AN OLD, OLD STOItY.

Tho following is as old as Luther, but Is nv fo this generation at leawt. In the town of Kennebunk it was the cus toin, many years ago, for each f.imilvto take turns in killing their hogs, so that by distribution, all could have fresh pork tho season round. One individual who had enjoyed his roast pork, and pork and lniuns, having hail many of the like favors showered thick lipon him, thought it 110 more than right that 110 should return tho eoinpliiuent to his neighbors. Mooting a neighbor,Mr. (Jill by name, ho told, him that he thought he should reciprocate but the great trouble was, his pork

little pig, and would not go half round tho village. Well/' slid (Jill, "I'll tell vou what to do you jest kill tlie pesky critter and hang him outsido your barn, so that tho pooplo will see it, and at 12 o'clock to-night you jest coine out and take him in, and swear somebody stole him—do you soe?" "Jess so!" says tho other and straightway slaughtered his pig, and hung him fn viow of all passers-by.

About midnight ho went to take his defunct squoeler in, when behold it was missing. Ho wont to bed, troubled in mind and body, but on rising next morning went to find Gill, and tho following conversation took place:

Mr, .1 "Gill, my friend, by the powers above, my nig, that I killed yesterday, was stolen last night J"

Mr. (i. You don't say so?—goodness me!" Mr. .r——. Yos I hung it out on the barn, and when I went to tako it in I lound it gone."

Mr. (J. That's the way! keep it up, keep it up! If 1 did not know you were lying, I'd swear you told the truth

Mr. "Hut I tell you, confound ye! I'm telling you the truth. My pig was stole

Mr. G. "That's it! How wonderful! You beat tho best actor lover seen. It's a big joke."

Mr. Hut, hang it, it's no joko to me Tho pig was stolen last night, and that's Gospel truth!"

Mr. G. "Well, if you tell all tho village with such an earnest manner, ovorv man, woman, and child will surely believe ve."

Mr. .1-—. Hut I tell you Well no matter." And Mr. left his friend (till with curses loud and deep. It transpired that Gill was tho cruel one who stole the pig away.

A MIST A KEN tlOOSE.

A Western paper tells tho following storv respecting a gallant widower who resides at llolly Springs, Mississippi, and who, it was said, had been easting sheep's eye of affection at a certain amiable "vidder" in the neighborhood, although others thought liis visits were covertly paid to the "vidder's darters." be thnt'ns it mav, one evening ho called ns usual, and found the family party hard at work upon some garments of cloth. The girls were sowing, and the widow was pressing tho seams. Tho widower hung up his hat, and. as usual, took his seat by the tire just at that moment it happened that the widow had done with the pressing iron (vulgo tailor's goose): she set it down on the hearth, and called to her negro man in a loud voice: "Jake! Jake! coittO and take out this goose!"

The widower started up in astonishment, not knowing what to think of this abrupt order. .lake, do you hear?" again exclaimed tho widow.

I leg your pardon. Mrs. he said, with visiole aifitat 1011, "but pray don't call Jnke. If you wish me to leave your house,I will go at one© without the interference of servants.?'

The ladies roared with laughter, and it took some moments to explaiii to the ehagrinned widower his mistake. He has not been known to visit the widow since that memorable night.

A NEW OMNIB US.a vl:

A Melbourne correspondent, in giving an account of a new sort of street conveyance, says:

The scheme has attracted considerable attention hero. The great principle involved is the carriage the load below the center of gravity. Tho new stvle of conveyance has boon recently patented by Mr. Dyer. Instead of the passengers* being inside the vehicle, as at present, they are all outside of it, There is no close box into which twelve human beings are stuffed to inhale each other's expirations and exhalations. There is no crushing up for a seat, or putting seven in a space intended for six, and not too large for five. All inconveniences are avoided by placing the passengers back to back, instead of face to face. The new omnibus has only one hind wheel, instead of two and this one wheel, placed in the center of the vehicle, does the work of the two now used. A light and elegant roof covers the two rows of seats, and reaches down in front far enough to shelter the passengers from rain or sun, but not far enough to obstruct their view of the opposite side of the street in which they are going. There are aprons also which draw up from the foot-board, as a protection in wet weather. The vehicle is therefore much lower than the present omnibus, being only about eight feet in hight. A passenger steps in and out at one effort from the street into his or her own separate place or division. The large wheel at the back is quite concealed, and revolves in a closed case or sheath some twelve inches in width. The seats being 011 two sides and the end, and being comfortably padded at the back and cushioned, the vehicle will somewhat resemble that piece of furniture known as an ottoman, with arms to it and a roof overhead. There will be an immense economy in construction, as there are no doors, 110 glazing 110 painting of sides, no internal paneling, and only three wheels, instead of four. Tho draft on the horses will be much lighter, as the friction will be diminished by onefourth at least. In addition to this it is known that a wheel of large diameter is much easier to draw than one of small, so that there is no doubt but that tho draft will be very largely lessened. The weight of the vehicle will not be more than two-thirds of the present one, and the cost also. The vehicle, nevertheless, is not adapted for bad weather.

