Silver etwoades dashed down the precipices, through ever green trees. flowering shrubs, and long. pendant vines. The emerald green sward that sloped down to the river was bespan gle(' with a tluntsiu . sal gay and odorous flow ers: red strawberries gleamed through the grass; the clumps of shrubbery were filled with delicious berries ; and grape vines load ed the trees with purple clusters. The choicest fruit grew spontanecudy, and the upland terraces were covered with wheat and barley, sowed by the lavish hands of Nature. for the food of men. In this delightful scene were scattered groups of rustic cottages—small, rude in structure, but so embowered with foliage and surrounded with spreAding trees. and win harmony with the landscape, that each cluster was a new picture of de light.

Tamar was the moat beautiful, as her grandfather, 01m. was esteemed most sage. - The mother of Tamar,,who, in her youth, had held the place now held by her daughter. was esteemed for her virtue and wisdom, as much as she had ever been ad mired for her loveliness. The beautiful Tamar was beloved by all—old and young. As she wandered along the romantic banks of the river, in the dewy morning, the blue firmament, with its embroidery of silver clouds, seemed but her canopy ; the trees and shrubs nodded their homage; the flow ers sent up their incense of perfume; the birds warbled their melodies for her delight ; the very docks stopped grazing to look at her ; the horses neighed at her as she drew near them; trweet.eyed gaselles approached her without fear. In this harmony of na tan she walked—ita queen—robed in ins tead white, and crowned with choicest flowers. Among all the youths who admired fair When the morrow came, Arnette repaired Tamar, two of the worthiest aspired to favor to the lovely cottage of Tamar. She was of her love.

His cousin Jaleph was scarcely inferior to him in manly sports. They had grown up together, and loved each other like brothers. Arnette was dark—Jaleph fair. Arnette's black, clustering locks were like the raven's wing; Jaleph's shone like the golden sun shine on the sea. Arnette's dark eyes flashed out their Are under his deep brows ; Jaleph's reflected the hues of the cerulean heavens. Both were brave, and strong, and heroic. If Arnette had more strength and dignity, Jaleph had more skill and grace. One WAN statelier in his walk ; the other more serial in the (tenet.. Both loved Teener. In a thousand ways each told his love. Arnette presented her with a gorgeous plume of the bird of para dise. Jaleph wove for her a garland of matelib-ss beauty. made of shells anti flow ers.

No one could tell whirl, swain the favored.— Had each one been her brother, she could not have been more kind. The aged peo ple, who loved all their children, looked on and shook their head.; for they saw that this must end, and they feared that it might end in sorrow. The time Nino. when Tamar also saw and felt the nob:e cousins loved her with more than brotherly love. Arnette, the more in.- petuou.s. first declared his passion. "Tamar," he said, " beautiful - Tamar, I love thee!" " Dear Arrierte !" breathed from the open heart of the innocent maiden. " Wilt thou he mine?" Tier lovely face, which had been radiant with happiness was clouded now with doubt and perplexity. A rnette saw, and asked I again, in deep, sofa:nett tones, -0 heautitul one, wilt thou be mine?"

"Come with me, my daughter : you, my children, go. In seven days Tamar shall anvwer you." They kissed the mother's hand held out to thign.

It is true that each one felt the happiness of his life wits at stake.— To fight for the posse:vim* of the object of their love, however, was a mode of settling their rival pretengiong left to the darkness and ferocity of suceeeding eget', when the earth should be stained with crime and blood.

He looked for his cousin, land the next moment plunged beneath the surface. in a few moments he bore him to the shore, where he soon recovered. Again they were hunting the leopard in the mountains. Jaleph fell, and the wild beast sprang, upon him. The lance of Ar nette pierced the tierce animal's heart and &lived his rival from death. The seventh day approached. Neither had spoken to Tamar. They had but seen her at a distance. Each had refrained front every offering or sign of love. Their loyal hearts would not permit them to take ad vantage of each other. On the eve of the seventh day, they met in the assembly that gathered to prepare the morrow's festival. Tamar had decided. Her heart, queg tioned in solicitude, declared for the golden haired inusician. But her love and pity for Arnette. her appreciation of his noble quali ties, and her thankfulness to him for twice saving the life of her chosen one, made her look at Lim with such a glow of admiration and gratitude, that Jalcph's heart sank with him. He went forth and wept. It seemed plain to him that the question of his life was decided. He would not wait for the morrow.

Fanny "Are" qf a Ilasbarod.—A lady having remarked that awe is the tno-d de licious feeling that a wife can hold toward her husband, Fanny Fern thus comments: . "Awe of a man whew'e whiskers you have trimmed. whose hair you have cut, whose cravat you have tied, whose shirt you have put in the wash, whose boots and shoe% you halo kicked into the closet, whose clre4sing gown you have worn while combing •your hilt, who has been down in the kitchen with you at 11 o'clock at night to hunt fur • chicken bone. who has hooked your dresses, unlaced your boots, fastened your bracelets,"and tied your bonnet : who has stood before your looking-elass with thumb and finger on proboscis, scrai (shim.; Ills chin whom you have lauiteied acid ten rd; whom you have 644.11 asleep with his mouth wide open; ridiculous:" iVmsall Farms and /Wary i Arotarr.—TT. P.

