II Story ofhe Last Century,
By WASHINGTON IRVING.

As Tom waxed old. however, he grew
thouohiCul. Having secured the good
thing. of this world, he began TO feel anX-

regret on the bargain he had made With
his black friend, and put his wits TO work

tell when he sIbned mosI during The week
by the clamnr of his Sunday devotion.
The quiet Christians, vhO had been mod
esdy and quietly travelling ZlonWard were
struck with se!-repr oach a: seeing them
selves so suddenly ouistrlPped in their
career by this new-made convert. Tom
was as rigid in religion sS in money mat
tiers. He was stern supervisor aud CEN
surer Of his neghbors, and seened to
think every sin entered upon their &C
count became credit on his page. lie
talked Of the eXpediency Of reVIVIaE the
persecution of the Quakers aud AnaoaP-
lists. In word, TOMS zeal became as
his riches.
Sull, in spite Of his strenuous attention

said he always carried a small Bl0Ie III
his pocket. He also had great folio BI'
bic In his counung.hou desk, and would
frequently be found reading when people
called on business ; on such occasions he
would lay his green speciacIes on the
book to mark the place, while he turned
around 10 drive some usurious bargain.
Some say T0m grew little crack
brained in his Older days, and that, fancy
ing his end approaching, he had his horse
newly shod, saddled. and buried with his
feet uppermost, because that at the las,
dsy, the world would be turned upside
down, in wbrch case he would find IL
horse ready ioI ma""t."5. and he was de-
tgrmined al the worst to give his friend
run for it. This. however. is probably a
mere old wiEe's tale. II he really did
take that precautl0n. il was totally super
fluous-al least, so saws the authentic old
legend, which closes his story in the fol-
loving manner:

NIGHT.

Gently, o Night as falling snow
Der closing flowers and waters flow,
Thy wing is cast;
And calm and deep thy shadows lie,
As early thoughts cannot die,
Within The past.
And now in yon blue vault on high
The countless priesthood of The sky,
Serene and stll,
The holy incense, pure and free,
Reflect from Eternity,
Their censoEs fill.
Whence CONTEST thou, o solemn Night !
Win speaking winds and worlds oil llgh
A wOnd' rous band
Thy presence wins. as sunbeams dew
Ny souls deep aspirations 10
The Spirit Land.
Dim with the hues Of early birth,
And heavy with The dust Of earth,
The weight Of life,
My struggling spirit draws from thee
Power to contend with destiny
Strength for the strife.
Thy shadows DER my burning brain,
Fall as the drops Of cooling rain
On the parched dust,
And grateful kneel down TO pray
For a brave heart to tread I.iie's way
For changeless trust
