LINES,
TO ONE WHO WILL UNDERSTAND THEM.
Fair girl, have you forgotten when
You vowed your soul was mine
When, trusting in thy smil.'s, I pledg'd
My life and love were thine?
Do not f nl memories hang amid
' The shadowy vanished l'ust,
And bring to mind again those scene s
: That o'er our way were cast 1
Do no regrets stir up thy soul
To shed a siugle tear
O'er fond affection's cherished fiow'rs,
Now withered, dry and sere ?
Alas! despair with with' ring wand
Has blighted every ray
Of joy, and all my proudest hopes
Are shrouded ia decay.
Across my soul the memories
Of other days (.ft jdide,
Of joys as transient as the gleam
Of stars on Ocean's title.
. In ruins hang my lyre unstrung,
And, taneks.i. in y jn shade
2v more across its trcmbMng strings
Is love's sweet music played.
I've trusted in toy faithless vows
And Talsc deceitful smiles ;
Hut now to sorrow I'm convinced
In woman's heart there's wiles.
A Know-Nothing-Yarn. i
All creation and the balance of mankind
were, early one morning, aroused from the
dulness usually pervading the pious, prim and
peaceful town of EastNutmeg, by the cry of
. a. "What's it all about ?" When did they
come?" "Hot many are they?" "What
do they look like?'' "DM you see 'cm?"
"Are they human critter3?". "What are
they going to do ?"
"Who? what?"
"The Know-Nothings."
- "Know-Nothings ?" says a native.
"Know-Nothings."
"Well, I'd give a fo'poncc to know," con
tinued the native, "what in sin it's all about?"
"Oh, you haven't soon 'em, eh ?" sajs a
jolly, round-visaged, bright-eyed individual,
who, with other strangers, and natives of East
Nutmeg, were gathered in a knot about the
depot, discussing the topic which had in a
single night came, saw, and took the town.
Haven't seen 'em ?"
"Seen who?" gays the native.. .
"The Know-Nothings"
"Know-Nothings ! Wal, L kinder calc'late
I hav, a few."
"O, you are oio of 'em, eh ?"
"Look a here, squire, cf ycou don't want
tew be squattin cross-legged in you heap o'
Band I calculate yeou'd better not say my
edecation has been neglected in any sich a
way."
"Not at all, my dear friend, I only pre
dicted that you were a that is, hang it I
mean, do you know what's out?"
"Yes; I'll tell ycou what's out, squire."
"Good ; what is it?"
"A writ agin Josh Pruden for brcakin the
Sabbath all tew flinders, .playing keards in
Deacon Dinkle's barn." .
"Pshaw!" said the jolly man, "I don't
mean that sort of work ; I suppose j'ou are
like the rest of these Know-Nothings, too sly
eh, to be caught ?" '
"Squire, don't you chaw ?"
"Yes," said the jolly man. -
"Hand us ycour tobacco, then."
" "Yes, I don't chaw."
"Git cout ! gettin' kinder sharp-set, too, I
calc'late Now lock a here, squire, I gin tew
expect ycour from York."
"I 'spect 3'ou arc correct in your remarks."
' 4 Wal, I knew ycou was ; can tell yeou fel
lers a mile off; yes, can, by kingdom. Now;
I calc'late -there's pomcthin' goin' on, that's a
fact all firedest raow arcound this yer town,
this mornin 'beout somethin' a feller never
Learn."
"Ah, that's what I was coming at. Nqw,
they, Bay, you've got a new invention a new
fanglcd society, or a new order, party, or
(something' that's bound to get Christendom in
an uproar ; how is it?"
"Eh, yes; when they goin' to begin it,
squire V
"O, ycou git cent; sly dog, aintyou one of
'cm?" " i-' 2 '
v"WLat ! t'uci follows that's goin' to raise
sin and break thintrs ?" . " -
"I don't know ; I only ask you "continued
the squire; "I only ask for information, you
see.
- "Wal, naow, look a here, a feUer never
made much by dod-rotted ignorance in this
land of universal liberty and gineral edecation,
and a feller hates tew come right daown and
confess he don't know nothings that's a fact;
but, squire, I've got tew acknowledge the
corn, a-a-nd it's no use talkin' ; but darn my
buttons tew apple sass, cf I wont, as poor a
feller as I be, gin jist ten skillins and upwards
tew knpw what's kinder busted raound here."
' "Would yon?" " - - -:.- r. - . ...:;.
Wouldn't I ? Iiy goUy, squire,- I gness
ycour the critter kin jist tell us allabebut it ?"
"I'am just the man that can." -
"I knew yeou be! Grea-a-t kingdom, let's
hear all abeout it."
"Ilis-s-h," said the humorous man, "I've
been sounding you."
' Yeou don't say so ?'. echoes the citizen of
Nutmeg. .
- 'Yes, sir ; we have to bo cautious.'
'Eh, yes,' abstractedly responds the Nut
mogor. Can't speak out to everybody '
'So.' ' -i - .
' Yes. sir ; now I know you frc a good egg.'
Aiggs?' .!
'Good egg- s?und to the core !'
'Saound ? wouldn't wonder, never ailin but
once in my hull life ; then 1 had the darndest
scratchin' time ycou ever did see, I reckon.
Ever had the itch, squire ?' '
'Never, thank you '
'O, not at all, squire, you are quite wel
come, as Uncle Nat said, when he shot the
Ingin.'
'WeU, sir, now 111 give you a whL-sper, an
idea of what's up ; and if you love -our coun

