VIVE LA BAGATELLE! It would appear that John Tyler had been reading one of - the best commedies ever writen Sherjdan13"Rival31,-suppo3e in the place of the redoubtable Beverly, we take
Mexico. Put Texas for Lvdia, and trans-
- . ... - form Bob Acres and Sir Lucius OTrigger
into John Tyler and John C. Calhoun Bob Acres Tyler is in love with LydiaTexas who is beloved by Beverly (Mexico); Beverly having the best right to her, Bob Acres is finally persuaded to challenge Beverly for darin" to fall in love with the same woman. Acres had just courage enough to come to
the writing of the challenge, but finally lets Us courage "ooze out' at the palm of his hands," or "sneak oil" before he concluded the matter. Now let Sheridan speak for the Texas comedy, substituting the character above referred to. It will be seen that John , C. has hard. work lo get John T.'s courage to the sticking point 'Ty. I have followed Cupid's jack-o-'lau Jem, and find myself in a quagmire at last. Look on me as on a very ill-used gent!(Hian, Cal. A rival in the case, is there? Then sure you know what is to to be done 1
Ty. What Might him: Cal, Ay, lo bo sure: what can I mean else ! - Ty. But, he has given me no provocation, Cal. Can a man commit a more heinous offence against another, than to fall in love with the same woman? O, by my soul it is the most unpardonable breach of ftiendehip. Ty, Breach of friendship! Ay, but I have no acquaintance with this man. 1 never saw him in my life. Cal. Tim's no argument at all. He has
the less right, then, to take such a liberty. Ty Gad, that's true. I grow full of anger, sir Calhouu. I fire apace 1 Odds, hilts and blades'. 1 find a man may have a deal of valor in him, and not know it. But coldn't Ieontripe by some means to have a Utile right on my side? . - Cal. TVhat the devil signifies right? Da you think Achilles, or Alexandar the Great, ever enquired where the right lay? Ty. Your words are a Grenadier's inarch to my heart! I believe courage must be
catching! I certainly do feel a kind of valor
rising as it were--a kind of courage as I may aay. Odds flints, pans and triggers! I'll challenge him directly! ,
Cal. Ah! my friend, I could show you
a range of ancestry in the O'l rigger line. Ty. O, sir, 1 have had ancestors too. Every man of 'em Colonel or Captain in the
mania. Odds, balls and barrels! say no
more, I'm braced for it. The thunder of i '0t hot and wearv

There must be no passion at all in the case, Thcsa ihiiags should always be done civilly, ; Ty. I must be in a passion, Sir Cal. let me be inarage ifyoulove me. Come, here's pen and paper. Sits down to write. I would the ink were red! Indite, I say indite. How shall I begin? Odds, bulle.s and blades! I'll write a good bold hand, however. Col. Pray, compose yourself. Tv, Come now shall I begin with an oath? Do Sir Cal. Jet me begin with a DAiWE. Sir C. dictates the letter. Ty. exclaims.! So that's done Well, Til fold it up.

The upshot of the whole matter may be seen at the close of the Message,. It tapers .off to nothing, as Acres challenge did when he saw his antagonist. He exclaims Sir Cal. edge in a word every now and then about my honor. . Valor will come and go. Yes, my valor is certainly going. It is sneaking off.

large", round, ripe watermellon. It was earlier ripe than its fellows, for it had been the object of Ebon's special care. Again
and again had he turned it over to the warm
sun, and just before he left he raised it up
on a smooth flat stone to enjoy every advantage of warmth and air. O, if I only had

This was not wished once, twice or thrice,
but many times, until it grew to my very
mind. . ; "
'What are vou thinkina of" asked Bill
Parsons, as 1 walked silently besides him in
the street, an hour after. - 'Something,1 replied I significantly. 'Tell me, now; I won't tell, said he coax insly. "
After some slight demur, I told him how I
I desired Ebon's melon for the pic nic.
'Capital!' said Bill, who was very fond of
Melons, let's have it!7 - 'Why, mother will not let me have it, be
cause it is not her's to give, and Ebon has
not conic home,' replied I.
'O never mind thai! You know what the college boys tells about their sprees. They
make nothing of robbing ben roosts, and

Ebon's melon.
. Many words passed between us, and at
last it did not seem a very bad joke, for in
that aspect could I alone persuade myself
lo see it. I went home that night, or nev

Evening stole on and Bill Parsons no- Ion

About the garden I hung, and as often to

After breakfast, my mother tied up the eatables she had prepared for me, in a nice white bag, and kissing my cheek bade me be a good boy.

