whose name is familiar in every part of this conn

of the purity of his Y"ines and Liquors, says: 1
will slake my reputatiou as a man, my standing
as a nicithant of thirty years' residence in the
City of New York, that all the Brandy and
Wines which I bottle arc pure as imported, and
of the best quality, and can be relied upon by
every purchaser." Every bottle has the pro
prietor's name on the wax, and a fac simile of
his t-ignature on tha certificate. The public are
respectfully invited to call and examine for them

TIGHT, rREMIU3I FRUIT JARS CANS!
These Jars and Cans being perfectly simple in
their arrangement and requiring no cement in
order to make them nir-tigktanj one of ordinary
judgment can hermetically seal them 35"mP'y
screwing the cap down tightly after the fruit has
been put in hot.
Besides their simplicity and case of adjustment
and the impossibility of stoppers blowing out,
&c, the greatest advantage is that you can at
any time seethe condition of yemr fruit by sim
ply looking at the top of the cover. If the gum
gasget is concave the fruit is good; if convex it is
going to spoil, but will "always show itself iu time
to bo saved. t.
Tlie absence of this test has ever leen a matter
of anxiety, and frequently of serious loss to those
putting up Fruit or Vegetables. .
These are advantages which no other Fruit
Jars or Cans in this market possess.

MISCELLANEOUS.
TnE! HAUNTED HOUSE;
' ' OR,
THE SCCRET PAXEL.
Br A. E. GBEY.
I Lad just returned from boardiug school
to my native Tillaga of S , in England.
congratulating myself on tho prospect of
roaming once more beneath its shady trees,
and resting under tho time-worn roof of the
old family mansion. My mother had died in
my cbiliboud; and I was left to the caro of
my fatherHcj? paid very little attention to
rue, Bntilwy -Ihtrteenth year, when I was
sent off to Mme! Lomond's echool, some three
hundred miles from home. It was vcrv sel
dom that I heard from onr village; indeed, a
letter was a strange thirg to mo, and if bv
cbancs I received olo from my father, and
epened it, crpecting torealire a rich feast out
vi na couivuid, l iouna it uiica up wua such
sentences f.s these: "lie a good girl, an!
lenra your lessons;" and "Ha careful and not
make a fool of youreelf among the well edu
cated girls who attend with you." Not one
word of kiodnes3 or love.
I never returned home during the holidays;
when I first caught sight of mv birtli-nlace.
so
after leaving school, I was seventeen ycar3 of
age; a fearless girl, possessing but Httlo beau
ty, but. I must say, a good education.
Oh how every thing was changed at home.
The old house had been partly torn down and
rebuilt, and tho old tree that used to stand
by the tide of the house, and shelter my little
rooia from the glare cf the sun, tad been cut
down, an ! cither conveyed away or burnt for
fire-wood. The grounds Lad been renovated; j
aau a lawn ia;d oat btuore tho Louse; and
what wis tho causa oi" all this change? I
soou found out, Dij father Lad marriel during
my absence.
His second partner was a widow of some
personal Leauty, not quito past the mciidiaa
of life, rossesslurr no crorertv whatever.
Sho had come to tho village eoiue two years
tf'.er I bad bft, bearing upon her person her
credentials of widowhood in tho chapo of a
black dress and shawl; also a bonnet and a
very long veil of the same Eombre hue. I
know liOtbing of the courtship or caue of my
father uniting himself to a strange woman,
but I do know that I found her installed with
in my father's house, and that I Lad a step
mother. &he welcomed me very coldly, and
I was not backward ia following suit."
My father greeted ma mora cordial! than
I bad exrected. lie looted haggard and eare
v.xrn. "Wuat wa3 the matter? Had he
failed in basiness?" I aiked, with solicitude;,
(though I knew the latter wa3 almost impos
sible, aa he was possessed of some means, au 1
rcver speculated.) Defora ho Lad . time to
answer, my stepmother spoke: 0! be has
been very unwell, for some da3-3, with a se
vere cold." After talking awhile longer I
arose and went out upon the lawn. I then
walked a few steps down upon the shrubber
ies, whero I observed aa oil man at work.
whom I tLourrht I reeoznized as a raaa of all
wort, who Uied to to about tne rifiea wuen 1
left home. I Lai not forgotten his nauie, so
I called to him:
"Peter! Peter'." Tho old man turned
elowly aroaad. "Don't you know mc? I
am little Alice," said I.
He gazed upon iue for a few moments, and
then he stretched out his brown and withered
hands, and grasping mine, he said:
"Yes, indeed, thou art little Alice, who
used to play around the grounds some four
years ego, if I mistake mo not. Thou art
like thy mother." Here a tear-drop fell froui
the old man's eyes upon the grass.
Did yoa ever see my mother? I asked.
Ycs, yes; she was too good for this world;
but 3-et her i-piric docs not rest.'
' 'What do you mean?' questioned I.
.The old man said not a word, but taking
mc by the hand, he led me around the side of
the mansion which had been inhabited by my
mother when alive, but which was now and
Lad been thut up for some time, and pointing
up to the windows,, which were closed, he
said,- in a trembling voice:
'At those windows, every night, at eleven
o'clock, a glimmering light appears at the
middle window. Do you sec it there?'
Great Leavens, it was the very room in
which "my mother breathed her List; I bad
often thought of its gloomy hangings and ths
large panels set within the walls, for our house
was of ancient build. Hvening was drawing
to a close, so I bade the old mau good night,
with iny mind male up but to one purpose,
which va3 to spend the night in tho room
where nay mother died.
I was a bold girl, unlike many others of
my sex; I bad "never known fear, at least the
fear of ghosts, spectre lights, iio.,'Sis. In
fact,I considered thceeJthi.n3 an cgrigeous
humbug. " v
I crossed the lawa ana cntorcd the house,
and W3S soon seated at the tea table, where I
broached the subject, and asked them to pre
pare the room, my stepmother demurred a
little, but at last seeing that I was bent upon
having my own way, she consented. Aly
father said nothing, wliich. did not surprise
mo, as be was always".' taciturn. Bed time
came, I took in my Land a candle and pro
ceeded slowly up staler, and entered the
'room; a bright fire was burning ia the grate,
and as it cast its bright rays upon the black
hatgi;.g8 of tbe bed and furniture, it would
see;u to a disordered imagination, as if a
thousand demons wcro dancing within the
chamber.
I laid down upon tho bed without disrobing
osl before I knew it, I was locked in slum
ber. ' ;
I was awakened by tho noise of footsteps

