Lol the wood-nymph yonder Bleeping, Hound her ivy-leaves are creeping; No-her charming eyes are keeping Watch o'er baby's ways. God's alone are here beholding Baby's mother now unfolding. Graceful beanty-nature's molding Art compelling praise, Forth she comes thro' flowering buahee; Tn the sparkling water rushes; Naiads admiring, watch her blushes, Far from human gaze. Horror! see the flood is seeking To prevent her now from sneaking! Yet how wildly is she shrieking, While her child's in view Whilo of death she's sadly thinking, While the fatal fluid she's drinking, While her lovely body's sinking, "WUlio, babe, adieu!"

Daring tho winter of 186-, business call? ed me to D-, a small, obsonre village in the interior of Pennsylvania. It was rather late in the evening when I arrived there, cold and hungry, for a tre? mendous snow-storm was raging at the time; and as I had traveled far that day, it is no wonder that it was with feelings very near akin to satisfaction that I hailed the appearance of the village inn, a small, two story frame building, which loomed up in the darkness before me. A bright log-fire was blazing on tho hearth when I entered, be? fore which I was soon comfortably seated, with a glass of "something warm" in my hand, awaiting tho preparation of the sup? per I had ordered. The landlord of the .'Beehive" (for such was the name of the inn) was a bustling, good-humored sort of a fellow, whose greatest delight seemed to consist in making his guests as comfortable ns possible. Before a small table were seated turee men, whose appearance indicated them tc be farmers. One of them was a small, rosy cheeked man, chock-full of fun and good nature; as his dancing eyes and smiling fae? sufficiently testified, while his broken Eng lish proved him to be a Dutchman. ''Veil, neighpor8," ho said, "I must p< koin borne now, or else mine goot frow vee pat apout me. Vo'll drink vonce more, an ten I ko." So saying, he called for some moro nie after drinking whioh, he settled with thc landlord, and took his departure. "Ever since our 'Fortune-teller' bas hat an heir, he hates to be away from home, ' said the host, turning to the two men at th< table. "What makes you call the man who hoi just left a fortune-teller?" I asked the land land, in some surprise. "It is quite a funny story," replied mini host; "and if you like, I'll relate it to yoi after you've had your supper." I assured him that it would give me grea fleasure; and as-my supper was now ready fell to, doing ample justice to the savor viands of which it was composed. After I had satisfied my hunger, I callee for a bowl of punch, and inviting the laud lord and his two companions to assist, I li my meerschaum, and settled myself to listei to the promised story, whioh the landlori told as follows: In a certain village not a hundred mile from here, there lived a Dutch farmer name? Dunderman, whoso family consisted of hi wife, and only son named Carl, who helpei his father work the farm. Carl was an in dnstrious, sober young man, who ha< reachod'the age of twenty-one without bav ing once been ten miles away from home so it is not to be presumed that his know ledge or experience was very extensive. Carl's invariable custom was to go ever evening, as soep as his work was done, an see Katrina Van Klepper, the daughter of neighbor, as handsome and buxom a lass s ever trod shoe-leather. While he would si and smoko with the old man, talking abor the crops and weather, Katrina would s demurely by sewing or knitting, ns tho ca: might be. Precisely when the clock struc 9, Carl was expected to leave. But one night, Carl, instead of leaving 1 0 as usual, still lingered, much to the sa prise of old Van Klepper, who, after waitin a few minutes without seeing any signs 1 his leaving, asked him why he did not lenv as he wished to shut np. "Pecanso, neighbor Van Klepper, I vai to speak a vew worts mit you," answere Carl, rather sheepishly. "Veil, fery gdotl pntatvby ton't yon p kin den?" returned the worthy, proceedii to fill bis pipe. "Veli, den, neighpor Van Klepper," b gan Carl, in rather a hesitating manner, ' loves your taughter Katrina, more as nef vas, an' she loves me doo ; an' as mine fadei varm an' your varm ut join, I dinks dat ' petter marry, so dat ven fader an' you ti de broberty viii sday in the vamily!" "Veil, fery goof, Carl," replied Vf Klepper, looking rat lier blank nt being tin ^^^^^^^'*^3W|f ^summarily $YO*eJL .ft; ^pjrt(dwW,?footch draw . tHy yr%w yfoer waHw^iirfa#prb' ceede8 to'b?unt it?'6<0rj?8?ts. . "I k?t shust dwo-toller au'-'sefendeea