A very long time ago, in the western part of England there lived an aged couple whose times had passed away, since early youth, in`the every day round of farm life, who had never been known to have Or least ill feeling towards each other since the time when the good old parson Heriot had united them in the holy bonds of wed lock, twenty-five years before. So well was the fact of their conjugal happiness known that they were spoken of, far and near, as the happiest pair known. Now, the Devil (excuse the abrupt mention of his name,) had been trying for twenty years to create what is so commonly called a fuss in the family," between these old companions. But much to his mortifica tion, he had pot been able to induce the old gentleman to grumble about breakfast being late' once, or the old lady :to give. a single curtain lecture.. After repeated efforts, the Devil became discouraged, and bad he.not been a person of great deter mination he would doubtless have given up the work in despair. One day as he I walked along in a - Very Surly mood, after another attempt to' get the old lady to quarrel about the pigs getting into the yard, he met an'old woman, a near neigh bor of the 'aged couple. As Mr. Devil and the neighbor were 'very ,particular friends, they- must needs stop and chat a 'little. E. A. JOSEB B. D.

"..Everything else is going„ on well enough," replied - the Devil, " but," and here he looked as sour as . a monkey in a erab apple tree, " old 'Minion?, " and his wife, over here, 'are Injuring the cause terribly, by their bad example, . and after trying for years to induce them to bo bet ter, I must say I consider them hopeleis." . The'old hag stood for aMoment in deep thought. - - Are you sure that yon have tried every way ?" she asked. " Every one -I can 'think or - " Are'you certain ?" " Yes. " Well," replied she, '• if: you will prom- ise to Make me a 'present of a new-pair of shoes, iu case I succeed, I-Trill make the attempt myself and see if I can't raise a quarrel between them." To this reasonable request the Devil gladly assented. The old hag went her way to neighbor Blueford's house and found old. Mrs. , Blueford very busily . en gaged in getting , things ready for her hus band's comfort •on his return from the work. After the usual compliments had passed, the following dialogue took place : Well, friend 8., you and Mr. 8. - have lived a long time together" - '" Five and twenty years come nest No- vember." "And in all this time you have never bad a quarrel." . . Not one." " I am truly glad to hear it, continued the him, " I consider it my duty to warn you, though this is the case you must not expect it to last always. Have you not observed that of late Mr. B. has grown peevish and sullen at times ?" " A very little so," observed Mrs; Blue ford. "I know it," continued the hag, ".and let we warn you in time to be on your guard." Mrs. 13.. did think she had.better do so, and asked advice as to how she ought to manage the case. ." Have you not noticed," said the hag "that your husband has a bunch of long coarse, gray hair growing on a mole under his chin, on the the right side of his throat?" • " Yes." " These are . the cause of the trouble, and as long as they rewaio you had bet ter look out. - Now as a friend, I would advise you to cut them off the first time youget a chance and thus end the trouble." " If you say so, I will," replied , the old lady. - Soon after this the hag started for home. -and made it convenient to meet Mr. 8., on the way. Much the same - talk in re lation to his domestic happiness, passed between him and the old hag. "But, friend B." said she. "I think it my duty as a Christian, to warn you to be on your guard, for I tell you that your wife intends your ruin." Old Mr. Was - very much astonished, yet he could not wholly discredit her words. When he reached home he'threw himself on his bed in great perplexity, and feigning sleep studied over the mat ter in his own mind. Ms wife, thinking as a good Opportupity for cutting off the obnoxious hair took her husband's razor and crept softly to his side. Now the old lady, was very much frightened at holding a razor so close to her husband's • neck, and her hand was not steady as tt,was once; so between the two she went, to work very awkwardly and pulled the- hairs in stead of cutting them off. Dlr. Blueforct opened his eyes, and there stood his wife with a razor at his throat. After 'what had been told him, and 'seeing this, he could not *doubt that she intended to mur der him. He sprang ,from the bed in hor ror, and no explanation or entreaty , could convince htni to the contrary. .So, from that time forth there was no more peace for that house. It 'was jaw;Jaiv, . quarrel and wrangling all•the time. ' • With delight the Devil heard, of the success of his faithful emissary, and sent her word that if she would meet him at the end of the lawn at a certain time he would pay her the shoes. At the appointed time, she repaired to the spot and found the Devil at the place. He put the shoes on the end of a very long pole and standing on. the opposite side of the fence handed them over to her. She was very much -pleased- with them, they were exactly the article. "But there wig oue thing, Mr. Devil, that I would like to have explained; that is, why you . hand them to me on that stick•?" ' "Veiy easy' to explain," replied he, "any one who has the cunning and mean- peas to do as you' have done, don't get nearer than twenty feet of me I , " so saying, he fled in' terror..: After a while the old Woman died, and when she applied for admittance to , the lower regions Ahe Devil' would not let her in, for fear she might dethrone him, as she was so much•his superior. So the old woman is yet