Scenes she had loved and had for‘rotten quite--
So long, and yet so well remembered now :
Bright days in spring time, when she loved to wear
The sweet wreathed blossoms in her ending hair
The summer hours that .frd in bliss so fa.t—
These ue'ercould come:iv:ant—they were the past,—
She had grown older, changed in heart and will,
Whilst he, in sorrow, had grown older still.

They had been ,wandering where the hours so soon

And see his life fist fading from her view,

my good fiend, it will be your own fault
Nay don't stare so.' -
. ' What ! Wl•at l Yardstick, you astonish
me. Yon want to be iv farmer:ha! ha! a
man.good fOr a hundred thousand before lie
- dies, in a splendid business, rolling up his pile,
to throw away 'his- prospects and- take hold
of the dirty plow-handle—good joke, ha! ha !
You take my offdr then, do you ?'
Hoehandle, lily friend, a sober word or
two with you. I have done business thirty
years. Have sold millions' of dollars worth
of goods. Have made and lost, much mon
ey. Have credited large stocks of goods out,
which I myself bought.on credit, and have
stood year after year, over the brink'of a petit
up volcano, expecting that those who owed
me would t.Vplude and blow me into atoms.
Sleepless nights—weary days. Headaches
and heartaches. Constant fearthat I could
eGot keep my chin above water. Obliged to
raise ttioney at high, exorbitant rates of inte
rest, to take up my paper with, because my
debtors were so long=winded in their pay
meats to me. Stock's depreciating in value.
Fashions changing. Dishonest clerks specu
lating from my money drawer. Ah, my
friend, 1 du not_ wonder you stare with as
tonishineut. Let me hear you laugh, it has
a charm for me. Sunshine sir ! a merchant's
heart, if he cares fer his reputation and his
credit, which ;embarked in such a hazardous
business as a wholesaler, has no sunshine.
He dun% kuow the feeliug, sir. Care, cor
roding care eats up his heart; weighs him
down; turns day into night; he can't shake
it off, it is a horrible ing - htware. - He
to New York, sir; he buys tifty thousand
dollars worth of g oods on time, and gives
notes. 0! these bank notes—fearful words
to a man who has a credit at stake, and re
lieS upon his customers to pay their notes by
which he may be able to inert his own. See
him: sir, fairly embarked like a ship at, sea,
and this ship is surrounded on all sides by
huge icebergs, perfect inountaitis--no chance
of escape ; bye and bye he sees they are
coining down upon - him ; he is hemmed in;
slowly and quietly those huge piles advance,
steadily thev come; the ship surely be
crushed. :lye, not a chip left of her—down
they come. Hold ! a little blue sky is seen,
the escapes, she gets into the sea once more.
- • The ship is like the merchant ; the moun
tains of ice, the bank notes, the bills. payable ;
the blue sky,ithe bills receivabili. But some
times the bills receivable are not met, and the
ship is crushed to atoms.
• How do you like the picture, my friend ?
So much fur a merchaut'Oile. W are not
what we seem. Our extensive business is
all on paper—mere trash; the great noise we
make is produced from the emptiness of our
pretensions. will you take your
place at the desk, and let the cash rain down
upon you! Nay, you aretoosensible a man.
Stick to the farm ; you are a lord—aye, a
king; independent; owing no man, while
the poor merchant - must cringe and fawn up
on banks and money lenders. - Yes, sir, go
d o wn on l'ijs knees to get money to save his
credit. Sir, producers can say, we ask noth
ing of the banks, nothing of the merchants ;
both • ask everything that - constitutes the
whole of life's cvmforts from us. Give - me
now your property for mine, with my kind
of life with it! Nay. when I tell you that
one disastrous year with the kind of business
I am dvii.s, would sweep away all I am
worth—will you exchange situations with
llle r
`Friend Yardstick, I thank You; but what
a picture you have set before me. never
despise the uld farmer again, u - ever. Let us
juin Mrs. Iloehandie iu the dining room, nod
as we take a quiet lunch, with a thankful
heart, 'we will drink, in a glass of domestic
:itawhit, this toast: The farmer, the luckiest
man on earth.'
Perhaps the above may be a fair specimen
of the groundlessness of diswutent, and of
its prevalence among all classes.
This false view of others extends. through
all classes of society, very often leaditig the
young, especially, ,into pursuits for. ;hi&
they are nut, and never can be fitted. The
Ihruier's or mechanic's son wisheS he was a
clerk, or a student at law, or of medicine—
the studentand clerk think they are too much
Confined, and frequently wish they were in
the place of the farmer's . son—the lawyer
thinks the editor is, making
,inoney, and the
editor thinks the lawyer js—the farmer's wife
thinks the wife of the merchant or of the
professiemil Men-look upon the tanner's wife
as mistress of creatiou--Lthe girl that works
at housework wishes she was a milliner, or
tailoress; mid the inilliuer and tailoress wish
they Were school teachers, and .the school
leacher thinks she is a