silents," Lo replied, [Carefully putting tho money back in bis pocket. "Dwo tollar, yon dandering pig vool! How de duy vel toes yon dink that you gan marry a frow mit only dwo tollar an' sefen deen shouts? Yen you kot dree hoontret tollars, an' ask you fader may be he kif him do you, den yon kin marry mit mine kiri; put not von dandering tay pefore. And now goot night, an' ton't gome here no more pefore you kit de mcnish. Ooma den, put no soonerl" Poor Carl had nothing to do but comply, and took his departure with a heavy heart; for how to get so much money was a pro? blem too difficult of solution for bim. The next morning Carl looked as wretched and woe-begone as a broken-down oil spe? culator. On his parents anxiously inquir? ing as to what ailed him, he related what bad taken place between bim and neighbor Yan Klepper. "Neighbor Von Klepper is Bbust right," responded bis father, when he had con? cluded. "And I dinks thal yon pe olt enough to ko and make your own vordune. Don't dink dat you kit anyding of me ven I tie, vor I dink dat I viii hf more as boon tret years yet. Mine fader kif me noding ven I marriet, and your fader do de same. I kif you dill to-morrow to stay here, and ven you ton't ko den avay, I'll kick yon avay." The wretohed Carl was thunder-struck at the turn affairs had taken; for in spite of bis own and mother's remonstrance, bis father was inexorable. So with a heavy foreboding heart, he began to make prepara? tions to leave his home, for Heaven only knows where. Early the next morning, Carl was ready to leave; his father gave him bis blessing, while his mother-unknown to his father gave bim three dollars out of ber own pri? vate savings, besides a loaf of bread and a small jag of buttermilk; and tbus fitted out, with a small bundle Bwung on a stick over bis shoulders, he started off with tears in bis eyes. Carl traveled on without meeting au ad? venture of any kind, till townrd noon, when being both tired and hungry, he sat down under a largo tree that stood in the road? side before a small cottage, and began an attack on bis bread nnd butter-milk. He had not been tbero long, however, before he was perceived by tbo woman of the house, who came ont and invited Lim to partake of dinner tLere. Curl, nothing loth, aeoepted Ler Lospitnble invitation, and was soon seated before a well-spread table, to the contents of which he paid the most impartial attention. During tho meal, the woman, with tho curiosity peculiar to country folks, plied him with all sorts of qnestions as to whore ho came from and wLitLer Le was going? all of winch Carl answered with tb? greatest good-nature. In return, she gave bim an account of all the peoplo living around. Among other things, she told Lim of n wealthy ola miller, named Verplank, who lived about six miles from there; Lo Lad married n young and Landsome wifo, of wLom Le was very jealous and proud. To make matters worse, a Landsomo nepliew of his came to his bouse quite often, and took Mrs. Verplank out riding, wliicli brouglit tLe poor miller almost to tLe verge of distraction. Carl listened to Ler gossip for a long time with the greatest attention; then, being both refreshed and rested, he thanked thc woman for her hospitality, and bade her farewell. He jogged along fora few miles fartLer, till Le came to a place wLere a vendue sale was being Leid. He looked on for a while, and watched tLe progress of tLe salo with great interest till Lis eye was caught bj three bee-Lives; Carl had never seen a bee? hive before, and he examined them with groat curiosity. Asking a by-atander whal they contained, he was informed that thej contained bees-that bees made honey ano wax-and other scraps of natural history, which Carl heard with the greatest amaze meut. Tho bees seemed to strike his fancy, for he stepped up to tbe auctioneer ant asked bim what he would charge for a peel of "dem liddle gritters?" "We don't sell bees by the measure," re plied that functionary, laughing, "but oubj by the hive." Carl waa very sorry, and the auotioneer seeing bis disappointment, told bim that lu would sell Lim a few to accommodate Taking an old candle-box, be shook a bum ber of tbo bees out of tbe hive, and sLut ting up the box, gave it to Carl, charging him three dollars for tLe same. Carl cLcer fully paid tLe money, and walked off witl his prize as happy as a king, amidst th laughter of the crowd. The shades of evening were beginning t< fall when Carl c i mo in sight of Verplank' mill, and the miller was standing in th door-way when be stepped up. "Goot