AX Al'IUL FOOL. Harry Hapless whs the only child cf his father, who died when his son whs but eighteen years old, hy which II u ry found himself sole proprietor of one ol the best farms in New England. II-: had, moreover, as his friends sa:d,"g" d lirning;' that i. he could read the hardest chanter in the 01 1 TV slainent

without slopping to spell one word, and could cypher at least as far as the rule of three. For the first year, nil went on swimmingly, lie. tilled his his own field? with hi own hands, and they rendered l.im golden return. It was remarked by all, that he was a forehanded youth, and that he would oon grow rich, and might come to he a justice of the peace for the county, or even a representative to the state assembly. Such a hoy was not to he sneezed at. All the girls in the neigh borhood set their c aps at him. However, lie gave need to none ol them, tor nc was privately engaged to Lucy Hapless, lis uncle bams daughter, with his un tie's consent. "Harrv," said his uncle, "the gal"; too yountj yet, an I so are vou. W ait, wait a year or two, nephv.v Harry was obliged to conform, for his uncle Sam s decisions were like tin 1 iws of the Modes and Persians. H therefore contented himself with "setting up'' with Lucy on all possible occasions, and I never heard that either of them regretted their intimacy afierwards. To one of his neighbors, who attempted to jeer him on the subject, Harry returned a very ungracious answer. This person had a?kod, "What in nater do you and that gal do up so late together Harry?'' "Vc had the newspapers, you great lummocking fool you! what should we do?'' replied Harry. He never after spoke to (his young man when lie could avoid it. Lucy was worthy of his love. Not to speak of a forehead of marble, eves like diamonds, checks like piony ro-es, and other common charms, the w;is the best spinner and dairy woman ia the country. Her disposition was mild and affectionate, her humor was sprightly, and she returned Harrys affection with tenfold ardor. We must not omit to mention that her father allowed her half the price of the butter she made, and cf the yarn she spun; and as she was economical, she had saved a pretty sum from these perquisites enoug i, indeed, to buy her either a cow, or a feather bed at her mairiagc. Alas! a scarlet four spread in the neighborhood which w as bro't from Boston by a volunteer company, who had coma to encamp and loam something of the fatigues of war. I mean that they pitched their lent? close to a tavern, whore they cat their meal and I slept when it rained. In the day time they went through their evolutions to the wonder and admiration of the "natives," especially the females. Nay, the captain, who, in Boston, wit-hied a puissant pair of shears, always saluted Lucy Hapless with his sword as he passed, and once danced with her at a hop. As he had entirely sunk the tailor, and was really a good looking young fellow, his attention gave great pleasure to Lucy, though they were gall and wormwood to her lover. He resolved in his own mind to he up to the valiant Capt. Cabbage. With (his view lie lent a willing ear to a proposals of the young men, to get up a company which should eclipse, or at least rival the lip-top company from Boston. He argued, that bring obliged at any rale, to attend militia training, it was as well to do the thing in style. So he forwarded the work with all his energy, and collected twenty-five round shouldered, awkward yeomen, who elected him captain of the newly raised Gallywcst Guards, by acclamation. Behold him, therefore, with a laced coat on his back, a chapeau-de-hras on his head, with a plume in it as tall as a poplar, and a falchion by his side that might have served a Patagoliian haymaker for a scythe. As it was beneath the dignity ol Capt. Hapless, to lead his followers on foot, he was obliged to take his be,t horse from the plough, and accoutre him with a dragoon saddle, holsters, and pistols. These tilings gave his purse the dry bellyache, and that was not the worst of it. Several of the neighboring youth were desirous of enrolling themselves under his banners; mid, as they had not the ready rhino to purchase the equipment, whirh was really splendid, they applied to Harry for the requisite loan:' and, as his heart was now in the cause, he was fool enough lofuruiKii it. Then what a diilling there was! What a marching and counter-marching, burning of bl ink cartiidgesand drinking of flip and black-strap! Uncle Sam f-uv thesi: thing with rcgrc-.t, and

remonstrated with Harry, but in vain;! Lucy was pleased with it, and her smiles had more influence on Captain Hapless than her father's frowns. So the soldiers went on improving in numberand discipline. At ttie close of each drill it was found that '"shoulder aild ground hoop" was dry work, and the commander of the Gallevwest Guards could do no !c-s til m treat his men to as much as thev could drink. Thus

