MISCELLANY. " ANNIE LIURir. bX itfTL. Ii you want to hear Annie Laurie sbug enne to my house lo night, said a mu to hit friend. We have a love lorn fellow in the village who was sad ly wrecked by the refusal of a girl whom t had been paying attention to fof a year or more. It is seldom ho wili attempt Ihe song, but when he does, I tell you, it draws teats Itom those unus ed lo weeping. A small and seledt company had as sembled ill a pleasant parlor and was gaily chatting and lahghing, when a tall young mair eiflered whose . peculi ar face aud air instantly arrested their tittentida. lie was vtty pale with that clear vivid complexion which dark hair ed consumptives, so often have. His locks were as black as jet. aud hung profusely upoti a square while collar. His eyes were very large and spiritual and his brow such an one as a poet should have."; But for a certain wan dering look, a casual observer would have-pronounced him a man of un common intellectual powers. The words "pooor fellow," and "how sad he looks," went the rounds as he came for ward, bowed to the company and took his seat. One or two girls laughed as they whispered that he was love crack ed, but the rest treated him. with res pectful deference. , It was late in the evening, when sing ing was- proposed and to ask him to sing "Annie Laurine" was a task of tin commou delicacy. One song after an other was 8.u and at last that one was named. At its mention the young man grew deadly pale but did not speak, he seemed instantly lo be hi a reverie. ".'" The name of the girl who treated him so badly was Annie, said a lady, whis pering to a new guest, but oh,l wish he would sing it nobody else ran do it jus tice. No ons dares to sing Annie Laurie before you, Charles, said au elderly la dy, would it be too much lo ak you to favor the company w'th it? he ad ded timidly. . -, . . Itc did uoi reply for a moment his lipsquiveicd a little and thou looking up as if he saw a spiritual presence, he began. Every sound, was hushed it seemed as it his voice were the voice of an angel. The tones vibrated through .. . - .i. . . - - . , nerve and pulse aud heart, and mad one shiver with the pathos of his feel ing; never was heard melody in a hu man voice like that so plaintive so soulful so tender and earnest. He sal wiili bis head thrown Lack his eves haff closed the looks of dark hair glistening against his pale temples. his fane throat swelling with tlie nci tunes, his hands rightly before him as he sting. And 'twas there that Annie Laurie. Gave, me her promise true- It seemed as if he shook from head to foot with emotion. Many a lip trembed and there was no jesting or laughing but instead tears in more than one eye And on he sang and ou, holding eve ry one in wrapt attention till he can: lo the last verse. Like dew ou Ihe g"an Ijring Is the fa' of her fa-iry fi-et. And like winda in summer Mfhing, ' Her voice ia low aud" aacets Her oice is low and aweet Ul th' ' the antkl to mr He paused before he a-.ded Aud for Jjounle Annie Laurie, I'd lay bh dwn and dee. There was a long and solemn paua.' The black locks seemed to grow black er, the white temj es winter almost mi perceptibly ihe head kept falling back the eyes were closed shut. One glanc ed at another, all seemed awe struck, till ihe same person who had urged him to mijc lau her Hand eeuuv on nrs a a shoulder, sayins "Charles, CJharlesl" Then came a greater hush, a thril of horror ' crept through every frame the roor tired heait had ceased to lx;at Charles the love, betrayed was dead AK EC DOTE OF lrtINCE ALBERT TOLD Bl" HIMSELF.

' - A STRANGE LEjACY " A posthorae imtau-r of . Lower Austria, who died ki 1757, left a closed box which he leqursied might remain in the family, nnd not be opened for a hundred year. lu or ler to secure compliance with his wishes, lie staled expres.-Iy, in his will that the con ents ol the bx were of no value, but would be regarded as curiosities in century.

GaUganit Messenger: TIT FOR TAT. A German lenor singer of so :.e note, resident in Paris, was injured by a fal from the top of. a diligence. His breast was burt, und he found, on his rccovefy, that he had n t only losr flesh, but his voice hail forsaken him. With care, -time, and ame liorating medicine, the tones returned ; but now there appeared m npotlu-cary's bill of portentous length, which demanded imme diate settlement or in default thereof, the appearni ce of our musician , before a j is tice. In this emergency, M C - r bethought him of .Meyerbeer, the great composer also a German. Being reduced to Ihe lull extremity, he called upon his countryman and sta'cd his distress and its cause. With wonted liberality, Meyerbeer introduced the tenor singer to several of his friends, and procured him occasions for displaying his talents t hereby he was shortly. in posses sion of a sum of money sufficient to settle the obnoxious bill. But there was little left; and finding himself once more at his wit's and money's cm, M. C r betook himself again to Meyerbeer. : . v H was cordially received- . The great composer, after listening to bis tale of dis tress, opened his tscrUotre, took thence pa per, pen and ink, and wrote as follows ; uTo MontUrU Baron Rolhscktid : Sir Permit me to recommend to your powerful protection arid good graces M. C r, a Uerma i musician and tenor singer His talents have already elicited the admiration of several talons where he has sung.

