There are chestfuls of linen aud yarn, and quilts of rare patterns, and samplers in frames. And every where and always the dear old wrinkled faces of Iter whoi»e firm, elastic step ' mocks the feeble srnuter of her cliiUren's , children—the old fasioned grandmother of ^ twenty years ago. She, the very Providence of the old homestead ; she who loved ns all, ¦ and said she wished tliere were more of us to ; love and took all tbe school in the hollow for I grandchilereu besides. A great expansive, -. heart was hers, beneath that woollen gown, ' or that more stately bombazine, or that solo heir loom of silken texture. ! "We can see ber to day with those mild, blue eyea, with more of beauty in them than time j could touch, or death do more tban hide— j those eyes that held both smiles and tears } within the faintest call of every one of us, ' and soft reproof that seemed no passion but regret. A white tress has escaped from be¬ neath her snowy cap ; she has just restored a wandering lamb to its mother; she length¬ ened the tether of a vine that was straying over a window, as she came in, and plucked a four leaved clover for Ellen- She aits down by the little wheel — a tress is running through her finger-s from the distafi^s dishev¬ elled head, when a small voice cries, " Grand¬ ma," from the old red cradle, and "Grandma," Tommy shouts from the top of the stairs. Gently she lets go the thread, for her pa¬ tience is almost as beautiful as her charityj and she touches the little red bark a mo¬ ment, till the yonng voyager is in a dream agaii ;i2d then directs Tommy's unavailing attempts to harness the cat. The tick of the clock runs faint and low, and she opens the mysterious door and pro¬ ceeds to wind it up. We are all on tip-toe, and w« i"=ii ^n a breath, to he lifted up one by one and look in tho hundredth timo npon the tin cases of the welghtB, and the poor lonely pendulum, which goes to and fro by its little dim windows; and our petitions were ^1 granted, and we are lifted up, and we all touch with the finger the wonderful weights, and the music of the wheel is re¬ sumed. Was it Mary to be married, or Jane to he wrapped in a shroud ? So meekly did she- fold the white hands of the one upon her still bosom, that there seemed a prayer in them there ; and so sweetly did ahe wreathe the white rose in the hair of the other, that one would not havo wondered had more ro¬ ses budded for company. How she stood between us and apprehended harm; how the rudest of ns softened beneath the gentle pressure of her tremulous hand! From her capacious pocket that hand was ever with¬ drawn closed, only to be opened in our own, with the nnts she had gathered, with the cherries she had plucked, the little egg she had found, the "tum over" she had baked, the trinket she had purchased for us as the products of her spinning, the blessings she stored for us—the offspring her heart. What treasures of story fell from those old lips of good fairies and evil; of the old f times wheu she was a girl; but we won¬ dered if ever; but then she couldn't he hand¬ some or dearer—she was ever little. And then, when we begged her to sing: " Sing us one of the old aongs you used to sing to mother, grandma." Children, I can't sing, sho always aaid, and mother nsed to always lay her knitting softly down, and the kitten stopped playing with the yarn on the fioor, and the clock ticked lower in the corner, and the fire died dowu to a glow, hke an old heart that is neither chilled nor dead, and grandmother sang. To be snre it would not do for the parlor and concert-room now-a-days; but then it was the old kitchen and the old-fashioned grandmother, and the old ballad, in the dear old times, and we can hardly see to write for the memory of them, though it is a hands- breath to the sunset. Well, she sang. Her voice was feeble and wavering, like a fountain just ready to fail; hut theu, how sweet-toned it was, and it be¬ came deeper and stronger; but it could not grow sweeter. What "joy of grief" it was to sit there around the fire, all of us except¬ ing Jane, and her we thought we saw when the door was opened a moment by the wind ; but then we were not afraid, for was not it her old smile she wore ? To sit there around the fire, and weep over the woes of the babes in the woods, who laid down side by side in the great solemn shadows ; and liow Btrangely glad we felt when the robin red¬ breast covered them with leaves; and, last of all, when the angel took them out of the night into day everlasting. We may think what we will of it now, but the song and the story heard aronnd the