MISCELLANY.
The Devil in the Cellar.

In one of the small interior towns Of New
England, where the superstitions of our ances-
tors still possess hold on the people, the facts
occurred few years since of which the follow
ing is true narration:
/ An honest farmer and his family preparing
to celebrate Thanksgiving at his wifes fathers
in an adjacent town, were hunriedan confused
extremely on the day preceding that festival,
by the multiplicity of things which must be
done before they could leave home with safety.
The house was to be "banked up" and the
gleanings of the harvest, cabbage, turnips, &C.,
put into the cellar, that the external entrance
thereto might beclosed for the season. Having
carried in the vegetables, the boys were dis
patched to the barn for straw to fill the pas
sage with, while the good man himself was
busted on the opposite side of the house.
An old ram, the horned patriarch of large
flock of sheep kept on the farm. having got
taste of the scattered cabbage leaves, unobserv-
ed entered the cellar and silently continued his
feast. The avenue through which he had en-
tered was Immediately closed up, and all the
necessary work aud arrangements being com
pleted, the larger boys and gills set oil on loot
in high glee, the dog running and barking be-
fore them.
Soon after, the parents and their little ones,
having put out the FIRE aud fastened the doors
and windows to keep ort thieves, started on the
same destination.
On the afternoon of the day following the
festival. the family returned home, accompa-
MED by some young cousins. Some OF their
youthful neighbors Of both sexes wele invited
in, and a merry Thanksgiving carousal was IN
full tide of successful operation, when one OF
the boys, who had been sent into the cellar
WITH little two wick candle, which gave just
enough light TO make darkness visible, TO draw
cider. ran back into the room, with eyes giar-
ing wildly, uttcring the half sufocatins cxcla-
nation:
.The devil is in the cellar"
pooh said the father, "you hayeonly been
frightened by your own shadow give me the
light"
Saying this. be seized the caudIe-leaving
the candlestick fast in the hands Of the boy

The Atlantic and Great w estern Rail-
way.
AN ENORMOUS CAPITAL.

A W tier in the Philadelphia }aqui,er pro
feSscs to give some interesting information con-
cerning the scheme of the Atlantic and Great
Western Railroad company to construct their
proposed broad-guage railway through Penn
sylvahia The writer says:
There is no doubt that the Atlantic and Great
Western company can procure an unllmita d
supply of money for any work which 1t may
undertake. At a meeting of the stock and
bondholders of the corporation, held at the Lon
don Tavern, on November oath, Sir Morton
Peto made the official statement that the enor-
nous sum of fcrty-Serea aallioa dollars was
the capital of the company to meet outsiand-
ing contracts for construction and the cost oi
the line. and that there was on hand an addi-
tonal margin of S12,793, ,SS9,09, while the
earnings of the road already built were one
hundred and t,ceHty-SiT thousand Secea hun
dred and ftly dollars per week. AT the same
time Sir Morton informed the parties in inter
est that no more money was required.
As one of the first steps toward the construc-
ton of the six feet guage road through our
Wild interior counties. a meeting has been held
at Bellefonte of the corporation called the
"Lewisburg, CentreandSpruce Creek Railroad,
one of the connecting links. AT that meeting
Hon. G.. r. Barrett, of Clear6eld, subscribed
one million dollars towards the completion ol
the road. and gave notice that he would take
al the remaining stock that was not wanted
by residents along the line.
An alliance has been formed between the
Atlantic and Great Western and Daltimoleand
Ohio railways. the two corporations have agreed
to complete at once q through line between
Cleveland and Washington ciiy, ID. e., passing
through the western part of Pennsylvania a.
The route and distance viii be as follows
Cleveland to Youngstown, t0bio,l 81 miles
built. Youngstown to Pittsburg, (Pennsylya-
NAL 96 miles. Pittsburg to Connesv.lle,
lPennsylvapia.) 80 miles, built. Connells'hle
to Cumberland, (Maryland,) 80 miles. Cum
berland to Point of Rocks, 10 niles. POM
of Rocks to Washington, 10 miles. Total,
Cleveland to Washington, 437 miles.
Bv this alliance our State secures the corr
pletion of what is known as the "a Pittsburg and
Connellsville Railroad" which developes the
counties of Favette and Somerset. 1t has been
held that if this road was finished, the trade Of
those counties land their mineral resources are
valuable.) would 90 to Baltimore instead ol
coming TO this city This may he the case
but it happens that the residents have no out
let at present to either place, and they argue
with some force, that any railroad, no matter
where its terminus may be, will increase the

Snow Music.

o little fairies Of the snow,
flushing the heart where'er We go,
Signing and singing as We fail
Your melancholy madrigal,
Taking the sad and silent air
With hints Of music unaware
like sister sounds OF thought that roll
Within the chanccl Of the soul!
O little fairies of the snow,
flushing tue heart whcre'cr We go,
Painting the earth in winter hours
With stainless pictures of the flowers,
Kissing the season till il shows
The Sabbath-silence Of repose,
Till Natures universal sense
S ems hush'd in breathless reverence!
O little fairies of the snow,
flushing the heart wher'er yc GO
Weaving with slender fingers sweet
Our dying Winters windingsheet,
Singing forever as you place
Your parting kisses on his face,
And leaving on the face We bless
Soft signs of unborn lovelin, ss!
o little fairies Of the snow,
Working for veal where'er We go,
Warming the infant of the Spring
Beneath your silken carpeting; 1.
Working for Summer while We sing
Your diving songs across the plain,
A diving to be born again
Breath th'd gently back in summer hours,
The voiccless fairies of the flowers

And again
The pavement stones resound
As he tottcrs Ger the ground
With his cane.
They say that in his prime,
Ere the pruning-knife of Time
Cut him down,
Not a better man was found
BY the Crier on his round
Through the town.
But now he walks the streets,
And he looks at all he meets
Sad and wan,
And he shakes his feeble head,
That it seems rs If he said,
"They are gone"
The mossy marbles rest
On the lips that he has prest
In their bloom,
And the names he loved to hear,
Have been carved for many year
On the tomb.

And it rests upon his chin,

And a crook is in his back,
And melancholy crack
