she had family Of her own. How aniable
and interested she was in everything that
could contribute to the comfort and ioy Of
the little Bidges. Badge did al be could
to please them in his awkward way, bot
Mrs. Badge was perfect miracle Of m.ter-
nal affection. The children, pleased with
the novely, the presents, and the unusual
indulgence, got along ngreeably enough
Nobody scolded or whipped them, denied
them anything, or sent them to bed before
they wanted to 60. What nice, good folks
they thought the Badges were, and hoped
father and mother would not come home
soon.
But there is an end to al things, as the
sailor said, when the cable ran out and the
whale hauled him overheard.
Three days passed, and Mrs. Badge was
worn out. Everything in the house was top
sy-turvey. The 'desr little Bidges,' a. she
SO often called them, had taken advantage Of
the license allowed them, and made free with
the economy Of the Badge household in Q
manner perfectly frightful. They proved to
be set of young Alarics, and destroyed ev-
erythiug they chose. Lacking parental re-
straint, they raced and shouted through the
house like young 6ends, and quarrelled and
fought and screamed and cried, till Mr..
Badges patience is utterly exhausted. War,
disorder, turmoil sad destruction reigned
under the little Badge administration, and
added to the continual extra labors of Mrs.
Badge. No wonder they wore her ont.
Four days had not been passed before
three or four Of the children had been cuHsd
and spanked for sundry awful misdemeapors;
and then sulks and pertness and gloom
drove away the beauty Of their behaviour,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Badge learned to dislike
children, and sighed for the return Of the
Bidges, and the restoration of peace and
quiet.
Joyous as had been the day of parting,
more joyous to all was the return. There
was a general yell of unaffected delight,
when the Bidges made their appearance
sooner than was expected, on the morning
of the sixth day. Happier than ever were
the house Of Bidge and Badge. They had
learned n lesson Of lasting wisdom in less
than six::days. Memorable week! the recol-
lection Of which was check to their discon-
tent.

A SMUGGLING INCIDENT.

lSlS.-Congress having passed the act
generally called the embargo, an extended
system Of smuggling was the natural result,
in which, am afraid, some Of the inhabit-
ants of Addison took part. Many stories
of hair breadth escapes and keen encounters
with the Custom House officers are told with
a good deal of glee and apparent satisfac-
ton. give one as q specimens:
A smuggler IAN old foxy had a very VAL
liable load of goods to run. He was aware
that the officer of the custom had got wind
of it and was on the lookout. He arranged
that the officer should have information that
on such night, by certain back road, the
expected load would be run. The officer
having made all ready to seize the goods as
they should pass, he secreted himself and
horse in some bushes near the side Of the
road.
1t was clear, cold, starlight night, and
the snow cracked under the sleigh as it came
along about midnight. The officer sprang
to the road and endeavored to secure the
horses by the bit, failing in which he caught
hold of the sleigh. A blow across the 6n-
gers from the butt of the smuggler's whip
made him let 60 as quick as he caught hold,
and his cry of s'stop!'' was answered by the
crack of the smuggler's whip, and the high
melted studs were of like the wind. A
moment suficed for the officer to bring out
his sleigh from its hiding place, and away
they went at John pin speed. After q
chase of six or seven miles the smuggler
was ovcrtaken, and horses, sleigh and load,
consisting of barrels of jamaica rum, were
seized and taken in triumph. The officer
was particularly elated, as the old fox had
never been caught before. On arriving at
the house of the officer, the horses were put in
the barn and fed, barrels rolled into the
house, good breakfast eaten, lad said
to the officer, some Of these barrels is leak
ing, and it don't smell Of rum Bit" The
officer went to examine, and as he smelt of
the liquor that had leaked out, he "smelt 4
rat" and muttered to himself, 'ssold, sold
as sure as fate. and never shall hear the
last of it, "What's that ?'' says the snug
gler coming up. 81 say your rum is MOTH
ing but water,' as with an oath he began to
tumble the barrels out of the door. go,
that's it, is it ?" as with thumb on probos-
els and fingers gyra.ing, the smug,ler says,
"Wal suppose there's no duty on water, 80
guess III take my horses and he jogging
home" Having made all ready for start
he says: "Mr. Officer, guess ri take them
barrels, may want 'em agin you know."-
Thus, while the officer was chasing II load Of
water, the real load, worth hundreds of
dollars, was run on another road and safely
stored at its destination.

