SALEM WITCHES.

| The house where they were tried and
condemned still stands. 1t was then the
| sheriffs residence, but now it supports q
heavy sign telling how umbrellas and
parasols can be mended" there In the old
office Mr.. George p. Harrington keeps an
apothecary store. Through the Kindness
of Mr.. Joseph Merrill, acting in the absence
of the Hon. Asabel Huntington as a clerk
of the County Court, saw the pins which
were produced in court as the identical
ones with which the witches "pestered, tor
tured, afflicted, pinned, consumed, wasted,
tormented and otherwise injured" their
victims. Here, too, was the whole legal
history of the witches drawn up in a sep
arate book for the use of visitors. In fact
the clerks office is a museum of curious
documents, which would make the sold
antiquarian go wild with joy. l should
like to have been there a week, then /
could have written something about them.
Salem was once considered the centre
towards which all the wichcraft of the
country tended. But it is gratifying to
know that while the whole country around
was demanding the death of the supposed
witches, the citizens of Salem were more
compassionate, and began the revolution
which soon caused public opinion to relent
and demand the release of all those poor
creatures that had not been executed in
the heat of excitement.
The old Custom House, which Hawthorne
has made famous by his romantic descrip-
ton, is little the worse for wear, but yet
bids fair to stand for ages. Nothing recalls
the days of the city's prosperity like this
unimposing brick edifce, with its little
porch and small windows Its quiet forsa-
ken air, when compared with its brightest
days, brings a feeling of sadness and won
der. 1t is by no means a useless or unim-
portant Custom House now, as its receipts
show; but its bright days are gone, with
the writers and speakers of the generation
to which it belonged.
Gallows HILL which, until few years
ago, remained barren and grim, just as it
stood when its sides were covered with
people, and witches were swinging in air
at the top, has now become the home of
many an industrious family, and is now
one of the finest localities about the city.
Between its witches and its sweethearts
Salem had considerable trouble. For if /
I am not mistaken, this is the town that
petitoned the State Legislature and pro-
cured a funny law which ordered "that if
any young man attempt to court young
woman without the permission of her pa
rents, or, they being absent, of magis
trate, he should forfeit $25 for the first Of
Tense, and $50 for each subsequent otfense."
On those days husbands were not in such
a demand as now. Massachusetts has now
nearly 10000 more women than men, The
law against dancing at weddings, and "for
preventing as well the charge as especially
the great disorder at weddings riding
abroad" was also strictly enforced here.
But any person can see at a glance that all
this is now done away with, and that the
course Of true love can run as smoothly at
Salem as in the shadiest bowers fthe Heb
rides-B0st0n TTageleF.

than the cold light of later-day theories OF
his life and character, speculative and skep-
tical. To him Washington seems both
nearer and farther off than he seems to us
Those calm blue eyes, dust and darkness
for nearly seventy years, shine for the old
man, as they shone on the little boy, with
lofty but not unkindly look. Their col
or is to him like the fair blue of summer
skies-not like the cold blue of Alpine
glaciers. The more than royal dignity of
that martial and paternal presence is to
MIN simply and grandly heroic. The pure
morality and honest Christian faith of the
leader and saviour of the nation; of the
representative gentleman, with his careful
punctuality and unerring propriety, his gen
erous inequalities and exact economies !.
OF the kind neighbor and Just master; of
the lover of children, dogs, and horses, are
to him better than all the philanthropy and
much of the religion of our time.
While this friend talked with us, I, for
one, felt that had taken a dip into the
golden past. had fancied that too had
seen Washington, and had my little head
touched Tor moment by his broad white
hand; that | had eaten sweetmeats from
That bounteous table in the old High-street
house; or, better still, met Washington in
his stable, among his horses.
But all such pleasant illusions were dis
PEELED by our visitor glancing at the clock
on the mantel and exclaiming: "Bless me
it is nearly eleven! I must be going"
Then he shook hands all round, and with
kindly adieux and graceful compliments,
left us.
All! what troop of old time shades
went out after him into the summer night |!
Washington, stately as ever, but more hui
man and home-like than he had before
seemed to me. About him was faint.
agreeable equine odor, and the shadow of
stag-horn trotted after him. Besides him
walked his comely comfortable wife; and
just following went pretty prim Nelly Cur
tbs, and that young prig, Master George
Washington Parke GUSTS.
We might lave pictured as waiting. for
this august party, in the dim starlight, just
outside General rs door, the old
cream-colored chariot, drawn by six spec
trail bays, with ghostly John on the box,
the lively apparition of footman beside
the steps, and spook of a postillion
mounted in front These all vanished
without sound of rumble or gallop, with
silent cracks of impalpable whips, and in
audible huzzas from the little boys of long
ago.
Robert Morris passed out with head
bowed, and after him, with something of a
stage stride, Chilly Wood, the play actor"
Then went Thomas Jefferson, with his cold,
unbclieving face, and Timothy Pickering
hurrying back to the War Office, and Al
exander Hamilton, with his grave, states
manlike mien, and Aaron Burr, with his
quick, nervous step, and his magnetic
masterful eyes.
And so closed our evening with the
past.

STOCKING THE SUsoUEHANNA WITH
BAss.-The Harrisburg Patriot says that
a determined effort is being made to intro
duce these delicious fish into the Susque-
hanna Several gentlemen of this city
had recently imported from the Potomac
river number of bass, which are now lux
uriating in the clear waters of our stream.
As these fish propagate very extensively,
their number in the river in few years
will be legion, provided they are not dis
turbed by law-breakers.

In the town of N--g there lived man
by the name of Allen, who was forever quar-
reiing with his wife. 1t so happened one day
THAT his wife got the worst of the quarrel,
aud she Immediately determined to get rid
oil him forever For this purpose she became
exceedingly friendly with neiehboring
druggist, gave him some valuable presents.
and then indirectly led him TO understand
that she would like to know the name of a
poison that might be used without detection.
AT once the druggist suspected her motive.
lie. pretended to be perfectly willing to aid
her in the villainous design, and gained
full particulars from the murderous Jezabel.
Being well acquainted with the husband, aud
knowing him to be fond of eggs, lie told her
to give him two bOiicd eggs every morning.
aud lie would gradually become blind. She
commenced the operation the next morning,
and in about week hc complained that his
cycsight was becoming dull liur the druggist
had in the mcautimc dvuiScd the plot to the
usband) The wife was delighted at the
success OF her plan, and the eggs came resu-
larly every morning, until at length TIE hus>

was tired Of life, and wished her to take him

When they reached the water the wife
pretended to cry pitcously, and said she
could not muster up courage to do it. lie
then said he would stand in front of bum
die of straw, which she should gently push,
and thus throw him over without her seeing
1t: The vile consented she gently leaned
against the straw, but lie stepped out from
under it, and the wife was prccipitated into
