A work entitled "The North Devon Scenery Book," recently published in En gland, fur nishes a number of Nord' Devonshire legends, one of which deserves a place in Howitt's History of the Supernatural. We quote : "Not many years-agb - an old man was living in the village who possessed a fiddle and was able to discourse, merry music upon it. There was a large upstair•room in his house which was called the dancing chamber, and here the boys and maidens'of Cotubmartin used lo as semble once a month, and dance, and talk, and flirt in their honest country fashion, and other wise enjoy-themselves after their day's work. "When 'the fiddler was dead, his daughter married, and she and her husband continued to live in the old man's house. But as the husband could not play the fiddle the dancing chamber was of no Use, and it was consequent ly converted to domestic purposes. "The alterations' had' scarcely been comple ted when the hour became suddenly uninha bitable. -Every night the most fearful noises rang from the floor to the roof—noises as though'a score of horses were galloping uk and down the old danoing chamber, to the mous panituent of the loud cracking of whips and other similar unnatural sounds. • "So that, as you may suppose, the family got but scanty rest at night ; and were nearly driven to their wits' end by fright and perplex ity. "At last the husband betook himself to the parson of the parish, and asked for advice and assistance in so disagreeable a state of affairs. "The parson suggested that such kinds of alarming noises were frequently caused by rats, and counseled him to.procure the services of an expert in the killing of such unpleasant vermin. "In about a week the man again paid a visit to the rectory, evidently wrought up to a pitch of desperation by,his broken sleep and trou bled dreams.- "'lt was no rats,' he said ; they bad haun ted in vain for such tbinwil it was 'a spirit —whose, he couldn't tell, bet there was no doubt that it was a real spirit; and the only thing to be done was to Itave,it laid by the parson. If, he added, it should 'oe too strong for one parson he hoped the rector would be BY ETWA 9; ALLEN TLE, PA., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1863. good enough to get two other clergymen to join him, for he had been assured there was no spirit so powerful as to be able to stand out against the united powers of three persons. "The rector, however, declined to revive the old custom of exorcism; and consequently his parishioner went home with a troubled and an angry heart. "A few days afterwards he came hack once more, with a gleeful countenance, and said that the spirit was laid, and that he himself had been able to effect the desired result. "Partly swayed by the absolute necessity of doing something to penetrate the mystery. part ly persuaded, by the sensible exhortations of the rector, he and his wife had instituted anoth er thorough search in the haunted rooms, and. after fnuA ripping up of roof and floor and waistcoat, they discovered au old silk waistcoat belonging to the deceased fiddler, snugly con cealed in the thatch immediately above the dancing-chamber. In one of the pockets of this garinent were two half crowns. "It became, therefore, immediately plain to them that the old man had been troubled at the loss which his family had sustained through the concealment of his hoard ; and that the above mentioned noises were the unnecessarily strong means . which ,had been taken to draw his daughter's attention to the hidden treas- M 23 "In proof of this opinion it happened that henceforward the disturbance totally ceased; and to this day, happily fur the inhabitants of the cottage, the spirit has remained at rest." THE MARRIAGE ALTAR. Judge Carlton, in an excellent address be fore the Young Men's Library Association at Augusta, Me., .thus sketches the warriaLe scene : I have drawn you many pictures of death ; let me sketch for you a brief but bright scene of beautiful life. It is the marriage altar. A lovely female, clothed in all the freshness of youth and surpassing beauty, leans upon the arm of him to whom she has just given her self up forever. Look in her eyes, ye gloomy philosophers, and tell me, if you dare, that there is no happiness on earth. See the trust ing, the heroic devotion which compels her to leave country and parents, for a comparative stranger. She has lunched her trail bark .upon, a wide and stormy sea; she has handed over her happiness 4ud - doom foi. this world to another_ 's keeping; but she has done it fearless. ly, for love whispers to her that her chosen guardian and protector bears. a manly and no ble heart. Oh, woe to him that forgets his oath and his manhood I Her dark wings shall the raven flap O'er the false hearted, His warm blood the wolf shall lap, Ere life be parted, Shame and dishonor sit On his grave ever, Blessing shall hallow it, Never! Oh never! We have read all the history of the hus band who, in a" moment of hasty wrath, said to her who had but a few moments before united her fate with his : "If you are not satisfied with my conduct, go, return to your friends and to your hap piness. ."And you will give me back that which I brought to you?" asking the despairing wile. "Yes," be replied, "all your wealth shall go with you; I covet it not." "Alas'!" she answered, "I thought not of my wealth—l spoke of my loves; can you give these back to me ?" "No !" said the man as he flung himself at her feet; "No ! I cannot restore these, but I will do more—l will keep them unsullied and untainted; I will cherish them through my life and in my death; and never again will I. forget that I have sworn to protect and cherish her who gave up to me all she held most dear." Did I not tell you there was poetry in a woman's look—a woman's word? See it there ! the mild, the gentle reproof of love, winning back from it harshness and rudeness the stern and unyielding temper of an ugly man. Ah, if creation's fairer sex only knew their strong est weapons, huw many of wedlock's fiercest battles would be unfought; how much happi ness and coldness would be avoided. FEMALE DELICACY.