- 'The land of the free, and the home of the

'Grea-a-t Fourth of July pitch in the big

'Our own dear native land !'
'That's the ginger ! go it squire !' says Nut
meg, . - ... : r.
'Now, tir, jii; t "follow me over o the liotd :
so take a chair. Here we arc now, I'll
give you the secret i You see this is a grand
society.'
!:h, yes.'
'And the greatest secrcsy is to be adhered
to. Now rise, hold up both hands, high
above your head, so ; now swear '
'Swear? can't dew it, squire agin my re

'Am I? I aius uothin' else, by Bunker

'Will you stand by your country?'
'Willi? Yes, sir; till Gabriel toots his
horn?' -
'Then swear that. you will stand by the
American Eagle, the stars and the stripes,
and never reveal the recrefs.'
Fourth of July, and Bunker Hill !' chimes
in the excited Yankee.
'That's it, good, good egg" said the
humorous man. 'Now, sir, you are one of us.
you are a Know-Nothing '
'Yeou don't say so ?'
'Yes, sir ; now we have some mysterious
signs and countersigns, by which you can tell
a brother of the society, When you see a
man looking at you with his right eye shut,
his hands in his pockets, and a cigar, should
he be smoking, in the left side of his mouth,
you may know he's a Know-Nothing.'
Eh, yes.' .
'Well, then, you go toward him, and shut
your left eye, ro ; you bite your thumb, of
the left hand, if he bites '
Bites ?'
'Yes, if he bites ; if he is reclly one of 'cm
he will say something in a grumbling tone
something like 'what do you mean ?' or 'do
you mean that for me ?' Then he bites, you
see ; then you advance close, and say, slowly
'nix a weed in cully !'
'Hutch, aint it?'
'Well, not exactly, it is our language, He
will then say, 'what do you mean ?' mind, he
wUl be very apt to say that, once or twice,
sure You reply, 'nibs.' don't forget, 'nibs
tag his nibs cully !'
Nibs eh, yes.'
'Nibs, cully, hop's nibs?' You then ap
proach close up, shut tho right eye, grasp his
hand, and put your forefinger alongside of
your nose, so He will then up and tell you
all about it.' ,
'Ac wiU ? How many fellers in th!stown
have joined this society ?'
'O, hundreds ; nearly everybody you meet
are members ; it's raising the greatest excite

"Beats Millerites? I was one of 'em.'
'JBeats everything out, sir. , Now, here's
the oath ; you swear by this emblem' ele

