THE UNCLE IN THE CASKET. 
Mb. Heiman, and old rich miser, and an 
odd fellow, felt that his hour was come, and 
therefore wrote to Adolphus, a very poor 
nephew, whom he had always before neg¬ 
lected, to ask him to visit liim, promising 
to make him heir to all his possessions.— 
Adolphus lost no time, but traveled night 
and day, and reached the little village, the 
residence of his uncle, early on the fifth 
morning, went to the Violet, the only inn 
of the place, in order to dress himself bet¬ 
ter, and to make inquiries about his uncle. 
The landlord answered, shrugging up his 
shoulders, “ According to all appearances, 
Mr. Heiman is near his end. Since Wed 
nesday he was sensible only for a few hours 
each day, and is likely, says Mr. Schneidab, 
the village barber and physician, to depart 
this evening. Since the peace, instead of 
the better times we hoped for, a pestilence 
rages here, which even destroys the child 
in the mother’s womb. My cousin, the 
smith, who was so strong that he might 
have beeiT used like a beam to force open 
the church door, is gone to God yesterday 
evening; and Schneidab, who is not so ea¬ 
sily frightened, begins to lose courage.— 
He believes it to be a radical pestilence, 
intended only for the benefit of the sexton, 
who, like an enchanted executioner, sees 
three dead bodies before him instead of 
one, and cannot heave them in and out fast 
enough.” 
Adolphus asked more particulars of his 
uncle. “ You will find with your uncle a 
faithful old housekeeper, and Albertina, an 
orphan, who lost her left eye by a ball en¬ 
tering the window in a skirmish, but who 
continues to set both young and old in a 
flame, with the right, as if it were a burn¬ 
ing glass, and this without wishing it, for 
Tinchen is a perfect example.” 
^Vith a heart beating so that it might be 
heard, Adolphus entered his uncle’s house, 
and met Albertina. Her noble form, and 
her remaining burning glass, made the' lo'fes 
of the other to be overlooked. The gentle, 
goodness of her spirit, played about her 
face, and seemed independent of its form, 
though in truth it was, with the exception 
of the eye, beautiful. 
“Mr. Adolphus,” repeated Albertina, as 
he named himself, “ I will announce you 
immediately; you are expected impatiently 
and will be heartily welcome.” “Thank 
God,” said the deserving heir to himself.— 
To her he said some flattering words as 
she disappeared, and then prayed that 
Heaven would preserve his uncle’s heart 
favorably disposed towards him. Alberti¬ 
na opened the door, and bid him enter; in 
a moment he was at the bedside. 
Old Heiman was perfectly sensible; he 
thanked Adolphus in a friendly way^ prais¬ 
ed his blooming appearance, assured him 
he had inquired after him, and heard noth¬ 
ing of him but what was good, and there¬ 
fore made him bis heir. Adolphus stam¬ 
mered forth his earnest thanks. “ Not too 
soon, not too soon,” said the other; “ it is 
with conditions; hear them first. I am to 
be buried in the churchyard here, and you 
will receive the interest of eighty thousand 
thalers, if you will promise the magistrate 
to repeat piously the Lord’s Prayer once a 
day over my grave till the end of your life. 
If you fail once, the informer is to receive 
a fourth part of the inheritance, and the 
remainder is to go to the hospital, the guar¬ 
dian of which will keep a good lookout that 
you perform your vow. Nothing but a se¬ 
rious disease, testified by two surgeons, is 
tp excuse you from this duty. The testa¬ 
ment lies ready with the magistrate; take 
time therefOTe to think, for every condition 
is, early or late, a clog on the enjoyment of 
that good with which «it is combined.— 
‘ Why did my uncle curse me,’ you will 
say, ‘ with this condition? why did he poi¬ 
son to me the wine he w^as no longer able 
to drink himself?’ I answer, justice de¬ 
mands that my property should be expend¬ 
ed for the benefit of the town in which I 
gained it—in which I went to school and 
grew up to manhood. On the boundary of 
the dominion of death 3 'ou shall be at least 
reminded once a day to raise your thoughts 
to the Giver of all good; and I wish to save 
the soul of my heir from the rock of world¬ 
ly perdition. Go, my son; I am weak.” i 
Albertina had remained in the room by 
the command of the old man, and now ac¬ 
companied Adolphus to the door. In the 
confusion of his feelings he seized her hand 
and asked what she advised. She blushed, 
and answered, “I cannot believe that you 
will be guided in so important a matter by 
an ignorant girl.” 
