There wan a public road leading by a meeting houee, where there was a grave-yard und not far «ff a tavern. Ear'y one moonlight night, while one of the mi=creants was busy robbing a grave, the other went ofl 10 steal a sheep.-- The first one having accomplished his pur- pose wrapped a shroud around him, and took a seal in the neeling house door to wail lor his companion. A man on foot pascing along the road to- wards the tavew took him 10 be a ghost, and, alarmed almost 10 demth, ran as fast as his feet could carry him to the tavern, which he reached, out of breath. As soon as he could speak, he declared that he had sven a ghost, robed in white, sitting in the church door. No one would believe his story, but ineredulons us they were nobody could be found who had coursge enough to At length a man, who was so afflicted with the theumatism that he could scarcely walk, declared he would go il the man would earty him there. Heat once agreed wok him on his back, and off they went. -- When they got in sight, sure enongh it wax as he said! Wishing to satisfy themselves well, and gel as near as possible of his ghostehip in the dim hight, they kept ventur- ng nearer and nearer. The man with the shoud around him took them to be his companion with a sheep on his back, he asked in a low fone of voice :-- "In he fat 7 Meeting with no reply, he repeated the question, raising his voice higher: "Is he far 77 Sull no rep'y. . Then in a vehement yoice he called: Iv he far 7% . This was enough. The man with the other on his back replied : + Fal or lean you may have him." And dropping the invalid, he travelled back to the taVern as fast as his feet would carry him. But he had scarcely arrived there, when along came the invalul, on 'og, too! The sodden tright had cared him of rheo- matism, and from that ume forward he was +a well man. TRUE PRIDE, Foolish spending is the father of poverty Do not be ashamed of work, and of hard work.

LORD ELDON, # The Chancellor was sitting in his study over a table of papers, when a young and lovely girl, slightly rustio in her aire, slightly embarrassed by the novelty of her poaition, but thoroughly in command of her wits, entered the room and walked up to the lawyei's chair. . ¢ My dear, said the Chancellor rising and bowing with Old Wordly courtesy, ¢ who are you 1° ¢ Lord Eldon," answered the blushing m. iden, ¢ | am Bessie Bridge, of \Weobly, the daughter of Vicar of Weobly, and papa hae sent me 10 remird you of a promise which yoo made him when | was a litle baby and you were a guest in his honse orn the occasion of vour first election as member of Parliament for Weob'y," + A promise, my dear young lady ?' inte posed the Chancellor, trying to regall hod he had pledged himself. ¢ Yee, Lord Eldon, a promise.

This new style ol paragraphing aflords a fine field for the ex- eiciss ol ingenuity in copyeying the intelli- gence that a man dJied.

At a trial in the Court of King's Bench between two publishing houses, as to an alleged piracy of an arrangement of " The Old English Gentlemar," T. Cook was called to the stand as a witness.

CHARACTER AND IIAIR, Coarse black hair and Jark skin signify great power of character, along with purity and goodness. Stiff, straight black hair and beard indicate a strong, rigid, straight- forward character. Fine dark brown hair signifies the combination of exquisite sensi- bility, with great force of character. Flat, clinging, straight hair, a melancholy but extremely constant character. Coarse red , together with a ponding h of ch Auburn bair, with a florid countenance denotes the highest order of sentiment and intensity of feeling, purity of ol with the highe pacity for enjoyment or suflering. Straight, 'even, emooth and glossy hair denctes stiength, harmony ani evenness of character, hearty affections, a clear head and suj.erior talents. Fine, silky, suple hair is the mark ol a delicate, sensative temperament, and hair und whiskers indicate slrong animal | peaks highly in favor of the mind snd character. White hair indicates a iymphais ic and indolent conslitution, and we may add that, besides these qualities, there ote phemieal properties residing in the coloring matter of the hair tube, ivhich undoubtedly has some effect on the dispesition. Thur, red-haired people are notoriously passionate. Now red hair is proved by analysis tn cone tain & very large amount of sulpher, while black bai is colored! with pare carbon.-- The presence of these matters in the bleod points to peculiarities in the temperament and feelings which are almost universally associated with them, The very way in which the hair flows is strongly indicative of the rolling passions and inclinations, and perhaps a clever person could give a shrewd guess at the manner of a man or woman's (ieposition by only seeing the back of their heads. er me HOW THE QUAKER'S RAM WAS CURED OF BUTTING, An honest Quaker farmer in Beirkehire county, Massachuseits, had raised a fine large mastifl, which he valued highly. One day Tanbark (that was the dog's name) un~ fortunately got into bad company, and en- gaged in a sheep-killingexpedition. Hav- ing thus acjuired a taste for the exciting sport, and for the fresh mution thereby obtained, the dog, like ail his rage, did not poseess enough selt-denjal to let a tho= tough good whipping prevent Lis indulging in it occasionally. The Qunker was greatly grieved, for he hated to destroy the animal. Presently lus hired man, Jones, suggested en ingenious plan to cure the dog of hig sheep killing propensities, which the tender hearted Quaker joyfully adopted, We will let Mr. Junee tell the rest af the story. "There was on the farm a powerful old ram, romewhat famous for butting, and had tried in vain to break him off this bad habit, I concluded if | shut up the two to- gether-- Taubark apd the ram--one or the other would surely have to give ip, and either the dog would get sick of sheep-kil- ling or the ram of, butting ; and | was right. [shut them pp over night in a cow= stable, and when I went out in the merning I lound poor Tanbark effectually oured.-- The ram had ayvenced the wurder of hig unhappy brethern by breaking every bone ti the body of the pnhuppy dog. And won- derfully uptified was the pugnazious animal by his exploit. Instead of being tamed by tha dog, es | had hop=d, Lis butting pro- peneitiea increased so that his insvlence be- came intolerable ; he was sure to pitch on whomsoever or whatsnever went righ him. | was so vexed at these cons'ant annoyances that I looked about for anew plan to cure him.

As they bad but one horse, the father rode and the son walked to the justice' to gel the business done. The writings were drawn and executed and the son put the deeds in Lis pocket. The old geutleman then walked out of the room, and was in the act of mounting, when Joha slers up, takes the bridle out of his hance and ides off, saying,--¢ Father, the mare is mine now," and lelt the oor old man to trudge home alone. Next day the futher, who kept his sarrow to himself, was silting before a blazing fie, when he called his son and eaid-- «Johnny, | have been (hinking of some more properly which was omittad wm the deed yesterday and [| don't koow whether it is best lo give it lo you now, of wait till | have done with ir." « Oh," said the son, * the leeds have not been sent away to the register, andiit is best that the business shoald be done tur gether." « Well then," said the father, "get tig papers." The son hastened to the old bureau and brought them to him. The father asked if these were all. "Yes," aad John.
