Heap high tho farmer's wintry hoard! Heap high the golden corn! No richer gift has Autum poured Fiom out her lavish horn. Let other lands exulting glean The apple from the pine. , The orange from the gllossy green, ...Tlio dusture jTrora the vine- , L.,,. We letter love the hardy gift Our rugged vales bestow; To cheer us when the storm shall drift Our harvest fields with suow. When spring-time came with flower and bud, And grassy green and young And merry bob-links, in the wood, Like mad musicians sung. We dropped the seed o'er hill and plain, Beneath the sun of May, And frightened from our sprouting grain The robber crows away. All through the long brigh t day of J une. Its leaves grew thin and fair, And waves in hot mid-summer's noon Its soft and yellow hair. And, now when Autumn's moonlit eves, Its harvest time has come,. We pluck away the frosted leaves. And bear the treasures home. There,, richer than the fabled gifts Of golden showers of old, Fair hands the broken grain shall sift. And knead its meal of gold. Let vapid idllers loll iu silk Around their costly board Give us the bowl of mush and milk, By homespun beauty poured. Where'er the wide old kitchen hearth Sends up its smoky curls. Who will not thank the kindly earth. And bless our corn-fed girls. Let earth with-hold her goodly root. Let mildew blight the rye, Give to tho worm the orchard's fruit. The wheat-field to the fly. But let the good old crow adorn The hills our fathers trod; Still let us fr His golden corn Send up our thanks to God! iUisccllcmecms Divorced by Mistake. One Winter there came to Trenton, New- Jersey, two men, named Smith and Jones, who had both of them desigus ou the Legis lature. Junes had a bad wifo and in love with a pretjy womau he wished to be di vorced from his bad wife, so that he could marry the pretty womau, who, by the way was a widow, with black eyes, uud such a form ! Therefore Jones came to Trcutou for a divorce. Smith had a good wifood as an angel, nd the mother of ten chiluren and Smith did not want to bo divorced, out wanted to get a charter for a turnpiko or plankmad to ex tend from 1 ig s llun to lerrapm Hollow Well, they, with these different errands, came to Trenton, and addressed the assembl ed wisdom with the usual arguments. First, suppers, mainly composed of oysters with rich background ot venisicn; kcoo, liquors in great plenty, from "Jersey light ning," which a kind of a locomotive at full speed, reduced to li-juor chaps to New aik champagne. To speak plain prose, the divorced man ve a champague supper, and Smith, the turopike man, followed with a champagne breakfast, under the molunying influence ot which the assembled wisdom passed both the divorce and turnpike bills, and Jones and Smith a copy of each bill in their pocket went homo rejoicing, over many miles of sand and through the tribulation of many stage coaciies. Smith arrived heme in the evening, and as he sat down iu the parlor, his pretty wife be side bim how pretty she did look ! and five of her chitdren overhearing the other five studying their lessons iu the comer of tho room, Smith was iuduccd to expatiate upon the good results of hia mission to Trenton. "A turnpike, my dear. 1 am one of the Directors, and will be Preddect. It will set me up. love; and we can scud our children to tho boarding-school, and live in stylo out of tho toll. Here is the charter, honey.,, Let me 6ee it." said the pretty little wife, who was one of the nicest of wives, with plumpuess acd goodness dimpling all over ber face "Let me see it," as she leaned over Mr. Smith's shoulder. But all at once Smith's visage grew long; Smite's wife's visage grew black Smith was not profane, but now be ripped out an awful oath . "Blast us. wife, those infernal scoundrels at Trenton have gone and divorced us !" It was t o tiue; the parchment which be held wa a bill of divorce, in which the names of Smith aud Smith's wife appeared ia fright fully legible characters Mr. Smith wiped her eyes witfc tbe cor ner of ker -ipron. "Ilere's a turnpike," -mid she saidlv, "and with the whole ot our ten children stairing me in th face, . I aiot your wife ! Here's a turnpi"-:. "Blast iha an " pile, tad the Legisl&ture, "Well the fact 13 that Smith. reduced to single blessedness, enacted into a stranger to his own wife, swore awfully Although the night was dark, ar.d most of the denizens of Smith's town had gone to bed. Smith bid hi) late wife to put on her bonnet, and arm and arm they procebded to the clergyman of their church. ''Goodness bless me!" exclaimed tho good man, as he saw them eater. Smith looking like the last of Juno shad. Smith's wile wiping ber eya with the corner of her a pron 'Goodnjss bless ne what's the matter?" J ne matter is, i want you to marry us two right ofL replied Smith. "Marry you; .ejaculated