JONES AND JOHNSON.
Eleven Hundred Years Ago.
Looking back to the year 756, the student of
history finds events transpiring at that time in
Laly, which, with the men engaged in them,
have a singular correspondence aiih what is
now going forward on the same field. It was
in that year that, hs the result of an iniquit
ous bargain entered into by Pope Stephen and
Pepin, King ot France, the Bishop of Home
beauty * trcnpcjral prince. . Pepin nnad^d the.
help of Stephen in establishing himself upon
the throne he had usurped. Having impris
oned the weak King Charles of France in a
monastery, he had seized the sceptre for him
self. The Pope's influence with his super
stitious subjects would materially serve his
cause, if exerted on his side. Stephen, on his
own part, wished to add to that spiritual su
premacy which was uow generally conceded to
the Papal chair throughout Western Europe,
the powers and revenues of a secular prince.
Aud recent event* seemed favorable to his
wishes.
There were four Provinces in that part of
Italy which would be most convenient for the
purposes of Papal sovereignty: Ravenna, Cam
pania, Rome, and Pentapolis. Of these, Ra
venna properly belonged to the Greek Emper
or, at Constantinople. It was governed by an
Exarch, as the Emperor’s representative. In
stigated by the Pope, and absolved by him
from their allegiance the people revolted and
killed the Exarch, Paul. Campania was gov
erned by its own Duke. But he about this
time was killed, and at the same instigation.
Rome had a municipal government of its own,
but not an efficient one. Astolphus, the King
of the Lombards, learning of these things,
came with an army, and seized upon Ravenna
and Pentapolis. Stephen, having failed in an
attempt to bend Aatolpbua to his own policy,
called to his aid Pepin the Short, of France,
who, as we have just said, bad recently usurp
ed the throne of that kingdom. Tepin came
with an army, defeated Astolphus, and then,
on the condition that Stephen should grant the
Papal sanction to his seizure of the French
throne, gave to him the four provinces named
above.
It wa«, then, a king of France who placed
Pope Stephen in possession of his temporal
sovereignty. An emperor of France has been
a chiet instrument in taking from Pope Pius
IX. a large portion of the territory thus
granted. A Lombard king also played a part
in these transactions, and in that quarter of
Italy where he thin held rule, Victor E uanuel,
the prince who takes possession of the pro
vinces which the Pope has been compelled to
abandon, now reigns. It seems a singular fact
that the parties to what is at present going on.
should, alter (he changes of so many cemu
ries, be so similar to those in the original
transaction.
Their mutual relations, however, are much
altered. The French Emperor aud the Lorn
hard King are now the confederates, and the
Pope is J he victim The method pur.-ued in
the transfer of sovereign y, by which Pius IX
loses and Victor Emanuel gains the provinces
of the Romagna, is also strikingly ditferon*
from that which Pepin and Stephen adop>ed.

BY MAUT B. CUSHMAN.
We risk nothing in re-publishing this life
like, instructive and entertaining little story.
Some of our younger readers may never have
seen it, and many of the older ones might do
weij to rw-peruse it and hand it over to some
unfortunate character like poor Jones :
William Johnson and Edwm Jones were both
of them farmers, and they were also near
neighb ors. Their farms were beautifully sita
sted; the soil naturally productive. So far
there was not a particle of difference between
the two places. Yet they wore a very different
asnect. Johnson’s buildings looked nice and
tidy. His door yard was clean, his house
neatly painted, his windows whole. His barn
and out-buildings were snug and comfortable,
his orchard looked thrifty, and the tiees were
carefully dressed. Now, Mr. Jones had no
more of a family to support than his neighbor,
yet the aspects of his house and farm were
very different. Old rubbish was kicking around
in the yard, that should have been in less un-
sig'atly places; his house looked weather-beaten
and neglected; rags were seen in spots where
panes of glass were expected to be found;
there were large cracks in his barn, through
which the winds of heaven had free course.
Ilis apple trees were disfigured by old bark
and dead limbs ; in ehort, everything seemed to
wear a look of dilapidation and neglect. Ed
win Jones was a hard-working man, yet every
thing was at loose ends with him, and he often
caught himself wondering how it was that his
neighbor Johnson kept along so smoothly and
quiet, yot had everything in perfect order.
Uand it be true that when life’s fitful lamp
Hath ceased to burn, that I will be released
From all my care, and soar to fairy world*
Oil high, where a «r a pa» iak««wn—
Nor sigfrs, nor teaw^ Will T Bbte wings
On which to voyage o’er yon blue expanse,
And visit alt those worlds of light and love
\\ bich seem afar like islands of the bleat
ding a yellow light over yellow figures ; of
sofas, on the backs of which the riands of
Justice were embroidered in black and white
silks; of tapeatiw of “Anbusson,” apple-green,
and upon which might be distinguished, in
faint-marked squares, first: the fatal duel of
the Baron de Bouteville with the Marquis de
Bouveron, in the centre of the Place Royale.
Further on, you saw the Baron de Bouteville
arrested by the Provost and his officers at
Viry-le-Brule. Further still, upon a square
which marked a door, you assisted at the Bur-
en’s execution upon the Place de Greve.
No one could ever forget the high £ray win
dows ; the pictures, out of all proportion, from
which frowned fearfully the aark portraits of
Judges, and “Presidents a Morfcier,” all sur
mounted by wigs of a size which gave them
tho appearance of black lions growling be
neath their mighty manes.
After a few months, however, you began to
grow familiar with these terrors. Gradually
I dared to look upon the portrait of the great
ancestor of the family, standing upright in
his frame, which was at least a foot thick, and
dressed in the costume of a Judge of the
“Chambre Ardente.” I even dared to touch

