As I was going past Mr. Josh Carter's

tavern the ether day7,! heard a terrible noise in the bar-room, and thinks I, I'll just put my head in and see what is the matter. "vvnooran:' roared a neap of felbws, "here's Johcny Biddle, he'll go, and that m ikes ten" and hauled me in among them. What's the occasion? says I. 0,a sleigh ride over to Shaw's (every body goes to Shaw's that goes a sleigh riding) with gals, fiddles, and frolic. Whoorah, says I. I motion, says Poet. Patridge, that every gentleman go right straight now, and get his elei and lady, and meet at Hanks' corner; and with another whoorah, we burst out of doors and scattered. I ran foil speed to the widow Beairs. Her daughter Patly is the handsomest girl in Cascombay. I had given her some pretty broad hints, and only waited for a good chance to pop the question. And out it shall come this very night, says !. i 1 bounced into widow Beau's out of breath, and was near catching Patty in the suds. She bad just done washing, and wa9 wringing out, standing in the midst of tubs, pails, mops and kettles. She was struck all of a heap , at the sight of her spark, and would hue blushed nicely, I guess, if she hadn't been as red as she could be already. A word in your ear Patty, says I, giving her a wink, and stepping aside into a corner, and up and told her what was brewing. I'll tun and borrow the Deacon's sleigh, and come back right away, ?ays I. O, you aeedn't be in such a tearin' hurry, says she, for I've got to shift from top to toe.! You seo what a pickle I am in. Ah, Patty, says I, beauty when unadorned isadorned the well I vow, 6ays Patty, says she. And offl shot, for how was I to follow up such a btld speech? but I couldn't help sniggering all the way to the Deacon's, to think how swimmingly matters were going on. I was so full of this that I entirely forgot to make up a story to fob off upon the deacon, til! I got almost to the door; for the Deacon is a sworn enemy to all frolicking, and so is bis mare, I'll tell him, says I, I'll tell him I want to carry a grist to mill. But that will be found out no matter, so it is after the election, as the politicians say. The deacon gave a mortal squint at my face, when I did my errand, but 1 was safe behind a shirt collar. He then fell to chewing his cud and considering. Mother's clean out, says I both rye and injun. The Deacon spit. Well neighbor, if you are afear'd to trust a fellow, here's two shillings aforehand. Poh, poh, John,says he, walking ud and nnrketiog the money; not trust youhear that now--Joshua, tackle up Sukev. uu n u.iT- iuc inner siow, John and now I think of it, you mav bring back my griat, that is now at the mill and look sharp at the miller, John, when he strikes the toll measure. It was too late to stick at lies, so I promised every thing, jumped into the sleigh, and steered to the widow's with flying colors. It is the beighth of gentility, you must JfDow, for a lady to make her beau wait s long as possible, on such an occasion.

jT sat over a hcP of warm ashes in the

'widow Beans parlor, listening to Patty stamping about in her stocking feet, in the chamber over head, for one good hour." Then 1 stood up to the lookingglass and frizzled up my hair, changed my shirt pin to a new place, thought over some speeches to make under the Buffalo skin, and finally laid a plot to lug in the awful question in a sort of slanting iashion. At last Patty appeared in her glory; Jand I was just crooking my elbow to lead ner out, when in come mother Bean. When are you gowyin to, Patty? A slay ridin' mother. What, and leave your cousin Dolly all alone, to suck her fingers? A pretty howd'ye do, that, after coming all the way from Saco to see you. Here was a knock down argument. All my plans of courting and comfort melted down and ran off in a moment. 1 saw directly that the widow was resolved to I push big Dolly Fisher into my sleigh, whether or no; and there was no remedy, for the widow Bean is a stump that is neither to be got round nor moved out cf the way. I made some mention about the small size cf the sleigh, but bhe shut my mouth instantly. Let me alone, says she, I went a sleighing afore you was born, youngster. And if I don't know bow to pack a sleigh, who does? Patty Bean, stow yourself away here, and slink yourself up small. It there isn't room, we must make room, as the fellows used to say. Now Dolly, hoist yourself in there. And she tumbled h r into the sleigh like a shot from a shovel, or a cart load of pumpkins into a gondola. It was chuck full of her. O, she is a whopper, 1 tell ye. Why, Johnny Biddle, in my day they used to pack us layer upon layer. At this hint, I sneaked round to Patty, to begin the second layer upon her lap. But the widow wa? wide awake. She clenched me by the collar, and patting upon Dolly's knees, here's the driver's seat, says she. Plant your feet f!t and firm, niece jump up Johnny and now, away with her, my lad. By this time I had got so ravin' mad that r could hold in no longer. I fell foul of theold mare, and ifl didn't give it to her about right, then there s none o' me, that's all. The Deacon counted the welts upon her hide a week afterwards, when he called on me to a reck oning, which was made with chalk upon the upper flap of his every day hat. Sucky not understanding such jokes took the bit in her teeth and shot off, right on eend, like a flash of true Con necticut lightning. Jemini! how we swimmcd ever it: and housen and burns and fences and pigstyes flew by us like scud by the moon. And yonder is Hanks' corner. Whoorah! and whoorah! answered all the ladies and gentlemen with one voice. Sukey, scared at the noise, turned the corner with a flirt, and the sleigh was bottom upwards in a whoa there! whoa! The first! thing that 1 knew was that I was in the bottom of a snow bank, jammed down under a half ton Dolly Fisher. I thought I never should see daylight again and when they hauled me out, ! left a print in the snow very much like a cocked up hat knocked into the middle of next week, as the sailors say.

