[coxrinvep.] “She was the belle of the village, and at quiltings, and paring bees, and dances. she was the life of the company. I had long had my eyes upon her as the choice of my heart, but there were so many that went to sce her on Sunday evenings, it was but seldom that I could find a chanee to speak with her. But I was industrious and prudent, saving all that I could earn, that I might have a pleasant home to offer. The Deacon, too, favored Ine, and seeing [ was of a steady turn of mind. often in- vited me to his house. But young Safford, it seems, all unbeknown to the Deacon, loved her also; but he was such a wild, bold youth, and moreover, sq.at sword’s point with the minis- ter, that he never dared reveal his feelings, save by sundry litile attentions, noticed only by Polly berself. Now it happened that the Deacon had, with great labor, cleared a pateh and planted it with corn. It was growing finely on the new, rich land, and the young ears were already formed, and promised a fine harvest, but for several successive Sundays, there was great destruction in the corn field. In vain he made searecrows and set traps, and even put ove of his old coats on a pole, a sight that would frighten the worst boy in the vil- lage, tor he was the tithing man, that terror of rogues. But the next Sunday the mischief was repeated. till the patience of the old gentleman Was nearly worn out. But he belonged to a church remarkable for the rigidity of its tenets and the strictness of its discipline; to have per- mitted any one to stay at home to watch acurn- field would have been considered a heinous of- fence. “I declare,’ said the old deacon one Sun- day after sundown, ‘we shall lose all our corn. unless we catch those raseally thieves. Who knows but they are Indians?” As he spoke he accidentally looked at Polly. She sat in the corner of the great oak settle which stood before the fire. watching the pufl- ing steam from the tea kettle, and looking somewhat sad. “Why. Polly,” said the deacon, with more animation than usual, ‘among all the rest of my troubles lately, | have been bothered by two or three young men who want you for a wife. I bave a mind to say that whoever will shovt or take prisoner the thief who steals my corn, shall have you for a wife.”” Polly looked up in surprise at this novel mode of disposing of her hand; but the next instant there was a reguish twinkle in her black eye, and turning to her father she said gaily, ‘‘ A bargain, if yoy please.” She knew very well wifo would be first upon the field, and whose courage and perseverance would be the most likely to hold out the long- est. * But will you keep your promise, father?’ ‘I wouldn't have it said that the deacon of the church ever told a lie: so I say it now— whoever will shoot or take prisoner the thief, shall have Polly Burr for his wife.’ This conversation was overheard by the hired bey. and soon circulated through the village. Great was the commotion among the young men of the place. As for myself, I rode far and near; I examined the corn field by night, and devised every means in my power to ascertain the offender. Indeed, on: whole night I watched behind the stump of an old tree. But there was neo avail But the very next Sunday, when Parson Goodman was saying, ‘the ninth head of my diseourse.’’ the congregation were startled by the report of a gun There was a general rising. and great com- motion among the women. Our first thought was of Indians or Tories. There was a rush for the door, a tumbling over children and a sereaming of their mothers. But what was our surprise. when fairly landed upon the green, to see young Safford dragging with all his strength a huge bear. that to all appearance bad just breathed her last “I've caught her, deacon he shouted. “ T've caught the rascal at last !"" he repeated ; “and caught her too in the very act, you can See for yourself,’ he added, pointing to the dis- tended mouth, half filled with yet unchewed corn. The poor deacon stood mute with aston- ishment, for he recollected that, Jeptha like. he had made a rzsh vow The minister was the first to break silence His indignation at being disturbed in his dis- cuurse, and his anger at such an open vivlation of holy time, were at the boiling point He exclaimed in his luudest tones: * Young man, who are you, that you shouldedisturb the wor ship of the sanctuary ? Know you uot that you are breaking the laws of God and man’ Con- stable Chapman, arrest this man and bold him prisoner until further disposal can be made of nis person!” Poor Safford was thunderstruck ; he had in- tended uo barm, but in his eagerness to dis- lay his prize, and supposing service over, he bad hastened towards the village. It bad not once occurred to him that he was a church mem- ber, and as such | able to censure. He knew that it