A Ridiculous Mistake.

A I A FAMOUS and popular water
IA ingplace a gentleman one night was
suddenly seized in bed with an excrucia-
ting pain in the stomach, which, neither
brandy, No. 6, nor any other remedy
could remove. His wife, after trying a
number of things ia vain, and having ex-
hausted all her stock of remedies, left her
husbands bedside for the purpose of
getting warm application. Guided on
her return by light which she saw
shining in chamber, and which she
supposed was the one just left, she softly
entered, and was not little surprised to
find her patient apparently in a deep
slumber. However thinking he might
still be suffering, she gently raised the
bed-clothes, &c, and laid the scalding
poultice upon the stomach of her husband
which no sooner touched the body of
the person than he, greatly alarmed, and
writhing under the torture of the burn
ing application, shouted: " Halo halo!
what in the name Of heaven and earth
are you about there 2" then with one
spring from his bed, he made for the door
and rushing down stairs, declared in a
frenzy Of excitement, that some one had
poured shovel Of hot Goals upon him.
The woman, overcome with excit ement
and alarm gave frantic scream, which
brought her husband hurriedly in from
the next room to her rescue. The hus-
band was so much excited, and also so
much amused with the singular mistake
and the ridiculous position of his better
halt, that he forgot all his pains but ear
ly next morning he, his wife and trunks
left for parts unknown. The poulticed
gentleman still retains the handkerchief
u beautiful linen fabric with the lad7's
name on it, which he considers of rare
value.

Curious Mode of Getting Wife.

nNE little act of politeness will some
" times pave the way to fortune and
preferment. The following sketch illus
trates this fact:
A sailor, roughly garbed, was strolling
though the streets Of New Orleans, then
in rather damp condition from recent
rain and rise of the tide. Turning the
corner of much frequented and narrow
alley, he observed young lady standing
in perplexity, apparently measuring the
depth Of the muddy water between her
and the opposite sidewalk, with no very
satisfied countenance.
The sailor paused, for he was great
admirer of beauty, and certainly the fair
face that peeped out from under the little
chip hat, and the auburn curls hanging
glossy and unconfned over her muslin
dress, might tempt curious or admirng
glance. Perplexed, the lady put forth
one little foot, when the gallant sailor
with impulsiveness, exclaimed, "That
pretty foot, lady, should not be soiled
with the filth of this lane wait mo-
ment only, and I will make you path"
So springing past her into a carpenter
shop opposite, he bargained for a plank
board that stood in the doorway, and
coming back to the smiling girl, who was
just coquettish enough to accept the SER
vice of the handsome young sailor, he
bridged the narrow black stream, and she
tripped across with a merry "Thank
you," and roguish smile, making her
eyes as dazzling as they could be.
Alas our young sailor was perfectly
charmed. What else would make him
catch up and shoulder the plank, and fol-
low the little witch through the streets to
her home, she twice performing the cere-
mony of walking the plank" and each
time thanking him with one of her elo-
quent smiles. Presently our hero saw
the young lady trip up the marble steps
of house, and disappear within its rose
wood entrance. For full minute he
stood looking at the door, and then with
a wonderful big sigh, turned away, dis
posed of his drawbridge, and wended his
path back to his ship.
The next day he was astonished with
an order of promotion from the Captain.
Poor Jack was speechless with amaze
ment; he had not dreamed of being ex-

