1 ' fk TAKING A NEWSPAPER. " A pleasant day Ihtav neighbor Caskill," (aid n farmer to another,-coiiiinjr into tho barn of i lis latter, who was. engaged in iepnraiing the thafffrom the Wheal crop by means of a fan. " Very fine day, frlniid Alton," M Any nswsV returned the individual addressed. No, nothing of importance, I believe. I hire "called ever to tee tf you won't join Carpenter and myself in taking the paper tlii year. Th price is only two dollar and fifty cent a year." k Nothing Is cheap that you don't want," re . turned Gaskill, in a positive tone. " I don't be Keve in newspapers. If an old stray one happens got into .my house, my gals are crar after it, and nothing can be got out of them till it is read through. Tbey wouldn't be gocd for a cent if a paper came every week. And besides, dollars aint picked up in every cornhill." " But think, neighbor. Gaskill, how much in. forroalionvour gals oud get if they had a freab newspaper every week, filled with the latest in-1 leiligence. The time they would spend in lean ing it, would be nothing to what they would gain." ''And what would tiiey gain, I wonder? Get their heads filled with nonsense and lo.ve stories. Look; at Sally Black. Isn't she a fine specimen of your newspaper reading gal's 1 Wot worth to her -father three pumpkin seed I remember well enough when aho was 6oe of the niot promising little bodies aboutjtere. But her father was fool enough to take a .newspaper. Any one could sec a change ii Sally. '"She began to spruce up and look sulart. First came a bow on her Sunday bonnet,and ihen gloves logo !o meet ing in. After tbit she miftt be sent off to school again, and thatat the very time she began to be worth something about the house. And now sho has gt a forte piano, and a fellow comes every week to teach her music." " Then you won't join us neighbor 1" Mr. Alton said, avoiding a useless reply to Gaskill. "Oh no; that I will not. Money thrown away on newspapers is worse than wasted. I never heard of their doing any good". The time spent in reading a newspaper every week would be enough to raise a hundred bushels of potjioes. Vitur Herald, in try opinion, is a dear bargain at that price." Mr. Alton changed the Btihjr-cj, and soon afier left neighbor Gaskill to h sowu (am ies. A wise man was found to make ona r.f tle proposed club, and by l..e;n the five dollars were sent on ami papnrs procured. One diy about two inoirlis afterwards ihfly met, as they had done frequently during Uio in. lerntediate times. "Have you sold your wheat yet!" asked Mr. Altos. " Yes I sold it day before yesterday." ' How much did you get for it !" "Eighty-fiw cents." " No more !" "I don't know that I had any right to expect more; Wheat hasn't been above that for two months past" ' But it is above that now." , " How do-you know I" . " Why, I thought-that every one knew the price had advanced to ninety-two cents ! to whom did you sell !" " Tu Wakefield, the store keeper in Ravenna. II met me day before yesterday and asked me if I had sold- toy crop yet. I said 1 had not. He then offered to take it at eighty five cents, the market price, and I told him he might as well bav t, tbers - was doubtless little chance of its rising. Yesterday he sent over the wagons, and took it away." " That was hardly fair in Wakefield. He knew prices had advanced. He came to me also, and offered to buy in crbp at eighty-five.

"Vou cannot surely be io earnest " farmer Gaskill said, with a look of. profound astonishment.

Finding himself rather late before he got near the ' dum b, he resolved to make a shortcut across , field where the road inado an angl, gj) jumping 'over a stone wall lis steered directly for the i church, but had not proceeded many paces when lie was startled by a most savage and . unmusical boo.boo-ing sound in a tone of the i deepest b.ies hcever heard.

I asked him ninety-two cents, which afier some higgling, he was quite willing to give." j " Did he pay you ninety two cents," exclaimed Gaskill in surprise and chr.grin. " He ce'rtainly did." : Toabad- ! too bad-l No better-than-dow right cheating, to take such shameful advantage of another man's ignorance." "Certainly. Wakefield cannot be justified in Jfis conduct," replied Mr. Alton. " It is not right for one man to take advantage of another man's ignorance, and get his goods lor less than they are worth. But does not any man deserve thus to safer who remains wilfully ignorant in a world uhere he knows there aro always enough stand ing ready to abuse his ignorance. Had you been Willing to spend two dollars and fifty cents for fhe newspaper a whole year, you would have saved in the single item of your wheat crop alone fourteen dollars. Just think of that. Wakefield takes the.newspapers and watches them closely He knowsjevery week the exact state of the market, and is always prepared to make good bargains out of you and some dozen others aroiind here, who have not wit enough to provide ihemselves with j the only avenues of information on al! subjects--the newspapers. . ' Have you sold your potatoes yet!" asked Gaskill, with some concern in his voice. "O, no. Not yet Wakefield has been making me offers for the last ten days. But from the prices tbey are bringing in Philadelphia, I am weirsatiified they most go over Ihirty cents here.'' " Above ihirty ! why, I sold to Wakefield for Jweniy-six cente." A great dunce you. were ; if I must speak, so plainly, neighbor Gaskill. It's only yesterday that be offered me twenty.nine cents for four hundred bushels. But I declined. And I was right Tbey are worth thirty one to day ; and at that price I am going to sell." Isn't it too bad!" ejaculated the mortified farmer, walking backwards and forwards im patiently. ' There are tweniyfive dollars literal - Jy sunk in the sea. That Wakefield has cheated me mdet outrageously." "And all because von were too close lo spend 92 50 cents for a newspaper. I should call that living at the spile and letting but at the bungbola, neighbor Gaskill." , . "I should think il was indeed. This very day Til send off money for the paper.