kitchen fire have colored the thoughts and the lives of most of us, have given us the germs of whatever poetry blesses our hearts, whatever of memory blooms Jn our yester¬ days. Attribute whatever we may to the sohool and the school-master, the ravs which make that little day we call life, radiate from the God-swept circle of the hearth-atone. Then she sings an old lullaby she sang to mother—her mother sang it to her ; hut she does not sing it through, and falters ere it is L ''one. She rests her head upon her hands, 1— it is silent in the old kitchen. Some¬ thing glitters down between her fingers in the firelight, and it looked like rain in the soft sunshine. The old grandmother is think¬ ing when she first heard the song, and ofthe voice that sang it; when a light-haired and light-hearted giri, ahe hung around that mother'a chair, nor aaw the shadows of the years to come. 01 the days that are no more I What words unsay, what deeds undo, to set hack just this once the ancient clock of time ? So our UtUe hands were for ever clinging to her garments and staying her as if from dying, for long ago ahe had done Uving for herself, and Hved alone in ub. But the old AN AMUSING STORY That "they who dance muat pay the pip¬ er," is a aaying well illustrated in the follow¬ ing anecdote, sent to ns by a friend for pre¬ servation iuthe drawer: "It may uot be new," he saya, "where the parties are known —for the story bas been told in print before, by one who waa at one time a resident of the county where the circumstance occured—but it will be new to the great majority of your readers:" Sam- happened to arrive at the pleas¬ ant village of S- , one mild autumn aven¬ ing, and "put up" at ita only tavem ; and as he entered he heard " music and dancing in an upper chamber." The landlord, who was an old acquaintance, told him that a ball was going on in the hall above. "Come, Sam, go up ; there'll be fun and good music." "Can,t do it," said Sam, "haven't the trimmings ; (he was a hatter and knew the valne of trimmings,) look af my shirt.— 'Twouldn't do." ¦ " Never mind that," said liis friend " I can give you a sliirt of my own," and, stepping into an adjoining room, he bronght out a shirt big enocgh for Daniel Lambert. Hold¬ ing it up, he said: i " There, now, is a confortable, roomy shirt , for j-ou." " Oh, that won't do—I should lose myself in it entirek." ! " Well," said the good natured Boniface, "I guess, afler all, I can do better for you.— One of the girls in the kitchen is ironing some shirts for the boarders, and I can get : you one ttat will fit, auy how; just you ; hold on." He presently reappeared with a nice shirt, of quite another pattern, into which, having thrust hiirself, in an adjoining bed-room, , he made a hasty toilet, aud entered the ball- ' room. Being young and good-looking, he found as many partners as he wanted, and had a I selection from the prettiest girls in the room. , The other rustic beaux and the homely I belles, " didn't seem to like it" much. The , jealous lover went so far as to say: " I'll cut the comb of that conceited cock ¦ mighty quick, if he don't miud his eye!"

Remarkable Origin op Fires.—We make the following extracts from the Fire Mar¬ shal's records of tho origin of fires. Thoy are worthy of note.

" Won't you go up stairs and join the dan¬ cers?" askedthe landlord; " they're having a great time up thero ; don't you hear the fiddle, and the door a tremblin ?" I In those days stage-drivers were of the most '* popular'* cast of the community; and On the afternoon of the 19th of July last a carpenter shop on the seventh aveneu, be¬ tweeu 119 and 120th streets owned by James V. Reech, was burned to the ground. Mr. Reech's little hoy, aged between five and sis years, built a fire at tho ond of the shop to roast eggs, having previously seen his elder brother do so in the street. The fire com¬ municated to some shavings, and in a few our hero, knowing this, readily consented.— minutes tbo building was destroyed.—The He called the maid for a clean shirt, child got the matches from the mantle pieoe, j She came in with tho answer that the where they had been left by his mother, ' landlord liad lent it to Sam to dance in Children of this age imitate the examples of ' to-night, not knowing, or not thinking, that others, and as long as matches are left with- j ^^^ stage-driver would " want to use it that in their reach, they will use them. ! iiigbt!" ing of tho subject, "Gibbets, which have now \ become very uncommon, may, we think, ' have produced equivocal effects in thia way I (power of fascination.)

