TIIE OLD MAN, THE YOUNG MAN, AND
THE BOY.
Near the mouth of a large river in
ti e west of England is a ferry about a
mile across.
The old man arrived at the ferry
house one bleak day in the month of
October, and knocked loudly for the
ferryman. He wished to be conveyed
over as quick as possible.
This old man was a great landed
proprietor, in the neighborhood. By
all lie was feared or baled—by none
loved or respected. He had no family
to look with a kindly eye on his doings
-//e was a bachelor; wifeless, childless,
friendless. A e, whilst it had whiten
ed his hair and wrinkled his face,always
stern and forbidding, bad but increased
the selfishness and cruelty of his ever
vicious mind. Woe to the poacher
caught sinning—woe to the tenant in
arrear—woe to respectability-shocking
vagrants —woe to all over whom he
poss ssed power! He was a magis
trate, and. in his hands, the law gain
ed nothing in loveliness.
To this landed aristocrat, on his
summons, appeared the ferryman.
He was a young man. From his
earliest years he had lived in that ferry
house where his father had lived before
him. It was a lonely part of tiie coun
try, and passengers were not very nu
merous. Tiie boat was often idly
moored, and this lime the young ferry
man employed in reading of the world
wbcb be bad never seen—of nobles,
mobs, millionaires, paupers-—of manu
facturing towns, where men are the
•creatures and slaves oft Stearn—of
London, where vice and virtue, wealth
and poverty, knowledge and ignorance,
happiness and misery, are mixed up in
one preposterous and morbid mass.—
All this he road of and much thought
of, and having nobody to undeceive
him, lie came to very strange conclu
sions concerning the state ol the world,
and the existing notions of right and
wrong. Jn particular he acquired a
habit of considering the tendency of
every action to add to, or lake away
from, the sum ofhuman happiness, and
this he judged rigidly, apart from all
other considerations whatever. . As he
believed the tendency of the action, so
he approved, or disapproved, of the
actor, Me was poor as a philosopher
should be, and had a pretty loving
young wife, as a philosopher should
have. Thus was his life.
Just as the ferryman and his passen
gers were about to embark, a little boy
ran up in great haste, for he was in
danger of being too late. Mis desire
also was to be conveyed over.
The boy was the son of a farmer
near at hand. Me had a ruddy care
less countenance, and frank fearless
manners. Med itation had not yet
troubled him. He was very happy
himself, and, for aught he new, every
body else was happy too. He had
heard of poor people starving for hun
ger. and rich people dinmg off gold;
but he had never seen either, and rath
er doubted it. He had been told of
wicked men. who, if they escaped in
this wot !c. were sure to be punished in
another; lull they had never hurt him.
He had a dim idea that illness was
something painful; but he had been ill
onlv once, and, that long ago. He
liked books and story-books most of
all. y/is own private philosophy was
that the blessings of life arc fruit, bon
fires, and cricket; and the evils, hard
dumplings, rainy days, and words in
five syllables.
The rich proprietor and the farmer’s
son now stepped into the boat, the boat
man set the sails, and they stood over
to the opposite shore. The wind was
blowing reshly, and the water dashed
merrily from the prow.
And, now these three are travelling,
let me tell what object has brought
each into the ferry boat.
The boy, the farmers son, is going
to spend a week at the house of a play
fellow. "He anticipates much delight
3aaa«——BBaawa—
from tne visit. There is a large smooth
field, the very thing for wicket or trap
hail, or anything of that sort—and a
‘ real painted target for bows and ar
- rows—and Dash to go out with them
s walking. So if the week does not
s pass pleasantly it will be rather strange.
The old man, the lauded proprietor,
e I is going to dun a tenant who owes
him three quarters’ rent. The last
-- harvest was very bad, and the farmer
was laid up with the fever, and the cat
" tie died, and altogether matters went
e very crossly—which is the reason why
- j the tenant owes three quarters’ rent.
R j //is landlord intends now to apply to
1 I him in person, and if this last resource
j failed, to serve him with an ejectment
1 j at once.
The young man the ferryman, is
I merely going to the opposite shore and
hack again. He will demand sixpence
from each passenger, and will hasten
home to his wife Kate, who is now
broiling a beefsteak for dinner.
