will was fair. Whatever she commanded
was d<»ne. for be knew the penalty of disobedience.—
fnder his accumulating tortures bis flesh fell off:
long drawn sight frequently burst from bis over
charged heart, and it was very evident to all that he
was unhappy. Everybody pitied him, except his wife,
an I she extended her rule more anti more every
day.
If was an exceedingly stormy night. The rain
>•.>. pt down in such torrents that it seemed as if an
other deluge was coming to devastate earth. The
thunder burst on high as if the very heavens wore
splitting, and many a falling chimney gave evidence
of the violence of the wind. David Stoats sat by his
fireside alone, musing on his troubles. The storm
without was unheeded: there was a secret tempest
agitating Lis breast, which forbade him to think of
anything else. At last he made up a praiseworthy
resolution. His thoughts became words, and he inut
tu rod something like the following“ Thun dor and
lightning, just as if 1 was going to mind her ! I’m her
husband, ami she is my wife—then she ought to obey
m>. But instead of that, she orders me around just
as it 1 was that d »g. Come here. Zeb, lie down, you
’re my old friend,” be continued, as the intelligent
animal slowly raised himself, and licked his hand.—
“ Now isn’t it too Lad that she should try for to make
a brute of me ? Well we’ll see; the next time she
says anything to me, I’ll be darned if ”
• You will, will you!” he heard in an angry ton*,
close to his ears. Gracious heaven ! there she was,
her eyes glowing with anger, like two coals of fire.—
She had entered the room unperceivod by him. and
had h«.ard the whole of bis muttered soliloquy.—
•• Take that for your pains!” she said, and he receiv
ed a blow on one ear, which nearly knocked him over:
•• and that!” as he felt a similar application on the
other side of his head, which set him up again.—
•• Now go and get some wood : don’t yon sec it is al
most burnt out, stupid ?”
‘•But my dear, it rains!” said David in a suppli
cating tone, with his courage evaporating out at the
ends of his fingers.
••And what of that?” replied the gentle Amelia,
‘ do you think I am to go ? And how dare you
bring that dog into this room with his muddy feet?—
Come, off with you. both of you!” and giving poor
Zeb a ki. k that sent him to the other end of the room,
au l raising the poker to pursue her enquiries, the
ir.‘t fallen Dari-i and the dog skulked out together,
while the amiable wife. with a snicker, said, •• A pret
ty fellow to talk of ruling me?—we'll see indeed,” and
went off to bed.
David soon came in. dripping with rain, and with
the wo.»d in bis arms: but although his wife was
asleep he did not dare to let in the dog, hut with a
heavy heart, left him out to bowl in the storm. Sit
ting to dry himself he continued his thoughts—this
time, however, keeping them to himself.
•• Every body laughs at me and they think I'm a
coward, but 1 only wish they’d try it, that's all. I
wish I had never married her, or could get rid of
her in some way. I really believe I would give my
soul to the devil, if I could bring that about!”
He accidentally looked around just then. He start
ed in affright, for sitting at his side was a little man,
dressed in a full suit of black. Could it be the devil
himself? He glanced down at the intruder's feet.
“So you arc looking for them, arc you?” said the
stranger, lifting up his cloak and presenting to view
th.) prettiest pair of hoofs that ever grew on man or
beast. “ Or. if you want any further evidence, look
hero !” aud unbuttoning his coat, he slowly unwound
from his body a long, black beautiful, shiny toil,
which he drew through his fingers with all the case
and grace with which an exquisite handles his silver
topped cane.
“ Now isn’t it a beauty ? I take particular delight
in it. Just sec how soft and silky it is,” continued
Lis Satanic Majesty, banding the tail over to David,
who recoiled in affright. “Oh! you are afraid of it
arc you ? Well, some arc, sometimes,” ho added as
he rewound it around his body, buttoned his coat ami
smiled complacently.
David said nothing, but he looked as if bo would
gladly have been away.
“ It’s a stormy night,” said the devil, starting a new
theme. .
“ Yes. -• s-sir,” gasped poor Staats.
•• flow’s the crops ?”
‘‘ Pretty well, thank you.”
“Glad to hear it. Why, how cold it is here. Why j
don’t you put on some more wood?”
“ The w w wood is wet,” David managed to get out
“Oh ! is that all? I ean easily fix that; now see,’
replied the devil. Ho put his foot on the pile; there
was a sudden hissing: a thick steam arose, i t filled
the room so that no object was visible. When it clear
ed away the wood was dry; his majesty piUd it on
the fire until it was so insufferably but that David
could hardly breathe.
“ Ah. well now it begins to be a little comfortable.
I thought as it was a raining I would just step in and

