Too GOOd.-Some time since, a slab
sided mortal from Down East who look
ed as if he had been passed through Shin
gle mill, called at a respectable wholesale
establishment in this city, and inqUited,
Is this Burlap, Jean, & Cost Yes,
SIR Well, reckon owe you small
bill.' What name, Sir9' Zsrubbabcl
ShoOks.' After overhauling the ledger,
Zerubbabel was assured that il could not
| be, as his name was not on the book. A
darncd pretty way you keep 'em, then! 1
guess If man owed mo matter of three
hundred dollars could tell ihe date with
out looking. Howsoessr, don't wantio
cheat you know this Is the place. Jest
| give me resate on account for two hum
dred aud twenty-five doMars and fifteen
cents Never mind the cents, Mr.. Shocks
here's your receipt for the dollars. -
Mighty careless you be Of small matters;
one hundred cents makes a dollar, where
come from. Fifteen cents amt TO be sneez-
ed at. Good morning.
Messrs. Burlap, Jean g. Go. were cleo
lrified ut the miraculous honesty Of the
Down Easter, and would not LEI him 60 SO
readily. They insisted upon his purchas-
ing bill OF goods, but Zefnbbabel was We
ry unwilling. : II was darned hard to pay
for 'em,' he said he'd been all winter rai-
sing that But, to their great qualification,
they succeeded in securing SO good ., GUS
toner, by selling him bill Of a thousand
dollars at six months.
When the time of payment arrived, and
a notice of the demand was forwarded TO
/ the address Of the honest Down Easter, tho
letter remained weeks unanswered. The
account was sent 10 limb Of the law resi-
dent in the town from which tho stranger
hailed; and the next mail brought Barlap.
Jean s. Co. the agreeable intelligence that
no such man as Zerubbabel Shocks ever
lived there.-BossOa GGlaxy.
Love.-How bright and beautiful is love
WI It's UOUt VI purity OhusV~VhCS-atV
mysteriously does il etherializc every feel
/ ing, and concentrate every wild and be-
K wildering impulse Of the heart. Love, hO-
lIy and mysterious love-lt y the garland
spring Of life The dream Of the heart
The impassioned poetry Of nature; It's song
is heard in the rude and unvisited solitude
Of the far forest, and the shroDged haHnss
Of busy life--It embellishes with flames
the unpretending cot Of the peasant, and
the glorious palace Of the nonarch-faslI-
es lis holy CLEAN Of light apon tho mute
page of the solitary student and upon tho
measured track Of the lonely wanderer---
hovers about the imperiled bar Of the storm
beaten mariner---en feebles the darby BEN
ding wing Of the muttering tempest, and
imparts additional splendor to the beacOp
that burns ON the far distant Shore
Love il is the mystic and unseen spell,
that harmonizes and sooths unbidden' the
wild and rugged tendencies Of human ma
ture--that fingers about the sanctity Of the
human heart-the worshipped deity Of the
penetralia, and unites in fir@er union tho
affection Of social and religious society
, gathers yerdant freshness around the guar
ded cradle Of helpless infancy, and steals
in moonlight darkness upon the heart Of
despairing age--it bushes into reposing
calmnsss tho chafed and bruised, aud the
!, unresisting spirit Of sorrow, and bears It
from the existing and anticipated evils Of
life, 10 its own bright and sheltering bow
or Of representation into generous
devotion the exacting desires ef ynlgarin-
terest and sordid avarice, and nelis into o
fearful compassion the ice Of insensibility.
| The image which holy and undecaying
love has once porlTaitured on the deep
shrine OF the heart, will not vanish like the
iineamcnls which childhood's finger in idle
moments may have traced upon the sand
that image viii remain, unbroken aud IN
marked--it will barn on undeiacsd in its
beauty, and undiminished in it's lustre, and
the quick rush Of the winds, and the war
ring tempest Of the clouds-and when the
wavering star Of fate seems declining,'
tho bowed and bewilderod spirit. Ike the
trembling dove Of the patriarchs. will meet
its home and its refuge, ia that hallowed
fame where love presides as high priestess
OF its sanctuary. and consecrates to unben-
ding truth, the offered vows OTHER yotaties.