There they go;
stalwart men, {who the idlers scorn)-
Ali in row,
Brave as an army Of soldiers. they,
With buckets OF tin,
Copouering the foe they meet each day,
A prize they win. ~
Bloodshed and carnage are not in their trade;
THE battle Of life''
They dcht-with mattock. and axe, and spade
For children and wife,
Singing the songs that their boy hood knew,
With cheerful glee-
Cracking joke on comrade true,
Mischievously.
Each, with his bucket hung by his side
His dinner Within
Cares not straw for the glance Of pride
At his bucket of tin.
Hark! hear his laugh at the pampered born,
With his lordly gait,
And his hands made white by the toll Of slaves,
In their fear and hate!
The man who, honestly, for himself
Earns his daily bread,
Is nobler than he, who with borrowed pelf,
Holds naughty head.
Every stroke from freeman's hand
Makes the world better;
Each furrow he turns in the goodly land
Ioosens q fetter.
Better by far, than the glittering sword,
Is the bucket OF tin,
Back to the right, which is the lord,
The world to win. rF.

And a conscience clear
Health and strength with their JOYS untold,

Honor and praise to the legions strong,
With their buckets oftin;
Nobly they're battling earth's great wrong
God help them to win.

A TALE OF LOvE-AN OLD WIFE T.
SEARCH OF HER YOUNG HUSBAND.

SEARCH OF HER YOUNG HUSBAND.
About six months since an elderly lady of
property, living in Brooklyn, N. Y, who
bought her fashionable wares ut celebrated
dry goods house in Broadway, New York,
became cnamored Of handsome young man
who attened there. After many visits she
decided to invite the man to her magnificent
house in the city of churches. She told him
she wanted to see him on matters of gravest
Importance. He blushed. and more out of
curiosity than admiration, he consented to
visit her. The young man was dazzled at
the magnifcence of the house to which he
been invited, and was entirely lost in con-
iecturing for what purpose he had been
brought thither. The lady after giving her
guest some vinous refreshments, proceeded
to narrate the fact of her long observation
of his respectable conduct, adding that she
had enquired of his employers and found
him to be highly moral and worthy young
man, worthy-of a better situation in society.
She confessed that she had become enamor-
ed of him, not of course for his physical
beauty, but for his moral worth, and finally
wound up by offering him her hand in mar
| riage.
! The lady was on the shady side of Eve and
forty, while the lover was not twenty-five
summers old. The latter was in love, too,
with handsome young lady n,he millinery
department of the same establishment where
he was employed. He fatty refused, not
withstanding that she had some fifty thou.
sand dollars which she could place in his
hands. After several interviews. the widow
gradually won the young man to her views;
and he finally consented to and did marry
her. After the marriage, she refused to
make over her real estate to her husband,
and this displeased him. About week
ago, the =" Benedict" though, he would take
a trip to the country, to see a few friends.
His wife consented; but, in u few days, he
not returning, she concluded the bird had
flown. She started in pursuit Of him, and
learned that the young lady accompanied
him in his fight. The old lady arrived in
this city, and consulted with an experienced
detective, who put her, after some inquiries,
on the track Of the guilty., pair, who had gone
further West. The wife says she Is now
prepared to give him full control OF all her
property if he will but return alone to his
home.

O. A western editor lately offered his
hat as prize for the best essay on Inde-
pendence. The following obtained the
prize:
National Independence is easier imagined
than described. Personal independence
consists emphatically in being suited in a
clean shirt, drawers, socks, and nicely
lar and clean cambria in your pocket, all
on Sunday morning with your wife on one
arm and your baby on the other, taking
your own course towards your own preach
er, in the blissful expectation of doing your
own snoozing, in your own pew, wherein no
one dare venture to nudge you with his el-
bow or tickle your nose with straw.

c. 1t appears from the subjoined adver-
tisement, which we copy from an old Boston
newspaper, that cigars first come into fash

brought from Havana, a very rare arti.
Gle! The best of tobacco rolled up to the
size of small finger, and of about five
