"Kerridge, Sir 2"

Last week gentleman from the West, yisi
ting Boston for the first time, to attend th'
Trade Sales, arrived via the land route from
New York about midnight. On leaving tn.
train he secured the services of hackman
and directed him to drive to the United State!
Hotel Jarvey seized his yaiise, packed hi
passenger into the coach with unusual aIacrity
and leaped upon his box, cracked his whip
and ratified off through the almost deserted
streets at spanking rate. Away they wen
up one street and down another, until at las
the painting horses were reigned up before the
broad portico of the United States.
"How much, driver p inquired the passen.
ger.
Fifty cents, sir-regular fare, sir. Al
we're 'low'd ter charge, sir" replied Jarvey
politely.
"Ah! very reasonable was the satisfied
remark as he paid over the half dollar; "and
here's dime extra for driving me so quickly
Coachy grinned his thanks, leaped upon
his vehicle and ratified of.
Next morning our western friend received
a eaf from one of his Boston acquaintances
and in course of conversation, happened t.
mentioned his arrival the night previous and
his ride up to the hotel.
"Ride up! !" exclaimed his friend. "Why
you don't mean to say you rode to this hons.
from the western depot p
Certainly 60. You don't think / would
walk all that distance do you p
Cali that distance" repeated the other, ey-
ing the vigorous UNDERMINING Of his friend.
"Why how far from here do you suppose the
railroad station is p
Judging from the ride, about mile How
Ear is it ?''
@Just across the street-possibly ten steps
lit may be dozen" was the reply of the
other, as he pointed to the station from the
window. "You have been the victim of a
hack driver. These men are becoming as
bad as their brethren in New York"
mo sir" was the decided reply. There
was circumstance about that ride which
would have made me sure / was in Boston
and not in New York;
"What was it p asked the other.
Why the driuer charged me fifty cents in
stead of .fre dollars.''-Connaercia Bulletin.

THE NOON Is UP.


Behold earth's fair and timid bride
La robes of light is seen;
Behind yOn siiyery vapor giides
This young and lovely Queen
How lizhtly rests that fescy cloud
Like ssft Illusion spread
To veil from sight this shrinking bride,
Who droops her jeUelied head.
The lambeut wave now floats along,
And leaves her pale face bare;
That she may visa earthis Absery plain,
And brs9the its perfamed air.
Her pure white brow is deck'd with pearls.
Her locks unfsttersd dow
In graceful waves sround her neck,
And shade her breast Of snow.
A host of stars are glittering round
Her car Of silver light;
See 1 how they cieaFe yon towering arch.
And watch her onward fight
In wonder mute, they fix their gaze 2
0a her, 50 young and lair,
Guiding her chariot through the tarong
With graceful, oaeen-like air.
On. on she rides-nor looks around,
To view the countless train,
Still eoursing through the vauited sky,
AbSEe the heavingmain
Her sesptre bright, slowly waves,
Der heaven and earth and sea
And deigns to kiss With her last rays,
Each shrub and flower and tree.
Gently she folds her mantle round
Her arms of purest light;
While Ger her face, she casts her veil,
And bids the world goodnight.
Adieu sweet moon, til thou returni
Col TO thy couch Of restl
Lay thy pale cheek in slumbers soft.
On oceans waving breast!

Polygamy.

Horace Greedy thus discourses in one Of
his late letters in relation to this peculiar In
stitution in Utah
do not believe the pluralwife system can
long endure yet almost every man with
whom conversed on the subject seems in
tensely, fanatically devoted to it, deeming this
the choicest of his earthly blessings. With
the women, am confident it is otherwise
and watched their faces as Elder Taylor, at
social gathering on Saturday night, was ex-
patiating humorously on this feature of the
Mormon system, to the great delight of the
men; but not one responsive smile did see
on the face Of . woman. On the contrary, !
thought they seemed generally to wish the
subject had been passed over in silence. Fam
aticism and belief that we are Gods especial
exclusive fayorites, will carry most Of us q
great way but the natural instinct in every
woman's breast must teach her that to be
some ones third or fourth wife is to be no
wife at all | asked my next neighbor the
name of a fair young girl who sat some dis.
lance from US with babe on her knee. THAT
is one of Judge Smiths ladies' was his quiet
matter-ofcourse answer. Of course, no NO.
man spoke publicly believe none ever
speak in Mormon assemblage-and shall
not ask any one her private opinion of Polyg-
amy; but think l can read an unfayorabIe
one on many faces.
Yet polygamy is one main pillar of the
Mormon Church. He who has two or more
wives rarely apostacizes, as he could hardly re.
main here IN safety and comfort as I'm Ipus-
tate, and dare not take his wives elsewhere. I
have heard of but single instance in which
man with three wives renowned Mormonism
and left for California, where he experienced
no difficulty "for,'' said my informant (awo-
man, "he introduced his two younger wives
girls Of nineteen and fourteen) as his daugh-
tiers, and married them both off IN the course
Of six weeks"
/ am assured by Gentiles that there is
large business done here in uamarTying as
well as marrying some Of them assure me
that the church exacts fee of SO on the
marriage of each wife after the first, but char
ges still heavier fee for divorcing. I do not
know that this is true, and suspect my infor-
mants were no wiser in the premises than |
am. But it certainly looks to me as though
rich dignitary in the church has Ereer and
fuller range for the selection Of his sixth or
eighth wife than a poor young man Of ordin-
airy standing has for choosing his first. And
infer that the more sharp sighted young men
viii not railways be content with this.