A fire broke out on Sunday aftemoon, " Nothin' in partickler, ouly when you get give a superstitions bins to the last aot ofthe will ? To see this ghastly appearance roaring its spectral form in some solitary place at nightfall, by a wood side, or barren heath^ to note the wretched scare-crow figure dang¬ ling upon it, black and wasted, parched in the sun, drenched in all the dews of heaven that fall cool and silent npon it, while this object of the dread and gaze of man feels no¬ thing, knows nothing, feara uothing, swings creaking iu the gale, unconscious of all that it has sufiertnl, or that other.-) suffer—there is sometliing in all those circumstances that may lead the miud to tempt the same fate, and place itself beyond the reach of mortal couspquences. It is a disagreeable contem- pl.T-tiou iu all respects. Tho broken slumbers that precede it—the half-waking out of them to the hideous dreams of what is to come— the feverish agony,^ or^ tho more frightful deadness to all feelings—the weight of eyes tliftt overwhelm the criminal's—the fainti useles.^ hope of a mockery of sympathy—the hangman, like a spectre crawling, near him— tho short helpless struggle—the last sickly pang:—all combine to render this punish¬ ment as disgusting as possible." pLANTisa Frl'it Trees.—As the season for transplanting trees is approaching, we have a word to offer as to the " best time''' for doing this work: we allude to spring and fall. It is well known 'hat thereare various opinions on this subject, and mauy are induced to wait six months from reading the views of some writer, when in fact he'd better have planted his trees. Know—it lining autumn—you are ready, and your soil is dry, send at once your order to your nurseryman, and don't delay—the fall is the ^^best time" for you. If it is spring and you are ready to plant, don't wait till fall on any accouut—tlie spring is then the ^'best time" for you. This delaying a matter so needful to be done as planting fruit trees, and dilly-dallying aloug from one year to an¬ other i.'i not the part of wisdom, and will never bring to our palates the delicious products of the viue and the tree. Don't stop now to consult anybody, but off with the order.— Get your grouud well prepared by two or three plowings. If you don't wish to plow the wholo ground, plow strips eight feet wide where you want your trees ; this will reduce tho labor of setting out amazingly. Finish by piling a bauk of oartli a foot high arouud each tree, packing firmly.—Prairie Farmer. J. MARTIN. WM. ir, AMER, SUCCESSOR TO JOHN G. MOORE.

Mr, M.'s little boy, aged three years, was looking for eggs in the shed, it being dark inside he rubbed a match to find tho nest, and on leaving, threw the match down amongst some straw. Shortly after the shed was on fire. Between sis and seven o'clock on Tuesday moming, July 29, a fire was discovered iu the clock case and looking-glass frame factory of Craig & Stevenson, No. 8 Gansevoort street- On investigation, it waa shown to have ori¬ ginated from combustion occasioned by a mix¬ ture of varnish scrapings aud cotton ragg thrown together tu a keg. Cabinet makerg and other persons using varnish, have, no doubt, at times, seen the scrapings bubble* bnt combustion was not supposed possible nntil this inquiry has shown it to be the case. Varnish scrapings should never be left over night in the shop. About half-past 8 o'clock, on Thursday, August 28, 1S56, a fire broke out ou the second floor of dwelling No. 192 Waverly Place, owned and occupied by Mrs. H. T. Davis. The servant girl, Ann McCarthy, was seut to get a cloak from the wardrobe ; she took a lighted lamp in her hand and pro¬ cured the cloak, but in doing so, the clothing inside caught fire from her light. A short time afterwards the room was found on fire. Cases of this kind are quite numerous. Lights shonld never bo taken into a closet or too near a wardrobe, as clothing hanging npon the door will often swing against tho light and take fire without the knowledge of those holding the light. Thoughts on Time.