A GOOD YARN.
In the village of W lived a
man who had once been a Judge of
th; county, and well known all over’it
by the name of Judge L—. lie kept
n store and saw-mill, and Ivns always
sure to have the best of the bargain on
h:s side, by which he hud gained mi
ample fortune, and some din not hesi
tate to cull him the biggest rascal in
the world He was very conceited
withal, and used to brag of his bu*i
ness capacity when any one wus near
to lis en. One rainy day, as quite u
number were seated around the stove,
he began as usual to tell of bis great
bargains, and at last wound up vti.h
the express on
‘‘Nobody has ever cheated me, and
they can’t neither.”
j “Judge,” said an old man of the
company, ‘ I’ve cheated you more than
'you ever did me.”
“flow so ?” said the Judge.
“If you will promise you won’t go lo
law about it, nor do any thing I’ll tell
you or else I won't; you’re too much
ol a law character for me.”
“Let’s bear?’’ cried a half and zen
voices ut once.
“I’ll promise, said the Judge, “and
treat in the bargain it you have.”
“Well do you remember that wagon
you robbed me of?”
“I never robbed yu of any wag"n ;
I only got the best of the b rgain,’* the
Judge said.
“We'l, T made up my mind to have
it back, and—”
“You never did,” interrupted the
cute Jud e.
‘Yes, I did, and interest too,” said
the man
“How so ?” thundered the now en
raged Judge.
“Well, you see, Judge, T sold you
one day a very nice pine tog, and bar
gained with you for a lot more. Well,
that log I stole off your pi's down by
the mill the night before, and the rext
day 1 sold it to you. Tin* nt xt night
T drew it home, and sold it to you the
next dav and so t kept on un il you
had bought your own log of ine twen
ty seven times I”
“That’s a lie!” exclaimed the infu
ria'ed Judge running 'n his book shd
examining his log account ; “yon nev
er sr.'d me twenty s ven logs of the
same me sure.”
‘T know if,” said the vender in logs;
‘■by drawing back and forth, the end
wore off and as it wore T kept cutting
the end off, until it was ten feet long
pist fourt-en feet shorter than i’ was
the firs' time T brought it—and when
|t g t so short T drew it home and
x-orked it up into .shingles, and the
next week vou loirght the shingle*,
and T c'nc’u ’ed I had got the worth
of my wagon—and stowed away in my
pocket book.”
The exclamation of the Judge was
drowned in the shouts ot 'he bystand
ers and the h>a drawer fund the door
with the promised treat
Love and Small Pox —The San
Francisco correspondent of the Sau Jose
Mercury writes the following :
When I tell you that thiee or four
thousand persons w re v accinat.ed in this
city last wc k.you will readilyunderstand
that a yellow fl'g waving in the Lrcize
will create a degree of consternation and
excitement tbat will at least rid that
immediate neighborhood of all tbo n isc
and disturbance of hawkers, passing
foot tramps and frrquent visitors.—
Well, a certain popular, but very ex
ccntric young lady, who had a string cf
beaux, conceived the romantic idea of
nf testing tbo sincerity of her devoted
admirers, who professed so exist only
on her smiles, and oltco avowed a wil
lingness to die for her. She availed
herself of the temporary absence cf her
parents in the country, took a servant
into confidence, procured a yellow flag
nailed it to the gate, and await the
; breaking oilt” of the ttews I' broke,
and the tidings spread like wildfire, the
neighbors urged each other to report
the ease to tte health officer, and ins st
tha' she be taken to the pest house. Two
r three “devotees’’ sought tie vicioity
to make assurance doubly sure, aiid On
spying the signal retreated hastily, de
nying themselves even the light, diet of
a smile. Toe family physician was
questioned, but badu’tbeen summoned,
and at last an officer boldly ventured to
investigate the casx, and learning the
ruse, primptly removed the fl‘g, hut
not until the fiot was established that
she was abandoned to her faie, what
ever it might be, by the swarms of sum
mer friends who lived in her smiles,
and in the prospects of her father’s bank
account.