> The boat dashed on. The rich pro
prietor sat wrapped in thought, with
out speaking; the boatman was watch
ing the sads, rudder in hand; the hoy
was dipping his hand into the water. I
I wetting the sleeve of his jacket, laugh- I
mg and talking to (he boatman. They (
had nearly reached the shore.
Suddenly there came a blast of wind, |
so violent and so unexpected, that be- |
I fore the sheet could possibly he let go, I
the sail was over-strained, and in an
instant the little boat was capsized.—
I’assengers and boatman were thrown
into the water and left to struggle for
OO
their lives.
The ferryman had been accustomed
to the river from infancy, and was an
expert swimmer. He floated at his
ease; the proprietor and the young
farmer sank like stones.
This man was then a judge of life j
and death. His two passengers had j
been thrown into opposite directions, |
far from each other, and they had |
struggled even farther. He feared i
that he could save hut one—and which
should it he?
Calmly and fairly he tested these
two human beings by his creed. The i
one more deserving of existence was
he whose actions added more to, or to
look less from, tiie sum ofhuman hap
piness: all other considerations must
he set aside, and this alone must be the
1 claim to preference. The deliberation
j and the decision were the work of an
instant—he swam towards the boy.
He seized him as he rose for the
, third time to the surface, and, by keep
ing his bond under the water for a few i
moments, rendered him senseless, so !
that he might not drown them both by i
his struggles. Then ho contrived, by !
great strength and dexterity, to right j
the small, light boat, and on this he
placed the hoy. The unhappy, tyran- |
nica! landlord had disappeared forever.
He perished, the greatest of the
three. Had ho then been good, instead
. of great, or not have had a philosopher
for a boatman, he might have been
saved; but ho was sacrificed by a com
bination of circumstances.
So after all, the boy went to see his
play-fellow; and the voting man went
home to his wife Kate; but the old
man did not eject his tenant, and his
body was rolled by the river down in
to the sea.
MORAL.
Youth, newly upon earth, and ex
quisitely susceptible to impressions
either for good or evil, is a thing to
hope in; hut age, eaten into and cor
rupted by the world’s worst infl :ences,
is callous and unimprovable. The
hud may expand in health and beauty;
but the sooner the rotten, stained, and I
noisome leaves drop oft', the better. !

THE HOUSE AND HIS RIDER.. j
KY LAWRIE TODD.
“The horse knoweth his owner,” and ;
he knows much more. I verily believe I
he knows more than many of the two I
legged animals who ride on horseback;
S and I am quite sure there is more of
| the spirit of Christianity in his practice
I than is to be found in many of the bi
i peds aforesaid; for the horse.especialiy
; the carman’s, rests on the Sabbath, j
j whereas his rider often works harder
for the devil on that day than he does 1
for food to keep his soul and body
together on anv other day in the week.
Besides, the horse will caress Ihe hand )
1 that feeds him; hut thousands of his |
i riders thank not God, in whom they '
live, and move, and have their being.
> To illustrate my position, let me give
■ you a few anecdotes of this beautiful
and friendly animal. Os a two horse I
s team, belonging to the Earl of ;|
i near Oxford, one was very vicious, j
the other quite the reverse. In the
. stall next to the gentle horse was one
: that was blind. In the morning when
the horses, about twenty of them, were
; turned out to pasture, this good tem
• pered creature would take his blind
t friend under his protection. When he
strayed from his companions, his kind
friend would run neighing after, and
smell around him, and when recogniz
ed, they would walk side by side, until
the blind friend was led to the best
grass in the field. This horse was so
exceedingly gentle that he had incur
! red the character of being a coward,
i when onlv himself was concerned; but
| if any of them made an attack on his
j blind friend, he would fly to the rescue
j with such fury, that not a horse in the
field could stand against him. This
singular instance of sagacity, I had al
most said disinterested humanity, may
well pul the whole fraternity of horse
jockeys to the blush. They tobesure,
will fight fora brother jockey, whether
ho is right or wrong; yet they expect
him to fight for them on (lie fitst similar
occasion; but this kind-hearted animal
could anticipate no such reciprocity.