'What, a boot jack?'
'Yes, it looks like a jack, but it aint, it' a

'Eh.yea,' and Nutmeg left.
. , He had just got into the street, when a
veritable slgivmet his eyes. , A long-Jegoa,
dauble-fisted fallow" with but one" eye in his
head, stood gaping around, with hands in h'
head; up goes Nutmeg, shuts 'his eye, an
pokes his thumb between his molars. Thq
man with the closed eye, looked daggers with
the other, and by tUe twitching of his lips!
seemed to be ppeaking, or doing something
like it. inwardly. '
Nix a weed in'cully !' says Nutmeg, ad-v
vaneing.
'What in yaller thunder d'ye mean ?' Eays j
the one-eyed man. " j
'Nibs stag his nibs, cully, how's nibs?' con
tinued Nutmeg, advancing, and placing his
finger upon his long sharp nose, and. grabb
ing at the stranger, i;ho, mistrusting the
movement no good, drew off, and put in sued;
a 'soult paw,' that Nutmeg doubled up ancj
went down all in a heap cobiff! . j
'Goll darn you, aint you one of 'em ? why
didn't you say so?' bawls Nutmeg, travelling
into the hotel to find tho Professor of Know
Nothingness, 'and settle his 'hash.' But the
Professor had suddenly left for the city. Nut

The First Sabbath cf the Pilgrims.
It was in December 1620 that the ship
Mayflower, which brought over th e first emi
gration of Puritans, anchored on the wild
New England shore. There were none to
show them kindness, or bid them welcome.
A boat was sent from the vessel to explore
the coast, and seek & favorable landing. She
was manned by the bravest hearts and.
stoutest arms. The cold was severe, and tho
Fpray froze as it fell on theiu ; making their
clothes like iron coats. No convenient harbor
was yet discovered.
After some hours of hard sailing, a Uonn
of sleet and bnow sets in ; night is at fiand,
the swells, the storm increased, the ridder
splits, the mast bends and breaks and the
sail falls overboard. The frigUcned
pilot would have run the boat ashoro in a
cove full of breakers. 'About her! jhouts
one of the sailors, 'or we are lost,' 'Thej
hasten to obey their order; the boat rises
over the serf, and is soon under the lee of
land. It is dark, and tlie storm rages furious
ly. Hungry and wet, cold and tired,1 the
men creep ashore, and after much difficulty
kindled a fire When morning dawned, they
found themselves on a small island at the en
trance of a harbor, which proved to le Ply
mouth harbor ; and here they spent die day,
from their fatigue, and repair their boat.
The next day the Sabbath. Time was pre
cious, it was late in the season and their com
rades in the ship might suffer anxiety on their
accounts : everything demanded haste, but
they remembered the Sabbath day to keop it
holy." All labor was put aside, nnd on a
frozen ground in a chilly air, under a frown
ing sky, without shelter and almost without
food, they spent the day in divine worship
and holy rest. Here is a picture of die first
observance of the Sabbath in New England.
There are Carver and Winslow, and Bradford
and Standish, honored names among the Pu
ritan fathers. They do not ask to be excus
ed from tho obligations of religious duty,
even under circumstances so pressing and un
favorable. The Sabbath and the God of the
Sabbath, have claims upon them superior to
anything besides. Strict and unflinching
obedience to Bible law, is the rule of their
lives.
These were puritan principles, and it was
these principles which gave excellence and
honor to the New England forefathers, and
which now give to her institutions their mo
ral power Let not their children prove un
faithful to to them.
jJSrOur Jim, of the Boston Post, perpe
trated the following on the marriage of Thos.
Hawk, of Mansfield, to Miss Sarah J. Dove:
It isn't often that you see
So queer a kind of love ;
O what savage he must be

