Di i'st thou know that sorrow treasured Iu the heart made furrows deep ; Iced its fount aud fully measured, Brought on death's dark dreamless sl^op. Has the friend you loved so fondly Been untrue and caused the woe ? Grieve not?grieve not! think 'tis only Human nature acting so. In this world so wide aud spreading, See what beauties round tbccdie ; Onward then thy pathway treading, Other friends are ever nigh. Did'st thou know the frozen mountaiu Thaw'd beneath sub's golden ray ; Dashing ocean stilled its fountain, Whilst its bcanrfets ou it lay? Yonder cloud so dark and dreary, Dost thou see its arch so bright ? a?!i: Olimiug auiismuc uc*u wearj% Formed that bending bow of light.. Cease, then cease ; oh, cease repining, . There's a good for every ill; Every heart must have refining, Let no doubt affection chill. Smfle to day and smile to morrow, Till the snnshine of the soul; Banishing every gloom of horror Makes life's current brightly roll. A GHOST CHASING A GHOST. Not long since, two rustic gallants went regularly to see the same girl. The young lady, a farmer's daughter, resided just half way between the respective homes of her adorers; and, as a matter of course, when Sunday evening arrived, when they '"'came courting," the distance traveled over was the same to both. Now, as they were jealous of one another, each lover tried his skill, by a series of manoeuvres, to drive the other off. Affairs had gone on in this manner for some time, yet neither had seemed to have maffe'any masked progress in the lady's regards. I do not know how it would have terminated, for the girl liked them well enough, but as she could not marry them both, she was * ' * ' * 1 - oKQ puzzled which one to cnouse. *? uwum wished them to fight a dnel, or decide the contest by fisticuffs for the honor of her hand and heart, I cannot say; bnt her suspense, and that of her anxtous lovers, was at last relieved in the following manner: As they bad exhausted human ingenuity in trying to outgeneral each other, tbey both ?strange as it may seem?resolved, unknown to each other, to call to their aid the terrors of the spirit world. Stranger yet, the same night was chosen when each shonld personate a ghost, to drive the othe; off the field. Well, the next Sunday Evening came, andattired in the habiliments of the grave, could be seen about nine o'clook our heroes cau-; tionsly approaching the abode of their "dear- J est dear." The object of ghost A was to meet B before he had reached the house, frighten him out of his senses, and then chase him home. If A could accomplish this, B would Dever dare to show hie mug there again. Ghost B's object was precisely the same toward A, and consequently a fearful collision between them was inevitable. A had chosen a hollow pumpkin, with two ronnd holes cat through the top for saucer eyes, and a huge horizontal, parallel organ opening for a month. A candle Was placed burning in it, u?d at a distance, in the dark, it looked really frightful. B had got some punk, which looked Irke burnished silver in the dark, which he intended placing around his person, in the night, in order to give hinra supernatural appearand f a nair of ox horns Disced upon his , - r? -- ?^ - , head, and, attired in a huge winding sheet, B would have passed for a respectable devil. They met! They night was very dark, the road muddy?so they had in a manner t? feel their way along. A turn in the road, close by the dwelling, revealed each other in their ghostly costumes. What a sight! A saw. a ghost?B also beheld another before him. A's pumpkiu head grinned horridly at B, while the weird lantern on B's person almost annihilated poor Aj for he imagined, I suppose, that it was the etil one himself before him. What mortal could stand this? They could not, but, appalled, terrified, and nearly mad with fear, they both turned homeward and fled, with fearful outcries bursting from their trembling lips. As B, however, was putting in his best paces, in repassing the house, a large mastiff, alarmed by the outcries, rushed out and headed him off.? The poor wretch, thfnking it was his diabolical persecutor in th? form of a dog, turned aghast and went off after A with all his might?no hat on, his winding sheet streaming in the wind behind bim, while the dim glare of his punk-wood ornaments-gave him, indeed, the look of a demon. A heard the noise, and glancing behind him, saw with horror the phantom in full ohase. He dropped the pumpkin head, which he had been carrying in his hand, gave another, yet louder yell, and exerting all his utmost, he bounded forward with the agility of a hunted deer, almost flying over the ground as he went. B, in the meantime, not 3eeing the pumpkin head, passed on in the rear, the dog at his