There is a sort of fascination in it, a pos

ing. An indescribable, undeniable charm
charm in being the sole occupant of a
front parlor, with nothing to molest or
make afraid; the 6ofa drawn tip before the
shining grate, and the lamp regulated to a
steady blaze that will not eclips the bright
ness of eyes, or mdae particularly pleasing
in hearing the last pair of household feet
take a bee line departure for the upper
chambers, and feeling that the ever swing
ing parlor door will remain closed until
one of the party cornered choose to open.
Talk of courting by daylight! Think of
laming one's arm by quick, hasty with
drawals from aroYind a certain waist at the
incessant ringing of the bell, or seeing the
puff combs and curls fly in every direction
by a sound of con ing footsteps. Imagine
a proud lover at the feet of a fair lady- puf

extiaordinary expressions Sitting over the
face; and, at th? same moment, a puzzled
little countenance peeling through the
folding door, wondering what makes Mr.

more disagreeable still, have mama open

A-BU243LING BURGLAR.
Riding out in the country lately, I stop
ped a few minutes at the house of a young
acquaintance, whose father was a Justice
of the Peace and a man of substance. De
tained longer than I expected by the hos
pitable old gentleman, as I arose to depart,
the family gathered aiound me and bidding
me to take notice that evening was ap
proaching, fairly persuaded me to remain
all night My horse was provided with
bed and btnfrd trporr thre barn floor; and tea.
being despatched, f Was accommodated
with Mrs. VV's arm for the evening.
All matters of interest,- including cider,
politics and apples', being discussed1,- short
ly after the good old houf of nine, we bid
good night and went our several ways to
bed. My room was small but neatness
was its equviaJent for size; a new carpet
protected my bare feet from the rfoor, and
snowy sheets 'with a pair of pillows white
as "mdnomentar alabaster," invited me to
enjoy "tired nature's sweet restorer balmy
sleep." On the mantle-shelf stood two jars
of waxen peaches, overshadowed by turfs
of paintod linen leaves; opposite the foot of
my bed was hung a light framed glass
with peacock'a feathers bending from the
top, and underneath was the table with its
clean wtite cover. Puff went the candle,
as softly rolled I between sheets which
were almost smooth enough to tickle.
The wind began to rise, and a shutter
creaking backward and forward at last
banned against the house and brought back
my uttering ideas in a rush. 1 had for
gotten this interruption and was fast relap
sing into my former blissful condition, when
1 again was annoyed wi;h a grating noise
which seemed to come from the next room;
it gr;w more and more distinct, and I soon
conjectured that the inmate was hoisting
the window for some purpose; but it was
immed ately shut down with ts little noise
as possible at.d all was again silent. A
minute might have passed, when a door
was slowly opened, and instantiy I slipped,
softly from my bed. in something of a tre
mor. I put my head into the ball and
heard a person in his stocking feet going
down stairs. Something's wrong, thought
I, and on my hands and knees I got and
waddled through the hall as fastaa possi
ble. It was not long before I found the
stairs, and as I commenced the descent I
made a mis-step with my fore paw, and
rolled heels over head until I came bump
against the wall of the first platform.
There was a rustle in the room below and
a door was jerked violently open.
"Who's there?"' said Mr. IV. quickly. .
!'eep still your money, or I'll blow
your brains out! Make a noise and I'll
fire!"
Let heruke then, blast you?" said Mr.
M. His ire was up at the thieat and he
did'nt care a rush. v -.
They grappled instantly, and both fell to
the floor. Hurriedly continuing my course,
I tumbled to the bottom of the stairs; rising
quickly I started for the noise but was
brought up all standing with skinned shins
by a sideboard. Like a cornet with a fiery
tail, I sprang edgeways, and.Iike'lhe rush
ing of a mighty wind, I bolted a&ead; one
moment more and uhang I went over a
chair. Being flat again, i took to crawling
and was evidently nearing the scene of ac
tion, when, "Oh, Lord, deliver usf we shall
be robbed we shall be murdered!" came
in a grunt from the bed-room.
"No you won't we'll fix him!" said I,
brave as a lion; I made and almighty
wriggle and ran my head square and
plump against something, hard. It was' a
severe knock, and what' with that and
my ignorance of the . geography of ,. the
floor, I was not likely to be in at the death.
Boo o ool murder! boo h ocol"
squallied the children up s'ttirs.
By turnings and windings I had got my
feet, into another room, and backing in, I
found myself upon the battle-field. Just
