How dear to my heart are the scenes Of my child
hood,
When fond recollection presents them to view
The cheese press the goose. pond, the pigs IN the
wildwood,
And every old stump that my infancy knew:
The big Enkum basswood, with wide spreading
shadow;
The horses that grazed where my grandmother
fell;
The sheep on the mountain, the calves in the
meadow
And all the young kittens we drowned in the
we'll
The meek little kittens, the milk-loving kittens.
The poor little kittens we drowned in the we'll.
remember with pleasure my grandfather's gog-
giles,
Which rode so majestic astraddie his nose;
And the harness oft mended with tow-string ana
Goggles"
That belonged to Old Dolly, now free from her
woes.
And fresh in my heart is the fresh maple wood
pile,
Where often I've worked with beetle and wedge,
Striving to whack up enough to last good WHILE
And rrumbling because my old axe had no
edge.
And there was the kitchen, and pump that stood
night,
Where we sucked up the drink through quill
in the spout;
And the hooks where we hung up the pumpkin to
dryit;
And the old cider pitcher, emo doing without,
The old brown earthen pitcher, the nOzzle-crackd d
pitcher, .,
The pain-easng pitcher, mo doing without
And there was a school-house, away from each
dwelling,
Where school-ma'ams would govern with abso-
lutte sway;
Who taught me my arithmetic" reading and
spelling;
And 'twhaled me like blazes" about every day.
remember the ladder that swung in the passage
Which led to the loft in the peak Of the house..
Where my grandmother hung up her 'pumpkln
and ssssage;'
To keep them away from the rat and the mouse.
But now, far removed from that nook Of creation,
Emotions of grief big as tea-kettles swell,
When Fancy rides back to my old habitation,
And thinks of the kittens we drowned in the
well,
The meek little kittens, the milkloving kittens,
The Door little kittens we drowned in the well.

Hav At one time Ned was raking hay in
the field, the sky was overcast and there was
every appearance of shower.
Come, hurry up, Ned said the DOCTOR
I'VE are going to have rain
Ned stopped raking, leaned lazily on the
handle of his rake, took squint at the
clouds, and said
Shouldn't wonder, Dominic. if we did
have a shower; but think it will be only a
dry rain
"a dry rain,' replied the doctor, 'who ever
heard of dry rain?
Ned put on very quizzically serious face,
and looking at the doctor, inquired:
Dominic, did you ever read the Bible?
you know I do, Ned why do you ask
me such question as that?
sWcll, then, don't you think as how when
it rained fire and birthstone on Sodom and
Gomorrah, it was very dry rain "

SLEEPING WITH THE LANDLORDS WIFE.
We give the annexed incident in regard
to Rev. zeb Twitchell, Methodist clergy
man in full and regular standing, and a
member of the Vermont Conference
At one time he represented Stockbrldge
in the State Legislature. Zeb, says our in-
formant, is a man of fair talents, both as a
preacher and musician. In the pulpit he
is grave, solemn, dignifed and thorough
systematic sermouizer; out of it there is no
man living who is more full of fun and drol-
lery. On one occasion he was vending his
way towards the seat of the Annual Confer
ence of Ministers, in company with another
clergyman. Passing country inn, he re-
marked to the other clergyman:
The last time | stopped at that tavern, |
slept with the landlords wife
In utter amazement, his clerical friend
wanted to know what he meant.
i mean just what say replied Zeb /;
and on went the two travellers in unbroken
silence until they reached the conference.
In the early part of the session, the Con-
ference sat with closed doors for the purpose
of transacting some private business, and cs-
pecially to attend to the annual examination
of each members private character, or rather
conduct, during the past year. For this
purpose the clerk called Zeb's name.
Does any one know aught against the
character Of brother Twitchelf during the
past year?' asked the bishop, who was the
presiding officer.
After moments silence, Zeb's travelling
companion arose with heavy heart and
grave couutenance; said he had duty to
perform-one that he owed to God and the
church, and to himself; he must therefore
discharge it fearlessly, though tremblingly.
He then related what Zeb had told him
while passing the tavern, how he had slept
with the landlords wife, &c.
The grave body of ministers were struck
as with thuuderbolt, althoug h a few smiled
and looked first at Zeb, then upon the bishop
knowingly, for they knew better than the
others the character of the accused.
The bishop called upon brother Twitchell
and asked him what he had to say in rea-
ton to so serious charge. Zeb rose and
said:
Il did the deed I never lie!
Then pausing with an awful seriousness,
he proceeded with slow and solemn delib-
Grafton:
There was one little circumstance, how
ever, connected with the affair did not
name to the brother. 1t may not have much
weight with the conference, but although it
may be deemed of trifing Importance, will
state it. When I slept with the landlords
wife, as I told the brother, I kept the tavern

A Coop ONE.-During the recent session
of our Legislature, proposition was under
discussion to change the time of meeting of
that body, from November to October -
Among other objections was one so supreme
ly ridiculous, that it is worthy of notice -
1t was, so sickly in October, that no one from
the mountains would be willing to come
here at that season! A friend at our elbow
says, that the member must have been as
hard run for an objection, as was the little
boy for not obeying his father, as related in
the following anecdote. A deep snow was
on the ground. Bob was seated in the chin
ney corner, and the fire not burning freely,
the old man said: Bob, can't you 60 out
and rustic up few chips?' No, indeed,
quoth Bob, 'whie l am rustling up chips, |
might rustic up laundering big snake !!
The danger from snakes under the snow, is
equally as probably story, as Raleigh be-
ing sickly at any time.-Spirt Of the Age.

A BIBLICAL REpUTATIoN.-One of the
Museuns's old and valuable correspondents,
Mr.. Lord, who is now residing in Illinois,
was short time since travelling from Jack
sonville to Peoria, in that State, and as he
was passing small hut on the road side, he
noticed shaggy-headeG boy, about eight
years of age, with large eyes and no hat,
dressed il q worn out pair of his fathers
trowsers trying to balance himself on the
splintered top of hickory stump.
More for the purpose Of breaking the mo-
notony of riding all day without speaking,
than to gain information, Mr.. Lord reined
his horse up to the fence, aud exclaimed:
sNIy little boy, can you tell me how far it
is to Sangamon Bottoms!

Lord.

him from snickering throughout the rest of
