Well 'posted' in theology, And post and rail his fence. 'Gainst all the vices of the age, He manfully did battle; His chickens were a biped breed. And quadruped his cattle. So clock more" punctually went, He ne'er delayed a minute? Nor ever empty was his pnse, When it had money in it. . His piety was ne'er denied ; t ? . . His truths hit saint nnd sinner ; At morn he always breakfasted ; * He always dined at dinner. f He ne'er bynny luck was grieved, By any care perplexed? Xo filcher he, though when he pieachtd, He always 'took' a text. - &' >. As faithful characters he diew, As morals ever saw ; 1 But ah! poor parson! when he died, His breath he could not draw! ~ ~ |t>t( ^ A WIPE FOR A SIXPENCE. A beautiful young heiress had become so disgusted with a flattering set of soft-pated, j pomatdm haired, moostache-lipped, strongly perfumed suitors for her hand, that she shut j herself from the fashionable world, turned ; all her property into money, deposited it all : in banks, donned a cheap wardrobe, put on a mask, and went, pedestrian-like, through the city in which she had hitherto moved with so much display and magnificence.? j She asked alms of those who of late had j ; knelt at her feet and sued for her hand.? They knew her not, and castiug a look of i scorn upon her veiled face and coarse wardrobe, bade her "begone !" She entered the | country?here she met with derision and i scorn. A few kind-hearted people, it is true, ! bestowed aid ; but these were of the poorer class, who had hard work to procure their daily bread ; but they could not turn a fel- ! low creature hungry from their door, aud ^ therefore give a small pittance from their ; - scanty store. One. summer's day, a large cotupauy met on ? lleach. They were mostly from the city. The disguised heiress, from some cause or other, had wandered there. She asked alms of one or two termed ''upper tens." They spoke tauntingly, but gave i nothiog. What they said had been heard i by quite a number of their company. Most : of them laughed or looked as if they thought, ' served her right." The beggar wo in a u . -turned about, aud was walking sadly away, j when a good looking geutleman stepped for- j ward, and catching hold of her arm, thus; 1 5 spoke.: i . "Stay, my good woman?tell me what; you want." ? l..?r ! ! uut upicu iu a ivIT ituuiuuui; JL waut ft sixpence?only a sixpence." "You shall have ten times that sum.? i ' Here," he added, drawing from his pocket j an eagle and placing it in the gloved hand ! ' of the womau, "take this, and if it is not j enough, I will give you auother." The heiress returned the eagle, exclaiming, "I want a sixpeuce, sir?only a sixpence !" Seeing that she could not be made to take the coin, the gentleman drew forth a sixpence and gave it to the strange being beside him, who, after thauking the generous donor 1 ^walked slowly away. After being laughed , at for so doing by his comrades, he set out I in pursuit of the beggar woman, saying: j Perhaps she is an heiress, or an angel in dis- j guise. I mean to ascertain." - O - > i >- Not that he thought this, but that he wish-, ed tQshow his indifference to what his conw rades said, besides satisfying himself about the strange female he had aided. lie soon overtook her, aud addressed her thus.: "Pardon me, madam, for pursuing you. I would know more about you." As the speaker ceased, the mask dropped i from the face of the female, and the bcautit ful heiress was portrayed before theastonish ed gentleman. That they were afterwards married, the ' reader has already imagined, for the heiress ' used this means of .procuring a worthy hus- j | bund, and the genercos gentleman had long -1 been looking for "an angel disguise." The happy husband is often heard to say 1 ~ that he got an "heiress for a sixpence." Txlfi UUUiiij^ ?JJLJWtiSlJN Lt. We take the following amusing anecdote from the licv. Mr. Smith's book entitled, Xine Years among the Convicts.' In the New Hampshire State Prison, of which Mr. ! Smith was chaplain, was a Scotchman, who ; ( bad been servant to a gentleman travelling in Europe in company with a geutlcmau who had a French servant. Of this French- man the Scotch prisoner told the following: The.following anecdote, (for the truth of which I cannot vouch, though for several : - ... reasons I think it genuine,) he related to me. In Corfu, on the Sabbath, the travel- < lers were sitting together on the piazza of < the hotel. Opposite was the cathedral. It < was during the celebration uf 'high mass.' \ The French servant caiuc to his master and ] asked for some money, which was denied him. 