COUNT OTTO AND HIS BRIDE

j. Stirling Coync, in pleasant Christians
article for the Christmas Supplement of tho
London Illustrated News, tells this quaint lc
gend from the German, as dating as far back
rs the seventeenth century:
You may have observed the ruins of an ole
castle, about half league hence, on the road tc
Strasbourg. There is nothing rcmarkabl in
them, except the massive castle gate above
which, deep sunk in the stone, and ms clear
and sharply defined sifeyecutcd but yesterday
is the impress of q small, delicate hand One
OF the early lords of the castle was Count O { &c
Won Gorgas young, handsome and gallant
knight, whose sole delight was in the exciting
pleasures OF the chase So devoted, indeed
was he to his favorite pursuit that love could
find no entrance to his heart, and the farest
damscs siged IN vain for tender glance or
soft speech from the insensible young Nimrod
AT length his indifference to the sex had be.
come SO notorious that all the mannnvri no
mothers Gu the banks of the Rhine had civ en-
UP in despair the idea Of securing him ms a
match for their daughters; while the disappoin
ted maidens, in revenge for his inscnsibility to
their charms, gave him the name of ST einher /.
zig (stonyhearted), by which he became gene r.
ally known. The Count, however, only laugh,
ed at the anger of the ladies, and contiaued ~
kill with his own hand so much game that the
retainers at the castle made it special condi.
ton on entering his service that they shou Id
not be compelled to eat venison or wild boar
hams more than four days in the week One
Christmas eve that Count Otto. in honor of the
festival, had ordered a battue in the forest that
then surrounded his castle, the sport was 50
exciting that at the close of the day he foun d
himself, separated from his followers i'm re.
mote part of the forest, close to deep clear
spring, known to the country people as the
Fairy's Well. His hands being stained wit
the blood Of slaughtered wild bears he dis,
mounted from his horse to wash them in the
fountain Although the weather was cold, and
white frost lay upon the dead leaves that Gov.
cred the ground, Connt Otto found to his sur
prise the water of the well singularly warm and
pleasant A delicious sensation seemed torun
through his veins, and, plunging his arms deep
or into the limped spring, he fancicd he felt his
right hand clasped by another small soft hand,
and the gold ring which he wore gently drawn
from his finger. Although annoyed by his loss,
the Count thought the ring might have acct
dentally slipped from his finger; bnt, the vel
being very deep, and the day fast closing in
he remounted his horse and rode back to his
castle, resolving in the morning to have the
Fairys We'll cmpticd by his servants, little

THE LIGHT AT HOME.

The light at home! how bright 1t beams
When evening shades around us fall
And from the lattice far it CLEANS,
To love, and rest, and comfort oil
When wearied with the tolls of day,
And strife for glory, gold or fame
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp Our name
Around the light at home
When through the dark and stormy night,
The hayward wanderer homeward flies,
How cheering is that twinkling light,
Which through the forest gloon he spies
II is the light Of home. He feels
That loving hearts will greet him there;
And safely through his bosom steals
The JOY and love that banished are
Around the light ut home
The light at home how still and sweet
II peeps from yonder cottage door
The weary laborer to greet
When the rough tolls Of day are DER f!
Sad Is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow
And lightenup the heaviest heart
Around the light ut home
The Feliciana Democrat. (Clinton, La.) 1855-186?, 1859-02-12

(Signcd) A FRIEND OF FipEtlry
As the Deacon read this cpisIc, there was n
visible trcmor in his hand. lie polished hi,
eyeglasses with silk hnndkcrch II, and peru
scd it carefully second time. But Deacon
Brown was not the man to swerve from duty,
though it led him where he would not 20. In
II moment he was resolved. Putting the letter
in his hat, and buttoning his coat TO the chin,
he FASTENED down to his hardware store, and
whispering to confidential clerk, he struck his
cane very decidedly on the pave, greeted no
one with his usual good morning" but seemed
absorbed in the contemplation of great pur
pose. Arriving at the scene of his triumph he
stationed his clerk in front Of the house, and
giving the bell knob cautious pull, was soon
admitted by the servant girl The following
dialogue then and there took place:
is Mrs Wisely inn
Eyes, sir; she's in bed sir"
The Deacon here examined his watch ant
muttcrcd, "halfpaSt sevcn." lie then added
How long before Mrs. Wisely will rise
MANN
"Wcll, really, sir can't tell won't You tax,
a seat in the paror!'
NO, thank you-can't stay Did Mrs
Wisely have company last night MANI"
Eyes, sir, believe she did, sir; shc-sh,

