What a racrifice most of os unwillingly make, How the lipe will smile though the heart may ache. And we bend to the ways ef the world for the sake Of Us poor and scanty praises. And time rnns on with such pitiless flow That onr lives are wasted before we know What work to finish before we go To onr long rest under the daisies. And too often we fall in a useless fight, For wrong is so much in the place of right, And the end is so far beyond onr sight, ’Tis as when one starts on a ebase by night, An unknown shade pursuing.

Mr. James Caswell’s wife bad been dead six weeks, and Mr. Caswell bad worn a weed on bis bat, and kept bia eyes, whenever tbe dear departed was mentioned, with tbe most ex emplary propriety. At tbe end of aix weeks be considered that be bad done bis duty by the first Mrs. Cas- well.and felt himself at liberty to be looking around for tbe second lady of tbe same name. He needed a housekeeper, and bia five little children needed tbe care of a mother. He bad fixed bia eyea on tbe widow Biggina, and all thing3 considered, perhaps he could not have made a better ohoice. She was about bia age—forty-two; she was good-lookiDg, bad about three thousand dollars worth of prop erty, and bad just been jilted by Jeremiah Jenkins. And a woman who has been jilted is generally all ready to heal her heart with another specimen of tbe same faithless sex. Mr. Caswell broke the ice by sending the widow a squash. He raised a large quantity of squashes, and the bugs devoured all the widow’s vines. Mrs. Biggins responded by sending him a mince pie with her compliments. And tbe next Sunday night, Mr. Caswell sail ed to tell her how fond he was of mince pies, and how nice be thought ber’s was. After this, tbe acquaintance progressed rapidly.— Mr. Caswoll bought a new buggy, and ordered a new pair of boots. * Make ’em to fit close, Mr. Laater,’ said he, to tbe busy little shoemaker. * Seems to me I ought to wear eights instead of nines.’ •Can’tdo it, sir!’ said the little man— ‘ You’ve got a bunion as big as an oBlon on your right great toe, and your beel is tbe long est I ever seed, except on a gentleman of color.’ Tho boots were finished, and sent borne on Saturday night, and on Sunday Mr. Caswell bad engaged to drive tbe widow over to church in tbe new boggy, and with the new boots on Early Sunday morning be began bis prepa rations. He put on the thinnest pair of stock ings be bad, and made a trial of the boots— Bat they refused to go on. They were neat and handsome and genteel, bnt they would not begin to make tbo acquaintance of Mr. Cas well's understandings. He tagged, and pall ed, and sweat, and swore—all to no purpose, Tbe time for starting for cbnrcb drew nigb He called in his two hired men—stalwart brothers—named John and Sam Steele. They took bold with a will—one bold of one strap, and tbe other bold of tbe other, while Mr. Cas well planted himself firmly in bis chair. And the result was over went Mr. Caswell chair, Sam, John, and all, into tbe floor, break ing tbe dinner pot to flinders, and nearly knocking tbe life out of old Rover, who was sunning himself just behind bis master on tbe hearth. Caswell got np and rubbed bis ringing head with vinegar. * Confound it!' said be, * I didn't think wonld be each a tight squeeze. Try it again, boys! I’ll sit in tbe window this time, and see if yon can pnll the side of the boose over !* It was a long pnll, and a pall all together, bnt it was all in vain. * It'a no nse,’ said Sam, wiping tho sweat from bis forehead,' yonr stocking will have to come off.’ So tbe stockings were removed, and, by dint of a great deal of perseverance, the boots were got en to the feet intended for them. Tbe horse was already harnessed to the new boggy„snd donning bis Sunday beaver, Mr. Caswell limped ont, and elimbed into the car riage. Tbe boots hurt awfully, bnt bis feet looked like pictures in tbem, he said to him self, contemplating tbem with admiration, and he bad beard the widow admire small feet great many times. He soon bad her by bis aide—radiant in new pink bonnet and a green abawl, and they bowled right merrily over tbe hard track tbe cbnreb. Tbe pain In Mr. Caswell’s feet bad subsided from tbe aeote into a doll, sleepy ache—he seemed to feel cot off from his bones down— bnt what does a man care for feet and legs who is in love, when in tbe presence of tbe beloved object f Tbo conversation was sweetly interesting— be bad managed to squeeze the widow's hand nnder the robe, and abe bad blosbed and gig gled just as be remembered tbe first Mrs. Cas well did when he was courting her. Tbe cbnrcb was reached ail too quickly. Tbe services bad not yet commenced, and the people were standing ahont under the trees knots of half a dozen, talking of the weather and tbe crops. Widow Biggins was smilingly triumphant. Caswell’s was the finest tnrn-out in town, and she know her new bat was becoming, and realized that she was killing half her female lightly to tbe ground. But, alas! be had for gotten his feet, which by this time were as I held a treasared fragrant earl, good as dead from the terrible compression And let it ronnd my finger twirl, they bad undergone, and when be struck it J®* thought, ‘ 'Tis strange a few short years —u or bis head instead of o.