A PEERESS IN TROUBLE. If it be true that there is at this preset moment an Irish Peeress in tho re®pt of out-door relief 111 Lambeth paris. we may comfort ourselves by the relation that worse things have happen than that. A11 Emperor was reduce tGsen iijs boots to buy food an exQneii of England had to beg her way fromloor to door, and finally died of starvi.ion. But these events happened long, 'ong ago and Emperors and Queent down in the world either know howto' ake care of themselves, or are cared f?r by their more fortunate "cousins' or "brothers." That peers and peeresses do occasionally come to grief, is clfcir from the romantic pages of Mr. Burke. In our days wo have soon a Duko of Buckingham and a Marquis of Bastings thoroughly cleaned out, and aristocratic bankrupts are by 110 means an unusual phenomenon. Some broken, down lords havo taken to an honest trade for a living, others have gone upon the parish, or(to put it more politely) have been supported out of a fund provided for decayed gentlemen of that class. Kings wisely mako hay iingfe1f',wfunt1sa or else, like Queen Christina, and her daughter Isabella fter her, bolt with the Crown jewels,

Candine were restored to life again, he might porchanco be able to .sit down to supper with half a dozen dethroned Sovereigns, but they would not now be 'penniless." Peers and peeresses are more helpless an unreasonable law compels them to pay .their debts or it takes their property. Surely we are near tho end of the world when the peerage does not protect men or women from the work-liouso. As Saneho Panza said "Poverty makes us acquainted "with strange bedfellows."—London Times.

WJTY INSECTS INCREASE. It is an old and very true remark that the various insects tliat afliict tho gardonor and fruit grower are, year by year, bocoming more numerous and destructive. The Boston Spectator thinks 0110 principal cause of this result is the continued tendency of modern improvements to concentrate vegetable gardens and fruit farms in certain peculiarly favorable localities, instead of scattering them evenly and uniformly over tho whole country. Henco every injurious insect that troubles tha gaVdenor and tho fruit grower, has an abundant supply of such vegetation as forms a suitable"nidus for its futuro offspring, close at hand, instead of having to I00K for it with much labor, over an extensive surface of country. Such insects aro thorefore enabled by this means to increase and multiply with greater ease and rapidity.

Upon precisely tho principle, if you scatter over tho surfaco of a whole country the amount of shelled corn that is just sufficient to feed a certain gang of hogs, and compel them to seek it out and pick it up every day of tho year, they will not thrivo so well nor multiply "so fast as ifyoufedout the very same amount of corn to them in a ten'acre lot, day after day, for a whole vear.

LIFK'S MAIN OBJECT.—So certainly is religion the great end of life that it may bo truly affirmed of all who die without it, that however long they havo lived, or whatever in other respects they have attended to, they havo lived in vain. However they mav have spent their time, jt is as to its higher purpose all lost. Whatever they may have been engaged in, they have done nothing but havo leen ingeniously negligent. They may havo gained much much knowledge,wealth, reputation, comfort, pleasure but they havo been losing all the while, infinitely more than they have gained,.for they have lost their souls. They havo been busily employed in building up theirearthly fortunes, but they have been 110 loss busv in milling down their immortal interests. Thev have gained a name, and a place in the temple of fame, but they nave lost infinitely more reputation with God than they have gained with men. They may have lived for the temporal good of all nations and all posterity, thev may have neglected to live for their eternal good and therefore in every view of the case, they have lived below the ends of their Creator in their existence, and if they had right views of their mistake at last, they would go down to the grave, though laden with years and riches, and honors, uttering the melancholy confession, "Life with me has been a tost n'trmturc,'-