' lungs fur Soule other situation. Thus the
world acts as if its was all out of place ho

The Rescued Criminal.
• A great number of persons who know the
celebrated Profeosor of the College
of Surgeons:, have often heard him relate the
following anecdote :
One day he had procured the bodies of
two criminals, who had been hung, for the
purpose of anatomy ; not being able to find
the key of the dissecting-room at the moment
the two subjects were brought, he ordered
them, to be deposited in an apartment contig
uous to Gil' bed room. •
During the pvening Dr. B wrote - and
read as usual previous to retiring to rest.
The clock had just struck one, and all the
family slept soundly, when all at once a dull
sound proceeded from the rooms containing
the bodies.
Thinking that perhaps the cat had been
shut up' fhere by mistake, he went to see
what. codld be the cause of the unexpected
noise. What was his astonishment. or rath
er his horror, on discovering that the sack
whirdi contained the bodies m,as torn assum
der ; and , un ,g*tig nearer, he found that one
of the bodies v4s jnis.sing !
The doors and windows had ben fastened
with the greatest care, and it. appeared im
pix-,sible that the body could have been stolen.
The good doctor appeared rather nervous on
remarking this, and it was not withoutan
un
usual sensation that he began to look about
him, when to his horror and amazement, he
perceived that the missing body was sitting
upright in the corner.
Poor Dr. 13—, at this unexpected appa
rition, became transfi x ed with terror, which
was increased by observing the dead and
sunken eyes of the corpse fixiKl upon him—
.whichever way he moved, those dreadful eyes
still followed him.
The worthy doctor more dead than alive,
now began to beat a quick retreat, without,
however, losing sight of the object of his ter
ror ; he retreated step by step, one hand
holding the candle, the other' , extended in
search.of the door, which he at length gain
ed; but there is no escape, the spectre has
risen and followed him, whose livid features,
added to the lateness of the hour and the
stallikess of the night, seem to conspire to de
prive the poor doctor of the little courage he
has left.; his strength fails, the candle-falls
trum his hand, and the terrible scene is now
in complete darkness.
The good doctor has, however, gained his
apartment, and thrown himself-on his bed--- :
but the fearful spectre has still followed him ;
it has caught him, and seizes hold of his feet
with both hands. At this climax of. terror
the doctor loudly exclaimed," WhoeVer•you
are, leave me !" At this the spectre let go
its hold, and moaned feebly these words :
" Pity, good hangman, have pity on me.?"
The doctor now discovered the mystery, and
regained by little and little his composure.
lie explained to the criminal who had so
narrowly escaped death, who lie was, and
-prepared to call up some of his family.
" Do you, then, wish to destroy roe 1" ex
claimed the criminal. - "If I am discovered
my adventure will become , public, and I shall
be brought to the scaffold a second time. In
the name of humanity, save me from death. -
The good doctor then rose and procured
a light,- he muffled his_ unexpected visiter in
an old• dressing gown, and having made him
takb some restoring cordial, testitied a desire
to kuo what .critne brought him to the
scaffold.
- •He was a deserter.
The good doctor did not well know what
means to employ to save the poor creature.
He could not keep him in his house, and to
turn him out would be to expose hint to cer
tain 'death. The only way then, - was to get
him to the ceur try ; so having 'nude him
dress himself in some 'old clothes which the
doctor selected from his wordrobe, he left
town early, aCcoHupanied by his protg,e,whoin
he representdd as an assistant in a difficult
case upon whi'cli he had been called in.
When they _had gut into' the open coun
try, the wretched creature threw himself at
the feet •of his benefactor and liberator, to
whom lie swore , an eternal gratitude ; and
the generous doctor having relieved his wants
by a small sum of money, the grateful erea
sure left him with many blessings and pray=
em for his, happiness.
About twelve years- after this occUrrence
Dr. .13— had occasion to visit Amsterdam.
Having gone one day to the bank, he was
accosted by a well dressed man—one who
had been pointed out to him as one of the
most opulent merchants of that city..
The merchant asked him politely ifhe was
not Dr. of Loudon, and on his an
swering him in the affirmative, pressed him
to dine at his. house; which invitation the
worthy doctor accepted. On arriving at the
,merchant's *we, 111.: was shown to au elegant
apartment, where a ; mosl charming WOrnall
and two_ lovely :children welcomed him in
the most friendly wanner.; which_ reception
surprised hint the ,core, cowing tient, pepons