'Yell,' said the Frenchman in bad ; English, ?I sail 'ave ze money some how.': He had noticed that the people ou entering < the cathedial opposite, deposited their offer- s ing in a box placed near the door. As if a , new thought struck him, rubbiug his hands ] together he exclaimed, 'Zat vill do, ze iuou- j i ey Yill be all ze pettcr for being consecra- < ted,' and across the street he rau. Seeing \ no one uear or looking.on, he quickly for- < ecd off the top of the box, and soon filled j uue pocket, but just then the tinkling of a t bell annouueed that the service had closed. He had tiuic only to replace the cover of the box, when out came the bishop and the priest, followed by the congretratiou. The i Frenchman still clutching a handful of coin ; J he had taken from the box, at once brought 1 his face into a most sanctimonious form, and ( began to pray, dropping at each sentence a t coin in the box. His remarkable piety and s liberality at once attracted the attention of t the reverend fathers, who looked on a mo- \ 1 meat, then coming up to him, the bishop ^ laid his hands most kiudly upon his head, j 1 and called down blessings upon him from ! ? the Holy Trinity, St. Peter, St. Paul, &c., s &c. The Frenchman, as he dropped the j r last piece of coin in his hand, bowed with : c the most admirable grace, and expressed the ! i most unbounded gratitude. Then walking j t prickly across the street to the travellers, 1 S who were writhing in their efforts to keep t from outright laughter exclaimed, "Tank t heaven, tank heaven Vy, I am doubly P v . blessed' You hear ze blessing of zc bishop.

Some forty years ago there lived in Boston a Frenchman, who had been but a short time in the country, and who spoke our language very imperfectly. He had occasion to visit Gloucester, Cape Ann, and in those days there were no railroads; consequently, he had to make his journeys by some other conveyance. Accordingly he procured a horse and started off on horseback. He found but ! ..! ! ?* 1, .1 1 iff Um mtie uiraeuiiy on me road until ancr uc had passed Beverly Bridge, when, not knowing which way to turn, he did as any other wise man would have done in such a case, inquired of the first person he met which was the right road. There happened to be a free and easy Yankee passing along just at this time, and our traveller raised his hand to his hat and bowed, as Frenchmen often will do, and thus addressed the Yankee : "Voulcz vous tell uic the way to Keep On ?" ' '"Well," wns the reply, "I don't know any better way you can keep on unless you tie your legs together under the horse." "Be gar, I no vants to keep on de horse ; I vants de place Keep On." "Oh ! you want the place to keep on, do you? Now, down this way we always think the place to keep on is the saddle; and T guess you're in the right spot." "You no understand ; I n<5 vant de horse nor de saddle; I vants vat you call de Keep On de Keep Ann." Well now stranger you are an old rogue. This is a very moral town, aud our select"inn w/m'f oll.irp nnvtuutv fr\ hiJnn Ann nr mtu """ v '"v ?J ?r ? any other woman." "You be von tick head, you rascal; I no rants your Madame Ann, 'tis do town, do place Keep Ami." "Worse and worse; you want the town to keep Ann, do )*ou ? No, Monshcr, that won't go down at all, you will ruin the repu* i tation of ancient? Beverly. 'Twont do stranger." "I vill vight you, sare; you insult me. I ask you de vay to Keep Ami, and you tell mo about de horse, dc saddle, aud de voman. Now sare, vill you tell me de vay to ; Keep Ann uo'Olossct her?" "Oh ! ho! now I take. I suppose you want to know the way to Glouscester, Cape 1 Ann, don't you ?" "Oui, oui; dats it." "Well, why in thunder didn't you say so at first? Keep straight ahead and turn to the right " "Tanke you, tanke you, Monsieur; I no rights you now. Bonjour." And the traveller went on his way rejoicing. ? ????? ? "TROTTING OUT" LONGFELLOW. I But to add to the zest of this up-the-Mis- | iissippi trip, you must know that the good ' boat Northern Belle also bore as one of her 1 passengers the veritable Longfellow. The ; Historical Society had extended to the poet , rn invitation to be present at the corner-stone ; laying, and a distinctly marked trunk, "II. W. Longfellow," coming on board, settled the fact