“ You don't believe me. I see; but I will make abet

soul. Do you agree?”
A sudden thought struck the host. “Y’es.” he cri
t 1 eagerly. The devil's eyes sparkled. He felt sure
"f winning. They shook hands on it.
Suddenly, Da* id Stoats threw the poker over to
the other side of the room. Next the shovel went the
same way. Finally hr threw down with a great
crash the dresser, full of plates. This bad the de
sired effect : Mrs- Staats woke up.

“V»u goto grass,” her husband answered, as he
imitated the bark of poor Zeb.
Ihe lovely Amelia sprang up in a perfect torrent
of anger.
”11 w dare you let tha; dag in again,” said she, as
she bounced into the room. “And what arc you do

who sal wondering at the scene, and whom she mis

Lapland Reindeer Travel.
Bayard Taylor, in big lecture on
thus speaks of reindeer travel :
“A more bleak and dismal region than the
greater part of Lapland could not be imngin
ed, eicept when the noonday sky of winter
covers it with a mantle of crimson and gold.
Here, however, God has made the home of one
animal, without which human life would be
impos.«ible. What the camel is to the Arab
the reindeer is to tlri Laps. He was created ;
especiaJly for service in the snow, as the cam
el was for journeys over the sand. He is not
much bigger than a large Newfoundland dog
and a strong man could easily lift him. His
muscular strength Is not great, yet he lias a
vast deal of endurance. His hoof is divided
into two compartments, like that of the cam- >
el, so that it sj.readg out and covers a large
surface when lie puts it down, the parts com
ing togetlier as he lifts it tip again. This pe
culiarity, combined with his lightness of body,
prevents him from sinking into the snow.
From this animal the Lnp obtains his clothes,
tent, thread, needles, meat, milk, butter, cheese
the handles of his knives, in fact, everything
lie uses, except his musket and a little cotfee.
But of all perverse, obstinat, stupid alimals,
the reindeer stands at the head. Although he
lias been so long domesticated, h« has not in
creased in sagacity. The common deer and the
gazelle mav become familiar with the presence
of man, bift they never show the least degree
of affection for him ; and the same is true of
reindeer. All he knows is to jump and run
when ho is harnessed, and turn round and
stand still whenever he chooses to do so.—
His speed has been greatly exaggerated.—
There are few reindeer in Lapland that will
travel fifteen miles an hour, but there arc n
great many that will go one hundred and twen
ty mile sin twenty-tour hours.
To drive a reindeer in the little canoe-like
skdges is like undertaking to drive a sturgeon
in a rough sea. It is no easy matter to retain
one’s balance. If you arc a new hand, your
first sensation is a perfect blank, tor you find
t yourself head downward in a snow drift. -
(Laughter and applause.) After a series ot
such experiments you at last succeed in keep-
I itig your balance, even when asleep, and gui
ding the animal, but you cannot prevent him
from jumping round, and staring at you with
most provoking coolness, as much as to say.
"sV4iat are you going to do about it There
is nothing to do but turn him round, start
him again, and take your chance of jumping
into the sledge as he rims. The animal shows I
no recognition of his master, except that he j
will allow him to approach him more easily
than he will anybody else. Ihis is the extent ■
of his affection.
The sagacity- with which the deer pick out :
the hidden path under the snow, was aston-I
ishing. On those exposed plains every wind |
tills up the furrows and the traveler is drift-'
ing on a pathless sea. The leading deer, driv
en by a careful Lap, picks out the concealed
trail as castly as a pioneer follows the track ;
or, if he looses it now and then, crosses back
ward and forward till he strikes it again.—
Be hind him glides the little caravan in single
tile, silent and strange as a procession of phan
toms. There is nothing to be heard but the
breathing of the deer, ami a slight crunching
sound of the sledge upon the snow ; as you si
in the uncertain twilight a strange and subtle
enchantment seems to come over you, mid
you almost doubt your own indeutity. “Am
I,” you ask, “the man who once lectured be
fore literary societies, to large and intelligent
audiences < (Laughter and applause.) Do I
inhabit the same earth where steamboats exist
and oysters arc opened, [renewed laughter,] and
where w omen's rights conventions are held f
Valentines.
Among similar favors we have received the
following, enclosed in a delicate pink envelope,
neatly printed upon note paper with an in
scription surrounded by a wreath of flowers,
and sonmmuted with a couple of Cupids, etc.
We submit it to the consideration of the Ladies,
and take occasion to assure them that Darby’s
Brophy lactic is the best Cosmetic extant. But
to the Valentine:
THIS DAV to LOVE we dedicate!
Bright BEAI TV is sweet Cupid’s mate,
And Beauty’s most attractive wiles
Are teeth of pearls 'midst dimpled smiles,
With hands w hose whiteness doth compare
With snow-drops, and w ith lilliesfair;
And breath as fragrant as the breeze
O’er Ilybla's vales, a swarm with bees!
Now DAHHi~S FL VID thou shouldst know
These winning graces can bestow ;
With this thy matchless charms refine,
And thou shalt be MV V ALENTINE.
Somewhat different from the aliovo, is the fol
lowing Irish Valentine, which we find going
the rounds of the papers :
Och, Paddy, Swate Paddy,
If 1 'twas ye’re daddy,
I'd kill ye with kisses intirely :
If 1 was ye're brother,
And likewise ye’re inuther.
I’d see that ye went to bed airly.
To taste of ye're breath,
I’d starve me to death.
And lay off me hoops altogether ;
To joost have a taste
Os ye're arm on me waste,
I'd larf at the warmest of w eather.
Then Paddy, be mine,
Me own swate Volentiue—
Ye’ll find me ls>th gintie and civil;
Our life we will spind
To an illegant ind.
\And care may go dance wid the divil.
Bhiihibt.
Tuk Last or Eahtu. —The Paris correspondent of
the Boston Traveler, has the following :
** Never envy a man. All have their hardens, and
be ‘that tompreth the wind to the .«horn lamb* hath I
enduwed habit with the power of aleviatiug the heav
iest toads. The other day there was a splendid fu

