THE BALLAD OF DEACON CLAPP.
"How. now, I How now ! good resident
Of ancient Podunk town,
Why are thy lips compressed in wrath,
Why wears thy brow such frown ?
Why on the streets do the citizens
Pace restless up and down,
And why does each one grit his teeth . I

"0, this Mister Brown is a miner bronzed,
From the wilds of Oregon, •
He sitteth on yon tavern bar
From dusk even unto dawn,

The sun bath never shone on,
And all the dollars of Podunk town •
Into his pouch have gone.
"It's not for the money that's lost
That we do deeply sigh,
'Tie the , lowered renown of Podunk town s
. That tills with tears each eye.
Alas ! that an infidel Mister Brown
Should smite us hip and thigh,
And say with a sneer, 'How is this yere,
(As he plays the Ace) for High r'
"The landlord jolly, the hostler good,
The,ztege-coaoh driver free,
The roaster who in the old school-house,
Teacheth the yongidee.—
Yea, all the players of podunk town •
Of note that there may be,
- All have gone down • before Mister. Brown,
Who eaith 'You are meat for me !"
V.
"Alas ! that ever on Podunk town •
There fell such sore mishap, -
That flaunteth the infidel Mister Brown
Such a feather in his cap ;
We have no player of renown
But only Deacon Clapp,
And he for our calamity •
Cares not, he saitb, a rap. •

"The. Deacon he site in his fold red house,
And quaffs the 'Medford rum ;
His yea is yea, and his nay is nay,

At Seven-Up he was 'some"
But vainly we implore bin now .