Some years ago, the servant of
Thos, Walker, of Manchester, Eng ,
going to water :he carriage horses at
a stone trough, which stood at one end
of the Exchange, a dog that was ac
customed to lie in the stall with one ot
| them, followed the horses as usual.—
| On the way he was attacked by a large
| mastiff, and was in danger of being
i killed. The dog’s favorite horse see-
I ing the critical situation of his friend,
I suddenly broke loose from the servant;
i ran to the spot where the dogs were
fighting, and with a violent kick threw
ry o
the mastiff from the other dog into a
cooper’s cellar opposite, and having
thus rescued his friendly companion,
returned quietly with him to drink at
the fountain.
God, speaking to Job, asks him :
“Hast thou given the horse strength?
Must thou clothed his neck with thun
der? He mocketh at fear and is not
affrighted; neither turnoth the hack
j from the sword.” Shortly after that
| battle which closed the career of Bo- I
I nnparte, and stayed his wholesale mnr- !
| tiers, and at the disbanding part of the
British army, the remains of a troop of
horse, belonging to the Scotch Greys
were brought to the hammer. The
captain being rich, and a man of foel
i ings, was loth to see these noble fel
| lows turned into butcher, baker, or
beer-house drags, after helping to drive
the French from Spain, and to turn the
flank of the Invincibles at Waterloo.—
He therefore bought the whole lot, and
set them loose in onc of his fine grass
parks, to wear away their old age in
peace. One warm summer evening,
when it was just dark enough to ren
der lightning visible, a vivid flash was
j instantly followed by a loud report of
: thunder. At tins moment the horses
I were grazing leisurely apart from one
j another; hut seeing the blaze, and hear-1
| .ing the report, they thought a battle
I had begun, In a minute they were in
I the centre of the field, all drawn up in
line, their beautiful ears quivering with
anxiety, like the leaf of a poplar
trembling in the breeze, listening for
the word of the rider to lead them to
the charge. My informant, who was
an eye-witness of this wonderful scene,
told me he had often seen these horses.
Many of them bore honorable scars
on their faces, necks, and shoulders, but
none on the rump. A Scotch grey
never “turns tail.”
Some years ago, a baker in Lon
don purchased an old horse at public |
sale. He placed on his sides a pair of
panniers, or large baskets, suspended
by a strong leathern strap across the
hack, where he himself sat, while his
feet rested on a block of wood attach
ed to the sides. Thus accoutred, he
sallied forth to supply his customers
i with hot rol s, etc. One day he hap
i pened to be passing the gale of Hyde
i Park, at the moment the trumpet was
| sounding for the regiment of Life
j Guards to fall in. No sooner had the
j sound assailed the animal’s ears, than
he dashed like lightning through the
Park, with the baker on his back, into
the midst of the squadron. The poor
: man, confounded at being placed in mi
litary line in the front rank of the Life
Guards, began to whip, kick, spur, and
swear, but all to no purpose. His old
I charger was so aroused at the sound
of the trumpet, ihat to move him from
his station was impossible. The sol
diers were exceedingly amused at the
i grotesque appearance of ilie baker, and
j the deportment of his steed, and were
expressing their surprise at the appari
! tion, when an old comrade recognized
the animal, and informed the corps that
the horse once belonged to the regi
ment, but had been sold, on account of
some infirmity, a few years before.—
; Several of the officers' kindly greeted
I their old companion; and the colonel,
delighted at the circumstance gave the
signal to advance in line; when the ba
ker, finding all resistance useless, calm
iv.resigned htmsell to his situation.—
Tne trumpet then sounded the charge,
and the rider was instantly carried, be
tween his two panniers, with the ra-
1 pidity of the wind, to a great distance.
1 Various evolutions were then perform
- ed, in which the animal displayed sun
-1 dry equestrian feats. At length the
t sound of retreat was proclaimed, when
> off we.it the sagacious creature with
■ his rider. After having performed his
, j duty in the lield, he was content to re
sign himself to the guidance of the bri
> die in a mure humble walk of life.

f - A FARCICAL TRAGEDY.
> The “Courrier des Etats Unis” con
■ tains the following story which we
have translated and abridged. It is
! ; furnished by a Paris corresp#ftWu of
. | the Courier.