efening, Mr. Verplank! Low too you do?" said Carl, setting down bis box and accosting the miller. The miller, wLoso perception was ratho j obtuse, surveyed Carl with tho most uu bounded astonishment. "How de duy vel toos you know dat min name is Verplank, eh?" he uttered, in voice of surprise. "O, I knows eferyding, becnuse I pe vordune-teller!" returned Carl, coollj "Mine pox here dells me eferyding I vant to know!" "Gome, dat is doo goot! How de duj vel eau dat pox shbeak anyding, I vants t know?" "O. ko to de dunder! Tidn't I dell yo dat dis is a vordnne-deller pox? BLust as me anyding, and see!" "Veil, den, dell me vat mine vife'? nam ' is, an' vat sLe is toing sLust now-den 1 "wr|. I 11 L I'-'-WTff" ! "Jig"1 ??" i "De name OT -yonr -wife-ia-Carlotta, an* ahnst now aha) ?P?barkin? init) v'4ar nevvy, Hans Verplank I'.', cried Carl, triumphantly, removing his'head from the box'tb Which he hkd fp3pUed Mid ear. Q 2 JT jj / ?.Ddna?hr, blitzen, nn' donsand Hnyveh!'' exclaimed tbe miller. Ja dismay. . "Poelzu pup is In dat pox, by Cot!" After recovering somewhat from his asto? nishment, he asked Carl if he would come with him to bis house, adding, as an induce? ment, that he would give him tbree dollars and his supper. Carl told bim he would, if he would give bim lodging for the night also; and tbe miller complying, he accom? panied him to his house. The miller chuckled with delight as he anticipated the dismay of his wife when she would have her fondest secrets revealed. After supper, Carl confounded both tbe miller aud bis wife by the revelation he made by the pretended aid of the miracu? lous box; for tho woman at whose house he had dined, had posted him pretty well in their affairs. "I viii kif you von hoontret tolhvrs for dat pox!" be exclaimed, thinking what a valua? ble acquisition it would bo to him in aiding to ferret out bis wife's secrets. "No," replied Carl; "I gan't sell dat pox, vor it bas peen in de family more as hoon? tret years. Mine kreat-krant-fader kave it do mine krant-fader on bis tying pet, an' mate him shvear nefer to bart mit it." "Veil, den, I kif you dwo hoondort!" he said, fearful of losing snob a chance. Carl reflected a few minute?. "I dell you vat I will do," he said, atlast; "kif me dwo hoondcrt an vif ty, an' I Bell him to yon.'' Althougu sorely against the grain, the miller closed tbe bargain, much to the dis? pleasure of Ins wife, who urged him not to make a fool of himself; but this only added fuel to the flame of the miller's desiro to possess tbe box, and he went to his bed? room and brought Carl tho money. "No vonder mine frau ton't vant mo to haf dat pox!" bo muttered, significantly, as he oonnted out the money. "Pnt how viii I understand de pox ven ho dalks mit me?" be inquired. Carl told bim to call him up early in tho morning, and be would tell bim. At day-break tbe next morning, the miller awakened Curl, mid told bim to ?et right up and show bim bow to understand the box, for "dat it was dalking likede duyvel!" (The bees were buzzing liko a circular saw.) "Veli," said Curl, "virst, you must bo in a room mit yourself all alone, an' den you make ii hot vire; den you lock de toor au' drov de key out do vindow, an' pull your glotbes oft*. Von dat is tono, smear your? self all ofer mit molasses, open do pox, au' you lint bim all out." So saying, Carl bado the miller good morniug, and took bis departure, anxious to placo as much distuuee ns possible be? tween himself and tbat individual. The poor miller followed Carl's directions to tbo letter. Tbe catastrophe that followed may bo imagined; when be opened the box, the bees, rendered infuriato by being con iiued so long, attacked bim on all sides. The wretched miller bellowing in agouy, and danced around tho room like an Indian warrior! His wife bearing the uproar, ran to tho room, but finding it locked, bad to get un axe to break it down; she was terror stricken at the startling scene that burst on her view; for the yells of the agonized miller were something awful to hear. H?nning out of tbo room, she soon returned with a broom, with which she brushed the sweet infects from ber lord. It was fully a week before tho poor miller recovered from the effects of the stings ho had received. Ho promised his wifo if she never would tell, that he would never bo jealous again. Carl arrived safely at home with bis ill gotten money, and bis father was so well pleased at his success, that he gave him the additional fifty dollars, thus enabling bim to marry his beloved Katrina, with whom ho has lived in the greatest harmony ever since.
