Dimes and dollars ! dollars and dimes !
An empty pocket's the worst of crimes !
If a man is down, give him a thrust
Trample the beggar into the dut !
Presumptuous poverty's quite appalling
Knock him over! kick him for falling ! ,
If a man is up, 0 ! lift him higher ! - ?
Your soul's for sale and he's a buyer
Dimes and dollars ! dollars and dimes !
An empty pocket's the worst of crimes !
T know a poor, but a worthy youth,
Whose hopes are built on a maiden's truth,
But the maiden will break her vows with ease,.
For a wooer cometh whose claims are these
A hollow heart, and an empty head, .
A face well tinged with brandy red,
A soul well trained in villany's school
And Cash sweet Cash ! he knoweth the rule :
Dimes and dollars ! dollars and dimes !
An empty pocket's the worst of crimes !
I know a bold, and an honest man,
'Who strives to live on the Christian plan,
But poor he is, and poor will be,
A scorned and hated wretch is he ;
At home he meeteth a starving wife,
Abroad he leadeth the leper'3 life
They struggle against a fearful odds
Who will not bow to the people's gods!
Dimes and dollars ! dollars and dimes !
An empty pocket's the worst of crimes !
So get ye wealth, no matter how !

The Elephants Strength.
The strength of an elephant is equal to its bulk
for it can, with great ease, draw a load that six
horses cannot move ; it can readily carry upon its
,back three thousand pounds weight ; upon its tusk
alone it can support neai a thousand. Its force
may be also estimated by the velocity of its mo-
lion compared with the mass of its body. It can
go in its ordinary pace as fast as a horse at an ea
sy trot, and when pushed it can move as swiftly
sa a horso at full gallop. It can travel with ease
fifty or sixty miles a day, and when hard pushed
almost double that distance.

STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY,
The Baronet's Story.
About four months after my marriage it was my
want, each morning after breakfast, to stroll about
my garden until, perhaps, one o'clock, at which
hour I returned home to enjny my wife's society,
and, when the weather permitted, we occasionally
took a walk or ride.
One morning, feeling myself not quite well, I
returned earlier than usual, about 11 o'clock, and
went into the house by a back entrance ; as neither
knorking or ringing announced my arrival, my
wife was not aware of my return.
I sought her first in the drawing-room, but not
finding her there, proceeded to her bed-room, and,
while passing through my dressing-room, to it, 1
was surprised by a sudden rush to the bed-room
door, which was instantly bolted from within. I
distinctly heard a low whispering, and. as I thought
a hurried receding step ; yet altogether 1 was not
kept waiting more than a few seconds ; my wife's
maid opened the door, when, to my greater per
plexity, I beheld my wife's usually pale face suf
fused with crimson blushes ; I also detected her
manoeuvering a comb through her hair, to hide as
I instantly suspected, her blushes from me, or her
disordered curls.
" What is the meaning of all this," thought I ;
41 it is strange ! The maid, too, looks confused
and heightened."
My wife did not hasten to meet me with her
usual sunny welcome ; there was not even one
smile to greet me. At length, recovering herself
a little, she, with a hesitating manner, said-'1 Well,
love, how, goes on the farm ?"
But 1 was grieved ; for the first time in my life,
I felt that I was not welcome. I felt something
was going on that I was not to know ; so, merely
saying 44 1 will tell you when we meet in the
drawing-room," I abruptly quitted her.
Not knowing whither 1 was going, or why I
I suffered so sudden, so frightful a revolution of
feeling, 1 hurried down stirs, rushed through the
hall, across the lawn, and plunged into the fir-path
that leads to a sequestered part of the grounds ;
nor, did I slacken my pace until I was fully a mile
from the house, when I threw myself upon the
green bank by the side of the river, the most mis
erable of men. I, who, one half-hour before, was
the happiest of men, now, unaccountably unutter
ably wretched.
Pride had, at the moment, prevented my asking
for an explanation ; that, I thought, ought to have
been given unsought ; and I determined not ask
Lady ivhy my visit was evidently so unwel
come. But, thenceforth, I resolved to keep a watchful
eye upon her. A thousand cruel thoughts crow
ded upon me, now that I discovered there was
something which my wife concealed from me ;
she whom I thought so artless, so free from all
duplicity.
At this period I had attained my thirtieth year.
Lady was only two years younger than my
self; but, from her sweet and girlish style of beau
ty, and gay, happy manner, no one would suppose
her more than twenty. She had been educated
on the Continent. I knew that, soon after leaving
school, she had received matrimonial proposals
if she had not been actually engaged to a gentle
man before quitting Paris. Hitherto, this cir
cumstance had never given me the slightest unea
siness; but now my thoughts involuntarily reverted
to it ; it haunted me day and night.
Between my wife and her maid there was an
unusual intimacy, owing as I understood, to the
latter being, what is called, an old follower of the
family. This woman was one of the tallest I ev
er saw, and large in proportion ; her face was
handsome, the features strongly defined, her eyes
large, intensely dark and penetrating ; her long
black linglets looked false ; in appearance you
would have said that she was nearer fifty than
forty. This person, with her erect figure, was,
taken altogether what many would pronounce a
very fine woman, but somewhat masculine.
Having described my wife's maid, how shall I
tell you of the horrible suspicion which seized
upon my imagination !
I thought perchance this maid was
her foreign lover in diguise !
And yet 1 did not, could not believe it, though
the frightful idea never, absented itself from my
brain. To hint such a thought to-my beloved wife,
1 could never bring myself to. I strove, rather,
to banish the idea from my mind, as a suggestion
of Satan.
From that day I became changed, both in the
outward and inward man. My happiness was
gone, my naturally light and cheerful manner gave
place to irritability and gloom. Time flew on,
clays and weeks passed without any particular oc
currence, until one morning, having arranged to
accompany a gentleman in the neighborhood on
a fishing excursion, I informed my wife that I
should not return until evening, -when I would
bring my friend to dinner. Immediately alter
breakfast, off we started in a dog-cart. We had
not proceeded more than four miles, when, in tur
ning a corner of a road, a boy, who was shooting
sparrows, fired so near to the horse's head, that
it took fright and dashed off at a furious gallop,
nor stopped until we were upset in a ditch. We
were compelled to give up our day's excursion and
leaving the groom to take care of the bruised hor
ses, my friend and I walked home, and entering
the house, after conducting my friend into the
drawing-room. I hastened up stairs to relate our
disaster to my wife. When, as I again passed
through my dressing-room, the door was again
bolted, and I distinctly heard my wiie say, wuu
a faltering voice, " He is returned ; wc are dis
covered i" The scales fell from my eyeo, I-Jd
no longer auy doubt, my worst fears were real
ized !
Oh, the agony of that moment ! I staggered
hack, a few paces, my head reeled, my heart felt
bursting, and I had well nigh fallen to the ground,
when a frenzy of despair and rage seizing me, I
made one rush at the door and roared for instant
admittance. Agnes opened the door and stood
trembling before me ; her attendant flew to the
farthest end of the apartment. 1 dashed my wife
aside, shouting, " this moment quit my house ;"
and darting across the room, seized my rival by
the throat, thundering forth, " confess all, or this
instant you die."
There was a moment's pause ; oh, the agony
of that moment !
Pale as a corpse, Agnes stood transfixed with
horror, gazing breathlessly upon the tableau, be
fore her, whilst, with supplicating accents, my
victim sobbed out, " Oh ! Sir, as sure as the life
is in my poor body, I have nothing to confess, but
that J was plucking out mistress's grey hairs !"
THE UNCLAD HORSEMAN.
BY MAJOR JOSEPH JONES.
Widowers should look out for breakers. Absa
lom Nippers was a widower, and one of the par
ticularest men, perhaps that ever lived, though
some people said, that when his wife was alive,
he used to dress as a common field hand, and
did'nt use to take any pains with himself at all.
Everybody noticed how he spruced up, about six
weeks after Mrs. Nippers died, and how he went
to church regular every Sunday ; but they did'nt
have no confidence in his religion, and used to say
that he only went to church to show his new suit
of mourning, and to ogle the gals.
With such a character among the wimmen, it i
ain't to be supposed that he stood any surt of a
chance of getting another Mrs. Nippers near home;
and whether he was as bad to his first wife as they
said he was or not, one thing was very certain,
that he must look abroad for some one to fill her
place.
Mr. Nippers was very lucky in finding a gal
just to his mind, what lived about ten miles from
