Nathan Jone, a small farmer in our vicinity, had a daughter, aa pretty and buEom a lata aa ever thumped but tcr milk in u churn; and whether you saw her carrying eggs to market on ihe Qva-biiten mare, or helping lo stir apple-butter at a boiling frolic, or ran king k long reach at a quilting, or sit ting demurely in the log meeting house on Sunday in hoit, wherever you aa her. ahe ulwaya looked ns pretty, if not prettier, than she had ever done before. Notwithstanding her attractions, it will scarcely be credited ihm Sully had reached (he mature nge of eighteen without an avowed auilor. Admirers, nay. lovers, she hml bj 'h score; nnl whenever liquor was convenient, mm) a ober youth got drunk because of her. and many a sighing bachelor would luive given his riding horse, or even Ins ahare in dnd's larm for her. Theie waa, Indeed, no lack of will on their p dri the difficulty whs in mua teriog courriyru to mnku the piopo ieI. Mankind seemt d for once to be impreaaed with a proper aenae of their own unwor.hintsa. Now, far be it from Rny one lo inlVr from thia that Sitlly was prudish or iinripproachable. On ihu cunirarv, she was as good huaiored, at comely, and diapuaed to bu aa loving aa she WEB loteablc. Poor Sally! it is a great miaforttinr for a girl to be loo handsome; almost be great as to be loo ugly. Th'trw she was, ns sociable and warm hearted as a pigeon, amiable as h turtle-dove, looking soft encouragement, eb plainly as maiden mcdesty permit ted, to her dashful company of ndmir era, who dawdled about her, twiddling their thumbs, bidng the bark off their lidinrv switches, tnd playing a number of other sheepish tricks, but never say ing a word lo the purpose. Sally was entering on her nineteenth year, when she waa one day heard lo observe that men were tha meanest, slowest, coward lieat, or' nariest crea tures: in Khort, good fur nothing but to lay under an apple tree with ibeir mouths open and wait until the apples drop into them. Thia observation was circulated from mouth to mouth, and. like lha riddle of the sphinx, waa deeply pondered by Sally's lovers. If any of them had wit enough to solve its meaning, cer tainly no one had pluck enough to prove the answer. Not of this poor crowd web Sam Bates, a stal wart youth, whontood, in winter, six feet two inchea in his stock inga; (in summer he didn't wear any.) Sam was not handsome, in the or dinary sense of the term. He was freckled, had ubig mouth and carroty hair. His feetbut no matter he usually bought number fourteen and a half boots, beeause they fit him bet ter than aevena or eighta. Sam was a wagon maker by trade, owned a flourishing shop and several hundred acres of unimproved land, which aecured to him the reputation of independence. For tho rust, he was a roystering blade, a good rider, a crack shot with a rifle, and an accom plished tiddler. Bold to the confines of impudence, he was a favorite of the fair; with a heart as big as his foot, and a fist like a sledge hammer, hu wai acknowledged the cock of the walk, and preux chtvalier of the pinehill country. Mr. Bales met Sally Jones for the first time at a quilting, and in sixty seconds after siht ho had determined to court ber. He sat beeide her as she stitched, and even hid tho audac ity to squeeze her hand under the quilt. Truth is mighty und must he told. Although Sally did not resent his impt rtinenoe by a stich with her nee dle, she was not half ao indignant as she ought to have been. I dare not say she was pleased, but perhapa I should not be far from the truth if I did. It is undeniable that the more gentle and modest a woman is, the more she admires courage and bold ness in other sex. Sally blushed every time her eyes met those of her new beau, and that whs as u ti n as she looked up. As for Sim. the longer he gaged, the deeper he sunk in the mire of tort, and by tho end of the evening his heart and his confidence were both completely overwhelmed. As he undertook to see Sully home, he felt a numbness in his jonits that was entirely new to him, nnd when he tried to make known his sentiment as he had previously determined, lie found his heart was so swelled up that t closed his throat nnd lie couldn't ut ter a word. "What a darned, irusaed sneak 1 was!" groaned 8am, as he turned that night on his sleepless pillow. "What'a come over me, that I can't apeak my mind to a pretty girl without a oho kin'f 0 Lord! but she is too pretty for this earth. Well, I'm it goin to church with her to-morrow: and if I don't fix mutters afore I go back, then drat me." It is ptobable Sam Bates had never hearkened to the story of ''Ilasselas, Prince of Abyssinia." or lie would have been less credulous while thus listening to the whipra of fancy, and lets ready to take il for granted thai the deficiency of the day would be supplied by the morrow. lo-morrow came, and in title time Mr. Bates, tricked off in a bran new twenty-dollar suit of Jew's olothes, was on his way te meeting beside the beautiful Sally. His horse, bedecked with a fair, new leather bridle, and a new saddle with brass ailirupa, looked as gay as his naaeter. As thty rode up to tho meeting bouse door, 8am could not forbeat casting b triumphant glance at the crowd of Sully's adorers that atood around, filled with mortification and envy at his successful audacity. Sally's face was roseate with pleas ure and bash fulness. "Stop n minute, now. Mins Sallv: I'lljist git down and lilt ye off!" Sara essayed to dismount, but in bo doing found both feet helplessly fast in the stirrups. His face swelled nnd reddened like a turkey gobbler's. In