One day as he walked along, in a
very surly mood, after another attempt to ;

a neighbor of the aged couple. As
,\i_ 1 ii.. . 1 i - ?
.nr. i/uvii iinu inu uuignour were very particular
friends, they must needs stop 011 the
way to chat a little.
" Good morning sir," said she, "and pray
what on earth makes you look so badly,
this beautiful morning, isn't the controversy
between the churches doing good service
?"
" Yes, isn't Lcacon W. making plenty
of hud whisky ?"
"Well, what is the matter, my highly

enoUgli," replied the Devil, "but," and
here ho looked as sour as a monkey on a
crab-apple tree, " old Bluoford and his wife
over hero, are injuring the cuuho terribly
by their bad example, and after trying for
years to induce them to do better, I must
my I consider them helpless."
'.Uiie oiu hag wtoim- fur u uioUiOiit tii dnp
thought! "Aro you .sure that you have
tried every way ?

" Aro you certain ? "
" Yofi.!4'
Well," ropllcd'she; " if you will prom^c
to make nie a present of a new pair of
hhocs, in case I succeed, 1 will make the
attempt myself, nnd see if I can't raise a
quarrel between them."
To this leasonnble request the Devil gladly
assented. The old hag went her way
to neighbor Blueford'a house, and found j
old Mrs. Bluoford verybufeilv cnmfl fired in i
getting things ready for her husband's
coinfQrt ,<& his return from work. After
the usual compliment hnd passed, tho foh
lowing dialogue took place :
" Well, friend 15., 3'ou nnd Mr. 1>. have
lived a long'time together;"
" Five and twenty yonrs, co:ne next) November."
renlied Mrs. H
' And all thr time you.have never had
tho least quarrel."
"Not one." i
"I am.truly glad to hear it," continued j ,
the hrtg, " 1 consider it my duty to warn . ,
you, that though thin is the caHe, yet you j
iT)U.Jt not expect it to bo always, llavo i
you not observed that of late Mr. U. has ,
grown peevish and sullen at times?"
" A very little so," observed; 31 re; Dlucford.
]
141 know, it," continued the hag, "and ,
jot me vritru you in time to be on your 1
guard/.'
Mrs, B. did think she luid bett.hr do so,
iwiu a?k?u duviois, ns io how she ought tomanage
the case. S, (
" IIuvc you not noticed," snid tho hug,
"that your husband lias a buueh of long,
/ rsiar/?e hair growing ofr a mole under- his
chin, on the side oi' bis throat !"'
" These" are the cause of the trouVi^.and
Hfi Ibfig as they remain you had better look
SMi oxit. No*,*, as a friend, ( would aitvise i
you to cut them off the first time you get'
' : V . ' ''
ichance, nud thus end the trouble."
"If yott say do so, I will/' replied tho
iredulous old lady.
Boon nfter this the hag started for hotnr,
ind made it convenient to meet Mr. 15. o^
lie way. Much tho sumo talk in relation
o his domestic happiness, passed between
hem ns did between the old woman.
" But, tViond Wuqford," paid she, " T
hink it my duty ua a Christian, to warn
f"ou to bo on your guard, lor 1 tell you, that
four wife intends your ruin."
Old Mr. 1). was very much astonished,
fotho could not wholly discredit her words.
When he reached home lie threw himself
.tpon the brd in great perplexity, and
Signing sleep, studied over the mattor in
lis own mind, llis wife thinking this a
rood opportunity for cutting olV the obnoxnris

oftly to iiia side. Now tlie old lady was I
'cry much frightened at holding a razor so '
loso to her husband's ncck, and her hand
vas not so steady as it on J was; so, be- j
ween the two, *hc went to work very awk-1
irdly and pulled the hairs instead of euti
rig therm off. 1*1 r. B. opened his eyes and
here stood his wife with a. razor at his
,hroat ! After what, had been told him,
md seeing this, he could not doubt that
the intended to murder him. lie sprang
rom the bed in horror, and no explanation
>r entreaty could continco him to the conrary.
So, from that time forth, tliefe
vas no more pence for that house. 11 was
aw, jaw, (|uarrel and wrangling all the time.
\\ ith delight the Devil heard of the sucicss
of the faithful emissary, and sent her
rord that if she would meet him a* the end
>f the lawn, at a certain time, lie would p:?y
icl' the shoes.
At tlie appointed time, she repaired to
lie spot and found the devil at the placc.
lie put the shoos on the end of a long pole,
md standing on the opposite side of the
vnce, handed them over to her. She was
;ory much pleased with them, they were
jxaetly the article,
" But there is one thins, Mr. Devil, that
I would like to have explained : that is,
vliy you hand them to me on that stick ?"
" Very easy tocxplain," replied he, "any

They ark Pas-sino Away.?" They
arc passing away." Amid the busy scenes
of life, we arc often made to realize the
shortness of this existence, by being called
to part with sonic dear friend. To-day, we
see a circle of friends in perfect health?
joyous f>y the prospect of long life ; their
only thought is for this world, and the
happiness in store for them. But alas !
their hopes are vain. To-morrow, death?
that silent messenger ; enters that happy
circle, and one of their number, with high
hopes and expectations, is cut down, to he
seen upon earth no more. Look upon that
happy family, now seated around the home
firoside; they know not the meaning of the
... . n.j ?? ...:u :i i...

tl.'is? Again wo visit them'; but now the)gaze
in mutedespair on the inanimate form
of their darling. Death has visited that
family, and taken the flower of the household,
and the youngest form in that little
flock.- purely now they must truly realize
the fovee of thai short sentence? " They
arc passing away."
Come with me to the death bed of the
Christian. J lis family are gathered around
him, ?trd ar<> listening for fhe last time to
his words of instruction ! Ilark ! lie is imploring
them to put no value on the Hooting
things of this world, hut place their trust
on high. Ho, too, has pnsscd away, and as
his friends gather around his grave, and
hear those solemn words, " Mingle ashes
with n#h08, antl dust with its original dust,"
they feel in their utmost souls the solemnity
of this truth, " They arc p issing away."

