He debated with himself for some

days what to resolve upon. Though

Ilis fither advised him by all moans to

take it; and so likewise did I- armor

Whipplelrec, and the rest of his ae-

piamtance. I lie neighbors washed,

abee all thinus, to see "Gentleman

Sam" brought to labor again.

" ll 1 could onlv git the ingrcdiences

into the pores of my hand without chopping for it," said Sam, " I shouldn't

care, nut, nowsomever, work or no

work, I must take it, for I'm persuaded it's the only thing that'll cure me."

lie accordingly prepared him an axe

strictly in the manner prescribed, not omitting to set it in a warm place ivven-

tv-lour hours before using. His fither

took care that the instrument should he well ground, and that there should

be no lack of matciials to work upon,

ass'mtied hun an acre ot the primitive

forest, thickly covered with oaks, beech

es, and maples, to be cut down and

wrought into lire-wood.

" What!" exclaimed S an. - ii' the (ices begin to talk, :t- time te look ahoutme. ' ( With licit he am . d back ami fell (o chopping again. He continued until his hards were neaily worn cu'. and ; w vtregi! s. hast"d !: i - aid d;md it no longer, when he again sholdered hi axo. and, without iehiv iarther moletcd by t he voice from the tree dragged himself home. He slept soundly that night, not being troubled in th least with dispeptic drear...

I le would fain, however, have declined going to the wood; but the deep voice was still ringing in hi- ch's, and the devil seemed, in his heated imagination, ready to catch him. Ho once more, therefore, took his medicated axe and repaired to the forest. He continued longer lhan (he day before, but so sore were his hands, that every stroke he struck gave him severe pain; raid he Wiis once or twice on the point of giving the matter up, when the same deen

voice from the hollow tree again warned him of the danger of such a course.

In short, Sam I'rookshnnk repaired to

the wood dailv workinn- loi rr and

larder each dav than the dav "before;

sleeping soundly at nigh!, .and eating

us meals with a constantly increasing ippetite. His hands by degrees became lardcned to the work, and his w hole

Iramc so strengthened that he could labor from morning til! night without feeling half as much fatigue as he endured the first day from a single hour's

work.

"But what a plague i the reason,"

said he, applying his nose to the axe-

helvc, " I can t smell the ramphirc and

the inurrer oozing through, as the news

paper said? I'm sure I've bet the axe-

helve, neaily red hot every day for a

month, and yet I can't perceive the ingrcdiences come through at all. The

'potheeary must a cheated me in the !

articles.

Full of this idea, he went to scold the apothecary for putting him otf w ith bad medicines; when the hitler threw his pestle, at his head and called him a fool for his pains. But though Sam couldn't perceive by any outward signs that the medicine had come through the axe helve, yet, inasmuch as he daily grew hotter by handling the instrument, he finally concluded that the virtue of the remedy had insensibly entered the pores of his hand, and w ithout his knowing it, diffused itself over his w hole system. lie did not, however, relax his endeavors, nor lay aside the meditated axe, until his acre of woodbind was com

pletely chopped, and his dyspepsia most

thoroughly tilted. Me was a bo cured

"But, my dear, vou have already said so one hundred times, and weie you to say so one hundred times more Rose would not beiome less uglv for voitr c-:n nig so." Rosanna was a little girl of about fourteen. She was (heir only child, and lo do her mother jusliee, wa really very ugly nay, almost i evoking: with her little gray eyes, ihd nosfC large mouth, thick protruding lips, red hair, and above all a form remaika'dy awry.

" (u to bed, Iuv-anna." Trembling, the little trirl npproached her mother lo give her the kiss of good night. " "Tis. ureies?. uu little mom-tor," said her mother. A tear rolled from the litlie ona's t-ve. Slie hastily wiped it away, and turning to b.tv father, presented the yet humid check. He kissed her ter.ucilv. " I am not altogether miseiabie," she murmuied, leaving the room. Retired to her chamber, she commenced embroidering a scarf, and worked I bus part of the night, for she desired lo be able to present il to her mother when she aiosc in the morning. The clock struck twelve. She had just finished, and putting it by, (he little girl calmly resigned herself to rest. Her repose was undisturbed. On tiie morrow Rose presented th.e scarf (o her mother. What was the pain the little one experienced when helmet her received it t eldlv, and express

ed none of those lender sentiments; which were to have been the sweet litl lo one." rew ind. Her ev es, by chance, glanced over a

neighboring mirror. " Yes," she said, internally, " I ain ugly they are right;" and ?ho sought in her young head to find a remedy for ugliness. And then in the world new pangs wounded the iitlle ugly one's heart. A first impression alienated all the yeung girls of her own age but she was so good, so amiable, so amusing, that they approached, then listened, and then loved her. Now, indeed, our little one was happy. One day Mr. Moore went home in a violent passion, and became in consequence of some trilling provocation, highly incensed against his wife. Their domestic felicity was troubled for eight long days. For eight long days Mrs.

