AIWAYB LOVE.
Because Love's sigh is but a sigh,
Doth it the less Love's heart disclose?
Because the rose must fade and die,
Is it the less the lovely rose?
Because black night must shroud the day,
Shall the brave sun no more be gay ?
Derausefchill auturo# frights the birds.
Shell we distrust that spring will come 7
ecause sweet wor s aro on y words,
Shall love for ever more be dumb?
Because our bliss is fleeting bliss,
Shall we \i'ho love forbear to kiss
Because those eyes of gentle myrth
Must sometirne_cease_my heart to thrill-,
Because the sweetest voice on earth
Sooner Or later must be still,
.Ilerause its idol is unsure,
Shall my strong love the less endure!
Ah, no! let lovers brealhe their sighs ,
And rocs bloom, and music sound,
And passion burn on lips and eyes,
and P lensure's world go ever round;
Let golden sunshine flood the sk
And let me love or let me die ! • •• .

Wouldn't Take Twenty Dollars.
Some waggish students at Yale College, a
f - t7v — years since, were regaling themselves one
evening at the- "lontine,' when an old farm
er from the country entered the room (talt
ino• it fat ,he bar room) and i otpirml*,if he
could obtain I"llf4inf• 'I he young chaps im
mmhately answered in the affirmative, invit
ing him to take a glass of punch. The old
felloW, who was a shrewd Yankee, saw at
oncc that he was to be made the butt of their
jests, but quietly 'laying off his hat and tell
ing a worthless little dog he had with him
to lie under the chair, he took a glass of the
proffered beverage. The students anxiously
inquired after the health of the old man's
wife and, children, and the farmer, with af
fected simplicity, gave them the whole ped
igree, with numerous anecdote s about his
farm, stock, &c.
'Do you belong to the church asked one
of the wags.
'Yes, the Lord be praised, and so did my
father before me.'
'Well, I suppose you would not tell a lie?'
replied the student.
'Not for the world,' added the farmer.
'Now what will you take for that dog ?'
pointing to the farmer's cur, who was not
worth his weight in Jersey mud.
would not take twenty dollars 'for that
dog.'
'Twenty dollars? why ho , is not worth
twenty cents.'
'Well, I assure you I wouloritot take twen
ty dollars lot him.
'Ootno my friend,' said the student, who
with his companions was bent on having
a one elpital fun with the old - man. 'Now
you say you won't tellia lie for the ttorld, let
me see if you will do it for twenty dollars.—
I'll give you twenty dollars fur yuur dog'
I'll not take it,' replied the farmer.
• 'You will not ? Here let us see if this will
tempt you to tell a lie,' added the student,
producing a smalrlag of half' dollars, front
which he dounted small piles on the table,
where the farmer sat with his hat in his hand,
apparently unconcerned. 'Them' added
the student, 'there are twenty dollars all in
silver. I will :live you that for your dog.'
The chi farmer quietly raised his hat to
the edge of the table, and then as quick us
thought scraped all the money into it except
one half dollar, at the same time exclaiming,
'I won't take your twenty dollars ! Nineteen
and a half is as much as the dog is worth-.-
Ito is your property 1'
A tremendous laugh from his follow stu
dents showed the would-be wag that he was
completely -done up,' and that he need not
look for help from that quarter; so the good
naturedly acknowledged beat, insisted on the
-old farmer taking another glass,, and they
parted in great glee—the student retaining
his dog, which ho kepi td this day, as a les
son to him never toactempt to play tricks on
men older than himself, and especially to be
careful how he tries to wheedle a Yankee
farmer.

