pallet, in great agony, being swelled
up like a stuffed badger. Ills cousin,
Peficlea Cicero Perkins, ate four yards
of stuffed sausage, and disdaining 10 re-
tire from the field, vomited msjssticaliy
and with great precision upon his moth
er's Dolly Warden, and blowed his nose
into his venerable grandmothers snuff
box. Peter Farley Stubbins, In an am
bilious endeavor TO "skin the cat" on the
churn-dasher, fell and cut his leg on the
foot ada. The youngest scion Of Amer
lea Vespucius Stubbins, furtively got
hold of a dried applepie, and for three
hours enjoyed an exquisite, but air-tight
collie, and no relief was found until box
Of Will Worm Candy appeared on the
scene. Before supper, Melissa Almira
stubbins, the youngest daughter of the
house Of Stubbins, upset the tea kettle
upon her foot and burnt a blister as large
as the centre-piece on a new bed quilt.
During the course Of the evening, Thom-
as Quintus Stubbins signalized his dsr-
ing by swallowing his grandmothers
pipe-stem, and sticking his thumb into
one of his Aunt Sophia Melinda's cross
eyes. He took a swallow of paregoric,
and was carried mounfnlly and in silence
to his little bed up in the loft. The ta-
bic groaned under middling, buttermilk
and ash-cake, with basiR Of white but
ter that looked like the froth on a storm
fretted sea. A homemade cheese artis-
tically embellished with fly specks, and a
can Of molasses seasoned with flies, sup
plemented the feast.
The immediate occasion Of this reunion
was the sudden appearance of Andrew
jackson Stubbins, who was supposed to
be dead. He was roust-abont on Mays
vile and Lexington freight train, in
business, and in the day Of his misfor-
tunes, struck bee-line for the paternal
mansion and hung his old wool hat on
the gun-rack above the fireplace. The
aged Stubbins took advantage Of this
gathering, and distributed to each of his
children and son's-in-law a pint of sod
corn whisky, his blessing, and a lecture
on content and the hearts of the CRATE
full dones heaved and swelled like the
flanks of fat horses.
We are sorry to add that none of this
multitudinous tribe belong to the church,
nor patronize the Sunday-school. The
seventh son aforesaid once swore the ties
off an ox-cart, on down grade. 1t may
be called a profane grade. No circuit
rider ever ventured to crunch a corn
cake and strip a chicken-leg under their
Goddess roof.
May the Stubbinses become converted
and their tribe increase.

THE sEAslsTREss.

A dirge, and an open grave,
A coffin upon the bier;
Then the clay fell over the care-worn breast,
And form went down to its place Of rest,
Like a weary bird 10 her evening nest
In the tall trees waving near.
She had struggled long with life,
Long with her weight Of woe,
Till her eyes were dim with their food Of tears,
Till her breast was sick with its hopes and fean
She had struggled on through weary years,
Till the sands Of life were low.
Till her rounded check grew pale,
with her weary, toilsome lott
No friends we're near, with their fond cares,
To speak kind words, to soothe and bless;
Bot she struggled on in her loneliness,
Unnoticcd and forgot.
Like fettered bird long Gagged,
Which ia at length released,
Her soul flew forth from its cage Of clay
Into the fClds Of night and day,
Where her spirit knows no more decay,
Bet all shall whisper peace.
They have placed her in the tomb;
None shed sopowing tear;
The busy world viii go plodding on;
The night shall conc, the morning dawn
For long, long year, yet the spirit gone,
No more shall suffer here.

minds. We have seen them, wc-have
heard them, and in Shakespeare, nothing
more is required 10 know them. Old
Capulet and Montague are naughty, but
hospitable aristocrats who hate each 9th
er, and their retainers partake of the
spirit. Their wives occupy small spaces
in the play, especially Lady Montague.
Lady Cspulet's especial mission seems to
be to express the wishes Of her lord to
Juliet in regard to her marriage with
Paris. Tybalt is hasty and ferocious;
Paris has no particular points in his
character, evcept his love for Juliet, and
as this is all he has to do, he does it with
all his might Escalus is just prince,
yet inclined to mercy, the nurse is gar
rulous and meddlesome, keeping in con-
slant exercise the immemorial privilege
of old family servants-that Of impu-
dence.-Shc is rather lax in some moral
points, as well as loose in her language,
anu to hcr influence are to he attributed
some defects in the character Of Juliet.
These are the characters grouped
around Romeo ana Juliet, the principal
actors, who occupy the foreground. Ro-
meo is a young nobleman of the house
ofMontague, gentle, retiring, brave, and,
we think, somewhat r:=:Sceptiblc. Juliet,
of the family of the Capulets, is natural
ly a noble, pure-minded, impulsive mai.
den. There are words put into her
mouth in the play, which would startlt
US II heard from modern young lady
but these may easily be accounted for by
her constant association with the nurse,
and by the different manners and senti-
ments of those times. The effect Of love
upon her and Romeo seems to be the
same; it arouses them, brings them for
ward, and henceforth they are the prin'
cipal characters.
1t Is unnecessary to 60 through the
whole play as we have done through the
first act. One thing worsh noticing in
1t is the relation which every scene ha,
to the main plot; nothing is lost; nc
words are thrown away. The action
progresses from the beginning. To trace
these relations through the play would
be tedious and entirely unnecessary. The
first scene, which we noticed, will serve
as a specimen of the manner in which
the play is connected.

WINTER EVENINGS WITH
+. THE IMMORTAL BARD.
BY zBPUINICIr MEEK.
NUMBER l.
ROMEO AND JULIET.