then my friend cam? in by another door. :
"Father, who's a-lop!" he shouted.
No answer Came, but a straining, a pul
ling and hauling, knees bumped on the
floor and garments tearing; alone told of a
struggle. The son slapped his Cane fierce
ly upon the heap, and, "Take care, Bil.!"
roared his father as the blow fell on a then
prominent part!" .
"He's under, Bill punch him punch
him!"
- But before Bill could level his1 stick, here
was a reversion in the ord.T of affairs, and
he punched his father pretty severely. By
this timo I bad arrived, and having felt all
over the heap, 1 secured one pair of arms
while my friend did the same, and we lay
a passive bunch until a light was brought
then what a spectaklel We had the
robber safe, but Mr. W's shirt was ruined
to all intents and purpose; it might possibly
have made patches for a rifle.
We handed the culprit ovor to "th hired
man," but the rascal managed to escape
before morning. He must have' been only
an apprentice in the business, as he very
unwisely commenced bis operations so ear
ly in fhe bight, and shut down the window
after he had made his entrance; thus cut
ting off an avenue of retreat, which would
have been carefully left free by an older
rogue. -
A LOST INHERITANCE.
The Paris corespoiidei.t of the N, York
Express writes thus :
I have"a story to relate to your readers
this week, which, though occupying more
space than I usually devote to incidents,
conveys so excellent a moral, that I have
yielded to the temptation and givo it in
full.
The train from Paris to Lyons stopped
at the station of Joigny, a town upon the
route, and again went on, after leaving a
few passengers. The depot for a moment
crowded with rail road agents and lookers-on,
was soon deserted by all but. two
individuals.
One of these was an old man, dressed in
the garb of a well-to-do farmer; the other,
a youth of five and twenty, who seemed
to be waiting" for some one to meet him.
To thf purpose the old man finally addres
sed himself, "May I presume, sir," 6aid
he, "to inquire if you are Ctement B."
"Yes, my good man," replied the youth
with a hautiness of manner, "and I have
no doubt that you are Mr. Martin."
"At your service, sir," returned the oth
er. "Well, Mr. Martin," continued the other
in the same tone, "I began to imagine that
you intended to keep me waiting. That
would not have been the best manner in
which to have insinuated yourself into my
good graces." -
The old man, instend of replying, let
his head fall upon his breast as if in deep
afflict 0', find conducted the new-corner to
an old-fashioned carriage to which a rough
looking horse was harnessed.
"Here is your carriage, sir," said Martin.
"If you will be good enough to get in, 1
will have the honor of conducting you to
the hermitage."
That my carriage," cried Clement
"Why,' I shall be taken for a traveling ped
lar V Notwithstanding, as there " seemed
to bd' no way of avoiding it, he took his
seat beside the old mar. In another mo
ment the man had seized the reins, and
the horse started on a clumsy trot.
But a few days before, Mr. Clement B.,
who now pat on so mrny grand airs, was
a simple clerk in a crockery store in Paris,
and possessed the reputation of being a
quiet,- unpretending little fellow. What,
then, had brought about this sudden and
radical transformation ? He had become,
since the previous' day, a rich man; and4t
may be well understood that lhejpessor
of an income of 20.000 francs a year finds
it difficult to' retain the modest demeanor of
a poor clerk On thd previous' day,' while
dusting the pile? of crockery under his
charge, a letter hud arrived for him by the
post, containing the' startling intelligence
that one of his uncles", of whom we had
often heard as an ecentrib, bu very wealthy
old man, but whom he had never seen, had
just died at his chateau in Burgundy, leav
ing his nephew', Clement, sole legatee of
his estate, to the exclusion of many other
heirs. The letter was from a notary of
the province, who desired himi t6 leave
Paris immediately for Joigny, the town
near which his uncle had resisted, where
he woald be met by Martin, an' Old' confi
dential servant of the defunct, and' Conduc
ted from the railroad to the "Hermirit'age,"
the name which the deceased had given to
his chateau and his estate, which constitu
ted the main. Almost driven out of his
senses by such an unexpected stroke of
fortune, he hastened to obey the notary's
directions ; and, upon his arrival at Joig
ny, joined old Martin, as we hare seen.
On jolted the queer vehicle, in which
our hero : had so contemptuously . taken a
place, until after a ride of several miles,
the occupants arrived at their destination.
Martin offered the honors of, the Hern.it
ags to the. new proprietor, called the serv
