Mr. Popps paid bis two hundred sixty-sev- enth visit to Miss Clarissa Cooler the other evening. He found her in a rocker, alone in the parior ; stole his arm around her alabas- ter neck, and sipped the nectar of her cherry lips—a proceeding there was not the least harm in, considering that they had come to an agreement, and were generally reported to be on the high-road te matrimony. The lady took all quietly—even indifferently, to judge from the lassitude of her attitude in the rocker, herlazy use of her fan, and her exclamation of something between a heigh-ho and a ya hum. Commonplaces were disposed of. Then fol- lowed a silence, broken only by Mr. Popps slapping at the mosquitees, and Miss Clarissa fanning herself mpoweninglas At length Popps proposed a promenade and ice cream Cluvioes eclined both, adding: “I wish to stay at home ; for I have some- thing particular to tell you ’’ ‘* [ndeed,’’ said Popps; ‘‘ what is it, dear?’ ‘You expect our wedding to take place in three weeks, don’t you?’’ **To be sure [ do!” “Well, I am sorry to disappoint you, but I must doit. [cannot marr: “Good heavens, Clarissa, what are you saying?’’ “ Don’t interrupt me. I mean I can’t warry just yet awhile—not for some months to come.”” 3 by, Clarissa, what’s the m ng of all this? You gave me your positive promise, and said nothing stood in the way. am all ready and worried with waiting. hy do you put it off, dear?’ “That you will have to exouse my telling you. I have a good reason for it—I have thought the matter over well—and my mind is made up. Will that satisfy you?” Popps mused awhile. Clarissa kept her fan eving Finally, Popps spoke. ‘No, Clarissa, it won't satisfy me. You postpone our wedding, and refuse to tell me why. Ifyou have a reason for it you ought to let me know it, and maybe it would satisfy me. But 1 won’t be satisfied without the reason.’’ ‘“ Well, then, you'll have to remain unsat- isfed. I tell youl have areason, and a good one—what more do you want ?’’ “I see how it is—I’ve courted you tuo long —I did'nt strike while iron was hot—you are tired of me, and wish to get rid of me. Well, if that apes wish, go ahead.” «Mr. Popps, you're a dunce—you're a fool 1’? “Maybe I am, and maybeI ain’t,’’ said Popps, rising with bis temper, “ but this I’ll say, Miss Clarissa, if you don’t tell me why you postpone the wedding fora few months, you may postpone it forever, so far as I am concerned. Tell me, Clarissa; else I swear that when I leave this house to-night, I will never set foot in it again! “Well, then, you'd better go !”’ ‘Very well. Good night, Miss Cooler.’’ Popps reached the door, Clarissa followed him; and seeing that he was in earnest, cried to him to stay. Poppscame back. Clarissa put her head on his shoulderand cried. Popps melted. Popps spoke first “Well, dear, what's the matter ?”’ ‘Oh, I think you’re so unreasonable and cruel! indeed, indeed, I have a good cause for putting off our marriage—but I cannot, 1 must not tell you what itis. Ob, dear Mr Popps, do excuse me!’? And she cried a lit- tle more, *‘ Well, Clarissa, tell me this. Do you put it off to please your father or any of your re- lations ?”’ ‘No—they know nothing of my determina- tion.”’ **Do you put it off on account of anything concerning me ?’’ “No,” ‘Do you want to go any where, or do any thing particular, that will keep you from mar- trying *”’ “ No ” “In God’s name then, Clarissa, what do you want? Why keep me in this suspense?” “Ob, Mr Popps, you’re so cruel! May be I ought toteil you the obstacle—but I can’t, indeed I cant!” “Just as you please, Miss Cooler.”” Popps again picked up his bat. “Oh, Mr. Popps, pray don’t go—don’t go yet awhile!” ieee Miss Clarissa, tell me the obsta- cle. Popps was evidently determined. Clarisse put her head on his shoulder, laboring under astrange agitation. Several times she es- sayed to speak. At length she breathed into his ear these fearful words : “* The weather's too hot !”” Popps wilted. When our spirit left he was advocating a trip the White Mountains, And A Seconp Anegu Garret —Yesterday af- ternoon, the inhabitants of the city of Pough- keepsie were visited by asecond Angel Ga- briel, who, after collecting together in Market street some of the most respectable citizens, prepared togive them a lecture upon free- dom, andits rights. He first introduced him- self as the inventor of steamboats and barge: and algo stated that most of the public roads were worked by him, but he merely told this for the good of the community at large Whilst in the middle of the oration, a horse and wagon was quietly driven behind bim. a rope process, and one end tied to a leg of the chair upon which he was standing, and the other fastened to the wagon; the whip was then applied to the horse, and the inven- tor of steamboats and bridger, and worker of the public roads, was suddenly hurled from his high position to the level of the commu- nity at large GREEN GoosEBERRY Jau.—We believe green gooreberry jam is not very frequently made for family use, but it is one that we can rec- ommend, especially when the gooseberries are home-grown, aa that decreases the expense, and it is essential that they should be used fresh.

