A DEVO.NSHIRE LEGEND
now a Fiddler% Spirit Troubled Hie
Daughter's%Tousehold.
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

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."

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.
