Good Kigbf.
Good night!
labor now is through.
E'en the day bows sileot down,
tMN 'Quiet reigns throughout the town,
Till the morrow breaks anew.
Good night!
Go to rest!
Closed our weary eyelids all,
Still is all within, without,
Watchmen only are about;
Darkness settles liko a pall;
Go to rest!
Slumber sweet
Dream ye earth of Patndise !
i nose wiio've ten love's sorest wound,
May Elysian scenes surtound,
Fair as loved ones to tlieir eyes ;
Slumber sweet!
v Good night!
Slumber till the dawn appears 1
Slumber till the new born morrow
Comes again your cares to borrow ;
God is watching ; cease your fears!
Good night!

Sam Bates and Sally Jones.
"(Nathan Jones, a small fanner in
our vicinity, had a daughter, as
pretty and buxom a lass 4?s ever
thumped buttermilk in a churn; and
whether jou saw her carrying eggs to
market on a flea-bitten mttre, or helping
to stir apple-butter at a boi'ing
frolic, or malting a long reach at a
quilting, or sitting demurely in the
iwg meeiing^iiouse on a ?unuay?in
short, wherever you 6a\v hor slie alfrays
looked as pretty, if not prettier,
th an she had ever done before.
".Notwithstanding her attractions, it
will scarcely be credited thatSallv had
reached the mature age of eighteen
without au avowed suitor. Admirers,
nay lovers, she had by the score; and
whenever liquor was convenient, many
a sober youtti got drunk because ot her,1
and many a sighing bachelor would I
willingly have given, his riding-horse,
or even his sha'-o in Dad's farm, for
her. T! tere was, indeed, no lack of
Will on their part; the dillicultv was
in mustering up courage to mulce the
proposal. Mankind seemed, for once,
to be impressed with a proper sense of
its own unworthiness Now, far be it
from any one to infer from this that
Sally was proudish or unapproachable.
On the contrary, she was a goodhumored,
as a comedy, and disposed
to be loving as she was lovable. Poor j
Sally 1 it is great misfortune for a girl
V.f.. ^1 . rt . 1 . .. . .llttA.i ? .
\aj uc iuu iiaiuouiuv; y uiiuudt tio cat uo
to bo too ugly. Tiiere slic was, socia- j
ble and warm-hearted as a pigeon,
amiable ft9 a turtle-dove, looking soft!
encouragement, as plainly as maiden !
modesty permitted, to her bashful
company of admirers, who dawdled
about her, twiddled their thumbs, bit-j
ing the bark off their riding-switches,!
and playing a number of oilier sheep- j
ish tricks, but saying never a word to
the purpose.
"Either lie fears his fill too much,
Or his desert is small.
"Who dares not put it to the touch, i
And win or lose it all.'
"Sally was entering on her nine-'
teenth year when she was one day
heard to oljserve, that men were the 1
meanest, slowest, cowardlicst, or scariest
creatures; in short, good for noth-1
ing but to lay under an apple-tree!
with their mouths open, and wait until
the apples dropped into them.
"Tnis observation was circulated
from month, to motuli, ami like the rid-:
die of a Sphinx, was deeply pondered j
by Sally's lovers. If any of them had |
wit enough to solve its meaning, certainly
no one had pluck enough to
prove the answer.
"Not of this poor-spirted crowd
was Sam Bates, a stalwart youth, who
stood, in winter, ?ix feet two inches in
his stockings (in summer lie didn't
wear any.) Sain was not handsome
in the ordinary sense of the term.?
He was freckled, had a big mouth,
and carroty hair. His feet?but not
matter, lie usually bought number
fourteen r ' a half boots, because they
fittetj him better than sovens or eights.
Sam was a wagon-maker by protossion,
owned a tlursliing shop and several
hundred acre of unimproved land,
which secured to him the reputation
of independence. For the rest, he
was a roystering blade, a good rider,
a crack-shot with tSic rifle, and ail accomplished
fiddler. Bold to tho confines
of impudence, he was a favorite
of tho fair ; with a heart as big as bis
foot, and a fist like a sledge-hammer,
lie was the acknowledged cock of the
walk, and preux chtcalicr of the pine
hill country.
*Mr. Bates mot Bally Jones for the
first time at a quilting, and in sixty
seconds after sight ho hftd determined
to court her. 1 ic sat beside her as
she stiched, and oven had the audacity
to squeeze her hand nnder the quilt.?
Trntjl is Blighty, and mast be told.?
' Altlfl|g|gH Sally did resent the imj ertineoc?
by a stick with her needle, si e
was not half so indignant ay ?ho oug't
to iiave been. I dare not say she wtte
Sleased, bnt perhaps I should not be
jr from the truth if I did. It is undeniable
that the more she admires courage
and boldness in the other six?
