riY EABLY FLAME.
Ah ! when I was a little boy
I deeply fell in love
But whether she was ugly, or
The prettiest little dove,
I don't remember, but I know
I loved her to excess?
And it was all because she wore
* A beautiful red dres* !
The blandest air that evev breathed
Along the month of June
Bore heavenly odors on its wings
In that sweet afternoon?
The clover blossoms looked more red.
The flowers sh* plucked, alas!
Breathed paradise! and round her spread
A halo on the grass.
I see her now?the red, red bird
That hopped about and sang ;
That charmed my eyes, and ears, and oh 1
That gave my heart a pang.
I looked and loved, and loved and looked.
Impatient to caress
The littlp nnwAl in her hritrlit
? o? CAnd
beautiful red dress.
I know they say that red is Dutch,
And vulgar, and all that:
But it was red that gave my heart
Its sweetest pitipat 1
That opened first the fount of love
Which since has known excess;
Bat never yet so sweet a thrill
As throbbed to that red dress.
I've liked the color evjy- dnce?
The loveliest of th?^P*^a!
It lends the rose its richest tint,
And crowns the how of heaven.
I like it in the ruby lip.
And in the maiden's blush,
And in the ruddy streams that form
The ripened vintage gush.
I like it in the evening cloud
That hangs upon the west.
Deep-blushing in the crimson flood
As Phoebus sinks to rest.
I like its tints at early dawn,
And at the evening's close;
I like it everywhere, except
Upon the toper's nose.
THE KING OF THE NINE-PINS.
Heinrich Schwartz, or Black Hal, as he wa
wont to be called, was an old toper, but h<
was possessed of infinite good humor, and rela
ted a great many very queer stories, the trutl
of which no one that I ever heard of had th
hardihood to doubt; lor Black Hal had an un
common share of "Teutonic pluck" about hin
and was at times very unceremonious in th
display of it. But Hal had a weakness?i
was not liouor. for that was his strength?
_ t 0
which he never denied; Hal icas fond <>%
Nine-Pin*. He had told me, in confidence
that "many a time and oft" he had rolled in
cessantly for weeks together. I think I hean
him say that he once rolled for a month, da;
and night, without stopping a single momen
to eat or drink, or even to catch his breath.
I did not question his veracity at the time
but 9ince, on reflection, the fact seems almos
incredible j and were it not that this sketcl
might accidentally fall in his way. I might b
tempted to show philosophically that such :
thing could not possibly be. And yet I hav
read of very long fasts in my day?that, fo
instance, of Captain Riley in the Sahara, an<
others, which will readily occur to the reader
But I must not episodize, or I shall not read
my story.
Black Hal was sitting late one afternoon ii
a Nine-Pin Alley, in the little town of Katskill
in the State of New York?it is true, for ht
said so?when a"tremeudous thunder-storm in
vested his retreat. Hfs companions, one bj
one, had left him, until, rising from his sea
and gazing around, he discovered that he wa:
alone. The alley-keeper, too, could nowher*
be found, and the boys were employed to so
up the pins had disappeared with the rest. T
was growing very late, and Hal had a Ion;
walk, and he thought it most prudent to ge
ready to start home. The lightning glared i
at the door and windows most vividly, and th
heavy thunder crashed and rumbled and roai
ed louder than he had ever heard it before.The
rain, too, now commenced to batter dow
tremendously, and just as night set in, H;
just got ready toset out. Hal first felt uneasi
next unhappy, and fiually miserable. If li
hnd hot a bov to talk to ! I'm afraid Hal b<
ran to grow scared. A verse that he leurno
in his boyhood, across the wide sea, came in
asked into his mind. It always came thei
precisely at the time he did not desire its con
pany. It ran thus :
"Oh! for the might of dread Odin.
The powers upon him shed.
For n sail in the good ship JSkidhladnir.
And a talk with Mimer's head!*'
This verse was repeated over and over agai
inaudibly ; gradually, however, his voice h<
came a little louder, still, until finally pot
Ilal hallooed it vociferously forth so sonorous!
that it drowned the very thuuder. He had r<
peated it just seventy-seven times, when sue
denly a monstrous head was thrust in at tli
door, and demanded in a voice that soundc
like the maelstorm, "What do yon want wit
Odin?" "Oh! nothing, nothing in the work
I thank you, sir," politely responded poor Ha
shaking from head to foot. Here the head wn
followed by the shoulders, arms, body and lee
of a giant at least forty feet high. Of cours
he came in on all fours, and approached i
close proximity, to Black Hal. Hal invc
luntarily retreated, as far as ho oould, recitiu
to himself the only prayer he remembered
"NoI lay me down to sleep," etc.
The giant did not appear desirous, of pursu
ing Hal, being afraid,?so Hal said,?tha
he troidd draw his knife on him. But be th
9ause what it might, he seated himself at th
head of the nine-pin alley, and shouted, "Stan
up!" As he did so, the nine pins at the othe
end arose and took their places.
<kNow, sir," said he, turning again to Ha]
"I'll bet you an ounce of your blood that lea
beat you rolling."
Hal trembled again, but meekly replied
"Please, sir, we don't bet Hood now-a?days?
we bet money."
"Blood is tuy money," roared forth th
giant; "Fee, fo, fum !" Hal tried in vain t
hoist the window.
"Will you bet?"
"Yes, sir," said Hal; and he thought as i
was only an ounce, he.could >pare that with
out much danger, and it might appease th
monster's appetite.
"Roll first!" said the giant,
"Yes, sir!" replied Hal, as he seized wha
he supposed to be the largest and his favoriti
ball.
"What are you doing with Mimir's head?'
roared forth the monster.
"I beg your pardon, movst humbly," begar
Hal, as he let the bloody head fall; "I did noi
mean any harm."
"Rumble, bang-whang!" bellowed the thunder.
Hal fell on his knees and recited most devoutly,
"Now I lay me down," etc."
"Roll on! roll on! I say," and the giant
seized poor Hal by the collar and set him on
his feet.
He now selected a large ball, and poising it
carefully in hii bud! ran a few itepe, and sent
it whirling right in among the nine-pins; but
what was his astonishment to behold them
jump lightly aside, and permit the ball to pass
in an avenue directly through the middle of
the alley. Hal shuddered! The second and
third ball met with no better success. Odin
?for Hal said it was certainly he, as he had
Mimir's head along?now grasped a ball and
rolled it with all his might; but long before it
reached the nine pins, they had, every one of
them, tumbled down, and lay sprawling on the
alley.
"Two spares 1" said the giant, as he grinned
most gleefully at poor Hal. "Clet up !" and
up the pins all stood instantly. Taking another
ball, he hurled it down the alley, and
the same result followed. "Two more spares!"
and Odin shook his gigantic sides with laughI
ter.
"I give up the game," whined out Hal.
| "Then you lose double," rejoined Odin.
Hal readily consented to pay two ounces, for
! he imagined, by yielding at once, he would so
much the sooner get rid of his grim companion.
I As he said so, Odin pulled a pair of scales out
j of his coat pocket, made proportionnbly to his
i own size. He poised them upon a beam in
j the alley, and drew forth what he denominated
| two ounces, an^put them in one scale. Kach
ounce was about the size of a twenty-eight
pound weight and was quite as heavy.
"Ha ! ha ! ha !! ha ! ha ! ha :!! ha ! ha !
ha !!!!" shouted the giant, as he grasped the
grasping and terrified gambler. He soon rolled
up his sleeves, and bound his arm with a
pocket handkerchief. Next he drew forth n
lancet as long as a sword, and drove the point
into the biggest vein he could discover. Hal
screamed and fainted ! When he returned tc
consciousness the sun was shining brightly in
at the window, and the sweet rumbling of the
balls assured him that he still lay wrere the
giant left him. On rising to his feet he per
ceived that a large coagulum of blood had collected
where his head rested all night, and that
he could scarcely walk from the effects of his
exhaustion. He returned immediately home
s and told his wife all that had occurred , and
e though, like some of the neighbors, she dis
trusted the tale, yet she never intimated hoi
^ doubts to Black Hal himself. The alley-keepe
er assured me in a whisper, one day, that up
on the very night tixed on by Hal for the ada
venture, he was beastly drunk, and had hoen
e engaged in a fight with one of his boon coint
panions, who gave him a black eye and a blood)
- nose. But the alley-keeper was always joal/
ous of Black Hal's superiority in story telling ;
? besides he often drank too much himself, and

