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.

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 ry C 1 uies smiles aud teais to beam or 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.

BLo has all three in a high degree, but it is not by these she touches the heart—it is all tbat sweetness of temper, beue'u lettee, iunocenec and scusibtlity which a face can express, that forms her beauty.

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.

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 panied the C mseivati’ e sheriff, and ihev arrived in Lagrsnge after Wcite bad preiohcd and before any act of violence bad been c immittcd and tho mob was quietly (iisp< rsed.
