L, Sawyer, for tho fol lowing anecdote: llovv tlie Devil got the Prirat. An old Catholic, who was blessed with a goodly cumber of ohildron, some of them being grown, made an appoint ment tbut on a certain day, he would have prepared a feast at his house Among other things to bedono previous to the feast, was his potatoes that ho had stored away in his cellcr must bo cov ered with hay, as the weather was get tiog 0001. His sons hauled until they thought they had coough, which they announced to their father. The old man propnsod that they had better bring another load and roll it in st the collar door, to be put on as occasion might re quire. Wbilothey were gone for it, the old man’s large, black sheep, that had a tremendous pair of horns, made his way along, picking up the loo j e straw, until ho came to the cellar door, and smelling the sweet-seonted bay, he walked down and helped himself.— When the boys came, they rolled off their load and closed tho door, with tho sheep in the cellar without their knowl edge. The morning came, and the guests began to come in, and kept coming for S'ino time. Tho old man standing out in the front way all the time, with a pleasant smile upon Lis face, meeting his guests and giving them a hearty, welcome shake of the hand, ushered them in to a good, warm fire. When the old man thought all had come that were going to, and had got warm by a good fire, he requested one of his sous to bring up some cider, which he had also stored in Lis cellar. Ilis son obey ing with p’easure, soon bad a lant rn lighted, and gathering a pitcher, was making Lis way down stairs. Just as he got in the cellar and sit bis pitcher down, he heard a rambling in h; h:.y behind him, and looking around, he dis covered the sheep backed up in the farthcrist corner of the cellar, with Li* eyes considerably blared and his horns looking frightfully large. It struck him in a nuuient that it was tho evil spiiit in perscD, so snatching up Lis pi'cher, be got out of the cellar as quick as he possibly could, and told his father that the devil was down there. The old man •hooted at him, and told him he was only oootcd], a rill taking the pifcEici nu»l ’ai tern from him, he made his way down stairs slowly and cautiously. When ho got down he held his lantern a little above Lis Lead, and took a sutvey with bis eye of the apartment, and to Lis horror, sure enough, he discovered the old Allow backed up iu the comer, as represented by his s n. Tho old man, not waiting to make any other cb.-erva tions, made Lis way up as fast as possi ble. Taking Lis Bible up, he cun menced trying to read, but lie trembled so that he ct uld not distinguish the let ters apart. lie imagined the candles burnt blue, which were sitting around for the purposo of burning incense.— Everything growing worse, he order and his son to take tbe beet horse he Lad and go for ihe Priest, who lived in a town not far distant, ll s son, as ever, prompt to obey, was soon on bis way to the Priest’s. On Lis arrival, be fc dd the Priest his business, and requesttd that he would go as soon as p ssible The old Priest had his doubts about it, but could see from tho young man’s countenance, that there must be some thing unusual. He also knew that (lie old catholic would not send for him in such haste on ordinary occasions, so he fixed up as quick as he could and start ed off with the young man pretty hasti ly. On arriving at the old man’s house, he found things looking rather gloomy. Ho alighted au(J walked in, the old man meeting him with his eyes swimming in tears of joy, commerced rela ing .what seemed to him to he a fact. After ho had concluded, the old Priest, well aware it would not do for him to back out, for tho fake of the Church, cemmenc and adjusting his regalia used od ail religious occasions, lie put on his loDg robe first, then wraping his broad, red belt twice around him, tied it in a graceful knot on his side, and tho ends with large tossles to them, hung down. Thus prepared, he took the Bible<tu cue hand and the lantern in the other, and dceccnded slowly a id cautiously into tho cellar. When he rfcacbed the foot of the stairs, he looked at the back eDd of the cellar, and sure j enough, there he wa«, backed up in tbc j same corner. The old Friost sit down j bis lantern and laid down his Bible, thin got down'on bis knees on tho Bible and raised both hands above his head in a sedemn of prayer. The sheep taking his po.