his plantation. Nancy Parker was rich, and though
she wasn't very young nor very handsome, she
belonged to Mr. Nipper's church, and filled his
eye exactly ; so he sot in courlin' her with all his
might. Ten miles was a good long ride ; and as
he was an economical man, he used to ride over
to old Mrs. Parker's plantation every Sunday
morning, to go to church with the family, take din
ner with them, and ride back in the cool of the
evening. In that way he managed to kill two
birds with one stone ; that is, to advance the pros
pects of his happiness on this earth and the world
to come at the same time, without losing any of
his week-day time.
A ride over a dusty road is apt to soil a gentle
man's dry goods, and make him and his horse ve
ry tired. However, Mr. Nippers didn't mind the.
fatigue as much as his horse ; but in a matter such
as he had in hand it was very important that he
should make as good an impression as possible,
so he adopted a plan by which he was able to pre-
sent himself before the object of his affections in
order, with his Sunday coat as clean, and his
bloominrr ruffles as fresh and neat as if thev had
just come out of a band-box. This was a happy
expedient, and what nobody but a widower lover
would think of. He used to start from home with
his new coat and shirt tied up in a pocket hand
kerchief, and after riding within a quarter of a mile
of Mrs. Parker's plantation, he would turn off into
a thicket of Chinkapin bushes and there make his
rural toilet.
o - f
One bright Sunday morning, Mr. Nippers had
D a i
arrived at this dressin' ground. It was an impor -
tant occasion. Everything was promisin', and he
had made up his mind to pop the question that ve
ry day. There was doubt in his mind that he
would return home an engaged man, and he was
reckoning over to himself the value of Miss Nan
cy's plantation and niggers, while he was settiif
on his horse makin' his accustomed change of
dress.
He had dropped the reins on his horse's neck,
what was browsin' about making his last night's
scanty feed from the bushes in.his reach, and
kickin' and stompin' at such flies as were feedin'
on him in return.
"I'll fix the business this lime," scs Mr. "Nip
pers to himself. " 111 bring things to a point this
time," says he, as he untied the handkerchief with
his. clean clothes and spread them on the saddle
bow.
" Wo, Ball," ses he, " I've jist got to say the
word, andwo !" says he to his horse, what was
kickin' and rearin' about. " Wo ! you cussed old
fool ! and the business is settled jist like fallin'
off a log."
He was drawin' his shirt over his head, when
Ball gave a sudden spring which like to made him
loose his ballance. " Wo," ses he but before he
could get his arms out of the sleeves, Ball was
wheelin' and kickin' like rath at something mat
seemed to trouble him behind. Down went the
clean clothes, shirt and all on the ground. " Blast
your infernal pictur wo, now !" ses Mr. Nippers,
grabbin' at the reins. But before he could get
hold of 'em, Ball was off like a streak of lignum'"
with a whole swarm of yellow jackets round his
tail.
Mr. Nippers grabbled hold of the mane and tried
to stop the hors8, but it was no use. Away went
the infuriated Ball, and takin' the road he was
used to traveliu', another moment brung him to
the house. The gates was open, and in dashed
the horse with the almost naked Nippers hangin'
to his neck, hollenn,' "stop him ! hornets !. hor
nets " if loud r.s be could scream.
DECEMBER 20, L849.
On came the dogs, and after the horse they went
round the house, scatterin' the ducks and chick
ens, and terrifyin' the little niggars out of their
senses. The noise brung the wimmen to the door.
" Don't look Miss Nancy ! hornets! wo! ketch
him ! shouted the unclad Nippers, as, with spent
breath, he went dashin' out of the gate agin, with
the dogs still after him, and his horse's tail switch
in' in every direction, like a young harrycane.
Miss Nancy got one glimpse of her forlorn lover,
and before she could get her apron to her eyes,
she fainted at the awful sight, (!) while his fast
recedin' voice, crying, " Hornets! stop him ! hor
nets !" still rang in her ears.
Dealli by Music.
During a short reidence in Ohio, and pro
bably five or six years ago, I rode with d friend,
from my own reidence, io a town distant n few
miles; and distinguished ahoe the ret of the
towns in lhat ticiuity, by ihe possession of a
Medical College of considerable notoriety.
The opening lecture of the winie& course in
ihU lnhtiuiiion was io be delivered that after
noon, and it was for the purpose of attending
this, that my friend and m)elf had gone thith
er. Upon reaching the Church where i he ex
ercises were to take place, we were shown into
a pew in which one oilier person had already
sealed himself; and naturally enough, I .sur
veyed him somewhat closely. The result wa-,
thai I determined him to be un Irish gentleman,
and evidently in feeble health. The senice
commenced with hinging by a very superior
thoir, during which 1 was attracted by the en
thusiasm manifested by toy Irish friend he
seemed delighted wnh the music, and I could
discover upon his pale cheek a flush of grati
fication which lofd its own storv. A prater
was then offered after which ihe choir per
formed, in a manner 1 have never heard ex
celled, that louchingiy beautiful song, " My
Native Land." My attention, deeply en
grossed in the anthem, was arrested by a gurg
ling sound from the corner occupied by the
gentleman before mentioned; and my feelings
cannot be pictured by words when 1 saw a
stream of blood pouiing from his mouth. The
rapidity with which his countenance changed
from a flush io an almoM ghoMly pallor, was to
me most astonishing : more like ;he flight of a
momentary shadow upon the plain, when the
sun which ha been for an instant beneath a
cloud, again shoots forth wuh increased power,
than anything else 1 am able to imagine. As
quickly as po.-sible, wo hurried him from the
church into the open air, bin ere we reached
the door his spirit had departed borne upon
a breath of music io mingle in a sweeter melo
dy on high ! How strangely delightful thus to
depart to Heaven !
Upon er.quiry I learned thai he had been for
some time the vicum of Consumption, and more
than once had seemed to be just passing away.
For a few days, however, he had seemed to be
i much better; and yielding to the flatteries of
his disease, the most deceitful of us kind, had
considered himself able to attend the exercises
of that afternoon, w hich he. was very anxious
to do. The fatigue consequent upon such an
exertion had, no douhi, nearly overpowered
him; so that only a slight blow was necessary
io shiver the golden bowl of existence and
When that sweet song was1 borne io his ear, re
i minding him of hi own dear land, which he
never again mighi behold, ihe shock was too
much f r r his endurante a blood-ves:el was
ruptured and he died !
I should not, of course, presume io make this
last statement upon my ow n responsibility alone.
I give it as the general opinion of ihe medical
men (and they were many) who were present
at the time and to whom I t-hould be happy
io refer any modern Thomas who may be dis
posed to question the veracity of my statement
j I J J
j The subject of this incident now sleeps near
the sanctuary where his spirit was released;
but who shall lell how tranquil is his repose,
or picture the rapture of his flight as upon ihe
w,ings of music he soars from earth and its dis
quietudes, to Paradise and its eternal joys !

