ANNALS OF THE VILLAGE. BEl'TYSI'EVEJVS. It is many a long vear since I saw Si mon Stevens yet I remember him a distinctly as if! had seen him yesterday. Ho was a huik, sharp visaged man, with deep set eyes, thin lips, and n loose, attenuated frame, looking for all the world like a ham built by contract. Simon supported this singular frame uy aaic oi liciiUKIl seeds, WHICH lit' raised in summer, and carried to various parts of the Union, during (he winter. In travelling, he nvallcd the boasted cheapness ol modern stages and steam boats, for he asserted that he had madt many a comfortable journey from Boston to Montreal, without expending more than a pistareen. Simon's neighborcalled him 4a close unsociable man,v and perhaps it was too true, for the little he earned was obtained by hard labor and rigid economy; ai d he had but small compassion for those who had less industry, and greater desires than himself. But unpromisingas Simon was in temper and aspect, there were not wanting dames, who were eager to undertake the task of ameliorating his character. The most prominent among them was Betty Tower a muscular, raw boned damsel, to whom nature had proved a most cruel step-mother; for never was love frightened away by a more sour and malignant face, ai'd never waj maiden so anxious to secure the good will of that capricious little urchin. Hoed'wuld have filled a volume with the "Whims and Oddities'7 of Betty's amours; but I am fain to pass overall save the last, and most successful one. Simon Stevens had a cat and dog, on which he lavished some of the kindness, that warms everv human heart, and which can never be utterly driven away. When Simon took a "tramp," as he termed it, his cat and dog led a most forlorn existence; and when he returned from a long journey, it grieved him to look upon Tab and Growlers dissipated habits, and to observe how reluctant they were to stay quietly a home. Betty Totter scraped acquaintance with these penerse animals; nnd, by. dint ol caresses, and a spare bone, now and then, they became more than half domesticated under her solitary roof. Hence it was necessary for Simon to go mere irequenuy to claim property, and it was likewise incumbent upon him to thank Miss Betty for her persevering ai r ii . . kindness so the acquaintance went on by little and little, 'till Simon at last

went for his dog and cat, and brought bitious to place a beautiful daughter home a wife to keep them in order. Onjyond the depressing influence of her

places he had just planted, yet he could

never summon resolution to send her into the house. Ev ry where the pretty innocent was at the old man's side, at the hearth stone, and in the church, in his garden and his bed. So much had his rugged nature been subdued and soften ed by her artless prattle, that poor chub by little rogues, who in days gone by would not have even dared to pe-p within his doors, now frequently went from thence with pockets full of nuts and gingerbread: and the little crea ture, who had proved so powerful in her helplessness, was such an one as a father well might love; for though Elizabeth Stevens was the offspring of such un sightly parents, she was a perfect cherub m beauty. The first time I saw Simon with Ins new charge, he was weeding: his garden, while his wife sat knitting at the door, and happy little Betty was trotting round with her tinv water pot, doing a vast deal of mischief, but imagining herself very useful just like a multitude of bustling politicians, who are taught by the crafty and experienced to believe they are turning the crank, which moves a nation s machinery. 1 then thought that child's dimpled face had the most gushing expression of mirth and happiness I had ever beheld. Six or seven years passed before I saw Elizabeth again. When dining at the princely mansion of the wealthy George Cartwright my attention was one day particularly attracted by a pretty little waiting maid with pink calimanco petticoat, and short baize gown, in whose expressive features I instantly recogniz edmy favorite. The struggle between her parents' parsimony and affection had ended in putting her out at profitable service, with the privilege of spending her Sundays with them. A happy day it was (or Simon and Bettv! Had Mr. Cartwright himself been expected to spend his Sabbaths at their humble dwelling, the floor could not have been more neatly sanded, or the fresh strawberries culled more nicely, than the were for this darling child. Indeed the love they bore this docile affectionate, and blooming creature, was the one strong, ruling passion, like Aaron's serpent swallowing up all th- rest. Every look and action betrayed how heart and oul were bound up in her; and the youthful lovei in his fo ulness and jealousy, was never made so unhappy by neglect, as was honest old Simon, when this beloved daughter seemed less reluctant than uual to bid him farewell. But alas, the strongest earthly ties must be broken Simon Stevens was, in process of time , gathered to his fathers! He died as he would have wished to die his eyes resting upon his daughter's face, and his cheek nestled fondly upon her arm. Soon after this event, I missed Elizabeth from behind my chair, when I dined with my friend George Cartwright. Her modest and attractive looks, had interested me so much that 1 could not forbeur inquiring what had become of her. Mr. Cartwright replied, she was too handsome for a servant, and that to confess the truth he foui d the disposition of his own girls somewhat injured by the notice she received from visiters, especially as their wild, frank, good hearted, hut mischievous brother, had more than once declared he wished he had a sister half as handsome as Betty Stevens. My friend added, that her widowed mother had collected together all the monet she had saved so parsimoniously , and was actually preparing to go to the West Indies, with a distant relation, in order to establish a boarding house. I had alwavs known her to be an ambi tious woman, w hose powerful traits of. icharacter' needed bat peculiar circum . .. . . ... stances to call them into prodigious ex ercise; but this spirit of enterprise at her time oflife, with her secluded habits., seemed to me almost incredible.

