"TAR ON DE HEEL."~-A gentleman re-
Gently visited plantation near Memphis, Ten
nessee, and at night, when the darkey's work
was done, they assembled to pitch coppers.--
The cents gradually d'"appeared in a very
mysterious manner. Thsmost rigorous search
revealed no clue to them The stock of cop
pors had dwindled foarfuHy, when light seemed
tobrcak upon one of the dsrkies and he yelled ::
f" Dar's niger got tar on his heel !" Great
confusion followed the announcement, and the
darkeys commenced seating each other violent
ly upon the ground. At one time twenty
darkeys were seated on the ground, while
twenty more had their legs in the air, looking
at their heels. The miscreant was at last
found. The black wretch wi sought to bring
a time honorcd and heathful game into disre-
pute, was finally discovered. An old negro,
who was too lame to indulge in games, and
who had before been dixie Gen. j. Cas.r's
wife) "abovc suspicion" had covered his heels
with tar; Under prctcnce of seeing fair play,
this elderly colorcd person had made himself
very conspicuous among the pitchers, volun-
tecring his service as judge on all disputed
points and all the while the sly old coon was
treading on the coppers. They stuck, of
course and when his tarry heels were turned
up they revealed "a right smart chance" of
cents.

The Lovely Knitter

Like tiny birds with FURNISHED wings.
Just dropping to the sea- waves foam
And bearing from its billowy home,
The snow that to their pmmage clings,
The huttering needles swiftly dip
In soft, white meshes of her work
Where quaint and loving fancies lurk;
The eye bctrays the silent lip.
The tiny needles loop the thread,
Strung with sweet thoughts Of summer hours.
OF sunlight on the fragrant flowers,
OF poems in tho woodland read
With prelude of the wild birds song,
And blending with that warbled tone,
The murmurs, evermorc their own,
That in the pine-tree shadows throng.
And still, mcanderng from the hail.
Fond mcmory's chain unwinds and flows,
Drops here smile and there q rose
And here treasured word lets fall;
So, on she knits in twilight gray;
The past and present, with tho years
Of mornings life. its hopes and fears,
Inwoyen with her dreams to-day.

Lean Year.
ny NED KsoN

BY NED KsoN.
What pest is leap year,
When maids q wooing go,
Searching after husbands
To cure their fanciod woe;
Striving to ontice men
With arts so seeming true
That many are thus captured,
But wouldn't be, would you?
And siucc this year began
ltsprcsent happy reign,
Many loycsick maidens
Have tried Ncd's hand to gain,
But they soon the task gave DER,
They found it would not do
For them 10 do the counting;
can't be cuught; can you?
First there came Miss Paxton,
Whom many sought to win;
For she had II store house
Filled with shining tin;
But with all her treasures
could not love her true,
And so did not marry,
Gold | wouldn't wed, would you?
Next came an ancient maiden,
She was over sixty three,)
Size took a wontirous liking
10 such n youth as ne;
When ilatly refused her,
She turned fairly blue,
She was o'ercomc with anger;
But, / didn't care, would you?
One, a fairy Creole
From n sunny cline,
Stroye with earnest pleading
TO change her name for mine
And though she was so winning,
Had youth ind beauty too,
| did not take fancy.
For could not; could you?
There's Sally. and Gerusha,
Amanda. Polly-Ann,
Fanny, Kate. and Lucy,
Each longing FOR man,
With Emelinc, and Betsy
Sweet Anna Jane and Sue,
All offered me their fortunes,
Which wouldn't take; would you ;
But there is fair one.
Gentle, meek, and kind,
Glanced to discover
Was suited to my mind;
And when | popped the question:"
She promised to be true;
Her soon shall marry.
For would; wouldn't you?

which we find going the rounds of our ex-
changes, but which we don't believe word
ON Y. Day Book.
"The girls of Cohasset make nothing of
going into the water aud bringing out a shark
or 9 mackere by the nose. They dig CLANS
with their toes, and open quoaogs with a
pinch of the fingers. They live chiefly on
sea fare, so that when kissed they taste salt
and when they die are preserved half a cen
tury. Their hair, in their old ago, turns into
dry sea weed, and if they have worn caps in
old age, the cap is stiff and glittering with
crystallizations Of salt; and if you fall in love
with them in their youth, you find yourself
in pickle"

POETRY.



ny s. II. WHITMAN.
love to wander through the woodlands hoary,
In the soft light of an autumual day,
When summer gathers zap her robes of glory,
And like dream of fancy glides away.
How through each loved, familiar path she fingers
Serenely smiling through the golden mist,
Tinting the wild grape with her dewy fingers
Till the cool emerald turns to amethyst
Warm lights are on tho sleepy uplands waning
Beneath dark clouds along the horizon rolled,
Till the slant sunbeams through the fringes raining
Bathe oil the hills in melancholy gold.
Beside the brook and on the umbcred meadow.
Where yellow fern tufts flock the faded ground,
With folded lids, beneath their balny shadow.
The gentian mods, in baimy sumbcrs bound.
The little birds, upon the hill sides lonely,
Fit noiselessly along from spray to spray
Silent as a sweet wandering thought, that only
Shows its bright wings, and mutcly glides away
The sceutlcss flowers in the warm sunlight dream
ing,
Forget to breathe their fullncss of delight;
And through the ranccd woods soft airs arc stream
ing,
Still as the dew fall of summer night

There's somewhat on my brcastl
The livelong day sigh, father,
AT night cannot rest.
/ cannot take my rest, father,
Though would tain do so,
weary weight opprosseth me
The weary weight of woe
'Tis not the laclnof gold, father,
Nor lack of worldly gear;
My lands are broad and fair TO see,
My friends are kind and dear;
My kin are real and true, father, t
They mourn to see my grief,
But oh tits not kinsmans hand
Can give my heart relief!
'Tis not that Jnnets false, father,
IT'S not that she's unkind;
Though busy flatterers swarm around,
know her constant mind.
'Tis not her coldncss, father,
That chills my lnboring breast