—" Time is money," aaid Franklin; but that is a worldly maxim. To the industrious and prudent man, seeking worldly good, it is iudeed money; hut to the earnest man, seeking knowledge and good¬ ness, it is wisdom that which is of a value incomparably higher than money. To both, then, it is precious; and they im¬ prove it eagerly and faithfully. By the oue, it is transmuted into gold and physical good; by the other, into wisdom and spiritual good. The proper improvement of time is a prao- tiual subject, and one easily enough under¬ stood in a general way, but after all not not sufficiently attended to. For it is not enough that time be improved ; how is it improved is an iioporiant consideration. It is well to enquire if any thing has been gained, and if so liowviudi; but a more important question is. What bas been gained ? Is it something worth the paius? U it something which will help to satisify my most pressing want ? Is it something of imperishable value ? And then I should ask, How well have I gained it ? Is it secure, so that I shall not let it slip ; or shall I be Ukely to retain it but a short time ? All these are important ques¬ tions with reference to the improvement of time Time is valuable to a man in propor¬ tion to the amouut of real good which he ob¬ tains and imparts dnring its continuance. Man muat work wisely and well. If he do so, then will his Ileeting time be chaged into that which is durable and even precious. Time flows on unceasingly. Day after day comes and goes. It was flrst future soon it appeared as present, and quickly it joined the past, and recedes farther and farther from the view. When future, hopes or fears, or both com¬ mingled, give it an imaginary shape; as the present, it was reality, sharp and stem, or, less often, a reality which seemed too bright to be indeed 30 ; as the past it is still reality, yet as it was hut is not, and shall not be it iB not contemplated with hope or fear, with joy or dread, bnt with pleasure or sorrow, with satisfaction or regret. In the tranagi^essor the past excites remorse; the present loath¬ ing ; the future, dread. In the obedient, the past excites eatisfaction; the present, peace and joy ; the future, hopes of greater good through with that shirt of mine that you've got ou your back, and are strattin' round iu, I'd just thank you to leave it at the bar!" A loud laugh followed thi.^ exposure; the cock's comh was cut; his feathers drooped ; and amidst much cackling he vanished fr im the " gay and festive scene." A. and happiness. THEEE SUICIDES. A mad, miserable fool, debauched aud ru¬ ined in body, miud aud estate, cut his throat. Horrible! said every body ; what a wretched victim of his own wicked folly I and tho man¬ gled corpse was put out of sight, and the poor man's name was forgotten as quickly as might bo: remembered with a shudder, if at all, even by those nearest and dearest to him. A thriving and enterprising man, young and strong, went into business at an uncom¬ monly early age. His devotion to his occu¬ pation could not be too highly praised. Early and late he was grubbing among his books and accounts, hurrying about to see this or that man, or plunged deep in the calcula¬ tions and figuriugs of a far-ahead speculation. He took no vacations; ho hardly ate; he gob¬ bled or bolted whatever he inserted into his stomach, as you may see a grim fireman shovel square junks of coal into the hot steamboat furnace-door. He rose early; he retired late. He did "chew"—but it was tobacco, not victuals; and he found that the harder he thonght, the more he "chewed;" for the stimulous of the nasty weed served to goad along his weary brains. Very good. He grew rich, and respected. He also gniw crooked and sallow, and cross and lean; and his breath—faugh! He died; aged thirty-nine. They had a very elaborate funeral, and Imried him mag¬ nificently ; for he had already, as the satirest said, "a very pretty fortune to begin the nest world with;" an 1 doubtless when the porter of heaven's gate spies a sonl coming, not all bare and naked, but with a gay hearse clattering along behind it, and plenty of pi!o- ple in hacks at five dollars each, ho gets up and admits that soul into Paradise with a low bow, aud no requisition for a ticket of admission whateverl lie had killed himself, however; but it was respectable, because it took almost twenty years to do it. A suicide, not for despera¬ tion, but for selfishness. There was a slender, eager, bright-eyed youth, a student. He studied as ambitious students do; sitting all day, sometimes all night, over his books. He ate good greasy boarding-house victuals, and swallowed the draff ridiculously called cofiee. He neither rode, nor walked, nor swam, nor boxed, nor sawed wood. He " took tho valedictory" at college; aud then, with the divine fire of love for men burning in his breast, and another destrnctive firo burning there too, aud showing its red signal on his cheek, he went out to more studies ; and in due time he became the wonderful young minister of an almost worshiping congregation. For a year or two he sustained tbe labor of some pastoral duty, and of his sermon-writing and delivery; and his labor was effective, hoth hecause he was earnest in it, and because his increasingly death-like look added a hor¬ rid power to his aspect and delivery, that quite charmed and overcame the young ladies, especially. But he died; and