A Confirmed Grumbler.
Some time ago there lived in Edinburg a
well-known grumbler, named Sandy Black,
whose often recurring fits of spleen or indi
gestion produced sonic amusing scenes of
senseless irritability, which were highly rel
ished by all except the brute's good, patient
little wile. One morning Sandy res' - .3 bent
on a quarrel; the haddies and eggs were ex
cellent, dune to a turil, and had been order
ed by himself the previous cvning, and
breakfast passed without the louked-for cause
of complaint.
"What will you have, for dinner, Sandy P'
said Idis. Black.
"A chicken, madam," said the husb nd.
"Boast or boiled," asked the wife.
"Confound it, madam, if you had been a
good and considerate wife, you'd have known
hefore this what i liked," Sandy growled
out, and, slamming the door behind him, left
the house.
It was in the spring, and a friend who was
present heard the little wife say, "Sandy's
beet on a disturbance to-day; I shall not
please him, do what 1 can."
The dinner-time came and Sandy and his
friend sat down to dinner; the fish was eaten
in silence, and, ou raising the cover of the
dish before him, m a towering passion he
called out, "Bulled chicken ! I hate it, mad
am. A chicken boiled is a chicken qp,o ed,"
Immediately the cover was raised twin an
other chicken, roosted to a turn.
"Madam, I won't cat roast chicken !" rear
ed Sandy; "you know how it should hucle
been cooked 1"
At that instant a ''broiled chicken, with
mushrooms, was plueed on the table.
"Without green peas :" roared the bruin-s
bier.
"Here they aro, dear," said Mrs. Black., 5
"flow dare you spend my money in thaf

"They were a present,'." said the wife in

A Wonderful Story
Tlie — fidloiving wonderful story is said to
have be= taken from. the logbook of a vessel
which agived in New York:
In the course' of th.e voyage, that dread
ful disease, shity , fevei', broke out among the
crew. One of the sailors, among the first
victims, - was ade'oilpinied by his son, a lad of
fourteen years, who was strongly attached
to his father, acid remained with him day
and night, and never could be persuaded to
leave him for a moment.
A large short was evely day following the
vessel, evidently for the purpose of devour
ing any one who should die and be eonnnit-
c otieieep,
After lingering a few days, the sailor died.
As was the custom at sea, he was sewed up
in a blanket and for the purpose of sinking
ahl — griudytuno—an - d- - a—carpeu - t&s
earpen-te
axe were put in with him. The very im
pressive service of the Episcopal (.3hurch was
then read, and his body committed to the
deep.
The poor boy, who had watched the pro
eceding&-closely,..-plun„,ffed-in after his father,
when the commons shark swallowed them
both. The second_day_after this dreadful
scene, as the shark continued to follow Cho
vessel—for there were others sick in the
ship—one of the sailors proposed as they
had a shark hook on board, to make an et.
fort to take him.
Tlrey fastened the hdok en a long rope
and baitiug it with a piece of pork, threw, it
into the sea,
and the shark instantly swab
lowed it. Having thus hooked him, by_
means of a windlass they hoistel him on
board. After he was dead they prepared to
open him, when one of the sailors, stooping
down for that purpose, suddenly paused, and
of ter listenino , ° a few moments declared most
solemnly he heard a low guttural sound,
which appeared to proceed from the shark.
The sailors, after enjoying a hearty laugh at
his expense, proceeded to listen for them
- yes, when they were compelled to admit
they heard a sirvilar sound. They then pro
ceeded to_open the shark when the mystery
was explained. •
It appears that the sailor was not dead, but
on a trance; and his son on making this dis
covery _who) inside the shark, had by means
if a knife, ripped the blanket, having thus
liberated his father, they both went to work
and righted up the old grindr.tone—the boy
was turning, the father was holding on to
the old ship carpenter's axe; sharpening it
for—the-purpose of eutainy, their way ou o
their Jonah like prison, which occasioned
the noise heard by the sailor. As it was
the bott.2st season of the year, and very lit
tle air stirring where they were at work, they
were both sweating tremendiously.

that the old lady was rather ignorant, and
being somewhat of a wag, informed her that
it was a new fan he had lately received from
the East, at the same time taking the bel.

telling her that was the mode of operation
The lady repeated the operation on herself,

Give Us this day our Daily Bread
In a miserable cottage at the bottom of a
bill, two children hovered over a smoulder
ing fire. A tempest raged without, a fear•
fill tempest, against which man awl beast
were alike powerless. A poor, old miser,
much poorer than those children, though he
had heaps of money at home, drew his rag
ged cloak around him as he crunched . down
at the threshold at the miserable door lie
dared not enter fur fear they should ask pay
for shelter, and he could not move fdr the
storm.
"I am hungry, Nettie."
"So am I. I've hunted for a potato par:

"What an• awful storm !"
"Yes, the old tree has blown down. I
guess God took care that it didn't blow on