“ O yes,” he answered, " your situation 
here makes you a friend, and the good 
sense of your answer belies your pretended 
ignorance. The powers of fate announce 
their decrees with pleasure by the mouth 
of innocent maidens.” She replied, “ turn 
to our Father in heaven; prayer brings pow¬ 
er and knowledge, and we then select, as if 
by inspiration, that which is best.” 
Adolphus left her with a grateful squeeze 
of the hand. He was disposed to follow 
her advice, but his wishes were earthly.— 
“ Eighty thouBEind thalers,” said he, “ or 
rather the interest of this sum, is in truth 
a key to earth’s heaven; but what is the 
price ? The condition separates me forev¬ 
er from all which can sweeten life, or ren¬ 
der it lovely. Suppose I might with swift 
horses reach the capital for a moment to 
strengthen my mind in the circle of beauty 
and intelligence, it 'can only be for a mo¬ 
ment, and like a solitary moonbeam tlirough 
the darkness of a wintry night; and I lose 
all, if any accident happens to me on the 
road. Is there a bitterer cup than this 
eternal monotony—this seeing always the 
same faces, part expressing vulgarity, part 
signifying a mixture of knowledge and rude¬ 
ness even more intolerable than vulgarity ? 
Can anything be worse than to live with 
people who spy out every morning what I 
mean to nourish my body with at mid-day, 
and who treat every deviation from their 
own customs worse tlian the Inquisition 
treats heretics? Yet even here I may find 
friends, hearts allied to mine, though differ¬ 
ent in age, situation, and habits. But how 
soon is conversation exhausted! how does 
the daily return of the same materials di¬ 
minish the charms of society! Whatever 
happens to the town falls on me as a part 
of it The inheritance makes me like one 
of its towers; and when I fall sick, Mr. 
Schneidab, the village barber, will hasten, 
as accoucher sent by the fates, to deliver 
me into the other world.” 
In this manner, till late in the evening, 
did Adolphus weigh his situation: and as 
he was going to bed, Albertina came to an¬ 
nounce the sudden death of his uncle.— 
This news made him pass a sleepless night, 
and at times to be almost out of his senses. 
He imagined that the amiable Albertina 
glided into bis chamber, and begged ear¬ 
nestly of him to be pleased with the little 
town—that she delighted him very much 
—th-at she made his staying there the con¬ 
dition of obtaining her favor—and t!iat she 
offered him her sweet mouth to • seal the 
contract with a kiss. He then imagined i 
himself, with her assistance, counting heaps 
of ducats, and he thanked God for the gold-: 
en shower, and for the lovely bride. He 
embraced her with one arm, and lifted a 
sack of thalers wdth the other. A cry of 
fire awoke him—the warm living image was 
fled, and the landlady burst into the room 
to save her wardrobe, which was stowed in 
the best chamber used for guests. The 
cry of tire ran through the house, for not 
one who could breathe but joined in the 
alarm. 
Adolphus sprang out of bed, descended 
to the street, and saw the house of his de¬ 
parted uncle in flames. He reached it just 
as Albertina, with a box of valuables came 
out, which she gave him as his property, 
and then hastened back to secure her own, 
and came not again. Adolphus felt how 
much he was indebted to her, and pressing 
through the burning house, found her in a 
court yard clinging to a tree, which protect¬ 
ed her for a moment from the flames.— 
“ I am lost,” said she, “save yourself.” He, 
however, sprang to her, the flames, as it 
were, following him and making his retreat 
impossible. The hot air already made it 
difficult to breathe, when he discovered 
that by climbing the tree, he might escape 
over the wall. With the arm of love 
strengthened by fear, he dragged the maid¬ 
en up the stem, and along one of the over¬ 
hanging branches, and then dropped her 
safely on the opposite side of the wall, and 
jumped after her. Here they stood in a 
neighboring garden, and first thanked God 
for their escape, Albertina then extinguish¬ 
ed the sparks on his waistcoat with tears of 
gratitude: but he kissed her as he had done 
in his dream, and then led her to a place 
of safety. 
