he always returned victorious. At length
he was flung from the saddle of his indiffer-

Angelica, the fairest maiden in .the land

incongruity of an union between May and
December, led her to the nuptial altar
fortunately, Angelica was as modest as she
was fair, and her firm virtue repulsed the
numerous butterflies that swarmed round
the opening flowers of her beauty Sir
Hugo knew the tried virtues of his consort
and therefore she was to him dear and pre-
cious as the apple of his eye.
One morning he rode to pay visit to a
neighboring baron in arms, his honest
squire Conrade trotting after him. Scarce

knight suddenly stopped and cried

AN AMUSING STORY.

Hooper the editor of the Montgomery
Gala. Mail, and the well-known author of
Simon suggs, tells the following yarn:
Shall 1 tell you bit Of story, having
no connection with politics, this hot, dry
weather? By permission
Old Col. D., of the Mobile district,
was one of the most singular characters ever
known in Alabama. He was testy and &C.
centric, but possessed many fine qualities,
which were fully appreciated by the people
Of the district. Many of his freaks are
fresh in the memory of the old 'uns Of Mo-
bile; and all will tell that the Colonel thoug h
hard to beat, was once terribly taken in by
a couple of legal tyros. Gen. Woodward,
I believe, tells the story; but however that
may be, it is in keeping with the others re-
lated Of the old gentleman.
It seems that Colonel D. had a mis-
understanding with the two gentlemen allud-
ed to, and was not on speaking terms with
them although all three were professionally
riding the same circuit pretty much togeth-
er. The young ones being well aware OF
the Colonels irascible nature, determined,
when they left one of the courts for anoth-
er, to have some fun by the way at his ex-
pense. They accordingly got about half an
hours start in leaving and presently arriv-
ed at dark, broad stream, that looked as
though it might be dozen feet deep, but
in reality not more than as many inches
Crossing it they alighted, and pulling of
their coats and boots, sat quietly down tc
watch for old "Tartar."
jogging along at length came the old
fellow. He looked first at the youngsters,
who were gravely drawing on their boots
and coats, as if they had just had swim,
and then looked at the broad creek that
rolled before him like a translucent star
The Colonel was puzzled.
lis this creek swimming?" he growleo
after pause of some minutes.
No reply was made young men sim
Eply mounted their horses and rode off some
little distance and stopped to watch our hero
The Colonel slowly divested himself o1
coat, boots, pantaloons and drawers. These
he nicely tied up in his handkerchief ano
hung them on the horn of his saddle, ther
he remounted, and as he was short fat
man, with a paunch of rather inordinate
size, rather inadequate legs, face like a
withered apple, and brown wig, there is
no doubt he made an interesting picture as
he bestrode his steed, with the breeze hold
ing gentle dalliance with the extremity oi
his only garment.
Slowly and cautiously the old gentleman
took the creek. Half a length and the wa
ter was not fetlock deep. Here the horse
stopped to drink. A length and half and
the stream was no deeper. Thirty feet far
ther and a decided shoaling.
Here Col D. reined to.
''There must" said he, be ID of a
deep channel between this and the bank
see how itruns Well dash through here. %

COUNTRY, GIRLS.


Dear country girls, SO highly bless'd
With natures richest fare;
Your homes around in beauty dressd
With fruits and flowers fair
Then why not cling to rural ways,
So honored years ago;
When country maidens won the praise
Ger city bellies for show.
Our mothers once were blooming girls,
And raked the hay and grain;
Undecked with ribbons, lace and curIs,
Yet they true loves could gain.
Your foolish fashions fright the men
They will not marry you,
They say a wife they can't maintain,
While you this course pursue.
Many worthy man now goes
A brooding, lonely life,
Because he hates the ssfur-belows"
It takes to deck a wife.
The maidens of last century wore
Their own nice home made stuff
With silken bonnets plain before,
Looked beautiful enough.
They had no nicely papered walls,
Nor carpets soft and fine;
Their brightest aim was usefulness,
With modest worth to shine
So blithe would they to milking 60,
Or rake the grain and hay;
And slide upon sleds upon the snow
Good happy hearts had they.
They need no exciting scenes,
10 keep their spirits warm:
The humming of their spinning wheels
Could. always bring charm.
And round upon the whites walls {.
The yarn in punches hung;
When young men made their calls,
The maidens spun and sung.
Oh, happy days, so long gone by!
Can they not be restored,
~ And let the useful pageantry
Of folly be ignored?
Then might you win partner dear,
Who would be good and kind;
The tolls of life with you to share,
And happy homes to find.

