Now Peggy had seen thirty years, Ami ne‘n a l)au lud she; 3n finding herself in arrears, She kept B II s company. They wete a walking out one day, When Peggy said to him, If you do my young heart betray, I shall feel dreadful slim. Then William swore, 1 will be true To you while l do live; And if I marry one but you, My nose I II freely give. A f w days after, William saw A young maid all so tine; And Ins heart b gan to thaw, M s lov“ for Peugy to decline. There is no need to tell you how Bill gain'd the maiden** love; But “lighting Peggy's heart, 1 trow, He married Molly Dove. Then P> ggy -he took sick and died, ( hniugh loss of piomised bliss, And in her I (test breath she cried, I'll lix Bdl Flint for tins.

And after wards some people say, They saw a ft > tfac*d ghost, Wnir.h as it wended units way, Sigh> and out ‘My nose Pve lost!* A ou young men all tak** warnig now By this true tale Pve told on; And when you've plighted once your vow, Ph.ok of Rdl Flint and hold on. MISChLI A NEGUS. THE HAPPY MA TCH, ‘Now,* said Henry Hemphill to his wife \\h“n they went to house keep ing, ‘i's my business to bring money inf the house— him! yours to see that iimie goes foolishly out of it.* This was the agreement-with which they set forward in the world. He chose her, first, because he loved her, and in the second place, because he knew she was sensible, economical, and in* dustrious—just the reasons which in fluence a sensible man in his choice now. And he thought it best that each should have a distinct sphere of action. Their interests were one and indivisible; consequently each had the same motives to act well the allotted part. His business called for his wit tie attention; he wished, therefore, to pursue it undistracted by other cares; f r himself he looked for happi ness only at home; there he expected a supply for all his wants, and lie was of course not disposed to spend any thing- abroad, in pursuit of what he thought every reasonable man ought to look for in the bosom of his own family. Her duties being all domestic, she was able to compass them the better by turning her whole attention to them. Her husband's business doing habits, his temperate and correct life, had all the power ol example; increasing her esteem, and doubling her anxiety to deserve his. They had married wilhout waiting to get rich. They neither distrusted providence nor rat h other. With lit-! tie besides health and a disposition to improve it, they nevertheless had that strong confidence in final success ‘hicli prudent resolutions inspire in those wild feet that they have perst 4 - verance enough to adhere to them. Thus they began (he world, j To attach a man to his home, it is necessary that home should have, at | tractions. Henry Hemphill’s had. j There lie sought repose after the toil land weariness of the day, and there he found it. When perplexed, ant! j low-spirited, he retired thither, and i amid the soothing influence of its i quiet and peaceful shades, he forgot j I lie heartlessriess of the world, and ail the wrongs of men. When things j went ill with him, he found always a solace in the sunshine of affection, that in the domestic circle beamed upon him, and dispelled every cloud from his brow. However others treat ed him—there, all was kindness, and confidence, and affection; if others de ceived him, and hypocricy, with its shameless face, smiled on him to de lude and injure him, there ail was sin cerity; that sincerity of the heart which makes amends for suffering, and wins the troubled spirit from mis anthropy. Nothing so directly tends to make a good wife, a good house keeper, a good domestic economist, as that kindness, on the part of the husband which speaks the language of appro bation, and that careful and well di rected industry which thrives and gives strong promise that her care and prudence will have a profitable issue. And Mary Hemphill had this token and this assurance. Henry devoted himself to business with steady purpose and untiring zeal; he obtained credit by his plain and honest dealing; custom by his faithful punctuality and constant care; triends by his obliging deportment and commanding disposition.— He gained the reputation of being the best workman in the village; none were ever deceived who trusted in his word.—He always drove his bu siness a little beforehand, for he said, •things go badly when the rart gets before the horse**—l noticed a little incident which illustrated his charac ter; a thrifty old farmer was accosted in the road at the end of the village by a youngster who was making a great dash in business, and who want ed to borrow a few hundred dollars The witty old man was perfectly ig norant of where it could be bad and sidled off from him as soon as he could. He rode directly dow r n to Hemphill's and told him he had a few hundred dollars to loan, and wish* ed lie would take it; the payments should be easy—just as would suit. Indeed, replied Henry, you have come to a bad market; I have a little cash to spare myself, and have been look ing round these two weeks for a good opportunity of putting it out. While Henry was prospering in his business, all went like clock work at home; the family expenditures were careful ly made; not a farthing was wasted: not a scrap lost; the furniture was all neat and useful, rather than ornamen tal: the table, plain and frugal, but wholesome, and well spread; little went either to the seamstress or the tailor; no extravagance in dress; no tostly company keeping; no useless waste of time in careless visiting; and yet the whole neighborhood prais ed Mary Hemphill, and loved her; she was kind without dissipation. And while few people lived morecom lortably, none lived more economical ly- The results of such management can never disappoint the expectation to which it looks. Even the angry now nos misfortune is almost put at defiance. A vantage ground is soon gained, which the storm seldom reach es. And the full reward comes iu its proper time to crown the meed of life thus spent. I lie music of Henry‘s tools was in lull play on the morning that 1 left the village for „ disUi'it residence. It was not yet sunrise. And as the 1 coach bore me rapidly past the cool and quiet residence of the villager, I e,\v the door was open, and break fast smoking on toe tabic. Mary in’ Iter neat morning dress anti white a-; pron, blooming in health anti l-iveli-l ness, was busy about her liooseli >hl! affairs; anti a stranger, who chanced j to be my fellow passenger to the. city,] observed it, and said ‘there's a thriv ing family; my word for it.* And lie spoke well. There are certain signs always perceptible about those wiio are working things right, that cannot be mistaken by the most casual ob server. On my return to Alcsbury, many years afterwards, I noticed a beauti ful country residence on the banks of the river, surrounded by all the cl-** gance of wealth and taste. Richly cultivated fields stretched themselves out on every side, as far ss the eye could reach, flocks and herds were scattered in every direction. It was a splendid scene—the sun was just setting behind the western hills—and while a group of neatly dressed chil dren sported on the adjacent school house green, the mellow notes of the flute mingled with their noisy mirth —‘There,* said an old friend, ‘lives Henry Hemphill; that is his farm— those are his cattle, and here is his school house, and these his own and some orphan children of his adoption, which he educates at his own expense---having made a noble fortune by his industry ami prudence, he spends his large income in deeds of charity; and he and Mary mutual ly give each other the credit of do ing all this.* STATE UIMTI e"m AR KETS.