The 14§t Dog Story:
The advantages of advertising are admir-•
ably illustrated in. the- IPllowing incident; ,
which we find recorded in the but S,ttiduskv
Danioerat :
Mr. Luke Horton' of So'tth Eighth street;
keeps a dog called La Vega, an ill fayorek
fiezee-eyed brute, whose untidy habits and
cross-grained temper cause him to be held.
in detestation by the family : in gendial, and
by Mrs. Horton, his mistress iu partiCular.
La Vega, however, is a great favorite with
his master.
About,a week ago Mrs. Horton became
exasperated on accuiint of ,some unendurable ;
offence committed by La Vega, and privately,
bari:ained' with an old collectF of soap fit,
named Abe Walker, who, for a 'dollar fee.
agreed to take the dog off and •• render
up into tallow, or otherwise relieve Mrs. Her
ton from the annoyance of his presence.
MrJlorton; on coming lune to dinner,
inquired fir La Vega, and was chagrined
with the information that his troublesome
pet had absconded.' for some days the aty
senee of La Vegivgave 'occasion for =dr re
joicing in the household, and even the grie,
of Mr. Horton for his loss was,madethesub T
jest of many a sly. joke in his domestie;-
tablishin'ent.
Mrs. Horton congratulated herself execs
ssively on that lucky thought of hers, which
cleared the house of the odious brute.;..aud
though e lady who thinks a good 'deal of:a
dollar, she did not grudge the money r since
it gained her object so effectually.. In -the
mean tiine;La Vega was detained . a close
prisoner in the cellar - of the . soap,factciry,
amusing himself by snapping at. the rats
which coursed about the premises.
Ou Tuesday uinrning Mr. H.orton.appear
ed at the breakfast table with a beaming
countenance. " Well, my deergoodnews
said he to Mrs. Horton. " What is it?" ask
ed the lady with some secret misgiving. " I
have La Vega hail again ! Advertised fur
him, offered a reward for his recovery, and
this morning he was brought, home. by Abe -
Walker.
"Dear me :" ejaculated Mrs.llorton, what.
did you...have to pay for him IP Oily:eleven
dollars," replied Horton, " one for the- adver
tisement, and ten to old Abe fur, bringing
him back." Goodness replied-the .unsympa
thiziug wife. " Eleven dollars - (eneingh, to
buy a silk dress) fur the, recovery of Such a
nasty cur 1 and to think that I gave the black
rascal a dollar for taking him otf."
This inadvertent confession, of course, pro- '
Auced a Matrimonial duel; the report of
which we omit, .rti it intg,lit appear staleatid
coniniouphuxi to someof our married : read

"
I But, by this mine speculation all
:parties were gainers. Abe Walker, diectin-
Mug darkey, gained -ten. dollars, the , adver ,
Itising sheet gained one dollar, andldr. and
; Mrs. Horton gained some v.aluuble-tiperi.,
once, which will teach, them.the importance
of mutual confidence between wedded par
;ties.