ROMEO AND JULIET.
This play embodies the dramatic con-
ception of unmarried love, acting upon
the impulsive and impetuous natures
generated by Southern climate, its op-
Grafton hastened by the civil connections
of the times, and finally involving trag-
ical conclusion. The 1st scene opens
with fight in the streets of Verona be
tween retainers of the two rival houses
mentioned in the prologue, seconded by
members of each family, and finally
quelied by the presence Of the Prince.
This part of the scene seems to be nee
essary to the banishment of Romeo
which occurs about the middle of the
play, as the Prince now threatens severe
punishment to the next breakers of the
peace, and afterwards it was Romeo's
fate to be involved in the first outbreak
which occurred. Near the end of the
scene, we are presented with Romeo ia
love with Rosaline, and are made &C.
quainted with her coldness towards him,
and her resolution to remain unmarried.
In the second scene, Capulet and Par
is, in talking of Juliet, inform us that
the latter is her suitor and the formei
not adverse to his success. Capulet in
vites Paris to meet a number Of persons
at his house that night, and gives ser
want list Of the persons invited, with
orders TO deliver the invitations which
servant meeting with Romeo and Benvo
lio, asks the latter 10 read the list to him.
The two friends thus becoming acquaiu

was to be one of the guests; BenvoliC
promising Romeo that when he has seer

will think his swan to be crow. Al
the same place, the suit of Paris for thu
hand Of Juliet Is to commence, as w
discover from the third scene. In thi'
scene, Juliet Is informed by her mother
Of Paris love for her, and the nurse, wh'

first time, introduced. In the fourtl
scene, Romeo and his friends rre presen

Capulet's hall. Romeo is resolved u
take no part in the festivities, but to n
main a mere spectator. In the 9th, tn
entertainment takes place, and Romeo
for the first time, sees Juliet. Benvo

Spinal Meningitis.

Cerebro-spinal meningitis, sometimes
called spotted fever, is at present preva-
lent over large extent Of country
verse in some localities than others. As
a large proportion of those who are Ia
ken with it die, it creates great deal Of
anxiety and alarm. The disease has been
known for number of years, yet its
character seems not to be very well un-
derstood. nor are any very effectual rem
edies known. Ii seems TO be most prev
alent in the latter part Of winter and
early spring; also, it seems to be more
prevalent after severe winters. Proba-
bly, extreme changes of temperature
have much to do with its development
When it prevails in a severe form, a ma
jority Of the cases prove fatal, and those
who recover, frequently suffer some loss
or impairment Of faculties, as hearing,
vision, etc. Children and youth seem to
be most susceptible TO 1t.
The disease this year seems to be mild
in It's form in most localities, and very
many recove-; ;.ssom ii perfectly. As pre-
ventive measures, it is important to OBJ
serve regular habits, live tempsrately,
dress warm, and avoid as much as pos
sible exposure to night air, wet and cold.
The symptoms vary greatly in different
cases. 1t sometimes sets in with chill;
often with pains, more or less severe. in
the side, stomach, head or back. The
bowels are generally costiye fromthe first.
In the way Of treatment, il is important
to open the bowels aud to excite perspi-
ration. Warm baths. as warm as can
be well borne, have been used with good
effect, In Michigan, iavorite remedy

This is created by pouring boiling hot

THE sTUBBISg ,REUNIoN.
A Glorious Gathering and n Hap
py Time.

We recently had the pleasure of being
at the annual reunion Of this numerous
and interesting family. The whole affair
was recherche, and marked by brilliant
and imposing incidents. The suspicious
event took place in the Stubbins' family
mansion, a modest, unpretending two
room log house. with spacious hall, dirt
floors, and a board roof, occupying a
gentle eminence, crowned with pictur-
esque grove of briers and burdock, and
overlooking the placid, soft-fowing and
romantic Slate.
Thither troOped the whole tribe Of
Stubbins-some on foot, some on mules
and some in open carts with pawpaw
harness. The front yard brilliantly IL
luminated with hogs lard dip set on
the top Of small chicken-coop. A man
gy old dog with melancholy counte-
nance, split ears and stubbcd tail sat
on pins puncheou and howled dolo-
rious welcome.
High among the throng boamed the
benignant countenance of the patriarch
of the whole tribe, Epimiondas Miltiades
Stubbins, glorifed with mulberry nose
and lips and chin stained with ''long
green" Of which he is a passionate low
or and inyeterate masticator. He was
gorgeou.ly arrayed for the occasion in
one yarn suspender holding up a pair Of
tow-linen trowsers skewed behind with a
black-thorn pin. Under the mellow light
Of two candles home dipped, his bald
head CLEANED like the head light on an
express train. With two gills of new
whisky under his red flannel shirt, his
whole countenance shone with the fierce
splendor of cats eye on house-top.
Close by his side, in the midst of the
happy family group, nestled Decora Eliz-
abeth Stubbins, the partner Of all his
sorrows AND the cause of all his woes for
half century, with her German silver
spectaeles on her dismal pug nose and
two weeks rheumatism in her LETT hip.
She wore a new frilled cap and pair Of
number ten brogans with hob-nails. Her
face also beamed with goodness, and
the pleasing rotundity of her stomach,
yelling forward like the plethoric sides
of an emigrants valise, was delightful
to behold.
We cannot describe in detail the sons
and daughters of this interesting couple,
come 10 take whisky strait aud MUNICH
a corn-doger, under the paternal roOftree.
Cornelious Nepo Pomponius Stubbins,
the frst-born, the Reubin of the family
was there. He took "sugar in his'n,
aud when he blowed his fingers it footed
like a tin dinner-horn.
Nor can we refrain from naming the
charming wife of Julius Cato Stubbins,
who toed in as she walked, like setting
goose going to water, and had large
square, white teeth, so that when she
opened her mouth to laugh it looked like
Uncovered hand trunk filled with di-
minutiye tombstones. She wore check
apron. |.I..