A R<*niurkMl*le Woman.
A SKETCH FROM HEAL LIFE.
In a low, tumbled down building in
the old Faubourg St. Mmy, reeking
with perpetual damps, and with the
mould of nearly a century on its roof,
lives an old woman whose career is otto
of the most remarkable in the his ory
of New Orleans. Once I rilliant and
beautiful, she yet retains traces, though
dimmed und fading, of that exquisite
lovel ness which made her the belle
land leader of lashion in nor native ci tv
An only child, b< rn to imm ns' wealth
and e ducated in every accomplishment
which the most learned European
seminary could supply, at eighteen
she shone upon the world of fashion
heie, without a rival. Courted and
flittered, with innumerable suitors
she discarded the advances of men,
and appeared only anxious to enjoy
the society in which she moved so
conspicuous and brt liunt an orna
merit. 15ut it was not destined for her
to remain so. It is said that a > woman
can exist without loving, and she
proved no exception to the genera! ty
of her sex. Her attachment was, how
ever, unworthily bestowed and lamint
able in its results. Passionate and
jealous, she unfortunately f'our.d in her
husband too much cause for tluir in
i' .o' ce. Negle. led, hei love turn and
■ rut e—scorned, her resentment was
ii!ij cable. In a m inept ol fiercely
stimulated passion, she abandoned her
home and friends, and shortly after
wurd appeared at a foreign court m
that most disrepu able of all characters
a 1 male adventuress.
Hut if her calling was clisgrjceful
her carreer was distinguished, r-be be
came the ruling spirit t’ at guided and
controlled the actions of monarchy.—
At her nod brilliant meteois faded
from the galaxy of fashion, and armies
swept over hostile borders. Bit a rev
olution arose in the hind, and she le
onine the inmate of a prison Esoip
ing thence by the leniency of those
w ho dashed the Bourbon diaries from
power, she next appeared as t e min
is.n of an Inoi n Elijah. Her name is
'yet abhorred by the matron* of Eng—
| lish India, and It tleehildr n are taught
|to scorn the impious treason of
her example, lint as her years grew
on apace, her beauty watted, and then
came loss of power. Spurned by the
virtuous and bated by the court, a
wanderer o' many years, she came
back to her native land iler friends
were dead—the memory if her ear y
triumphs had p.ssed aw y She stood
a solitary wr ok in the ciiy of her birth
amid-t ttie ruins of her file- N ne
knew her—none would. Scorned hy
the good aud feared by the had, she
bus led a hermit’s life. Some imes old
cronies will conic and gos ip with her,
at othi rs jouin w ill pause to wonder
at the wreck that time has wrought
But recollections stiil stirs her heart,
and irom '.bo shadowy aisles of memo

darken on her face
How a Peck of Corn Meal is Tax
ed — Tho Gallipolis Dispatch,in answer
to the charge that became a uianiD poor
he cannot be taxed, thus shows how even
a peck of meal, purchased by a poor
man to aid in feeding his family of little
children, is taxed, lo aid in faying the
interest on the untaxed bonds.
Says the Dispatch ;
“The corn from which that peck of
mealwas ma le was raised on taxed land,
I plowed by a taxel plow, drawn by taxrd,
horses, hitched by taxed gcais. It was
hoed wi'h a taxed hoe, cultivated with
taxed implements, gathered with a tax
ed wagon, drawn with taxed horses,
ihrown iutoa taxed orib, shelled on a tax
edmachine,measured in a taxed moasure
aken in a taxed sack and ground on a tax
ed mili.-ieved with a taxed sieve, mixed
io a taxed pan,stirred with a taxed spooß.
salted with taxed salt, put into a taxed
bake pan, baked in a taxed s'ove, laid
out on taxed plates, out with a taxed
knife, and lastly eaten by a pretty heav
ily tased man.”
“If jt were not for the taxes you Could
buy a barbel of tnoal for what that peck
oost you Besides it is not on that alone
that you are tax-d, but upon everything
you h ve to buy. A pound of sugar
costs ouly 3 or 4 cents, but you have to
| pnj from 16 to 20. A pound of coffee
only costs 10 cents but you have to pay
30, and if it «oit you three hundred dol
| a rs a year to support your family, you
1 may safely say one half of this is lax.
Now, is it any wonder that times is