CRAZY MAG.
k BY CHARLES L. IKKNETTI.
VAMILIAR to the 'days-of my child-
I! hood, and one still to be seen when my
steps tread my native village, the form and
features Of Crazy Mag, sharply defined
by her sorrow_ and years of neglect, rise
up and claim an emotion of pity. ' Often
and often have I, with' book-satchel idly
pendant by 'my side, watched the poor
woman as sbe sat by the front.window of
the house where friendly sympathy had
placed her. Now silent as if musing on
the past, and . the next moment rising
from her seat and peering out of the
window, or coming,to the door and look
ing down the street to the Tillage ' Crazy
Mag was an object of yonder to the
childish mind, of . interest to my youth,
and now, in my manhood, still claims
my attention. As.no one has as yet re
corded the story of her years, it grew up
on me to do justice to her in' the only
way I could,and gip her history to those
doubting ones who say that woman's af
fection, worthily or unworthily bestowed
is as shcirt4ived as a flower. -
Maggie Wild was the youngest child
'of one well-to-do, in a worldly point of
view, and therefore .a - person of some
prominence in our little Western village.
His opinion, thus backed by wealth, car
ried with it considerable weight, and in
the managemeht of affairs in the place,
he getierally took , the most prominent
part, the rest yielding as though it was a
matter of course to one of his standing
and influence.
And so, by virtue of her position,
Maggie Wild was in 'the "first circle" of
our village, and, by virtue of her beauty,
she was the cynosure of all eyes at all
social gatherings. At her shrine kn e lt'
the young men of promise in our village,
and, wherever she went, there sure too,
followed the numberless admirers, of. the
tilue eyes, and—(yes, we must , Write it)
—the brilliant prospects of Maggie Wild.
About this time, when Maggie's seven
teenth birthday came around ; "our vil
.la7„e" was agitated by the consideration
of a question affecting the "young,folks."
ShOuld ‘here be, or , should there not be
a school, was the point to be decided.
The society of the place was in a ferment
in relation to the affair. Everybody was
asking everybody's opinion, :aud it was
hard telling how the scale would fall.
Bat at last, Maggie Wild's father was
called upon for his opinion, and more
than one felt that on this opinion hinged
the failure or success Of the school pro
j • ect.
Hezekiah said he . would take time to
consider the matter, so while, he was
"taking time," the question took a rest
ing spell, though the tongues of the gos
sips were not allowed the same privilege,
in consequence of Anew thought and in
quiry suggested, by the discussion. If
decided upon, who should conduct the
sChbol? Did the village contain any
person coMpetent to the task On this
topic opinions.were numerous, and some
of them in
.no way, shape or manner
complimentary to the persons whose :
names were used in said connection.'
But while Hezekiah "took time" there
'Citime to the, tillage a young 'man of pre
possessing appearance, an engaging ad
dress, and possessed of conversational
abilities of no mean order. He professed
•tO he a isojourner from the arduous duties
of a collage student, - searching, during
vacation, for , that. ease and comfort de
nied hitn, when within the' precinCts:of°
the temple of knowledge. As a matter
of course, - Hezekiah Wild was-one of the ,
first to Whom he' was intrOduCed..
,The.'
stranger soon succeeded in securing the
.good opinion of : the rough old man, and,.
of-course,
,was 800 U • on intimate terms
with the family. , ,
The uPshot of all this was a.favorable
opinion from Hezekiah` -Wild in the mat
ter of a school together -with 'a rPcom
mendation that Edward Carroll (so the
stranger called himself) be engaged.lis
teacher, at twelve dollars' month and
board.
This "opinion" settled thematter.
Before two weeks haul elapsed "our
village" had its school with a fair array.
of urchins, under the mental care of Ed-:
ward Carroll. It is true, the achool•room
and its appurtenances were of the . most
primitive condition, and 'only 'Effie rudi •
meats" were expected to be instilleri into
the minds of the "rising generation" of
the place., But this, at the time of our
story, was Cotsiderable of an event; so
that the school, its teachingi, its con
ditions, and its prospeCts, became a fruit
ful theme for gossip and conjecture in the
village. , •
And before a month had passed, Ed
ward Carrell won "-olden opinions" from
all sorts of people. He wasliolite to the
old and kind to the young; he had a
ready ear for the -farmer with his yarn
about the crops,- a d also for .the old lady
.whose • tongue n ver ceased ;when her
"ailing" Was a subject on :which she could
converse with the "schoolmaster." The
maidens, too, the Smiling fair ones of our
village, were in raptures over his intent
gence,-his affability, and his politeness.
His - voice WAS musical, and soon it was
heard in the choir of the . village church
'on Sabbath ;" and, as winder was approach
ing, there began some whispering about
having a singing school among the young
men and niaidene, foci , few were found
who were not fayorable,to the subject. ,
But all tliis:while,:the 'reader may ask,
where is'; Maggie Wild ? Cares she for
any Of the doings fn "our village ?"
one day, one of her companions chanced
to speak to her about a rumor that was
running throughlhe village.. And though
Maggie stontly denied it,' the crimson
tide that man tied: her fair face, - the merry
twinkle of the old mares eyes, who
chanced to be a listener to the query,
sent her away with the speed of a fawn
