Deacoi Brown considered himself apillar of the Church and chief conservator of the 'public morals, nor was this idea of his al together a delusion. He was a strenuous advocate: of church 'discipline, and in his every.day walk presented to the world an example of the most rigid piety. Though, perhaps, a trifle Puritauic and bigoted, he was yet a man of the sternest and niost un compromising virtue. But, as Tomr Hood t~ay s: "Alas! for the rarity Of Christian charity Uudcr the sun." The old Deacon had nut the least bit of it. Having no fiults or ibibles of his own (at least he thought so) that called aloud for charity, he could not understand why they should ever form a component part in the natures of otherpeople. He'had passed the hay day of youti, and had quite fbrgvt ten that he was once young. With much business and responsibility resting on him self,.be failed to see how those with fewer cares could possibly be merry and uncon cerned. Indeed, the Deacon witnessed ma ny very common phenomena for which he could assign no other cause than moral de. pravity, and, withal, he had one weakness, which very naturally grew out of his lack of charity. This is a most unbounded cre. dulty as to the short.comings which. gossip is daily charging upon some uiember of the communiuity. So credulous was the Deacon in this respect, and so ready to believe in the culpability of another, that he was often made the victim of a practical joke; and though he lived in a village of not over five hundred inhabitants, he had been made to believe it contained several gambling-dens, and at least two Peter Funk auction shops. He was at once convinced that a society of Freelovers held meetings in the Town Hall, but, before completing his plan for heir sup pression, they turned out to be a Lodge of Know Nothings. Thus he was often put on the wrong track, but, unlike Knight Russ Oakside, M. D., he never quite succeeded in "getting his eye-teeth cut." But it is only the last 'drive' played off on him that we design tQ record. It happened in this wise: Elder. Wisely, pastor of Deacon Brown's church, was on a tour at the South for the benefit of that clerical disorder, the bronchites. Mrs. Wisely, the second wife of the Elder, was for the samie reason left at home. This lady was quite youthful, and had, by her gentle qualities, won.the estecn of the entire parish. It was during the ab sence of her worthy husband that Deacon Brown, on going to the Post Office one morinig, received the ibllowing comnuni catin: 'o,,oEvILLE, July 16, 1856. .Mr. Jkoua-Dear Sir: I .take the liberty to disclose to -you some facts, which have given me as much pain as they will your. self. I know, beyondall question of doubt, that a stranger very mysteriously made his -appearance last night in the private parlor of Mrs. Wiselv. Hie was first seen there about haltpast'll o'clock:; no one saw him enter the house, and up to the present hour this morning he has not been known to de patrt. I think this niew visitor was expected. and that he is destined to share the affections of Mrs. Wisely. The voice of this new coiner har been distinctly heard in her room, and she has been ;even heard to address him in the tendei-est and tuinst lo'ving'tones. Such are the facts. You can act in the premises as your sense of dumty may* dictate. My opinion is, that should Elder Wisely be it'ormned of this stranger's adv-ent, it nmight hasten his return. Youmrs truly, A fulEND OF FIDELITY. As the Deacon read this epistle, there was a visible tremor in his hand. He pol ished his evye-glass with a silk handkerchief~ and peruised it a second time. But Deacon Brown was not the man to swerve from his duty, though it led him where he would not go. In a miomnent he was resolved. Putting the letter in his hat and buttoning his coat to the chin, he hasitened down to his bard ware store, and, whispering to a confidential clerk, proceeded to the residence of Mrs. Wisely. He struck his cane very decided ly o the pave, greeted no one with his usual "good [morning," but, seemed absorbed in the contemplation of a great purpose. Ar riving at the scene of hia triumph, he sta,. tioned his clerk in front of the house, and giving the bell-knob a cautious pull, was soon admitted by the servant girl. The following dialogze then and there took place: "i laYrs. Wiselv in?"' " Yes, sir, she's 'in bed, sir." The D)~eonl here examined his watch, and muttered 'half-past 7.' He then asked: " How long before Mrs. Wisely will rise, mamin " Well, really, sir I can't tell-won't you take a seat in the parlor, sir?" " No, thank you-can't stay. Did Mrs. Wisely have company last night, mamn?" -" Yes, sir ; I believe she did, sir; she Here the girl blushed, hesitated, and, stri ving to conceal her embarrassmrent, showed too plainly that she would evade the true explanation. The Deacon interposed, as if to relieve her, and said : " The company, I suppose, mamn, was a young gentleman-a stranger to you ?" "1 es, sir ; 1 helieve he is, simr." "is that young gentleman in the house now, mam? " " To be sure, sir." " Will you be so kind as to state in what part of the house?" " He is in Mrs. Wisely's bed-room, sir." The Deacon's manner had by this time become greatly excited, and he gasped out: "Can it he! can it be !" The maid, failing to comprehend the Dea con, inquired: "Can what be ?" " Why, that a young gentleman is, atthis vory moment--" " But you know, sir, he