I hare seen promising family spring op from a par cnt trunk, stretch abroad its populous Xmba like a flowing tree covered - with green and healthy foliage. I hare seen the unnatural decay beginning upon the yet tender leaves and guawing like a worm bt an onopen bud, while they dropped off, ne by one, and the scathed shaft stood alone till the wind and rain of many a sor row laid that, too, in the dust. On one of these holy days, when the patriarch, rich in the virtue as in years gathered about him the great and the little ones of his lock his sons with their sons and his daughters and their daughters I, too pledged them in the social wine cup and rejoiced with them around the hospitable hearth, and expatiated with delight upon the, eventful future;'' while the good' old man, warmed in the genial glow of youth fol enthusiasm, wiped the tear ot joy from the glistening eye.' He was happy. I met with them again when the rolling jear brought the festive season round. Eat they were not all there. The kind Id 'man signed wheu his suffused eye dwelt upon the then unoccupied seat. But Joy yet came to his relief, and he was hap py.

I liked the pesky critter well enough, and should have been glad to see him cum to spend the day, fetchin' sister to see me and my wife, if he had'nt Mowed his ' tongue to run on so 'bout niggers and slavery, and the equality of races, and the duty of overthrowing the constitution of the Uaited States, and a lot of other things, some of which made me mad, and the best part of 'em right sick. I puzzled my brains a good deal to think how . I could make him shut up his noisy head 'bout abolitionism. 'Well, one time, when brother-in law came over to stay, an idea struck me. I hired a nigger to help me at haying time. lie was the biggest, strongest, greasiest nigger you ever seed, lilac k i he was blacker than a stack of cats, and just as shiny as a new beaver hat. I spoke to him. Jack,' says I, 'when you hear the breakfast beil ring, don't say a word, but come right in the parlor, and set down among the folks and eat your breakfast.' The nigger's eyes stuck out of his head about a feet. "You're joking, massa,' says he. "Jokin,' scz I, 'I'm 6ober as a deacon.' "But sez he, 'I shan't have time to wash myself and change my shirt.' . "So much the better,' sez I. 'Wall, breakfast come and so did Jack, and he set down 'long iide my brother-in-law, lie staid, but he didn't say a word. There was'nt no mistake about it. Shut your eyes and you'd know 1t Tor he was loud, I tell you. There was a fust rate chance to talk abolitionism, but brother-in law nefer opened his head. "Jack, sez I, 'you be on hand at dinner time;', and he was. He had been working in the meadow all forenoon it was as hot as hickory and bilin' pitch and but I leave the reBt to your imagina tion. . , ; 'Well, in the afternoon . brother-in-law come up to me. madder than a short-tailed bull in hornet time. , "Moses,' said he, 'I want to speak to . ."Sing it ootsezl. "X have but a few words to say,' sez he, 'but if tbat 'ere confounded nigger comes to the table again while I'm stoppin' here I'll clear out.' 'Jack ate his supper- that night in the kitchen, but from that day to this I cev er heard my brother-in-law open his head about abolitionism. When the fugitive slave bill was passed, . I thought he'd let out some; but be didn't for he know'd that Jack was still working on the farm.' Tho Baby is Dead. ... A , long, black scarf, trimmmed . with broad, white ribbon, hangs upon the door knob... A death-like stillness pervades the entire mansion; all within moving with the softest tread, and speaking in the soft est whispers, as , if fearful of disturbing the repose of some loved one. Those pas sing along the street observe the sombre scarf, and . the instant change , in their countenance betrays the thought, "the baby is dead!: ' Yes the baby is dead, and not only those who have been familiar with its sparkling eyes, but the stranger, who received the intelligence softly from the scarf on the door, feels that a home has been robbed of a precious idol. How deep was the love that clustered around the innocent babe, and oh! how terrible is the blow death inflicts. The baby is dead! It uo longer clings in innocent love to its mother's bosom, or Stirs with fondest joy the father's heart Its prattling' has ceased forever, ' and. its once laughing eyes are closed in an eter nal sleep. But even in death it seems to have lost none of its sweetness. It lies so calm in its silken-cushioned coffin, pre pared with so much care; it has been arrayed in its costliest garments, its pure brow trimmed with a fragrant wreath. and flowers have been scattered over its lovely form: As it is thus arrayed,. the baby seems only to be sleeping; but alas, it is that sleeping which hath no waking. The baby is dead! Around it are gath ered many whose sympathies it has arous ed, and ! whose love1 ; it has excited.';; .The mmisterV, leans over the cold form, and touched with the sight, tears trickle down his cheek, while he exclaims' "Thus saith the Lord, "Suffer little children tq come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such ms the kingdom, of Heaven." ' The baby is dead! It is about to be t forever from the sight of those who loved it as no others could. - Oh! how the mother clings to the lifeless form; and as she imprints the last fervent, kiss upon its cold cheek, her very heart strings Beem to break! . And the father, though he has manfully braved toils, cares and dangers, now lccls unmanned, ana weeps Use a child, as he bends over the corpse of his lost one. ; Sympathy, at other times con soling, is now of no avail, and the hearts of both suffer the deepest anguish i.

