A long limo ngo, in ths AVostorn part of England, there lived tin agod conplo whoso Unto Imd passed away since early youth in the ovory day round of'furm lifo, and who had never boon known to linve the least ill-feeling towards eacit other sinca the lime when good old Parson Ileriot had united them iit the holy bonds of wedlock, twenly-iivo years before. So well was the fact of their conjugal hnpphr VII, Hint they were spoken of far Dear as tlio happiest pair in Eng land. Now the devil; (excuse tho ab rupt mention of his name) had been trying for twenty years to create wlmt is called a ‘fuss in tho family’between these old companions. But, much to his mortification, ho had not been able to induce tho old gcntlcmah to grum ble about breakfast being too late, or tho old woman to give a single curtain looturo. Aftor repeated efforts, tho dovil be came discotli-aged, and had ho not been a person of great'.determination, ho would doubtless linvo given .the work up in despair. ' Ono day as ho walked along in a very surly mood, after au to get the old lady, to quarrelabolit the (tigs getting into yard, bo met an old lady, a neigl of the aged couple. As Mr. Devil and tbe neighbor .were particular friends, they must need stop on their way and chat a little. ‘Good morning, sir,’ said tho hag, and pray what on earth mnkos you look so bad. litis morning? Isn’t the controversy between the Churches do-’ lug service ?’ ‘Yes’ ‘Isn’t Deacon W. making plenty of bad whiskey ?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Well wlmt is tho matter, my highly honored master f’ 1 - ‘Every tiling is going on woli enough,’ replied the devil; ‘hut old Bbteford and Ills wife are injuring I he cause ter ribly by their had example, and after trying four hours to induce thorn to.do right, I must say I consider them hope less.’ The, lmg stebd ,n few moments in deep thought. ‘A rayou sure you have tried in every way f ’ . ‘Every way I can think of.’ ‘Are you certain?’ ‘Yes.’ •Well,’ replied site, ‘if you will prom ise to nuke mo a present of a new pair of shoes in case 1 succeed, I will make the attempt myself, and see if I can raise a quarrel between them.’ To this reasonable-request tho devil gladly assented. The old Img went on her way to old Blueford's liouse, and found Mrs. Bhteford busily engag- prl In cret-tin? rout I v for her husband’a ‘But thero is one thing, Mr. Dovil, I would llkotolmve explained, that is, why'you handed them to mo on a stick ?’ ‘Very easy tooxplalh,’ replied ho.— ‘Any ono who has the cunning and meanness to do as you have done, don’t get nearer than twenty feot of me.’— So saying, lie fled in torror. After a while tho old womah died, and when she applied for admiaslon to tho lower regions, tho dovil would not let hor in for fear she might dethrone him, as slio was so much bit superior, So the old woman is y.ot condemned to . 1 . 1 u'l'uss MII.LBlt-8 DAUtilT TBB. tcnntSon. .

The great secret of happiness, is not to be annoyed by petty thwartings, and not to aspire to unattainable objects. He who culti vates the spirit of contentment, will, lu time, reap tlie rioli reward; and he who who would most effectually secure tho priceless jewel to himself, must confer it upon others. He who takeB it as a duty and a pleasure to make others happy,has wjtliin his own breast, a living fountain of happinees that an gels might covot. Happy is tho man . who is an early riser. Every morning day comes ,to him with a virgin’^ love, full of bloom, and purity ,aud freshness. Tlio youth of Nature is contagious, like tlm gladness of a happy child.. Wo doubt if any man can he called old, so long aa he is an early riser and art early walk er. And (oh,youth! take our word for it) youth in dressing gown and slippers, drawling ove’r breakfast' iit noon, is a very decrepit, ghastly imago of llmt youth which secs tlio sun lilusit over the, mountains, aiid the dew sparkling upon blossoming hedgerows.