die horrors of Death were assembled. The crowd was .
numerous. The luxurious mansion of the great
banker was one great funeral chamber. The Bank

ia a hundred and twenty thousand dollars. He is '
the head of a joint stock banking company, which

We give a sample. One paper says: ‘A friend
at our elbow says that there isa pieceof road not

’ There is a nigger in this town so black that

| “Hold on Dar.”—The Piqua (S. C.) Regis
i ter has the following, in a recent issue deserito
; ing an incident among the slaves :
‘•Quite a revival is now in progress at the
African Church in this city. We were present
a few evenings since, anti witnessed, with much
f gratification, their earnest devotion. Os the
• incidents we cannot fail to note one. A broth
er was supplicating the throne, eloquently,
when another brother called out in stentorian
voice,
“ Who dat pray’ng ober dar?”
“ The rcs|K>nsc was, ‘ Oat’s brother Mose.’ ”
“ Hold on dar, brudder Mose !” was the dic
tum of the former, ‘you let brudder Ryan pray,
he’s better ’quainted with de L »rd dan you

Ryan praye<i.
A Nava! officer writing from Hong Kong to
the Philadidphia Lodger, relates the following
. incident, illustrative of the ingenuity of the Ja-
I panose in niochanieal coiitrisani es: “Before
' leaving Japan we saw a most interesting dis
! play of a ‘ winter evening amusement for chil
dren.’ One of our Dutch friendshad presented
i us with a small box, containing what looked
like several hundred pieces of broom straw, from
I three-eighths to an inch in length. ‘ I hrow
I one of those in that cup of hot water,’ he said.
1 We di<l as desired, and it had no sooner touch
j ed the surface than it expanded into a perfect
' representation of a Japanese woman in full
dress. Another proved to be a buffalo-like cow:
I a third was a sword, and a fourth a handsome
i walking cane. ‘ Throw in a dozen at a time,’
said our friend. Os course we complied, pick
ing them up at random, and all proved to be dis
, j ferent. There were houses, dogs, short-tailed
I cats, horses, trees and flowers: and I suppose
had we thrown in half the box, wc should have
seen duplicates of almost everything known to
1 tlic Japanese. As it was, however, we curiied
our curiosity, divided the contents of the Im>x
i between us, anil stowed them away in our
rooms for the purpose of astonish mg the natives
at home.”
Akcuerv.—The B istoii Courier, gratified
I with the fact that the world moves, as indicated
' by the general participation in the sports of
! skating by the men and w men of New Eng
-1 land, now recommends archery a* the summer
| successor of the Winter sport. It says, so far as
wo know, there is hut one archers’s club in this
country—the United Bowmen of Philadelphia
I —but we should rejoice to know that such clubs
existed throughout the country, and should re
gard their formation as a firm and decided step
in the march of physical education. The prac
tice of archery might form a very pleasant ad
dition to the attractions of a Summer residence
in the country, and by the establishment of
shooting galleries it would also furnish healthy
and pleasant recreation for the city, when the
weather was such as to interrupt out of door
sports. Shall we ever have the pleasure of see
ing on B «ton Common a match between the
Archers’ Clubs of New York, Philadelphia and
B >ston ?”
A College Joke.
One of the earliest Presidents of Jefferson
