjve all,
of a golden, temper, and steadfast as au 4

the greatest genius, the most brilliant wit .
or the profbundest thinker.
