The widow Lee r. repeated Mrs.

That was my name,' replied the lady
as a smile passed over her face at being

was known in the academy as the
little Calico Cloak" Perhaps you can
remember me by that name.
The smile faded from Mrs. Britton's
face, and a crimson blush overspread her
features, which in a few moments was
seen deepening upon the faces of others
present.
There was a silence for some minutes
when Mrs. Maynard looked up she found
she had caused considerable disturbance
among the ladies of her own age by max.
ing herself known. I.
"OhI | remember very well when the
little " Calico Cloak ; went to the acade

over her glasses, and I think, if my
memory serves me right some of the la
dies present will owe Mrs. Maynard al
apology"
II had no intention whatever, ladies
replied Mrs. Maynard, to reprove an,
one present by making myself known, bu
as it may seem to some that such was m,
intention, | will add a few words. Mos
of the young ladies present will remembe
the little " Calico Cloak" but no one Blu
} the wearer knows how deeply each I'm
kind word pierced the little heart tina
beat beneath it. And as | again hear th,
old academy bell ring, it brings bacl
. fresh to my mind the sorrows Of child
hood. But let no lady mistake me, b,
supposing [ cherish an unkind feeling to
ward any one. | know that whateve
the past may have been, you are now my
friends. But ladies, let me add, if yoi
have children, learn a lesson from m,
experience, and treat kindly the poor AM
despised. A calico cloak may cover
heart as warm with affection. and as sen
J sitive of sorrow, as one that beats beneath
a velvet covering. When ever you NEE
a child who shows a disposition to des
pise the poor, tell the story Of the /" Cali
co Cloak" it will carry its own mora
with it."
"That is the shortest but best sermon
l ever heard" said the old lady. again a
she put her handkerchief under her glas
ses !; and I do not believe its moral ef
feet will be lost upon any of u.s."
The old lady was right. The stor..
went from one to another until it foune
its way into the old academy. At tina
very time a little boy was attending
school there, whose mother was strqg
CLING with her needle to give him an ed
i, u~cation. The boys often made sport 0
his patched knees and elbows, and h
would run sobbing home to his mother
But when the calico cloak' reached th
scholars, the little boy (for he was natul
ally a noble hearted child,) became yer,
popular in school and the children fror
that time, were very kind to "Littl
Patchy," as he had always been called.
When Mrs. Maynard heard the stor
of 9 Little Patchy, she felt that she wa
well repaid for all she had suffered i
childhood.

The First Kiss.

The First Kiss.
BYETHADDEUs WILLIAMS, IF KY.
II was the first and sweetest boon
To youthful passion given:
'Twere well it died away SO soon,
Or both had been in heaven!
1t was the first low lender sigh,
That told the hearts devotion
The first bright star that lit the sky
Above its stormy ocean
1t was beneath a sycamore,
Our hands and hearts entwining,
Where oft at eve we'd sat before,
With stars above US shining.
And we were young, and thoughtless too.
Of life and time departing;
Our youthful hearts were warm and true.
Upon their journey starting.
My arm around her tiny waist,
Was all unconscious stealing;
ind hers in mine so fondly placed,
Bore on the tide of feeling.
Still nearer to my throbbing heart
1 drew the little fairy;
For soon I felt that | must part
With Emmaline my deariel
1 scarcely breathed, !" Win you be mine q"
1 felt my pulses tarry;
/" 1 love you well, dear Emmaline,
And you and / will marryr"
One gentle tremor moved her frame,
One blush suffused our faces;
My lips met hefs,-she breathed my name,
And fell in my embraces.
Our human hearts are weak and frail,
And full Of sad remisses;
But mine will never sink or fail
While Emma gives me kisses
Away with all your mournful stealth,
My heart its care dismisses
/ ask on earth no other wealth
Than Emma and her kisses

EPOETRXo
Wanted--A Minister.
We have been without a Pastor
Some eighteen months or more,
And though candidates are plenty
We've had at least a score,
All of EN- "tip-top'' preachers,
Or so their letters ran
And yet we can't exactly hit
Upon a proper mani
The first who came among us,
By no means was the worst,
But then we didn't think of him,
Because he was the first;
1t being quite the custom
To sacrifice a few,
Before the church in earnest
Determines what to do.
There was a smart young fellow,
With serious, earnest way,
Who but for one great blunder
Had surely won the day;
Who left so good impression
On Monday, one or two
Went round among the people
To see if he would do.
The pious, cody portion,
Had not a fault to find;
His clear and searching preaching
They thought the very kind;
And all went smooth and pleasant
Until they heard the views
Of some influential sinners,
Who rent the highest pews.
Of those his pungent dealing
Made but a sorrow hit!
The coat of gospel teaching
Was quite too tight a fit;
Of course his fate was settled,
Attend, ye Parsons all!
And preach to please the sinners,
If you would get a call
~ r + + 4 4 4
Next we dispatched committees,
By twos and threes, to urge
The labors for a Sabbath
Of the Rev. Shallow Splurge.
He came-a marked sensation,
So wonderful his style,
Followed the craaking of his boots
As he passed up the aisle.
His tones were so affecting,
His gestures so divine,
A lady tainted in the hymn
Before the second line.
And on that day he gave us,
In accents clear and loud,
The greatest prayers were ere addressed
70 an enlightened crowd.
He preached a double sermon,
And gave Is angels food
On such a lovely topic,
The joys of solitude"
All full Of sweet descriptions,
Of flowers and pearly streams,
Of warbling birds and moonlight groves
And golden sunset beams.
Of faith and true repentance,
He nothing had to say,
He rounded all the corners,
And smoothed the rugged way,
Managed with great adrcitness
To entertain and please,
And leave the sinners conscience
Completely at its ease.
Six hundred is the salary
We gave in former days,
We thought it very liberal,
And found it hard to raise;
But when we took the paper,
We had no need to urge,
To raise a cool two thousand
For the Rev. Shallow Splerge.
In vain we're all their efforts,
We had no chance at all,
We found two city churches
Had given him a call;
And he in prayerful waiting,
Was keeping all in tow,
But where they bid the highest
Twas whispered he would go.
And now good Christian brothers,
We ask your earnest prayers,
That God would send a shepherd
To guide our church affairs;
With this clear understanding
A man to meet our views
Must preach to please the sinners,
And fill the vacant pews.
