THANKSGIVING—A TALE.
In one of the small interior towns of
New England, where the superstition of
our ancestors still possess strong hold on
the minds of the people, the facts occurred
• few years since on which tlie billowing
tale is founded.
An honest farmer and his family, pre
paring to celebrate Thanksgiving, at his
wife’s father’s in an adjacent town, were
hurried and confused extremely tin the day
preceding that festival, by the multiplicity
of things which must be done before they
conld leave home with safety. The house
was to be banked up, and the gleanings of
the harvest, cabbages, turnips, &e. put into
the cellar, that the external entrance there
to might be closed for the season. Having
carried in the vegetables, the boys were des
patched to the barn for straw to (ill the pas
sage way, while the good man himself was
busied on the opposite side of the house.—
An old ram, the horned patriarch of a large
flock of sheep kept on the farm, having got
a taste of some of the scattered leaves of
the cabbages, unobserved entered tbo cel
lar and silently continued his feost. The
•venue through which he had entered was
immediately closed up, and all the necessa
ry work and arrangements being completed,
the larger hoys and girls set off on foot in
high glee, the dog running and harking be
fore them, apparently as well pleased with
going to Giandpapa’s as any of the happy
group. Soon after the patent pair and their
little ones, having put out the fire and fast
ed the doors and windows, by means of
many curious conti ivances to keep out
thieves, started on the same destination.
In the afternoon of the day following the
festival, which had been kept under the pa
ternal roof with many devout and jovial ex
ercises, the family returned home accompa
nied by some of their young cousins. Some
f their youthful neighbors of both sexes
were Invited in, and a metry thanksgiving
carousal was it. the full tide of successful
operation, when one of the boys, who had
been sent into the cellar with a little two
kicked candle, which gave just light enough
to make darkness visible, to draw cider,
ran hack into the room with eyes glaring
wildly, uttering a half suffocated exclama
tion—the Devil is in the cellar ! “ Poo,”
•aid the father, “you have only been fright
ened by your own shadow—give me tlie
light.” On which he seized the candle,
‘leaving the candlestick clenched fast in the
shaking hand of the boy, and boldly rushed
‘to the cellar stairs, but ete he had deseend
•ed half the steps, the large saucer eyes arid
•enormous horns of the beast caused him to
Tetreat as much teriified as his son— •* Sure
■enough the devil is in the cellar.!” The ut
most confusion and uproar now prevailed in
the house. The good man seized the great
bible and attempted to read, but the candle
sputtered, burl blue, and threw so feeble a
light on the sacred page, and the hook trem
bled so much in the hands of the reader,
that he could not distinguish one word from
another, The little children ctied and
clung to their mother—the lasses nestled
cloae to their favorite swains—and the
whole house shook with the ngitation of its
half demented inhabitants. One bright
thought however occurred—a messenger
wag dispatched for the minister, “ to ship
the Devil.”
The paison, person more celebrated
for good nature, piety and credulity, than
for talents or heroism, slipped the small Bi
ble into his pocket, put on his band and sur
plice, that he might appear as foimidahle to
his great adversary as possible, and hasten
ed to the relief of his distressed parishon
-ers.
On coming to the house the reverend
man was hailed as a deliverer, a.id implor
ed by at least a dozen voices at once, “ To
drive the devil a way.” But few moments
were lost in asking questions, which no one
could answer, before the Parson was push
ed forward as a leader, lighted by the same
penurious candle into the cellar, the most
courageous of the company keeping close
behind him. When he reached the foot of
the stairs, the eyes of fire and the shadowy
outline of enormous horns, magnified ten
rimes at least by the terrors of those that
beheld them, removed all doubt if any had
previously existed in his mind, as to the in
fernal nature of the being with whom Ins
bad to contend. The divine instantly fell
on his knees, and with uplifted hands be
gan to pray in his most fervent manner.—
The ram not understanding the good man’s
motives, but supposing by the motion of his
hands, that he was daring him to a hutting
contest, made a pass with all Irs might ut
his supposed adversary ; but deceived by
the swelling dimensions of his drapery miss
ed the slender ldy of the priest, and draw
ing hastily hack to renew the assault, hook
ed one of bis horns into the belt of his sur
plice, and pulled the parson with him into
the cellar! While thus in the power of his
victorious foe, lost to hope as it regarded
himself, the natural benevolence of his dis
position burst fortli in the exclamation—
” Brethren take care of yourselves, the Devil
has got me /” This exhortation was better
obeyed than any that he had ever delivered
from his pulpit, his friends fled and left him
to his fate.
