THE BUOSET.

BT 8 WOODSWOHTH. How dear to this heart are the scenes of my childhood! When fond recollection presents them to news The orchard, the meadow, the deep tang'ed -wild wood, And every loved spot which my infancy knew; The wide spreading pond, and the mill which stood by it, The bridge, and the rock where the cataract fell; The cot of my father, the dairy hous nigh it, And e'en the old bucket that hung in the well The old oaken bucket, the iron bound bucket, That moss covered bucket that hung in the well. That moss-coftered vessel I hail as a treasure. For often at noon, when returned from the the field, I found it the source of an exquisite pleasure, j The purest and sweetest that nature can j yield; . J How ardent I seized it with hands that were glowingf And quick to the white pebbled bottom it feel. Then soon with the emblem of truth overflow, ing, And dripping with coolness, it rose from the well The old oaken bucket, the iron bound bucket. The moss-covered bucket arose from the well. How sweet from the green mossy brim to re. ceive it, ' As poised on the curb it inclined to my lips! Not a full b'ushing goblet could tempt me to leave it, Though fili'd with the nectar that Jupiter sips.. And now far removed from the loved situation, The ter of regret will instinctively swell,

As tancy reverts to my father's plantation, And sighs tor the bucket which hangs in the WeP. The old oak n bucket, the iron bound bur.ket, The moss covered bucket that hangs id the well.

Dick's new bridle lor l naa neara tne minister, whom every body thinks, knows something, except about short sermons, say that a great deal depended upon a man's first appearance. At last came the eventful Sunday, and queerish kind of a sort of feeling was all over me, that took away my apetite, so that I could no more eat than if the thoughts and dreams which f had concerning Letty, for the last week, had been corn dodgers and buttermilk. And then what did farther aggravate me a?, because it appeared that the people seemed to knov by ihe cunning leer of their eyes, what I was

aiming arter. And mother too looked

so tarnation cute and knowing when I asked Steve for his silk stor kings, which

I lied on with tape garters, and got L'Z

to tie my cravat in a double bow knut, and took such particular pains to leave the lower button, of my new w hite vest unbotioned, as I had seen done by the town gentlemen. But yet I had not breathed my purpose to a single living soul, not even talked above my breath, but kept all as dark, as in our smokey house whn the door is shut. Yet still determined to go, I was, let come to pas3 what might for 1 chuckled when thought how the neighbor boys and gals would gae and stare, when they heard, 1 had been courting, and with what surprise dad and mam would b j taken, when folks told them as how I had been warming a corner wUh Peter Jone's daughter ;for the good old parent of each, had often said, when looking at each others farms from the dividing fence, what a comely looking couple Gale and Letty would make, standing up before parson M my stars no more

of that. . Weil, no sooner was our clubbed dinner and supper over, for you must know the parson gives us the conclusion of his discourse for regular dinner, on Sun day, and by so doing jumbles dinner into supper and supper into dinner th n off 1 started no thought to see Letty,v oh no, by golly it was early yet, and I knew from hat I had lamed Irom others, that night was the time, but to stroll in our sugar camp and study atti tudesand fine elegant speeches before I made, this the greatest kind of a break, yet first I slipped out to the barn, and put on the previously mentioned shoes, which made my legs already cased in tight pantaloons, look liks crooked cornstalks stuck in long necked squashes, and with my broad flapped coat on, I wandered among ihe trees, making all the sweet sayii g?, and assuming nil the interesting attitudes which I had seen playermen do, as I could, and in fact, so bewildered did 1 become, that in trying to practise one of my most loving & amorous actions, as I had seen kk01d My-dearee," as they all call him, do, with his wife, before a whole parcel of us youngsters once at a concert, when sitting with her on his lap in an armed chair, 1 had the great misfortune to throw my affectionate arms around an ugly hone locust, whose sharp thorns soon pricked me to a sense of my mis take, and while rubbing the itching

From the Western Telegraph' LETTY AND ME. Peter Jones whose farm joins father's, has a daughter who is, by a long shot, the handsomest gal in the whole neighborhood Now there is Tim Wilson living just up the lane, on the opposite side of Jones' and his gals, sure as Sunday night comes, have sparks, and oh, how they did use to triumph over Letty, because no body came to spark her: But Letty knew what she knew, and it was'nt every bod) , she would sit the fire out with. So early one morning as I was riding Rock along the lane to the field, whistling an old continental tunc Grand-

daddy had larned me, who should I

see,

she was with her cheeks so red, that 1

rubbed my eyewinkers several times to

ber, which Letty and all the rest of

gals, wear as stomach strayers, after

see whether it was'nt reflection from awhile. By soc not so slow either,

them beautiful streaks m the sky just j is it. where the sun was rising- and with Night by degrees come on, and with her sparkling eyes, bright as the star 1 1 its increasing gloom, to the house which