the room. There! yes," there lefore an open
space wuicu nau dccd oncecovcrcu i-y a jmuh,
stood a figure clothed 'unlike modern ghosts;
iu a heavy black dress. I was horror-struck.
AU at once the figure turned its bead.
Great Leavens! it was my Etepmother! There
she stood, staring me full in tho face, ber
eye3 wide open. She was a somnambulist;
but what cculd have brought ber here.
Again she turned her head, but it was to gaze
upon the recess. Angels defend me, it was
packed for a space of Eix inches from the bot
tom, with gold ccin, which glistened in the
last rays of my fast expiring candle.
It was a moment of excitement for me, I
knew all. I arose softly from tbe bed, and
went cut of the chamber, the door of which I
locked, lcavhog thi key within. 1 then
found my W3y to my father's chamber, and
aroused him. and hastily cxplaiued what was
going on within my mother's chamber He
was all excitement; he Kd the way up to the
chamber and anlockcd the door, we entered.

graped her by the shoulder; she awoka gave
cne look at me, and then fell to the floor. At
this moment tha candle shot out its last glare
of light, and wc were in the dark, the Cre
having gone out for want of fuel when I was
asleep.
A few minutes sufficed to reuse Peter, who
slept in tho Louse, and we procured a candle;
I stooped down and examined my stepmother,
she was deal. Trota tho bosom of her dress
a white paper Lad fallen out upon tho floor.
It was a letter: I picked it up and opened it.
Thb was its contents.
"Joe the dth, 1S10.