Among the company, was a shrewd young
fanner, who had from the first supposed the
fiend t bejnothing more than some domes
tic animal, but being a lover of fun and
wMliug l see a comedy, he kept his thoughts
to hitnself, and pretended to sympathise
with th others in theii fears. lie now
thought it time to interfere, and snatching
■ pitch pine knot blazing from the fire, ex
pressed his detet ruination to rescue the par
eon. A lovely young damsel laid hold of
the skirts of his coat—and the cry of don’t,
d>n’ proceeded from every part of tbo
room. Unheeding this kind concern for his
•afety, he rushed into the cellar, seized the
ram by one of his horns and dragged the strug
gling animal up staits, calling to the aston
ished parson “follow me.” The horned
devil was led in triumph, followed by the
vanquished Ecclesiastic, into the midst of
the company. A momentary silence and
hanging down of heaos ensued. The pass
ed acene however was too ludicrous to ad
aat *f sober refleelion, and luJ peals of
laughter burst forth from every side, during !
which the ram was turned out at the door, J
the parson absented himself without cere
mony, and the sports of the evening were j
resumed in better spirits than before.

Young Men. —Young men! God in his j
Piovidence has given you birth and educa- j
tion in a great and growing Republic ; in a j
land won and defended by the hardy vir- I
tucs of a noble and self-denying ancestry, j
committed to your charge, and to be made j
the land of true freedom, religious, political !
and moral. It is yours to make this the j
fiist of lands in your literature and science; j
religion and philosophy, ait and industry.—
It is yours to instruct and inspire your j
countrymen in the great work of achieving j
true and enduring national glory and pros- 1
perity. It is for this that you have had the ,
advantages of education, means of enlarg
ing and cultivating your minds, which have j
been denied to many of our brethren. Be j
faithful in the name of God and humanity, :
he faithful to your mission—acquit your du- j
ty like men. Feel that you file under a
vow, consecrated from your cradles to the
prophets and priest of your race.
Remember young men, that it is not for
your advantage, your own pleasure, that
you are educated, or are to live. Beware
how you are to imbibe this false notion.—
Your profession as scholars has fallen into
disrepute, and colleges and universities are
regarded among us with no friendly eye,
for it has been felt, that young men are ed
ucated, not that they might better serve ihe
people, but the more easily, and in a more
respectable way, got their living out of the
people. Redeem the sacred character of
the scholar, I beseech you, from this re
proach, by devoting youiself, heart anil soul,
to the progress of your race; to the moral,
intellectual, and social elevation of men, j
especially of the poorer and more numer- j
ous classes. In so doing you will magnify I
your profession as scholars, fulfil your mis- ;
sion, do honor to your country, and receive j
the approbation of your God. — Brownsons j
Address.
Protection Married IVomrn. —Mr. !
Grieve’s Bill for the protection of the rights
of married women, will he found in another 1
column. It is as novel in its provisions, as 1
it is just to those whose tights it is intend- !
ed to secure,
W e regret to see from a correspondent !
of the Savannah Republican, that the com- I
mittee in the House, to which it was refer- j
red has made a report unfavorable to it, but
a minority report accompanies it.
While we might object to some of the |
details of the Bill, we are prepared to say !
that the main character of it is compatible j
with the commercial interests of the country. j
Its principal provisions me wise, humane j
and just.