to her own' room.
itso?" eagerly inquired Maggie's
friend of the smiling father.
And ltezekiah answered, "Yes--Lhave
given my consent."
So this was the summing up of the
whole matter. We will not atop give
the particulars of die wooing. Maggie
was soon won by the engaging manners
of the young man, and his words were
as smooth 'as oil and sweet as honey, as
they fell in silvery accents from his lips.
And when he asked her hand it was
given with all her woman's trust. Mag
.gie gave herself up completely to the de
liciousness of her first love, her , whole
"soul centred in the affection for the man
she had chosen to be her companion
during the years of earth's pilgrimage.
Her heart bounded with exultation at
the happiness in prospect, far all was
bright and sunny in the futurr
When the harvest moon looked down
ill. her magnificence upon the fruitful
earth, Maggie-Wild and Edward Carroll
stood in the little aisle that faced the
pulpit of the village church, and all' who
were within its walls listened to the bri-
dal vows of as fair a maiden and hand
some a lover as ever "the oldest inhabi
tant" had seen.
All through that winter, happiness, was
in- the heart of Maggie, the school•mas
ter's bride. Fairly worshiping •
.the one
she called husband, her thoughts and
her actions tended to one . goal, centred
upon one object. And he, of a truth
seemed worthy of 'all ihis.adoration.
But the footprints ,of the snow faded
from the face of the earth, and again the
flowers eruiled, the rivulet sang, and the
blossoms, like signals of coming cheer,
were hung upon the "outer wall of the
trees so lately deriolate of foliage .or flower.
The air was - full of sunshine, of i lmelody, -
and of rare odors.
"Our village" was but little changed
by the wand of winter. And of those
in the place, &taggie, least of all, was
changed. As happy as the blue birds
whose twitter was heard, the whole day
long, she came and went among her as
sodiatei, with face enwreathed in smiles
and' voice soft and gentle. as the murmur
ing dove's. .
One day as Edward Carroll sat'nt the
"master's deik," there passed a pale
faced woman with a young child in her
arms. And as. he saw her, his face grew
white as the wall, and his limbs shook as
though the . ague, was upon *him. Ten
minutes afterwards roe might have seen
him speeding in a direction opposite from
that iu -Which. the woman went. Ale
stopped. ati .the home .of his bride.and
mentioned that a matter of importance
would require his absence perhapti that
afternoon - and' evening. - .Then, • secretly
securing what money be bad in . the house
about his person, and Wilzig "Maggie"
w,ach for his speedy return, Edward Car
roll left:the house.
Thafafternoon, that evening, and that
night passed, but Edward Carroll did not
return. On the morrow= a strange story
ran from lip to lip through "our viliage. 7 '
It reached the ears of Hezekiah Wild,
,and it made' him set , his "teeth firm, and
tclerch. his hands with' rage. At first le
, would not believe it, but. there appeared
before him a,woman with a young child
in her arms, and she said, with tears fall
ing all the while : "Before God, Ed
ward Carroll is niy huliband, and am
his wife." And as tho
_doubting -- man !
looked in the face of thOrnother and the,
child,. he saw candor on the careworn
visage of the one, and. read the endorse
ment of the story in the lineaments of
the other. But just al the Old. man wasp
about to bid the woman go on in herl
search for the villian whii had thus de- .
strayed the happiness of his home, an
other actor appeared upon the scene 7-- -.
even Maggie, . who' demanded What this .
story was the woman tcld. 'lt had reach
ed' her ears, but her loving heart would
not credit'a worl Again. the woman's
simple tale was told, but ere it ended,the
lorsaken wife had swooned:.
Time passed, , Edward.. 'Carroll came
not back. Maggie, a month or two after i
his flight, gave birth to a babe; but its
sojouyn in this world was 'short: '
life was scarce six days old.
Over Maggie, a fearful change came.
An illneseof months reanited in .trans
forming her from a . blooming bride into
one whose mind was unsettled: Reason
had' been dethroned by the.fearful Shook,
and she went back and 'forth with - but
one question upon her tongue. This was,
"Is he come ?" and she would sit, and
watch for the coming of the false one
night and day, shedding no tears and
taking but little notice of things trans ;
piring around her. :
As years passed, this
,state of idiocy
became settled: And soon; ;one by one,
her father, mother and brothers passed
away from the active scenes Of life, until,
at last the poor girl became dependent
upon the chartty of 'friends.
But still she waited the coming of the
false one. You could - not shake her be
lief of his entire innocence, and at last
this was given tip; she was led to cherish
the belief that hie absence was unavoid
able and that he would soon return - . ;As
then, so now:: With her beauty , gone,

"It's the finest black.walnut I eter

just a little zoo high. Don't you think
so Hiram:?".
"No; I dcin't," said. Hiram. On ihe
contrary, if J anything, I consider it a
shade too low:'
"You're mistaken, my dear fellow, Itve

"I'll bet you," said, Hiram, "that Ws

"Don't bet, Hiram—l'm sure of it; for :

"I'll,bet you fifty dollars, Jim, that Ws

"Oh, if you're willing Hiram, I'll take
the bet; but 1 .tell you beforehand that
rni certain the table is at least thirty

Hiram left the room to get a yard

laughed and said : •
"Hiram,. you 'may :save yourself the
trouble of measuring. I ttened yOu faith
fully that I bet-on a certainty,-so the-bet
