Pwt tell me, Marj, how it is that yon cm

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<?

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.

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

A FbagmeStil? Swiftly glide our

which wo were once the actors; they

wheel o? time cannot roll too rapidly
for him?-the light of dances in

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

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

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

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

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

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.

whether they come under the specious garb'
of fiction, or in the direct form of nnti slavery
pamphlets. At this critical juncture, while
