they might drag me into tlie barn, and make a wizzard o* me, whether I would or no; nay, and I do assure you, I saw an imp, in (he very exact form of a rat, that came out ot the barn, and ran tow’rd me, as fierce as thof it wur re solute to seize upon me; but,as Heaven would have it, I started, and cried, “God bless me!’ and it va fished. Well; and so I wur standing there, with my eye fixed npo i the bam door, for I durst no’ venture to turn my head tne leaSt in the world to the right hand or to the left, all at once there wur a dead cold hand clapt to my cheek, and som ‘.thing at the same lime gave me such a whang on the back, that down I fell, and I teally thought there wur an end o’ me.— But, howevhr, for once it seems I wur more frightened than hurt, as’ I found afterwards, when Dick Walter, or Dick Dare-Devil, as he is called in out parish, gave me his hand, and helped me up. lou may be sure, I wur not a little pleased ; so I told him the whole story of the Black Cat a :d the clattering, and the devil’s imp running at me to make a wizzird o’ me, and all; and so he pretended to laugh at me, and not to believe me, and not to put no faith in such things; but that, as you ma'.’ suppose, was all pretence, for I am certain very body knows there is such things; because, why, does not the bible tell us so? But Dick had a mind to seem fas'neous, and fear nothing; tho’, to be sure,- Dick is as bold as a lion, and as strong as a horse, and there is not a man in Lancashire dare to face him fairly; but then, to be sure, he is deadly wicked and profane, and I have heard him challenge Old Nick, if he durst appear. And so 1 was pleased to find Dick, that I would take him down tn II d’s at the bottom of the hill, & gi’ hitn a mug of beer. So away we went; and when we came there, we found YYil Tiplor, the drunken shoemaker, along wi’ Farmer Upton’s tall 7’om, who is six foot seven inches and a half without his shoes; and so Dick would be a pint to my pint; and AV ill lie wur another; and Tnin wur another, and so on, till we made it very late; and so you must know, my road home fioni Hal’s lay over the stile and gate, where the Shrieking W oman commonly sits; but, you inusi know, by this time I had got a drop in my head, and then, somehow or another, when one’s in com pany with Dick, one never fears nothing ; and he is such a good nn(tired fellow too, when no body puts upon him, for he won’t suffer no man to sash and affront any man that he is in com pany wi’; so, as I tell you, I had to go over the Shrieking Woman’s stile, so as I did no’ half like it, but wur got pot-valient, and would no’ ask Dick to go wi’ me, for I knew he’d game and laugh at me. So away I sot.; and so, us 1 told you, a deadly windy night it wui ; so, as sure as can be, when I had got a bit from the house, l began to feel a forethought, and to be partly sura that I should see her, and the farther I went the more I wur certain; aid so I began heartily to wish I had got Dick or-some one to come wi’ me : but that was all over ; so away I went wi’ my heart in my mouth, as I may say, and I wish I may he hanged if my hair did not stand an end every now and then wi’ thinking crn’t. Well; so as I tell you, I kept going my gait a thisen till I caine almost wi’ my nose upon the stile; but I should have told you, it wur most mortngious dark, for tho noon wur gone down, and the night wur as black as pitch. 1 believe in my heart the heavens never sent out or saw a more murky welkin : the sky wur like a bag of soot. So, as I tell you, I had got wi’ my very nose almast upon the stile, when all of a sudden I saw her rise from behind the hedge, as it were, and place herself upon the stile. Lord! how my knees knocked together! At first I hid not the power tr move hand or limb ; and I do think I stood for some minutes, with no more life in mo than an oyster; and then, when 1 came a little to mvself, my teeth chattered, and I dithered as thof I had been in an ague: so what to do I did na know, for if I turned back she would walk before me. So l bethought me it w„r best to put my trust in my maker, and to say tho Lord’s prayer, and so go a bit lower down along the hedge where there wur a gate. Well, will you believe me, as sure as I sit on this stool, when I caine to the gate, there wur she again. ‘ The Lord of heaven’s goodness dellVer me,’ tho’t I, ‘what will become o’ m l’ And so, do you kn >w, all the sins that ever I had committed began to come into my head. I bet'oou .ht me o’ the five apples I had stolen when I we; t to school with old Dame Trott o’ Prescot; and of the bastard I had by half-witted Mall o’ the Hill, before 1 wur four and twenty; & o’ the robin-redbreast 1 had shot instead of a crow; and the silver groat that I found the first year I was made clerk o’ this parish, which I wickedly sp nt at the fair instead of giving notice on’t at the church door, as 1 ought to [have done; and moreover, of having the very Sunday before talien asleep in sarmunt time, and what wur worser, when his reverence the vicar, wur in the pulpit, and not the curate ; which his rever ence afterwards told me, in the vestry, wur breaking the commandments and an abomina tion to the Lord. So, as I tell you, I began to pray to the gracious providence for marry, for deliverance and forgiveness of my sins; for, to he sure, as I have told you, a wicked sinner I had been; so, while I wur here, in this most dismal and terrible astoundification, some how UK another, I found she wur vanished and dis appeared. and wur gone ; so I then fell upon my knees, and thanked the grace of heavenly good ness, and the Lord of Hosts, and the Almighty Maker of heaven and earth, and the God of Is rael, for all his manifold murciful loving kind ness to me, a poor wicked and unworthy sin ner; and so l begun to put my trust in him ; and so, seeing as I did not see her any longer, I ventured by little and little tow’rd the gate ; an I so at last I laid my hand upo dt, and then one foot, and then t’other; and so at last l got o’ tho other side o’ the hedge, and so 1 wur fain to walk by tho hedge side for fear o’ losing my self, it wur so mortagious dark, as I tell you; and so, as I wur walking along, 1 thought I heard a whispering o’ t’other side o’ the hedge ; and I am not a Christian soul in tho land o’ the living, if it wur not as like tho whispering of men’s voices as my right hand is to my left; and so my hair began to bristle as bad almost as before, ana I stopi; and so, when l stopt, the whispering vanished: but J hoard aniorta giou- ru ming. and a scampering, and a clatter ing o’ feet, o’ t’other side o’ tho hedge, which I could compare to nothing but a parcel of devils running a race towards the stile; and, for a! 1 we know well enough that spirits’ bodies are not bodies, I’m sure the) made as great a elat ing as thof rhey had had legs and feet of flesh and blood. Well; so I wur now, as I thought, o’ the right side o’ the hedge, so I kept mv gait till I came to the stile; and seeing as I saw nothing of her there, I began to have some hopes that she wur gone for good and all; so set forward again tow’ l home, and begun to be think me that I ha I got something to talk about as long as I lived; but will you believe me? I had not gone half the field’s length, till [ saw her again walking right before mo! ‘The Lord of heavenly blessings defend me!’ thought I; ‘what will become o’ me!’ I stopt, and she stopt I took heart and made two or throe steps —-and so did she. Never since I wur a sinner wur lin such a quandary before ! What could I do ? If a man is so fearful as to (urn back, I had always been told, she is so mischievous she will twine his neck round, mayhap, or b'ight him i’ the eyes, or somewhat like, as sho struck Goody Hazel a box o’ the ear, and she has been deaf o’ that side ever sin. So, as I said, what could I do? Why, I prayed to the Lord, and thought I would keep on my gait as she was that distance before me. I should have told you, tho’, she wur all in white, or else, as you may think. I could no a’ seen her; there wur no! a sheet in Lancashire whiter than she; and at first she did na seem so high ns mv breast, arid she walked as thof she were partly lame, or crouching on the hams ; and so I had na followed her far, before she began to get higher and higher !—and higher and higher ! and higher and higher !—till at last, Lord Al mighty bless me ! she wur taller tli in any tree in Eccl L ston parish, or the next to it, lam pos itive !—Marcv’s goodness be upon me, wh it a condition I wur in! Well; and so, w >uld you believe it? when she wur at the tallest, she turn ed about, and gave such a stride tow’ds me ! end a skreek; a id, as I suppose, vanished; for I dropped down as dead as this trencher ; and Inere, as heaven’s marcy would have it. wur found by Dick Walters and Tall Tom; and so they, seeing me so Lightened, (for I did na stir out of my bed for a week) wanted to persuade me that it wur nowt but a trick o’ theirs to scare me; but, however, I wur na such a fool as to believe’m, as you may well think, after what I had seen and heard.’ John Audley ended; and his looks, while relating, were sufficient to convince the hearer what his sensations must have been while his wicked companions were playing him the trick he had just recounted. Mr. Errant had been much among the simple inhabitants of villages, and knew how impossible it is to cure those who have once contracted the disease of cre dulity : he knew too, therp is in every district a Dick Dare-devil, who diverts himself at the ex pense of those whose faculties or bodies are not so robust as his own. —n ——————amm _ mra sm-Da A haughty general who had riscu from ob scurity to the rank which he enjoyed, one day reviewing his troops, took notice of a man in the ranks, who was excessively dirty. Going up to him, he said, “How dare yon, you rascal, appear on parade with that dirty shirt ? It is as bln. kas ink ! Did you ever sec me so nas ty, and with such a dirty shirt, when I was a private man ?” “No, your honor, to be sure I never did,” answered the man, “but then your ho air will please to recollect, that your honor's mother was a washerwoman .” Fair play. —Mr. Curran who was a very small mao, having a dispute with a brother connsellor, who was aver stout one, in which words ran high on both sides, called him out. The oilier however, objected. ‘For’, said he ‘you are so little, that I might fire at you a doz en times without hitting ; whereas the chance is that you would shoot me at the first fire. ‘Upon my co'science, that’s true ! cried Cur ran, ‘But to convince you that I don’t wish to take any advantage, you may chalk mv size upon your body, and hits out of the ring shall go for nothing.’ A pert young lady was walking one morning on the Steyne, at Brighton, when sho encoun tered the celebrati and Wilkes: “You see (observ ed the lady) I am coining out (or a little stw and air ” “You had belter, Madam, get a lit tle husband first.” A countryman in one of the western slates, with a load af meal, drove up to a lady’s door, when the fol owing conversation took place : Do you want to buy any meal ma’am ?’ “What do you ask tne for a bushel ?”—“Te cents, ma’am, prime P*—“O I can get it for a sip.” (In a despairing voice) Dear Lady will you take a bushel for nothing ?” ‘ls it sifted.’ Harry Erskine, of facetious memory, was retained for a female named Tickle, against whom an acti m had boon brought. On the tri al he commenced his address to the couri thus . —‘Tickle my client, the defendant my Lord The audience amused with the oddity of th speech, were almost driven into hysteria by the Judge replying, “Tickle her yaurseb Harry, you are as well able to do it as I.” A beggar ivoina i, repulsed from door to door, as she solicited quarters through a village of Annandale, asked in her despair, if there were no Christians in tho place. To which the hearers, concluding that she i qmred for some persons so suinamed, answered. “Na, nn, there are na • Christians here—we are a’ Johnstones and Jaidinus.” English Characteristics. — \ Fienchninn in his recent published ‘Tour through England,’ remarks that,‘Punch in all its shapes is a great favorite with the English ; Punch is his favor ite liquor—Punch his favorite entertainment— and a punch on the head his favorite argument.’ A ludicrous circumstance occurred in our market a few days ago. Two fellows wishing to have poultry upon cheaper terms than our market people can afford, notwithstanding a Turkey has been offered for 25 cents and four chickens in the bargain, agreed to st al what they could not purchase. One was providen with trowsers wide enough at the seat to con : ccal the plunder and a ’iv duck was being ihe first thing they laid hands on, had it conveyed into the receptacle. The duck unused to such lodgings became vociferous for her liberty ; and the rouge, apprehensive of discov ry fro n the noise she made, attempted to slink off. He had not walked far howeier, whe his clam orous in note found means to inrusi h er heq .J through a hole in the front, crying quack, quack, caught the atte ition of the by standers, who readily assisted her to obtain her liberty and to find her wav to her companions ; to the great mortification as well as disappointment of the wide breeched dealer in quackery Bosto i paper. Some read to think, these arc rare; some to write, these are common; aid some read to talk, and these form the great majority. The first page of an author not unfrequentlv suffices all the purposes of this latter class, of whom it has been said, they treat books as some do lords; they inform themselves of their titles, and then boast of an i timate acquaintance. A certain Hibernian lady had a custom of saying to a favoiite little dog, to make hint fol low her, ‘coma along sir.’ A would be witty gentleman stepped up to h r one dav, and ac eosted her with. ‘ls it me, madam you called V ‘Oh no, sir,’ said sho with great composure, ‘it j was another puppy I spoke to.’ Three reaw.s for Not Lending. — “Holloa, Bill, lend us your penknife !’* “I can’t —I haven’t otany! Besides 1 want to use it myself!” Beautiful Ballad. Oh! lady, buy these budding ftow’rs, For I am sad, and wet and weary: 1 gather’d them ere break of day, When all was lonely, still anti dreary; And long I’ve sought to sell them here, To purchase clothes anil dwelling, For Valor’s wretched orphan girls— Poor me and my young sister Ellen, Ah! those who tread life's thornless way, In fortune’s golden sunshine basking, May deem my wants require no aid, Because my lips are mute, unasking; They have no heart for woes like mine; Each word, each look, is cold—repelling, Ycl once a crowd of flatt’rois fawn’d, And fortune smil’d on me and Ellen! O! buy my flow’rs, they’re fair and fresh . As mine and morning's hr..a* otd.d i:cop them; Tomorrow’s sun shall see them dead, And I shall scarcely live to weep them; I’et this sweet hud if nurs'd with care, Soon into fullness would be swelling, And nurtured by some generous hand. So might mv little sister Ellen. She’s sleeping in a hollow tree, Her only home—its leaves her bejiims; And I've no food to carry there, To soothe the tears she Will he shedding. C! that thos’- mourner’s tears which fall, That bell which heavily is knelling, And that deep grave wore meant foe me, And my poor little sister Ellen! When we in silence are laid down, In life’s last fearless, nlessed sleeping, No tears will fall upon our grave, Save those of pitying Heaven’s own weeping. Unknown we’ve liv’d, unknown must die, No tongue the mournful tale be telling, Os two young broken hearted girls— Poor Mary and her sister Ellen. No one has bought of me to-day, And night is now the town o’ershading, Ami I like these poor drooping Bowers, Unnoticed and unwept am fading; My soul is struggling to be free. It loathes its wretched earthly dwelling! My limbs refuse to hear their load. Oh God! protect lone orphan Ellen, MISS POLLY GRIMES. Mias Polly Grimes is slid a mail!, She says she ne’er will wed— Her week day (rock’s blue calico, ller Sunday one is red. She never lets her beau make free, Nor iisten to her vows. When she gets up she makes the bed; At < veiling milks the c ws. She’s always up at six o’clock, In time to skim and milk — Her bonnet’s made of yellow straw, And neatly trimmed with silk. Her mind is of a serious turn — She often thinks of death; She docs not lace her stays so tight, They make her gape for breath. Beloved by all her female friends, She leads an easy life; And any man in town would jump, To get her for his wife.
