A STORY. OF OLDEN TIMES.
By a Stale law of the State of New York
from April to December; all persons were
prohibited from killing deers, under a penal
ty of ten dollars, the informer to get one
half, and in default of payment ten lashes on
the naked buck.
A Yankee pasting through the State of
New York, near Albany, in the month of
November, observed a young Dutchman,
from- a barer door ; scittinting over' , his shovel
at a deet. abottt thirty paces from him, and
soliloquising thus: • •
°Mine Cot-4f I bad mine gun here, and
it Wits not for the law, I would have some
eer_formine_ti n n Pr
The Yankee had a rifle_with him and im
mediately shot the deer, and threw his fiiid
into the snow, unobserved by the Dutchman
and running up to him said—
'A..h! my good fellow, you have been kil
brig a deer—far I saw yon you shot him
with the shovel.'
The Dutchman very much frightened; re
plied:
'Mirk Cot!— I did not tink *tine shovel
was loaded: I did not tink it would go off,
I never knew it to go off Wore.'
'Well,' ,said the Yankee, 'you have killed
the deer ; and I will go to the justice and
complain of you, and make you pay your
fine, unless you give nici the skin and two
'Vell,' . said the Dutchman, '4.ho' I dartot
tink lay tamed shovel vould go off, dat is
petter dun pay ten
So the bargain was concluded; the Yan
kee receiving the skin and the two dollars
left the Dutchman to take care of the veni
son.
While the Dutchman was taking care of
his venison, and before he had put it out of
the way, another • Dutchman came up and
threatened to complain,, upon which Hans
the Shovel Shooter, related all that had pas
sed bet Ween himself arid the Yankee.
Vanderhausen told Hans he had been ini
rirme—tr—Y-aukee kille I tl e deer
. - - aff,
_himself. The two Dutchmen then agreed
to pursue the Yankee, - and to brin ,, him be ,-
fore the justice and have him fined.
They soon evertook him and carried him
before the, justice; and Hans entered his
complaint pro bond pdblico. W hare-upon,
the justice, after hearing all the testimony
pro and con, and taki'g the subject Matter
into cool, and serious deliberation, come to
the conclusion that the Yankee kilkid the
.deer with a certain itistriiment
_called the
rifle and that he pay a fine of ten dollars, or
he be whiplitd ten lashes. The----Yankee
chose the latter. The jnstic then ordered
the Yankee to be stripped, tied to a tree and
the whip applied. There being no officer
present, the justice concluded to do the
whipping himself, and at it he went. After
he had given the Yimkee five lashes, and
was proceeding to give hint the other five,
the Yankee bawled out— , . •
ttip 1'
‘Vot i suitl the jdstio , 'WM is five more
to tome.'
The Yankee informed the justice that
half the pay went to the informer.

The Mother.
The following is from the pen of a distin
guished officer. The sentiments are true
and excellent, and beautifully expressed:
Around he idea of one's mother the min6l
of man clings with fond affection. tis tile
first deep thought stamped on our intlint
hearts, when yet soft add capable of receiv
ing the most profinind impressions, and all
the after feelings of the world are more or
less light in comparison. • I do not know
that oven hi old ago We do riot look back to
that feeling as the sweetest we have through
life. Onir passion and our willfulness may
lead us far front the object of our filial love;
We learn even to pain tier heart, to oppose
her wishes, to violate her commands, we may
become Wild or angry or head-strong at her
counsels or oppositions; but when death has
stilled her monitory voice, and nothing but
calm memory remains to recapitulate her
Virtues and good deeds, affection, like a flow
er beaten to
. the grodild by a past storm,
raises up her head add smiles 'aitiongst her
tears. Rotind that idea, as We have said,
the Mind clings with fond affection; and even
when the early period of onr loss forces
mernorrto be silent, fancy takes the place
of remembrance, and twines the image of
our dead parent witka garland of graces
and beauties, and virtues, which we doubt
not she possessed.

