'No-I know You didn't, my good man.

The Christmas snow lay white and deep on

led on the hearth, where Mr. Woodbridge still
gazed dreamingly into the glowing cinders,
and Mrs. Keturah's knitting needles clicked
with electric speed
THAT mortgage bothers me-it botherS me, y
he murmured, almost plaintivey. "Well, |
s'poSe it amt no use frettin'; but had always
hoped to live and die on the old place where
my father died before me- The Lords will be
done though. Somehow, things hain't prosp-

You'd got along we'll enough, guess, ,"reS-

forters "if you'd only looked after your ps and

you to-"
"Well, well, Keturah, we never did think
alike on some things" returned the old man.
Let US talk about a pleasanter subject. What
do yon think about our schoolmam's marrying
yeur Mr. Hardwiche tomorrow? Didn't | al

how, I'm glad to hear of Titles Jessie's luck -

Nor ASHAMED OF BUNDLEs.-We have Of
ten heard halfgrown boy say pettishIy to
his mother, " don't like to be seen carving
big bundle in the streets" But true pride
is ashamed Of such littleness of mind. Mr.
Astog the wealthy millionaire of New York
once was reluctant to sell some goods to
young merchant except for cash. The mer-
chant paid for them, and then took them on
his own shoulder to carry to his own store
Mr. Astor looked on in surprise, but before
the merchant had gone many steps, he called
him back saying You may buy on credit
to any amount | can trust you, sir man
who is not ashamed to do his own work is sure
to succeed" Here is an another good lesson
for false pride:
Chief Justice Marshall was great man; but
great men are never proud He was not too
proud to wait on himself. He was in the
habit of going to market himself and carrying
home his purchases. Often would he be
seen going home at sunrise, with poultry in
one hand and vegetables in the other:
On one Of these occasions, a fashionable
voung man from the North, who had removed
to Richmond, swearL5 violently because he
could not find no one to carry home his tur-
key. Jadge Marshell slept up and asked
where he lived. When he heard, he said
- That is my way; will take your turkey
home for you:"
When they came to the house the young
man asked:
"What shall l pay you 2"
"Oh, nothing" said the Judge, " you are
welcome; it was all in my way and it was
no trouble to me-"
"Who is that polite old man who brought
home my turkey for me?" asked the young
man of a bystander.
"Oh," said he, " that was Judge Marshall,
Chief Justice of the United States"
"Why did he bring home my turkey"
" | suppose he did it," said the bystander,

your own business - -MOnthly Casket.

PARsoN BRowNLow ON SEcEssION.-Parson
Brownow of the Knoxville Wing, is evident,
ly not in love with the secessionists, as the fol-
lowing little clipping from his paper amply de-
mOnstrateS:
This machine of government, so delicate
aud complex in its structure, and which cost
its great architects so much labor and thought
so much of the spirit of concession, and com
promise, and our fathers so much of blood and
treasure, is to be broken in pieces to crafty a
set of corrupt, ambitious sanddisappointed dem
agogues, who find that they can never preside
over these United States and hence they seek
to build up one or more contemplate South
erR Conjsderacjss and to place themselves at
the head of these. The fddIiDg aud dane
ing Of Nero, while Rome was enyeloped
in flames, was not more brutal, hellish, stupid
and wicked than is the conduct of these coun-
try destroying God-defying, and helldeserv-
ing traitors to their country, who write and
talk thus fippantly of the most m0mentous
event that the human mind can conceive"

Tow CoRwIN's WT-Whie this capital jo-
ker was a member of the general assembly Of
the Ohio State, he brought in bill for the
abolition of public punishment at the whipping
post. He made speech thereon, to which an
elderly member replied somewhat as follows:
THE gentleman is not as old as | am, and
has not seen so much of the practical opera
tion of the system of punishment which he
desires to abolish. When | lived in Connecti-
cut, if fellow stole horse, or cut up any
other rustic, we used to tie him right up aud
give him a real good thrashiG': and he always
cleared right out, and we never saw him
any more It's the best way of getting rid of
rouegs that ever was tried, and without ex-
pense to the State"
Corwin rose and replied:
"Mr Speaker, have often been pGzzled
to account for the vast emigration from Con
necticut to the west; but the gentleman last
up has explained it to my entire satisfaction"
The bill was passed without further dis
cuSsion.

SHoEING Horses FOR WINTER TRAvEL.-N.
p. Willis of the Home Journal, in one Of his
recent IlleNild letters, says: You will
have discovered, of course, that You cannot
have uninterrupted winter riding with horse
Shod in the ordinary way. The sharp points
of frozen mud will wound the frog of the foot
and with snow on the ground, the hollow hoof
soon collects hard ball, which makes the
footing very insecure. But these evils are re-
meded by piece of sole leather nailed on
under the shoe--a protection to the hoof
which makes surprising difference in the con-
fdence and sur6footedness of the animals

An INGENIOUS Excise BY 4 FoND MoTHER--
A goodly parson complained to an elderly lady
of her congregation that her daughter appeared
to be wholly taken up with triaeS aud world
ly inery, instead of fixing her mind on things
above. You are certainly mistaken, sir |
know that the girl appears to an observer to
be taken up with worldly things, but you can
not Judge correctly Of the direction her
mind really takes, as she is little cross eyed"

SECESSION FoLLy-The entire nadequacy
of the secession leaders to guide the movement
they have undertaken to lead, is shown in the
fact that while prompted to disunion by the
hope of battering the condition of Charleston
trade, they have obstructed the channels lead
ing to the city, in order to keep the United
SaateS vessels out; at the same time they have
destroyed the light houses and pulled up the
buoys.