that the author of Hiawatha was one cf our number. But which is he ? was the aft repeated question ; and none answered except to guess. At the table each one was looking most intently at the other to divine tvhich was the poet, and all wondered why ! ;very one stared so. This man was pro- ; jounced the poet because lie wore a mous- j :ache; this one because he shaved clean ; ind we noted that the fact as to who was I Longfellow, was settled cither by the excess ( >r lack of hair. This doubt in a few hours 1 jecame unendurable, and the universal cry ; ,vas to "trot out" Longfellow. Finally, by J ;hc aid of the clerk, the number of his state- j ooni was ascertained to be 30, and a guard I olaoed at cither door of 30 so that no one 1 :ould escape thence undetected. Soon the loor opened, and Longfellow passed to the j leek where were assembled the curious. It j ivas arranged that an old Virginia major, i ivho had faced the red men in their .most j savage days at Fort Snelling, should draw Iroui the mysterious passenger an admission :hat he was the poet Longfellow. The maior, by his age and fund of information rc-: yarding the Indians, was a privileged cliarleter on board, aud stepping up to the occupant of 30, slapped him on the shoulder with? "Well, old chap, they say you are Long- j fellow." "That is my name, sir," was the answer, j "Well," persevered the major, "are you II. W. Longfellow V "I am," replied the now observed of all j observers. "Well," continued the major, "'are you j Longfellow, author of?of?of?, what do you call it ?" "Hiawatha!" replied a dozen voices." "Oh,yes! are you II. V*. Longfellow, luthor of Hiawatha?" All eyes were now riveted upon him of state room 30, for the answer to so direct a juestion must determine the interesting juery. We leave our readers to imagine ! die scene, when the close questioned occu- j pant of 30 said : "I am II. W. Longfellow, a shoemaker at I St. Paul." You had better believe that curiosity was sewed up with a "waxed end" in a veryshort space of time by that reply; a shower rf "lap stones" could not more effectually have scattered that party; they started to :heir feet as if sitting on a "bristle." The i ;<Soug of Hiawatha," of which at least twen- , ;y copies had, up to that moment been con-, stautly open, vanished into satchels, and the I loctry of the trip was suddenly changed in-j ;o the inattcr-of-fact article of shoe leather. ? Cltvchtml Hvrahl. ? ... Wrr contest between Fathek and son.?H. 15-. Sheridan had a great distatc j ;o anything like metaphysical discussions, tvhereas Tom had a liking for them. Tom one j lay tried to discuss with his father the doc-! irine of Necessity. 'Pray my good father/ said lie, 'did you ever do anything in a perect state of indiffereuce; without motive, I i lieau, of some kind or other? Sheridau, i ,vho saw ?vhat was coining, and by means elislicd such subjects, eveu from Tom or my one else, 'Yes, certainly.' 'Iudeed/ said Tom. 'lies indeed.' What! total in-: liffereuce?total, cutire, thorough indiffermce ? Well theu, my dear father, what is I t you can do with total, eutire, thorough in- : lifferonce?' 'Why listeu to you, Tom/ said Sheridan. The rebuff, as Tom told me, so j liscoucerted him that he had never forgot- j ;en it, nor had ever again troubled his fath- j ir* with any metaphysics. Another amus-1 " - 4 , ing incident is the following, in which Pro! fessor Smith the tutor of Tom was ooncernjed. v ]- An incident occurred just as he parted with | Mr. S. not a little descriptive of him. 'I wrote you a letter lately,' I said; 'it was an ; augry one ! you will be so good as to think no I more of it.' 'Oh, certainly not,' he said; I 'I never think of what you have said in it | be assured,' and putting his band into his I pocket, 'Here it is,' he cried, offering it to j me. I was glad enough to get hold of it; | and, looking at it as I was going to throw it ! in the fire, lo and behold, I saw that it had i never been opened. ? Symptoms of first Love.?When you ; find Master Jack suddenly refuse one inorn| ing to play marbles forever?be sure that Master Jack is seized with his first love. When you find in Master Jack's bed room sundry greasy looking bottles with a yellow bear in a blue forest on the label?which, (the label, not the bear,) informs you that ' the contents of the bottle is an unguent, ' which makes the moustaches grow?you may I be sure Master Jack is seized with his first ; love. Tf you find Master Jack no longer pays ; the attention to the solids of the dinner, : which he was wont to do, and there is no other cause, be sure it is an attack of his first love that occasions it. If Jack becomes satirical and alludes in | scornful terms to the world, be sure Jack's | first love has just sprouted. If you find a pocket edition of Byron anywhere about Jack's clothes, be sure Jack's far gone in his first love. If you find a pair of patent leathers coming home from your shoemaker's one Saturday afternoon, and can't remember ordering them, and they don't fit anybody but Jack ?don't blame him. First love's rcsponsi| ble. Tf you see Jack's finger ends rather inky, and scraps of an Acrostic anywhere around, be assured that first love has caused the spoiling of some good stationery. Finally, if Jack is suffering from first love, dWt be too hard 011 the poor fellow, and above all, don't meet the complaint with too strong remedies, lest it strike in, and Jack strike out from parental authority. First love is like the] whooping cough?we must all have it, and it is best to catch it young. X. Y. Picayune. <iil> Too True.?Mrs. Swisshelm, in her paper published at Pittsburg, utters a true word when she describes the education of the "young gentlemen and ladies" of the rising generation among the fashionable, as utterly destitute of common sense?whose only tendency is to mental weakness and physical decay. She says: "A young gentleman a smooth-faced stripling?witli little breeding and less sense, ripens fast, and believes himself a nice young man. He chews and smokes tobacco, swears genteelly, coaxes embryo imperials with bear's grease, twirls a rattan, spends his father's money, rides fast horses?on horseback and in sulkeys?double and single? drinks Catawba, curses the Maine law, and flirts with "young ladies," hundreds of which are just like himself, though of different gender; and this is the fashionable education of our day. The fathers and mothers of these fools were once poor. Their children will run through an "inexhaustible fortune" in a few years, and die in poverty. Parents you are responsible for this folly. Set your sous and daughters to work, and let them kuow that only in usefulness there is honor and prosperity." Strayed.?Prokc into the pocket of the editor of this paper, a teu cent piece. Who it. belongs to, or where it come from is a mystery to us, and we earnestly request the owner to come and take it away. We have been with out money so long, that its use is entirely forgotten. Upon one side is a beautiful young lady, with a handkerchief to her eyes?weeping to think she had no mate?and her night cap on a pole, as signal of distress. Once gettiug angry, we pinched her severely, bnt she wouldn't come to ^quarters," and now we beg that some one will come and claim her.?Illinois Patriot. <,?> flS?" When an Arab woman intends to marry again after the death of her hnsbaud, she corner the night before to the grave of j her first husband. Here she kneels and i prays him not to b'e offended?not to be j jealous. As however, she fears he will be | offended and jealous, the widow brings with her a donkey laden with two goats' skins of water. The prayers ended, she proceeds to pour on the grave the water, to keep the | first husband cool under the irritating cir-1 euuistanccs about to take place; and having j well saturated him she departs. OiO An Jx<:?Nics Painter.?A famous artist made a painting, in which all the different nations of the earth were represented in the peculiar dress of their country. Instead however, of clothing the Frenchman, he drew him in his shirt, with a bundle of | cloth under his arm. Being asked the rea- j sou, he replied, 'The French dress themsel- j ves in so many different ways, and change ; their fashions so often, that whatever dress I should put on him, in a short time he ; would not be known; having the stuff, he may cut it out to his liking.' Death of an Indian Chief.?The body of William John, second chief of the Six Nations was found in the Wcllard Canal, near the Mohawk village, X. Y.,ou Sunday morning last. The deceased had probably attempted to cross a wire bridge during the night, and been precipitated into the water. The fact which makes this incident more noticeable is that William John was a grandson of the noted Capt. Brant, aud one 1 of the Inst, if not the last, member of this remarkable lannlv. i ???? ? ??