vain he twisted and kicked; the crowd was expeotanl; Sally was waiting, "(iosh dang the steriup!" exclaim ed Sam. endeavoring to break the strap by his desperate kicks. At this unwonted exclamation, Sally looked up nnd saw htr beau's predic ament. The bystanders began to snicker. Silly was grieved and indignant Houncing out of her saddle, in a twin kling, the handed her entrapped es cort a stone. "Hero. Sammy, chunk your foot out with this!" Oh, S illy Jones! into what an error did your kind heart betray you to of fer this untimely civility in the presence of the assembled county admirers, rivals nnd all. Sim took tho atonn and struck a frnntic blow nt the pertinacious stir rup, but musing Iii aiBi. it fell with cruching force upon a soft corn, the had como from hit 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, flammy," said old Jones; "you'll gin him the poH-evil. But jist lei mu ongirth the Middle, and we'll git you loose in no lime." In Oiort, the saddle was unbuckled, and Sam dismounted, with Iiis feel still in the stirrups, looking like a criminal in foot-hobbles. With some labor he pulled off his boots, squeezed them out of the stirrups, nnd pulled them on again. The tender Sally atood by, all the whila manifesting the kindest concern; and when he was ex tricated, ahe took his arm nnd walked him into church. Bu' this unlucky adventure was too much for Sam; he sneaked out of the meeting during :he first prayer, pulled off his boots and rode homo in hit stockings. From this time Sam Bates disap peared from society. Literally and metaphorically he shut up shop and hung up his fiddle. He did not take to liquor like a fool, but took to his axe and cleared I don't know how ma ny acres of rugged, heavy timbered land, thereby increasing the value of his tract to tin- amount of several hun dred dollars. Sally indirectly sent him divers civil messages, intimating that she took no account of the little accident at the meeting house, and at length ventured on a direct present of a pair of gray yarn stocking, knit with htr own hands. But while every effort to win him back to the world was unsuccessful, the yarn stockings were a great com fort to him in his self-imposed exile. Sam wort1 them continually, not on his Icel, as some matter-of-fact booby might suppose, but in his bosom; and often, during lha intervals of his work in ihe lonely clearing, would he ihm draw them out and ponder on ihum until a big tear gathered in his eye. "Ohl Sitlly Jones, Sallv Jones, had 1 only had (he spunk lo have courted ye Saturday night, inatend of wailing until Sunday morning, things tniglii have been different I" And then he would pick up his axe 'tnd whack it into the next tree with the entrgy of despair. At length the whole country web electrified by the announcement that "farmer Jones had concluded to sell a I Ii 44 . a a out nnu go west. un tue üay ap could not pointed lor tlie sale, then have been less than a hundred horses gethered in his barnyard. 8am Bates was there, looking as uneasy as a pig in a strange corutield. 8ally might have been a littlo thin, ner than usual; just enough to height I n rather than diminish her charms, it waa generally known that she was averse to moving west. In fact she took no pains to conceal her sentiments on the subject; her pretty eyes were evidently red with recent weepm f, She looked mournfully around on each familiar object; the old homeatead with its chunked nnd daubed walle; the cherry trees, under which she had played in childho id; tho flowers she had planted: and then to see the dear old furniture auctioned off the churn, the apple-butter pot, the venerable quilling frame, the occasion of so ma ny social gatherings. But harder than all was it when her own white cow was put up; her pet that, when a calf, shu had saved from the butcher; it was too much, and the tears trickled afresh down Sally's blooming cheeka. "Ten dollars, ten dollars for the cow !" "Fifty dollara !" shontedSam Batee. "Why. Simmy." whispered a pru dent neighbor, "ehe hain't worth twenty, at the outside." "1'li gin tifiy for her," doggedly re plied 8am. Now, when Sally heard of this pit of gallantry, tho must needs ih nk the purchaser for the compli ment, and commeud Sukey to his es pecial kindnosa. Then she extended her plump hand, whicli Sam seised with auch a devouring grip that lh little meiden could scarcely aupnresa a scream. She did suppress it, How ever, that she might hear whether he had anything further to say; but shs was disappointed. Ha turned away I i nib. swallowing, as it were, hunks of grief at big as dumplings. Wlie i vi ry thing wua told oil atid dinner was over, Ihe ootnptny disposed itself about ths yard In groups, reelin- tag on the grass, or sealed oa the ben- ' ches and ditmantlin furniture. The conversation naturally turned on the events of the day and the prospect of the Jones family, nnd it was unani- mously voted a cussed pity that su fine a girl as SaMy should be permitted to leave the country against her will. "Hain't none of you sneaking whelps the spiret to ctop her?" asked , tue wiiite-lieiiueu millers, audressinira J group of your.g bachelors lying near. Ihe louts snickered, turned over, whispered to each other, but no one showed any disposition to try the ex periment. The sun was declining in tho weat. Some of thoB ' who lived at a diatance were already -ont to harness tip their horses. To morrow the belle of Ca capon valley would bo on her way to Mit souri. .In-: then Sally rushed from the house, with a face all excitement, a I step all determination.

