WHY HE DID NOT DO 1T.

1t has long been known of Queen Vic
tvria that on all her excursions and ordi-
nary Appearances she So regulates her dress
&c as not to discourage HABITS Of econo-
my among her people. All such exam
pies are noble and christian:
Mr.. Samuel Slatter's habits OF living
were often the topic cf remark among
townsmeu. Ga certain occasion this
subject was luade the staple of quite an
interesting conversation between himself
and Few Of his intimate friends, when
he was a little more than fifty years Of
age, and estimated to be worth half a
million Of dollars. 1t was in the front of
the bank, where they were accustomed to
meet aud discuss all sorts of things of in
tcrest. At that time he lived in IN old
wooden house which might have cost two
OK three thousand dollars-decent and
comfortable, it is true, and much like the
better sort of houses in the village, ex-
ceptlng, perhaps, half 4 dozen. lie also
owned good horse and chaise, the COM
mon pleasure vehicle at that period in
many parts Of New England. His friends
told him i; was not right for man of
his property to live in that style-that he
ought to build better house and keep II
coach.
Mr.. Slater replied much in the follow
ing manner "Gentlcmen, admit that |
am able to have large and costly house,
rich furniture, and servants to take care
Of it; that | am able to have a coach
with a driver and fOo;man to attend
ME. And it is not that am miserly tina;
[ do not have them. But is duty in
me to set an example Of economy to 9TH
ers, and especially to my children. The
world is too inclined TO ex;ravigance. II
the style you recommend is to be consid-
cred an evidence of wealth, and | were on
that account to adopt it, others not able
might follow my example, in order to be
though rich la the end it might prove
their ruin, while prudent and honest peo-
pic would haze TO suffer for it. And
you know l have Elk boys. If they live
and have families, each will want to live
in as much style as his father. Nov, i'll

A GOOD STORY.

| In one of the small interior towns Of
New England where the superstitions o!
our ancestors still possess hold on the
people, the facts occurred cew Years
since, of which the following is i true
narrative:
An honest farmer AMI his family pre-
pairing to celebrate Thanksgiving at his
wite's fathers in an adjacent town, were
hurried aud confused extremely on the
day preceding that festival, by the multi
piicity of things which must be done be-
fore they could leave home with safety
The house was to be banked up" and
the gleanings of the harvest, cabbage,
turnips, and 50 forth, put in the cellar,
tina; the external entrance thereto might
be closed up for the season. Having car
ricd IN the vegetables, the boys were dis
patched to the barn for straw TO Gil the
passage with, while the good man himself
was busted on the opposite side OF the
house.
An old ram, the horned patriarch Of
the flock of sheep kept on the farm, Aav-
ing GOT taste of the scattered cabbage
leaves, unobservcd entered the cellar and
silently continued his feast The avenue
through which lie entered was immediate.
y closed up, aud all the necessary works
and arrangements being completed, the
larger boys and girl set off on foo. in high
slee, the dog running and barking before
them.
Soon after, the parents and their little
ones, having put Gu: the fires and fas;cn-
ed the doors and windows to keep out
thieves, started for the same destination.
On the afternoon OF the day following
the festival, the family returned home ac-
companicd By some young cousins. Some
Of their youthful neighbors Of both sexes
were invited in, and merry ThanAsgiv-
ing 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 glarlng
wildly, ut;ering the halfsuffOcatins ex-
clamation
THE devil is in the cellar"
''Pooh,' said the father, "you have
only been frightened by your own shad-
ow; give me the light
Saying this, he seized the candlc-leav-
ing the candlcsticz fast IN the hands of
the boy, AID boldly rushed to the cellar
Stairs, but before he had descended half
tue steps, the large saucer eyes and enor-
nous horns of the ram caused him to re-
treat as much terrified as his son, exclaim-
ing:
"Sure enough, the devil is in the Gel
lar ~
The good man seized TIE great bible, !
attempted to read, but the candle sputtcr-
ed, burned blue, and threw such feeble |
light on the sacred pages, and the book
tIem5led SO much in the hands of the
reader, that he could not distinguish one
word from another. The little children
cried and cluOg to the mothor, tho girls |,

MY LOVE AND |.


And VIC sat in the quiet evening,
All alone, my love and |,
And she played on her organ softly,
And | listened silently.
For she sang me gay song sweetly,
Like a chorus Of wedding chimes,
And oh in the music ringing
Came the thoughts of other times.
In n dream | was still beside her,
In the summer wood and dells,
And | led her on in the sunlight
To the sound of village bells.
And she sang me a grave song sally,
That was soft, and sweet, and low,
OF the good books golden promise,
That wine and OH should flow.
In n dream | was still beside her,
And saw her, yet the same,
Though the promise was for others,
And those good things never came.
Then she sang me an old song softly,
Like sigh from a dying breath.
And twas only the worlds old story
OF love, and life, and DEATH
And I thought as sat beside her,
As ] heard her gently sing.
That with such sweet, thrilling voices,
Tho ct,i,.s nr anu.1- ,t,n
So we sat in the quiet evening,
All alone, my love and |.
And she played on her organ softly,
And listened silently.