-i ion to be somewhat do final, concluded 10 reseat it, so making a rush forward, and would perhaps have knocked the oil Priest over, if it bad not been that the brilliancy of the lan tern daxxled his eves so that he. missed his central aim, but as it was, ho merely glanced the Priest, and when ho raised his head, one of bis crooked horns slipped under tho belt of the Priest, and as soon as ho found that he was fast, ho •turned to run hack to his corner, the Priest screaming back to tho crowd as he wont, who were bending over tho stairway, “take care of yourselves breth ren, the devil's got me.” THE DROVER’S STORY. [We find the following in ono of our Agricultural Exchanges without any thing to indioate its author or source. It will do all of our readers good to read it.] My name is Anthony Hunt. I am a drover, and I livo miles and miles away upon the western prario There wasn’t a home within sight when we moved there, my wife and I, and now we haven’t many neighbors, though those we have are good ones. One day about ten years ago, I went away from home to sell some fiftj’ head j of caltle—fine creatn r es as ever I saw. j I was to buy some groceries and dry goods before I came back, and above all, a doll for our youngest Dolly She had never had a store doll of her own, only the rag babies her mother had made her. Dolly could talk of nothing o’so, and went down to the very gate to call af ter me to “buy a big ono ” Nobody but a parent could understand hnw full my mind was of that toy, and how, when tho cattle were fold, the first thing I hurried on to buy Dolly’s doll. I found a large one, with eyes that would open and shut when you pulled a wire, and had it, wrapped in paper and tucked it under my nrm while I hud the parcels of calico and delaine and tea and sugar put up Then, late us it was, I started home. It might Rave been more prudent to stay till morning, but I felt anxious to get back, and eager to hear Dolly’s prattle about her toy. I was mounted on a steady goingold horse ol mine, and pretty well loaded. Night set in before I was a mile away from town, and settled down dark as pitch while I was in the middle of the worst road I know of. I could have felt my way, though, I remembered it so welt, an,l it was almost that when the storm that had been brewing broke, and peltid the rain in torrents, fivo miles or, may be, six, from home yet, too. I rode as fast as I could, but all of a sndd n I heard a little cry like a child’s voire I I stopped short and listened—l heard it again, 1 called ami it answered me. I touldu’t soe a thing ; all was dark as pitch. I got down and felt about the gjass—called again and again was answered Then I began to wonder Pm not timid, but I was known to be a drover and to have money about me. It might be a trap to catch me una*art,s and rob and murder me. I’m not suporstitiouo—not very— But how could a teal child be out on the ; ramie in such a night, and at such an hour. It might be more than hu man. Tho bit of a coward that hides itsell in most men showed itself to me then, and I was half inclined to run away, but once mote i hoard that cry and said l: • ‘“lf any man’s child is hereabouts, Anthony Hunt is not the man to let it die.” I sear hed again, At last I be thought mo of a hollow the hill, and grouping that way, sure enough, I found a little diipjing thing that moaned and sobbed as I took it in my arms I called my horse, and the beast came to mo, and I mounted, and tucked the little soaked thing under my coat as well a# 1 could, promising to carry it horn to mammy. It seemed tired to death, apd pretty soon cried itse f to sleep against my bosom It bud s'ept there over an hour when I saw my own windows There were lights in them, and I supposed my wife had lit them for my sake, but when I got into tho door yard I saw something was ilia natter, and stood still wit l , a dead fear at heart, five min utes before I could lift the latch. At last I did it, and Raw tny room full of neighbors, and my wife amidst them weeping. When she saw mo she hid her lace ‘ Oh, don’t tell hinf/’ she said, “it will kill him,” “What is it, neighbors, n I cried. And one said, “Nothing now, I hope what’s that in jour arms?’’ “A poor lost child,” said I . ‘1 found it on the road. Take it, will you, I’ve turned faint,” and I lifted up the sleeping thing and saw the face of my own child, my little Doliy. It was my darling, and none other, that I hud picked up on tho drenched road. My little child had wandered out to meet “daddy” ar.d tli 3 doll, win e her mother was at work, an I whom they were lamenting as one dead. I thanked heaven on my knees before them all It is not mui h of a story, neighbors, but l think of it often in the nights, and wonder how I could bear to live now i if I had uoi stopped when I heard the 1 cry for help upon the road, tho little baby cry, hardly louder than a squir rel’s chirp. That's Do’fy yonder with her moth er in the meadow, a girl worth saving, —1 think (but then, I'm her father, and partial, may be)— tho prettiest and sweetest thing this side of the Missis si, pi. When is a young lady likcv a part of a word ? When sho is a silly bolle, I (ayllab'e) YOU. IY.--NO. 14. Be Door Before You are Rich. j Explain to me, if you can, Mr. Bon ner, why it is that so many young peo ple are ashamed to have it thought that they are ashamed of economy in tbe management of slender means, and frugality in living ?’ There is no disgrace in being aa I acorn beforo being an oak. Young peo ple frequently wish that they wor© : grown men, but they aro not ashamed ‘of being young. No ono is ashamed to have it discovered that his i knowledge and skill aro proprotioned to his yoars. But these same persons will i blush and suffer shame, at being sup— posed not to have any money, under circumstances in which all the sensible world known that they ought to have inone! I A youDg fellow has been put to s hool by the rigorous economy of his father and mother. Ouly by tho very | hardest industry and closest economy I can they sustain him in college. Every single shilling is important, and like shingles on the roof, the absence of one makes the whole house inoonvenient. And yet this lad shall be ashamed not bear his part in social expenses. He is utterly unable to say, “I cannot afford it.” It is the Larder to say it, l must confess, because, in a community of several hundred young men, two-thirds of whom aro poor aDd tho children of poor men, there is a lurking shame of poverty, which radiates into public sen timent and r«fi cts a kind of disrepute unon those who bodily say, “I must deny myself, beyond the barest nece b> ties of life, of whatever costs money.”— Poverty has enough trouble without the addition of fool sh and dishonorable sen timents. Who expects young men tohave mon ey to spare ? Does not the whole world know they aro but just starting life— that as yet they have earn and nothing, and that they inherit no fortune—that they receive but a small stipend—and that, if they be honest, they must prac tice a rigorous economy ! Why, then, do young men engage iu pleasure boats which drain their pockets dry, and lay them under temptations to dishonesty for fear people wiil think they have no money ? Os course fo’ks think so! And just as much if you are iuveighed into uu wiso giving, as if refused ! A poor young mm ought to be boor uutil he has broken tho r pell of poverty by industri ous enterpriv ; and ho should rather gloty in it than be ashamed of it. I; is necessary that ycu should bo frugal; it is neoessary that you should bo honest; it is not nece sary to attempt to wtlk in circles of socic'y that will swal low up the pitiful penn es of.poverty I ks a qti oksand, and leave onlv irre— sistable temptations to dishonesty. It is a good reason for not join ng a club, and excursion, or riding party and still more an extravagant ball, that “you cannot hor.ostly raise the money. Who ought to hold up his head the highest, the young man who quietly says, “I cannot yet indulga in suob expense,” or the fellow who is not ashtinud to s‘eal the money on which he makes a false appearance, I heir a gool deal of Yankee mean ness—of tho spirit of trade and dicker— of the stinginc sand parsinr<ny of Nortf er.i men. Bat, while tho manner of showi :g economy is a thousand times nobler than the free-handed iquandering of money which gives a spuriousreputa tion for generosity, to people who are on the read to bankruptcy, who have long spent money not thi ir own with a special gracefulness! [ Henry Ward Beecher. A Roaumee in Colorado. A letter from Denver says ; *A verv pretty romance, in which a woman is not mixed up, has ju-<t happened in the mines. It runs thus ; A soldier who had served through the war, soon after his discharge came West to seek I is for tune. He drifted into the mines, an I got hold of some claims which were dis covered to bo very rich. His captain, who had boon very kind to him in the service, lived far to'he E ist, and finding him self in wa: t of a partner, the young sol dier determined to write to tfee captain, who was p or and ask him to come out and share with him his good fortune. He did so. Tho cap’ain come, and the ex-private rmuo over t». him, as a gift, one-third interest in a!! his mining claims. The oaptaio was a shrewd man —the new firm prospered, and presently the generous young mluer sent for au old friend who had been with him as a private in the same company, and mado over to his comrade another third of his mines. The company prospered amaz- ingly, and gr w rich. A* lew weeks ago the captian and tho third member of the firm, longing to re join their families ands efieg that they were ricn enough, proposed to sell out. They did so for 8100,000 each, and tho rich ex-private was the principal buyer. The other day the trio were seen walk ing a’ong the street artn in arm, appar ently conten'o 1 with the afri.rs of this w ri ll They are well throe on their way Emt, the head of the firm going to visit the ex-partacrs, whom he has made so rich. After a 6bort stay in tho East, tho rich yeuug soldier will return West and coutiuue his mining operations. In or der to properly complete the story, tho ho; and of ts e firm, while East, ought to fall in love with tho sister of tno of his partners, marry her, and b.ing her West as bis bride. | Labor Lost. —An rrgnn grinder playing at the door u! a deaf asylum.
