A TBI WOTS DBIAX ;' Pwt tell me, Marj, how it is that yon cm look to gay, WkM ureniDg after evening your busbani ? away 1 w*er see yon nullr about, nor any an an . gry word, But stiil you've plenty cauee for tears, if al be true I've beard I It's because, my sister dear, a husband voti ne'er wed; To see your children gethcring round asking you for bread, You ne'er can tell how it becomes a wo man's lot through life. To be, even to a drunkard's life, a faithfu loving wife, But still I can recall the time when bittei tears I shod, And when my husband staggered hoim What angry words I said, I never thought I could so cheerful be ai now I seem. Bat this happy change was brought about by a simple little dream. One eve as I sat waiting at our bumble cot tag? door, And listening for my husband's steps, as of I've dono before. Some wicked thought came in my head and bitterly I said? I never wished to seo him more, I woulc that he were dead. They say the wretched cannot rest, but sun it is not so, For very soon I fell asleep amidst cares o grief and woe, I dream'l I had my wish fulfilled, my hue band was no more, I fell upon his lifeless corps, and kissed bin o'er and o'er. Dearest darling, speak to mo, I meant u<? what I said, /*k 1- - - A *< <' HpeMK onoe more uuio your wiie, say, fi.ai you are not (load, 0 sure I ain not, Mary dear. I woke ug with a scream. And found my husband standing by; hi death was but a dream. Ever sinco that lime, when I feel disposed ti be unkind, The warning of that fearful dream come fra?h into rny mind ; Although it coats ine a pang to know th life lie leads, 1 strive to greet him with a smilu when ol my poor heart bleeds. I'll humbly put my trust in God, and asl for strength to bear The triid* ho has sent on earth for all of u to share, And if by patience, I sin-old change trr husband's wandering life, lXo*ll bless the hour that dream was sent l< his neglected wife. immxtihAssft oW" Th? Good Fellow. Proverbs have been called "the cur rent coin of wisdom among mankind and of those sayings, which has beer coined in the mint of modern everyday society, runs as follows; "A good fellow means good for nothing." Who is the good fellow i By observing a number of the indivdiuals who have received this label in their daity intercourse, we have concluded that he may be characterized as follows:? He is very democratic in his tastes and habits, lie nover refuses to make ar acquaintance, however unworthy the proposed acquaintance may be. He is nand and glove?joke and laugh? With loafer and knave, equally witl those persons of position who will con descend to accept him in suite of his as sociations. He will spena his last cerr with a pot companion of the meanes stamp while his family may lack some ordinary comforts at home. The "idci of allowing a group of his associates tx want for anything while he can com mand a sixpence, would be nrepostcr ons. But to deny his children som< little trifle tor their amusoment is aim ply a matter of economy. lie can't af ford it. Ho would be a mean fellow to leave his associates beforo two anc three o'clock in the morning?a etraieht land, sober sided homo aid nimry. But to keep a wife nwaitinj up till those hours?to rob her of hei natural rest, is an affair to joko ovei when the next bottle is uncorked T<. squander hundreds in dissipation a 11 long the low and vile is liberal and generous. To cheat the baker, the t*\i lor and shoemaker out of their hard earnings is simply smart?a standing joke with the good fellow. In short the good fellow is rendered a nuisahot to society by being a'ways goueroui before ho ?always liberal in (lis sipation and miserly whore nionoy is really wanted?always attentive to po companions to the neglect of his faini Ijr; and finally, because his careei generally ends by his going to th< almhonso to be supported at the pnbll expense. The balance in the Sub-Troasury a Now York Oh the 10th inst., was $8. 50 A FbagmeStil? Swiftly glide our years?tbey follow each other like the waves of the ocean. Memory ealla up b persons we oooe knew?the scenes in which wo were once the actors; they 2 appear before the mind like phantoms oi a night vision. Behold the poy rejoicing in the gaiety of his aonl wheel o? time cannot roll too rapidly for him?