A Good Story.

The following excellent story is told
of Mr.. Sheaf a grocer in Portsmouth,
N. II.
1t appears that man had purchas-
ed some wool of him, which had been
weighed and paid for, and Mr.. Sheaf
had gone to'the desk to get change for
note. Happening to turn his head
while there, he saw, in glass, which
swung SO as to reflect the shop, stout
arm reach up and t''ke from the shelf a
heavy white oak cheese. Instead ofap.
pearing suddenly and rebukeing the
man for bis theft as another would.
thereby losing his custom forever. the
crafty old gentleman gave the theft his
change as if nothing had happened, and
then under. the pretence of lifting the
bag TO lay it on his horse for him, he
took hold of it and exclasmed--
Why bless me. must have reconed
the weight wrong
oh no said the other, you may be
sure you have not, for l counted with
you
Well, well we won't dispute about
the matter, it is so easily tried said
Mr.. s., putting the bag back into the
scales again, There told you so, said
he; new was right: made a mis-
take of nearly twentyspounds; however,
if you don't want the whole, you NEEDN'T
have it, III take part of it out.
NO, no" said the other, staying the
hands of MIR. S. on their wsy to the
bag, I guess I will take the whole.
And this he did, paying for his dis
honesty by receiving the skim-milk
cheese at the price of wool.

POETRY.
BY L. VIRGINIA SMITH.

L.
There's voice upon the hill-tors, and song within ths
vale,
Parry carols in the woodland spirit whispers on the gale
merry mermaid charms In the ocean's sparry caves,
And deep triumphant pBan from its tossing
But sweeter to my spirit as the autumn day declines,
Comes the staey solemn, swelling Aiserere OF the Pines
There music IN the morning, there harmony eve,
In the rich, fantastic oyerures the boughs and breeze,
weave,
Dreamy melody at noon.ide from the willow hidden rls,
Or the hunters bugc sounding the far-on breezy hills
But when round he brow of midnight red the starry
pent shines,
love the stately, solemn Miserere Of the Pines,
When the e-y beacon gltlers thro the twilight
glades,
And the birds sunk to In woodland
nadss,
Comes murmnr like . vd-bee in the meadow-Iiy's
That deepens the hunders organs rolling SWELL
As the night wind creeping lonely through ten thousand
leafy tines
WAKES the stately solemn swelling Miseere Of the Pines
The Palm beauty, and the oaks defiant prde
Bow as the banded tempest sweeps the forest phaanx
wide,
But the wild, md-wnter wind upon the Oceans rocky
shore,
Calls forth from out the dark pine grove mimic sursc's
And Is the columned waters pass
lines
Seem archng to the stately Miserere Of the Pines.
Funeral anthems float far the dim cathedral nave,
Where crested vaIos marble lies shrouded the
grave,
Yet not 50 proud drge his as that which echoes wide
side,
A through the wild wichhazel that Ger his rest
recliues,
Steals the solemn, swelling MIserere the Pines.
