The Stump tailed Cop--A JERsEY An
ECDorE.--.A good many years ago man
stole COW from Morristown, N. ]. and
drove her to Philadelphia for sale. She
was common COW enough, except that
she had lost all her tail but about ak inch
es. The thief, fearing that by the short
ness Of her tail he might be trced, had
procured in some way, probably from q
slaughterhousc, another cows tail, which
he fastened so ingeniousy to the short tail
that il was not to be known that 1t had not
regularly grown there.
As soon as the Jcrseyman missed his
COW, he set off for Philadelphia, thinking
she wonld probably be carried there for
sale, and it happened that when he came
to the ferry he got into the same boat that
was carrying ovor his COW, and the fellow
who stole her. As it was natural that he
should have his thoughts very much upon
cows. he soon began to look at this one
with very great attention. She was, in
deed, uery much like his COW, he thought
Her marks agreed wonderfully, and she
had exactly the same expression Of face, but
then the appearance other tail was so very
diiferent--It must be supposed that the new
owner Of the COW felt rather uncomfortable
during this examination, for he soon saw
that This was the person whose property he
has stolen, and he was very uneasy lest he
should take hold Of the tail, which he look
ed nj so continually. Upon the whole he
thought it best to divert his attention in
SOM way. it possible, and therefore steps
Up him and says " "neighbor that is a
fua COW Of mine, wont you buy her you

was exactly like this one, only that she had
no tail to speak Of and II this one had not
such u long tail I'd swear it was my cow"
Every body now began TO look at the

THE FATAL PROMISE.

"Yes, we must part--'tis heavens decree
But keep my true love token,
The ring Of gold gave to thee;
NV vow shall ne'er be broken;
pledged thee then this youthful heart,
And said, though fate shall scver,
And friends deny, and hope depart,
My heart was thine forever,
Nay, plead not love,--it must be so;
My mother, should wed thee,
She doomd me to a life Of woe,
And lis for that I've fed thee
NY mpthcr--O see her now,
Ter cold check 8 clayey whiteposs;
Deaths dew upon her marble brow,
In her eye his CLASSY brightness;
And then the dying smile that wreathed
Her rigid, sunken features,
When | the fatal promise breathcd -
%, God why must thy creatures
BE tortured thus but plead not, love,
The promise hath been given,
AIy mother bore my faith above,
For she was ripe for heaven.
And fondly did she cherish me,
And was reared 80 kindly,
INDUCED in all-save love for thee.

As deem her cruelty inclined,
That thus apart she tore US

a storm Of grief was DER us.
Then faro thee WE'LL bow mo down,
And trust the grace Of heaven,
Perchance benoath this angry frown,

Bot when life's ties re broken
Wen meet, my love, VIC II meet above -
Farewell-but keep my token"
A.dcep and narrow grave they've made,

There she who Oft had wept and prayed,
Slaeps on death $ dreamless pillow;
And thero roclined that grave beside,
The youth displayed her token

Tbe First Zan0,

The following beautiful lines arc extracted
from tIo Literary Souvenir.
How welcome from the dizzy mast
The watchful seaman's stand
Sosnds DER tho bilow, and the blast
The joyful cry of Gland !"
Which yelled within misty shroud,
Lifts DER the wave its peak Of cloud.
All! who but he whose weary eve
Hath long been doomed to dwell
Upon the wastes Of sea and sky,
The rapturcd throb can tell,
The boundoss bursts of Joy that fills
The heart that halls earth distant hills
At once upon tho gazo they come,
With mingling sighs and tears
With beauteous visions of our home,
And days of other years
Reflected from the past, that throw
Around their heads sun set glow.
And far away in fancy's dream,
Beyond the waste of foods
The wave worn spirit hath gleam
OF fsunny Wales and wcols;
A genl!o whisper of the rees--
A murmur Of the forest breeze;
A dynr echo Of the grove,
That To the heart doth bring
Sweet memories Of the walks oflovc,
In liie's unclouded spring;
And dear the woodlands authom be,
Far warblod o'er the moaning sea.
And soon upon the lonely shore
Our bosom. friends we strain
They welcome US from oceans roar
70 native shores again
To woman's love and smiling home,
From which our lot has been to roam.

"That would" says the other, who be-
gan to be very much confused at the per.
feet resemblance to his COW, except n this
one particular, when the thief, with sud
den cut of his knife took ofthe tail, just a.
bont an inch above the splicing, and throw.
ing it overheard, bloody as it was, turned
to the other and said, now swear its your
COW "-The bewiderment ofthe poor man
was now complete, but as he had seen
the tail cut off, and saw the blood trickling
from it, he could of course, lay no claim to
the animal from the shortness Of her tail {:
indeed, here was proof positively that this
was not his COW, so the thief going over
with him, sold the COW without any further
fear of detection.