The following lively sketch is from the same charming pen which adorns our columns under the signature of "Norma " , The fair writer deserves a vote of thanks from the corp Editorial. A NEWSPAPER A newspaper! It is the cradle of genius tbe record of truth. Wood-cut engravings adorn it, and tbe Muses smile graciously upon it. A newspaper! It a picture of the world. Cast thine eyes over its grim pages; like that, all is confusion and bustle each one pushing forward to attract attention by arts no matter bow trivial Little ships and big ships; steam boats with their roaring wheels and black smoke, wbiz

Straoge that between both, men can not get money and keep it. Some spplicants for public notice are very modest in their approaches, only soliciting favour as long as they deserve if: others are more aware of their claims on public gratitude, and surely some are prompted by the very spirit of philaothro- , m . i mm py. Ihe same divers n.'U scene: in one coulmn a fire; in the next a successful speculation. Here a man eas himself to death, there a child is starving; the widow solicits a pittance, and the rich man offers his loan; the register of Death numbers the old. the middle aged, and the young. Matrimony! ah, the hat is generally long and appnlling JVctice! also, some Jonathan is close at hand, advertis ing bis refr ctory rib; what is the matter with thy wife, friend? is thy steak cooked too much! or are thy potatoes burnt up? or thy door lock ed at twelve P. M. sod thou on the out side? or did she love gadding about? she must be a mild crea'ure, for she makes no angry retort. A newspaper! It makes one love this little round bill of earth All the ships are well built copper bottomed, and fast sailing; tbe houses are. in good repa'r xfensive outgrounds, del g' lfully situated; n lime-bleached linens or damf"d calibres; no mouldy almonds or musty ranges, or sour raisins; Md ria wine and Spanish segars are all of trnsAtlantic origin In short, every thing cooks from its proper place.

Much as our world has been abused by misanthrope and depaed by poets, we doubt whether they would fiod in th clouds any1 thing half so convenient. Why, here is every thing 1 heafp-s and Circusses, rope-dancers and singer, gardens and gunpowder; doctors for the sick, teeth for tbe toothless, wigs f"r the bald, braces for tbe ill-shaped, rouge for ihe pal, and white lead fnr the rosy It is indeed a bright and beautiful world, and we pray, gentle reader, that thou mayst be preserved from the spirit of Ijve and poetry: only read thy newspaper punctually, and it will always appear to thee bright and beautiful. Preaching. A very able and scrupulously orthodox divinn, and one who laboured diligently in the cause of his Divide Master, in a sermon on the efficacy of pre aching, says: There is a strain of ureai hin, which, although it wears the garb of zeal, is geld mt a proof of any power but the power of self. I mean an gry, scolding preacnn.g. Hie uospei is a benevolent scheme, and whosever speaks in the power of il, will assuredly 11 V.I . I I I eptsiK in iove. in me niosi solemn aeei. ration of GodV displeasure against it, a preacher m y give evidence of a dh-po silionofgood will and compassion to sin ners,- and assuredly will, it he speak under the h.fluenre of tiuih. If we can indulge invective and bitterness in the pulpit, we know not what spirit we are of: but are gratifying our own evil tempers under lb- j r tence of a concern for the cause of God and truth. John Randolph. During some period ot Mr. K-indolph s political career, h had the ill fortune to offend a coxcombish vouuc fellow, who determined to avenge himself by insulting the Roanoke orator on the first opportunity that c-

be-icuned. At length the opportunity prt sented itself, when the young sprig

meeting Kandnjph on the pavement, . ft a walked up to him very impudently and said, "I never give the way io a d n 'v iiia i v i n iiuuii ii i iiiiiinuuitri t pulling off his hat and making the gentleman a low bow, replied, "Well, sir, I always do;" and gave him the pavement. A female, the wife of a frame work knitter, residing in Liecester. made her o i iv 3 v i , i g ne i' uus nana to t a a v s toge t ne r. Being asked by the Mayor why she did so: plied, "JJf cause he cut ail the sr a crut elf the loaf." The worthy Mayor seemed to consider this as a clear proof, that he was a crusty husband.