a,0J,rk,i i, ii r j . city, who were called to coiult about and every body hallooing and screaming' A a .i e r- . J J ia sick matrscase, A inend ot the faai-

iui juy. Peter Shaw heard the racket two rimes on, lor ne u n to Kicking up a dust in tbe best room, to put it to rights, and when we arrived, the lloor was swept,, iue nes. japan candlesticks pnraael, tne fire place filled with green wood, and lit tie kirn was anchored close under the jamb to tug at the broken-winded bellowses. No fire appeared, but there were strong symptoms of it, for there was no lack of smoke ; and part of it missing the way up chimney, strayed about the dancing room, which gave a chance to hit off another compliment upon Fatty's beauty, as being the cause of drawing the smoke. Every body laughed at the novelty of the idea. But there was no time for to chat. As soon as we had taken a swig of the hot stuff all round, we sat the fiddler down by the jamb, took the floor, and went to work might and main, the fiddler keeping time with tne oeuowses. Not to be prolix, we kept it up, frolickm' and dnnkin' hot stuff till midnight; and while it lasted, the fun wa? really genuine. But as I cast a sheep's eye now and then, I took a notion that Patty and Siah Goldin were rather thick together, considerin1. Thinks I, she wants to make me jealous, to spur me on; so seeing them in clo.-e confab, as I was cantering down outside, I poked my head between them and cried boo! But the cat was soon let out of the bag. We paid the reckoning four and six pence a piece. Think of that! Every body grumbled; but Peet Shaw didn't care. Then followed the crowding of sleighs, taking in the ladies at the door. Such a hubbub end confusion ! But when my

Bean was missing! and so was Si Golding! Here is the end of my story. Whoever wants to know the particulars that happened in the ride home, must ask Dolly Fisher. The Deacon will tell you what oi t of a pickle Sukey come home io, and how much I paid" "for the whistle." Finally, whoever went to our meetin' house next Sunday morning, knows very well how Patly Bean and Josiah Gcldin squared accounts. FATHER FORGIVE THEM. Go, proud intide! search the ponderous tombs of heathen learning explore the w orks of Confu ciusexamine the precepts of Seneca, and the writings of Socrates collect the excHb ncies of the ancient and mo dern moralists, and point to a -sentence A equal to this simple prayer of our Sa- . -i i i : ji.-.i ..iV,: viour, rvneu anu iuouiicu Miuc-iint the grossest indignities, crowned with thorns, and led away to die: no annihilating curse break from his tortured breast. Sweet and placid as the springs of a mother for her i.ui sling, ascends the prayer for his enemies. "Father torgive them." O, it was w -rthy of its origin, and stamps with the brightest seal of truth that his mission was from heav en i Acquaintances have you 'quarrelled?' Friends, have you differed? If he who was pure and perfect forgave his bitterest enemies, do you do well to cherish j our anger? Brothers, lo you the precept is imperative you shall forgive not seven times, but seventy times seven times. Husbands and wives, you have no right to expect perfection in each other. Toerristho lot of humanity. Idleness will sometimes render you petulent,and disappointment rufiles the smoothest temper. Guard, 1 beseech you, with j . a ' unremitting vigiience your passions controlled, they are the genial heat that warms us along the way of life ungoverned, they are consuming tires. Let your strife he one of respectful attentions and conciliatory conduct. Cultivate with care the kind and gentle affections of the heart. Plant not, but eradicate the thorns that grow in your path above all, let no feeling of revenge ever find harbour in your breast. Lei the sun never go down upon your anger. A kind word an obliging action, if it be in a trifling concern, has a power superior to the harp of David, in calming ihe billows of the soul. Revenue is as incompatible with happiness hs it is ho.-tile lo religion. Lft him whose heart is blat k with malice, and studious of revenge, walk through the fields, while clad with verdure and adorned with flowers -to his eye there is no beauty the flowers to him exhale no fragrance. Dark as his soul, nature is robed in the deepest sable. The mile of beauty light3 not his bosom with j3' but the furies' of hell rape in hi: breast, and render him n3 miserable as he it could wish the object of his hate. Bat let him lay his hand upon his heart and say "Revenge, I cast thee from me Fhlher forgive me as 1 forgive mine enemies," and nature has a new and mon delightful garniture. Then indeed are the meads verdant and the luuwua ,,JbllU'1 n e t then is the music of uwwixr. We copy from a N. York paper, an iiy, who thought that consultations were very serious and grave affairs, placed himself under the bed in the rem where the consultation was to beheld. The doctors marched in verv solemnly and Uhe door beine shut. 'Well ' savs Dr. A. 4Dr. B. what do you think of my new horse cost only 300?' 'Why says Dr. B. 'he's a fine auimnl I'll give you $350 for him.' 'No,' says A. '1 wouidVu take 500;' and so the conversation was kept up for some time. At last, Dr. A. says: 'I think thi poor fellow Ml die.' 'Yes,' sajs B. 'he's a gone chicken! Good morning; you'll be at the club to-night:' ft so happened that cur listener was executor to the patient who sure enough did die; and the con sulting bill feeing presented, which was only 100 a piece, made bold to related the circumstances as we have detailed them, and with a threat to publish the fact?, if payment was persisted in. It is needless lo add, he never heard any more of the bill! We have heard a story told of a phy-j sician, residing not a 100 miles distant, which we tnink mav cass for a conn terpart to tne toregoing. It runs thus: j i Ueing ca lied Upon in a Very difficult case, ne examined tne patient with great attention, to ascertain the cause and effeet of the complaint. When he had satisfied himself of the nature of the disease, he sits down, and covering his face with his hands, seemed to be earnestly engaged ruminating upon the various remedies he bad seen in his reading, applicable to the case under consideration. After remaining in this posture 6ome time, he drew a newspaper from his poc-