is said, brought in the following verdict :
"Guilty, with some little doubt as as to wheth
er he is tho man." - '
57"A mile or so from town, a gentle man
met a boy on horseback, crying, with cold
"Why don't you get down and lead the
horse ?" said our friend, "that's", the way to
get warm " ."It's a b-b-borrowed horse, and
I'll ride him if I freeze." .
One cf the Mean Men. '
Many instances have been cited of mean
ness, and several persons have been held up
as' examples, possessing that quality, in a
superlative degree. One of the most "emi
nent" men of this class that we ever knew,
was a "boss carpenter." He had, of course,
a youngest apprentice, on whom his meanness
was contracted, like the rays of the sun con
verged by a burning glass.
Tho boy, whom we will call Joe, and who
was very cunning and shrewd withal, was
Obliged, to uLnjiti.Qjmieh rigor a regarded
the, severity of his labors and scantiness of his
clothing and food One evening Joe was
supping on the fragments of a repast that had
been set before some guests the good wife
had "company" that afternoon and he com
mitted the enormity of applying a lump of
butter that was left on his plate to a chunk of
gingerbread which he was about to swallow.
Alas for poor Joe! his master opened the
kitchen door just as he was opening his
mouth , and before he could swallow the deli
cious morfcl his crime was detected.
The indignant master was struck aghast at
first by this species of juvenile turpitude, but
he seized the young epicure by the hair of his
head and gave him an unmerciful beating.
Joe went to bed sorrowing, but comforted
himself with the reflection that he was four
teen years old, and had but seven more years
to be flogged for eating of buttered ginger
bread. Joe was ingenious, and before he had com
posed himself to sleep that night, he formed
a plan of revenge upon his master.
.According to that plan ho arose early next
morning, and as he was hurrying on his
clothes he muttered ;-
"I'll fix a story on to the old feller : I'll
raise a laugh agin him ; I'll learn hiia how to
lick me like blazes "
t- j ji i r .3 i .
( , ji.s eoou as jue was uresseu, ne rusneu into
the streets, and ran towards the principal
hotel, bawling lustily, and simulating the
most clamorous grief. As he tore along the
streets, bellowing like a yearling bull, and
rubbing his eyes with a dingy pocket-handkerchief,
he naturally attracted the attention
of every person within sight or hearing By
tho time he had reached the front of the hotel
quite a crowd was ready to intercept him, as
he made a feint to rush by.
"What's the matter?" cried a dozen of
voices.
"Oh dear! Oh dear! it's so dreadful 1"
bellowed Joe, twisting his countenance into
the similitude of a baked apple.
"What's so dreadful ?"
"Oh, my master's dead died sich an aw
ful death too O dear !"
"Your master's dead awful death ! How
did it happen ? Stop your confounded bellow
ing, and tell us about it."
. "O, dear !" said Joe, his voice broken with
sobs, "you know what a small soul my mas
ter had, what an old feller (sob) he was for
money (sob). Wall, it appcrrs that somebody
(sob) had suthen agin him, (sob) and went
last nigh Oh. dear! oh dear! it's so orful!"
"Look here, young man ; stop that crying
and tell the sto;y."
"Wal, my master, he used to sleep with
his mouth wide open, a snoring, (sob) and
somebody went last night and baited the steel
trap with a fourpence, and set it on his pillor,
and hetclied Itis sou! afore mornln, and left
his body in the bed ! Boo-hoo-hoo. O, dear."
And with this Joe made a break througthe
astonished crowd and disappeared around a
corner, while the welkin was ringing with
shouts of laughter.
Joe's master did not hear the last of hi3
awful decease for a long time, and those who
knew him best declare that Joe's story wag
no myth, and that the longer his body walks
about, clutching greedily everything that the
law allows him, the stronger evidence he
gives that he is troubled with no such incum
brance as a soul.
Sensible to the Last.
Brown had been long on a sick bed, was
frequently delirious, and now obviously ap
proached his end His"old friend Smith had
come a long ride in the cold December air to
visit the dying man, and bid him a solemn
"good-bye before his departure to "that un
discovered country from whose bourne no tra
veller returns." Smith enters the house care
fully, inquires after the health of Mr Brown
and hopes he may be no worse than when he
saw him last.
"Oh, sirhe is very low he can't hold out
much longer.
Smith (Who sits near the door, blowing
his cold fingers) Is it possible ? I am sorry
to hear it Would you have any objection to
my speaking a word with him I
Mr. Brown. Oh, no but he's out of his
head and wouldn't know you. (Here Smith
approaches the bed sick man looks at him
and exclaims "Mrs. Brown give that man a
glass of hot toddy he s cold !"
Smith (delightfully) You say, .Mr
Bro wn, he is out of his head, but that remark
of his strikes mo as. a very sensible obscrva
tiou ! ' .

