The keys OF thrifty liir--the mill streams fall.
The engines pant along its quivering rails,
The anvii's ring, the measured beats Of fails,
The sweep of scythes, the reaper's whistled

Answering the summons of the bells of noon

The steamboats, signal, and the dip of oars
Slowly the curtain rose from off a land

The golden wheat-felds glimmered in the sun,
And the tall maize its yellow tassels spun.
Smooth highways set with hedgerows living

With steepled towns through shaded yistas

The rook-bank whitening in the grist-milPs

The painted farmhouse shining through the

Offruited orchards bending at its caves,

AMERICAN SANG.FROID.

Far away from the great cities, half hidden
in the foliage, was the modest log hut Of man
half trapper, half fisherman, and more thar
half savage. Of course his name was Smith
He was married, and he and his wife in this one
little chamber led the happiest Of existence
for on an occasion she would not object TO pt
twenty miles 10 hear the Baptist minister
preach.
One evening about sun down they were botl
together int cir little cabin, she knitting stock
ings for the next winter snsws, he cleaning th,
barrel of his fowling piece all the parts Of
which were y ing dlsmounteG about him--botf
busy and neither uttered syllable.
BY degrees a dull but regular sound breaks
upon the silence of the wilderness. The steam.
er is ascending the river, making the best of its
way against the stream. But neither Smith
nor his wife pay any attention; he goes on clean
ing his gun, she knitting her stocking.
The air, however, darkens; thick smoke
rises upon every side; a formidable explosion
issuddenly heard; one would have said il was
discharge Of several cannon at once. The
boiler had burst, the vessel was sunk; every
thing was destroyed.
Smith and his wife did not look up; he went
Oh cleaning his gun, she knitting her stock
ings for explosion Of steamers are so common
But this was one which was to interest them
more nearly, for scarcely had the explosion
erded, before the roof of the cabin split in two
and something heavy descended through the
aperture. This something was a man who
dropped between the pair without, however
disturbing either-he still cleaning his gun :
che knitting her stocking.
But the traveller, so rudely introduced, SEEM
ed rather astounded at his descent After a
few minutes, however, he resumed his cool
ness, and began 10 look Ito I him--6xing bis
attention at last upon the hole through which
he had just arrived. OH! my man." said he
st lenght, addressing Smith, "what's the dam
age?''
On this, Smith, who had not given up bis
work, put aside his rifle, and looking up to es
finale his loss, answered, after seine littlr re-
fection, "Ten dollars.D
"You be hangedr' exclaimed the traveller
