KAINTucK And THE FIDDLER.

On board the steamer Indiana. on one OF
her trips down the Mississippi were a large
number Of good natured passengers. They
were seeking TO while away hours according
TO their several notions Of pleasure, and would
have got on very well, but for one ANNOYANCE
There happened to be on board Hoosier
from the Wabash who was going down 20
Orleans, and he had provided himself with an
cid hddle, fancying that he could fiddle as
well as the best man, and planting himself
where he would attract notice, scraped away.
The fellow couldn't fiddle any more than n
setting hen, and the horrible noise disturbed
his fellow passengers. A Frenchman Of very
delicate nerves and a very fine musical ear,
was especially annoyed. He huttered, fdg-
cited, and swore at the fiddle. The passen-
gers tried various expedients TO rid themselves
OF the HoOsier and his fiddle, but IL was no 90:
" he would music just rs long as he pleased" ]"

passengers were startled by the discordant

SUNNY Spirit How beautiful it ist A

OF peaceful faith, of brightness OF fancy and

such spirit sheds about its possessor! How
tranquil and how happy are the family circles
amid which it prevails. How does il make
the common words of the soul which it per-
vades aS musical in their dow as brooks In

against the strong impulse Of opposition! How
does 1t enlighten that portion OF life which is
overhung and Swallowed by sorrow or by peril,
How does II Undue with beauty the literature
or the art OF the mind that is it's dwelling,
How does it convert even the infrmitles Of old
age, which IL cannot dissipate, into occasions
Of pleasanter anticipation; as the sun at even
Ing lines the thickest clouds with pearl and
silver, and edges their masses with golden
sheen. And how does such . spirit, as the ev-
idence and the result Of faith Ia Christ, and
Of delightful trust in the Divine Father, cor
