Rich Scene.

Some weeks ago there was gathering Of
the alumni of Rockland College, Louisiana,
when the following good story was told
A tall, awkward looking chap, Just from
the Green mountains of Vermont, came on
board one of the north River Boats at Albany.
His curiosity was amazingly excited at once
and he commenced peeking, as he called it
into every nook and corner on the boat
The captains office, the engine room, the
water closets, the barber's shop, all under
went his inspection; and then he went on
deck and stood in amazement at the lever
beam, the chimneys aud the various ''ixins, -
till at last he caught sight Of the bell. This
was the crowning wonder, and he viewed it
/ from every position, walked around it, and
exclaimed
"Wall, rally, this beats the bell on our
meeting house darned sight"
| BY this time the attention of the captain
and several Of the passengers was attracted
to this genius.
GLOW much would you ask to let feler
ring this bell?"
"You may ring it for dollar, SIR said
the captain.
"Wall, it's bargain, all fair and agreed,
and no backing OUT
'lt's bargain, sir, said the captain,
Our hero went deliberately and brought
out seat and took hold of the bellrope, and
having arranged every thing to his satisfac-
ton, commenced ringing slowly at first, and
gradually faster and faster! till every BODY
on board thought the boat was on fire, and
rushed on deck, screaming with alarm.
There stood the captain, and there stood
the "Vermonter," ringing away first slow
and then fast, and then two or three taps at
time.
The passengers began to expostulate; the
captain said it was a bargain. But the pas
sengers became urgent that the eternal clan
gor should be stopped.
All the while there sat our hero undisturb-
cd, ringing more ways than cockney chime
ringer ever dreamed about.
AT last the captain began to think it time
to stop the simpleton; but his answer was,
ga fair bargain and no backing out, }" and he
rang away for dear life.
"Well,' says the captain, ''what will YOU
take to stop?"
wall, capt'n, guess l shan loose moth
ing if take five dollars and free passage
to New York, but not darned cent less"
"Well, walk down to the office and get
yourmoney and passage ticket"

lTERMs-$i,so A YEAR
Executive Pardons.

Gov. Wood has beenvcry Indignantly een-
sured by number Of the Whig papers
throughout the State, for pardoning from
the State prison man named KEEPER. who
was sentenced for murder in the second de-
gree. We cut the following paragraph from
the Ohio State Journal, from which it appears
that, ''ifthe people of Stark county have any
cause of complaint, il is against their own
citizens rather than against the governor"
eve referred few day since to the con-
duct of some the inhabitants Of Stark CO..
IN reference to the action of Governor Wood,
IN pardoning Keefer, who was sent to the
Penltcntlary formurder in thesecond degree.
The Stark County Democrat, oflast week.
containing the petitions and papers on which
the pardon was based. From these it seems
that the President Judge, one of the Asso-
'ciate Judges, the twelve Jurymen, and quite
a number Of the prominent citizens Of Mas
silon and Cleveland petitioned for the par
don, and made a representation of facts
which would render pardon justiiiablc.--
II the people of Stark county have any cause
of complaint, it is against their own citizens,
rather than against the Governor

This piece of testimony was conclusive
Jacob was instantly discharged, amid the re-
lterated shouts and acclamations of those
present. Having somewhat recovered from
the joyful shock produced by this remarka-
bic change of affairs in his honor, Jacob cx-
claimed-"Thank Heaven, my good mother
was right when she said-'Fear not nv son,
GoD WILL PROVIDE A Way"
Before leaving the village, Jacob was re-
Ipeatedly urged prosecute Daybook for per-
jury; but he invariably answered-"No; it
would look like revenge. Poor man! from
my soul pity him. The cravings of a
guilty conscience harass him by day, and the
ghosts of his bad deeds will haunt him bv
night"
Two days after being tried, Jacob reached
home. He Immediately paid off Deacon
Grimes; and married Sarah Westerly-all in
due course of time.
More than thirty years have passed away
since the foregoing events transpired. Jacob
is yet alive, the owner of well cultivated
farm. His family of children-now men
and women-are happily settled around him.
He is now leading member of Temper
ance Society, and has for many years repre-
sented his town in the Legislature. His
mother still lives, and resides with him, in a
green old age; one bright ray of the setting
sun still lingering on her declining years.
In commemoration Of that remarkable in
cident in his life, which we have attempted
to record in this simple story, Jacob Will
cox has caused to be painted on the back
part of the seat of his two-horse wagon, a
green flask bottle surmounted with pair of
shears, whole enclosed in wreath of
evergreen. He styles it his coat Of arms.
The writer of this being recently on visit
to his native State, received from Mr.. Wilcox
himself the skeleton of this. story, which he
has feshed up and clothed in simple, and he
hopes modest drapery. So endeth the tale
of a "Pocket Pistol and Pair of Shears!''

A few Hints.

One hour lost in the morning by lying in
bed will put back all the business Of the day,
One hour gained by rising early is worth
one month of labor in a year.
One hole in fence will cost ten times as
much as twill to fix it at once.
One diseased sheep will poison a whole
flock.
One unruly animal will learn all others
in a company bad tricks and the bible says,
Zone sinner destroys much good"
One drunkard will keep family poor and
make them miserable.
One wife that is always telling how fine
her ncighbor dresses, and how little she can
get will look pleasanter II she talks about
something else.
One husband that is penurious or lazy and
deprives his family Of necessary comforts,
such as neighbors enjoy is not as desirable as
he ought to be.
One lie viii costtwcnty more to conceal it.
One good newspaper is one good thing in
every family. M

How beautiful! she would compel
The tribute of stoic's kiss;
Angelic purity might dwell
In such shrine as this
And here it dwells--unstained and bright
Though half concealed by modest fear;
Yet, were this soul disrob ID to night,
Id see an angel here!
How sweet her slumber! None but those
Whom heaven hath numbered for its bliss
Have promise of such calm repose-
Such perfect rest as this
Unconscious of the woes and cares
That weigh us down in waking hours,
Her gentle spirit only bears
A burden now of flowers
She dreams! Her radiant features speak
Of themes that waken deep delight,
For smiles adorn her lip and check
Smiles beautiful and bright
O, could lift the jealous veal
That doth those Joyous thoughts conceal
The spotless page sinless tale
Would presently reveal.
And hark! her parting lips disclose
Some cherished secret long repressed:
Mark how her cheek with bushes glow
How heaves her swelling breast
She breathes name-amid the dream
The soul of Love is in the tone
Her cheeks with deeper bushes tenn
That name--IT is MY owNl
Joy! Joyl My bliss is perfect now
The boon Icraved is mine
Upon my bended knee bow,
Andthank thee--God divine,
BY night or day, awake, asleep,
The signals of her love see;
know that love is pure and deep,
And centered all in me,
