Taking Ihe Census in Alabama
ST A "CUlCKtN MAX
o- 1840.
We rde up one day to ihe resi
dence of a widow rather post the
prime of life (just that period at
which nature supplies more abundant
ly the oil which lubricates the in-
ges of the family tongue) and hitch-
ingto the lence wal ied into the
house
'Good morning madai t,' said we in
our usual bland, and somew hat in
sinuating manner.
'Morning,' said the widow gruffly.
Drawing our blanks from their case,
we proceeded 'I'm the man madam,!

stuff people's got.jist to tax it, when
it's tmed enough already!'
All this time we were perspiring
through fear of the fierce guardians
of the widow's portal. At length
when the widow paused, we remark
ed that as she was determined not to
answer questions about the produce
of her firm, we would just set down
the ace, sex and complexion of each
member of her family.
'No such a thing; you'll do no such
a thing,' said she; I've cot five in
family, and that's a;ll you'lt get from
me. Old Van Duron must have a
heap to do, the drotted old li'lain, to
send you to take down how old chil

they are all between five anJ a hun

sinhi whiter thnn you, and whether
they are As or she, is none of your

Weftold her we should report her
to the Marsha, nnd she would be fin

'Yes! send your Marshal, or your
Mr. Van Huron here, if you'ie bad

tigress.) Oh I wish he would

her eves "learned, I'd cut his head

I 'That miht ki'l him,' we ventured
to remark, by way of a joke.

Saturday Mght.
How many associations, sweet and
hallowed, crowd around that short
sentence, "Saturday .ight." It is
indeed but the prelude to more pure,
more holv, more heavenly, associa
tions, which the tired frame and thank
ful soul hails with new and renewed
joy at each succeeding return. 'Tis
then the dir. of busy life ceases that
cares and anxieties are forgotten; that
the worn-out frame seeks its needed
repose, and the mind its relaxation
from earth, and its concerns with
joy looking to the coming day of rest
go wisely and beneficently set upart
for man's peace and happiness by the
Creator.
The tired laborer seeks now his
own neat cottage, to nhich he has
hoenastrangerperhaps the past week,
where loving wife and smiling child
meet him with smiles and caresses.
Hers ha realizes the bliss of hard earn
ed comforts; .ind.nt this time perhaps,
(.ore than any other, the happiness
ot aomestic li le and its attendant
luessings. .
Released from the distracting cares
of the week, the professional man
ladly beholds the return of "Satur

women used thorns for pins, and laid
their teapots away in the garret.
You wish to know what you can
learn? You iimv learn these seven
things.
'First: that you have saved too
little, and spent too much. I never
taught you to be a miser, but I have
seen you giving your dollar for a 'no -
lion,' when you miuht have laid one
half aside for charity and one half
aside tor a rainy day.
'Secondly: that you have gone too
much upon credit. I always told
you credit was a shadow; it shows
that there is a substance behind, which
casts the shadows; but a small body
may cast a greater shadow; and no
wise mnn will follow the shadow any
further than he can tee the substance.
You may now learn that you have
followed the opinion and fashion ot
others, until you have been decoyed
into a bog.
Thirdly: that you have been in
too much haste to become, rich.
Slow and easy wins the race.
'Fourthly, that no course of life
can le depended upon as always pros
perous. I am alraid the younger race
of working men in America have had
a notion that nobody would go to ruin
on this side the water. Providence
hits greatly blessed us, but we have
become presumptuous.
Fifthly: tliat you have not been
thankful enough to god for l is ber.e-
1 his in past times.
'Sixthly: thut vou may be thankful
our lot is no worse. e might hae
h'.miue, or pestilence, or war, tyranny,
or all together.
And, lastly, to end my sermon,
you may leurn to oiler, with more
understanding, the piaytr of your
infancy, "Give us this day our daily
bread.'' '
The old man ceased, and Sammy
put on his apron, and told Dick to

Poverty.
Poverty is often a torch-light which
kindles up an intellectual flame 10
brighten and beauty the whole moral
world; while the glitter of gold Llinds
the vision of millions to their best in
terests, and finally leaves them in
hopeless ignorance nnd disgrace.
X. Y. Aurora.
Yes, poverty is a good thing, para
doxically, as it were. It is a gocd
thing because we look upon it as a
bad thing a good thing, inasmuch as
it is the only thing which will cause
us to exert our faculties and todevel
ope our strength to escape from it.
We have intrinsic impulsive forces,
no doubt a yearning sometimes for
employment r.nd excitement the
love of distinction, of fame and so
forth a natural restlessness, which
is intended to arouse us to exertion;
but these things ar weak indeed as
stimulants, compared to the spur ar.d
lash of pavcrty, which, in its effects,
very often cons itntes our happiness
our usefulness and value as individ
uals, certainly; so that they who are
pool, should cease to grumble about
it, and console themselves with the
reflection that had the case been oth
erwise, they miht have been eaten
up with rust or worse. I'ennsylva

With regard to wheat in this

of the mummy is indefinite. Mum
mifications date from times anterior
to the Pyramids down to the days of

A Thrillins Scene.
We have conversed with a gentle
man who surrived the wreck of the
Sarah Barnes, and have gathered
from him many items of painfu! inte
rest. Our informaot was in the boat
which left the steamer just before the
waters closed ever her. The mate
inadvertently threw overboard a jvt
enntainins; watr,nd the firtt aighi
out the boat shipped a sen, spoiling
the only bread on board. The twelve
beings in the .little craft were thu
left destitute alone on the deep
with no knowledge of the distance
to the land, and exposed to an awful
dea':h, s:s sharks were seen iu everv
direction, awaiting the wreck of the
boat to seiee their victims. All wa
older and decorum, however. Eve
ry erne felt that nothing but an inter
position of I), vine mercy could tare
those exposed to elemental strife
hut no lip (anveied, no eye gave to
ken of feeiings of doubt and despair.
The twilight of the mind reigned su
preme !
As has been stated, Mr. Daggett
advised that the boat should stand
out to sea, and not attempt to pats
the t readers in view, beyond which,
two miles distant, was land. His ad
vice was followed, but the appear
ance of a cloud on the horizon, told
too plainly the upprosch ef one of
those gales that rage with euch fury
on the Gulf. Now came the trying
time. Poor Daggett w as appealed te
by all, and his council had been found
correct in every emergency. He de
clined pointing out any course for
his companions to follow, remarking
thai their doom was sealed!
A hasty consultation was held, end
it was agreed that the boat should at
temp t to pass the breakers! Dag
gett kept his hand on the helm, mere
ly remarking that "it was abeut the
best thing they could do, but that
every one must prepare to meet a
watery grave!'' The reply wis u
natiiinous, "(.lod's will be done," nnd
the prow of the boat was headed to
ward the bieakers! She rode the