is a very young and very little gcntlemnan, too sir." " What do youi mean by his being a very lde gentleman ?" " Why, haunt you heard, sir, that Mrs. Wisely has got a baby, sir-a nice, fine boy -weight nine pounds, sir?" The old gentleman seemed as the phrase is, perfectly thunder-struck. He was, for once in his life, favored with a lucid inter val, and saw by the light of it that he had been sold. Saying that."Mrs. Brnown would be over in the course of the day," he took his leave without subjecting the servant maid to a cross-examination. The joke got out in due time, and we fear the Deacon never quite forgave the writer of that anon ymous letter. He has, however, consented to-tbo 'stranger' having some share in Mrs. Wisely's love. An snxiousinquiret writes to know wheth - er the powdet magaz ne is published month s.- ,ta sdered a saft miagazIne fkr TE GIRL WITH THE CALICO DRuSU. DY ROSWRT JOSSELYN. A fig for your upper-ten girls, With their velvets and satins and laces, Their diamonds and rulbles and pearls, And their milliner figuan and faces; They may shine at a party or ball, Emblazoned with half they possess, But give me in place of them all, My girl with the calico dress. She is plump as a patridge. and fair As the rose in its earliest bloom, Her teeth will with ivory compare, And her breath with the clover perfumue. Her step is as free and as light As the fawn's whom the hunters hard press And her eye is as soft and as bright, My girl with the calico dress. Your dandie, and foplings may sneer, At her simple and modest attire, But the charms she permits to appear, Would set a whole iceberg on fire! She can dance, but she never allows The hugging, the squeeze and caress, She is saving all these for her spouse, My girl with the calco dress. She is cheerful, warma hearted and true, And kind to her father and mother, She studios how much she can do For her sweet little sisters and brother. If you want a companion for life, To comfort, enliven and bless, She is just the right sort fur a wife, My girl with the calico dress. Jackson, Miss. BILL PARKER WITH TilE GIRLS. The tllowing warning to naughty hus bands, we cut from the advertising columns of the American te inel, published at Lan. caster, Ky.: This is designed to.let all the world and the rest of mankind know, that WILLIAM PARKER, my husband, has left my bed and board, without cause or provocation. Scarcely had the honey.moon passed by, be. fore he sold my house and lot in Scott, near Stamping Ground. and the Franklin Hills, where he cu nmen eed collecting >ll that was due me, and selling off all I possessed. After stealing my negro ' oman and child, he left and located in Lexington, where he is now ranting with the gals. rigged off from top to toe in broadeloth, bought with my nigger money, and left me destitute, forlorn and wretched. Said Old BILL ['ARK EIs is about sixty. five years of age, low in stature., heavy built, round shouldered, bald headed, makes a wretched attempt to be polite and agreca. I ble, and a countenance sutliciently base to convict him to the penitentiary or gallows. Dear sir, you will do justice to right by publishing the above, and requesting the Editors throughout the Union to give it a place in their columns. Oh that hi4 bed be made e f briers, And his path beset with thorns, And the balance of his days. Die hauntedilay~ the beasts with 7 heads and 10 Wedlock has lcen a woful thing to nie, For marrying is not what its cracked up to be ; I th~ought my pathiway would be strewed with, flowers aind roses, But the way Ohd BDILL has made mae wretchod is a sin to Moses. I feel like a forest tree by thme north winid shaken, Wretched, forlorn, sad and forsaken. January 12, 1857. JANIE PA RKER. GooDNEss GRAos.-Some one who has been " about in spots," gives the following result of his observation: " The young ladie'f Hoston, before go ing to a party, rub their eyes with ezrtrait'd ognon, to make them sparkle and give bril Iint expression. The New York belles don India rubber stockings to contract the feet and make themi look small. The Providence beauties put a small clami under the hollow of each foot to lift the ini step, and comnfer a well made air to the pedals. The Philadelphia demoiselles eat per sim mnons to drawy their mouths to a point, and giv-e their lips a 'do kiss me' lovk." Towards the latter part of his life, Gene ral Jackson became a member of the Chris tian church. The clergyman who performed the ceremonies oii the occasion of his ad-' mission, feelinmg some doubt as to the sincer ity of the old General's repentance, qjues tioned him rather closely concernimg his spiritual condition, "H~ave'you forgiven your enemies?" ask ed the minister. "I have," answerd the General. "fHave you forgiven Henry Clay ?" "Yes." "Amnd have you pardoned Seba Smith, the author of Maj. Dewning's letters?" " No! (raising his hickory) by thme Etemnal, and I never will !" responded the old hero with characteristic piety. Bor with ragged trowsers rimless chip hat, runs into D~r Fuller's drug store with a dipper ini his hand. " Docter, mother sent mue down to the shoticary pop quiicker'n blazes, cos bub's sick with picken chox, and she wants a thimlefuml of polly gollic in this din tipper, cos we hadn't hot a gottle, and the kin't pup's got the bine witters in't Got any?" PRETTY NEAR THlE MARK.