Tie Alexandria Gazette gives a few
rules fur the avoidance cf ague. First,

Sleep with the window of the bedcham

rules well observed will keep off chills.
Thote who cannot observo them can

Keep l'unr Word.
When 70U promise to do anything, be
sure lo keep your word, as well for the
sake of tbe truth as in justice to other.-).
This very niteresting story is told of a
biy who was singularly faithful to his
word :
He had borrow and a tool from a neigh
bor, promising to return it at night. Be
fore evaning he was sent away on an
errand, and did not roturn until late.
Before ho went f e was told that his
brother sh uld see the tool returned.
After he bad come homo and gone to
bed, he i iquired and found tbo tool had
net been seut to .ts owner. He wtis
much distressed to think bis promise
was not kept, but. was pursuaded to go
to sleep and rise early at.d carry it h roe
By daylight be was up and nowhere
was the tool to be round. After a1 mg
ani fruitless search, ho 6ct iff for his

snpprise to find tbe tool 00 h s neigh
bor’s doorstep ! Aud then it appeared
from the prints of little bare feet, on tho
mud, that the lad had got up in his
sleep and carried the tool home, and
went to bed again and knew rt not. Os

sleep was prompt when awake. He lived

The Way to btop Riots.— A week
or so ago a negro wus murdered at. La
grange, a few miles from He’ena, Atk in

was retorted tbry were Ktl Klnx A
Kov. Air. White, Representative in the

prcaoh next day at Lagrange, and it
would be a good time for thorn to go

murdered negro. On Monday oDe bun
dred aud fifty m two hundred negroes,
armed, and mounted, started for La
grange, aud it was given out that Li>
grange and Matiaua wero both to beds
stroyrd and vengeance taken on the
white ciiiz.'ns. Great excitement wa»
produced at Helena among the Conser
vatives, who went to the leading liidi
cals and insisted tbat they should inter
sere and prevent bloodshed—but they
had no intention of in'e feeing, and
seemed gratified at the prosp-ot of a de
tided ri'it, which wuuhi sle w the people
of the North what tbo llidicil* had to
suffer South.
The prominent citizens then vry
q'liotly'informcd the leading R.dioals
that if the nu’ruge should be c imrcittcd
the bodies of the prominent Radicals in
lltler.a should be held as hostages and
treated accordingly. This had the de
sired i flbet, and Wygert, editor of the
Radical newspaper, and others, accom

arrived in Lagrsnge after Wcite bad
preiohcd and before any act of violence
bad been c immittcd and tho mob was
quietly (iisp< rsed. The citizens of La

them ahi mdy reception. That is the

Vicksburg Herald-

Today a wealth of leaves shades us
—to nu rrovv, sere and tailed, they
crutilde beneath our tread.
'io-diy the earth is covered with a
carpet of jrecn—to morrow it is brown
with the withered grass.
To-day the vigorous stalk only trends
belote the gale—o-morrow, leafless
and sapless, a chili may break lire
briitle stone
To day the rpening fruit and wnV
ing grain—to morrow “the land is ta
k.ng its Sabbath utter the toil.”
io-day we hear sweet songs ets of
meadows and forest, the buzz aud hum
of myriad insects ; to-morrow—breathe
sultly—all nature is hushed and si
lent.
To-day a stately edifice complete in
finish and sui rouuiings, attrac s the
passer by— a heap of ruins
mark tbe site.
To-day there are cattle Upon a thou
sand hills—to-moilow they fail in
s aughU-r.
T tie fashion of the world passeth
away Hut let Christ dwell within
us, und though we may pass away like
the faded leaf and the raphes stalk,
we shall “aitse to new no. sos life.”
Where everlasting spting abides,
Aud never wither.ng flowers.
