he was occasionipg by so doing. Mischief
indeed, for though Mrs. Howard received
every attention, she never recovered from
the shock, and after lingering awhile died.
But Mr.. Howard got his expected letter
from Ohio, and, after the death of his wife,
departed for that State with his mourning
family. We heard afterwards that he was
in good circumstances as clerk of a bank ;
that Alice was married to "a worthy young
farmer, and that her brothers were at col
lege. But Aunt Sarah often speaks of Mr..
Howard as one of the many victims to the
injustice Of society, which never scrupes to
add 20 the burden of poverty the soul crush
ing weight of unjust sGspicion--as if man
must be dishonest because he is poor.

A TEMPERANCE DEACON.

On last New Years eve, at Washington,
a certain New-England deacon, the Presi-
dent of a temperance society in those parts,
returned TO his boarding house in singu-
lar state of elevation, to the establishment Of
all his friends and acquaintance who knew
the inflexibility of his principles
Deacon said wag, addressing the wor-

Yes, zur-I hare replied the deacon,
emphatically.

No, Sir very emphatically-I never

The poor old gentleman had been fed on
stiff egg nog, which he had swallowed by
the aid of a spoon. Like Mr., Pecksniff, un-
der similar circumstances, he was assisted
to bed, and went up stairs quietly enough,
without word, until the moment of enter
ing his bed, when terrific yell of liquid
custardsp electrified the house, and then,
as the novelists say, all was blank.

ANECDOTE OF CHANCELLOR
KENT.

The late Chancellor Kent was one o.
those men whose innate dignity enabled him
to take in good part familiarities--the re-
suit of ignorance and accident. He was
exceedingly fond of martial music, and hear
ing the drums of recruiting party, who
had taken station at the corner of the
street, beating a point of war, he walked
on. to listen to it nearer. Insensibly he was
whistling the burthen of the tune, when the
man of war accosted him
you are fond of such music, then, my
fine fellow
Very! was the reply,
We'll, them said Sergeant Kite, why
not Join us! Good quarters-good pay
large bounty, besides, our Captain is glo-
rious fellow Why won't you, now You
can't do better
WELL said the Chancellor, Il have one
pretty strong objection.
What is it 2 asked the sergeant.
'Why, just now, ! happen to have bet
ter trade
what trade is it 2 said the inquisitor
Il am Chancellor of the State of New
York
'Whewp interected the Sergeant
Strike up quick time forward, march!
OFF tramped the military man, without look
ing behind him leaving the Chancellor t.

HINT TO THE UNPICKED.

An old lady, resident Of neghboring
place, kept large family of Turkeys, per-
haps sixty. She, like great many other
people, thought great deal of her turkeys,
consequently valued them very highly. OPP
posite her door was West India Goods
Store The man who kept it one day emp
tied his cask of cherries, intending to re-
place them with new. This old lady being
economical, thought it pity to have all
these cherries wasted, and in order to have
them saved, she would drive over her tur-
keys and let them eat them. In the course
Of the day the old lady thought she would
look after them and see they were in no
mischief She approached the yard and 10,
in one corner lay her turkeys in one huge
pile, dead. Yes they were stone dead
What was to be done?
Surely the old matron could not lose the
feathers! She must pick them She call
ed her daughter and picked them, intending
to have them buried in the morning. Nor
ming came and behold there were her tur-
keys stalking about the yard featherless c.

their drunken fit had been the means of los
ing their coats. Poor things, if they had
said quit before they begun, they would
not have been in this bad fix
We would advise all young men who are
in the habit of drinking, to leave off before
they get picked; and to those who do not,
let every young lady say quit

A KENTUCKY JOKE.