Tlie Jeweti-., A Tradition oftlic
Itabbi, .
The celebrated teacher. Rabbi Meir, Fat
during tho wholes cf the Sabbath day in the
public school, instructing the people. Du
riu' bis absence from the he-uss his both son
died, both of them of uncommon beauty,
and enlightened ia the law. His wife bore
them to the bed chamber, laid them upon the
marriage bed, and spread a covering
over their bodies. Ia tho evening the
Kabbi Meir came Lome.
"WLcrc are my two sons, Le asked "that
I may give them my blessing? I repeated
ly looked round the school and did not eco
them there."
She reached Lim a goblet. He praised the
Lord at tho going out of tho Sabbath; drank
and again asked
"Where arc my sons, that they too may
drink of the cap of blessing?"
"They will not be far off," said she, and
placed food before him that he might cat.
Ho was in a gladsonio and genial mood;
and when he Lai said graco after the meal,
she then addressed Lim: 1
"Ilabbi, with thy permission I would fain
propose to thee oue question.
Ask it thou, my love," he replied.
"A few days ago, a person entrusted some
jewels to my custody, and now La demands
them again; should I give tLtui up:
This is a question," said llabbi Melr,
"which my wife should not Lave thought it
necessary to a;k. What, would thou hesi
tate or be reluctant to restore to every cue Lis
own."
".No," she replied, "but yet I thought it
best not to restore them without acquainting
thee therewith."
She led him to tho chamber, and topping
to the bed, took the white covering from the
dead bodies.
"Ah! my sons, my sonsT' thus loudly la
mented the father; "my sons! the light of
my eyes and the light of my understanding!
I was your fatLer but yo were my teacbers
in the law."
The mother turned away and wept bitterly.
At length sho took Lor husband by the band
and said:
"Kabbi, did'st thou not teach mo that we
must not bo reluctant to restore that which
wa3 entrusted to our keeping? See, the Lord
gave, tho Lord Las taken away, and blessed
bo tho name of the lord!" '
. "Dlossed bo the name of tho Lord! echoed
Rabbi 'Meir, "and blessed be Lis namo for
thy sake too; for well it is written, " Whoeso
ever Lath found a virtuous wife, hath a great
er tLan costly pearls; she opencth her mouth
in wisdom, and in her tongue, is the law of

Tbe following Freneby anfcJoto is transla

zcitc: At the last fair st Tarascon there were cf
course assembled a troupe of gymnasts, jug
glers, accrobats, and a multitude of menage
ries, in one of which was an Asiatic Elephant
remarkable for the largeness of Lis ctrs. Uis
owner called Lim Kiculill.
Among tho aeerobatic troupe was a maker
of red balloons, recently so popular in Eng
land and America. He travelled with the
show, and seduced a coople of sous from the
pockets of many a patron of it by selling Lim
a balloon.
A countryman stopped one day before the
menagerie tent, and enticed by a jtlatcl rep

magnificent Asiatic product which it contains!
Astonishing! but bow iu regard to ruck

'Kasy enough. No consequence whit

TLo countryman depart cl, charmed with
Lis prize, and to keep it safely as postible.
wrapped it ia a Lluo cotton handkerchief
which Le bad bought at the fair for Lis wife.
Hut ia spite of all the care cf which the egg
that bore kiouki 11 was the object, it s
written in the Book of Det-tiuy that its pro

Some little distance from the village wbrrc

appreacbd it for the purpose cf imbibing

He believed that the ticjhart was about
to l-e hatched, and it was net long after the
egg was out of sight that he returned Lome
crestfallen. His wife asked Lim wLere tbe
handkerchief was Le Lad promised to bring
her. TLeu he narrated the entire adventure.
The good woman epened Lcr eyes and ears