was wrong to absent himself trom meeting, but he thought the offence would be pardoned, because of the benefit conferred. Seeing be was about to be taken prisoner, he at first resisted, but reeollecting that he was in the hands of a legal officer, he thought best to submit quietly. His confinement, however. was short, and another mode of punishment proposed During the week a church meeting was called, and young Safford cited to appear thereat, and give reasons why he should not be excommu- nicated from chureh fur his high-handed wick- edness The deacon was present. but Pully was nowhere to be seen. When her father roposed so summarily to dispose of her hand. ta first thought was ot Saffurd, and knowing is bold and daring spirit. she felt sure that he would win. Poor girl’ She little thought of such a sad termination of the affair. To be excommunicated from church was, in the eyes of that little community, a most grievous in- flictiuon Such unfortunates were considered us losing and were ranked among pagans and infidels Safford pleaded his own cause with all the eloquence he could command. In vain did he contend that it was lawful to do good on the Sabbath day; he spoke befure judges deter- wined to condemn He was according!y condemned to be present on the next Sabbath. when the sentence would be read. In the meantime the lovers had an interview. Poor Polly could do little else bat weep. Her father said nothing, but looked stern and displeased *But you say. Polly.’ repeated Safford, “ thatif I am got excommunicated. your futher wil! consent ?" * He cannot help doing so,’ she answered ; “but be thinks the Bible condemns church mewbers marrying non-professors, and would not dare to give his consent to our marriage if they turn you out of the chureb.”” “But [ tell you I am wor going to leave the eburch; that tory minister will find that he cannot manage me so easily.” + But it already decided,’’ said Polly; “the papers are already made out. and to- orrow it will be read - = They rei// vot read jit, trast me, Polly ;’ and thus they parted Sunday came. and with it the whole congrc- gation w meeting. The whole, did I say’ All except young Saffurd. But when the after- noon service was about half over, he entered. his gun loaded with « braee of ba'ls. his sword and cartridge box on his side, avd bis kuap- sack on his back with six days provisions in it He marched into a corner and there touk up his position. As soon as the benediction was pronounced, Parson Goodman began to read the excommunication. but had not pro- ceeded fur wxen Safford entered the aisle in his martial array, cocked and leveled his tel, exclaiming, *- Proceed, if you dare “Proceed. and you are a dead man!’ The man, overwhelmed with astonishment and or, shrunk behind his pulpit, aud banded the paper to one of his deacons. He, trembling from head to foot. endeavored to obey. The same threat was repeated, and Safford added, “* Desist and march, or you are all dead men‘ I will not leave this house in shame!’ Not many minutes elapsed before the house was cleared. and the daring young man left its sole occupant. He locked the door, put the keys in his pocket, and sent them the next day, with his respects, to the minister. He ¢ us re- mained a member of the church in “good and regular standing.”* until the day of his death. Deacon Burr received such evidence of the perseverance of his self-elected son, that he dared not to refuse his consent to the mar- riage. _“ And grandpa, didn’t you feel badly?” said little Alice. “There's your Aunt Sally coming up the walk. from the Sewing Society; she'll have a batch of news all fresh from the manufactory,”’ he replied ; “‘run and meet her.” ro FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS. The famous phrase ‘- a wise and masterly in activity,” which was used by John C. Calhoun, and previously by John Randolph, is found for the first time in the ‘ Vindiciw Galliew”’ of Sir James Mackintosh (1791,) in the following passage: ‘* The Commons, faithful to th tem, remained in a wis nd masterly inaetivi- _ “God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb,” is often quoted as a verse of Scripture, but it is from Sterne’s “Sentimental Journey,” though not original with him. as it oceurs in Gerge Herbert's Jaculi Prudentum, “To a close shorn sheep God give: wind by measure.” and more literally in a French collection of proverbs (Henri Estienne, * Premias,’’ 1594,"" “God measures the wind to a shorn sheep.” “Men use language to conceal their thoughts.” which hus been ascribed to Talley- rand, and to Goldsmith here referred to Young, (Satire ii., line 207 Where nature's end of language is declined, And men talk only to conceal their mind. The phrase was also employed by Voltaire, “Men use words only to disguise their thoughts.’” Cowper's. familiar line, “God made the country, and man made the town,” appears originally in Cowley with a still stronger anti- thesis—‘* God the first garden made, and the first city. Cain.’ So also Cowper's panegyric on tea, ‘‘the cups that cheer. but not inebri- ate,’ was first applied by Bishop Berkely in his “ Siris”’ to the sovereign virtues of the tar water, ‘“Itis of a nature so mild and benign and proportioned te the human constitution, as to warm without heating, to cheer but not in- ebriate.”’ Wordsworth’s “The child is father to the man”’ is hinted at in Milton's ‘ Paradize Re- gained,”’ ‘The childhood shows the man, As morning shows the day. “ So didst thon travel on life's common way In cheerful godliness." from the “* Excursion,” was anticipated by Sir Thomas Moore : Journeying on life’s common way In cheerful godliness _We find Thomas Campbell's “like angel- vis few and fur between,”’ in old Juhu Norris 1711), Like an; ‘s°s visits. short and bright. y's too weak to bear them long, and in Robert Blair’s ‘ Grave’’ (1699-1746). In visits, like those of angels, short and far be- tween. “Man proposes, but God disposes.”’ often {prone from Thomas a Kempis (1386-1471, De mitatione Christi), is of much greater antiqui- ty, and is found the ‘Chronicles of Battel Abbey” (1066-1176), and in Piers Ploughman’s ision. Sir Walter Scott is made to father the popu- lar cateh-word, ‘ There's a gude time coming” (Rob Roy, eh. 32.) “The Almighty Dollar’ is the expression of Washington Living, ‘Millions for defence, but not a cent for a tribute,” was first said by Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, when Ambassador to the French Republic, 1796. “Another morn rises on Mid-noon’’ is in Wordsworth’s + Prelude,’ and previously in Milton, from whom it was quoted by Webster. ‘* Libraries, befere whose tomes mesk-eyed Patience folds her hands in despair,” is trom Everett's Phi Beta Kappa oration. —Bartl-tt Collection 2 Sam. Patcn’s Last Lear —We find in an old Rochester paper the following account of the last leap of the famous and foolhardy Sam Patch, who lost his life in jumping over the Genesee Falls, at Rochester, New York. It wil be remembered that he had betore leaped off the Genesee Falls, and also at Niagara, His last leap was taken November 13th, 1829: “ This singular and presumptuous being has indeed made his ** last jump.’ Friday, the Isth November. at the hourappointed. in hand- bills, which had previously circulated, headed. *Saim.’s last jamp,” the banks of the river, on either side below the falls, for nearly half a mile, were crowded with spectators Sam. ap- peared, amid the shouts and hurrahs of the expectant assemblage. A stage had been ereet- ed twenty-five feet higher than the brink of the precipice, making the height about one hundred and twenty feet; from which he was to leap. He had before jumped from the precipice with- out injury, and new, determined to prove by experiment, (in his own language.) that me things can be done as well as others,’ s~ cended the stage, and was again grected by the cheers of the spectators. Sam addressed those immediately below for a few moments, in alan- guage that seemed to say he half anticipated the result of his rashness. After adjusting his dress, bowed to the vast assemblage, first upon the one side of the unenviable station, then on to the other, and deliberately leaping off, was for a moment in mid air. and then engulfed in the abyss b:n.ah. We stood near where Le struck, and for « moment after he had left the stage, heard not a word. Kach heart beat with a dreadful suspense,'and every eye was strained to behold his rising, but they saw him not, f r the water still engulfed its victim. At length, when not a wave or sign gave further clue to hope, the half formed shout of joy died into breathing murmurs of “ He's dead?”’ “He's gone.’ And in a moment the vast crowd knew full well its truth, and turned half aside to conceal the horror that they felt. Thus has Sam Patch, who had rashly, till now, sported with the law of nature, given us an example that vain and mortal man may not trifle with bounds prescribed by God The body has not yet been found.” Distress AMonG THE Enciisn CLERGy The Rev. W. G. Jervis, secretary to the clerical fund, tells an awful story about the distress of the working clergy of the Church of England. Four hundred of these poor fellows, known to Mr. Jervis, in one year applied for any sort of relief—money, ¢lothes, or food. The Bishop of Sedor and Man states that the proverty of his ctergy is so great that fresh meat is aluxury to them ; and another bishop lately stated that be knew many clergymen in his diocese who, to- gether with their wives and families, seldom tasted meat. The Kev. G. Radeliffe, recently sentenced to t ars penal service for forgery, had a wretched “ living.