College, Penn., was the venerable Dr. McMil
lan, a man of great gravity ami dignity of man
ners.
In those early times it was customary for
the students, when meeting the President, to
remove the hat from the head, place it under
the left arm. ami pass the compliments of the
day.
Among the students was Tom Devon, nn ec
centric fellow. His father was rich, and as
Tom was always “flush xvith money,” the
height of his ambition was to sport a gold hend
ed cane ami gallant the old Greek professor’s |
daughters.
The term student, which he bore in common
with the other members of the college, was a
misnomer. Tom's mind was more deeply en
grossed with back-gammon, checkers and ‘old
sledge,’ than with his mathematics, and be was
more deeply read in the lore of Chesterfield
than in that of Homer and Virgil. In fact, he
was a shallow brained, lily beaded top and as
may be supposed, a great favorite with a cer
tain class of ladies who mistake impertinence
for wit, ami fine clothes ami affected manners
for refinement and solid accomplishments.
But to our tale. Tom was one day walking
down the street arm in arm with his friend,
John Smith, who had a piece of the wag about
him. Seeing the President a few paces before
them, Tom hastily enquired—
“Smith, what is good morning, sir, in Lat
in ?”
“Ego st m sTt i.Tts,” was the reply, without
a moment's hesitation.
Meeting the President, Toni after the most
approved donkeyisin, greeted him with—
“ Ego si m Sti i.tvs !”
“ I am aware of it,” respondent the Presi
dent. making a slight bow.
This proving rather unsatisfactory, Tom pos
ted off to the room of his friend By les whom
he saluted with —
“ Deacon, what is the translation of this sen
tence —‘ Ego si m STt i.Tt s.’ ”
“I am a Foor.!” responded the unsophisti
cated “Deacon.”
This told the whole story. As novel wri
ters say, Tom’s feelings may be more easily
1 imagined than described.
Whether the students bored him about it or
' not, and whether the professor's daughters
; ever heard it or not, “deponent sayeth not, "
j but history reeordeth that-the next flat bot
tomed boat that went down the Ohio bore
■ Tom as a Passcnger.
The Obtvti Jidub.—A certain California
•Judge was noted for his obtuseness in all eaaes
' where there was a laugh to come in. On one
occasion the district Attorney desired to have a
i ease continued iu which one Sarah Money
I was a witness, and she was absent—he re
, marked;
“ Your honor. I cannot try this case without
Sarah Money” (ceremony;) there was some
! laughing, but his honor couldn't see the point!
A few days after as he was riding borne
’ alone, the revelation of the fun of the Attor
ney’s remark flashed suddenly on his mind—
; he laughed immoderatelv. and continued laugh-
■ ing verv loudly as he rode up to his own door.—
His wife, attracted by the unusual phonome
nun of the Judge’s merriment, came out and
enquired:
“ Whv, mv dear, what arc vou laughing
T” ’ ' .
“ I nm laughing nt one of the District Attor
ney’s joke.” nnd straightway the Judge cot
lapsed again in n convulsive fit of laughter.
Well, what was the joke?" . ai<l the wife.
"Why," replie i Ur Judge, " the Attorney
*ahi. when I urged him to proceed with the tri
al of a case, 'Sir, I cannot try it without Marv
M ney !”
" But.” said the wife, “ I don’t see the poiut 1
of tlmt joke." '
"Nor I neither, just now.” tael the Judge,
i musingly, “but I did a few iniuutee ago!’’

