He was c.r txemtltt :iwttlou0. not oaly of nice arUcltiS ofT0tWT)Wt'or!m"t riot Generally excite the cupidity of the x human heart. '!ho foHuing story is in ?oT?Sbc at a visit one day with me of base parishon- lay ers a noor. lonely widow. lllg HI moorland part of the parish Mr. L became fascinated bv the charm of a little cast iron pot, which happened at the time to be lying on 'the hearth full of potatoes for the poor woman's dinner, and that of her children. He had never in his life seen such a nice little pot. It was a per fect conceit of a thing. It was a gem. No pot on earth could nnteh it in symmetry. It was an object altogether perfectly lovely. " Dear sake ! minister, " said the widow, quite overpowered by the reverend man's commendations of her pot ; "if ye like the pot sac weel 33 a' that, I beg ye'll let me send it io the manse. Its a kind o'orra xiiperjtuctis pot wi'us, for we've a bigger ane?" that -wo- use ofteneav and Tthat'sjnair convenient every way for us. Sac ye'll just take a pres'-nt o't. I'll send ,pwer the morn wi' Jcmie w hen he gangs to schulc." "Oh!" said the minister, "I can by no means permit you to he at so much trouble Since you are so good as to give mc the pot, I'll just carry it home with me in my hand. I am so much taken with it indeed, that I would really prefer carrying it my self." After much altercation between the minister and tiie widow,- on this deli- j cafe uoitit of politeness, rftvas agreed that I - - lie should carry home the pot himself. Oil, then, he trudged bearing this cu- rious little culinary article, alternately in his hand and under -his arm, as seemed most convenient to linn. Lnfortunately the day was warm, the way Jong and the minister fat : "so that he become hoarlifv I tired of his burden before he got half-way ' home. Under these distressing circuni- . stances it struck him, that if instead of car- rying the pot awkwardly at one side of his person he were to carry it on his head, tiie oiirucn would oe greatly lightened ; tilt? j principles-of natural philosophy w hich he had learned at college, informing him, that when a load nrc.-?cs di recti v and immedi ately upon any object, it is far less onerous than when it hangs at the remote end ot a leaver. Accordingly, dolling his hat, which ho resolved to carry home in his hand and having applied his handkerchief to his b-ow he clapped the pot inverted fashion upon his head: where as the reader may suppose, if figured much like Mambrino's helmet upon the crazed capital of Don' Quixotic, onlv a great deal more tiiagnificent in shani . aud dimensions. . Tlicrc was, at first much relief and much comfort, in this new mode ."of carrying tho pot ;' but mark the result, 1 The unfortunate minister having taken a ; by -path to escape observation, found wnicti mtercepTcn nim irom passing irona ; one field to another. He jumped: but ' surely no jump was ever taken so complete-, ly in, or ai least into, the dark, as this, the concussion given to his person in tU.. ! scending caused the helmet to become a . hood: the pot slipped down over his fiee, and resting with its rim upon his neck, i stuck fast there ; enclosing his whole head ! as completely as ever that of a newborn child was enclosed by the firnuly bag with i which nature, as an indicatiou of future good fortune, sometimes invests the nod- mes oi ner layontc onspnng. vvnat was worst of all, the noo, which had ix r- Tnitw4-trc pot to slip ddfrn-;6Wr tr, Ms h pothenuse. .isever mine-er m a worse plight ?

Every thing cotisiderrd, it seemed likely that, if he did noi' di mce to be relieved by sojne ' accidental wayfarer, there would soon be ,ktith in the pot. j Tho instinctive love of life, however, is prid eycri've'ry :sTCfp"fdpr?(J: pie have boon found, when put to it" ny strong and imminent peril, to exhibit a de- gree of energy far alcove- what might becx-l iKK.teiTfrom them or what they were ever known to" -exhibit or exert, under ordinary circumstances. So it, was with the pot-en-' ince'(T tire urgency of his distress, he fortunately recollected that there was a smith's shop at the distance of .a bout a mile across the fields, where, if ho could reach it before the period of suffieat,ion, he might possibly find relief. Deprived of his eye-sight, he could act only as a man of feeling, and went oa as cautiously as he could, with his hat in his hand. Half crawling, half slid ing ovpr ridge and furrow, ditch and hedge, somewhat like Satan floundering over cha os, the unhappy minister travelled w ith all possible speed, as nearly as lie could guess in f lic direction of the place of r fuge. I leave it to the reader to conceive the sur prise, the mirth, r tire-in finite amusement of the smith and all the hangers on of the smiddy, when at length torn and worn, faint and exhausted, blind and, breathless the unfortunate man-arrived at that place, and let them know (rather by signs than by words) I he circumstance of this case. In the words of an old Scottish song " Out cam the gudemm, and high he shouted ; Out came the gudewifi? and low she shouted; And ' the tnwmifcipldnis ere gatbed about it; And there was he, 1 Uow ! The merriment of the company, however, soon gave way to considerations of human ity. LudircroUs as was the minister with such an object whera, his. head should havn' been, and with fli feet of the pot pointing; upward like the horns of the great Enemy, it wasV nevertheless, necessary that ho should be speedily restored to his ordina ry condition, if it were for no other reason than that he might continue to live. Ho was accordingly, at his own request, led in to the smithy, multitudes flocking around to tender him their kindest ofiiee, or wit ness the process of his release; and having laid down his head upon the anvil, thr smith lost no time in siezing and poising his goodly forehammer. " Will I couio sair on minister?" exclaimed the considerate man of iron, "in at the brink of the pot ?'' " As sair as yc like," was the ministers an swer: " better chap i tho chafts than dying for want of breath." Thus permitted tho man let fall a hard blow', which fortunately broke the pot in pieces without hurting tho head which it enclosed, ns the cook maid breaks the shell of the lobster, without bruising the delicate food within. A few minutes of the clear air and a glass from the gudewife's bottle restored the unfortu nate man of prayer; but assuredly the in- him-jeident is one which will long live in tho memory of the parishioners of C T" THR' YOUNG LOVERS BY WAS1IISOTON iaI50.

The cuckoo, that harbinger of spring was faintly heard from a lsanee ; the thrush piped from the hawthorn, and the yellow butter flic sported and toyed and fluttered in the air. The fair Julia was leaning on her lover's arm, listening 6 his conversation, with her eyes cast clown a soft blush upon her check, and a quiet smile on her lips; while in the hand that hung negligent by her side was a bunch of flowers. In this way they were saun tering slowly along, and when I consider ed them, and the scene in which they were moving, I eould not but think it a thou sand pities that the season should ever grow older, or that blossoms should give way to fruit, or that lovers should ever get niar-i-ied. - KBe. wtij.

The monotony would be as killing to tho mind as the torpedo's touch in benumbing the body. You would long to see a plain woman nay, one without a nose would bo a rarity, and she would soon hear herself toastedan the most polite assemblies. We may pursue this subj- ct ihfough a-" nother of its ramifications. Were there not different stations different degrees of wealth and honours in society, we should be' the most miserable beings in existence. It is variety that gives the zest. Variety is every thing and here the would-be po litical economists lose sight of the exam ple which Providence has set them, when they endeavour to bring every thing into a uniformity, consistent with their strait- . bodied theories.