r I fifty years of age, entered the office of a Ilealtl
j Insurance Company, in Indiana, a few day:

English and American Laborers.?
Place the small yeoman or farm-laborer of K11
gland by the side of the same class in America,
and the contrast is great. The coarse,
; heavy clothes, the slouching, lumbering walk,
rough speech and lifeless stolidity of the one
do not appear in a favorable light by the side
> of the slim, active, light-clothed, intelligent,
i inquisitive and somewhat restless American.
I have often sighed to think the figure before
me, clad in fustain shooting-coat, plush waistcoat,
knee breeches, gaiters and half-boots,
with a hundred weight of iron on the soles,
was a fair specimen of the English 'raw material.'
Those who have been in America, will
I am sure, agree with me in this. Ascending
a little higher in social scale, there is less to
i reform, and there is less superiority. Still
the manners of the retail dealer, easy and self;
reliant, are a great improvement upon the
cringing, humble servility often found in the
shopkeeper at home. Among professional
men there is not much difference. Education
rubs down the salient angels everywhere; but
I almost incline to think that in this class the
scale would turn the other way. Really good
society is not easy of access to a traveler in
the United States, lie mus not only come
well recommended, but must linger long upon
his road. The hotel, the steamboat, or the !
rail are not fair nlaees to iud<re of national I
' manners, particularly in a nation composed of i
such heterogeneous materials as this. Quiet ,
, j educated people in the Republic keep rather
; , in the background; and such are to he found !