OF A SoPHIsT, wishing to puzzle. Thales
the Milesian, one of the wise men of Greece,
proposed to him in rapid succession these diff
cult questions. The Philosopher replied to
them all without the least hesitation, and
with how much. propriety and decision our
readers can judge for themselves
What IS the oldest of all things
God because he has always existed
What is the beautiful ?
The World because it is the work of God
What is the greatest of all things?
Space because it contains all that IS crea-
ted.
What is the quickest Of all things
Thought because in momentit can Il,
to the end of the universe.
What is strongest ?
Necessity because it makes men face al
the dangers of life.
What is the most difficult
To know thyself
What is the most constant Of all things
Hope: because it still remains with maj
after he has lost everything else.

How gecumseh was Killed.

tains an obituary notice by Rev. A. Wright, of
the Ind. II. L. Church, Of Issac Hamblin, Se,
who died at his residence near Bloomfield, Ind
. few months since, aged about IS years. Mr.
Hamblin was man of deep piety and I'M
questionable veracity. He was in the battle
OF the Thames, and the writer gives the fol-
lowing a. his statement in regard to the man
in which Tecumseh was killed
he says he was standing but few feet
from Col. johnson when he fell, and in full
view, and saw the whole Of that part of the
battle. He was well acquainted with Tecum-
sch, having seen him before the war; and hay
ing been . prisoner seventeen days, and re-
ceived many Accusing from him. He thinks
that Teeumseh thought johnson was Harri-
son. as he often heard the chief swear that he
would have Harrison's scalp, and seemed to
have special hatred toward him. Jehnson's
horse fell under him, he himself being also
deeply wounded in the Gall he lost his sword
his large pistols were empty, and be was en-
tangled with bis horse on the grounds. Te-
cumseh had fired his rife at him, and when
he saw him fall, he threw downhis gun, and
bounded forward like tiger sureof his prey.

love to wander hzily,
When peeps the white moon hazily
Above the clouds which mazily
The arch Of heaven drape;
When comes the soft breeze hushingl.
When flows the streamlet gushingly,
In which the fair moon blushingly
Surveys her beauteous shape.
Then sallying BY mountains,
And dsllying BY fountains
This, this is what / love.

When gliBts the morning beamily,
When shines the bright sun gieamily
Upon the hills of blue!
When up the lark goes soaringiy,

And pours his song imploringly,
As asking to pass through.
Then wandering by orchards,
And bordering by churehyards-

The Deacon and the Irishman.


Under this head we find the following
amusing story going the rounds:
A few months agoas Mr.. Ingalls,, Of swamp
scott, R. l., was travelling through the West
ern part of the State of New York, he fell in
with an Irishman who had lately arrived in
this country, and was in quest Of brother
who came before him and settled in that VI
cinity.
Pat was a strong, athletic man. true Catho-
lie, and had never seen interior Of a Protestant
Church. 1t was pleasant Sunday morning
that brother Ingalls, met Pat, who inquired the
road to the nearest church. ingalls, was
GOOD and pious man. He told Pat he was 60
ing to church himself and invited his new
made acquaintance to keep him company thith-
er CHS place Of destination being small Metho-
dist meeting house near by.) There was a
great revival there at the time, and one Of the
Deacons, (who by the way was very small in
satue,) invited Ingalls, to a seat in his pew.
He accepted the invitation and walked in, fol-
lowed by Pat, who looked in vain to find the
altar, &c. After he was seated, he turned to
brother Ingalls, and in whisper which could
be heard all round, inquired
Sure, an isn't this hiritick church ?
'Hush,' said ingalls,, IF you speak loud
word, they viii put you out
And faith, not word will speak, at all,
replied Pat.
The meeting was opened with prayer
by the pastor. Pat was cycling him very
closely, when an old gentleman who was
standing in the pew directly in front of Pat,
shouted Glory
Hist, We clear Demon rejoined Pat with
his loud whisper, which was plainly heard by
the minis ,er, be dacent, and don't make a
BLACKBOARD Of yourself
The parson grew more feryent In his deyo-
tons. Presently the deacon uttered an audi
BILE groan. Hist-s-t, We BLACKBOARD, have you
no dacancy at all, at all !? said Pat, at the
same moment giving the Deacon punch IN
the ribs which caused him nearly to lose his
equilibrium. The minister stopped, and ex-
tending his hand in supplica ting manner,
said
Brethren, we cannot be disturbed IN tins
way. Will some one put that man out
'Yis, your rvirence, shouted PAT, I will!
and suiting the action to the word, he collared
the Deacon, and to the utter borrow and as
constituent of the pastor, brother ingalls,,
and the whole congregation, he dragged him
through the ailse, and with tremendous kick
he landed him in the yestibule of the church.

datiop Of its magical effects and medical virtues.
We speak in this matter "what we do know" after
ten years experience, and pledge our reputation for

every instance where the infant is suffering from