heels, barking and urging him forward, still faster than before. How long they would have continued in their headlong flight, if not stopped, I cannot tell. They had already legged it over two miles; and were in a fair way of runniog themselves to death, if A, in his blind haste, had not pitched headlong into a mire hole, B too the next minute sharing the same fate. Fortunately the hole was not deep, or they both would have been smothered in the mud, for they were fairly tired out, and as weak as infants. They remained in this condition until next morning, when the neighbors found them, pulled them out and carried them to their homes. Wet, covered with mud from head to foot, their raiment I torn in rags, they presented a truly misera- j ble appearance. Both were laid up for some ; days, from the effects of their fright, aud ' overtasking their physical powers. It had ! one good effect, however, it cured them of of love, for they never went courting there | again. Sentiment Lost.?A certain political | speaker was addressing a-large audience in j Virginia, and descanting vehemently against; proscription of foreigners, when his eye fell j upon a little German Jew, a pedler of rea- ! dy-made clothing, who seemed to be very much impressed with tho argument of the orator, greedily swallowing up everything he ! uttered. This was too good au opportunity : not to make the best of, and looking the little pedlar full in the eye, he exclaimed, ' 'Furriuer, didn't you oome to this wuntry i to escape from tyrannical, down-trodden and i oppressed Europe? Didn't you flee to these happy shores to live in a land of freedom, where the great right of suffrage is guaranteed to all? Didn't you, furriner?' Ife paused for a reply, when the little ped^er squeaked out?"No, sir; f comes to dis country to sell sheap ready ipade clothes.' Dancing.?If any of our readers desire to split their sides a laughing, they-will read the following?if not, we tvould advise them to pass it by: 'Look! look!' said a half dozen lady voices one pretty night, as we sat leaning against the outside of the ball-room. We did look?alas 1 for our poor1 modesty, wc ought not to have done so. 'If my children were among them I'd whip them well for it.' - ? ? T)J ii <l'es, it ttiey wereiuti grown, 1 u give mem tbe hickory,/ So said the \yife of cms of our {irinces, as she'tumed'away in atljer disgust. Doctor, let describe a little?if the public may look, certainly it may read though it run. A gfbup of the splendid ones is on the floor, and lovingly mated.? The gents are very ereet nud lean a little forward. (Music.) Now, all whe?l and whirl, circle and curl. Feet and heels of gents go rip-rap rip-rap. Ladies' feet go tipity-tip, tipity-fip, tipity-tip. Thep all go J rippity, clippity, tippity, bippity, skippity, hoppity, jumpity, thump. Ladies fly off by centrifugal momentum. Gcots pull ladie3 hard and close. They reel, swing, slide, filing, look tender, look silly, look dizsy.? Feet fly, tresses fly, hoops fly, dresses fly. all fly. It looks tuggity, buggity, pullity, squcezity, pressity, rubbity, rip. The men look* like a cross betweeq steel-yards and 'limber-jacks,' beetles and jointed X's. The -ipaideus ipok down their chins very low, or raise -them exceedingly high. Some smile, some grin, some giggle, some frown, same pout, some sneer, and all sweat freely. The ladies' faces are brought against those of the men, or into their bosomtrj breast against nose. Nowthey go again, making a sound like georgey-porgey, .derey,perey, ridey-pidey, coachey-poachey. 'Tht dancing is not much, but the extras are glorious.' If men were women there, would be no such dancing. But they, are only men, and'so th? thing goes on by woman's love of it. When a boy we used to visit these Dutch dances, trip the whirling beer barrels a^they passed oar feet, and then run for dear life. We still feel the instfnot of tripping in our toes. A secular writer says: 'There is no established standard of propriety about this matter. If I were a lady, I mi/jkt object to these-dances, but being a man, I do not. Wc certainly ought io be satisfied, if they are.' Oriental Wit.?A young man, going on a journey, intrusted -a hundred deencys to an old man ; when he came back the old man denied having had any money deposited with him, and he was taken up befove the Khazee: 'Where were you, young man, when you delivered this money ?' 'Under a tree/ 'Take my seel and summon that tree,' said the judge. 'Go, young man, and tell the trce'to come hither, and the tree will obey you when you show it my seal.' The young man went in wonder. After he had been gone some time, the Khazee said to the old man : ? 'He is long?do you throb be hafl get there yet ?' 