SPECIAL NOTICE.
We ask particular attention to Our schemes drawn
on the Havana Plan only on the Ist and 15th of every
month and ask a comparison with any other Lottery
inexistence. The plan iw so simple that every one
can understand it and it has fewer numbers thun any
other lx>ttery, und therefore, the chances to draw
Prizes are belter. For instance: There is in our
Lottery onlv 80,000 Numbers, and all others on the
same plan range from 40,000 to 50,0U0 Numbers.—
Those Lotteries on the combination plan never have
less than 75,000 Nnm tiers and Prizes are subject to a
deduction of 15 per cent., while iu our Lottery there
is uo deduction on Prizes.
Plan of the Lottery and manner of Drawing.
Slips •!' Paper of exactly the same size and printed
with numbers from I to 30,000 which correspond
with those on the Tickets are inserted in Tin Tubes
and deposited in the Number Wheel. Similar aiips
on which are printed the amounts of the different
Prizes are also inserted in Tin Tubes and de
posited in the Prize Wheel. When the drawing
takes place, (which is always in public,) the Num
ber W’keel is revolved and a number drawn from it;
at the Same time the Prize Wheel (containing the
Prizes from K’O to $30,000) is also revolved ami a
Prize drawn from it. The Numbers are recorded
and the Prize drawn wiffc each Number is credited to
that Number. This operation is continued until the
Prizes are all drawn out, after which the Numbers
drawn and the Prizes are called over by the Commis
sioners, ami are certified to by them, and a copy <>t
the drawing is sent to each person holding one or
more Tickets. The f.ono Prizes of sls mentioned in
the Scheme, arc determined by the last figure of the
Number that draws the Capital Prize. For instance,
say th* Capital Prizeis drawn to number 8G5,a1l those
Whole Tickets ending with live are entitled to sls.
Halves and Quarters iu proportion. It will thus be
readily perceived that one Ticket can draw two
Prizes —say 13,805 draws $6,000 it is also entitled to
sls, because it ends with the same number a* does
the Capital Prize. One Ticket in every Ten Whole
Tickets where the Numbers end consecutively with
1,2, 8. 4,5, G, 7,8, 9,0, is obliged to draw sls besides
the chance to draw one of the Capitals.
A'e are thus particular to demonstrate to those
who desire to try their luck. that our Lotteries are
better channels of investment than any other Lottery
and far better than Cotton speculation. Purehnsors
can have Tickets ending with any Number they may
select. If for instance, you select ten whole Tickets
ending with 7 you pay’ SSO for them—should the
Capital, Prize cud with 7, you arc entitled to sl'o
besides the chances of drawing one of the Capitals.
BOGUS LOTTERIES. -A* there are many Bogus
Lotteries in existence in the United States, and as
■nanv of our Patron- are unacquainted with us, we
would respectfully refer them to the following parties
for our respec’abilitv and n jionsibilitv.

STOMACH OR T.T3TETI,
u? UCH as Indigestion, Acidity of the Stomach, Col
icky Pains, Heartburn, Lo»> of Appetite, Despon
dency, Costiveness, Blind and Bleeding Piles. Id all
Nervous, Rheumatic, and Neuralgic Affections, it
has in numerous instances proved highly bcueticial,
and in others affected a decided cure.
This is a purely beneficial compound, prepared on
strictly scientific principles, after the manner of the
Celebrated Holhinu Professor, Boei have. Because of
its great success in most of the European States, its
introduction into the United State* was intended
more especially for those of our fatherland scattered
here and there over the face of Ibis mighty country.
Meeting with great success among them, I now otter
it to the American publics, knowing that its truly won
dorful mcdicinc.l virtue* must be acknowledged.
It is particuia . ly recommended to those persons
whose constitutions may have been impaired by the
continuous use of ardent spirit* or other forms of dis
sipation. Generally instantaneous in effect, it finds
its way directly to the seat of life, thrilling aud’quiek
cuing every nerve, raising up the drooping spirit,
and, in fact, infusing new health and vigor to the
system.
Notick.—Whoever expects to find this a beverage
will be disappointed ; but to the sick, weak and low
spirited, it will prove a grateful aromatic cordial, pos
sessed of singular remedial properties.
C It’TlON:
The great popularity us this deliirhiful Aroma has
induced many imitations, which the public shouly
guard against purchasing. Be not persuaded to bud
anything else until you have given Boe:have’s Hoi
land Bitters a fair trial. One buttle will convince
you how infinitely superior it is to all these imita
tions.