Also, a small farm thus managed is much niece profitable, in proportion to a large farm managed in the usual way. There are fewer semi to pay taxes upon ; there is less fencing to make and keep in repair. leaving the owner much less expense, and a greater profit, according to the capital invested and expended. Bite of a Rauh-snake Owed is Tiro ll,urs. The Petersburg Express publishes the follow ing from a reliable correspondent: A car penter, while engaged, recently, in pulling down an old house. and in removing some of the rotten timbers near the ground, was bitten by a rattlesnake. In a few moments his finger was swollen to four times its na tural size, and a red streak commenced run ning up his hand and wrist. A deadly languor carne upon him, and his vision grew dim, clearly indicating that the subtle poi son that was coursing his veins was rapidly approaching the citadel of life. Bat a rem edy was tried, merely by way of experiment, which, to the surprise of all present, acted like a charm, the component parts of which were onion, tobacco and salt, of equal parts, made into a poultice and applied to the wound, and at the same time a cord was bound tightly about the wrist. In two 'ours afterwards he had so far recovered as to be able to resume his work. I knew an old negro who cured a boy that had been bitten by a mud dog, by the same applica tion. ilirnafmksgiving, ticvember 29th Robert Fulton, the Inventor.

I have several timee related the facts as they where told me. and have often been requested to secure them from oblivion, by giving them to the press. "I chanced," said my narrator, "tole at Albany. on business, when Fulton arrived there in his unheard of craft, which every body felt so much interest in seeing.

"We shall try to get hack, sir." "Van I have a passage down ?" "You can take your chance with us, sir." "I inquired the amount to be paid, and after a moment's hesitation a Nun, I think six dollars, was named. The amount, in coin.

Despairing. hn started for 'ali fornin--that land of refuge for broken for tunes and wouuded hearts. This was in the year 16:10, when San Francisco was a village and wanted printer' more than at present. The boy quickly became a man there : and embarkin•z in the printing busine-s, soon found himself the proprietor of an estsh lishutent from which sprang. in due time, a weekly paper. ere long to be . followed by a daily. His journal and his fortunes flour ished amazingly. and he returned to New York in 1854, with the avowed purvose of buying a six-cylinder press. ha, with the unavowed purpose of locking up a lovely form in his new golden chases. Alas. for human hopes! The maiden was wedded and the mother of two children. The prin ter bought his pressee and returned to Cali fornia--a sadder, not a wiser mon. Years progressed and he prospered. One day a kdy visited his editorial rooms to lay her modest contribution on his table in hopes of getting some remuneration for it. Iler story was told briefly—her husband had come to mend his fortunes in the land of gold, and had died, and she wa.s left very poor, with her two children to support.— The editor looked at the lady a moment— then handed barn doubloon. The astonish ed woman essayed to utter thanks, but was waved away. To shorten the story, the lady was his early love, and—he married her, sold out his establishment. returned to N ew York. and is now enjoying as much felicity on the banks of the Hudson as it falls to the lot of few printers even to conceive, AVriplpfeld Kissing the Handsomest Girls.

How a Negro Game to Stsal Torkeya.—A story is told of Diok,a clarkey in Kentucky, who was a notorious thief, so vicious in this respect that all the thefts in the neighbor hood were charged to him. On one oc casion Mr. Jones. a neighbor of Dick's mas ter, called and said that Dick must be sold out of that part of the country, for he had stolen all his (Mr. Jones') turkeys. Dick's master could not think so. The two, how ever, went into the field where Dick was at work. and a-cured him of the theft : "You stole Mr. Jones' turkeys," said the master. "No. I didn't, massa," responded Dick.— The M4,..4 er persisted. however. "Well," at length said Dick, "I'll tell you, maasa, I didn't steal dem turkeys ; but last night, when I went across Mr. Jones' pasture, I saw one ofour rails on de fence, so I brought home de rail, and, confound it, when I come to look, dare was nine turkeys on de rail l" bar" Tom, what's monomany?" "Why, yon sec, Diek, when a poor man steals it is called larceny ; bit when it's a rich 'un, the jury says it's monomany, and can't help it ; that's it."