what a flaming obituary upon the ignorant boy! He had " given his life to save souls;" was a martyr to his ar¬ dent benevolence; an afl"ecting spectacle of the power of the spiritual over the earthly; and his early death was a "most monrafni and mysterious dispensation of that Provi¬ dence which had thus snatched away a most haloved minister from a bereaved congre¬ gation." The fool! as if he could not have done more of the work he honestly desired to do, if hehad Hved longerl "MysteriouB For tho Exaniloer & Herald. KoKTHDMBEKLASD, September G, 1S5G. Mk. Editor:—Thinking it might not be amiss to communicate a few lines to your excellent paper, I send you au account of a tonr I made, iu company with my friend James B. Mason, Esq., a better fellow than whom never lived. We started from Stras¬ burg ou Monday morning at seven o'clock, determined to enjoy ourselves in spito of dust, heat and sham democracy. Nothing of importance transpired on our way to Lan¬ caster. We then took the Harrisburg pike, which is so familiar to all your readers for dust, stones, &c., that a farther description, of it is au act of superogation. But therey was one new featuro in the caso; at ever grOQ shop on tho way we aaw a pole erected by the unterrified democracy, indicating that the fools are not all dead yot; and also in¬ dicating that the Fremont party employ their time bettor than by erecting poles, which only show tho clap trap expedients to which the bogus democracy resort to aid their rot¬ ten and desperate cause. After finding ourselves domiceled in the excellent hotel of our friend Major Coverly, and heing in the best of humors, we could do nothing less than smile, smoke and sally forth to see the ladies. But I found this an up-hill business as regards your humble ser¬ vant ; for my friend heing a good looking man, with an eye to the beautiful, threw me so far iu the shade, that in southern par¬ lance " I was no whar." With a heart boil¬ ing with the black gall of bitterness, I was on the point of penning a letter to his wife- On second thought I concluded it was naughty to tell tales out of school, and so I left thc matter rest. After having a long talk with "mine host," the Major, aud finding him all right on the goose question, and also finding that Dauphin was all right to the tune of 1000 for the Path-finder, I retired to dream of beiug present at the inauguration of J, C. Fremont. At seven in the morning we left Harrisburg for this place, heing guided by the canal telegraph wire and winding Sus¬ quehanna. We fonnd the road, as a general thing, very good, with the exception of a short distance after we left Harriaburg, where a railroad track was ruu near the road, the blocks of which obstructed the road so much that we several times came near being pushed into the canal; and to men who have a cat-like antipathy to water, unless mixed with some of Brown's brandy, this was rather appalling. But notwithstanding all this, we soon got in a good road, and had every va¬ riety of scenery that can be imagined. The eternal hills, stretching out like sentinels keeping guard over the winding river, which .¦=parkled in the clear sun-light like burn- isbed silver; the trees rising above each other, clothed in the green of autumn, soon <ledtined to melt into the barrenness of win¬ ter, reminding us of that great change which must soou take place in frail humanity, at ouce combined to cliange our minds from gay to grave. One thing struck me as sing¬ ular in all this region; the farmers top aud blade their coru contrary to the custom of our Lancaster county farmers, who cut it off; but this, I presume, must be owing to their short crop of hay. I must also not omit stating that we found few hotels on the way, and those we did see looked as though their liquors would kill at forty feet off. We were compelled to stop at sundry pumps, (recollect all this time we were in an agne region;) and finding the water bo cold that we were in danger of being turned into an iceberg, we mixed some of Brown's hest old cognac with it, merely to take off the chill; and no donbt all the old fogies thought we belonged to the unterrified. Heavens! what a mis¬ take ! At the present writing, there is a dram and fife heating, and Ex-Governor Big¬ ler, the mouth-piece of Buchanan iu the Senate, is about addressing the unterrified, and telling some more of his d—d beef lies on Fremont. May they, like Macheth's amen, stick in his throat and choke him. We are at present stopping at Mrs. Burrs', the best hotel in the place, and one which, in point of accommodations, will satisfy the most fastidious; and as it is an item to stop at a good hotel, I advise all my friends who come this way to stop at Mrs. Burrs'.