Ha ! if poor women only knew what they had to go through ! What with buttons,' and oiio thing and another ! They'd never lie them selves up to the best man in the world, I am sure. What would they do, Mr. Caudle ; Why, do much better without you, I'm certain. "And it's my belief, after all, that the button wasn't off the shirt: it's my belief that you pull ed it off, that you might have something to talk about. Oh, you're sggravaring enough, when you like, for any thing. All I know is, it's very odd that the button should be off the shirt ; for 1 am sure that no woman is a greater slave to her husband s buttons than I am. 1 only say, it s ve ry odd.

He threw his sermon behind him, but with no belter suc cess ; tho bull was not to be reasoned with ; he gave the manuscript a whisk with l.i. tail and scattered it to the lour winds ! ' I'rn gone ! I'm gone !' said Ichabod, for the bull was close behind him ; at- this instant he espied an apple tree close at hand , and sum moning all his remaining strength lie made a des perate leap and was forlunate enough lo spring into the tree al tho moment the bull was at i big heeln. Here was an unlooked for deliverance, but un luckily the bull was not so easily got rid of. J hough disappointed ol Ins prey he kept about the tree with such a menacing disposition that Ichabod dared not descend. It seemed as if the malicious animal knew that he kept a congrega tion wait'rtig, he stuck to the spot with such per tinacity. For two mortal hours did tbe irtilucky Ichabod sit perched upon the tree in light of the church. Every minute seemed an age to h'in. He heard the bell, toll, loll, toll, and each stroke seemed the funeral knell to his hopes. He pictured to his fancy a crowded congrega tion waiting in anxious suspense and lost in won der and amazement at his non appearance. 'Alas!' said he to, himself " I hear a voice you cannot hear Which bids me thus delay, I Bee the horns you eannot see Which force me here to stay." He- saw Hie congregation cums-w oi t, chinch and scatter hither ana thither lite sneeii without a shepherd, yet he durst not leave tho apple tree, because there was not a liou but a bull in the way ! The congregation were al last fairly tired out. Two hours had they waited, and no parson came.. Tlie sexton left off tolling the bell, and indeed it was time, for he had nearly worn, the rope off Tho people all came oul of the church, hav ing after two hours debating upon the matter, come to the conclusion that there would be no Sermon, and that there was' good grnund for alarm as to the fate of the minister. Thoy sent off parties east, west, north and south, to explore the country, and presently, ichabod discovered a crowd advancing along I lie road headed by the Deacon and the' Sexton. Ichabod mustered all the strength of his lungs and bawlc-d out to them like seven watchmen upon a tower. The whole party came to a halt and gazed round with as tonishment and fear : at length they spied some thing snugly roosted in the apple tree ; they took it at first for a huge blark turkey-cock, but On a nearer approach they found it to be no other than the Reverend Parson !. , Now the bull just at that moment happened to be pawing and snuffing with his nose to the ground on the other side of the tree, so that he was hidden from the party by a thorn bush at its foot. Tbe people Seeing Ichabod perched on high in that same manner, were struck dumb with amazement for a few moments. Was the poor man bewitched 1 or had he run mad, or what had possessed him to spend the afternoon dangling like a scarecrow on the bough of an apple tree instead of holding forth a godly discourse in the pulpit. 7 for some moments no one dared ad vance a step further or speak a singltword. At last llilt Muggs the sexton plucked up courage and advanced to the stone wall. He was an old sailorvwho within a few years kad taken his land tacks aboard and settled bimseli up in the bush ; he took up the trade of a sexton because it con sisted in pulling a rope. On this occasion he undertook la be spokesman of 4he party, for the Deacon was absolutely frightened. Bill put his head over the wall, clapped his hasd up to tho cor ner of his mouth and aung out ' Parson, ahoy !' Ichabod lifted up his voice, like an owl in tbe desert, and exclaimed 'Come along! save me ! save me !' N 'Blast your eye-balla,' said Bill, clawing a huge quid of tobacco out of his mouth and .throwing it slap .upon (he ground, ' w hy don't you save yourscifT' ' ; ' .