our inf.ituated yeoman proceeded wast ing his lime, lending his money to some. ind running in debt lor oihers. At last the Boston company came forili o:i a second '"tour of duty' and as the accomplished Captain Caesar Cabbage w;:s reckoned second only to Baron Steuben in the mvstcries of tac-1 tics. Captain Hapless did not consider himself disparaged in requesting his lssi-lance in the study cf street firings. In a few dais they became intimate friends, and it was voted hy the Galleywest Guards, to give their brethren in arms fro: Boston a public dinner. At lst the day arrived on which the visiters were to dep ict. In the. morning Cap. Cabbage waited upon our hero with a face, as loiig as despair cculd make it. By degrees he unbuttoned his bosom, J mean, he made a confession cf the rrief which was likely to break his needle nn II ni.dcr Ins goose from hissing. He v as indebted more than he could pay, and, unless he could rai-e a thousand d d! us w ithin a week, he would be obliged to shut up shop. "B;:t can't, you borrow the. shiners?" demanded Harry. Captain Cabbage talked about the honor of a soldier, and his reluctance to ask any favor. He did not like to borrow, he said, though he was sure he should be aide to refund it in less than a week. lie swore daggers and broadswords, that, if some friend would only endorse his note, he would not he obliged to borrow at all, and concluded by desiring Captain Hapless to do him that favor. Harry complied, and, in less than a week, was informed that Captain Cabbage had ab-ronded, leaving him to pay the piper. A writ was immediately served on our hero, and he knew not where to turn. As soon as it was known that Marry was in trouble, he was called on to pa) lor the uniforms of his men, and for I he public dinner, as well as for many other tilings had and procured for the Galleywest Guards. In this extremity he applied to his uncle Sam for the loan of twelve hundred dollars. The old man took a mortgage of his farm, to he foreclosed in three years, if not sooner redeemed, and counted dow n the ready money. He then gave Harry a word of good advice, according to the custom of old men in such cases, concluding as follows: "You've outrun the constable, vou gieat lummux, and you'll die in Ihe poor house, you will. 1 tut J j ou what your sc.gcring wouitl come to and I always hated our trade of blood. So von may hang up your fiddle, and never come Here again a courtm, tor it s all over with you and Lucy, I can tell you. Iou shan t have her till you're as ond a man as you were before you put on your top-knots and folderol?."' Uo( le Sam s. bnik was always worse than his bite, and, in this case, he did not mean so much as he said; bul from that hour, all was over with poor Har ry. If is uncle s speecli ruined him. Ho had lost all motive for ambition, and took no measures to retrieve his (alien fortunes. His cattle were now seldom foddered and to revenue the neglect, they broke into his fields and trod down and destroy ed his crops. His fences were not repaired, his wood not cut, and, in short, he was an undone man. He no longer basked in the smiles of his cousin, and, to cap the climax, he took to drinking. Deeply did his uncle regret his illtimed severity, for he had loved Hamlike a father, and it had been the first wish of his heart to see him united to his daughter; hut, at present, such an act wouid have been to unite her to destruction. In March he paid him a visit, and found him in bed, not verysober, lie then made a tour in the premises, and found nothing io order. There was no sign of preparation for the labors, ol the coming season. He went home in despair, and told Lucy it was a gone case. It was a bad case, to be sure; but her affectionate heart suggested means to make it belter. As Harry was lea ving his own door, on the morning of the first -of April, to go to the dram shop, he met a little, old pedlar, bend ing under the weight of his pack. The man had a high seal skin cap on his head, and was attired in the costume of years gone by. Withal, his hair was as white as snow, and so was his beard, which leached to his waistband. Vet his teeth were very fine, and the bloom of his cheeks did not accord with his beard and hair. Harry asked

him what he had to sell, and as the old man replied, "Every thing,'" the voice thrilled to his heart. He asked the ancient into his house, assisted him to set down his pack, and made some small

purchases. He thought he had seen him before, and felt a strong interest in the features before him. "I think I've seen you afore, daddy," said he. 'It's very like you may," answered the pedlar. 'You seem too old to carry a pack,"1 rejoined Harry. "Hain't you no other way to git your living?"' "Yes; in the winter I tell fortius, and I'll tell youi 'it. if you like." "No, no, daddy, you cant catch old birds w i?h chaff' "But I'll tell your'n without chargin' you any thing." Harry suffered himself to be persuaded. The old man took his hand, gazed attentively on it,and then said, "You're the verv man I drcampt on. There's great deal of money buried on your farm; 1 can't jist tell where, but it's not very deep, iou can reacn it wiui your ptougn." A few more words and the old man departed. That night Harry dreamed of a hidden treasure, and the next morning, lie voked his oxen, determined to find it. He ploughed all day, and the next, and the next, till he had broken up all his arable land, and still he dreamed of pots of silver and gold, for he remembered to have heard ttatthe pirate Kidd had hidden his booty thereabout. He then tho't he had not ploughed deep enough, and went over the ground again. Just as he gave up the bargain for a bad one, his uncle stood by him and said, "Your farm's well ploughed, liurrv, and 1 11 come to morrow and help you put in your grain. The spell was broken, but Harry profiled by his uncle s aid, and raised a very extraordinary crop. Industry, too, had suspended his visits to the grog shop. hen his fields were ripe for the sickle, his uncle again stood beside him, with the mortgage of his estate in Ills i and m a man of my word. Harry." said he, "and as you're as good a man as ever y ou were, you may marry Lucy tomorrow, if vou like. Willi the woids, he tore the mortgage into fiftypieces, which were quickly blown away by the wind. As Harry was rocking a cradle on the first of April next ensuing, he said to Lucy "It s very strange, dear, that I was nt made a fool of this day last year." "lcs you were, and it was I that made a fool of you. Don't you remem her the old pedlar that lold y our forlin? Jy butter paid for h is pack."1 In the course of time, Harry did indeed plough upa treasure from his farm. Compassion. A nek man observed to his wife, 'my dear I am not well to day. Will you be kind enough to pre pare me a little dinner?' 'And what will vou have, Mr. P?' 'Apple dum p!ins.' Thev were accordingly made and Mr. P. sat down solus to a dish of eighteen! After having despatched seventeen and a half, and shewed strong indications of finishing the remaining morsel, a little urchin, a son of his, cried out, 'U dad gim me dat. He very pa tactically replied, 'go away my son poor oaa is sick.' Virginia Eloquence.