Sally blushed every time her eyes met
those of hor new beau, and that was
as often as she looked up. As for
Sam, the loi ger he gazed the deeper
he sunk in the mire of love, and by
the end of the evening his heart ana
his confidence were both completely
overwhelmed. As he undertook to
see Sally home, he felt a numbness in
his joints that was entirely new to him
and when he tried to make known his
j sentiments as he had previously detenu
iued, tie found his heart was so
swelled up that it closed his throat,
and he could not utter a word.
"What a darned, cussed sneak I
was P' groaned Sam, as he turned that
night ou his sleepless pillow. 'What's
come over me that I can't speak my |
mind to a pretty gal without a-choken ?!
O Lord ? but she is too pretty to live!
on this airth. Well, Inn a-going to
church with her to-morrow ; and if 11
i don't fix mattoi-s afore I get back, then
[ drat mo."
| "It is probable Sam Bates had nev-j
l er hearkened to the story of Kasselas,!
j "Prince of Abyssinia,' or lie would have j
,l>een loss credulous while thus listening j
| to the whispers of fancy, and less,
' ready to take it for granted that the
deficiencies of the day would be sup1
plied by the morrow. To-morrow
: came, and in due time Mr. Bates, tricked
off in a bran-new twelve dollar suit
of Jew's clothes, was on liis wny to
meeting besides the beatilul Sally.?
! Ilis horse, bedecked with a new leather
bridle, and a new saddle with brass
I stirrups, looked as gay as his master, j
; As they rode up to the meeting-house!
' door, Sam could not forbear casting a (
triumph nut ^rlauce at the crowd of
Sally's adorers that stood around filled
with mortification anil envy at his successful
audacity. Sally's face was
roseate with pleasure and bashfulncss.
"Stop a minute, now, Miss Sally: I'll
jist get down and lift ye off 1"
"Sam essayed to dismount, but in so
doing found that both feet were liopolessly
fast in the stirrups. His face
swelled and reddened like a turkey
gobbler's. In vain be twisted and
kicked ; the crowd was expectant;Sally
was waiting. Gosh darn the stecrup !
exclaimed Sain, endeavoring to break
the leathers with his desperate kicks.
i A f tltio umi'Anfn/l Av/i1ni%?nf'An Qolltr
j.a.u uuo uuitviivv;u ^aciaiiiub-vii kjcviij
looked up, and saw her beau's predicament.
The bystanders begun to
snicker. Sally was grieved and indignantl.
Bouncing out of her sadd e,
in a twinkling she handed her entrapped
escort a stono. 'Here Sammy,
l chunk your loot out with this!"
"Oh, Sally Jones, into what an error
did your kind heart betray you, to
; offer this untimely civility in the presence
of the assembled county?admirers,
rivals and all!
"Sam took the stone and struck a
frantic blow at the pertinacious sturrup,
but missing Ids aim, it fell with
crushing force upon a solt corn that
had come from his wearing tight boots.
'Whoa, darn ye!' cried he, losing all
control of himself, and threatening to
beat his horse's brains out with the
stone.
' Don't strike the critter so, Sammy,,
said old Jones; 'you'll gin him the poll
I evil; but jist let me ongivth the saddle,
and we'll get you loose in no time.'
"In short, the saddle was unbuckled,
and Sam dismounted with his feet still
fost in the stirrups, looked like a criminal
in foot-hobbles. Witli some labor
lie pulled off his boots, squeezed them
out the sturrups, and pulled them on
again. The tender Sally stood by, all
the while manifesting the kiuduest
| concern : and when he was finally extricated,
she took hi$ arm and walked
I him into church. But this unlucky
| adventure was too much for Sam ; he
| sneaked out of the meeting during the
first prayer, pulled off his boots, and
rode homo in his stockings. From
; that time Sam Bates disappeared from
| society. Literally and metaphorically
i he shut up shop, and hung up bis fiddle.
lie did not take to liquor like a
fool, but took to his ax and cleared I
' don't know how many acres of rug'
ged land, heavy timbered land, th<*rel>y
increasing the value of his tract to
the amount of several hundred dollars.
Sally indirectly sent him divers civil
messages, intimating that she took no
account of that little incident at the
ineeiing-honse, and at length ventured
on a direct present of a pair of gray
yarn stockings, knit with her own
hands. But while every effort to win
him back to ttie world was unsuccessful,
the yarn stockings were a great
comfort in his self-uuposed exile.?
Sam wore them cotinuaJly, not on his
feet, as some matter-of-fact boob}'
might suppose, but in his bosom, and
often, during the intervals oi his work
in the lonely clearing, would he draw
them out and ponder on them until a
big tear gatlicred in his eye. *Oh,
Sally Jones, Wally Jones! if I had only
had the sptrnk to have courted ye Satnrdav
night, instead of waiting till
Sunday morning, things might hare
been different 1* and then he would
" i
pick up his *x, and whack into: the
next tree with the eftergy of despair. -.