-"I was in company the other night, a numbher of ladies being present, when a young man proposed a conundrum, which he said he had read in the papers. It was this: -" When is a lady not a lady?1" There was a pause--"Give it up," said all around, ut hen, to the infinite horror of the whole party, the querist ex claimed, " when she's a little buggy." No body laughed-some were demure, some indignant, ai~d some no doubt inclined to scratch-the querist's face a little. H~e was disappoinited. Fumbling in his pocket he pulled out a paper, which consulting for a moment, he ejaculated, "0, 1 beg your par don, ladies, I made a umistake. The answer is, when she is a little sulky! I knew it was some sort of a carriage." A few years ago the following sign was upon one of our nmercantile houses A. Bull & Co., Importers. A wicked wag one night took paint and brush, and in one minute made it read thus A Bull & Coaw Imported. Numbers of perso~ans called the next day to take a look at the Importea Catle. A nerv siuhject for "debating eieties" reads thus: " Which is the proudest, a girl1 with her first beau or a mother with her first baby." 'Wben meat is tainted, the taint may. be remdved by covering it a few hour, with commont charcoal, or by putting a few peces of charcoal into the water i which the tanted muat in hafad. DOMESTIC HINTS AND RECEIPTS, TEA- BERT IN THE EvENxo. Tea, as the morning beverage, when breakfast forms a good substantial meal, upon which the pow ers for the day of meeting the various chan ies and changes of life: depend, provided it be not too strong, is much to be recommend ed ; but when individuals eat little, coffee i rertainly supports them in a more decided manner; and, besides this, tea, without a certain quantity of solid aliment; is much more likely to influence the nervous systems. Some persons, if they drink tea in the morn ing and coffee at night, suffer much in the animal spirits and in power of enjoyment of the pleasures of society ; but if they reverse the system, and take coffee in the morning and tea at night, they reap benefit fromthe change ; for the coffee, which to them in the morning is nutritious, becomes a stimulus at night; and the tea, which acts as a dilutent at night, gives nothing to sup port exertions during the day. FoR BAD EYEs.-Get a pennyworth of refined white copperas, and dissolve it in a pint of spring water, and put it in a bottle. Wmash the eyes in warm water, and then bathe them with the above lotion. Do not let it go near the mouth, as it is poison. FOR A SWOLLEN FACE ARISING FROM Toorn-AcHE.--Get a poppyhead, and boil it in about a pint of water, and bathe the face with it as hot as you can bear it, twice a day. The swelling will go down in two or three days. This is also poison. k'taE IN TlE CaIMNEY.-Iu cases of fire in the chimney, it is an excellent plan to put salt on the fire in the grate below, as it acts chemiically on the flaming soot above. This has been found to extinguish the fire it, a short time, and deserves to be more generally known, al)UiED CiERnnis.-Take 12 lbs. of the Mayduke or Kentish cherry ; stone the same very carefully, so that they may be as little broken as possible: put them in a pan with plenty of powdered sugar (91bs.); let them simmer gently fur about twenty niinutes; then take each cherry out separately on to a sieve to dry; shake a little sugar over thea, and turn them for three successive days, (itn which time, if the sun is powerful, they wril have dried) when quite dry, put them into a tin box, with a layer of paper between each row. Then keep them in a moa derately warm place for use. AN EXCELLENT RECEIPT FOR MAKING THE [lA iLra.-Put two ibs. of common soap, cue smiail, into three pints of spirits of wine, with eight ounces of potash, and melt the whole by a slow fire, stirring it with a piece of wood. Add some escence of amber, vanilla, and neroli-about a quarter of an ounce each-to render the fluid agreeable. Or, Beat up the yolk of an egg with a pint of clean rain water, or lime water, a pint distilled; vinegar, a quarter of a pint: mix.-To be supplied warm, and afterwards wash the head with warm water. THREE GOOD RAZoR PASTES.-l. Emery very finely levigated in the same manner as prepared chalk, mixed with lard or tallow, or a mixture of these with neat's foot oil. 2. Equal parts of jeweller's rouge, black lead, and prepared siiet.-3. "Raidien's" Pest putty powder, 1 oz., jewellers's rouge, 1 or,, scales of iron, j oz.. levigated Turkey stone, 3 oz,, beef' suet, 1 } og, SILvER TREE oN Gr.Ass.-Put a few drops of the solution of silver in aquafortis, on a piece of glass; form a bit of copper or brass wire to represent a tree with its branches, but flat, so as to lie upon the glass; lay it in the liuid, and let it remin for an hour or two. A beautiful vegetaxtion will be perceived all round the ware, which will nearly be covered by it. This may he pre served by washing it carefully with water, and putting another glass over it. UTEALIo GiNT~tENT FOR Wot-NDs, &c. Take a quarter o;. of white wax and a half 0z. of spermiaceti (which is a hard white material,) and put them in a small bason, with two ounces of almond oil. Place the bason by the side of the fire, till tihe wax and spermaceti are dissolved, When cold, the ointment is ready for use. This is an article which it is much better to make than to purchase. When you make it yourself, you know that it has no irritating or inferior diaterials ini it. AUGUSTA ADVERTISEMENTS. CLOTHING---CLOTHING!