’j “One evening at the usual hour of
commencing the performances at the
' j Gdeon. not a single spectator was pre-
I sent, although the bill of the evening
' c 1 O
! announced two chefs d'esuvres; the tra
', gedy of Zaire, to be followed bv the
I comedy of L’Avare. Ti e manager
I not deeming it necessary to perform to
this truly “beggarly account of empty
boxes, v was in the act of ordering the
' j doors to he closed and a notice of post
ponement to be posted on them, when
a person entered—purchased his tick
et —made the best of his way to the
centre of the pit —chose the most com
fortable seat —and disposed his person
in a mariner showing his intention was
an evening’s complete enjoyment. At
I this juncture the curtain rose, the Ma
-1 eager stepped forward, and bowing
i thrice to the man in the pit, the follow
ing colloquy between the parties en
sued :
Manager—Sir, at the moment you
came in we were about closing the
doors. You perceive you are alone
j here. We cannot go on with the play
; Man in the Pit—Ah! indeed! Well,
now I am sorry to hear that; 1 came
! from St. Germain-en-Laye expressly j
to see Za i>e, I found your hills post
| ed—your doors open. I bought my
ticket, aye, and paid for it, —and I
demand that the performance go on.
I have a right to do so, and I am pre
pared to sustain it. Consult the Com
missary of Police, if you please, but
I warn you before-hand, that if the
decision is against me, I’ll have you
both up, .and the matter shall go before
a judicial tribunal.
There was no disputing this propo
sition, the law was clear enough, the
manager retired and the curtain rose
a second time, for the tragedy. The
indignant actors determined to annoy
the man by substituting passages not
in the tragedy for others omitted, and
committing various other scenic impro
prieties, but he, nothing daunted, speed
j ily brought them to order by a shrill
| whistle from a key which he produc
ed when necessary, and thus the five
acts of the tragedy was brought to a
close. This over, the actors of the
comedy seeing the man quit his place
and the house, began to congratulate
themselves with the hope of their es
cape. Vain hope! the inexorable man
had been absent hut a few minutes,
when presenting his check at the door,
he re-entered and took possession of
his place in the pit. Again the curtain
rose and Valere and Elise appeared,
but from their hesitation, it was evi
dent to the man in the pit, that there
was an indisposition to proceed with
their parts; and rising from his seat
he thus addressed them.
“1 only came here to see Zaire but
since I have been already cheated out
of my rights, because you thought by
that means to force me to take back
my money at the doors, I have deter
mined to stay, and you shall play the
comedy now just as you have played
the tragedy.”
Here the Commissary of the Police
interposed by observing:
“Sir, you have disturbed the house
bv addressing the performers and you
' must go out.”
“But in disturbing the house I only
| disturbed myself.”
“That may he. But just now you
rigorously exercised your rights now
I I’Jl exercise mine.— You’ve interrupt
ed the piece and out you go. Come,
1 be quick about it or i’ll have to help
: you.”
i ' There was no resisting this pressing
invitation of the Commissary. The |
man departed and the curtain dropped j
Thus by turns, the public and theatre ;
triumphed.
The foregoing night at the Odeon is
str.kingly like one of the concluding)
nights of the past season at the Park |
' Theatre, New York. When the cur
tain rose on the appropriate Comedy
of the Road to Ruin to a solitary d<d
, lar seated in the boxes—the difference
; simply was, that in this case the dollar
got his money back at the doors, not j
having the power, even if he had the
will, to call the police to his aid in for
, cing the performance. But “they ma

. MR.QUICK AND HIS SPOILED CHILD.
. ‘Oti Jepthah, Judge of Israel, what a treasure had’st
thou!’
Mr. Quick (‘Little Quick') had also a ‘treas
! ure,’ namely, l onr fair daughter , which he lov
l ed passing well'—loo well! It followed, then,
■ that she was in infancy so humoured, petted,
, and ‘spoiled,’ that in comparison with her wild
’ and whimsical desires, the famed requisition
of the ‘top tyle of the chimney’ was a raoder
• ate and justifiable demand.
One day, a frierul ‘dropping in’ upon Mr.
and Mrs. Quick at their dinner-hour, found
these fond parents and their ‘treasure’ alrea
dy seated at the table, although the dishes
were yet uncovered. The hospitable couple
insisted on their friend’s participation of their
i jkomely meal; and he in compliance with their
took the fourth side of the board, imme-
I diately opposite to the young mistress of the
, house (then about six years of age,) who, by
right of custom and her own sovereign will,
chose, day by day, whatever position caprice
or local speculations, connected with certain
edibles, pointed out to be most desirable; and
there the high chair of the little despot was
ordered to be placed. On the present occa
sion, having forestalled her dinner by eating
a lump of cake which had palled her appetite,
and rendered the present meal an unwelcome
superfluity, the iillle dear was sealed next to
: her doating father, as a mere looker on.
