The Devil and Tom Walker.
A STORY OF THE LAST CENTURY.
BY WASHINGTON IRVING.
As Tom waxed old, however, he grew thought
fbl. Having secured the good things of this
world, he began to feel anxious about those ot
the next. He thought with regret on the bar
gain he had made with his black friend, and
puts his wits to work to cheat him out of his
conditions. He became, therefore, all of a sud
den, a violent church goer. He prayed loudly
and strenuously, as if heaven were to be car
ried by force of lungs. Indeed, one might al
ways tell when he had sinned most during the
week by the clamor of his Sunday devotion!
The quiet Christians who have been modestly
and steadily travelling Zionward, were struck
with self-reproach at seeing themselves so sud
denly outstripped in their career by this new
made convert Tom was as rigid in religion
as in money matters; he was a stern supervisor
and censurer of his neighbors, and seemed to
think every sin entered up to their account be
came a credit on his page. He even talked of
the expediency of reviving the persecution of
the Quakers and the Anabaptists. In a word,
Tom's zeal bccame as his riches.
Still, in spite of his strenuous attention to
forms, Tom nad a lurking dread that the devil
after all would have his due. That he might
not be taken unawares, therefore, it is said he
always carried a small bible in his pocket. He
also had a great folio bible in his counting
house desk, and would frequently be found
reading when peophj called on business; on j
such occasions ne would lay his green specta
cles on the book, to mark the place, while he
turned around to drive some usurious bargain.
Some say Tom grew a little crack-brained in
his older days, and that, fancying his end ap
proaching, he had his horse new shod, saddled,
and bridled, and buried with his feet upper
most : because that, at the last day the world
would be turned upside down, in which case he
would find his horse ready for mounting, and
he was determined at the worst to give his old
friend a run for it. This, however, is probably
a mere old wife's fable. If he really did not
take precaution, it was totally superfluous?at
least, so says the authentic old legend, which
closes his story in the following manner:
One hot afternoon in the dog days, just as a
terrible black thunder gnst came up, Tom sat
in his counting-house in his white linen cap and
India silk morning gown. He was on the point
of foreclosing a mortgage, by which he would
complete the ruin of an unhappy speculator for
whom he had professed the greatest friendship.
The poor land-jobber begged him to grant a
few months indulgence. Tom had grown testy
and irritated, and refused another day.
" My family will be ruined and brought upon
the parish," said the land-jobber.
"Charity begins at home," replied Tom; "I
must take care of myself these hard times." ^
" You have made so much money out of me,"
ri??$Z2amm Wto piety, "ft?
'devil take me,'' aatd ha, "if I have made a
I faI^wt.8then there were three loud knocks at
'the street door. He stepped out to see who
was there. A black man was holding a black
horse, which neighed and stamped with impa
u Tom, you are come for," said the black fel
low gruffly. Tom shrunk back, but too late.
He had left his little Bible at the bottom of his
coat-pocket, and his big Bible on the desk bu
ried under the mortgage he was about to fore
close : never was a sinner token more unawares.
The black man whisked him like a child astride
the horse, and away he galloped in the midst of.
a thunder-storm. The clerks stuck their pens
behind their ears and stared after him from the
windows. Away went Tom Walker, dashing
down the streets, his white cap bobbing up and
down, his morning gown fluttering in the wind,
and his steed striking fire ont of the pavements
at every bound. When the clerks turned to
to look the black man he had disappeared.
Tom Walker never returned to foreclose the
mortgage. A countryman who lived near the
swamp reported that, in the height of the thun
der gust, he had heard a great clattering of hooft
and howling along the road, and that when he
ran to the window he just caught sight of a fig
ure such as I have described, on a horse that
galloped like mad across the fields, over the
hills, and down into the black hemlock swamps
towards the old Indian fort, and that shortly
after a thunderbolt fell in that direction, which
seemed to set the whole forest in a blaze.
The good people of Boston shook their heads
and shrugged their shoulders. They had been
ao accustomed to witches, and goblins, and
tricks of the devil in all kinds of shapes, from
the first settlement of the colony, that they
were not so much horror-struck as might have
been expected. Trustees were appointed to
take charge of Tom's effects. There was no
thing, however, to administer upon. On search
ing his coffers all his bonds and mortgages
were found reduced to cinders. In place of
gold and silver, his iron chest was filled with
Ships and shavings; two skeletons lay in his
stable instead of his half-starved horses, and
the very next day his great house took fire and
was burned to the ground. _
Such was the end of Tom Walker and his ill
gotten wealth. Let all griping money brokers
W the story well to heart. The truth ? not to
be doubted. The verv hole under the oak
trees, from whence he dug Kidd's money, is to
be seen to this day, and the neighboring swamp
and the old Indian fort is often haunted in
stormv nights by a figure on horseback, in a
mourning gown and white cap, which is doubt
less the troubled spirit of the usurer. In fact,
the story lias resolved itself into a proverb, and
i? the origin of the popular saying prevalent
throughout New England of " the Devil and
Tom Walker."
A Wandering Child.?A young girl of
about ten years came to this city a few days
ago on the Cincinnati cars, connected with
whom were some rather singular circumstances.
She stopped at one of the largest hotels,
and her toriorn and unhappy appearance im
mediately excited the sympathy of those who
saw her. They questioned her, and found that
she was traveling alone, that she had come,
unaccompanied and uncared for, save by
strangers, from a far distant southern city, and
that she was destined to a town far from this
place. She was poorly dressed, but had money.
She seemed to have lieen ill-treated at her for
mer home, which she had deserted now, and
desired to reach her destination because she
believed she had relatives living there. Her
face was pale and sad, and some great grief
seemed to be troubling her heart. She was
kindly assisted on her way by those whose sym
pathy and her story had excited; hut the IttUe
thing scarcely knew where she was going.
May she reach her journey's end in safety.