Froverbs for Women.
When cats wash their faces.ad weather is
at hand ; when women use wahes to their
complexion, it is a true sign that tho beauty
of their day is gone.
Many powder their faces that their skin
may seem white ; it is a poulterer that flours
an old hen, that it may pass for a tender
chicken.
, The stepping stone of fortune is not to lie j
i".ivl in . j-wcllcr'a hop. -
How many womeu have Won ruined by
diamonds; as bird-catchers fi.tiee the lark
from heaven to earth with sparkling glass.
Like the colored bottles in a chemist's win
dow, is the rougj on the cheek of a maiden ;
it attracts tha passers-by, but all know the
drug they advertise.
Choose not your wives, as you do grapes
from the bloom on them.
He who marries a pretty face, only, is like
a buyer of cheap furniture the varnish that
caught the eye will not endure the firs-fdde
blaze.
The girdle of beauty is not a staj-laee. '
This is the only excuse for tight-lacing ; a
good house-mife should have no waist.
When a maid takes lo spaniels and parrots,
it means that her beauty has gone to the dogs
and that henceforth her lift is a lirJen to
her.
The mouth of a wise woman is like a money
box which is seldom opened, so that much
treasures come forth from it. .
Store up the truth, O woman ' Be charita
ble unto thy fallen sister. Imitate not the
stags that chase from their herd their wound
ed companion.
The wise wife opposeth wrath with kind
ness. A sand bag will stop a cannon ball hy
its yielding. A good woman, is like a com
mon fiddle, oge only makes its tone sweeter.
Self-Confidence is a good deal of an institu
tion. A brass face is about as sure to lead
to a golden pocket, as it is to show up an
empty brain. Still self-confidence isn't al
ways associated with brass or I painlessness.
We commend the modest style to cverybody
and his relations.
T57"From the ranks of the bar have pprung
the noblest defenders of innocence the ear
liest and most steadfast champions of right
and freedom. From the ranks of the bar,
also, have sprung n3ar!y every candidate for
the gallows tunce the world began.
,jT5?The more good deeds people perform,
the happier they feel. Give a poor widow a
nourishing breakfast, a pretty girl a kiss and
a "love of a shawl," an old fool a little flat
tery, and the contribution box about a couple
of dollars, and you'll feel as happy as a piece
of animated calico in the houcy-moon.
Jt-t?It's the little troubles, pa-3 a writer,
that wear the heart out. It is easier to throw
a lomb-?hell a mile, than a feather won
with artillery. Forty little debts of one doi
las each, will cause you more trouble and
dunning than one big one of a thousand.
jfiflle who knows the world will not be
too bashful, and lie who knows himself will
never be impudent.
jtif'It is good to have one's practical sense
of the world's nothingness refreshed and
stirred up anew by the sight of a' deathbed.
Sr"SeIf-examination is generally self hy-
poensy It is a tribunal wnere culprit, wit
ness, advocate, and judge, are all engaged in
one interest to pervert the truth.
,57Givc your children fortnno without
education, and at least one-half of tho num-
be r will go down to the tomb of oblivion
perhaps to" ruin. Give them education, and
they will be a fortune to themselves and their
country. It is an inheritance worth more
than gold, for it buys true honour they can
never spend nor lose it ; and through life it
ever proves a friend, in death a consolation.
Backbiter "What is the moaning of a
backbiter?" said a reverend gentleman during
an examination at a parochial school This
was a puzzle. It went down the class till it
came to a simple little urchin, who said,
"Pr'aps it be a jlca "
School Kkepixo. "First class" in mathe
matics, stand up. What is simple division?"
"Please, sir, I know. Breaking Bob
Smith's cake, and eating half yourself."

and dividing it between yourself and broth