ants, and introduced them to their future
master, and then ' conducted the latter to
his apartments.
"This was the Bleeping apartment of
your uncle," said Martin, as they entered
a vast apartment, furnished in old-fashion
style. '
"It was the room he died in ten days
ago." . . r ;
. But the nephew, instead of evincing any
emotion upon being shown the cLaniber of
his benefactor, threw all around a look of
scorn, and cried, "Upon my word, I cannot
aayl think much of the old boy's taste !
1 never saw anything so frightfully ugly
in all my life 1" j
: - ''Notwithstanding, sir," replied Martin,
"it is the best there is here ; arid if you
cannot content yourself! do not really
fcnoirvhere 41111 iijTIJJ'iiil iissjbj"
"I live here! Ye'd-on'l" imaj$8S I'm
such a. donkey, 1 hope.t ; For us -young
fellows, d'ye see, Paris is "the only place,
so I shall sell this old rookery at once, and
be off" - , -
"Sell the Hermitage, your uncPes favo
rite place of res'dence ! impossible. And
we servants, wIo hoped t- end our days
under this roof what will become, of us 7"
"Mr. Martin," retorted the young man,
let me have none of your complaints, I
beg. Get me some dinner, and afterwards
you will drive me to my notary's."
"After having eaten a hearty meal, not
withstanding - he found the meats insipid
and the wines sour, the legatee, still ac
companied by Martin," re enteredthejold
carriage, and the two again started off.
If 1 am not mistaken," observed Mr.
Clement, after an hour's ride,"we passed
this spot this morning1, and that" -pointing
to a building "is .the railroad depot ;
do we take the cars?"
"You alone will do so." responded his
companion, epeaking very gravely,and in
a manner which caused the young man to
tremble in spite of himself. '!, sir, am
your unole, and bappily, I am not dead.
Having heard good accounts of your con
duct, 1 had resolved to make you heir of
al! that 1 possess ; but, before doing so, 1
wished to know whether you were really
deserving of my generosity, and I had re
course to stratagem, which has thorough
ly exuosed'vour true character to me.
Good bye, Mr. Clement. Ref urn to. your
shop, and remember that your' nrrognnce
and ingratitude have lo3t you that which
will never again be placed wi.hin your,
reach."
The old man then gave his foolish nrph
ew a few hundred francs to indemnify him
for the expenses of his trip, took leuve of
hiin at the door of the depot, unJ returned
home. The feelings of the youth may
readily Le imagined, but as the yellow-,
covered novels suy, "they cannot be des
cribed." I think this true story is an apt
illustration of the maxim; "never halloo
until you are out of the woods."
WHAT A JEW MAY DO AKD WHAT A JEW
MAY NOT DO.
Llyod's (London) Weekly sums it up.
He may be a magistrate, tut ho may
not be a member.
He may help in administering the
laws of the country, but he may-not as
sist in making tbem.
lie may be received at court, but be
may not be admitted in Parliament.
He may serve on a jury, but he may
not sit on a Committee.
He may practice at the bar, but be
may not appear, unless summoned as a
witness, al the bar of the House of Com
mons. He may vote to return representatives
of the Collective Wisdom, but he may
not, clever and qualified as he may be,
be a representative of that Collective
Wisdom himself.
He may take an oath in any court of
law, and his oath is received aud res
pected, but he may not take an oath
such as would allow him to sit by the
side of Spooner, Bowyer or Drumtnond
in the old hall of St. Stephen's.
He may be the lord mayor of the
wealthiest city in the world, but he may
not take a seat in the House of Com
mons as the representative of the same
place.
He may lend the Government as
many millions as H wants,- but he may
uot, thongh duly elected, vote, under a
penalty of 500, for each vote,1 on any
committee of supply.
He may be made a peer, but still 1 he
may no, in the right and . title of that
peerage,' sit in the same house as Chii?
tian lords.
And, lastly, granting (for the absiird-
Mty of the thing) the justice of the cry
that the Jew, it admitted, will unchns
tiantze Parliament," such an admission
naturally resolves itself into this.
A" Jew may unchristianize the army,
the bench, the roayorality, the vestry,
all our coifrfs of justice,' our prisons, our
police officers, our penitentiaries," our
hospitals, our charities our banks our
exchanges, orir largest commercial com
panies ; but so' please the cbronettea
pigs ! he may not so long as England
has reason to thank HtTaven that there
is a House of Lords, unchristianize the
Houses of Legislature !
Mrs. Partingtbri says she has noticed
that whether floor was dear or cheap;
she invariably Jiad to pay the same
money for a1 half dollar's worth. !

teous, and candid is a gentleman, wheth
