TO It was upon a Friday night, When Hub and I first met, o4nd should I live an hundred years, That night I’ll not forget. 1 fixed up in my Sunday best, Aud thought 1 looked quite wiuning, Rut every time 1 looked at Hub, lie kept up such a grinning. lie talked about the cotton crops, And I about the weather. And as the hours passed slowly by, W'e both sat there together. I told him all about myself, And of tile sights Pd seen; But when I saw him slightly smile, 1 know he thought me green. 1 told him ot the mountain high, And of the crooked rivet; To stand Upon the “Lookout Point,” Would make a person shiver. I told him, too, of “Taylor’s Ilidge,” And a tunnel through a hill; Said I, “It’s just ns dark as pitch, Go in there when you.will." I told him I was scared to death, When I got to the city; Hub raised his eyes and said, “0, my ! Indeed, it wa9 such a pity.” I told him how it frightened me To ride upon the car, And when I got to the hotel How all the folks did stare. “I saw the Governor, too,’’ said I, “In all his power aud might; ’Twas Mr. Bullock, I believe, And sure he is a sight.” W'hen I had told Hub all I knew, ’Twas time for ms to part; But when he undertook to go,- I found lie lud my heart, ne went away, bat come again. And said be liked me better, Aud asked me when I came down home, To write him back a letter. I told him no, I couldn’t write, And he asked my reason why. And when I said, “l don’t know how,” Hub sadly said good -bye. PRISCILLA. [Fiom the llnivcrsalist Herald. ‘-Giai-n lo Hospitality.” It is laid down in holy Writ, ns one of the things required of us ns Chris tians, and citizens rs the world, that we be “given to hospitality.” To il lustrate this point, I will relate a cir cumstance which oecured some years ago in regard to two men; the one liv ing in South Carolina, and tho other in Virginia. The Virginian w.is trav eling in South Carolina, on a cold rainy day in winter, and being unwell, he commenced at 3 o'clock in the af ternoon to week a shelter; but he sought in vain, until night came on, when he called at a fine, large man sion, where tie was determined to stay ;f possible, but all his persuasions and entreaties availed nothing. The proud aristocrat, who owned the premises, turned a deaf ear to all his pleadings, and told him in a haughty manner that he should not remain on his promises, and drove him out of his house, insult ingly. Mounting his horse, ho pur sued his way amid Die darkness and rain, until 11 o’clock bolbre he could tmd entertainment. Two years after wards this same South Carolinian, who so unfeelingly turned off his fellow man from his door, was travelling in Vir ginia with his wife and two daughters, when it po happened, that his carriage which contained his family, broke down. While deploring his condition, not knowing what to do, a gentleman rode up on horseback and observing his situation, and at the same time rec ognizing him as the gentleman who had once treated him so unkindly, con eluded that now was the time to venged on him. Accordingly, he told him that he would ride back to his house and send his carriage after his family, that they should be hospitably entertained until the carriage could be repaired, which was done. For two or three days, the Carolinian was thus detained, during which time every act of kindness was lavished upon them, and cakes were cooked up for them to take with them, when they should leave. At last, they got ready to de part, the Carolinian asked for his bill. The Virginian replied that he had no charge to make. The Carolinian in sisted, until the Virginian replied, that if he must make a charge, ho would charge him never again tc turn away a weary traveler from his door, and es peeially in the night, and in the rain. The Carolinians remembered the cir cumstance, and said with much morti fication, that ho never would. The story needs no comment. Ii should be a lesson to every one who reads it, not to be neglectful of the ties of hum&ni . S. J. McMoeius. ty. The heat in the East Indies during tho presont summer is said to bo very excessive. Apoplexy and cholera have been very fatal bothto the Eaglish res* idents and the natives and many villa £cs have been entirely depopulated. For the Dawson “Journal." H T. ELUOW. A TRUE STORY’. 11Y W. HKNOKRSON CI.ACKKTOM. CHATTER 11. j ‘’Sister,” observed Mr. (lornuoopicos, “I propose to refer the subject of our yesterday’s discussion to the arbitrament of C.d Clay .