The symbol of that tragic hour,

And hell’s arch “serpent,” wounded, “lick the

With those he loved, and talked to them
Of sorrowing here no more. He spake

Which he would send.
Then on a “cloud” he sate, and upward rose;
While they, with pale, sad faces, gazed at him.

Vulcan was a mighty artisau; and burning

The gold himself has perished with the my

rious furnaces and smoke funnels still remain,
shaking the earth with their heat, blowing off
ashes and slag in terrible blasts, and remind
ing us of the ancient myth by their volcanic
or Vulcanic appellation.
Fire also remains the friendliest and yet the
most fatal of elements. It is itself a god ; the
great artisan, forger of iron, builder and pro
in its power, devours the house in which it has
so long faithfully served—at times even lick
ing up whole cities with its flaming tongues.
So love, the fire of life, is the artificer of all
human graces; in deep caret beneath the sea
of passion, blowing the furnaces of the soul’s
energy ; forging the weapons of truth, the ar
mor of virtue, the scales of justice, kb* rup of
happiness; also, alas! turning its hand to
many harmful things—the chalice of jealousy,
the dagger of revenge; for this fire, too, is an
evil fire, when perverted from its divine uses.
It showers down upon us in sunshine of benifi •

drops like lightning from the clouds of a
stormy and dark passion. It is the glowing
One rainy day in the fall, after harvesting
was over, Johnson was at work in his tool
chamber, when his neighbor Jones entered.
“Johnson,” said the latter, after he had
watched his neighbor’s plane a few moments,
“how much did that sled of yours cost? *1
have got to have one this winter.”
“ Oh, that cost me nothing; I made that my
self. I got out the timber last winter; so that
matter’s disposed of, and I feel proud of it, too.
It’s my first attempt.”
“ Well, neighbor Johnson, I don’t see how
in the world you get along so. Your farm
don’t produce any more than mine does, and I
don’t believe you work as hard as 1 do. Your
wife don’t make any better butter than mine ;
your sheep don’t grow any better wool. You
raise more fruit, to be sure.”
“ l have not so many trees as you.”
“ No, but the fruit is of a better quality, and
finds a ready market.”
“Yes, because I have taken pains to obtain
the best grafts. My trees were the same as
yours when we start' d. My cows give more
milk than yours do in winter, because (hey
have a warmer barn. I raLe more pork than
you do, because my pens are tight and com

The mistress of the mansion had described
to me the characters and habits of the few
persons who made up her Wednesday even

who were unreproached even by the slightest
condescension towards the Empire, with all
its seductions, and who had demanded of the
restoration nothing more than the innocent
privilege of resuming their early habits.
Madame dc liacqueville permitted me to
come early, in order to introduce me one by
one to the persons who honored her mansion
with their presence.

“ I kno * It, but Edam Jones is not the man
to be offended with a neighbor for friendly ad

and he soon found himself the ownrr of quite
a -little’ lot of implements. This thing oper
ated in many wnys for good. Now that he had
the ability to fix up his buildings without bor
rowing tools, he began to take pride iu doing
It. He reset bis windows, roofed his bee
house, built new pig peos, tightened his barn,
and In rainy weather waa never without a
plaaaant and profitable employment. His cows
do not break through the barn floor now, and
they give as much milk, hts bees make as much
beney. bis trees yield as good apples, at bis

Nor has the government of the Pope ever
been patiently endured by its subjects. There
i9 reason even now to believe, that if it should
be left, without foreign interference, to the
will of the people, what remains ot it would be
speedily wiped out. Nor can this finishing
event be very far off. It cannot be long before
the words of the Psalmist will be literally true
of the nmn of sin; “His mischief shall return
upon his own head, and his violent dealing
shall come down upon his own pate.” The
dark and dreary annals of Papal usurpation
are drawing to a close, and the Lotd himself
will ere long annul that unrighteous covenant
in which, eleven centuries since, a foundation
for it was laid. Surely every friend of hu
manity and of <io«l must rejoice at the pros
pect.

—There is also a difference between the econ
omy of the two sexes. Adopting the principle
that it ia a rudimentary virtue, men soon begin
to cast the burden of saving and close reckon
ing on their female friends. In the dawn of
early youth, both sexes are ordinarily taught
to keep accounts. In the good moments of
life, which furtunately visit every one in turn,
many youths resolve to resume the wholesome
practice, and carry it on resolutely and accu
rately for a day or two. But then the fit sub