"At length the whole country was J
electrified by the announcement thai
'Farmer Jones had concluded to sell
out and go West,' On thedav appointed
for the sale there couldn't have been
less than a hundred horses tethered in
bis barn-yard. Sam Bates was there,
looking as uneasy as a pig in a strange ?
corn-field. Sally might liavo been a
little thinner than usual, lust enough
to heighten rather than diminish her
charms- It was generally known that
she was averso to moving West. In
fact she took no pains to conceal her (
sentiments on the subject, and her
pretty eyes were evidently red with ,
recent .weeping. She looked mourn- fully
around at each familiar object.
Tho old homestead, with its chunked i"
and daubed walls; the cherry-trees tifi-1
der which she had played in childhood;
the llowors she hau planted; and then j
to see the dear old furniture auctioned
oft'?the. churn, tho apple-butter pot, j
tho venerable quilting frame, the occa- i
sinn ftf art mnnv cnr?inl rrnfliftrln<ra I
But harder than all it was when her
own white cow was put up; her pet I
that, when a calf, she had saved fromI
the outcher?it was too much, and the!,
tears trickled afresh down Sally's | I
blooming'cheeks. 'Ten dollars, ten j
dollars for the cow!' 'Fifty dollars!' '
shouted Bates.
"What Sammv,' whisrercd a pru- (
dont neighbor, 'she hain't worth twenty
at the outside.'
"I'll gin fifty for her,' replied Sam, <i
doggedly.
"Now when Sully heard of this piece
of gallantry, she must needs thank the
p-re baser for the compliment, and j
commend Suky to his especial kind- ^
nose. Then she extendea her plump
hand, which Bam seized with sncli a
devouring grip tliAt ti*? iitiJo ummIoti '
could scarcely suppress a scroam.? ?
She did suppress it, however, that she <>
might hear whetttbr he had anything J
further to say; but she was disappoint- j
ed. lie turned away dumb, swallow- j
ing, as it were, great hunks of grief as ?
big as dumplings. When everything)
was sold oft, anil dinner was over, the "
company disposed itself about the yard |
in groups, reclining on the grass or:
seated on benches and dismantled fur- s
niturc. The conversation naturally j
turned on the events of the day and 1
the prospects of Jones family, and it:
was unanimously voted a cussed pity ; r
that so fiuo a girl as Bally should be I
permitted to leave the country so cvi- u
cleutly against her will.
' 'Hain't none of you sneaking
whelps the spirit to stop her?' asked
the white-headed miller, addressincr a
/ # o "" j
pjoui) ofyoung batchelors lying near.!
The louts snickered, turned over, wliis- (
pored to each other, but no one show- "
ed any disposition to try the experi- incut.
"The sun was declining in the west, j r
Some of those who lived at a distance :
were already gone to harness up their
horses. To-morrow the Hello of Caen-'
non Valley would be on licr way to
Missouri. Just then Sally rushed from ,
the house, with a face all excitement, |
a step all determination. Arrived at;
the middle ot the yard, she mounted
the rev crf*d apple-butt r kettle : 4I
don't want to go West?I don't?I
don't want to leave old Virginia; and
1 won't leave, if there's a man among
ye that has spunk enough to ask me to
stay.'
"But where is Southern Chivalry ?.
?withered beneath the sneers of co\d
blooded malignity??choked by the
maxims of dollar-Jingling prudence ??v
distanced on the circular race-course
of progress??bankrupt through the
tricks of counterfeiting politicians!?
Deluded querist, no! Like a strong
and generous lion it sleeps?sleeps so
soundly that even apes may grimace
and chatter insults in his face, and pull
hairs from its tail with impunity ;
but frivo it a omod Imrd i>ok<? And tnn
will^iear a roar that will make thei
crowd tremble and the brave prudent, j
' Jlearken to the sequul of Sally
Jones:
"Scarcely had she finished her patriotic
address when there was a general
rush. The less active were trampled
over like puffed goat-skins at a bacchanalian
festival: "Miss Sally, I axes
you'Miss Sally, I spoke first'I bespeaks
her for my own son Bill/
squeaks an octogenarian, struggling
forward to seize her arm. To uide
hor confusion, Sally covered her face
with her apron, when she felt a strong
arm thrown around her, and heard a
stentorian voice shout, 'She's mine, by
Gauley.'
"Sam Bates cleared a swath as if he
had been in a grain-field, bore his unresisting
prize into the house, and
slammed the door on the cheering i
crowd. .
I LLf1H -1-1* . A* i.1 i. ? * .1 A- '

and on tho following morning 8am ]
rodo homo, driving his white cow bo- 1
fore nnd carrying his wife behind '
him."
As a pretty targe number of culprits were |
going to be hung, the wife of one of thorn i
pressed through the crowd, and told the 1
shoritl she had ooine to see her poor hue- !
band executed, and begged and plead that J
be might be hanged first in the morning as <
she had a great way to go home ? (