—What say yon, old gon tlcmau, (lapping Mr. Clay on the sboul der,) to acting the part assigned you V “I will most e’joerfully consent, broth er; for 1 know Mr. Clay is compelled to decide that Romance was cultivated and carried to a high degree of perfection, long before tho dawn of tho middle ages.” “And 1 know he will decide that, with the exception of those miserable Milo sian tales*atid a brief story in theiOyro pedia of Xenophon, there is positively no scmblaucc of Romance up to tho time of Miguel Cervantes. Go to the seven teenth century, aud tell me if the Ar rniuius ol Lobcnstc’n and the Asiatiscbn llanizc cf Zeiglcr do not exhibit on themselves the water marks of a branch of literature, which has yet, far to rise '! Arc not the productions of Madm’ile Scu den, of Btark, Richardson, and La Fon taine, and Wagner, Jean I’aul, Schle gel, Tick, and Ilippel,—are they not all stamped with indie».'ions of a want of maturity and development iu the great ak— science ?” “11a, ha, ha. Why, brother, it was only this forenoon that <1 heard you dwelling, with rapture, on the Le Brut of Waite and his Roman do Rose, which, [ am sure, were writteu prior la the year Jn’2o. Beside \ P.Uat your tion may come from yiiur owii lips) oniat did you tell tne some weeks ago aboirjf' those elegant and graoeful fictions, Ar gents, Bothos and Tolemachus ?” “I told you nothing 1 have reason to retrace The first two are legendary fables like the history of Hercules or Theseus, and the latter three ate polit ical dissertations. That they are all tinged with delicate touches of Romance, [ will not deny, in (hem, as in many other productions of the same period, faint morning beams of liun-inco, pone (rating the and -use copses of Fable, Biog raphy and Politics, denoted the dawn of a day whose suti was yet to rise. Those glimpses of Romance in tlie story of Ca ilypso, Eift-haris acil Anti ope whet tie sword of my argument.” “YYhy, Romance, not in the dawn, but in the richness of perfection, abounds in the poetry and iu the prrsc of early Grecian and Roman literature. Ro mance is but feeble with the col ring of imagination in its present acceptation. Y’oU need not go to the Troubatours to find it; it exis'ei in the fertile niinds of Homer, Euripides and Sappha. Then and now, it is blended with history, pol itics, and indeed every branch of scicnc<\ The Mythology of the ancients is but truth so mingled with Romance, that the one cannot be separated from the other. But, brother, do you forget D’Urfc wrote Astree before the time if which you speak, and Gombervillo nnd Calprcncde made heroes and heroines out of the eawo materials which are uow used ?” “Well, well, this question is to be de cided by our friend, the Col. Come, sir, give us the light of your judgement.” At this moment, I dreamed that (my attention being thus attracted to the vis itors) l saw Mr. Webster so overcome with shame and eonfusion at his own want of learning and information that he had his open hands close up before bis eyes, and was peeping bashfully between this fingers at the young prodigius ; and Mr. Calhoun had bit off the corners of three pocket handkerchiefs, in his em barrassment, and was beginning to nib ble at the stalactites on the tablc-oloth. Clay, always imperturbably, bent on them the caim and calculating glance of his eagle eye and replied : “I am wholly incompetent to decide your question. My time, children, (they both frowned) has been devoted to those kinds of efforts and departments of knowledge, which, in my judgement, would must successfully serve my race, and I have found life much too short to complete these duties. It may be that some of your authors are better than those I have read. Does your Tick and Hippcl, buddy, (Oornucopicos looked daggers) teach you that little folia should be seen and not heard in the com. pany of grown people ? do they furnish the philosopher’s stone by which you are enabled to turn each little sandgrain in the hour-glass to gold l Do they leaan you that life is reality, not fiction and romance, and do they help to qualify you for its great duties ? My littlo datlings, (oh ! how they scowled !) I have found more knowledge that I could get in its purity without | any mixture of the wonderful and mi— j raculous thau I have had leisure to ob 'lain. 1 have found my fellow-creatures the victims of misery, blinded, benighted, and mad with the phreray of evil pas sions and false ambitious—‘pou pen sions on the bounty of an hour.’ It has been the earnest desire of niv hoart, aud the labor of my life to better their con dition. The political, social and relig ious information, necessary to aid me in the discharge of this duty and to guide tuy own wavering steps in the way of rectitude, have absorbed all the mo ments of a long life which could be de voted to readiug. To what extent fa ble, folly fiction, and romance, blended with more substantial literature at va rious stages of the world's history, I have but an accidental and limited kuow'edge. I have found those matters only when I was searching for others and, passing by them, I continued uiy search.” “Mr. Clay, you surprise me,” said Tl libiliba. “Do you find nothing in Lan celot du Lae, Sangri al and Merlin to exalt and ennoble human nature, to ele vate the aspirations of the mind, direct the wayward impulses of tho heart and impart to struggling, weary mortals fresh courage for the warfare of life 7 Why, sir, fictions nre tho green spots and cool springs in the desert of exi;- tence.” “Ah !’’ ej ictulated Mr. Clay. ‘ Sister is right, sir, and you arc un worthy the reputation you enjoy, or you could not be induced to treat her obser vation with sueh unblushing irony.” At the conclusion t f this remark, he arose indignantly to leave. Mr. Clay, who bad been speaking to Miss lllibili ka anil tmd not const qucntlv heard the thought Mr. Coroucopicos had riscrftd get in hit) lap, and so he caught him, put him on his knee, commenced the foot-patting, baby ride, and contin ued to talk, wholly unconscious of the squirmiugs of that young gentleman. “About those green spots and cool springs, falsely so called, ton many halt and loiter life away.” “Lot rac go," said Mr, Cornuoopioos, but the groat Kentuckian heard him not. “Fictions are more properly tho opium of the mind. They elevate our feelings abovo the standard nrture lias adopted, aod imparl a happiness that feeds and lives on un real aud unreasoning dreams.” “Brute! Ruffian ! Unclasp your demoniac clutch, cs, or condign and summary punishment awaits you.” “I.istead id exalting and ennobling human nature, thjy only ex alt our opinions of human character to such an extent as must result in a grie vous disappointment.” “Demon ! Ghoul ! Unhinge theso bauds or die,” and the tough hide of the orator stood proof against the nails of tho young St. Elbow. “The lives and actions of the great and good, who have ehed lustre upon the history of your own and other countries, will be quite as suecissful id ‘elevating the aspirations of yeitr mind and directing the impulses of your heart, as anything you might find on those fool i&h stories about the Round Table.’’ You Ized ! You Ainsliaspand ! You Ercbian Miuion of Ahrimau 1 Lbsenthiall me or—” Just at this moment, Mr. Olay, feel ing a flea in his sock, lot go the prison er, (not dreaming that he did him a fi vor,) drew a candle to the edge of the ta bio, raised his foot as high as possible, pulled down his sock, and looked care fully for the tricky iusect. Miss lllibi iika, with amiable and sweet-tempered scorufulness, had turued her back full upon the great ex Senator. Messrs. WVbster and Calhoun, having bumped heads while engaged in the dip-nuddiug business, were now wide awake. They had drawn courage from tho example of Clay, and were iu conversation with the host and hostess. Thus tabloauxed, let the curtain of this chapter fall and bile them, and do not get impatient, reader, to know why tboy all remained so loDg around the table, or why I keep the love matters (those sweetening in the cup of my dream) so long untasted.

Michael Cragan has led n very romantic life. He is an Irishman i and was well educated. He was or. i darned and assigned to a small parish . near Dublin, lie was not long there before ho took a notion to shift bis quarters to America. After throe years a favorable opportunity present ed itself, and hither he came. Reaching our shores he ber.t his footsteps in the direction ol Omaha, and tficro lie became the shepherd of :i largo fleck, lie continued in this ca pacity lor over two years, and would probably have remained longer had not an uuforseun misfortune overtaken him. The Pacific railroad was then push ing its iron bands across tho continent, and tho city of Omaha had become the lieadijuuiters of many bard and loose characters. These, the clergyman aK leges, seduced him into drinking. This pernicious habit crept upon liirn by degrees, and at last he was no better than a worthless drunkard. Asa nect essary consequence, he was expelled by the Bishop of his diocease. Thrown upon his own resources, he came eastward and settled in Newark, where for a time his behavior was faultless. Ills only associates were tho priests of that city, nnd they assert that there was nothing objectionable in lis conduct. Hut hero again, at length, he took to tho bottle. Finding himself w ithout lands, ho went around among poor people, and beggod their hard earnings under various shallow pretexts. In this way ho amassed it nice little sum Ilis career was cut short, however, and ho was apprehend, ed and lodged ir. jail. Ho was tried anil sentenced to six months incarcera tion iu tho Penitentiary. Through the intercession of forgiving priests, ho was released sifter lie had served thirty days. He was none tho better for his bitter experience. lie camo over lo Now York and took a loom in the Eastarn Hotel in Whitehall stroet. Hero he began again to practice his old frauds for gin. Ho went around from houso to house soliciting contributions for anew church edifice, and in Ibis way ob tained $(50(). Among bis victims aro Congressman Fox, Police Justice Ho-, gan, Alderman Moore, Coroner Flynn and Deputy Coroner Shyne. Early yesterday morning the rever end gentleman having donnod his best suit, walked down Washington street in quest of more victims. 110 bad not proceeded far when he was met face to face by Deputy Coro ner Hhyne, whom ho hud fleeced the day previous This gentleman in tho interval had heard of tna clergyman’s antecedents, and had also been in formed that ho had been seen entering one of the stibterrauoun brothels on Greenwich street in a stato of intoxica, tion.