"YOU WILL TAKE TIME TO DIE."
Years ago, a young housekeeper, far away
in the West was solicited by an elderly servant,
to attend a weekly meeting.
"Oh I have not time, Mrs. O'nialia," she
replied. "The baby will cry?Mrs. Smith
will call probably?I wish to finish the gar-!
ment I have had on hnnd so long?positively, '
T have not time to go.'
"You will take time to die, Madam?par- j

ly and sternly.
That arrow hit its mark. All the excuses !
offered by that thoughtless young lady had I
been empty as the wind; the babe would j

righteousness" more potent than hundreds of, ,
the learned and talefitcd had heen ; and she
quailed beneath the tixed gaze of her calm
blue eye, and kept silence like a chastised
child.
Mrs. Gray went to that meeting, and there
she learned to pray. She always had 'time' to

good word and wck, and no presentiments a- '

Thev are constantly Hitting from one side of

ascertain tin; minimum of evil, which a man
mav shoulder, without losing his respectability
among his fellows.
But no one can live long in this 'twilight
between vice and virtue,' without having his
moral preeeptions uiscurcd, and his finer sensibilities
blunted. He who straddles two hobbies
at once, is prfiiy sure to fall between
them; and so it is nth the man who tries to
walk two ways at the same time. It is an
experiment which one may safely try, for
any considerable peri >d. The would-be 'neu- j

in the midst of care, or sorrow, or irksome \ j
business; and then we turn away and listen, |
and hear it ringing through the room like a ! v
silver bell, with power to scare away the ill j
spirits of the mind. How much we owe to that | ~
sweet laugh ! It turns the prose of our life in- j
(o poetry, it fling* showers of sunshine over I
the darksome wood in which we are travelling,
it touches with light even our sleep, which
is no more the image of death, but is consumed
with dreams that are the shadows of immorality.
Tub National (1 Attn in Russia.?It is
stated that, according to the Russian law,
every nobleman and civil functionary, from the
highest to the lowest grade, wears a uniform.
This custom was, until recently, in the fashion
of a dress coat, with standing collars and embroidery.
A late ukase has, however, changed
his foreign habit habille into the old national
kaftan, or long frock and large loose trousers,
much better suited to the climate. The German
papers say that this change have been received
with intense satisfaction. All classes,
even from childhood upward, in St. Petersburg,
Moscow, and the other eities, fling aside
with disgust every article of Western manu
facture, ami adopt the newly created national
grab of loose trousers and easy jacket of grey
cloth, with green collars and cross upon the
breast. Hatred will thus go down and passing
from sire son, penetrate the lihres ol'the heart,
and faculties of the mind.

for the sale of OTIS' IMPROVED LIGHTNING
CONDUCTORS, respectfully inform the citizen- of

put them up. at the shortest notice. This invention
is really the only method of absolute protection

given by scientific men ami the most
prominent journals ??i* the country, we extract the
following from the Lynn Xnrs:?
A safer, a more beautiful or scientific conductor
cannot be conceived than the one recently invented
hy Mr. G. Otis, of this city. It is constructed of
the liest rough split soft iron, with an elegant rhomlioidal
head of yellow metal, gilt hy the electrotype
process, thereby excluding oil. glue, varnish, or other
non-conductors. It is as nearly perfectly insulated
from the house as it can he made, hv fastenings
of glass, in which the pointed staple is cemented,
and the whole embedded in a neatly turned wooden
foot, which is to he fastened to the house. Mr. Otis
can safely insure the life, limb and property, that
enjov the protection of this admirable conductor."

Chester Carriage Factory.
rpiIE undersigned is now prepared to manufacture,
ft. at his New Establishment, in Chestcrvillc, all
kinds of CARRIAGES, adapted to our rough and hilly
country, and of the best Materials. Ho would
suggest, as almost every man in the up-country is
more or less a judge of timber, before you buy or order
a Carriage, no mutter where, look around and
see what sort of Lumber the builder has and in what
condition it is kept. The Carriage-Maker may Lie,
Boast, or Blaster as much as he pleases, but the
(fraud Secret of carriage-making lies in the LumberPile.
To buy a cheap Negro. Horse or Carnage, is to
verify the old adage : Penny icise and Pound foolish.
Give me a fair price for my work, and then if it is
not made right, hold me responsible.
If it were not for Paint, Putty and Glue,
What would we poor Carriage-Makers do?