-the light of dances in 1 his eye?the smUe of expectation plays upon his lip?he looks forward tor i long years to come?his spirit burns within him 'when he hoars of great r men and mighty deeds?he longs to ' mount the hiu of ambition, to tread the path of honor, to hear the shout of ap' planso. Look at him again?he is new in the 1 meridian of life?care has stamped wrinkeU upon his brow?disappointr ment has dimmed the lustre of his eye-?sorrow has thrown its gloom up5 fin its countcnace?he looks back upon the waking dreams of youth, and sighs for their futility?each revolving year 1 seems to diminish something from his stock of happiness, and he discovers t that tho season of youth?when the pulse of anticipation bents hierh?in the . only season of enjoyment. W ho is he of that aged locks ? His t form is bent and totters?his foosteps move more rapidly towards the tomb ?he looks back upon the past?his ' days appear to have been but few, and he confesses they were evil?the magniI ftcenceof the world fades from his view, and sinks down into the silence of the ? grave. f Wiikre i.xra the Blame.?John B. Gough, in a late lecture at the Broadway Tabernac'e, illustrated the fact of thegeneral responsibility of liquor dealers for the consequences of drunkenness II thus : "Suppose,' said be, "that a man is sentenced to be punished by a thousand I ladies; A thousand lasthes will kill him. These lashes are to be admPhis r tered by a thousand men. He passes through the ranks, and one after anothin.-....-. r..n ? i.~j V/l UIU UIUUO 1U11 !i|A7II IMJ> UlUUUlIIg UIMI" 1 3'. One atlcr another these thousand men inflect each a blow. As he comes * to the nine hundred and ninety ninth; sinking and fainting, he receives the 0 lash upon an almost lifeless body. The hand of the thousandth is raised and s the blow falls upon a corpse. Is the thousandth man alone responsible for the death of his fellow 1 Did he kill 0 him ? Or is not every one of the thousand equally responsible! Theflret who struck a blow upon the strong stalwart man?the five hundredth ono who tor. turcd his bleed:ng flesh?the nine hundred and ninety-ninth who gave the last blow to him living and sensible. Did not each ono perform an equal part in depriving a fellow crca7 ture of life V > gggggmjywga Carrying off a Sheriff Mb. EprroK:?BeingjOn a late journey from tlie Literary to the Commercial Emporium, i was witness to an in cident of so amusing a character, that ' I must endeavor to make a little bit of i a star of it tor your Constellation. At Dedham, Mass. a number of other passengers with myself had just taken ' the stage, the driver whereof happening to be one of those unfortunate men who cannot truly say. UI owe no inan ' anj thing," was waited upon by one of ; those troublesome men called a sheriff. The visit happened at a most unlucky 1 time, for John had no money in his i pocket, and had jnst mounted his box > for a dozen mile drive* But thesheriff, i in spite of circumstances, insisted upon - it that he must either have his money i or tho man's body. The passengers - were impatient, John was wrathy, and - the sheriff was positive. The driver t pleaded his privilege from the arrest, t as a carrier of Uncle Sam's .v ail. Tho I 5 officer of the law didn't care a fig for i Uncle Sam nor his mail: neither ; all lie ) wanted was the money or the body; and one or the other lie was determined to have. John swore he hadn't trot the 3 money, and as for his body that must - go along with him to the next stage, i whether or no. In this way words were bandied al bout for sometime, and neither party v was drawing nearer the conclusion of l his business. j "Come down from that box," roarr cd the sheriff, r "I have other fish to fry," coolly an) swered the driver. I'll help you down thon," said tho 1 sheriff. "Thank you, sir,'* said the driver, "I 1 can manage my horses as quite well to ; sit hero." , "You won't come down then, ha?" > said tho sheriff. i ' "No," said tho driver coolly, at the eatnu time giving his whip a preparaI tory flourish, and sitting his corn fed t animals all agog to bo going. The sheriff seeing that ho was likely r to lose his man, sprang nimbly upon 9 tho box to bring hira down. At the c same moment the horscs^oheyiiig the signal to start, off went" the sheriff with It, t "Stop I stop t" bawlod the sheriff. . "Confound tho horses I how they go," said John, "I can't Wold them in tojwre my life"?at the hie whip,?nd laughing in the horses kept going as if (Ml Nick had been charioteer; and the - passengers laughed aloud. The officer ot the law finding hitmelf whirled away at the rate of twelve miles an hour, and that ail his bawling in the ear of John had no effect commanded the passengers in the name of the Common weal in, to aid him in arresting the driver. But the passengers not having the fear of the Commonwealth before their eyes, and having no deeire to be detained on their journey turned a deaf ear to the commands of the sheriff. This was too much for the man of "brief authority" to endure ; he swore, he threatened and entreated by turns all to no purpose. "Do you think," said one of the passengers to his neighbor, "that the sheriff has any right to arrest the carrier of the mail in this manner !" "The