We thonght we were men and women, but we were ohildren there; the old-faahioned grand-mother was blind in her eyes, bnt she saw with her heart, as she always did. "We threw our long shadows throngh the open door, and she felt them as they fell over her form, and she looked dimly np, and she said:
Edward I know, and Lucy's voice I can hear, bnt but whose is that other ? It must be Jane's : for she had almoat forgotten the folded hands. Ob, no! not Jane's, for she^ let me see—she ia waiting for me, isn't she ? and the old grandmother wandered and wept

There is a large old kitchen somewhere in the past, and an old-fashioned fireplace thereiu, with its smooth old jambs of atone ; ,

that have beeu tom and bleeding by the way, i One of us, men we thonght wo were, is or been made "beautiful," and walked upon weeping; .=;lie hears the half-suppressed floors of tessellated gold. There are tones in sobs, and she says, as ahe extends her feeble the corner, wherewith we grasp a coal, and , l^and. Here my poor child, rest npon your "blowingforalittlelife.'MightedourfirstcaD-. grand mothers's shoulder: she will protect
die; there is a shovel, wherewith were drawn forth tho glowing, embers in which we saw our first fancies and dreamed our first dreams; the shovel with which we stirred the logs uutil the sparks rushed up the chimney as if a forge was in biast below, aud wished we had so many lambs, or so many marbles, or so many somethings tliat we coveted; and so it was we wisb»iil our lirst wishes.
chair; tliere is a little wheel in the coruer, a hig wheel in the garret, a loom in the cham¬ ber. There are chestfuls of linen aud yarn, and quilts of rare patterns, and samplers in frames.
And every where and always the dear old wrinkled faces of Iter whoi»e firm, elastic step ' mocks the feeble srnuter of her cliiUren's , children—the old fasioned grandmother of ^ twenty years ago. She, the very Providence of the old homestead ; she who loved ns all, ¦ and said she wished tliere were more of us to ; love and took all tbe school in the hollow for I grandchilereu besides. A great expansive, -. heart was hers, beneath that woollen gown, ' or that more stately bombazine, or that solo heir loom of silken texture. !
"We can see ber to day with those mild, blue eyea, with more of beauty in them than time j could touch, or death do more tban hide— j those eyes that held both smiles and tears } within the faintest call of every one of us, ' and soft reproof that seemed no passion but regret. A white tress has escaped from be¬ neath her snowy cap ; she has just restored a wandering lamb to its mother; she length¬ ened the tether of a vine that was straying over a window, as she came in, and plucked a four leaved clover for Ellen- She aits down by the little wheel — a tress is running through her finger-s from the distafi^s dishev¬ elled head, when a small voice cries, " Grand¬ ma," from the old red cradle, and "Grandma," Tommy shouts from the top of the stairs. Gently she lets go the thread, for her pa¬ tience is almost as beautiful as her charityj and she touches the little red bark a mo¬ ment, till the yonng voyager is in a dream agaii ;i2d then directs Tommy's unavailing attempts to harness the cat.
The tick of the clock runs faint and low, and she opens the mysterious door and pro¬ ceeds to wind it up. We are all on tip-toe, and w« i"=ii ^n a breath, to he lifted up one by one and look in tho hundredth timo npon the tin cases of the welghtB, and the poor lonely pendulum, which goes to and fro by its little dim windows; and our petitions were ^1 granted, and we are lifted up, and we all touch with the finger the wonderful weights, and the music of the wheel is re¬ sumed.
Was it Mary to be married, or Jane to he wrapped in a shroud ? So meekly did she- fold the white hands of the one upon her still bosom, that there seemed a prayer in them there ; and so sweetly did ahe wreathe the white rose in the hair of the other, that one would not havo wondered had more ro¬ ses budded for company. How she stood between us and apprehended harm; how the rudest of ns softened beneath the gentle pressure of her tremulous hand! From her capacious pocket that hand was ever with¬ drawn closed, only to be opened in our own, with the nnts she had gathered, with the cherries she had plucked, the little egg she had found, the "tum over" she had baked, the trinket she had purchased for us as the products of her spinning, the blessings she stored for us—the offspring her heart.
What treasures of story fell from those old lips of good fairies and evil; of the old f times wheu she was a girl; but we won¬ dered if ever; but then she couldn't he hand¬ some or dearer—she was ever little. And then, when we begged her to sing: " Sing us one of the old aongs you used to sing to mother, grandma."
