A Yankee Trick.

A week or too ago four creditors started from
Boston in the some train of cars, for the purpose
of attaching the property of a certain debtor in
the State of Maine. He owed each one sepa-
rately, and each was suspicious of the object of
the other, but dared not say word about it,
So they rode, acquaintances all, talking upon
every thing except that which they had most at
heart. When they arrived at the depot at Far
mington, which was three miles from where the
debtor did business they found nothing to "put
them over the road" but a solitary cab, toward
which they all rushed. Three got in and refus-
ed admittance to the fourth, and the cab started.
The fourth ran after and got upon the outside
with the driver. He asked the driver if he
wanted to sell his horse. He replied that he did
not want to-that he was not worth more than
$50, but he would not sell him for that. He
asked him if he would take 800 for him.
EYES," said he. The fourth man quickly paid
over the money, took the reins and backed the
cab up to a bank-slipped it from the harness
and tipped it SO that the door could not be oper-
ed, and jumped upon the horses back and rode
off while the ''insiders" were looking out of the
window feeling like snged cats. He rode to a
lawyers and got a writ made and served and
his debt secure, and got back to the hotel just
as the ''insders'' came up putting and blowing.
The cabman soon bought back his horse for
$50. The 'sold' men offered to pay the sum,
if the fortunate one, who found property suffi-
cent to pay his own debt, would not tell of it
in Boston.

Can YOU Eat Crow 2"

Lake Mahopac was at the season so much
crowded, or rather the hotels in its immediate
vicinity were, that the farm houses were filled
with visitors. One Of the worthy farmers resid-
ing there was especially worried almost to deatl
by boarders. They found fault with his table
this thing was bad and that wasn't fit to eat
"Darn it," said old Isaac, one day, "what
fuss you are making, / can eat nything"
"Can you eat crow p said one of his young
boarders.
eyes, kin eat crow
"Bet you hat"
The bet was made, crow caught, and nicely
roasted. but before serving up, they contrived
to season it with a good dose of Scotch snuff.
Isaac sat down to the crow. lie took bite
and began to chew away.
''To be sure kin eat crow" Another bite
and an awful face eyes, kin eat-crow-
Symptoms of nausea, }-I-kin-eat-crow but

Poor Isaac arose from the crow feast in some
what of a hurry and bolted towards the back
of the house.

their most faithful and tried members, after
undergoing due probation, take charge of
their religious interests in manner some
what similar to the customs prevailing among
the Society of Friends in our own State
Their whole number in Syria has been es-
timated to be about 10000. Having at
different periods been prosecuted by the
Mahommedans, engaged in many wars with
their rivals, the Maronites, and repeatedly
called to take up arms in self-defence, they
are essentially warlike race, and every boy
becomes, at an early age, expert in the use
Of the lance, the dagger, the sword, and the
gun. They have been, if possible, more
tenacious in preserving their peculiar rcli
gion, even when completely surrounded by
the influence Of other sects, than the Jews.
The Maronites are also a warlike people.
every man being almost constantly armed,
and ready to defend himself or country from
attack. They are a sect of Eastern Chris
tians, first formed, it is supposed, about the
conclusion of the seventh century They
differed from the church of that era, by con-
tending that the Saviour. although he might
be supposed to have two wills because he
had two natures, had, in reality, only one
will, because it was absurd to suppose there
should be two free wills in one and the same
person. This heresy fell under the condem-
nation of General Council in $50, because
it was supposed to destroy the humanity of
Jesus Christ, depriving it of will and opera
ton.
The Syrian mountaineers having embrac-
named John Marc, the name of Maronites
has ever since adhered to them. In the
twelfth century they renowned their former
distinctive faith, and then became subject
to the jurisdiction Of the Pope, for whom
they have great reverence but their priests
still marry, as in ancient times, and they
elect local religious ruler, with the title of
batrak, or patriarch Of Antioch.

A DOUBLE CoMPLIMENr.-An action was
brought in the Bristol County Court to recover
the value of two casks herrngs supplied in
1854. and on the judge asking the reason of the
unusual delay, the plaintiff said he had lost sight
of the defendant for some time and when he did
find him he could get no settlement. He re-
peatedly asked defendant for payment, and the
latter at length told him to ego to the devil,
upon which the plaintiff said, Il thought it high
time to come to your Honor" remark which
was received with roars of laughter, in which
the learned judge joined.

1T SEEMS BUT YESTERDAY.

1t seems but yesterday, my love,
Since chattering side by side,
We oft were wont to stray, my love,
At mellow evcntide;
And careless pluck the closing flowers,
Or watch the setting sun.
Scarce dreaming in those blissful hours,
Life's battle had begun;
For yet no thorny cares or fears
Had crossed our youthful way,
Though fled since then have many years,
1t seems but yesterday, my love,
1t seems but yesterday.
1t seems but yesterday, my love,
Though many years are gone, =
Since loved ones heard us say, my love,
The words that made us one.
We now our children's children see
Go forth to seek the flowers,
Reminding us of days when we
Oft WANDERED for tn with ours,
When thorny cares and anxious fears
Began to cross our way;
Though fled since then have many years,
It seems but yesterday, my love,
1t seems but yesterday.