"plasm exchange." TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR Jake Willard and the Blind Horse— A Laughable Story. The Mobile Register is responsible for the following mirth-provoking incident: For twenty-three years, old Jake Willard has cultivated the soil of Baldwin county, and drawn therefrom a support for self and wife. He is childless. Not long ago, Jak ,- left the house in search of a missing cow His route led him through an old worwaut patch of clay land, of about six acres in /ex tent, in the centre of which was well, twenty-five or thirty feet deep, th at some time, probably, had fiirnished 't e inmates of a dilapidated house near by with water. In passing by Ibis spot, an, ill wind lilted Jake's " tile " from his head, and malicious ly wafted it to the edge of the well, and in it tumbled. Now Jake had always practicedthe rirlue of eoonomy, and he immediately sat übo recovering the lost hat. Miran to the welb,- and finding it /wax dry at the bottom, he uncoiled the rope which he had brought for the purpose of capturing the truant cow, and after several attempts to catch the hat with a noose, he concluded to save time by going down into the well himself. To ac complish this. he made fast one end of the rope to a stump hard by, and was quickly i on his way down the well. It is a fact,. of which Jake was no leas ob livious than the reader hereof, that Nec Wells was in the diluilidated building afore said, and that an old blind horse, with a hell on his neck, who had . been turned out to die, was lazily grazing within a short dis tance of the well. The devil himself or some other wicked spirit put it into Ned's cranium to have a little fun. so lie quietly slipped up to the horse, and unbuckling the bell-strap, ap proached with slow measured "ting-a-ling" the edge of the well. • "G--(1 dung that old blind horse!" said Jake, "he's a-comin' this way sure, and ain't got no more sense than to fall in here. Whpa. Bull!" But the continued approach of the " ting " said ju"t cs plainly as words that "Ball" wouldn't whoa. Besides Jake was at the bottom, reat:ng, before trying to "shin" it up the rope. ."Great Jerusslem," said he, "the old CUSS will be a-top of me before I can say Jack Robiuron. Whoa! dang you, W 7 AOC( !" Just then. Ned drew up to the edgy of the well. and with his foot kicked a little .girt into it. "Oh. Lord!" exclaimed Jake, falling upon his knees at the bottom. " I'm gone now, yvlina ! Now I lay me do •• to sleep— Ball—l pray the Lord my soul to— w-11-a-a, now 1 Ohl Lurd, have mercy on me N' Jed multi hold in no lonzer,and fearful .lake tiliglq suffer from his fright, he reveal ed himself. Probably, Ned Xlidn't make tracks with his heels kim that well. Maybe Jake wasn't up to the top of it in short order, and you might think he didn't try every night for two Wake k‘ to get a shot with his rifle at Ned. Maybe not. I don't know. But I do know that if Jake finds out who sent you this, it will be the blot squib you'll get, Walking a Raft. There was a fellow once stepped out of the door of a tavern on the Mississippi, meaning to walk a mile up the shore to the next taveru. Just at the landing there I.iy a big raft, one of the regular old fashioned whalers—a raft a mile long. Well, the fellow heard the landlord say the raft was a mile long, and he said to him self, " I will go forth and see this great won der, and let my eyes behold the timbvrs which the hand of man bath hewn." So lie got on at the lower end, and began to ambulate over the wood in pretty fair time. But just as he got started, the raft started too, and as he walked op the river, it walk ed down, both traveling at the same rate.— When he got to the end of the sticks, he found they were pretty near ashore, and in sight of a tavern : so he landed, and walked straight into the bar-room he'd - come out of. The general sameness of things took him a little aback, but he looked tho landlord steadily in the face, and settled it in his own way. " Publican," said he. "are you gifted with a twin brother, who keeps a similar sized tarem, with a duplicate wife, a comporting wood-pile, and a corresponding circus bill, a mile from here?" The tavern keeper was fond of fun, and accordingly said it was ju4t so. "And. publican. have you among your dry rods for the eutersainment of ma n and one, any whisky of the !AMC kind of that of your brother's: ' And the tavern man said, that from the rising of the sun even uuto the going down of the same he had. They took drinks, when the stronger said, "Publican, that twin brotherof your'4 is a fine young man--a very tine man, in dt'ed. But do you know, I'm afraid that be puffers a good deal with the Chicago dip theria!" "And what's that:" asked the told-stick- "It's when the truth settles so firm in a man that none or it ever comes out. Onia mon doctors. of the catnip sort, call it ly in'. When I left your brother's confection ery, there was a raft at his door, which he swore his life to was a mile long. Well. publican, I walked that ratt from bill to t it from his door to your's. Now. I know my time, an' I'm just as good for tny , elf as for a hoes, and better for that than any man you ever da see. I always walk a mile in exactly twenty minutes, on a good road, and I'll be busted with an overloaded Injin gun if I've been mnren' ten minutes com ing here, steppin' over the blamed logs at that.

The pair crossed the line, wire married, and returned to Wellsville to pass the night. People at the hotel where the wedding party stopped observed that they conducted themselves in a rather singular manner. Tile husband would take his sis ter-in-law, the tall female aforesaid, in one corner of the parlor and talk earnestly to her, gestiearleting wiklly the while. Then the tall female would "put her foot down" and talk to him in an angry and excited manner.

It appeared that the tall female insisted upon occupying the same room with the newly-wedded pair, that her sister war fav orably disposed to the arrangement, and that the husband had agreed to it before the wedding took place. and was now in dignantly repudiating the contract. "Won't you go away. now. Susan, peace ful?" said the newly-married num, soften ing his voice. "No," said site, "I* wont—so there." "Don't you budge an inch!" - cried the married sister within the room. '''Now, now, Maria." said the young man to his wife, in a piteous tone, "don't go to cutting up in this way ; nnw dent !" " I'll cut up's much's I mutter!" she sharp ly replied.