Many smart things itre said under, the guise of awkward sentences and bad spcl ling. ' Too bashful to "pop the question" in the usual way, Major Jones persuades his sweetheart to put up a stocking, which will hold a couple of bushels, on the nierut wneu oauta uiaus pays his visits. receiving her promise to keep forever what he gave her. She complies by hanging p the meal-bag Into this the gallant and lovelorn Major contrived to introduce himself at the 'witching hour of night ' Bat we will let Major Jone3 speak for him self: I sot up till midnight, and when they was all goue to bed, I went softly into the back gate, and went up to the porch, and thar, shore enuff, was a great big meal- bag hanging to the jice. It was mon strous unhandy to git to it, but 1 was tarmined not to back out. So I sot some chairs on top of a bench and got hold of the rope and let myself don into the bag; but jest then the bag swung agiu the chairs and down they went with a terrible racket But nobody didn't wake up but old Mrs Stillinses great biff cur dog, and here he come rippin and tarin through the yard ike rath, and round and round he went tryin to find what was the matter. I sot down in the bag and didn't breathe lond- er nor a kitteu, for fear he'd find me out, und . after awhile he ciuit barkin. The wind begun to blow bominable cold, and the old bag kept tnrnin round anti swingin so it made me sea-sick as the mischief. was fraid to move for fear the rope would : break and let me fall, and there I sot with my teeth rattlin like I had a ap;cr. It seemed like it never would come daylight, and I really do believe if I didn't love Miss Mary so powerful I would froze to deth; for.my heart was the only spot that felt warm, and it didn't beat more'n two lic&s a minit, only : when I thought how she would be s'prized in the moruin, and then it went in a canter. Bimeby the cussed Old dog come up 0U the porch and begun to smell about the base, and then he horl-orl litafco tbbf troo cm. thing. "Cowl wowl wowl" sez he. 'Git out!' sez I, very low, for fear they would hear me. "Bowl wowl wowl" sez he. 'Begone, you bominable fool!" sez I, and I felt all over in spots, for I spected evcy minit he'd nip me. and what made it worse didn't know where bouts he'd take bold. Bowl wow! wow!" Then I tried coaxin "Come hero, good feller," sez I, and whistled a little to him. out it was nt no use. Thar he stood and kept up his eter nal whiniu and barkin all night. I could n't tell when daylight was breakin, only by the chickens crowin, and I was mon strous glad to hear 'em, for if I'd had to stay lhar one hour more, I don't belive rd ever got out of that bag alivel' They got him out in the morning cover ed with meal and almost frozen. But Miss Mary does not refuse his present.- And be says, "I tell you what, it was worth hangin' in a meal bag from one Christmas to another to feel as happy as have eversiuce." . Caught in his own Trap. Once, two ministers of the Gospel wer conversing on extemporaneous preaching. "Well," said the old divine, waxing warm, "you are ruining yourself by writ ing vour sermons and reading them off. Your congregation cannot become inte ested in your preaching: ana it you were called upon to preach unexpectedlv, un less you could get hold of ac old sermon, you would be completely confused." The young divine used all his eloquence, but in vain, to convince the old gentlemau that the written sermon expressed his own thoughts and feeling, and, if called upon, he could preach extemporaneausly. "As we are of the same faith," said the young minister, "suppose you try me next Sabbath morning. On ascending the pu pit J6u can hand me a text from any part of the Bible, and I will convince you that I can preach without having looked at the text before I stand up. Likewise, I must be allowed the same priviledge with y6u, and see who will make the best of it." v The following Sabbath, on mounting the pulpit, his senior brother handed him a Blip of paper, on which was written: '.'And the ass opened his mouth and spake;" from which he preached a glori ous sermon, chaining the attention of his delighted hearers and charming his old fiend with his eloquence. InTthe- afternoon, the young brother, who was sitting below the pulpit, handed his slip. 11 After rising and opening the Bible, the old mac lookeii ' sadly 'around "Am I not thine ass?" . Pausing a few minutes, he ran his fingers through bis hair, straig htehed his collar, blew '-his nose like the last trumpet, and read aloud "Am I not thine ass?!' Another pause in which a deadly silence reigned.: After reading a third time "Am I not thine ass?" he looked over the' pulpit at his friend, and in a . doleful voice, Baid---"i think I am, b other." ; Moral ChAkaoteii. There is nothing which adds so much to the beauty and power of man, aa moral character. ' It dignifies him In every station, exalts him in every period of life. Such a character is to be admired more than any anything else on earth. No servile tool, no crouch ing sycophant, no treacherouft-honor Bek er beor Buch a character. '..if he pure joys of righteousne6H never spring up in such a person. If young men but knew how much a good character would dignify and exhalt them, how glorious it would make their nrospects in this life, never should we find them yielding to the groveling and base born propensities of human na ture.
