+" Kings Evil"

Good stories are now so scarce none
should be lost, and the following, told US
by Mr.. J. H. McVicker, the Yankee COM
edian, is among the best we have heard
At small village not thousand miles
of, number of stages arrived, filled with
passengers, who were obliged to stop at a
small tavern, in which there was no
great supply of beds. The landlord re-
marked that he should be obliged to put
two or three gentleman (who were, by
way, nearly all strangers to one another)
together, and requested that they would
take partners. Stage coaches are filled
with all sorts of people, and bed-fellow
should be selected with care. Every
body seemed to hesitate. Mr.. McVicker,
who was one Of the passengers, had made
up his mind to sleep in chair, or have a
bed to himself. He saw that his only
chance to get bed to himself was by
his wits, and walking up to the Register,
he entered his name, and remarked, q
am willing to sleep with any gentleman,
but have the Kings Evil and it is con-
tagious.' The Kings Evil " said every
one !; and the landlord looking thunder
struck, remarked, as he eyed Mac rather
closely, I'll see, sir, what | can do for
you by YOURSELF In short time, Mac
was ensconced in the landlords bed
who slept on the floor to accommo-
date strangers. a..
In the morning, while all were preparing
for breakfast, fellow-traveller accosted
the comedian with Pray, sir, what is the
nature of the complaint of which you
you spoke last nightn
The naturer drawled out Mac, lit
tie non plussed for an answer.
Yes, sir. never heard of such a
disease before
Why said Mac, Frightening up,
thought every one knew. 1t is disease
of long standing. It's first appearance in
America was during the Revolutionary
War, when it took off some of the besl
men our country ever contained. At the
battle Of New Orleans, it amounted to an
epidemic; and since the arrival of Kos
suth in this country, it has broken oul
afresh in many places
lndeed!' SAID the stranger, confess
] never heard much of it,
Perhaps not said Mac, fol it gener
ally goes BY an other name
'And what may that name be z.

replied Mac, as he turned away to ar
range his toilet for breakfast.

SORRY TO TROUBLE HIM. The following
amusing anecdote we take from the last
number of the Knickerbocker:
Much amused to-day by a passage in
letter, from village correspondent in
the northern part of old Massachusetts,
whose most humane profession is that of
surgeon-dentist: Il took lately he
writes, with a world of wrenching, an
immense molar from the right lower jaw
of a stout Irish 'help.' She bore it all
without seeming to be aware of what |
was doing. After the tooth was fairly
out, she looked up to me with an air of
con6ding sincerity, and said: was sorry
to trouble you, Decther, so much me

Wise Laws.

Evil men speak as they wish rather
than what they know.
He that would enjoy the fruit must not
gather the flower.
Never open the door to a little vice,
lest great one should enter also.
An hour in the morning is worth two in
the afternoon.
All things are soon prepared in a well
ordered house.
However little we may have to do, let
US do that little well.
Nothing begets confidence sooner than
punctuality.
Fair dealing is the bond and cement of
society.
Money is useful servant but tyran>
meal master.
1t is easier to suppress the first desire,
than to satisfy all that follow it.
That virtue which parleys is near a
surrender.
The world is workshop, and none
but the wise know how to use the tools.

The Hearts Fine Gold.
I saw a little girl

saw little girl
That shivered by my side,
And the sparkling snow, with Whit and q
whirl,
Wove u frosty wreath in her hanging curl,
As she pushed her hair aside.
saw her fearful eye,
That spoke in tender power,
And the sobbing heart with throe and sigh,
Were the sparkling tongues that answered the
She came that chilly hour.
l asked what brought her there
In accents low and sad,
She asked for some food, for crust was thu
OF mother and babe, mid the hearts despair
In rags were thinly clad.
Her father with the dead
Had gone to take his rest;
He had struggled long with the toll and TIT
dread
Of the life in which the laborers tread
And had always done his best.
Her simple tale 1 hear,
Nor did she speak in vain
For her prayerful tone, and the sigh, and the
word
Of the pale thin lips all my pity stirred.
As she spoke in tears again.
Her wants I we'll supplied,
With such as could spare,
And the poor girl wept in her souls grateful
tide,
For her heart was full and she vainly tried
To utter its promptings there.
My heart grew rich that day
My soul more noble grew
For her tears that fell were the gems in the ray
Of the great Love sun that shall chase away
The night and its gloom born dew.
Iwould that could spend
My life in joys like this,
would gather gems, and the gold with them
blend
In heaven of Loves pure bliss.