Much the same talk in relation to his domestlo happi ness passed between him and the old woman. ‘But', friend Blueford,” said she, ‘I think it my duty ns a Christian to warn you to bo on your guard, for I tell you your wife intends your ruin.’ Old Mr. B. was very much astonish ed, yet ho could hot wholly discredit her words. When ho reached homo he throw himself on a bed in'perplex ity, and felgnitlg liiihself asleep, Bod ied the matter over in his inin'ili , His wife, thinking this a good opportunity for cutting off the obnoxious hair, took her husband's razor and crept softly to ltis side. Now, the old lady woe much frightened at holding a razor so near to her husband’s neck, and her hand was not so Bteqdy ns it once was; tb, between tbe two, Bho went to work Very awkwardly, and pulled the hairs, instead of cutting them off. Mr. B. opened his eyes, and there stood his wife with a razor nt his throat, After what bo had been told, and seeing this, he could not doubt but that she intend ed to murdei him. He sprang from the bed in horror, and no explanation or entreaty could convinoe him to the contrary. So from that timo there was jaw, jaw, quarreling imd wrangling all the time. With delight the dovil heard of tho success of ths faithful emissary, and sent her word, if she would meet him fl t the endof the lane at a certain time, ho would pay her the shoos. At the appointed time she repnired to tbs spot, and found tho dovil at the place. He put the shoes on a polo, and stand ing on the opposite side of the fonce, banded them over to her. She was much pleased with tl)em-,they were exactly the artiqlp, water . only giving in to steam cars by slow degrees. But all the vials of ins con tempt were poured out upon the idea of a telegraph, and he was wont to say that nobody need try to come the “green” over him in that way, for he imd been in the Legislature. Finally, the State road was built, and one day workmen began to put up the telegraph posts' right in front of'ills house, aud to stretch the wire. His exultant neighbors thought that they had him on that occasion, and asked ; “Well, old follow, wliat d'p you think of tho telegraph now?” He was cornered, JVuf died game. Drawing himself up nn inch taller, he said: “Gentlemen, when I was In tho Legislature I gave this subject iny very attentive consid eration, And I said then, as I 6»y now, that it may do for loiters and small packageshiit it never will take a cotton bale—never/" AttTKMUS Ward had nn adventure ip Boston once, which resulted as fol lows t . I returned in boss-cars part way.— A pooty girl in spectacles sot near me, and was tellin a young man how much he reminded her of a young man she used to know in Waltham. Pooty •oon'the young man got out, and smil ing in n scductivo manner I said to the girl in spectaoios,— ‘Don’t I remind you of some one you used to ltilow ?’ • “Yes,” snjd she, “you do remind mo of a man, hut he was sent to the pen itentiary for stealing a barrel of mack erel ; lie died there, so I conclood you ain’t him.” I did not pursuo the conversation. A Hog.—A certain lawyer was ap plied to for a legal opinion' by a poor neighbor, in which the interests of the latter were materially involved. The lawyer furnished tho opinion, and charged five dollars for it. , “There is.the money," said his cli ent, “and it is all 1 have in the world, and my family hae been a long lime without pofk." “Thank Heaven!” replied tbe attor ney, “my wife has never known tho Want of pork since the day wo were married,” “And never will," said'hie client, “so long as Bke has suoh a great hog "s you.” ■ The attorney was so, pleased With the smartness of his repartee that he forgave tho poor fellow and returned him his money.

There are some men who affect to disapprove of an ctithusiaam they know nothing of, thus transform ing their impotence into wisdom. It is a common belief among the Ef&ptians that every traveller is an emissary from his king. Is it not so, in truth ? Are not we earthly travel lers all emissaries from our Ring?— Have We not His message to deliver, and at our journey’s end, is it not to Him that our account must be ren dered ? When hearts-ore filled with holy af fections, Snd home is happy, then do the young dwell in a charmed circle, which only the naturally depraved would Beek'lo quit, and across which boundary temptations to error shinp out hut feebly. Thomas Hood died composing, and that, too, a humorous poem. He is said to Unvo remarked that he was dy ing out of charity to the undertaker, who wished to urn a lively Hood. Josh Billiug is speculating op floods, He arrives at this conclusion:. “Tlicr aint no doubt in mi mind but that tho flood was a perfect success; and I have thought that another jnst such a ono would pay well now in some sektions of the country.” He who is passionate and hasty, is generally honest.