HXMBY WARD BEECnsU. Bev. Henry Ward Beecher preach ed on Sunday morning on Money and its Uses. Aa usunl his audience was very large, and the attention through out profound and earnest. He said that oura is the age of wealth. The world has had its age of war, its age of art, ita age of chivalry, and itaage when political economy was the con trolling idea, but ours the age of com merce. Money ia the world'a power to day. It rules the statu and settles political questions. It is stronger than religion stronger than any principle of morality or political econemy stronger than all combined. For mon oy, the world'a spirit would adopt any religion. If tho Pope of Rome could convince j tho world that his religion was a money-making religion, he could send! n'" 8'en rona P'e 10 P'a' Rn( mere ib not a nauvu wia wuuiu not carry them. If the Czar of Russia, could convince the world that csarism i was the government most profitable, i cxarism would be the world'a govern-' ment; nnd there is no power on earth that could prevent it. For money the world'a spirit would crusify Christin whatsoever form he might appear. There is no auch thing as meeting this desire for money in n successful con tlict. It would be a thankless nnd un successful task, to urge upon the world any principle which it believed to be opposed to its pecun ary inter ests, and they who do thua atand out are few, and their task is a hard one. Happily, there is no occaaion for war ring with a desiie for wealth. The desire to bo rich ia not evil of itself. It is nonsense for a man to j stand up and dischiim the desire for wealth, and urge upon the world the idea that it should be poor. Money is neither ar. evil nor a good of itself; it haa not a moral character. It is simply an agent, and whether it be good or evil, depends upon iho man ner in whieh it ia uaed. It ia like a aword in the hands of a Benedict Ar nold bathed in hia country 'a blood, or in the hand of a Washington, wield ed for juslico and liberty, it is a sword only, and has not a character. Wheth i it be an instrument for good or etil, depends upon the character of him who holds the hilt, and not upon the sword itself. So it is with money. It is an agent; ft fa. r gigantic motive power that thunders around the world. If the Devil stands engineer, it thun den on. freighted with untold mis obiuf, scattering oppression, and cru elty, and wrong. But if it is guided by the spirit of lovo and truth, it is like the sun shedding light and sum mer Mpon the world. It is at an an,el of roorey and love, when directed by lh spirit of Chi ist. It I ihe duly of the pulpit, then, to direot and instruct in th u-e of wealth, "nd not preach against It tt has grown to be a great power in the church, and it must bo preached ta ¬ He doubted whether, in this city, an equal amount of wealth could be found among any other equal number of men as among our church mem bers. Mammon has joined the church but he is not concerted; and it is the duty of the pulpit to urge upon the church the true uses of wealth. In primitive days, men's usefulness to the church waa measured by their character and their piety. Now, un fortunately, piety haa become fashion able and wo are more accustomed to measure their usefulness by the a mount of their money. Suppose, aaid he, that twenty poor but very pious and good men, were to come here, and should apply to our examining committee, lor adraisiion to thia church. The committee would tell it Lo our member t, and they would say, "Oh, well; that is very well; we are glad of it" Suppose that they were to hear that twenty men, worth half a million each had been to all the congregations in lha city, and had concluded to join this one. "Oh," (said the speaker, putting his thumbs behind his vest, and asauming a moat pompous attitude,) "Oh, we are de lighted to hear il 1 " We should all examine ourselves lo see if we have not more or less of this spirit. If a minisiter receives a call from an ob scure village, and on from a great city, is he not very likely, perhaps unconscijuily, to think he can do more good wherw the large church and sal ary are located ? A legitimate uao of money ii to adorn and atrengthen the family. The household should be built deep and broad and strong. He cared not how costly and beautiful and conven ient a man makes his home.

It should not be a nice, cost ly palacs, prostituted to laahion and vauity where trained monkeys perform their various tricks, and where mean selfishness and narrow ambition smile from shallow hearts. It should be a sanctuary of love, and not of idienoss and folly.

It is proper however to say that it is often remarked by those who have been here for aorae time that there has been lets this season than usual. It has rained but once since the first of December, and then only a gentle shower for h. few hours about the 20th of Feb, and until within the last few da) s our bo its have nol been soiled with mud, since the beginning of wm ter. As to water, it is true you do not often find the pur olar, cold water gushing np just where you want to build your house, or when you want to water your slock, and in this respect it is not singular. In almost every placo a good supply of water oan be bail by digging a few feet, and lbe cases are few where there is much dif ficulty in procuring water lor stock. . Although Indiana is some 20 or 26 years older than lows, I do not be. lieve that the former it any in advance oi the latter socially, morally, telig lously. or intellectually: while there it vidsjntly in the mass of the people here more energy and enterprise.