"lf he could do that, couldn't be send us

and shivering listened. When they paused,
expecting in their childish faith to see some
miraculous manifestation, a human feeling
stole into his heart, sent by an angel to sof

ing it would last him a great whila, but the
of — the tAr - fardren spake louder to_

pened the door softly, threw in the loaf, and
then listened to the wild eager cry of' delight
that came from the half famished little ones.
_ "It dropped down iron] {leaven didn't it?"
continued the younger; "Yes, I rnean to love
God forever for giving us urea because we
asked him. We'll ask him every day, won't
we? Why, I never thought God was so

"Yes, I always thought so, but I never
quite knew it before."
"Let's ask him to give father work to do
all the time, so we need never be hungry a

The storm pa:NA—the miser went home.
A little flower had sprung up in his heart.
It was no longer barren.
In a few weeks he died, but not before he
had given the cottage, which was his, to the
poor laboring man. .
And the little children ever after felt a
sweet and solemn emotion, when i❑ their de
votions they came to these trustful words:
"Lave us this day our daily bread."

"I think I am - yet hungry, you may bring

BABE-IN THE WOODS.—On the evening
of the 30th of June, a little daughter of Mr-
L. Hahn, residingnear Incleory Bill, Cole
co., Mo,, wandered off into the woods and
got lust. Three nights and two days after
wards she was found 12 miles front home,
in Miller county, entirely safe, but thour
cmghly bewildered. She states that one
night two hound dogs canto and slept with
her-till morning, keeping- her warm add then
de'parted. She tells also of seeing another
animal, which was supposed to be a wolf
Mr. Hahn, in token of gratitude to his neigh
bOrs, who turned out eu-nrase in search of
her, held a pie nie, and invited them al
be present.
Two men were at work io a hay field in
Brookville, Connecticut, when a heavy show
or came on, attended with very severe thun
der and lightning. One or the moo, who
had been always no led in that locality for
his wickedness, remarked to his_ companion
that he would like to have a string of light
ning around his neck. hardly had be fin
ished the sentence when a thunderbolt
struck him on the head, tearing it complete
ly asunder, and laying him a corps upon
ihe field.
How TO AVOID CALUMNY —'lf one
speaks ill of thee,' said Epietetue, 'consider
whether lie hath truth on his side, and if so
reform thyself, that his censures may not
effect thee.' When Annximander was told
-th t-the-verrboys-laug-,h-ad — at — his- - singing;
'Ahrsaid he, 'then 1 au ust learn to sing
better.' Plato, being told that lie had many
enemies who spoke ill of him, said: shall
live so that none will believe them.' Hear-
ing at another time that an intimate friend:
of his had spoken dotractingly of him, hip,
said: 'I am sure he would not do it if ho hi l
not some reason for it.' This - is the surest
as well as the n)blest way of drawing the
sting out of a reproach, and the true method
of preparing a man for that great and only
relief against the pains of calumny.
INNOCENT PLEASURES.—In a sermon, de
livered by Rev Dr. Bellows, of New York
is the following paragraph: •
"For my own part, I say it in all solemni

The following is from the "Reveries &a--
Bachelor:" by Ike Marvel:
"A poor man withoufsonie sort of religion
is,at best,a poor reprobutertho-Lact-balb&des
tiny, with no tie linking him to affinity and to
the wondrous eternity that is even worse—a
flame without heat, a rainbow without color a
flower without perfume. A mao may, in
some sort, tic his hopes and his honorit to
this weak, shifting ground tackle to his bus
iness or the world, but a woman without
that anchor called faith, is a drift and a
wreck. A man may clumsily-continue-a sort
'of moral iosponsibility out of relation to
mankind; but a woman, in her comparitivelj
isolated sphere, where affection and not pur
pose is the controlling motive, can find no
919 in-aisfet-h-c-r-syste g ht cif action
but that of faith. A man" may craze .his
brain
. or his thoughts to trustfulness, in
such poor harborage as fame and reputation
may stretch before him, but a woman—
where can she put her hopes in storms if
not in heavea? And that sweet trustfulness
—that abiding love—that - endurino c hope,
l '
mellowini every page and scene of life—
lighting them with pleasant radiance when
the world's storms break like an army with
cannon? Who can bestow its all but holy
soul, tied to' what is stronger than en army
with cannon? Who has enjoyed •the lovo
of a Christian mother bur will echo the
thoughts with energy and hallow it .with 'a
tear?"