THE STOLEN MELON. It was vacation, and Ebon and Robert had accompanied our father to the city. During their absence the boys proposed a pic nic at Clark's Point a mile or two up the river. It was given in hunor of two old associates, now collegians, on a vacation vist home. I was the youngest guest, and therefore proud of tny invitation. Much talk was then among the boys, what they should oat and what they should drink, and how the affair
I cannot carry thi3 melon,' said I, open
ing the bag and looking at it with remorseful
pirit. 'I cannot carry this poor melon.'
Out came ihe melon and, tossing it over tho fence, I scampered on with all the speed
I was master of. . The day passed off wearily enough to me. Bill Parsons called me a , coward, when he beheld no melon, and his bitter taunts rankled iu my heart all day. What wonder, what regrets, attended the
discovery of the theft. .. 'That beautiful melon stolen!' exclaimed Ebon believing it to be impossible. That you took such pain3 with!'" said Robert. 'What an ugly thief!' I am very sorry, my sou,' and father lookedvery regretfully. You will have another soon, Ebon,' said our mother, encouragingly. ' 'But it will not be like thai, mother I
did nurse it so carfully. Poor Ebon! I cannot describe . the mis
ery, tho fear, the wretchedness which tore my heart during the days which followed. Where the happy independence of conscious
integrity?' I cringed before the affectionate
caresses of my brothers. Appetite fled, aiid spirits forsook me. When my mother, with anxious look, feared I was sick, I coldly answered, and rudely fled from her enquiries. Every object I beheld seemed to reflect one dreadful image that I was a thief. I bore it until I could bear it no longer. It was Saturday alternoon, and I turned distastefully away from all Saturday afieroou fiolics, I immediately sought my father's countingroom, 'Father are you alone!' I asked the door being ajar. 'Yes, my sou; walk in, I am happy to see you,' and he put aside his newspaper. In I went, and shut the door firmly hehind me. Planting myself courageously be fore him, while the life-blood seemed oozing from my heart Faiher,' I began'it was I who stole Ebon's melon J I stole il in the night.' I shall never forget the grief-expression which came suddenly over my father's face as he looked at me. I fell on my knees be
fore him aud hid my face, but I could not cry. ; He laid his hands upon my head - 'Ralph did you forget that God beheld you?. " - The sad earnestness of the inquiry penetrated my inmost soul. With . quick and
broken utterance, I rehearsed tho story of
my guilt.
Father, father! can you forgive me? Shall
I ever be happy again: What shall J do!
were the impetuous questions of my hot and aching heart. He did not speak for a moment, and then his voice quivered. Had he sternly Bent me from his presence, had he
whipped me, 1 could have borne anything
better thau his sad and quivering voice, My father, how I bless thy memory ? 'My son,' he at length said, slowly and distinctly, you have broken a' great law of God. You have betrayed theallbction of a brother. You have violated the confidence of your family.' I felt as if I wanted to die then. fBut, my son, thank God you have confessed this great sin. It shows you are penitent, and, pentieut, you may bo forgiven and restored, my son.' . How did my aching pent-up feelings then
My father lifted me up and sat me on his
cnees, great boy that I was, but I dared not
ook mto his face. . ' " ' Yes they must know this, Ralph, painful
story as it must be.'
'Now, father, 1 exclaimed, interrupting
lim, 'tell them all I have been so afraid to
ook them even in the face. O, I would lide nothing any longer. There wa3 a long, sad pause. 'Will you go aud tell mother? I asked. . 'Yes, Ralph,' he answered sorrowfully.
I then went away into a closer adjoining
the counting-room, and sat down upon an
old trunk of papers, there alone and
unobserved, to await my fatherV return
from the house. , In an hour s ture, and it
seemed ages, he came back and unfolded to
me the result at this sad consultation with my
mother, in the requirements ot which I num
bly and heartily acquiesced. There I re
rnained until supper time, when he took me
by the hand aud led me home, without speak
ing but there was a pitying tenderness in
his manner, which weut to my very heart
could not appear at supper, but sought the
solitude of my father's chamber. How
thankful did I feel, humiliating as was mysitu
ation, that the great wall ot partition,- which
gult had made between me and my family
was last broken down, and 1 had no longer
to bear in secrecy a dreadful burden. In an
hour's time my father called me to the sit
ling room. It was the season tor evening
devotions, and my mother, sisters, and broth
ers, were already seated at their accustom'
ed places. Jear my lather was an empty
chair, in which he motioned me to sit. The doors were closed, and the siillnes of death
pervaded the room. One hasty glance
stole towards my mother's face, and beheld
a paleness on her cheek and dimness iu her
eye, which I shall never forget.'
'1 have something to say,' began my fath
er, in a low voice, and he related all I had
told him, without either blaming or extenu
ating. In striking and forcible language did
he represent the dauger and guilt of disguis
ing any . sin under harmless innocent
names. . .
'Sin is no joke,' said he, impressively, 'and
a propnet of God, in stern and strong Ian
guage, has denounced a wo against those
who call evil good, and put light for dark
ness, every eye was fixed upon him 'and now I hope Ralph is penitent; he feels he can never be happy again until he is forgiven. Ebon, if you forgive your brother his great wrong come anil tell him so.' That dear brother flew towards me, weeping aud broken hearted as I sat, and clasping my hands in his, exclaimed, 'From my heart I forgive you, Ralph!' while the great tears glistened in his eyes. He would
have fallen on my neck, but my father motioned him away. . 'Now we must carry the matter before God,' said my father, solemnly, and the family knelt in prayer. He placed his hand on my head as he clearly and distinctly laid opopen my guilt to the God of Heaven; then humbly did he pray for my forgiveness. How earnest did he plead for my soul! How ''e besought that 1 might be cleansed by the blood of Christ, and dedicate myself to the
service of my Heavenly Master! Then how
did he pMead for us all, that we might so
live upon earth as to become a re-unilod family around the eternal throne! That agonizing, earnest prayer will follow me to last
lite, um l not then realize that sin must
be no slight thing, albeit committed in darkness and alone, which could bring such ter
ror and wretchedness, to myself, could tear
with grief a parent s heart, and which required the blood of Jesus Christ to wash a way!
I had known the peace of well doing had 1
not reaped the bitter fruit of wrong doing?
ai y tamer saw mis and said, as we arose 'Let this matter never be alluded to or men
tioned henceforth. Then little Alice came tome, and unpin
ning the blue kerchief at her side, she loving
ly clasped one arm about my neck, for I re
sumed my seat, and with the other tenderly
wiped my face. s
'Dear Ralph, I love you tenderly, and Fan
ny does too; she says she loves you better than she does George, if he Is her brother.'
Precious little comforter! How dear was your tender and child-like sympathy, in that
hour ot humiliation and repentance.
Often, in later years, have I envied the
blessed gut ot a sister, iuinistering spirits