joke to Jem is both food and raiment; and
whenever and wherever their is an opening for
fun, he has it.
Jem waa recently in a drag Btore, when a
youth, apparently fresh from the ''mountains,"
entered the store, and at once accosted Jem,
stating that he was in search of a job.
" What kind of a job," inquired the wag.
" Oh a most anythin'?I want to get a kind
of a ginteel job, I'm tired o' farmin', and kin
turr\ my hand to most anythin'."
"Well, we want a man?a good, strong,
healthy man?as sample clerk."
" What's the wares?"
" Wages are good ; we pay $1,000 to a man
in that situation."
" What's a feller have to do ?"
" Oh, merely to test medicines; that's all. It
requires a stoat man, one of good constitution,
ana after he gets used to it, he doesn't mind it.
You see, we are very particular about the
quantity of medicines, ana before we sell any
we test every parcel. Yon would be required
to take?say six or seven ounces of castor oil
some days, with a few doses of rhubarb, aloes,
croton oil, and similar preparations. Some
days you would not be required to take any
thing ; but, as a general thing, you can count
upon them?say, from six to ten doses daily.
As to the ieorlc, that does not amount to much
?the testing department would be the princi
pal labor required of you ; and as I said before,
it requires a person of very healthy organiza
tion to endure it; but you look hearty and I
guess you would suit us. That young man
(pointing to a verv pale-faced, slim looking
youth who happened to be present) has filled
the post for the past two weeks, and he is hardly
stout enough to stand it. We should like to
have you take right hold if you are ready, and
if you sav so, we 11 begin today; here's a new
barrel of castor oil just come in; I'll go and
draw an ounce
. (Here verdant, who had been gazing intently
upon the slim youth, interrupted him with?)
" N-no, no, I g-u-ess not?not to-day. any
how. I'll go down and see my aunt, ana if I
conclude to come, 111 come up to-morrow, an'
let you know."
As he did not return, it iB to be supposed he
considered the work too hard.?Clinton Con
rant
In a Fix.
There was some rich scenes in the circuit
court room, in the effort of the marshal to get
a jury for the Martha Washington case. Yea
terday afternoon one of the deputies handed
over a verv honest laborer, whose name was
announced as James L. Farrau, to the court.
Farran wanted to be off, and told the court so.
When asked the reason, he said he had not
been in the court room five minutes, that he
came in just to see Judge McLean, he didn't
think of being caught up in this way?was a
carpenter in this city, and would rather be ex
cused from serving on the jury. The Judge
told him to stay.
Poor fellow-?he k not die first man that has
fcllen a victim to his curiosity. He wanted a
chanoc to see Judge McLean, and now he will
probably enjoy that very -pleasant sight for at
least four weeks.

erably frightened. He wanted to be let off,
as he was on a journey from Pickaway to Mi
ami county to look after some property, and he
could'nt possibly stop. The judge directed the
marshal to try and find somebody who was not
on a journey, and told the traveler he was ex
cused. Ho made 2.40 time out of the court
house, and did not deep or eat till he was be
yond the walls of the city.
The way some of our merchants and business
men dodge and hide is an example worthy of
young quails. But some of them are caught,
and look very much as if they had got their
foot in a scrape. Poor fellows?we pity them.

J9* Punch takes both sides about the war
question. Thus he rings of '"The Old Flag"?
One voice from sea to sea,
One thought from shore to shore?
"Peace if without disgrace still peace may be,
War, if we must have war!"
Cura'd be the haad that draweth brand,
While swords with honor can be spared:
May the hand rot. which draweth not,
When honor bids the sword be spared.
Peace now for thirty year*
With plenty, hand ia hand,
One olive-crowned, one crowned with harvest ears,
Have sat within our land,
Twin-sisters dear! To keep them here
What price would England grudge to pay f
One price alone! Were Honor gone,
How long would Peace and Plenty stay ?
Bring out Old England's flag,
Storm-rent from' Waterloo!
Fling forth to the four winds the glorious rag,
And bear it England through,
Through vale, o'er hill, by forge and mill.
Pant upland village, coastward town,
Up Scottish strath, o'er Irish rath,
Across Welsh hill and English down.
Salute it. young and old
With God-speed on its way!
As it ne'er waved but o'er the free and bold
Pray Heaven it never may.
Still let its course to Fraud and Force
Strike terror from the air;
Still let its sight to down-trod right
Bring hope upon despair.
But on the other haad, he sings, under "The
Trumpet of Battle"?
THE TRUMPET OF BATTLE.
When the trumpet's call to arms shall in Turkey's
Iuarrel sound,
e field of Europe's war shaH John Bull be
backward found?
No, by George! to the fray like a wur-steed let him
bound,
Prepared to fail or conquer, with expensive lau
rels crowned.
Our heroes like water their blood abroad shall
pour;
Our money shall also be scattered as of yore:
We have done it oftentimes, and we'll do it yet
once more,
Even though we get worse off than we ever got
before.
Should the nation draw the sword, it will be a
grand affair,
With "Now or Never Liberty!" for a cry to rend
lhe air;
Sore loss, whichever way it goes, ourselves will
have to bear,
But that we've made our uunda up to, and there
fore need not care.
Tis hard in others' quarrels to l?e forced to inter
But point me out the craven base that hesitation
And III punch his wretched head snd wring hia
dn.?pi<-sble nose,
Forward! no matter how we swell the debt the
??tion owes.
Let the sword leap from the scabbard while the
? frantic bugles bray,
Draw. England, draw the purse as well that must

Charge! and in charging never think how much"
youll have to pay;
To the brave there will be time to talk ot' that