i Tiie main dish upon the table when unco
vered, excited the curiosity of Aliys Quick,
who either had not seen the joint before, or
had forgotten the name or if, which she now
eagerly demanded; and upon being told that
it was a saddle of mutton, she stood up and
promptly announced her intention of a ride
upon it forthwith. To this preposterous re
i creation the parents were fain to intreat the
; little imp’s forbearance. In vain; for she de- ;
j dared saddle were made to ride upon and to 1
j ride she was resolved. After much ado, her |
| patient father and mother luckily suggested j
i the obvious heat of the seat she aspired to, I
! and the inconvenience likely to arise from
| such exercise, would distress her, and spoil j
i her new I rock,the difficulty seemed surmoun- j
) ted, the child desisted from farther importnui- j
I ty; but immediately after, perceiving the dish
| almost overflowing with the juice ot the mut- |
! ton, she cried out, ‘Oh, let me pul my foot in j
the gravy! I will put my foot in the gravy!’— !
: The father, albeit not unused to suen eccen- 1
i trie fancies, was a Lillie startled at his sweet I
j pel's novel desire, and exclaimed in a tone of!
wonder and deprecation, y My precious love!
what a preposterous thing you propose! it’s
quite out ot the question.—Now be a dear good
child, and let me help Mr. to some mut
ton,’‘Oh,’reiterated the little treasure, ‘1 will
put my feet in the gravy first !’ In vain the
devoted parents argued, threatened and coax
ed; in vain promised that the next day when
they were without a visiter, she should do
) whatever she pleased, all, all, in vain! for up
j on a more determined opposition, the sweet
little Angel yelled out her wishes in such a
piercing key, tiiat her mother, a very mild !
mannered person, addressed her husband,!
‘My dear Mr. Quick, I’m afraid vve shall have |
no peace until vve allow the dear child to do j
as she likes.’ ‘Well, but my Jove,’ urged Air. |
Quick, in reply a little ashamed of their mu- !
tual weakness before their guest, ‘what will
Mr. say to such a proceeding? It is
really so improper.' Mr. willing to see
to what extreme parental folly could go, with
held both his opinion and permission, prefer
ing a state of neutrality; and Mr. Quick, find
ing the little tyrant’s determination warmer
every minute, and the mutton cooler, propos
ed a compromise, nam ly, that the little darl
ing should have another dish brought, in, and
placed in a corner of the room with some
gravy in it, and then paddle about whilst
themselves and friend were at dinner, and re
turn to the table when the fruit came in.—
No: the ‘treasure,’ at the top ot her voice,
snee more declared that she would have the
dish, and nothing but the dish before her; and
further that she would not abate one drop of
I the gravy. At Uns perplexing juncture,Quick
j turned toward his friend, in apology for tiie
scene before him, assuring him at the same
! time, that‘it was of no use to thwart the dear
1 child who would have her way.’ Then calling
I for another dish, tiie poor father placed the
j shivering saddle of mutton upon it, and lifting
I that from the table containing the gravy, car-
I ned it to a remote corner of the room where
i he was followed by the ‘little duck;’ who, after
a persuading kiss from the goose, her father,
consented to have her shoes removed, and to
remain splashing about until the desert ap
peared upon table. When the little nuisance
graciously allowed her footbath to be taken
away, she re-ascended her high chair, and
there further showed how hateful lovely in
fancy may become from improper indulgen
ces, by pushing about and knocking down
whatever she did not approve. Screaming
forth her preference she at length decided in
favor of a large pear, the largest in the dish,
upon which she had placed her affections.
Airs. Quick, unwilling to incur by fresh deni
al, another contest with her powerful superi
or, with prompt kindness smilingly placed the
cbveted’pear upon her daughter’s plate; when
to the alarm of the beholders, the little fury
threw it back upon her mother with all the
ferocity of a full-grown termagant, exclaim
ing, as she did so! 1 Why did you give it to me?
I wanted to snatch it!’
Air. Quick himself related thfs story to the
person now telling it, at the same time con
gratulating himself that his child had grown
into a sensible, rational woman, notwithstand
ing her parent’s early endeavors to make her
a tool.— y An?cdolesof Actors' in Fraser's Mag