compelled to wander over the world, creating quarrels, and strife in peaeeful families and neighborhoods. • - -if Would you know-her tintne'r • It is Madam Scandal.: - 7i ben she died, her children, the iottrog Scandalizers were left orphans, but the Devil, in considera tion of-past service done :by the mother, adopted them, and so.yon see he nfather Of that. respectable class celled seqndal mongers. The Little Shoes. It is wonderful what trifling things pro duce an influence on the heart and mind: A seed born on the wings of the wind, drops at last into's suitable soil; and by and by, grows, up into a stately tree. -, A little spring leaps out of the side of a hill, and the child,' who stoops to drink 'of it, can span its breadth ;. but it flows on down to the valley, and winds along the plain, and gathers strength and volume in its course, till it rolls'a stately river, bearing the commerce of, cities in the ships that navigate its waters. And sorit is with human life. A look, a word, has changed the whole career of many an immortal being. . The writer once lived opposite a beer shop called •the " Fox and Geese," and with' pained attention often watched the doings, and, alas ! heard the sayings of the customers. One 'winter evening a -shoe maker's boy came, with an assortment,of children's shoe's, and the land-lady of the " Fox and Geese," w.ho had a most mar vellous shrill voice began calling to a lit: tle, ' dirty slave of ! a nurse.kirl to bring " Addleeead"—aii she pronounced Ade laide—to have her new shoe tried on. I could sec the little creature who was at once fine and filthy, sitting nder thegas light in the bar, and kickin g and scream ing as the shoes were coaxedon her feet. At last a pair fitted, and the spoiled pet was lifted up triumphantly in her moth ers arms. " Here, do look at her ! The darling has let me get a pair of the very best ones on I Look, Dad, do !" said the "mother, calling to her husband. Just' then a tall man, very thinly clad, came out of the tap room, passed the bar, and saw the. child stretch-. ing out . her feet for her father • to . ae. Now, a"poor woman had been' hovering about at the corner, peeping now and then timidly into -the bar-window, and then creeping to the door; she had a child in her anus, and looked ready to drop dead. with cold and weariness. , I bad seen .that worth° on many, a Sat urday night waiting arid watehirig for her husband to come out. Ah there •he is, rizeted for a moment looking at the child Showing her shoes; with a start he rouses himself and rushes out. " What, Bill;go ing so soon ? bawls the landlady. Bill pulls his hat down over his eyes with one hand. clutches his jacket tight over his chest, and answers the words with a sort of grunt. He is outside"; there is his wife and little one. For a moment the woman looks at him titoort.usly, and half swerves aside, as if she feared—what I will not write lest the manhood of my readers should be wounded. Something in Bill's look re-assures her, and she goes up close to . him, feebly ; but yet coaxingly. He took the child from her. tired arms--the little creature gave a short, quick cry of fright— r and, as he lifted it, I saw that its, little feet were bare. It drewthem swift ly up unaer its poor frock, but not before the father saw them; I wish his hat had :been off, that I might have seen his face as those little blue,_ chilled feet met his eyes. I noticed that he pat 'them in his. bosom, and buttoned his jacket over them and held the child Close, and went on his way with, a heavy stamp, as if he beat hip feet &via on the ground; his wife, slip shod and tottering, had hard work to keep up with him.' - I had a faint suspicion of *bat was passia r ,c , in the man's mind. From that night I was glad that I saw.him no more among the frequenters of the "Pos and flpese." He and his wife' and child for weal or woo, had dropped out of . my ken, and almost-out of my mind. Some months after, there was a meet- ing at the Temperance Hall of the dis trict, and many working men were pres ent, and gave their testimony to the good effects of perfect sobriety; now and then they told little bits of their history, about the reasons that led them to give up the public. house. . One tall, Well dressed, re;, speetable looking man listened earnestly, fill one, who sat quite'near him said; "Say a word,' William Turner : you known at; much about the mischief as any one here or anywhere; come tell us; for I never heard how it was you changed right about face; from, the mouth of hell to the field,of hope. ome man, out with it; it will may-be do good.". ' - The young.man thus urged, rose at the first word, and looked for a moment very confused; all' he could' say was : "The lit tle shoes, they did it." With a ,thiek voice as if his-,heart was in his throat, he kept repeating this. There was a stare of perplexity on every face, and at length some tiaoughtless young people began - to titter. „ The man, in all, his embarrass ment, heard this sound, and rallied At once. The light came into bis eyes with a flash, lie drew himself up had 1 oked at the aiadience, the - choking went from - his throat..' "Yes,. frienda,!" he said, in 'a yokel ; that.;ent its . way, clear deep toned. bell, "whaieverycin may think of it, I've told you the truth=the little shoes did it.

I put them al.= cold as tee, to my. breast; they pierced me through and through. Yes the little feet walked right into my heart, and turned out my selfishness. I had "a trifle of money; left. rboli g ht a loaf and a pair of little shoes. I never tasted anything bat a. bit of that bread on the Sabbath day, and I went to work like mad on Monday, and from that day I have spent no more money at the public house.