Children, I can't sing, sho always aaid, and mother nsed to always lay her knitting softly down, and the kitten stopped playing with the yarn on the fioor, and the clock ticked lower in the corner, and the fire died dowu to a glow, hke an old heart that is neither chilled nor dead, and grandmother sang. To be snre it would not do for the parlor and concert-room now-a-days; but then it was the old kitchen and the old-fashioned grandmother, and the old ballad, in the dear old times, and we can hardly see to write for the memory of them, though it is a hands- breath to the sunset.
Well, she sang. Her voice was feeble and wavering, like a fountain just ready to fail; hut theu, how sweet-toned it was, and it be¬ came deeper and stronger; but it could not grow sweeter. What "joy of grief" it was to sit there around the fire, all of us except¬ ing Jane, and her we thought we saw when the door was opened a moment by the wind ; but then we were not afraid, for was not it her old smile she wore ? To sit there around the fire, and weep over the woes of the babes in the woods, who laid down side by side in the great solemn shadows ; and liow Btrangely glad we felt when the robin red¬ breast covered them with leaves; and, last of all, when the angel took them out of the night into day everlasting.
We may think what we will of it now, but the song and the story heard aronnd the kitchen fire have colored the thoughts and the lives of most of us, have given us the germs of whatever poetry blesses our hearts, whatever of memory blooms Jn our yester¬ days. Attribute whatever we may to the sohool and the school-master, the ravs which make that little day we call life, radiate from the God-swept circle of the hearth-atone.
Then she sings an old lullaby she sang to mother—her mother sang it to her ; hut she does not sing it through, and falters ere it is L ''one. She rests her head upon her hands, 1— it is silent in the old kitchen. Some¬ thing glitters down between her fingers in the firelight, and it looked like rain in the soft sunshine. The old grandmother is think¬ ing when she first heard the song, and ofthe voice that sang it; when a light-haired and light-hearted giri, ahe hung around that mother'a chair, nor aaw the shadows of the years to come. 01 the days that are no more I What words unsay, what deeds undo,
to set hack just this once the ancient clock of time ?
So our UtUe hands were for ever clinging to her garments and staying her as if from dying, for long ago ahe had done Uving for herself, and Hved alone in ub. But the old
AN AMUSING STORY
That "they who dance muat pay the pip¬ er," is a aaying well illustrated in the follow¬ ing anecdote, sent to ns by a friend for pre¬ servation iuthe drawer: "It may uot be new," he saya, "where the parties are known —for the story bas been told in print before, by one who waa at one time a resident of the county where the circumstance occured—but it will be new to the great majority of your readers:"
Sam- happened to arrive at the pleas¬ ant village of S- , one mild autumn aven¬ ing, and "put up" at ita only tavem ; and as he entered he heard " music and dancing in an upper chamber." The landlord, who was an old acquaintance, told him that a ball was going on in the hall above. "Come, Sam, go up ; there'll be fun and good music."
"Can,t do it," said Sam, "haven't the trimmings ; (he was a hatter and knew the valne of trimmings,) look af my shirt.— 'Twouldn't do."
¦ " Never mind that," said liis friend " I can give you a sliirt of my own," and, stepping into an adjoining room, he bronght out a shirt big enocgh for Daniel Lambert. Hold¬ ing it up, he said:
i " There, now, is a confortable, roomy shirt
, for j-ou."
" Oh, that won't do—I should lose myself in it entirek."
! " Well," said the good natured Boniface, "I guess, afler all, I can do better for you.— One of the girls in the kitchen is ironing some shirts for the boarders, and I can get
: you one ttat will fit, auy how; just you
; hold on."
He presently reappeared with a nice shirt, of quite another pattern, into which, having thrust hiirself, in an adjoining bed-room,
, he made a hasty toilet, aud entered the ball-
' room.
Being young and good-looking, he found as many partners as he wanted, and had a
I selection from the prettiest girls in the room.
, The other rustic beaux and the homely
I belles, " didn't seem to like it" much. The
, jealous lover went so far as to say:
" I'll cut the comb of that conceited cock
¦ mighty quick, if he don't miud his eye!" Meanwhile Sara felt that he was the
'' observed of all observers, and his pride was not a little elated.
