"PEoPLE are too much given to slander!' said Mrs. Burlington, solemnly as she took her hands out of some gingerbread she was mak- ing, and held them over the pan as if she was invoking blessing on the savory mass She turned half round as she spoke, and Mrs. Sled, who was busy with her sewing, looked up.- "Why will people indulge in calomel," con- tnued she, "and give opproprious names, when they could go along in peace and harmony with consciences voiding offence. Whole neigbor- hoods are sot into blaze by scandaliars and tale bearers, and envy is to the bottom of it, six times out of five. Some folks can't bear to see some folks prosper. Now, if I know my own heart, don't b'lieve I've got single enviable quality, and thank heaven for it." -BostOn Post

"CUT LOOSE AGAIN, M1sTER!'-A friend of ours, who is most accomplished salesman, and who is kept very busy in one of the up- town dry goods houses, was complimented not long since, in the manner and form as follows, to wit:
 He had countryman in the store, and was showing him very handsome piece of ladies' dress goods, not with any hope of selling it; still, there was some slight chance, and besides, 1t is necessary-so our friend avers-to keep constantly in practice. So he dashed ahead in fine style, praised the richness of the pattern, extrolled the texture of the fabric, held 1t up to favorable light, vouched for its ultra fash condolences, and, in short, let loose torrent of eloquence, in which it was difficult to distin- guish which was most hattered, the taste of the admiring rustic or the quality of the magn- fcent moussehne. Bumpkin's eye flashed with gratifed pride at the complimentary allusion to himself, and unconcealed astonishment at the development of beauty in the goods and fuen- cy in the salesman. Catching our friend by the arm, he exclaimed "Stop right here one mi nute!' and dashed out of the store with two or three rapid bounds. Grosdenap stood still, a little bothered, holding the bolt of goods across both hands, just as though he had frozen in the attitude in which he had SO thoroughly impress sed the rural gentleman. Meanwhile, this last mentioned individual whisked two bouncing girls out of caryall which stood in front of the store and half pushing, half pulling them, brought them up in front of him of the fluent tongue:
 "Gals! stand there-right there, Sally!-and now, mister cut loose again! just ,oaat the gaks to hear your at
 It is almost needless to say, in view of the peculiarity of the circumstances, that our friend was utterly Overwhelmed with his emotions, and for once in his life failed in his utterance ito the great disappointment of both father and daughters.

(Seleeted.] T HI E CSIN. A Lay of Old Point Comfort.
BY W. T. WALTHALI

BY w. T. wALTHALL. A lady stands on ramparts height, Beneath starry sky '; A youth is with that lady bright, And no other eyes are nigh. They look upon lovely bay.
 Waved by the breath of even; And we'll l ween, no fairer scene To mortal eye is given. From her ocean bed the moon is springing, Where wave and welkin meet, And flood of silvery light is f1ineing Athwart the ripping sheet; And the dancing waves, that kiss the shore, With gentle sound are beating, As soft and low as words that flow. From lips of lovers meeting. The spell of the fairy scene hath bound The youth and the lady fair; But hark! clear and startling sound Rings on the silent air. Away! away the hour is come,
 The 'larum voice hath spoken; They have left the shore-the dream is o'er. And the airy charm is broken. Would'st know the pow'r, in that soft hour, That broke so sweet spell? An. truth is cold, but must be told It was the SUPPER BELL.