UNREQUITED AFFECTION.

And loveliest spot Of earth farewell, Ionia
Be thou still free and beautiful, and far
Aloof from desolation Il My last prayer
Was for thee, my last. thoughts save one wei
of thee! [Byron's Sardanapazus.
Z Well might the Ionian maiden love
That loveliest spot of earth
We'll might her dying thoughts recall
The land that gave her birth.
8 No wonder that her mind reverts
To where her kindred dwell
No wonder that her tears should fall
.a1 When called to say-"Farewen."
But what are all the ties that bind
The heart to patrial soil
Or what the joys of maidenhood
Spent in that land of toll -
Which could such parting grief produce,
s Or cause such bitter .sighs,
As when affections cords are broke,
And sundered kindred ties.
All! who-unfelt- know the pangs
Which pierce the inmost SOUL
Or tell with what Overwhelming force
- The waves of sorrow roll
When from the hearts endeared embrace
Its second sell is tOrn,-
By ruthless deaths unsparing hand
4ss.. Made esolate-ferla larnl
But yet the heart bereaved may find
Some solace in the thought,
That earthly ties-by God approved
In heaven are not forgot.
Beyond the tomb affections seal
Awaits the absent one,
Where kindred spirits reunite
And parting is unknown.
But oh I! a.deeper pang is felt,
A keener blow is given
With anguish unconceived before,
The stricken heart is riven-
When on the altar of its love
It's choicest gift is laid;
I And then compelled to feel the pang-
Affection unrepaid.
The depths Of feeling then are known,
What point below-above;
The hearts capacity of grief
But measures then its love.
Reciprocated love hath joys
As pure as seraphs know;
But oh! to love, and not be loved,
Is keenest earthly wo.

dent old gentleman, as said, turns out to be
no other than the veritable London Punch
himself, in his matchless merriment and 10
cose Estyle, layeth down his prudent di-
rections as follows:
Always sit next to the carver, if you can,
at dinner.
Ask no woman her age
Be civil to all uncles and aunts.
Never joke with policeman.
Take no notes or gold with you to fan
| cy bazaar-nothing but silver.
Your oldest hat, of course for an evening
party.
Don't play at chess with widow.
Never contradict man who shutters.
Make friends with the steward on board
steamer; there's no knowing how soon you
may be placed in his power
In every strange house it is well to in
quire where the brandy is kept-only think
if you were taken i'll in the middle of the
night!
Keep your own secrets. Tell no human
being you dye your whiskers.
Write not one more letter than you can
help. The man who keeps up large cor
respondence is a martyr tied, not to the stake,
but to the post.
Wind up your conduct, like your watch,
once a day, examining minutely whether
you are fast or ''slow"

PAT AND THE CART "A Hibernian, fresh
from the Green Isle, having sufficient means
to provide himself with horse and cart,
the latter kind he probably had not seen, be-
fore, he went to work on public road.
Being directed by the overseer to move
pile of stones near-by, and deposit them in
gulley at the side of the road, he forth
with loaded his cart, drove UP to the place,
and had nearly finished throwing out his
load ''by hand" when the ''bess'' told him
that was not the way-that he must tilt or
dump his load all at once.
Paddy replied that he would do SO next
time.
After loading again, he drove up to the
chasm, put his shoulder to the hub Of the
wheel, and upset the cart, horse and all in
to the gulley
Scratching his head, and looking doubt
fully at his struggling horse below him, he
observed that it must be a mighty expediti-
GUS way, but, "Begorra, it must be mighty
trying to the baste."
~tSir," said little clustering man to
religious opponent, ''to what sect do you
suppose I belong?" =.
"Well, I don't exactly know" replied
the other ''but to judge from your size and
appearance, should think you belonged to
the class generally called insects"