A writer in the Gerrriamown Telegraph re

Hogs. We copy his communication for the
benefit of ihoe who may wih to produce iiigdf

One of ihe nest articles I have ever expnri
rnoined xvnh in fattening fwine is mola-ses.
When it can he untamed for one shilling six
pence per gallon, n i. cheaper than corn at the
lowest price at which ihai grain is ever likely
to be offered in any market out of the slave
growing slates. By mixing saccharine matter
with corn or barley muh, I can fatten my hogs
in one-half ihe time which is consumed by my
neighbors, who turn up iheir noses with ineffa
ble and undisguised contempt at my " ultra
book-farming fancie" wise Solons of ihe sod
in flenhing not fattening their's. Has it
never occuried to yon thai the omnive.rou quad
roped, nomenclaied the hog, (sus scropa.) by
learned naturalists, haih.an appetite very pecu

in saccharine matter, or in acids. He will fat
ten on meal sweetened ; or meal acidified, and
I am at a los to decide on which the more
rapidly. I find that tipples boiled and permit
ted to Maud awhile, are eaten voraciously by
this worthy animal, abhorred of the Jews, and
thai he is fattened on theni nearly o.r quite as
rapidly as on meal or corn. I s-nrne years since
slaughtered a hog w eighing five hundred pounds
after being dre.Ned. winch lor seven weeks-before
he w a. killed, ae nothing but tipples -
Thuy were the refu.se of my crop, and being

neutralize the acidity, as the cooked apples
when presented to the hog were qmle sour.
They were esiten wuh avidity, and ihe ani