the" dergyman with expanded hngers and awful eyes ; ' are you druuk, or what is the matter with you?" However, he finally married them over straightway and would not take a fee; tho fact is, grave as he was, he was dying to be alone that be might give vent to a suppressed laugh that was shaking him all over; aud Smith and Smith's wife went joyfully home and kissed every one of their children. The little Smiths never knew that their father and mother had ever been made strangers to each other by Legistative enactment Meanwhile, and on the same night, Jones returned to hU native town; Burliotou, I be lieve and sought at once the fine black eyes who be had hoped shortly to call his own. The pretty widow sat on the sofa, a white kerchief tied carelessly around her white throat, her black hair laid in silky waivs a gainst each rosy cheek. "Divorce is the word." cried Jones play fully patting her double chin; 'the fact is, Eliza. I'm rid of that cursed woman, and you & I'll be married to-Dight. I knew how how to manage those scoundrels at Trenton. A champagne aupper or was it a break fast, did the business for them. "Put on your bonnet and let us go to the preacher's Lt once, dearest." The widow, who was among widows as peaches amoDg apples, put on her bonnet aud took Jones' arm, and "Just look how handsome it is put on parchment!" cried Jones, pulling out the doc ument before her. "there's thj law that says tht Jacob Jones aud Ann Caroline Jones are two." Putting her plump gloved hand on his shoul ler she did look. "O dear!" she said, with her rosy lips, and sank back half fainting on the sofa. "O blazes ! cried Jones, and sank beside her, rustling lV? fatal parchment in his hand; "here's a lot of happiuess and cbampage gone to ruin " It was a hard case. Instead of being di vorced and at liberty to marry the widow. Jacob Jones was t-imply by the Legislature ol New Jersey incorporated into a turnpike company, and what made .it wors, author ized to ruu from Burlington to Bristol ! When you reflect that Burlington and Bris tol are located just a little part, on apposite sides of the Delaware river, you will observe the extreme hopelessness of Jones' case. "It's all the fault of that turnpike man j who gave them ths champagne sapper or was it the breakfast t cried Jones' m agony. "If they had chartered me a turnpike from Pig's 11 uu to Terrapin Hollow, I mL'ht have borne it; but the very idea of building a turnpike from Burlington to Bristol bears an absurdity on the face of it " So it did. . ''And 4iiut you divorced 5" said Eliza, a tear runniug down each cheek. "No !" thundrfied Jones, crushing his hat between bis knees, aud what'a worse the Legislature is adjourned, and gone home drunk. , and won't be back to Trenton till next year. It was a hard case. The mistake had occurcd on the laft day of the season, when legislators and transcribing clerks were labording under a champagne breakfast. Smith's name had been put where Jom-s' ouaht to have been, and "wisy wer sey," as the Litan poet has it. r7"Dr. Bushby, trflff'3iSastr of Westmin ster school, was celebrated for severe discip line. Tliongh a severe be was not an ill. natured :uau. It is related f him that one day when the Doctor was absent from his study, a boy found somo plums iu his chair, and moved his liukernishntss, began to eat them, first, however, waggishly exclaim ing : 'I publish the banns of matrimony between my mouth aud these plums. If any here preseut know any ju$t cause or impediment why they should not be united, you are to declare it or hereafter hold your peace,' and then ate them. But the Doctor had overheard, the procla mation, and said nothing until tho next mor uing, when, causiug the boy to be brought up, he grasped the well known instrument, saying: I publish the banns of matrimony between this rod md tlm boy. If any of you know any just cause cr impediment why they should not b united you are to declare it. The boy himself ci ied out. 'I forbid the Lanns !' 'For hat cause?' inquired the Doctor. 4Bec-ia-,' said the boy, -the parties are uot agreed ' - The Doctor enjoyed toe validity of the ob jection urged by th boy's wit, and the ceremony was not performed. This ia an instance of Dr Bush by 's admiration of talent. SOy A lady who makes but a modest spread of orinoline, was passing along the street in Richmond the other day, when she was met by a young man full of bad whiskey, who, in staggering past, stepped on her dress. Turing -to the lady be remarked a pologetically "Hoobs take up too much room,' to which the lady quietly replied, "Not so much as bad whiskey; sir," and pawed on Curolosltles at the Hermitage. A gentleman who recently made a pilgrim age to the Hermitage that shrine to dear to all who cherish and honor the memory of as brave a man, and as