THE DOriil.F. !)lsAFI'OINT.m:iT. A L V ENOLAM' TALE. There lived, nbo-.ii ciibtem years "go in n -.-nail valley bordering -n the cast batik of the 'lnnRtr.nick river, in the State of Connecticut. Zcdekiah Baymond, a substantial Yankee fir-j mer, who had amassed a handsome fortune by the industry and economy of hime!l", his wife, and an only son named Joseph, who was the sole survivor of 5i children Of course, he was ;i favorite with his parents, who gave him on education at least Hrjual to any of his rcghbors; and his Sunday clothes outshone them all. Although he claimed no snTeriority over the poorest of hi noa'ates, still he was looked n;nm by many with an eye. of envy.

At the time our story comnu rices, he ,Vas twenty-two years of age. While setting, ,.. cold winter evening with ins parent, niuumu ai tparkliiii fire, regaling themselves with apples, ruts, and cider, a is customary at that season v. ith every New England farmer, old Zcdekiah (or so he wa familiarly termed by his nehbors) thus addressed his son : "Josey you know that I am getting old." "res, sir " vtnd vonr motlirr is cettlrr-r eld too, and rmlongcr able to atteud to the dairy, and do all the other work aborit the ho;ie, a shp used to do. Don't you understand me Josey V Josey looked at. the tire for a full minute without scarcely winking, and then fell to work ami ate at least half a dozen large apple3, drank a pint of cider, and cracked a quart of nuts before t nid a word . "Daddy, 1 don't know ns I exactly comprehended what ynnt meant, but I kinder guess that mother want somebody to help her about the I.ouse. Aaint that it, "daddy?" T.xnctlv Joov,and you know that good hired gi'W? are hard to be gtt-' "And so are good u-i'i cr," thought Josey. 'Now-, Josey can't you find some nice, tidy gill, that you would like well enough to to v "To marry," said the old lady, hnUhing the question. Jrtsey nle another apple, took another glass o eder and laid some wood on tU fire. "Ye. Josev. youre old enouch to settle in life; vou will be well provided for; and now ithe time. Your mother and I married at nineteen, without a dollar to begin with; and wr have never been soiry for it yet. Have we,! - L-icy?" "o Zeddy, not as I know of.' 4llbit d'-nldy, how'll I go to work to pick one, 1 like all the girl well enough, but hang me it 1 can tell which I like best. I'd rather under t ike to pit k a good yoke of oxen Out of a drove of five hundred. However; Ml think on t and nest bun day I'll look at all the gals in the meetin' hoase, and may-he I can pitch upon one that I'd be williu' to try lor. Here the party broke up and the trio retired 0 rest. 1'crhaps there is not a class of people T11 the civilize ! world so uniformly contented and happy as the peasantry of New-England. They retire early to rest ; their sleep is sweet; they rise early; and resume their neeustonred avocations with smihi'g countenances indexes of hearts unscathed by eare. In the family of Zedekiah Kaymoud, however, this night formed a trilling exception. The old lad's curiosity was more than ordinarily excited, as to whom .losey would schxt for her daughter-in-law.

Polly held a consultation solus; which resulted fin a determination no longer to trille with what tier father had already pronounced a serious affair, but to violate the'arbitrary rules w hich custom had prescribed to females similarly situated. Pursuant to this resolution she addressed to Joseph the following note : "Joseph After your sudden and icietptcltd departure last evening, I found a handkerchief on the carpet, marked with your name.

The times arc full of the darkest omens. Kvery wind that sweeps over the land, is burdened with signs of the inevita hie crisis. The momentous trial-time of the Republic is at hand. In comparison witli the dangers that now impend over the country, all the perils through which she has hitherto passed, even the fierce strifes upon the Missouri question and the more recent agitations and convulsions of the South, are but as solitary clouds compared with the thick blackness of the midnight tempest. Those, who have obtain ed the command of the ship of Stale seem resolved either to whelm her forever beneath the roaring waves, or to force her upon the Dead Sea of Despotism, where there shall be neither wind nor cloud to disturb the monotony of the stagnant and pestilential waters.