watched so, last Sunday night, whiht j 1 intended should serve as the christen-

coming home from singing school, until stubbing my toe against a stump, over I tumbled, with all my Sunday clothes, and brother Bill's white cotton socks on, right into a deep mud hole. Letty did'nt s;iv any thing, only good morning neither did I but if I did'nt ogle her through the slit cit in the rim o! my Quaker fashioned hat --no gal ever looked at the young men in Church, through her finger when she leaned her face on her hand as if asleep I guess as how 1 tho't a thing or more. On I jogged but could'nt for the life of me get my thoughts of Letty out of my mind;. there she still was looking as shamed and as sweet as a coloured sugar ptump in a glass jar, in the window ol a grocery store, Oh, it made my mouth water, like a dog for dumplings, or a Doctor for a rich patient! And just as I put up the last bar after tur ning Rock into the pasture, by moth

ers big blue stockings with white toes,

says I, if 1 don't go and see if Lettv

won't keep a bit of company with me,

ru-xi bunday evening, 1 11 eat no more gooseb. rry pies. And so full of the idea of sparking Letty, was my head, that by the soul of Error, not a hands turn o! an thing could I do right, for the rem iir.der of the week. Saturday afternoon, having quit trying to work long before- sun set, up I hunts dad's old sharp toed calf skin shoes, with large bras buckles to them, in which he had courted Mother in the Old Set llemcntg, ai.d hiding them in the bosom of my li'isey wo Iey waumice, away I lued to the loft of the barn, and there laboured away for a long time with ashes, chalk and a niece of father old

ing place of my first courting scrape,

1 advanced. Arrived at the bars that open to the door yard, always ke t so nice and so clean by Letty, something appeared to pull me back, and my heart thumped wor&e than a four horse team, cn a pole bridge, and often as I advanced one of my sharp toed shoes, so often did it get back without my knowing it, along side of the other. But at length, afier wiping my face with my fag handkerthief,and combing my hair, sleek as Elder B 's on Session days, and summoning all my courage, says I, a gal's but a gal, and who fears a petticoat. Smoke, was'nt that courageous? with a step as brae and as big as any Captain, when he struts, for all nature, like a turkey gobler, before the company on big muster days, right front up to the door with quick time, I boldly marches, for I felt somewhat jubious, that my res- lution was not so long winded as it might be, and my bony hand fell, thump, thump, like the hammer of a forge upon the door, shaking every pane of glass in the house. At the old woman's bidding, in 1 stumped, making as much noise as a rough hod horse on our new stable floor, and walked wilh my go to meeting hat, under my left arm, n-ht up to the fire place. There was the old man, nodding his head, like a battering ram. I shook hands with the old lady, and crossed over as gracefully as a basket of chips, to shake hands with Letty ; for I had often heard people gay, that it was a sure sign of love, to squeeze a girls hand, and so I thought it would be a pretty clever chance, for me lo give a sort of a hint to Letty j I lookM as affectionately

as a slice of gingerbread, but as ill luckwould have it, the long toes of one of my dad's shoes, caught upon the edge of a puncheon, and away I went, with both arms stretched out to save myself, like a flying lizzard, the fust thing my hands caught on was Letty 's new bombazette frock, the strings of which gave way, and jam 1 went right against her, she against the old man, and he against a table, upon which sat a pitcher of cider, and here we went all together, one after the other, down on the floor, like little sam's play blocks, the pitcher smashing to atoms, and pouring its contents over the old man, who rose shaking himself, like a drenched dog. Getting up as well as I could, and offering to assist Letty to rie, my unmanageable shoes clipped in the stream of cider, and once more down I came, with my whole weight, as fl-tt as a flounder, upon the girl, as cousin Tom would say "like the wreck of matter and crush of worlds," and my ill-fated "sharp toes,' kicking theoldladys chair from under her, she bounded upon me in turn like an Orlean boat. At length, however, we were all safely seated. Mr. Jones growling and grumbling like a email thunder cloud, in which 1 could hear the words cider and pitcher now and then.

A preacher in the western country, applied to General Jackson for an office of 6ome character. At the time he applied, the General did not know the applicant was a preacher, and he very politely observed to him that he would think of his claims and weigh them. The preacher saw the General a few days after and renewed his application. The General, (who in the mean time got information that he mas a preacher of the gospel,) asked him if he was not a preacher ol the gospel ; he answered he was well, sas the General, if you discharge the duties of that crlice, which is better than any I can confer, you will have no time to discharge the duties of any that lean give; you will therefore excuse me for advising you to return home, and attend to that without being burdened with any other, that you may be enabled to account hereafter for your stewardship in this world.