alted to the dignity of second mates
office on board one of the most splendid
ships that sailed out of the port of New
Orleans. He knew he was competent.
for instead of spending his money for
amusements, visiting theaters and bow
ling alleys, on his return from sea he pur-
chased books, and had become quite a
student; but he expected years to inter-
vene before his ambitious hopes would be
realized.
His superior officers seemed to look up
on him with considerable lieniency, and
gave him many fair opportunity to gath
er maritime knowledge and in a year,
the handsome, gentlemanly young mate
had acquired unusual favor in the eyes of
the portly commander, Captain Hume,
who had first taken the smart, little black
eyed fellow, with his neat tarpaulin and
tidy bundle, as his cabin boy.
One night the young man, with all the
other officers were invited to an enter
tainment at the Captains house. He
weut and to his astonishment mounted
the identical steps, that two years before,
the brightest vision he had ever seen
passed over-a vision he had never for
COTTON. Thump thump, went his brave
heart, as he was ushered into the great
parlor; and like a sledge hammer it beat
again, when Captain Hume brought
forward his blue-eyed daughter, and with
pleasant smile said, "The young lady
was once indebted to your kindness for a
safe and dry walk home" His eyes
were all ablaze, aud his brown cheeks
flushed hotly, as the noble Captain saun-
tered away, leaving fair Grace Hume at
his side. And in all that assembly was
not as handsome couple as the gallant
sailor and the "pretty ladie.'
1t was onl ly year from that time that
the second mate trod the quarterback,
second only in command, and part owner
with the Captain, not only in his vessel,
but in the affections of his daughter, gen
tie Grace Hume, who had always cher
ished respect, to say nothing of love for
the bright-eyed sailor
His homely but earnest act of polite
ness towards his child, had pleased the
Captain, and though the youth knew it
not, was the cause Of his first promotion.
So that now the old man has retired from
business, Henry Wells is Captain, and
Grace Hume is, according to polite par
lance, " Mrs. Captain Wells" In fact,
our honest sailor is one of the richest
men in the Crescent City, and he owes,
perhaps, the greater part of his prosperi-
ty to his tact and politeness in crossing
the street

ter well out of sight, Betsey Jane went
about business that woman could under
stand, with merry twinkle in her bright
black eyes,
At A p. NJ. Nicodemus returned home
again, looking quite as important as be-
fore. He tip-toed along through the
kitchen, Betsey Jane watching him from
the corner of her eye the while. He
passed out into the shed. A fragrant
smell of smoke came forward to greet
him an odor of burning corn-cobs
gradually curing ham.
Nicodemus turning deadly pale, and
ran frantically forward to large fire
smouldering in the ash house, and a large
ham or two, covered over by blankets,
hanging placidly there The yell he
gave brought Betsey Jane from the house
instanter, to find Nicodemus groveling be-
fore the ash house door, weeping and
wailing and tearing his hair, and uttering
yell after yell of despair!
t. Why, bless me what's the matter :?
are you in a fit? Let me run for the
camphor" shrieked Betsey Jane.
"Camphor Bring arsenic! Bring
prussic acid Bring pison of some kind
pison, pison!" yelled Nicodemus, franti-
cally.
Woman, you've ruined me! Twelve
thousand dollars in government bonds
did L put into that ash-hole for safety
just week ago, and you've gone and
burnt them up to cook that cussed bacon !,
Pison pison pisonl And let me get
out of this weary world !"
"Oh-So; that is what you were not
going to tell Betsey Jane Amt you

Nicodemus could not answer. He
laid PROSTATE in the ashes, and howled !!
"Get up-and don't be fool p said
Bctsey Jane, amiably. "I heard you
and brother Tim, conspiring at the door
that day, and watched you to the ash-hole,
and soon found out what you had hid
away there. Woman is the weaker YES
sci no doubt, but she don't put twelve
thousand dollars where the first match
that comes handy can burn it all up
Here are your bonds, Nicodemus-ten
thousand, for I've kept two for MY homes

Poor Nicodemus He gathered himself
up out of the ashes, and took his bonds
what was left of them. He rather
thinks it pays best, on the whole, now,
to tell Betsey Jane.

"DON'T TELL BETSEY JANE
6 A ND FOR YOUR life, don't tell
IN Betsey Jane !"

