THE BATTLE OF BLENHEIM.

Ii was summer evening,
Old kasper's work was done {;
And he before his cottage door
Was sitting in the sun
And by him sported on the green
His little grandchild Wilhelnine.
She saw her brother Peterkin
Roll something large and round,
That he beside the rivulet
In playing there had found
He came to ask what he had found,
That was so large, and smooth, and round
Old Kasper took it from the boy,
Who stood expectant by +;
And then the old man shook his head,
And with natural sigh,
IT'S some poor fellow s skull, said he,
Who fell in the great victory.

There's many here about,
And often when go to plough
The ploughshare turns them out
For many thousand men, said he,
Were slain in that great victory.

THE MAN THAT KILLED HIS NEIGH

.f- BY L. MARIA CHILD. .s4
Iris curious to observe how a mans spir-
itual state reflects itsclfin the people and an
finals around him; nay, in the very garments,
trees ant stones.
.Reubsn Black was an infestation in the
usighborhOod where he resided. The very
sigh, ef,him produced effects similar 10 the
tHindoo magical tune, called Raug, which is
said to bring on clouds, storms and earth
.quakes. His wife seemed lean, sharp aud
uncomfortable. The heads Of his boys had
q bris,iiag aspect, as if each individual hair
stood on end with perpetual fear. The COWS
;poksd out their horns horizontally, as soon
as he opened the barn-yard gate. The dog
dropped his tail between his legs, and eyed
him sskance, 10 see what humor he was
in. THE cat looked wild and scraggy,
and hadlbesn known 10 rush straight up the
chimney when he moved toward her. Fan
ny Ksmble's expressive description of the
Pennsylvania stage-horses was exactly suit
ed 10 Reuben's poor old nag. "His hide re-
sembled an old hair.Wunk." Continual whip
ping and kicking had made him such stole,
that no amount of blows could quicken his
pace, and no chirrupng could change the
detected dropping Of his head. All his nat
ural language said, as plain as horse could
say it,that lie was most unhappy beast. Even
the trees on Reuben's premises had knarl-
ed and knotted appearance. The bark wept
little siekly tears of gum, and the branches
grew awry, as il they felt the continual dis
cord, and made sorry faces at each other be-
hind their owners back. His fields were
red With sorrel, or ran over with mullein.--
Every thing seemed as hard and arid as his
own visags. Every day, he cursed the town
and the neighborhood, because they poisoned
his dogs, and stoned his hens, and shot his
cats. Continual lawsuits involved him in
go much expense that he had neither time
nor money to spend on the improvement ol
his farm. aa ts e3no t
D'f Against joe Smith, poor nsighbor,
he had brought three suits in succession.--
Joe said he had returned spade he borrow

Joe, and recovered damages, for which he or.
dered the sheriff to seize his pig. Joe, in
his wrath, called him an old swindler, and o
curse to the neIghborhood. These remarks
were soon repeated 10 Reuben. He brough,
an action for libel, and recovered twenty five
cents. Provoked at the laugh this occasion
ed, he watched for Joe TO pass by, and set
hisbig dog upon him, screaming fouriously
"Call me an old swindler again, will youi"--
An evil spirit is more contagious than the
plague. Joe went home aud scolded his
wife, and boxed little Joo's ears, and kicked
