The Omlsidc Passenger.

1t was in the old days of stage
coaches, and one of those huge, lum-
bering articles was ploughing its
way between Boston and Salem in
driving rain storm, filed inside and
outside with Il jolly set of passengers.
Among the number of the more
fortunate insiders was respectable,
bald-headod old gentleman, who was
very solicitous about lady riding
on the roof Every few moments he
popped out his head, regardless of
the rain, and shouted to some one
above, "Wcll, how is she now?" And
the answer came, "All right"
"Is she getting wet?" inquired the
old man. "No, not much, was the
reply, ,
round her? Twill never do to have
her get wet, you know"
"We'ye got everything around her
we can get"
Haven't you got an old coat or
rug?'
"No, moi rag more"
A sympathetic young man, hear
ing all this, and feeling alarmed for
the poor lady out in the storm, in
quired of the old gentleman why
they didn't have her ride inside, and
not ont on the roof?
'Bless you, there amt no room!
exclaimed the old man,
"Not room! Why, Ill give her my
place; it's too bad"
"Not at all, sir; not at all, We
couldn't get her into the stage, any
how"
Amazed at her prodigious dimen-
sions, the kind young man said,
I"Wcll, sir, if my coat would be Of
any service to you she may have it,"
and, suiting the action TO the word,
he took the garment and handed it
to the old gentleman,
"It's almost pity, sir, to gct.your
ovcrcoat wet, but
"Not at all, sir by no means; pass
1t up to her.
The coat was accordingly passed
up.
'"rTowll that do for hcr2" asked tho
old gentleman.
"Gip.topl Just the ticket All
right now
Thus relieved no further anxiety
was manifested about the outside
passenger till the stage arrived at
thc inn, whom what was the sympa-
thctic and gallant young mans sur.

his nice coat had been wrapped

TlIE QUANER DETECTIvE.

We were five passengers in all; two
ladies on the back scat, middle
aged gentleman, a Quaker and my
self on the front The two ladies
might have been mother and daugh-
ter aunt and niece, governess and
chargc,' or might have sustained any
other relationship which makes it
proper for two ladies to travel togcth-
cr unattended.
The middle-Qgcd gentleman was
.sprightly and talkative, and soon
struck up an acquaintance with The
.t@o-ladfes, towatd'whom, IN his zedi
to do the agreeable, he rather over
did it-bowing, smiling, and chatter
ing in most attentive manner. He
was evidently a gay Lothario, The
Quaker wore the usual garb of his
sect, and confined his speech, as
many an N. p. would save his credit
by doing, to simple yeas and nays.
As for myself, | make it an invari-
able rule of the road to be merely Il

''for before reaching our stopping,

we must pass over a portion of the

The ladies turned pale, but the
stranger did his best to reassuro them.

Is TINS a HEALTHY WMTER.-
Some of our cotemporarics, wenoticc,
are engaged in fostering the old idea
that n warm winter is an unhealthy
one, and are lamentimg that we
should be having this sultry, "unsca-
sonablo' weather instead of the keen
biting weather that is good for us at
this time of the year. This idea is
simply Il superstition. Statistics,
ordinary observation and common
sense agree in the admission that
warm winter is healthier than cold
one. 1t is the severe weather that
cuts of the old and the sick and fee
ble among us, and robs even the ro-
bust of a portion of their vitality, if
too long continued The warm mild
days like this hurt nobody, and give
strength to many
Indirectly, too, warm winter con
sorvative of human strength and
life. 1t is morciful to the poor who
have insufficient provisions of cloth
ing, bedding and fuel to withstand
the severity of u hard winter. The
poor bless the Providence that sends
them balmy spring-like days in win
ter and thus pyolong the HIVES sIedi
preserve tlie heoltIipE thsms0ltcsaif
their children. OF course winter
days may be too warm, starting veg
citation unseasonably and relaxing
the human constitution so as to un-,
fit it for the sudden changes of tenn
perature which constitute the most
unhealthy feature of our climate, but
on the whole n mild winter from
every point of a view Except that of
a coal dealer is better than a severe

Bencoth.this mouldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye;
But start not at the dismal voil-
II social love that eye employed,
II with no lowlass fire il cleaned,
But through the dcws OF kindness beamcd
That eye shall be forever bright,
When stars and sun are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift and tuneful tongue.
Ii falSchOOds honey it disduincd,
And when it could not praise, was chained
Ii bold in Virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke
This silent tongue shall plead for thee
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers deIyc the mine?
Or with the cnvicd rubics shine?
To hcw the rock or Wear the gem
Can little now avail to them.
But ii the page oi truth thcy sought,
Or comiur. to the mOurner brought,
These hands richer need shall claim
Than all that wait on Wealth or Fame.
AyUiIs il, whether bare or shod,
These feet the path oi duty trod?
Ii from the bowers OF Ease they fed,
70 seek Affections humble shed;
Ii Grondeur's guilty bribe they spunod,
And home to Virtues cot returned;
These feet with angels wings shall vie,
And tread the palace OF the sky.

The students in one of our colleges
being frequently annoyed by thence
turnal and inquisitorial visits of a
Professor, who suspected them of
playing cards, one evening prepared
kettle of mush, otherwise called
hasty pudding, and by the time it
was boiled had seated themselves
around the table in the attitude of
card-playing, waiting patiently for
the well known step of the Professor.
1t was no sooner heard than large
outside pocket Of one Of them was
forthwith filled with hot hasty pud-
ding, and all were seated rs before
As soon as the Professor had opened
the door, the student who was loaded
with the mush made sudden sweep
over the table with his hands, as if
to gather up the cards, and with an
other motion apparently put them
into the pocket containing the mush,
These movements could not help be-
ing noticed, as they were intended
to be, by the Professor, who, consid-
cring them as pretty strong evidence
of guilt, broke out with the follow
| ing,

why, YES sir, we arc all here

'No, sir, it is not So
1T isn't, ha? What have you got

Hot hasty pudding, sir
"Hot hasty pudding, hal hasty
pudding have you? I'll hasty pud-
ding you, said the the Professor, at
| the samo time thrusting his hand
half way to the elbow into the hot
hasty pudding,
The dolorous looks, the shaking Of
fingers, the groauing and capcrs Of
the Professor are better imagined
than described,