THE GREAT ORGAN AT FRYBURG. A lady correspondent of the N. ¥ Indepen- dentjwriting from Fryburg, (Swisee Gives the following graphic account of the great organ in that piece, which has long been considered one of the most famous of the splendid instru- ments on the continent : As usual in a pew city, we wandered around in the crooked, up and-down-hill streets of Fryturg, and just at evening went to the cathedral to hear the organ. The streets were dusky in the twilight as we walked along, and when we entered the church it was so dark that we could not distinguish the faces of those that wore assembled. A man with a lantern met us at the door and took our tick- ets, and we pend up the sombre isle towards the altar. Funeral services were to be per- formed on the morrow, and a coffin covered with a pall stood ona bier at the upper end of the aisle. The white embroidery of a skull ra Norges bones shone out strangely in the wi u We were hardly seated when the an pesled forth At ‘first it was too powerful ; its full swell pained the ear and seemed to overwhelm the cathedral. Anon, the sound died away, and a sweet song, as of human voices, rose from the heart of the organ. Now the chant swept into the far distance, so that the ear strained in listening, yet still one clear female voice came distinct and tender, sustained by other voices in @ harmony, so faint that it seemed like the anthem of a dis- tant angelic choir. Anon it broke forth fall and strong as though the singing company had come to the hither side of some mountain which before kept their voices from us Again it swept away and again returned, the notes So sweet and unearthly that the organist had power, not only over the keys of his instru- ment, but over the emotions of his bearers, and moved them to involuntary tears. There Was @ pause: snd then the triumphant hal- lelujah in the ““Messiah’’ burst from the or- gan. The instrument seemed to speak tho words; the music rolled through the ecburch in aseaof sound and throbbed and broke against the arches of the roof The whole building seemed to pulsate, and then again the sound died away and all was still. The sweet notes of a pastoral next arose, and the pipe of the shepherd called to the Alpine echoes which answered him in tones of #rial melody. Again and again he piped. and again and again the voice replied, till he threw aside Eis instrument and shouted to the echo a song of the mountains wnich it re- turned with the same sweetness a: recision It was like standing again in the ine pase and bearing the notes shouted close beside us mount far above and cling in wierd, unearth- ly and oft-repeated tones around the jagged peaks of the Wettenhorn. Everything about us made the music im- pressive ; the vast cathedral with its dim col- umps and arches, lighted here and there where the pale moonbeams st led in; the heavy shadows couching in the distant aisles and trembling anear the organ, where the faint light of a lamp made the gloom oniy more manifest; the slow vibrations of the holy oii, burning before the altar; the etill- ness of the assembled listeners; ord the deeper stillness and more utter darkness of the velvet pall whose folds rested motionless on the cold pavement and told of a house where the light of day comes not, where mu- sic, whether of gayety or worship, sounds not where no ear iistens where no eye weeps, where no heart throbs in emotion and in life And yet that eloquent hallelujah bursting forth in faith and certainty above this symbol of the grave, aroused the soul to holy enthu- siasm and to a rejoicing sense of Him who is resurrection and the life; and it seemed as i/ in far-off notes we beard a voice chanting ‘‘ I know that my Redeemer liveth and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth ; and though after my skin, worms de- cael this body, yet in my flesh shall I see od.’ Cnoosine Papgr-nancines.—We are in- clined to think that it could be predicted that (what may be found from experience) the prietor of the house will invariably reject y ‘tern selected and laid before him. Nothing will satisfy but the overhauling of some hundred pieces. ‘“* Why, sii intelligent paper hanger to an ai ect. about one of these selections, “I have noticed over and over again that gentlemen get so bewildered with the lot of patterns that pass before them, that sometimes they end by choosing actually the very worst of the lot.”’ Instead of surprise at such a result, it would not be consistent with ascertained facts in physics if it were not so. It has been conclu- sively shown by M. Chevreal that the eye, in looking at color after color, is gradually un- dergoing change, so that the character of each color ia altered; in short, the color is vitiated. An analogous result is unquestionably pro- duced in form and proportion; indeed, the recognition of it coustitutes the whole art of design. Marpiace —“ Marriage is the mother of the world; it preserves nations, fills the cities and churches, and peoples heavens. An un- married man. like a fly in the heart of a sweet apple, dwells in perpetual sweetness, but lone and cannot enjoy it for want of com- pany ”” Marriage, like the industrious bee, uilds houses, forms societies and republics, sends out colories, and blesses the world. 1 is one of the good institutions which God at first gave us. Even in Eden it was not good for man to be alone. Man was too complete, as at first made, to be entirely happy. He was independent without having any depend- ing upon him ie was not to be happy with- out having some other to care for, so the Lord God took from him one of his own ribs, and out of it made hima wife. Thus it needs a wife to restore man to completeness as such, and more especially to complete his happiness by having a wife to depend on him. tA Dutchman had made a handsome fortune in Philadelphia by selling milk. He started for Holland, his home, with two bags of gold pieces. When on shipboard he counted one bag of his dear treasure. A mischievous monkey chanced to watch his operations. As soon as the counted bag had been replaced and tied up, Jocko seized it, and soon found his way tothe masthead He opened the bag, and after eyeing the brilliant gold, proceeded to drop one piece on the deck and another in the water, until he had empted the bag. When he had finished, the Dutchman threw up his arms, exclaiming: ‘ Pie jinkos, he must be de dyvel, for vat come from the vater he does gibe to de vater. and vat come from de milk he does gibe to me.”’ Bees and QuaiL —Two remarkable facts are to be noted in respect to the advancement of the whites. The first is thatthe quail, un- known to the Indian, makes its first appear ance—from whence no mau kvows—when the white man plows and plants his fields, afford- ing an abundance of delicious food to the piv- neers The second fact is, the honey ber is not found in the country while in the posres- sion of the Indians. 1t keeps just in advance of the advancing wave of civilization. When the Indians see swarms of these new visitors, their wise men sadly acknowledge that it is time for them to abandon their pleasant hunt- ing grounds and the graves of their fataer-, and seek new homes.