The greatest catwtrophee were thues of Squire Snake root and Lieutenant Darling. Tbe 'Squire being pursy and . short-winded, was overtaken by tbs bull, sad received a tremendous butt in lbs rear whicli so disabled him (hat be could not sit down without a double cushion for a fortnight. Tbs bull after knocking' hlin ever ran off after tbs others, snd tie 'Squire made a shift to climb up into the tree and take sides with tbe parson. The Lieutenant' was a mors frightful case. He was a short, fut, (hick set, duck-legged fellow, and happened to be dreed-in s pair -of stoit, old-fashioned lestbrr breeches. The bull having floored the 'Squire, cume in the twinkling of a bedpost right up on the Lieutenant, who was weddliog off in double quirk time. The bull bit him a poke behind, intend ing to serve him as be did the 'Squire, but ons of his horn raiching in the wsistbsnd of tha Lieutenant's inexpressible, ha wits tsken off his legs in an instant and whisked off upon th bull's. born. Away went the bull scouilng after the fugitives, with the.unfur tunate Lieutenant dangling by the waistband, snd fairly out of his wiis with terror. His capers in Ihe sir were only brooirhl to an snd by the bull's bring ing up, butt, ngniiift tbe stone well, and pitching the Lieutenant completely over into the rood. Thi! r. st Of ihe party got over the wall without any help, and escaped tbe fury of Ihe animal. And now conimenced4 regular set-to 'I he parly armed them selves wiih stories snd clubs, and began a pitched battle with the bull, for the deliverance of Ichabod. Thumps, hangs, thrusts, pokfs and missiles of every description, were showered upon the hide of the fu rious beast, who shook bis redoubtable horns, flour ished his tail, and ran bulling and bellowing hers and there, wherever the attack was hottosi, Ichsbod and 'Squire mentitime shouiing from the citadel iri the apple tree, cheering on the assailants, and attack ing the bull in tbe rear by pelting him with small shot in the shape of winter pippins. This holy war lss'ed for three quarters of an hour, and the bull seemed likely tQ win ihe dny. Ichabod fancied himself already reduced to the necessity of tuking up his quarters in the tree for ihe night, but luckily, al this moment, a riiilorci ment arrived, and ihe hull began slowly to retreat, the assailants, headed hy Hill Mua-. pressed their advantage, otrriidlbo stone wall by escalade form d a solid column, and in a sl.crt ti:n: .he hull ras driven from the field without the loss of a Mngle man. And thus the victory being achieved, Ichubod came down from the tree. . Rut il was all over with him. His sermon was gone, the afternoon was pone, snd be soon found that his hopes, of waging Hi paw in s pulpit, were gone. The bull was never nut of his mind. Hs never had tha courage to attempt another sermon, and at iho very thought of marching lo church in a surplice, he imagines, lo this day, he hears a boo-booing, and sees a pair of horn. , V Lamentable. The following case of domes tic infelicity is tori directly in point to be lost, and is too well depicted in the language of the newspaper in which we find it, to.be improved by our hands : " A young planter in tho upper part of this State, lately married to a beautiful and intellec tual lady, after the honey moon had passed, was pained lo observe that his young bride looked thoughtful at limes, and appeared lo suffer much from ennui. Thinking this might be caused by the absence of female companions, he induced several young ladies, relatives, to make his house their home, in hopes tliereby to render her com pletely happy. This arrangement had not the de sired effect.. His beloved, though apparently joyous and theerlul while conversing with them, as soon as the conversation fligged, relapsed in. to (he melancholy mood. Surprised at this, he fell to pondering the cause, and afier a lengthy' reflection, he came to the conclusion, to send to New York for a piano, to be forwarded by the first ship bound for Natchez, Vicksljurg, or Grand Gulf. Well, the musical companion at length arrived, and a splendid one it was, of beautiful mahogany, ornamented and polished, to the value of a rive hundred dollar Dill. And then uaiscour sed such ravish!n? melody, as the snowy fingers of the young bride pressed the keys.

He was mistaken. Though "music halh charms" like love, it is not the only desideratum in the 'world"; for a while it pleases the ear and touches the heart, but ministers not to the mind. The ladv seldom courted Apollo, snd her hus band had the mortification of feeling that he had not yet made Ins domioil a paradise to " her he adored."

The children will have it that he knows Sunday as well as they do. We had almost forgotten ono trait in Lion's character. We ocaaaiomilly permit him to walk with us to Ihe office, and about twelve o'clock, '.he hour when some of tin boys are munching tMir dinners, he ia sure to take his place naar tlie "stands" and watch for his portion. Betw een two and three o'clock, when we are Ic'aving the office, we ask him if he wants to go home and see tho children ; his nnsnver is given by plicirg his fore feet upon cur shoulder and a very s:rnng wag of his tail.

Homo men think themselves ve ry clever in tantalizing their wives; some, unpos sessed of fueling themselves, may not understand how a vile word or stupid acl can vex a keener aoul, but it is meet to know and remember this, there is no greater crime than to take a woman from her father's he.arth, where she stood in blooming independence, to load her with the carea or a family and then trample on her hopes, by nrovitnr that he is no better than those for whom she never cared or sighed ; that he Is no worthier I Check Ginghams and Merino Uassimer . i i. i . , ; uAm .1 ..a. . .nili n..i.
