in those sylvan retreats, dreaming of nightin-
gales and hearing only the lowing of oxens,
you are taken BY surprise. Out steps a fair
creature-crosscsa glade-leapsa stile. You
start, you stand lost in wonder and astonish-

farmer in his old-fashioned chimney corner,
and hearing him talk Of corn and mutton
of joining him in the pensive pleasure of a

q Cltban Sketch,
J Ihs Iusiic 9 Of S a con.

The following interesting story, is copied
from q late work on Cuba, hy Mr.. Ballou:
During the first year Of Tacon's governor
sa,ip there was a young Creole girl, named
Miralda Estalez, who ltepta little cigar store
In the Guile dc mercatleras, and whose shop
was the resort Of all the young men of the
town, who loved choicely made and supe-
rior cigar. Miralda was only seventeen, with
out mother or father living, and earned an
humble though sufficient support by her in.
dustry in tho manufactory we have named,
and blythe sales of her little store. She was
picture of rpened tropical beauty, with a
finely rounded form, a lovely face, of soft
olive tint, aud teeth that n Tuscarora might
envy her. At times, there was dash of
languor in her dreamy eye that would have
warmed an anehorite and then her cheerful
.jests were so delicate yet free, that she had
unwittingIy turned the heads, not to say
hearts, of half the young merchants in the
Gale de Mercaderas. But she dispensed her
favors without partiality none of the rich
and gay exquisites of Havanacould say they
had ever received any particular acl,now-
ledgement from tho fair young girl to their
warla and constant attention. For this one
she had a pleasant smile, for anotheria few
wordstof pleasing gossip, and for a third a
snatch of a Spanish song but to none did
she give her confidence, except to young Pa
dro Mantanez,sa fine looking boatman, who
piled between the Punta and Moro Castle on
theopposite side Of the harbor: -, -
gPedrowas manly and courageous young
fellow, rather above his class in intelligence,
appearance and associations, and pulled his

LIVE me neither poverty nor riches" is
a prayer which is seldom offered in sinceri-
ty. With the first branch of it there is no
difficulty. Every one is ready to depre-
cate poverty; but who are they who fcrvent-
ly plead with God to withhold from them
wealth! And yet poverty is a safer condi-
ton than affiucncc. The highest authority
has assured lis that the soul Of rich man is
peculiarly impcrillcd; while it would be
difficult to find in Gods word any sentence
like this--"how hardly shall they that arc
poor enter into the kingdom of heaven .
Poverty certainly has its evils--wealth has
its dangerous seductions. Many happy
families have been hopelcssly ruined by the
sudden accession of fortune. Simple habits,
most favorable to the cultivation of the
Christian virtues, have undergone an alarm
ing change; contentment with home-enioy-
mcnts has been superseded by restless and
dissatisfied feeling prompting the desire for
pleasures beyond the domestic circle; alien
atiens spring up to disturb hitherto de-
lightful harmony; extravaganza discards the
spirit of economy; selfishneSs usurps the
place of benevolence fashion excludes de-
votion and alas how often docs profiga-
cy, with its riotous spirit, break up the
peace of the once happy household
Wealth, III some rare cases, may prove n
blessing; but in most instances it proves a
curse. The most fruitful de!usion by which
Satan entraps the souls of men is by per-
suading them that they could resist the ten
denotes of wealth and use it without abusing
it. 1t may appear to be an cxtravagant as
sertion, and yet it will be difficult to dis
prove it, that no one can be safely entrusted
with wealth who has not first learned hearti-
ly to pray, "Give me not riches" ~.

the Vice Chancellor, Dean Miller, said to me