carrier of the mail has got the sheriff I think,,' returned the other, "and he is likely to keep himafor anght I see." "He whirls him away at a pretty stick," said another. "Ay," said a grave man in black, "ho wouldn't like to go to his last reckoning at this rate." "1 reckon not," said a mat) in a drab coat and broad beaver. We had our own observations inside, while the sheriff despairing of awaken liig OJ 4HJ/CH.1IJ VI OH mi^Ci Of VI down the driver unassisted, ana recolecting that every step of the horse was carrying him farther from home, begged a parley with the driver, and offered to let him proceed unmolested, j if he would set him down. "Sartinly," said John, "as soon as we get to tho next stage, which is only ten inile9." "Ten miles! I couldn't think of it for the world," said the sheriff, who now spoke in the submissive instead of tho imperative inodo. "It is but u step," said the driver, "we shall soon go it at this rate." However, John, who was not sorry at heart to be rid of such annoyance, at length appeared to take compassion on the officer of the law, and set him down, to tind his way back to Dedliam on foot. Iiow the question of privilege from arrest, tor Uncle Sam's mail carrier was finally settled, I have not lioa rrl ^ - I Unaccommodating. The follow ing humorous incident lately happened in one of our western towns:? A teamster drove up to the door of one ot tho principal hotels, and asked for lodging for himself and horse.? The landlord could not accommodate him, every bed in the house being taken up. 'Well,' said the teamster, 'I am not at all particular. I will put up with a part of a bed for the night.' 'Part of a bed 1' replied the host, 'why, my dear air, there is not a bed in the inn that has not two in it already, and in some three and four.' 'Well, can't you let me sleep in that 'ere parlor!' 'No; we are going to makeup seven teen beds there to-night, and they are ail engaged." 'Well, there, that's curious. Can't you give me a buffalo skin, and let me lay bere in the entry ? I shan't discommode nobodv.' 'No; I shan't have you in the ontry. We shall be up all night, and I don't want any folks clattering and spralling about tho door where people are passing all the time.' Well, yon are an unaccommodat'ng fellow, anyhow, I don't think,' said the teamster. 4Wonder if you've got a tarvern license 1 Tell you what, mister?you'vo got no bods, no buffalo skins, no nothing. Well, that ain't your fault just now exactly ; but,' continued he, looking at a rack where a multitude of cloaks and shawls were snspended, 'what will you take to let mo hang on one of thetn 'ere pegs t" The laugh was fairly turned against the host. Tho company present interceded, and tho teamster was entertain* od for the night. j A Knotty Tjcxt.?There was once , an itinerant preacher in West Tennes: see, who possessing considerable Natural eloquence, had gradually become I possoeea with tho idea that ho was also an extraordinary Biblical scholar. Under this delusion he would very fre quently, at the close of bis sertnoti. ask any ot his congregation who might nave a*(knotty textto unravel,tospeax it,and ho won Id explain it at once, bow mneh it might trouble uloss distinguished divinoa. On this occasion, in a large audience, ho was particularly pressing for some one to propound a text, but no one presumed to do so, he was aboot to sit down without an opportunity of showing his learning, when a chap by the door announced that ho haa a Bible quitter of ?gr8at oonoom." The preacher quity animatedly professed his willingness and ability, and the L "What I want to know," said the outsider, "is. whether Job's turkey The expoai^r looked oanfueed, and ^?eTW"^r/be^r int: "T fotch him down on the first question 1" From that time forward, the practice of asking for ''difficult passages" was avoided. Wbxbx abs You Going.?An anecdote is told of Finney, "the revivalist," and a canaler, to the following effect: He was holding forth in Rochester, and in walking along the banal one day, came across a boatman who was swearing furiously. Marching up, he confronted him, and abruptly asked? "Sir, do you know where you are going." The unsuspected man innocently replied that he was going up the canal on the boat Johny Sands. "No, sir, you are not," continued T?! U - 1. _u r inney, yuu lire guiug to ueu inaiui than a canal boat can convey yon." The boatman looked at him in astonishment for a minute, and then returned the question: "Sir, do you know where you arc going!" "i expect to go to heaven." "No, sir, you are going into'the canal /" And, suiting the action to the word, took Finney in his arms and tossed him into the inurkey waters, where he would have drowned had not the boatman relented and fished him out.