the grocer, the tailor, and assistants to him
in carrying on his bnsiness, have their de
mands, hardly ever so small as a single dol

must be diligently gathered and patiently
hoarded. or the wherewith to discharge the
liabilities will never become Alfficiently

A Mother's Love.
Writes a pious Matron from one of our
hospitals ...the solitary disciple of Christ a

there—
"In the nest bed is a young man who has
been delirious/or a week; he is very happy,
and thinks I inn his mother, as he is only 18
and 'Veirsick. He is a splendid boy s and
another mother's heart will ache also,"
Others, she adds, have died calling aloud
for their mother. Oh, what a wealth of
tle field; illustrating the tremendous power
and responsibility of the mother. Her
voice is heard above the roar of combat, and
floats on the air of .the quiet hospital. Her
counsel and prayers sttbdtie the Wayward

means can reach and save the soul.

KEEPIN' MEM AWAKE.—Near Newark,
N. J.,.lived a pious family who .had taken
an orphan to raise, who, by the way, was
rather underwittod. He had imbibed very
strict -views on religious matters, however,.
and once asked his adopted mother if 'she
didn't think it wrong for the old farmer to
come to church and fall asleep, paying no
better 'regard to the service. "Vile replied
she did. Accordingly, before going to
church the nest Sunday he filled his pocket
with apples. One bald-headed old man,
who invariably went to sleep during the ser
mon, particularly attracted his attention.—
Seeing him at last nodding and giving nasal
evidence of being in the "land of dreams,"
he hauled off and took the astounded sleep
er, with an apple, square on the top of his
bald pate. The minister and aroused con
gregation at once turned around and indig
nantly gazed at the boy, Who merely said to
the preacher, as he took another apple in.
his hand, with a sober, lio ,, est impression of
countenance, ''l'uu on; I'll keep 'em
awake."
EFFECT OF RIDICULE.-A pious lady of
the City of Richmond, Virginia, once loft a
church in company with her liftiband, who
was an impenitent man. She was a woman
of unusual vivacity, with a keen perception
of the ludicrous, and often playfully sarcas
tic. As they, walked along towards their
dwelling, she began-to-make—some-amusing
and spicy comments on the sermon, which a
stranger, a man of Very ordinary talents and
awkWard manner, had preached that morn
ing in the absence of the pastor. After run
ning on in this vein of sportive criticism to
her httiband, she turned and looked up in
his time. He wat; in tears. That sermon
had sent an arrow of conviction to his heart!
What must. have . been the anguish of the
conscience stricken wife, thus arrested in the
act of ridiculing a discourse which had been
the means, of awakening the anxiety of her
unconverted husband.---Rcligious "Jerald.

Stole on,Our sight, aeon our ear.•a tune •
That lotig-forgotten breathes of happy hogs.
The roses nodded to the passing breezes,
Their pale pink petals strewed the moisteneo

Through honeysuckles sweet, the belted bees
Their nectar-laden bugles hummed around.
The lofty chestnuts shook their feathery bloom;
The robin weibled from the 'pendant spray;
The breeze was scented with the faint perfume
Of clover buds, in gelds acre the way. •
The skylark fluttered -in the dewy grass,

The crystal stretatflet gleamed and flushed like gleurt,
The .grass along its margin grew a brighter green
Alone I wandered on that lovely morn.
And gazed upon flier broad - expanse of sky,
And listened to the hum of voices, borne
By truant zephyrs o'er the blooming rye.
I thought upon the glorious works of God,
The mystery of all His works and wogs,
Who paints the lilly and the verdant sod,
And tunes our stubborn hearts toeing Hid praise
I thought ofjoys vanished in the Past,
!The Present, and of ages yet to be,
Of dreams too bright. too beautiful to last,
And men I thought—Rata, I thought of ?nu
Though far away trim home and kindred dear,
Still, still thy lota, sweet voice and sweeter smile,
Dim merrier' , hannting,Wortes our hearts to cheer.

There is something cheerful to all who