pure a patriot as our He public ever produced gives the subjoined interesting account of some of the curiosities which he there saw. "Prominent among the cariosities was a wooden pitcher; It was of wood from the elm trees under which William Pcnn made the celebrated Indian treaty. The pitcher was made and presented by the coopers of Philadelphia, and although H is no larger than a common cream jug, it contains seven hundred and fifty staves. The hoops, lid, ac'i handle art of silver; the bottow-s a aig nifying glass, by looking through which ona is enabled to see the joints, which are not vis ible to the naked eye. "We will notice -Old Hickory.' This is a noblo old cup that is, two cups with on bottom; so that when oue is turned up the other is turned dowu. It is, as its name im plies, of hickory, and, whtt is most singular about it has a natural handle. It is simply a block about oue foot in length, with both ends hollowed, aud was cut on Long Island from a hickory, the parent stem of which was severed by a cannon ball, iu the war of the Revolution. Tho next thing we will mention is a cal mut of stone, preseated by some Indiau chief; a bayonet with a large root grown round it, found ncir the battle ground below New Or leans; the cup and saucer out of which Gen eral Washington drauk his last tea; and a small piece of candle, found iu '.he tent of Cornwullis when he surrendered to General Washington, aud clrsed tho Revolutionary struggle. The last named article was given to General Jackson, with the request that he would light it on each 4th of July. Mrs. Jackson btated that they bad failed to do this owing to its shortuess." B3 the way, oue amon2 tha many curious and unexpected facts presented in Patron's forthcoming Life of General Jackson is, that the iudomi'able hero of New Orleans began his career as a teacher of an "Old Field School" in South Carolina, aud that in that vocation he earned the money which support ed him while he studied law. So that the Iron-nerved and iron-willed "Old Hickory," as well as the majestic "Defender of the Con stitution," knew what it was to "teach the young ilea how to shoot " What a curiosi ty would be a bit of birch with which either of them quickened the apprehensions of :heir duller pupils! The Cooluess and Bravery ofl'rln ters. There was quite a number of printers on board the ill fated steamer New World, and, as it has been stated that this class of men exibit great coolness and bravery in th time of trial on the battle-field and in all sorts of disasters, so it would appear they did in the recent calamity on the Hudson River. One printer set a good example at the 6tart by his great cooluess, and also showed much bra very, accordm;; to one account, iu jumping into the small boat which, before proceeding far. was found in a sinking condition from 1 wide open leaks. He took off his hat and used it as a bailing laule until the boat was put back to the sinking steamer and the par tv got on board again. Another printer de voted himself to "soothing" the females who were pauio-stricken, showiug an equal amount of calmiie93. Aud when the schooner which came alongside was about leaving, he brave ly jumped from the siukiug steamer and caught fast hold of her rigging. Thee priu ters are invaluable men in time of peril. She Kouldnt Murry a Mechanic A young man commenced visiting a young lady, and appeared to be well pleased. One evening he called when it was quite late, which led the youug lady to enquire where he had been so late. "I bad to work to night " "What! do you work for a living?" "Ocrtaiuly," he replied. "I am a mechan ic." "I dislike the name of mechanic," aud she turned up hor nose. That was the last time tho young mechan ic visited the youug woman. He is now a wealthy man, aud has one of the best of wo meu for a wife. The youug lady who disViRed the name of mechanic, is now tho wife of a miserable fool a regular vagrant about the grog shop, aud the soft, verdant, silly, miserable girl, is obliged to take in washiug to support herself and children.

Satan Diddltdbya CtWtr 'Old Nick,' although considered rather feharp than other wise, has been B-rved some very acute tricks. Among the rest we heard of a cobbler who had made a league with him, and after en joying every earthly blessing, he was waited upon by his brimstone majesty, who demand ed his soul. The cobbler took out a sharp knife, und rippiDg off the sole of his shoe, throw it al the feet of his illustrious guest. "What des this mean V cried tha lat ter. "Look at the contrast ?" was tho reply of the cobbler. Satan examined th? contract, an found the word was spelt 'sola,' which only .enti tled him to a piece of lcater. He turned on his heel und wi nt off scratching his btad; and he has been called "old Scratch." vvtr since. ggi.Mr?.