Mr.. Nicodemus Harding, having ut
tered this caution in low, earnest tone
of voice, alighted from a Concord wagon
in front of his own farm house door, and
stood there for a few moments in brown
study, watching the figure of his brother
in-law and lawyer, as he drove back tow
ard the village of whence the
two men had just come.
Don't tell Betsey Jane p
Now Betsey Jane was Mr.. Nicodemus
Harding's wife-a stirring, notable soul,
who made more butter and cheese, and
took more eggs and fowls to the village
market, in the course Of the season, than
any other woman for miles around.
Strong, healthy and hearty, she made
the housework fly" to use her own en-
ergetic expression; and if Nicodemus
Harding owned his farm that day, and
was "well to do" in fact rich man
to boot, it was owing in no small measure
to the skill and energy, and economy and
go-ahead- -ativeness of his Betsey Jane.
What was it, then, that the ungrateful

NicOdemus to himself, shaking his head.
" Shed be wanting q new carpet. or a
new silk gown, or the house all painted
over, or some such nonsense. MOI the
woman is the weaker vessel, and it won't
do to trust one too far. Their heads
won't bear it.
So Mr.. Nicodemus passed through the
house, and out toward the barn with
the preoccuped air of hen who has an
egg to lay, and don't know where she can
hide it from the eyes of mankind to the
best advantage. The kitchen was emptv
and silent as he went through it. But
oh! if he could but have seen the buxom,
good looking female who stole silently
followed him on his way toward the
barn!
Mrs Harding came back in about
twenty minutes or so, with face red
from suppressed laughter.
"Don't tell, Betsey Jane" she said.

are very smart man, Nicodemus, and
my brother, Tim. 'Noyes, is another, and
a lawyer into the bargain. Don't tell
Betsey Jane indeed Two wretches |!
you deserve all you'll get pretty soon.
Betsey Jane said no more but bided
her time. A week passed away, and
then brother Tins wagon drove up again
to the door, and Nicodemus stepped into
it, and was off to the village once more.
Betsey Jane had asked in vain to 90.
Nicodemus was bound on "business
which a woman could not understand" !"

THE PARTING.
BY GEORGE d. PRENTICE.

He signal from the distant strand
Streams o'er the waters blue
1t bids me press thy parting hand,
And breathe my last adieu;
But oft on Fancy's glowing wing
My heart will love to stray,
And still to thee with rapture spring
Though am far away.
With thee I've wandered oft to hear,
On Summers quiet ewes,
The wild birds music, soft and clear,
Borne through the whispering leaves;
Or see the moons bright shadow laid
Upon the waveless bay,
Those eyes-their memory cannot fade,
Though am far away.
My life may feel Hopes whitening blight,
Yet fancys fearful eye
Will turn to thee-the dearest light
In retrospection's sky;
And still the memory of our love,
While life was young and gay,
Will sweetly o'er my spirit move,
Though am far away.
'Tis hard, when Springs first flower ex-
pands,
To pass it coldly by,
Or see upon the desert sands
The gem unheeded lie >;
The gentle thoughts that bless the hours
Of love eau ne'er decay,
And thou wilt live in memory's bowers,
Though l am far away.
The Sun has sunk, with fading CLEAN,
Down evenings shadowy vale,
But see-his softened glories stream
From yonder crescent pale;
And thus affections chasteued light
Will memory still display,
To gild the gloom of sorrows night,
Though am far away.

Heroic Faith.

Said clergyman in the Fulton street
prayer meeting "There is such a thing
as great faith. Christ said there was
when He said: 20, woman, great is thy
faith. BE it unto thee even as thou wilt
There is also, such thing as heroic faith.
This is the faith that overcomes all obsta-
cles, and holds on when all things oppose.
1t believes and trusts in God as giving
faith by the inspiration of the Holy Spir-
it. Elijah could not tell why he believed
fire would come down from Heaven and
burn up the sacrifice, when the altar had
been built and the sacrifice had been laid
upon it and the trench around it had been
filled with water. But he did believe It
when it seemed the most impossible thing
in the world, and the fire came according
to his faith.

Power of Love.

The warm sunshine and the gentle
zephyr may melt the glacier which has
bid defiance to the bowling tempest;
so the voice of kindness will touch the
heart which no severity could subdue.
Christ's love is the Church's fire;
thither bring thy heart when it is cold
frozen and dead mediate on his love,
and pray until you can say, "He loved
me and gave himself for me-"
The best system of theology without
love is corpse. To make it a power
put life into it, glowing love to God and
man.