—Above every feature which adorns the female character delicacy stands foremost within the province of good taste. Not that delicacy which is perpetually in quest of something to be ashamed of, which makes Merit of a blush, and simpers at the false construction its own ingenuity has put upon an innocent xemark, this spurious kind of delicacy is as lar removed from good taste us from good feeling and good sense. WILLING TO MA-ICE IT RIGHT. Mr. M., of Northern Vermont, is not distin guished for liberality, either of purse or opin ion. His ruling. passion is a fear of being cheated. The loss, whether real or fancied, of a Few cents, would give him more pain than the destruction of our entire navy. He one day bought a large cake of tallow at a country store at ten cents a pond. On breaking it to pieces at home, it was found to contain a large cavity. This he considered a terrible disclos are of cupidity and fraud. He drove furious ly back to the store, entered in great excite ment, bearing the tallow, and exclaiming : "Here, you rascal, you have cheated me! Do you call that au honest cake of tallow? It is hollow, and there ain't near so much of it as there appered to be at first. I want you to make it right." "Certainly, certainly," replied the merchant. " I'll make it right. I didn't know the cake was hollow. Let me see; you paid ten cents per pound. Now, Mr. M., how much do you suppose the hole would weigh ?" Mr. M., returned home with the dishonest tallow, but was never quite satisfied that he had not been cheated by buying holes at ten cents per pound. GIVE HIM A TRADE. if education is the great buckler and shield of liberty, well developed industry is equally the buckler and shield of individual independ ence. As an unfailing resource through life give your son, equal with a good education, a good honest trade. Better any trade than none, though there is ample room for adoption of every inclination in this respect. Learned professions and speculative employments may fail a man ; but an honest hardicraft trade Bel. dom or never—if its possessor °hoses to exer cise it. Let bim feel, too, that honest labor crafts are honorable and noble—the men of trades—the real creator of whatever is most essential to the necessities and welfare of man kind, cannot be dispensed with. They, above all others, in whatever repute they have been held by their most fastidious fellows, must work .at the ore of human progress, or all is lost. But few brown handed trade workers think of this, or appreciate the real power and position they compass. Give your son a trade, no matter what fortune he may have. A BIT OF ADVICE FOR BOYS " You were made to be kind," says Horace Mann, "generous and magnanimous. If there is a boy in school who has a club-foot, don't let him know that you ever saw it. If there is a poor' boy with ragged clothes, don't talk about rags when he is in hearing. If there is a lame boy, assign him some part of the gawe which does not require running. It there is a hungry one, give him part of your dinner. If there is a dull one, help him to get his lesson. It' there is a bright one, be not envious of him; fur if one boy is proud of his talents, and auothbr is envious of them, there two are great wrongs, and no more talents than before. If a larger or a stronger boy has injured you, and is sorry for it, for give him, and request the teacher not to punish him.— All the school will show by their countenance how much better it is than to have a great fist." .ffip ONE EXTRA ELATE. "I have always one extra plate to my table," said a Christian Woman. The command is "Be careful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." As I never know when the angel will come, I think it wisest to be always ready and waiting for them. I have set this example for a long course of years, and my testimony is that my hospitality has rarely been abused, and that I have been honored many, many times by sheltering and feeding the angles of God. These hay.e brought a blessing with them ;• and now, as I - shall soon be done with earth tables, I would recommend all who desire to entertain Christ, to set an extra plate for, his messenger." UNCLE SAM had a neighbor who was in the habit of working on Sunday, but alter a while he joined the church. Oue day he met the wiuister to the church he belonged, "Well, Uncle Sam," said he, "do you see any differ ence in Mr. P. since he joined the church ?" - Oh, yea," said Uncle Sam, "a great differ ence. Before, when he went out to wend his fences on Sunday, he carried his axe on his shoulder, but now he carries it under his over- coat." Death and the sun ave this in common— few gaze at them steadily. AD VERTISIN RATES.

The two faculties of speech and speech inaking are wholly diverse in their natures. The hours should be instructed by the ages, and the ages explained by the hours. A Sheriff's officer is a man who never leaves another in distress. Cotrseienee is a Monitor, but the Monitors in most bosoms are iren-elad. Beware of women who seem very sweet.— Dealers in candy are not always candid, A man who is too lazy to investigate charges of guilt should be ashamed to believe them. All mercantile houses, where duties are well attended to, are sure to become custom houses. The heart, like a watchman, should confine itself to its regular beat.