Burning a Negro at the 8take?Dreadful

A oorre^pondont of the Maysville Eagle,
gives the foll(gying particulars of the recent
burning of a negro nt Troy, Kentucky, for
the min der of lux limxter
On New Year's diiy tlic annual negro
saios took place at Troy, the count.y seat,
nnd there was quitea collection ot' people
there everything went on smoothly until (
about 8 o'clock in tho evening, when Mr.
.Jas. Oflif.way, a brother-in-law of the doreamed,
mounted upon an old gooda-box bcforo
the store-door, and addressed the people
for about fifteen minutes. He said if
tho mass of tho people felt as ho did, and
would do their doty, which lie believed
thoy would, that they would tako tho blaek
murderer out of jail nnd burn him nt, the

their victim (tho negro murderer.)
'hoy marched him to tho ccutro of the jailaid,
drove down a large stake and ohaind
him in an orOct position, hand and feet

im?-this consuulpd .sumo half an hour.?
htring tliirt time tho negro talked to ihe
ogroes that gathered around him. lie
old them that he had a good mastor, and
hat lie was always treated too well and
iven too many liberties, and for them to
ike warning in time and never do as ho
iad done. Then tho torch was applied,
nd he seemed to be entirely indifferent
bout it until tho flamod began to burn as
iigh as his knees. Then he began to twist,
nd snort, and groan, and in about a niin,te
more ho commenced to scream, lie

One morning a countryman entered the
inn whore the phrenologist had his rooms,
and said to our.nforesaid wag:
" Is this the place where the phrenologist
j " holds out," that lio enii toll a man's kar- j
i nctar by tlio bumps >? his ^k'lll
! " Y08," answered lhmifaee, witharesorv1
cd and dignified manner.
" Wal, 1 want my potato trap looked into
a little while. Whero is the man
\ " ! am tho man," said the landlord.
" Oh ! you be, eh '! W.d, put in, feel
' of my lumps and gin us a <ninp. What's
the swindle ?"
" There is no swindle, sir, phrenology is
a science?a liberal science."
" Ah, yes, spoct so j but what's the price
for fooling a feller's head ?"
j " One dollar, with a chart."
w al, go it; how do I do ! lie down or |
tsit up ? 1 )ons it hurt
" Not in the leant, sir. Take your scat
in this chair."
There wore four or five morning loungers
in the tavern who ohcoked a ktujih as the
countryman took his seat, having first, ns
requested, removed his coat, vest and nock
cloth. The wag of a landlord ran his hands
through the hair of the patient fur a moment
and then said to the bartender?
" Mr. lTipkins, tyke a fhcot of paper and
draw four lines down iu whole length, and
1 put down my figures under the head as' 1
toll you."
" I lave you got it ?"
" Yes?all right."
" Very well," and the landlord went on |
I with his exnloration. whi<>li umw rmirrlw>r i
perhaps thun there was any actual necessity
for.
" Put down philanthrorogeuitivenc3ssixty."
" Down, sir."
" Very well; reverence two."
(t !!.>..i,...i
* /UUUV/Uj Ol I .
" Combfltivenoas two hundred."
" What's that t" said the victim.
"No matter, sir; you*i 1 see it on the
chart: Caution one; credulity four huudred."
" What's that last lump ?" asked the patient.
" Never mind it now ; you'll understand
. \l'd how. Mr. Flipkins,
you nave put these iu separate "columns as
. usualJ"
? | "i on, sir.
" Very well, ndd 'cm up !"
" ] ? Add 'cm up !" exclaimed the phrcno.
logi<jd) subject, " io that the way you do?"
" Of o-o-u r-s-o ! how olao could wo get
your balance of mind?of intellect."
15 " Wall, co ahead !"
1 ' now docp it 1)?M, J^r. iniulcins?"
1 " Tho throe ool uinns are cquAl; they foot'
cd tip precisely tlie spine 1"
i5 Tho landlord 1 poked solemnly and ?ympathixingly
towards his subject.
) ' It is very strange," says he; but it is
so. Phrenology never lies. You have no
intellectual status, you don't know any
thing, sir. ExouhO me, sir, but 1 must
2 stutethe truth, whether you tako tho chart
or not.; Dilt, sir, itthere is any truth in
s phrenology, you're a fool ! Under tho circumstances,
sir, 1 can scarcely expect you
' to keep the chart which you have contract*
' ed for; this is n matter of little consequence
as it will be a valuable illustration of an an*
ti?|uc species, which I can use in my leetu1
res hereafter. I authenticate ?li my lectures
with real names and residence, Tho
charge of deception in science is one that
j lias never been brought aguldst EuOf yir,
never."
* "Oh ! never mind; give us the map,"
" said the subject; "hero's tho swindler,
5 for it is a swindle. I'd rather pny for it
1 than lnlycyou going round tho country making
afoolof me everywhere else as you
1 hftvfi licre?you blasted philanthroprogen1

subject retired.?Knickerbocker.

, A way nights since, ft serenading party,
j after upouding an hour in producing the most
s dulcet strains, wore informed by u polite
, watchman, that "nobody lived there."