Reforming a Scold. In the early period of ihe history if Methodism, ome of Mr. Wesley's oppouenls, in the excess of their z'al against enthusiasm, took up a whole wagon load of methodists,aud carried them before a Justice. When they were asked what these per-

some of Steve's red ink made of pokebpries, the night she was sparked by Hank Meeker, and felt as hot as when I nsad to repeat the catechism to the minister all alone before a whole bundle of people, on the last day of the quarter. Reader, did your ears ever burn like, as if they were frying on live coals or did you ever sweat, iike as if you had walked into the vault of neighbor P's red hot lime kiln, I'll be darn;d, if I dont guess as how, 1 tiad then a -mall sprinkling of both. Old Ned! it was the greatest scrape ever I was in. However, after an awkward apology, by me, tranquility was at length restored; and I talked with the old man and old woman about currant wine, poultry, turnips, and corn; told all I knew about the market-, done every thing to make them think I was a cute chap, "gave the old cow plenty of bran to get the calf," &, every once a while casting a sheepish eye over my left should'r at Letty who sat twirl'n the ends of her apron, and when her pretty dove eye met my gaze, turning away, she looked into the lire, aa demure as if she had no idea of my having

come for auy thing thing else than to hold discourse with the old folks, and as steady as if she read in the forestit k who was to be her beau next valentine day. By and by, away moved the old people e lf to bed, and I was left alone with Letty. Now was the lime. Now the crisis to strike the blow or in oilier words, pop the stilf question. Gaul darn it, what a predicament 1 was in, the tumbling down disaster had so dis-

comfitted and confused me that, girg-?, of all the floe speeches I had slowed away, not a single one could I catch by the lug, lo bring it to bear. However, after several times getting up and standing before the fire with boih hands in my breeches pocket, and my tongue too, I guess by snax, setting down ag in,

and twisting and untwisting my clean washed handkerchief, while L -tty, all the time was mule as a mouse, looking as if she was on the lookout for a squall. I at length with my lace hall hid in my bosom and hands, made the break: Letty, 'spose a body should ask you to keep a bit of of company would you have any serious objections? No Sir, was the reply. Here, then, at once, was a load thrown by this, and this one simple, jYo, otf my mind, like a load of gravel, when Tom, tilts up the cart. L itty do you recollect the morning 1 saw you milking old white, in the lane? yes well, indeed I hau't been able to do any thing or sleep without thinking or dreaming of you ycu looked so lovingly, you looked as pretty as a painted picture. Lett), ar'ut you fond of the boys. Only when mother says I may be; and never more than 1 ought to be. Now, here it was, wasn't this a victory? this was all I could a8k. By this time 1 was safely by her side; my arm, after some struggles, made mure for modesty's sake, and because gals naturally do at first, than from good will, was around her waist, and my lips but dont think I'll tell you all, for she made me promise I wouldn't ; and I guess I knows what's what. Spoons! it I and Letty didn't spark,keep company, and fcvl talk at her" in the right kind of a way, boys and gals dont know what courting is; for the caudle had gone out, and the backlog itself burned to ashes, and the chickens were crowing for day, when I took leave of my sweetheart wilh a promise soon to come back, and with a good hearty buss that sounded upon the door step, by crout, for all the world, as loud as the crack of cousin Tom's waggon whip, it was a whopper and was as sweet as the custards, mother makes, for Sunday, and hcllidays. Cats! qC

silence; at last one of the accusers

said, "Why they pretended to be better than other people; and besides they prayed from morning to night." The magistrate asked if they had done any thing else? 4kYes sir," said an old man, 4an't please your worship; they converted my wife. Till she went among them, she had such a tongue! and now she is as quiet as a lamb." "Carry them back, carry them back," said ihe magistrate, "and let them convert all the scolds in the town," JVezo York, May 10. The Match Race. On Saturdav, at the appointed hour, the match race for 5,000 between Arietta and Ariel, the Virginia and New-York mares, took place before a considerable assemblage of spectators on the Union Course, Long Island. The dav was uncom

monly fine, the course in prime order, and the sport short and sweet. Betting was much in favor of the Virginian, about 100 to 60 was the general run of the momii g. A little before one, the animals made their appearance. Arietta walked over the course with considerable demureness. She seemed as calm and unconcerned as her owner, yet at frequent intervals she would fling from her heels and her head a little of the Virginian hre. Ariel was very showy, restless and apparently out of humor. When her cashmere was removed she looked very pretty. An attempt was now made to give betting a fresh start but it would not go. At the tap of the drum, the start was made, Arietta on the outside and Ariel in the inside of the course. The former bad the decided advantage of the start, and kept it throughout the two rounds. The ri

der ot Arietta was pulling up his ani

mal the whole time, while Ariel was under full way. But it would not do. There was no catching the Virginian mare, who took very handsome len"

jumps along the course as if she felt herself to be on her own sod. Towards the last of the last round, Ariel made another pull, and crept up a little upon the Virginian. The case was too far gone however, and Arietta came out in about 3 m. 48 sc. and from five or six lengths a head with great ease and elegance. The backers of Ariel then unbuttoned their purses the South carried the day, and Mr. Johnson took the 5,000, twisted'up the bank bills with as much sang jroid as he would a chew of tobacco, and went to dinner. Courier.

A traveller who rode a horse of very large size, and especially of uncommon length, lately stopped at a public house in the western part of Massachusetts, and ordered bis steed to be put into the stable. Feeling anxious for the comfort of his four footed companion, he afterwards inquired of the ostler if he had put up his horse as he directed. 'Why yes,' said curry-comb, 'I've put up one eendofhim.' 'Oneeend ofhim,exclaimed the traveller, and what have you done with the other eend, as you call it ?' 'Why, hang me,' said the ostler, 'if I could get the whole of him into the stable, so I left the other eend out in the orchard.'