correspondent of the Kentucky Wing
gives an amusing account of the progress Of
a recruiting officer, Capt. Metcalfe, in the
county OF Carter, which is three or four to
one democratic, and one would suppose
would be very full of valor, if their profess
sions are to be taken as evidence. Capt.
nj. being at home on the recruiting service.
looked to Carter, which has often rendered
but never given aid in the prosecution of
the war; as the place, above all others, for
recruiting station. He accordingly went
there, posted mp his bills, and offered all
sorts of inducements to those disposed to
battle for their country and, after several
days spent in hard work, recruited one man,
and left in despair A day or two after he
left, notice was posted up, calling meet
ing OF the patriotic war democracy, at the
court house, for the purpose of electing Il
candidate to the Legislature. This an
nouncement, as usual, produced great ex-
-citement, and the citizens from all parts
were preparing to attend. Meanwhile,
however, some waggish fellow added post
script to the call for meeting, announcing
the fact that Capt. Metcalfe would attend
the meeting, for the purpose Of recruiting
such able bodied men as were disposed to
go forth to the wars, to fight, bleed and die
for their country. The news spread like
wild-fre, and though it was promptly con-
tradicted, the able bodied men did not come
to the meeting; there was not a quorum
present, and for the first time in the history
of Carter, the announcement of a democrat
ic meeting found no response in the hearts
of the indomitable Lococos of the "ever true
and glorious Old Ninth" and it is further
stated, as the opinion of those "who ought
to know" that there never will be meet
ing of the unterrfed while recruiting Of

ANECDOTE.

The following circumstance happened in
one of the towns of Arkansas. A man had
been drinking until late hour at night be-
fore he started for home. Honest folks had
been long in bed, and the houses were all
shut and dBrk. The liquor he had taken
was too much for him; he did not know
where to go. He at last staggered into an
empty wagon shed, and fell upon the ground:
for long time he lay in the unconscious
ness of drunken sleep, and would have
undoubtedly frozen, flor the snow on the
ground showed the night to be very cold )had
not others less insensible than himself been
around him This shed was favorite rem
desvous for the hogs, which rushed out
when the new conner arrived, but soon re-
turned TO their bed. In the utmost kind
ness, and with the truest hospitality, they
gave their biped companion the middle Of
the bed; some lying on either side of him,
and others acting the part of quilt Their
warmth prevented him from being injured
by his exposure. Towards morning he a
woke finding himself comfortable, in bliss
full ignorance of his whereabouts, he sup
posed himself enjoying the accommodations
of tavern, in company with other gentle
men. He reached out his hand, and catch
ing hold of stiff bristle of hog exclaimed,
why mister, s0hen did you shane last i"

THE BAG OF WHEAT.
BY MRS. LYDIA JANE PiERsoS.

So it seems we have got thief in our
settlement" remarked Mrs. Green to a COM
pany of ladies' who we're assembled around
a quilt, each busily plying her needle,
81 should hope not" said Mrs. Gray,
have never heard of a theft being commit
ted in this neighborhood, and we are all en-
cessively careless, leaving our doors unfas-
tened day and night, aud our wash out for
days together, and never once dreaming
that any thing could be stolen"
"Thatis true" replied Mrs Green. We
have never had lock or bolt upon our
door; but it becomes us to be a little eau
tious now"
"What has happened, Mrs. Greenl in
quired Mrs. Lacey, Il think you should tell
us what you mean"
."Well, then" said Mrs. Green, "thougl
they talk of keeping quiet as the suresi
method of detecting the thief, see no harm
in telling it for there can be no doubt as to
who the wretch is"
"You must know that Mr.. Frost put up
six bags full of wheat, to take to the mill
last Saturday morning, but something pre-
vented his going; and when he went to the
barn yesterday to take it away, one bag wa:
missing so you see IT must have been sto
len between Saturday and yesterday, which
was Monday"
!" But who is suspected of the theft p
asked one.
"Oh, as to that you know, as Mrs. GRAY
4, says, we have never had any dishonest PEG
pie amongst us; so it must be the poor fam
lily that moved into Mr.. Frost's old house
last month. Mary called on them soon at
ter they moved in, and she says they looked
