THE OUAKER'S CORN CRIB.

A man had been in the habit of stealing
corn from his neighbor, who was Quaker.
Every night he would go softly to the crib,
and fill his bag with the ears which the good
old Quaker's toll had placed there. Every
morning the old gentleman observed dimi-
mutton of his corn pile. This was very an
noying, and must be stopped-but howl
Many an one would have said, t'Take gun,
conceal yourself, wait till he comes, and fire. !"
Others would have said, Catch the villain,
and have him sent to Jail. F"
But the Quaker was not prepared to enter
into any such measures He wanted to pun
ish the offender and at the same time bring
about his reformation, if possible. So he fix
ed a sort of trap close to the hole through
which the man would thrust bis arm in get
ting the corn.
The wicked neighbor proceeded on his an
holy errand at the hour of midnight, with bag
in hand. Unsuspectingly, he thrust his hand
into the crib to seize an ear, when, 10! he
found himself unable to withdraw it In vain
he tugged, and pulled, and sweated, and al
ternassly cried and cursed. His hand WAS
fast, and every effort to release it only made
it the more secure. After time the tumult
in his breast measurably subsided. He gave
over his useless struggles and began to look
dIOuuu uiiu AL hao shCdSS iSPoSS'
Good meE were sleeping comfortably in their
beds, while he was compelled to keep a drea-
ry, disgraceful watch through the remainder
of that long and tedious night, bis hand in
constant pain from the pressure of the cramp
which held it. His tired limbs, compelled to
sustain his weary body, would fain have sunk
beneath him, and his heavy eyes would have
closed in slumber, but no there was no rest
or sleep for him. There he must stand and
watch the progress of tae night, and at once
desire and dread the return of morning.
Morning came at last, and the Quaker looked
out of his window and fonnd that he had
"caaght the man."
What was to be done? Some would say
go out and give him a good cowbiding just
as he stands. and then release him /; thasll
cure him. But not so said the Quaker
Such course would have sent the man away
embittered. and mutterring curses of revenge.
The good old man hurried on his clothes, and
started at once to the relief and punishment
of his prisoner.
'Good morning, friend" said he, as he
came in speaking distance. 'How does thee
do?"
The poor culprit made no answer. but burst
into tears.
80, fie - said the Quaker, as he proceed
ed to release him. "Pm sorry that thee has
COS thy hand fast. Thee put it into the wrong
place, or it would net have been SO"

). The man looked crest fallen, and begging
forgiveness, hastily turned to make bis retreat.
'tStay," said his prosecutor, for be vas now
becoming such to the offender, who could have

the kind words that were falling from the
Quaker's lips Stay, friend, thy bag is no.
filled Thee needsscorn. or thee would not
have taken so much pains to get it. Come.
let us fill - and the poor fellow was obi
ged to stand and hold the bag while the old
man filed it, interspersing the. exercises with
the pieasantest conversation imaginable, all of
which went like daggers in the heart Of his
chagrined and mortified victim. The bag was
filed and the string tied, and the sufferer ho-
ped soon to be ont of the presence of his tor
mentor, but again bis purpose was thwarted
Stay" said the Quaker, as the man was
about to hurry off, having uttered once more
his apologies and thanks. ''Stay Ruth has
breakfast ere this; thee must n think of go-
ing without breakfast /; come, Ruth is calling.
This was almost unendurable. This was
90 heaping Goals" with vengeance. In vain
the mortified neighbour begged to be excused
In vain he pleaded to be released from what
would be to him a punishment ten times
more severe than stripes and Imprisonment.
The Quaker was inexorable, ard he was OBJ
liged to yield. Breakfast over, s.Now,''
said the old farmer, as he helped the victim
shoulder the bag. eff thee needs any more,
come in daytime and thee shall have it
With what shame and remorse did than
guilty man turn from the dwelling of the pioua
Quaker Everybody is ready to say that he
never again troubled the Quaker's corn-crib
I have something better than that to tell you
He at once repented and reformed. and my
infol ment tells me that he heard him relate,
in an experience-meeting, the substance Of
the story have just related, and he attrib-
uted his conversion, under Gods blessing, to
the course the Quaker had pursued, to arrest
him in his downward course.

ThOnnpsOn's Clock.

1nO1lPSOH S1VSA.
There is clock in our place
That regulates the town,
With tiny hands and pretty face.
Though it looks old and brown.
The rarest clock that e'er / saw,
1t beats ali clocks, know,
Il went and stood in Noah's ark
Four thousand years ago.
There is a clock in our place
At THOMPSON'S store tits found;
TITS called the REGULATOR here,
And rarest clock in town.
Just call at Thompson's Hatter's Store,
And see this old clock go,
And buy hat In place Of one
Bought twenty years ago.
This Thompson keeps on Clinton street.
The clock is in his store,
And has been running, without feet.
Four thousand years and more.
Now, if you don't believe me, Tom.
Just call in as you go,
And buy Cap in place of one
Bought twenty years ago.
Twas put up by George Bolsinger,
An ARTIST of our town,
The wheels are made of wood and brass.
And all seem pretty sound.
And now my last advise, dear Tom,
Is, stop in as you go,
And buy some Boots in place Of those
Bought twenty yeers ago.

Eg A young man went out hunting for
deer in the woods near Lahmark, G. W, re-
Gently, and as an experiment, he clothed him
self in deer skin, and took a stand where
those animals were known to pass quite oftsn.
While thus intent upon securing some game,
another hunter came near making game of
him; for happening to see what he supposed
fine deer through the thicket, the newcomer
took deliberate aim at it and fired Foriu-
nately the ball missed the counterfeit deer.
but it succeeded in &c frightening HIM out Of
his skin"

Give US this day our daily BREAD"
And pies, and cakes, besides,
To load the stomach, pain the head.
And choke the vital tides.
And if too soon friend decays,
Or dies in agony
Well talk of e Gods mysterious wAys."
And lay it all to thee.
Give US, to please morbid taste.
In spite of pain and death,
Consumption-strings around the waist,
Almost to stop the BREATH
Then, if infrmity attends
Our stinted progeny,
In visitations for oar sins.
Wei. lay it all on thee.
Give us good houses, large and tall.
To look the cabins down.
And servants, lodging at our call,
And shaking at our frown.
The poor, however worthy they.
Wen treat quite scornfully:
Then sixpence pay communion day.
And settle up with thee.
We do disdain to toll and sweat,
Like girls of vulgar bloodl
OF labor, give us not a bit.
For physic nor for food:
And if for lack of exercise,
And lack of stamina,
Of those We trample and despiss.
Well Law it all to thee
If any curse we have forgot.
That on votary,
Fashion let fall-withhold 1t not,
But send it grievously.
And if too hard the milestone light,
For frail humanity, III - ealss .aso
Well never blame ourselves mite.
But lay it all 70 thee.
Yes, give US of coffee, wine and tea.-
And hot things introduce;
The stonlach's warm bath thrice day.
To weaken, and reduce.
And if defying Natures Laws.
Dyspeptic we must be,
Well scorn to search for human cause,
But lay it all to thee.