.Moore was continually crv mg. Rosanna in vain racked her )onng brains lo dis

cover win but her lather still continued angry, and her mother was still con

tinually weeping. At hist she reflected in her nriiid how to reconcile them. They were all three scaled in the parlour Mr. P.loore was arranging the tire when this was concluded. he threw

the tongs from him, soak'nod a hook

from the mantel, and opened i! abrupt ly; but after ;i moment's pel usal he clos

ed it again, in a violent humour, cast a

fiery glance al his trembling wife, and

hurriedly arose from hi chair.

Rosanna, deeply moved, clasped her arms about his neck, as he was about to rise, and aHeetioiiiitely caressed him. lie could not reject her innocent coaxing, and the litlie girl thinking she had succeeded in touching his heart, took in hei hands the nvbUncd handker

chief wherewith her mother had been drying her weeping eyes, and dried them a second time therewith; she then ten doily embiaced her mother, who returned her alfectionatc caress with al! ii mother's fondness. Tiie parhes being now favourabh disposed, nought remained but to estalisii tiie peace. This was no easy matter neither would make the first overlure and without the penetration cf little Rose, the reconciliation would n-! have taken (dace. Slie took her father's hand between her tr.--.-; lit tic hands, and pressed it to her bosom; she then took her mother's hand and joined it to her father's as it. lay near her heart. Human pride could resist no longer the alienated parents rose at the same moment and cordially embraced each other. From that hour Rose was the idol of them both. Six years after this, Rosanna the ugly Rosanna was the ornament ol ev ery society to w hich her mother presented her, Amiable, witty and observing, her conversation was universallycourted. One summer evening, the sun, which during the clay had shed over nature an intense heat, had just disappeared, leaving the hoiizon covered with long wide bands ol red clouds more and more dark were heaping themselves on the eastern sky the atmosphere was suffocating, and one would deem the earth was returning lo the sun (he heal she had been receiviug from it during tinday. All was heavy and weary theair inhaled seemed rather to sutfocate than nouiish. A drowsy langour over came eveiy one. In a saloon, whose every window vv asthrown open, might be seen, gliding here and there in the darkened light, groups of young females whose white dresses, slightly agitated by the rising breeze of the evening, oilered something mysterious and poetical whereon the imagination loved to dwell. A low languishing whisper was then heard, hke the soothing murmur cf some dis t.anf rivulet. A young woman, seated belore a piano, was expressing her heart's sentiments by an extemporary melody, now smoolh and tender, now deep and trembling. No more whispering, but a general silence look place, for hers was a celestial symphony, a seraph's song. Lord Underwood, a line blue-eyed young nobleman, was so deeply touched by the melody, that his frame seemed agitated by a momentary convulsion. He listened to the angel's voice, so softly harmonizing with the sweet tones of the instrument, and felt an indescribable sensation (brill through his frame. The music ceased, but the sweet voice vibrated on Underwood's car, and (here was a charm in the w itty ar.d ori

ginal trille to which he listened, that transfixed him where he stood.

" How beautiful must that young girl be,"' thought Underwood. "Happy the

man on whom may fall her choice," and he involuntarily sighed.

Suddenly lights are brought in. I he

hold Underwood was stupihed he

closed his eyes, but the charm of that

voice haunted his memory. He gazed

on her a second time, and he found her

less ugly. The beauties of her mind seemed transferred to her person, and her gray eves, small as they were, expressed, wonderfully well, her internal sensations. Lord Underwood wedded Rosanna, and became the happiest of men in the possession of the kindest and most loving of women. Bevutv deserts us, but viuti-h and Tv lknts, the faithful companions of our lives, accompe'n' us even to the grave. A'ttVfjuiprrs. Few persons are await, of the amount of intellectual food furnished by a weekly newspaper, in a single year, and how cheaply, when compared with that furnished by books. For example, a paper of the size, of this sheet, ami printed with similar tv pe, contains as much matter in iifiy-two numbers, as tvvkntv octavo volumes, printed in the fashionable si vie. with large tvpe, and with margins like the "Sketch Book." A newspaper costs (wo or three dollars per viar, while

twenty such volumes, conlaining no more matter, will cost from thirty to forty dollar. Ciu. jMimtr. One (hat is perfectly idle is perfectly weary too, n ml knows not what lie vv oul-l have or do.