Here the girl hushcd, hcsitatcd, and striyin.
TO conceal hrr embarrassment showed plain
" that she would cyadc the true explanation.
The Deacon mtcrposcd, as if to relieve her
; and said:
"'rhc company, suppose, man, was youns
gentleman, II stranger TO you?'
ayes, sir, | believe he is, sir"
is that young gentleman in the house now
MANI
10 be sure, sir
"Wi you be SO kind to state in what par
Of the housc?'
"lic is in Mrs, Wiscly's bedroom, sir"
The Deacon's manner had by this time be
come greatly excited, and he gaspcd out:
"Can il be. can it be-"
The maid, failing TO comprehend the Dca
con, inquired:
Can what br?'
why, that young gentleman is, at thi
very moment -"
But yon know, sir, he is very young an,
very little gentleman too, sir"
What DO you mean ny his being very lit

WHY, laint you heard, sir, that Mrs Wise
y has got u baby, sir--a nice fine boy
weighs nine pounds, SIR
The old gentleman seemed. as the phrase is
thnndcrstrnck. He was, for once in his If,
favored with a lucid interval, and he saw b,
the light Of it that he was sold Saying tia

Deacon Brown is one of the kinlest sort o.
men, he takes as much interest in other pco
pies affairs as he does in his own, if not more
Elder Wisely, belonging to the same church
had to leave home for several weeks on bust
ness, leaving a handsome wife behind Some
days after he started, Deacon Brown received
the following note:

THE REASON WHY?

DO you wish to know the reason
Why your ncighbor often calls
On the dashiug Widow wilkins,
And attends her to the balls?
Why his carriage Is seen stopping
At some noted clothing store,
And the widow goes shopping
Where she never went before?
If you wish it. will tell you--
Let me whisper to you sly
If they esteem il proper,
II Is not your business mhy.
Do you wish to know why Peter
Has for>akcn friends aud home,
And left his native country
In distant land to roam?
Why Polly seems so lonely
Since the day that Peter left,
And of all friends, she the only
Should appear to be bcrefty
If you wish II, will tell you
Let me whisper to you sly
If they have reason for it,
tits not your business phn
Would yon like to know the secrets
vi sOuf helphbbi 'h'liS' aIu i'' :
How he lives. and how he doesn't
And how he treats his wife?
How he spends his time or leisure,
Whether scrrowfiil or gay,
And where he goes for pleasure,
To the concert or to the play
Ifyou wish it. will TIL you--
Let me whisper to you sly
If your ncighbor is but civil,
Itisnot your business why.
In short, instead of prying
Into other folks affairs,
II you do your own but justice
l'ou will have no time for theirs.
Be attentive 10 such matters
As concern yourself alone,
And whatever fortune ilatters,
Let your business be your o,rn.
One word by way Of fms
Let me whisper to You sly
If you wish to be respected
You must cease to be apry.

Col. L. J. WELLS AccEprANcE.-Despite
the knowledge of some OF the savans Of the
Democracy that Col. WELLS would not ac-
cept the Opposition nomination, the follow
ing extract from his letter to Hon. H. M.
SUMMERS, will fully settle the matter:
TIE reasons urged upon me in your letter
are of a character that a persistence in my
previous determination, would render me OBJ
%noxious to a charge of lukewarmness in the
glorious cause of the Opposition, and in the
patriotic desire to see my native State re-
deemed, regenerated and disenthralIed" from
the degrading and corrupting misrule of Sill
dellism.
l say then, sir, let my name which you
have so much honored, stand where you have
placed it-at the head of a noble list of pat
riots-all honest, faithful and capable.D-
Ours is the cause of the people, the laws, and
the constitution, and it MUST and WILL tri-
umph.
Your obedient servant,
T. J. WELLS.
