Xi ; WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1858. THE COBBLER’'S TEMPTATION. Jareb Gropp sat in bis little shop upon his low bench. and he pegged and tap) away merrily upon his well-worn knees. He was a jolly fellow, this Jareb. Poor, ‘tis true, but just poor enough to be free from care. He owned the roofed box in which he worked, and so be owned the little thatched cot that joined it. In the cot he lived with his wife and seven children, and in the shop he worked cheerfally all the non Bares He was not afraid of rob- bers, for be had nothing worth carrying off ; and he feared no man, for he never did man a wrong. A merry fellow was Jareb Gropp. _He sang as he pegged, and his joyous notes lacked onty mrsical sound to make them attractive. He was built after the same pattern as were his cot and shop. He was short and dumpy, with 2 round, shiny, good-natured face, and with a bald pate, though he was but five and forty years old. “* Troll-de-rol-de-lol-lardo'” sang Jareb. “ Fol-de-rol-de-riddle-de-rol-rinetum |"? was heard from the inner door. Jareb looked up and saw bis wife. Justa match jor Jareb, for all the world. Short, fat, clean, good-natured, and happy as a happy queen. She was dressed neatly for all her poverty, and the flush of health glowed upon ber plump cheeks *: Duek,’’ said Jareb, “the likeso’ this never happened afore.”’ ~ What is it, my own sugar plum?” asked Hepsebath. Iepsebath was her name, though she hadn’t heard it pronounced in full for years. «Dye see this shoe, delight ?” Yes, my love.’” ia Tis the last work in = castle. Not an- other place to puta ve 1 got by me. We'll shut the quer lower the pg Pa put the warder on guard, and call up our coach, eb?” ‘Ye mean we'll go and walk, peppermint ?”’ “I do, my treasure.’’ ‘Shall I pat on my silk, or satin, or my new velvet >” “ Put on allof ‘em, my dear. We'll make an appearance. Hi-fol-de-rol de-ri-do! There, (tap) that’s the last peg, and old Smith’s shoes are done. Smith—Smith—didn’t you ever fee] thankful your name warn’t Smith, Ueppy, eh. there was a Smith put in jail last week for robbin’ somebody. But you never beard tell of a Gropp’s bein’ put es never. Now, my maple sugar, we'll beofi. Bring up the little Groppses.”’ Siardly bad Heppy departed, when a man made his appearance at the shop door. He was an old man, very well dressed, in black throughout, with a gold headed cane, and weariug a watch chain of the same precious material “‘are you a cobbler?”’ he asked, as he en- tered. “I was two minutes sir; but I’m an old feudal baron now, sir! ly Gropp is going to ride out, sir,’’ and [’m to attend her.” “ bh—are you the man that does mending? mending of ts and shoes ?’’ asked the vis- itor, moving back a pace, as though he feared the strange fellow before him was craz, ~ Yes, sir,” answered Jareb, ‘I’m the man. But, ye see, my wife hasn't walked out for more’na month. I just tossed off the last bit of work I had in the shop. I'd hurried it amazingly, and was just agoin’ to take a run down by the riv ith her and the little ones.” ““Aba—I see,’ said the old gentleman, smiling. ‘Now you just run and tell your jady to wait for you half an hour, and Ii! sat- isfy ber for it. Laminahurry. The stage leaves in hour, snd my boot has given out. Come, you won't refuse to assist me under such circumstances. ’ *Hi-dum de fol-lol! Well, Ls pose I must stick to my business ! Thus speaking. Jareb left the shop, and when he returned he put on his apron again and set- tled in his low seat The old man took off bis cloak and sat down. and the cobbler pulled off the fractured boot. It was ripped badly. Jareb made him a stout waxed-end, singing merrily the while, and when ‘twas ready he took up the boot ~ You seem to be a happy fellow,” said the visitor, after he had watched Jareb's good- natured face awhile. “Why shouldn't I be? Lowe no man any- thing—have my health—and love to do my work. Tol-de-rol-lol-de-lardo.”’ “ You've lnid by something, I suppose, for a rainy day?’ pursued the stranger *: Ay, thousands upon thousands of dollars, sir'”’ cried Jareb, giving bis awl a furious punch “What? So much as that?” “Ha! I’a ttke w show ’em to ye, sir, only they might have dirty faces. Seven of “em, sir: Seven of the best natured children ye ever saw, sir, and stout and ragzed too.’’ “Ab! I meant to ask you if you had not managed to lay by a little money, my man. You seem steady and industrious.’” “Money!” repeated Jareb, with a comical leer. “* a man lay by money when he is building himself houses and gardens? No, sir. Nordoes aman lay by money when he makes half acrown a day, and rears seven childreo. Them little "uns will take care of me when I am old, never fear. No, no— Money of gold, in hoarded store— I bave none of it—I have none; I live and the—I do no more— To-dav its urse, to-morrow a bone, Fol de-rol lo! de-lido. And I’m the happiest man alive— Fol de-rol iol de-lido.”” “Then you live contented on your scanty store’ said the old man, regarding the cob- bler rather enviously. «+ Just as contented as the day is long, And why shouldn't {? I won't starve w there’s a crust of bread in the houss, or Tipped shoe in the age. J should like money if I could have it, but I wouldn’t one day and night of discontent for all the money in the world.”’ “And if you had money, what would you do with it?” For the first time Jareb looked sober. His awl was stopped in the puncture it had made. and his eye rested vacantly upon the floor, When he spoke, all his lightness of manner =i and his voice was tremulous. “* il, I'M tell ye,’ he said, while the twitching of the nether lip told that he felt deeply. ‘(I can’t help thinkin’ that my little ones aren'ta coming up as some folks little enes are. They are good and honest, and happy; but if they could have a chance to get a ieetie wore larnin’ than their poor old father’s got, I sboulda’t mind. [can’t help thinkin’ as how't there might be a bright mind or two amongst them. that might make a doctor, a lawyer, or maybe a minister. But never mind —they're in God's bands I don’t complain Complain ’’’ repeated Jareb, thrusting bis awl through, and then palling it out—“why should I’ How ny arich father would give ail he’s worth if bis children could only be d:ffer- ent from what they are? Sickly and weakly, may be, or perhaps bad and wicked. Hi! ‘There's no such a word as complain, For by it we nothing ean gain, Save trouble and ail mental pain. With fol-de rol de-di-do ' “No, no, sir. I've got enough, and that's morn's everybody's got. The boot was finished; and the old man tock out a golden guineas ¥ A J vese change for cust © pleos; sir,” said areb. “ [don’t want any change. Takeitall. A shilling isto pay you for mending my boot; and the rest is for your wife and children, to Psy thew for the loss of their walk. Come, dou't disappoint we."’ Jareb took the coin, and though his thank- fulness was deep, its expression was simple aad polite. The old man put on his boot and went a The jand Jareb showed his treas- The @ y = as rich as “sepset now. “y danced and sang and then each called the other a fool. . However after this they went and took their walk—they and their children. The oldest child was only twelve years, and the youngest was two. Tommy and Johnny were twins. They were a jolly looking family. mn Jereb returned and entered his shop, t thing he saw was a n silk purse. He picked it up and found it full of gold. Quick as thought he put on his hat again and ran from the mae e reached the hotel tut the stage had gone, and the old gentleman had gone init. So the cobbler returned to his cot, and there sat down with the purse in his hand. alr shall we do with it?” he said, un- easily. ae ce pondered a long while and finally teplied— “Let's take it down cellar and hide it. Then we shan't be robbed of it, nor we shan’t loos its and-when he comes we shall hate er He But supposing he should never come, Hep- if possible. He had forgotten her husband's name, having heard it but once in India, and then only casually in conversation with a man who had just come out. The old man wasrieb; and now that he had found the only living rel- ative he had on earth, he resolved to settle down wtth her. A large house, on a beautiful eminence, the wealthy owner of which had died, was for sale, and uncle George bought it; and thither he took his sister's family. os in ite times there were some great doings in t lar, house. The little Gropps’ fad & com aah teacher, and they became prodigies of learn- ing. Jareb was utterly astonished at the won- drous intellect they displayed. Bat the balance was kept up. As the little ones became more and more advanced, and threw off childish things, Jareb and uncle Put+them on, and became children mselyes. One day the two old men were caught inthe act of jumping leap frog over each other's shoulders; and had not Heppy come out and stopped them, there is no know- ing how many necks might have been broken. It was fortunate for them that the retained all her strong sense, for t many seasons when, in the height of their childish joy, they might have done much mis chief, had sho not been ever near to watch over and protect them; and once (I have it from good authority,) when she caught them wrest- ling at “sidehug,’’ she took them by the ears, and led them into the house. But they had to indulge in rough sports some- times; for as uncle George had euaene become thawed out from the ice of misanthropy and lonesomeness, and as Jareb had fullas sudden- ly been lifted up from the dark depths of pov- erty and want, they found themselves moved by irit of joy and gratitude that wouldn’t be cured. So Heppy had to watch them until some of the children became old enough to rea- son with them; and then she played with the girls in the house, and let the boys take care of the boys out of doors. S neesetnesnseeemeesnnnneneneeesee “Then we will leave it for our children and they may use it.’’ ‘: Heppy. my delight, you are nght.”” . So they went down into their narrow cellar, and baving l.oked all around they finally re- moved a stone from the wall, put the purse in—having first rolled it up in many thick- nesses of stout paper—and then put the stone back as it was before. On the following day the cobbler watched for the stage, and when it came he went to see if the old gentleman had come back. This he did every day for two months, and no old man came. At theend of that time, Jareb was taken sick. He was very, very sick, and for a long time the doctor despaired of his life. And Ja- teb was very poor, too. Many a night the children went supperless to bed. “Jareb,’’ whispered Heppy, with a fright- ened lock, ‘ there’s gold in the cellar!” “Don’t! Don’t! Ob! never speak of it again!” gasped Jareb, in agony. “I have thought of it! Ay—there’s gold there; but *tisn’t ours. ’tisn’t ours, Heppy!”” After many days, Jareb Gropp was able to Miscellaneous. walk out. One pleasant autumn day, as he ATTEN TION FOR THE WISE! hobbled along upon a crutch and staff, he saw FOR SA REAP OUARTERS the stage peer ay _It passed him,andhe| BARGAINS BARGAINS“.

Heppy went out, and when she returned she brought a pine knot, which she lighted by the fire. Jareb took this, and turned towards the cellar, andthe stranger followed him. “ Lean get it, sir.”’ “ Go on; I'll follow you.” The cobbler said no more, but hobbled down the narrow steps, and when he came to that Part of the wall where the purse had been con- cealed, he asked his companion to hold the torch. The latter did so, and then Jareb re- moved the stone and drew forth & paper parcel, all damp aod mildewed.