TH RE E CHE E RS ANDA TIQE'lt The Boston Saturday Evening Gazetie gives the following history, of the origin of the expre&sive enwl. which, under tr.e name of "tiger," has acquired a general popularity in ibie countty : in 1822, ihe Boston Light Infantry, un der Copt. Mackintosh and Lieut. Robert L. Winthrop, vi-.ited Salem and encamped in Wa-iLington square, and during their stay a few of Ue metnbers indulged in. sports incidental to camp duty, when some visi ter excIaimJto oi.e who was a little rough, '-Oh you Tiger 1" It became a catch word, and as a term of playful reproach," iou re' a Tigsr,", was od ipted as one of the pecu liar uhfrtses of lbs corps. On the loute to Boston some musical genius sang an im promptu line, "On you 1 gers don't you know," to-the air of "Rob Roy McGregor oh f" Of course the" appellation soon in duced tbe Tigers by name to imitate the actions of the Tiger, and the growI was intro luced, and at the conclusion of three a tiger was- invariably called for. In lo 26 the Infantry vuited New York, beinj; the first volunteer cc rps lo make a trip from this city to another State, and while there the tigers at a public festivi I awoke the echoes and astonished lle G? thamitss by giving howl. : It pleased the fancy of the hosts, and gradually it became adopted on ail f -stive and io ois occasions, and now "three cheers nnd a tiger" are the insepar able demonstrations of approbation . in that city. Here it is still a marked- peculiarity of the corps, and1 where the true tone is heard, one may bo sure that the Boston Light Infantry, Capt. C. O. Rogers, ia not more than a mile distant.

A case of deci !ed evidence of legal j meanness occurred yesterday. Some time ago n judgment was obtained against ah endorser of a note 2,500, and in due course of time an execuUon was issued and placed n the bands of the sheriff for collection ! I'he endorser,, who whs perfectly responsi ble for the amount, findioar that he wou'd be obliged to pay the sum for his friend, of fered to do so yesterday, b it the lawyer who prosecuted the suit would take noth ing short ot the eidirt sum in specie the le gnl tender of the country I The pound of flesh alone would answer his purpose. He must have the full exactions of the law, without discount or hindrance. Ire specie. loled out in dollars and cents, would fill he measure of his rapacityj"nd nothing else. It is just such men as this legal Shy- lock that do more than any other class to augment tbe financial trials of individuals. Cincinnati uazelle. A REBUKE.

The Boston Courier thus discourses up on the employment question: At this time domestic servants and tbe laboring classes generally need employ ment more than ever. j loose who are de pendent on their daily wages for their dai ly bread should then be sustained and en couraged rather than discarded. , By pur suing the tatter poi.cy we auu to me num ber ot those exposed to immediate suuering augment the hardships of the ptor, and, by rendering poverty desperate, inevitably increase the temptations to crme. A gen erous and right-tnin led reformer, in the way of retrenchment, will bei-in with his own person tl expenses. He will cut on foreign and useless luxuries from bis list of wants before turning bis servants adrift or excluding the working classes who are de pendent upon him for employment: If necessary, he will re luce their wages and give them- plamer fare, of at least the choice of strch an alternative, instead ofttischarg- mg arrd sending them to seek work at a time .when it is hardest to be found- In re gard to all this class of persons, we hold it si duty to give thm'the option to share our retrenchment, rather than to force them in- 4o illeness, want ami sin. Those who have the means and vho contemplate improve ment in burldtrrg, or who require labor in other operations, may wisely, as well as liberally, take advantage of the present pe riod. They can thus afford the means of subsistence to the industrious, exhibit a true interest in their conditiqn, and, at the same tune, obtain the labor they need at less cost. This wouIJ be a fair mode of retrenchment, bearing with just relative proportion upon all. The latest an 1 "awfulest" news relative ' to "farmlv census" is that a lad v stoiimnir at the' Madison.