'No,' said the old man; 'it-is at some distance ; he has not got-there yet' 'How knowest tbou, old man,' cried the Khazee, 'where that tree is V The young man returned, and said the tree would not'come. 'He has been here, young man, and given bis evidence?the money is thine.' .flaT A few days before Christmas I tpok a 'three year old,' a distant relative, without having intimated to him what I was about, to a store und purchased a pair* of boots for Kim, which were pot upon him and he sent home. It was amusing to see and hear him. Every acquaintince he met he'd pull up his pants and "see my now boots!' was his cry. It was with the utmost difficulty he could be persuaded to take them off when he was put to hed. A week or two after he had the new boots, his mother observed him in a great study, | when be woke up aud said: 'Mudder, when I die, will you give my boots away V 'Well, I suppos'e I'll have to give them to I some littll boy'. 'Den, raudder, I'll die mid dem on.' Valuable Receipt.?Careful housekeepers should cut out and preserve the following' invaluable receipt, contributed to household science by the Buffalo Republic : To Destroy flics.?Get a four horse power engine. Put it in the back kitchen, run shafting in every room, connected with the engine aforesaid by belting. On the shafting place fly wheels, smear the wheels with molasses, and set the engine going. The flies being attracted by the molasses on the fly-wheels, will light on them, and the wheel revolving rapidly they will be wheeled off. Have a boy under each wheel with a flat shingle, and smite them as they fall, and before they have time to recover from their dizziness. A smart boy has beeo-ktoowp to kill as many as fifty a day. Wanted to Prevent Suspicion.?A fellow who was arrested in Buffalo, for stealing a shirt, put in the following defence:? 'I did not steal the shirt?1 was passing along by the store, and saw the shirt hanging up, and then I took hold of it. Wheu T tnnV hofd nf it. it droDned down in mv hands, and I knew that if I stood there with it, people who saw me would believe that I meant to steal it; so I ran off to prevent suspicion attaching to me.' figy A Dutchman in one of the middle counties of Pennsylvania wanted a minister to preach at the child's funeral, and wasn't unreasonably particular as to who came 'Shon,' said he, <go and tell the circus preacher to come, and if he cant come, den get dc locust preacher, and if the locust preacher can't come, why then get the extortioner.' (exhortcr.) S&* The brother of Beethoven signed his name, to distinguish himself from his landless brother, " von Beethoven, land-owner." The immortal composer retorted by signing his, "Ludwig von Beethoven, brain owner." jJgT Leave all your grievances as Napoleon did his letters?unopened for a week? and it is astonishing how few of them, at that time, will require answering.

The Directors take pleasure in reassuring ( their numerous friends and patrons, that the Road to Ruin is now in good order. With- ' in the last three months it has carried more than three hundred thousand passengers clear through from the town of Temperance to:the city of Destruotion, while th6 number j of passengers is encouraging. An enotmous amount of freight, suoh ne mechanics' tools, ^ household furniture, and even whole farms, ] have gone forward ; and the receipts of the 1 year have been so. large that the Directors have resolved to declare a dividend of five hundred p6r cent. The track has been much improved, and relaid with Messrs. Dis.bolus & Co.'s patent rail. The grades are reduoed to a dead level, and the switches brought to such perfection aU along the route, as to jerk the cars in a moment from the main track, to avoid collision with the tolal Ab Stinence engine and the Temperance trains which have recently occasioned so much tronble. In short, we have spared no expense to make it superior to any other Road j to Ruin-ever established, . tt gives us great- | pleasure to call the attention of the public to the improvements in our engines'and cars. The old favorite locomotive?Alcohol?has a fire chamber of double capacity, and patent driving-wheels after the fashion of old " Juggernaut: Our wine-oars are models of luxurious conveyance, after the pattern of the far-famed London Gin Palaces, where . ladies and children and gentlemen, of the first water can have all attention. To keep | up with the spirit of the <:imes, our whiskey, rum, and brandy cars have been greatly enlarged, and fare reduced to half-price. Our cider, porter, acud beer cars are exciting ( great attention among the children. Our expariencec! .engineer, Mr Belial, and our polite and gentlemanly conductor, Mr. Mix, r have been too long known to the travelling public to need any commendation.
