The Quaker's Corn Crib.

A MAN had been in the habit of stealing corn
from his neighbor, who was Quaker. Every
night no would go sefllY to the crib and fill his
bag with the ears which the good old Quaker's
toll had placed there. Every morning the old
gentleman observed diminutIon OF his corn
piles. This was very annoying, and must be
stopped-but how! Many One would have
said: "Take gun. conceal yourself wait till
he comes and fre." Others would have said,
Catch the villain and have him sent TO JAIL"
But the Quaker was not prepared to enter
into any such severe measures. He wanted to
punish the offender, and at the same time bring
about his reformation' IL possible. So he fixed
a sort of trap close TO the hole, through which
the man would thrust his arm in getting the
corn.

Mr.. EDITOR Allow me the indulgence Of
your columns to make an apology. 1t is ru
mored about that one or two gentlemen Of the
Debating Society of our village have taken
offense at some remarks in my letter published
in the "TIMEs" of Nov. Both, charging me
with making game at certain members, and of
crlticizing their debates. Nothing could have
been further from my intention than any such
course. | thought only of creating a little
merrIment among the members and people,
and exciting their curiosity as to who it could
be taking notes among them and putting them
in print. One of the gentlemen whom, it is
said, has take most umbrGge, is a value1 per.
sonal friend, and whose good qualities Uf head
and heart have endeared him TO all who have
the pleasure of his acquaintance. Certainly,

manner, any design or thought of rejecting
upon him, and this applies not only to him, but
to the Society, collectively and individually -

dent of the Society does not like the article
Ii anything could increase my concern, at this
untoward state of things, this would do so.-
| This gentleman, the Hon. Alex. Wilson, has
lately become resident in our neighborhood,
having purchased the valuable Brscoe estate
from Edwin Wilmer, Esq. He represented his
late district in our last State Legislature, and

manner and kind, gentlemanly department, he
has rendered himself universally beloved.
could not set myself up to criticize such people
as these. So far from casting any slur or in.
uendo against this Society, if go obscure an in
dlvdual may express himself, highly approve
of it, and think it an excellent manner of spend
ing our long winter evenings, by improving
the speech and manner of young gentlemen
and melting them to diligence in study anC

than reading wishy-washy love novels, o.
talking everlastingly about their 2.40 nags..-

CHOICE POETRY.
The Union.
BY LoNGFELLow

Thou too, sail on, o Ship of State,
Sail on, o Union, strong and great!
Humanity, with all it's fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate
We know what master laid thy keel,
What workmen wrought thy ribs of steel,
Who made each mast, and sail, and rope,
What anvil's ring, what hammers beat,
ln what forge and what heat,
Were shaped the anchor of thy Hope
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
IT'S Of The wave, and not the rock,
'Fis but the tapping of the sail,
And not rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock and tempest roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant o'er our fears,
Are ell with thee-are all with thee!
