A TRUE STORY.

The following story of Love and Pru- dence,' which we accidentally met with as revived in late Hagerstown paper, is an OCT true tale.' It first appeared, some time since, in the New York (Pa.) Record CT, and the fact which il records, occurred in neighboring county, beyond the Sus- quehanna. The way this beautiful and sprightly heiress treated her fortune hunt ing lover, should be a caution to the whole order.
 Love and Prudcnce.-A young gentle- man who was desirous of entering the holy state of matrimony, and who had turned his attention to the 'gilded' beauties of the day-selected at length, for his particular addresses, young lady who was reported rich, as we'll in the matter of lucre' as in mental and personal accomplishments He felt the charm of his fair one stealing over his senses witching spell' upon his faculties. But he wanted to make assu- rance doubly sure-and to leave no loop whereon to hang a doubt touching the worldiy possessions of his beloved. Fame, it is true had spoken her wealthy, but Fame had cruel fashion of cxaggera- ting in these matters. In word, if the truth must be told, our lover was not so madly' in love, bu, he was able to pre- serve some mcthod' in it. And before the glorious passion had reached its crisis, he had singular prudence 10 examine the recOrds-and to obtain an exact knowledge ofthe wealth of his charmer! How happy was he to find that her estate was clear and for once even more valuable than rumor had proclaimed it.
 Flying, then, on the wings oflove to the dwelling of his fair one-in good set phrase he declared his affection for her-made a tender ofhis heart and hand-and besough, her to smile upon his passion, and make him happy. But the Aat,ering tsle' of hope was not to be realized. The star of our lovers happy fortune, had alas not vet cast it's silver above the horizon! By some means, it happened the young lady had been apprized of the extent of her lov- er's curiosity-and, in the midst of his des- cant upon flames, and darts, and Cupid she very composedly threw from her reti- cuIe small piece of money, and approach ing him made lhis reply-' Although l may prof, by your very favorable sentiment to- wards me, still I cannot think ofyour being loser on my account. As you have been at the expense of 'search,' must insist upon being allowed to replace the amount so cxpended.' So saying, she put all eight penny piece in her lovers hand, and he went his way.

A GOOD. DAUGHTER.
BY J. c. PALPREY


 A good daughter !-,here are other min istries of love more conspicuous than hers, but none in which gentler. lovelier spirit dwells, and none to which the hearts warm requtals more joyfully respond. There is no such thing as comparative estimate of a parents affection for one or another child. There is little which he needs to covet, to whom the treasure of d good child has been given. But a sons occupations and pleas ures carry him more abroad, and he lives more among temptations, which hardly per- init tl,e affection, ,Ilat is following him per haps over half lhe globe, to be wholly un- mingled with anxiety, till the time when he comes to relinquish the shelter "f his faith CTS roof for one of his own; while a.good daughter is the steady light of her parent house. Her idea is indissolubly connected with that of his happy frcside. She is his morning sunlight and his evening star.- The grace and vivacity, and tenderness of her sex, have their place in the mighty sway which she holds over his spirit. The les sons of recorded wisdom which he reads with her cyes, come to his mind with a new charm as they blend with the beloved mel ody ofher voice. He scarcely knows wea-

 The Gineral got as hornety as all nature at this; and said he, Major, I wish now you was only Calhoun, or Riddle, or Clay, or M'Duffie, or Don Pedro, or Black Hawk, or any one but Major Downing for I feel as if should like to give some one a thrashing.' Why says I, Gineral you ain't mad nor no,hin, be you? for am too,' says l.; 'and every time l look at the 'counts,' says l, ,'I feel as if l would like to git hold ofsome one, and thrash 'em too, o,'-and so we stomped about a spell, cussin aud dscussin most things till we got cool again-but it was considerable of storm I tell you.

THE OLD MANS FUNERAL.

saw an aged man upon his bier;
 His hair was thin and white, and on his brow record of the cares of many year; Cares, that were ended and forgotten now And there was sadness round, and faces bowed, And womans tears fell fast, & children walled aloud. Then rose another hoary man, and said,
 In falterng accents, to that weeping traln Why mourn ye that our aged friend is dead?
 Ye are not sad to see the gathered grain, Nor when their mellow fruit the orchards cast, Nor when the yellow woods shake down me npeneo
 mast.
 Ye sigh not when the sun, his course fulfilled,
 His glorious course, rejoicing earth and sky, Tn the soft evening, when the winds are stilled,
 Sinks where his islands ot rereshment lie, And leaves the smiles of his departure, spread Der the warm-colored heaven and ruddy mountain
 head.
 Why weep ye then for him, who, having run
 The bound of mans appointed years, at last, Lifes blessings all enjoyed, life's labors done, Serenely to his final rest has pass'd; While the soft memory of his virtues, yet Lngers like twilight hues, when the bright sun is set His youth was innocent; his rper age
 Marked with some act Ot goodness every day; And watched by eyes that loved him, calm and sage,
 Faded his late declining years away. Cheerful he gave his being up, and went To share the holy rest that waits life we'll spent That life was happy; every day he gave For sick fancy made him not her slave,.
 To mock him with her phantom m!series. No chronic tortures racked his aged limb, :. For luxury and sloth had nourished none for him. And am glad, that he has lived thus long, Nor deem, that kindly nature did him wrong'
 Softly to dsengage the vital cord. =, When his weak hand grew pafsied, and hls eye Dark with the msts of age, it was his time to die.

The difference between the expense of insuring in this com- pany and in ordinary insurance companies is now too we'll understood to need any ex. planation.

On the other hand, if the bricks are laid dry, they absorb all the moisture from the mortar, and leave it too dry to harden.