The great wonder is, that a measure so
important .in its effects—fraught as it cer- j
tninly is, and bound up with the most sa
cred aud cherished interest of society, should
so long have-escaped the notice of the leg
islation of our country.
In our estimation, it wonld prevent a
greater amount of individual suffering thatr
any remedial or relief law that has ever
found its place upon the statute book. It
would throw up a sort of social and family !
dike to protect the home of innocence and j
purity against the flood-tide of domestic j
misfortune. When commercial wreck and |
ruin, like overwhelming waves, come upon j
the country, whose approach no forecast |
can calculate and no prudenceguaid against, j
individual fortunes, involving the happiness ;
of those, on whom fate itself might pause to i
lay its iron hand, is snatched away, and j
“ wife, children and friends,” homeless and
unfriended, are cast out upon “ the cold j
charities of the worldit is to guard
against calamities like these, that Mr. Grieve
has introduced his excellent bill.
And where, we would ask, is the injus
tice of the main provisions of it 1 When a j
woman lias property to bring into the cov
erture, it is her dear and indisputable right
to surround it by those guards and sccuri- 1
lies, which it is the object of this Bill legal
ly to create. It is only to do that by act of i
law which every woman before her mar- ,
riage has a t ight to do hv her own act. — i
Then the only object is. to declare the light 1
and to make it universally operative.
When a parent, actuated by the holiest !
motives of benevolence, has employed his i
days in the accumulation of a competence j
for a child, who by a decree of heaven is not j
fitted to battle with the rude contest of the j
world, where is the reason, the law or gos
pel, that she should not been titled to it, by |
operation (flaw, independent of any act of
her, and that too beyond the power of lm
man agency or contingency j
Again, it is urged ns an objection against !
the Bill that if the property which a woman i
brings into the coverture is secured to her j
by an act of legislation and placed beyond ]
the reach of the husband’s creditors, it would ■
pro tanto withdtaw the property from the j
active commercial interests and uses of the :
country, and to that extent lie lost. Not so; !
the property would not be destroyed or
driven from the country ; but oti the con- ;
tiary, i: would only lie made permanent in
its place, ill the long roll of assets which
constitute tlie resource of ourgreat commer
cial, individual, and fiscal wealth. The 1
property, though secured, would still yield j
its aitificial and natural increase; surely j
and constantly, tho’ gradually, contributing 1
its accumulations to swell the tide of com- i
mercial prosperity es the country —while
the great and grand desideratum of the Bill
will be accomplished—to defend the hnl- i
lowed precitils of “home! sweet home!”
and surround ihe fireside, with security,
peace and happiness.— Helicon.
“Virtue maketh men on earth famous, in i
their graves illustrous, and in Heaven im
mortal.”—Chilo.
Constant occupation prevents temptation,
and begets contentment; and contentment
is the true philosopher’s stone.

it the rule of a wise man.”— Anfisthenes.

The Tomb of Chateaubriand. —Mr.
Walsh, in one of his letters to the National
Intelligencer, thus describes the tomb of a
man who is yet living. He says :—Public
attention is again drawn to the tomb of the
| immortal author, the Viscount de Chateau
briand, who yet lives over the Observatory
i in toleiable health. He solicited, in 182S,
j from his birth place, St. Main, a grant of
space for a gra\e in the isle of Grand Bey,
nearthnt maratime town. The good folks
of St. Main voted him fifteen feet by ten on
| a point of tiic islet, and four thousand francs
j for the tomb cut in a solid rock, with a cross
of granite erected on n stone six feet long
! and three wide. The iron railing will not
j be placed ntiti 1 his mortal remains are de
-1 posited in the rock. The place can he visi
j ted only at Intv tide of tho ocean. The ad
| jacett! rocks tre steep and huge ; the whole
scene romantic to sublimity; the solitary
i cross is descried far at sea ; every day. in
j the summer, ttiere is a concourse of pilgrims
■ who pay homage and gat Iter mementos —
l flowers from file crevices and pebbles from
’ the yet untenanted grave area. What man
| so worshipped in his life time ?
