Intemly she gazed on the brilliant array, : Which iurlined nut her heart to its gaudy display ; But touched it with pity, which turned into pain, For those w ho found pleasure, in joys so vaiu. Is this then she murmured, the way of the cross! ; No! no! it is earthly, ‘tis notliiiig but dress; Then those wbowbuld grasp it,will find to their grief, That in moments of sorrow, ’tw ill bring no relief.

WHEN THAT NOTE WAS D9S- ~ A man in Boston (of course) was sorely persecuted by an avaricious business acquain tance, to pacify whom lie was oblige# to e-settlti-;”-and wishing to pay over a few ‘hundred in cash, ho drew up a note ob ligating himself to discharge the account af ter a spi cified date of time. The creditor, who was noted for his “ sticking principle,” was not, in justice, roally entitled to the money; but when thirty days after date expired, ho anxiously presented tlio note for payment.— The debtor instead of meeting it replied : “ The note is not yet duo, sir.” “ lint it is, though. It reads ‘ thirty days after date, 1 promise to pu\, so and so, and thirty-one days have elapsed since the date -theranf-H-and so”— “ l don’t care if thirty-one years have elapsed since the date of the note, I shall contend for its immaturity,” answered the debtor, interrupting the not very good hu mored note-holder, who soon made his exit, slamming the street door after him, muttering incoherently about law, judgment,executions, Ac. - Jii a few days,..hotli parties were before a magistrate, who, on concluding the investiga tion,proclaimed tiiat he must certainly award “ judgment” against the debtor for the full amount of the note, and the cost of the pros ecution besides. “ And what then I” inquired the defend ant of the judge. “ I.sliall issue an * execution,’ if the plain tiff desires,” returned his honor. ”To bo sure—l want one immediately,” bawled the plaintiff, whose countenance re vealed his determination to allow no mercy, as he urged his way as near the judge as pos sible. “ V oiraro resolved upon judgment and ex ecution ?” demanded the defendant. “ I am.” replied the judge, taking up his pen to record the same. “To be sure We are,” coincided the plain tiff, with a chuckle. “ 1 presume your honor can spell correct ly ?” said the defendant, as he picked up his hat and sent it further upou the table before him. insoLuti” exclaimed the judge,choking with sago.. “ Will you oblige me by carefully spelling and reading the first liae in f hat valuable .document,” urged the defendant, disregard ing the anger of the magistrate, and direct ing Ins attention to the note that lay before him. * The judge looked at the note and >he.ii at the defomlant, hut probably thinking it was best to take it coolly, proceeded to do as requested, and read aloud, In a very lucjL Myhi: _ .. . \ “ 1 hirty days afterdate I prom ” “Stop!” shouted the defendant, “you don’t read it right.” “I ilo,” was the judge’s response. “ You don't!” returned the defendant; “ I thought von couldn’t spell.” 1 lie judge was now boiling over with rage, 4.!!'* smate. the desk before him so violently with his clenched hand as to cause those whq stood about him,including the expectant plamtllF, to retreat a few paces in double jjnick time. “ Keep your temper, judge, or we shall he obliged to have the case transferred to an other court,where the magistrate understands the art and mystery of spelling words of one syllable, and clon’U make a fool of himself bv kieking up a row and smashing office finni -tre.‘ There, you may keep your seat, and tell, those .present what the first line of fh?*. oote says,” said felle defendant, with a cool ness that surprised the audience aud puzzled the judge. * Having again glanced at ‘tire document, and appearing to detect something that had, until that moment, escaped his perception, the judge proceeded to read ; “ Thirty days after death I promise to ..pay;—” ‘’ “Right!” rxclaiuieibthe defendant; “you mn spell, 1 see.” , “ i hie Dote is not due, gentlemen, until thirty days after the defendants death,” pro claimed the magistrate; “the case is accor dingly dismissed, and tlm court adjourned until to morrow morning.” “ What!” exclaimed the plaintiff, “am I thus fooled !

THE WAY TO COLLECT A KZA ~ Old STire Tobin was a slow walker, but slower pay. Blessed With abundant means, lie was of course considered ultimately good sor 1 any little debt ho contracted but he had contracted a habit of holding on to his money, until forced by extra importunity to fork over. ~ “ There goes the old Squire,” said Brown, the merchant; “I’ve had a bill ot five dol lars and fifty cents against him for eighteen months, and if 1 have asked him once for it I have done so twenty times; but ho has either not got it witbYfiin, or he will call to morrow, or if not in a good humor, ho- will swear like a trooper; at iny i npudenco in (Inning him at unseasonable times.” Now there was one Joe H. irkins, a wag-1 gish ssrt of fellow, whq, heard the complaint of merchant Brown, and resolved upon some fun. ~b “Come now Brown,” said Joe, “ what will you bet I can’t get the Jmoney from the old Squire before lie gets homo I” “ Anew hat,” said Brown. Euough 9aid,” said Joe. While Brown was limiting the bill, Joe disguised himself in a striped blanket and slouched hat. Thus equipped, with the bill in his hand lie took after the Squirm “Hollo, is*,your name Squire Tobin ?” “ Y es,” answered the Squire with a snarl, “ what is that to you ?” “I have a little bill sir—collecting for mer chant. Brown, sir. ’ “ Me re I mnt Brown can go to thunder, sir,” said the Squire, “ I’ve no money for him ; you must call again.” Joe bowed politely, slipped down the alley just in time to head tlio old Squire at the next corner. “ Ob, sir,” said .Toe, stopping sudeningly, “ is your name Tobin /” “ Tobin, sir, is my name.” v “ Here is a little bill, sir, Brown.” “Zoun fs ! sir,” replied Sfpiiro. “ Didn't I meet you just round the Rnriior ?” Y*Moiitme ?”replicd/yoe, “guess it was B , another of Iji'own’s collectors.” “'riiea-I-suppose merchant Brown lias two red striped collectors dogging my steps; 1 wont pay it, sir, to-day—begone!” The old Squire as he saidthis, brought down his stick has upon the pavement and toddled on. Joe, nothing daunted, took advantage of another alle'y, and by a rapid movement, in a few minutes placed himself once more iu trout of of the Squire. The old man’s bile was making him mutter and growl as he walked along and—now and then giving point anger, by very empatic knocks of his cano on the sidewalk. When within about twenty feet of eacli other, the old Squire espied bis friend once snore in front. Squire Tobin stopped—-and raising bis cane, ex claimed; i “You infernal insolent puppy, what'do von mean ?” Jac. affecting great astonishment, checked up within a safe distance, and replied:- ‘’ Mean sir / you surprise mb sir, ; I “denT* know you sir,” * *" r “Ain’t yon merchant brown’s collector, that dunned me five minutes ago V’ “Me, sir?” repiiod--Joe, “I am one of merchant Brown’s collpctors, to be sure; but I don’t know you, sir.” “My name is Tobin, sir,” rejoined thciiri tated Squire, “and yott look like the fellow that stopped ine twice before.” “ Imposible ! sir,” replied Joe, “it must have been some other of mercliaut Brown’s collectors.

Ho accordingly made another circuit, and catnc in collision with the angry old man, ere he was noticed. “Zounds! zounds! stranger,” vociferated tlio Squire. “ What —Here he caught sight of the red striped blanket,as Joe disengaging himself from the old man, took tV his heels.