When the fire was extinguished, which 
did not ta^ place till the house was con¬ 
sumed, Adolphus returned to bed, and slept 
nearly as sound as his uncle, whose corpo¬ 
real part had been reduced by fire to a 
heap of ashea Albertina had found it, and 
had secretly conveyed it away. In the 
morning his body was sought, for the will 
made it necessary to have it buried; but 
all in vain: not a bone was to be discover¬ 
ed. Albertina, however, sent in secret a 
casket to Adolphus, and wrote with it— 
“ If the accompanying casket, will, as I 
hope, free my noble assistant from the heavy 
conditions which our departed friend impos¬ 
ed upon his heir, this laller will then only pray 
with more fervor over the a.shes of his ben¬ 
efactor, which now lie in his handa” Adol¬ 
phus blessed in his heart her ingenuity, 
then went to the magistrate, who was full 
of thought, and knew not whom he could 
bury in Heiman’s place. For a grave they 
must have, to fulfil 'the conditions of his 
will. Adolphus, however, said—“Youun¬ 
doubtedly know beforehand what I mean to 
say to your worship. You know that a 
nonentity cannot be buried, and that I can 
not be bound to pray over a grave where 
my uncle is not entombed; and at the same 
time, his testament, making me his heir, re¬ 
mains perfectly valid. A process would 
evidently last longer than your life, and 
probably not be finished before -the day of 
judgment Far be it from me, however, to 
wish to injure this esteemed pleasant town, 
the cradle of my good fortune;—I there¬ 
fore resign in favor of its hospital a third 
part of the property left by my uncle- For 
this, however, you will give me permission 
to send your good wife some of the newest- 
fashions from the city, where I mean to take 
up my residence.” 
Seldom has a ti’caty been sooner ratified 
than this was; — and the heir got away witli 
difficulty fi-om the gratitude of the magis- 
trate,Yo seek out Albertina. She struggled 
against the embraces with which, in his joy, 
he overwhelmed her; they might be the 
mode in the city—here they were quite un¬ 
heard of; but Adolphus spoke with a se¬ 
ducing tongue, and on a subject not usuallj' 
ungrateful to the maiden’s ear. She pre¬ 
tended, indeed, not to believe him, as if she 
regarded it as impossible, with the failure 
of her eye, to please a man who was so en¬ 
tirely without fault, and she concealed her 
wishes with maiden-like excuses. The gay 
people of the little town, however, were 
soon afterw'ards invited to Adolphus’ mar¬ 
riage feast He placed, without the knowl¬ 
edge of the bride, the casket with the now 
blessed uncle under the marriage bed, and 
was thus enabled to offer the promised 
prayers daily with the greatest'conveniency. 
TO O BUS Y. 
A MEBCHANT sat at his office desk; vari¬ 
ous letters were .spi^ad before hira;^iis 
whole being was absorbed in the intricacies 
of his businesa A zealous friend of man¬ 
kind entered the office. 
“ I want to interest you a little, in a new 
effort for the temperance cause,” said the 
good man. 
The merchant cut him off’ by replying— 
“Sir, you must excuse me; but I’m too 
busy to attend to that su«')ject now.” 
But, sir, intemperance is on the increase 
among us,” said the friend. 
“ Is it ? I’m sorry, but I’m too busy at 
present to do anything.” 
“When shall 1 call again, sir?” 
“ I can’t tell. I’m very^ busy. I’m busy 
every day. Excuse me, sir; I wish you a 
good morning.” 
Then bowing the intruder out of his of¬ 
fice, he resumed the study of his papers.— 
The merchant had often repulsed the friends 
of humanity in this manner. No matter 
what was the object, he was too busy to 
listen to. their claims. He had even told 
his minister that he was too busy for any¬ 
thing but to make money. 
But, one morning, a very disagreeable 
stranger stepped softly to his side saying, 
“ Go home with me.” The merchant laid 
dowm; his head grew dizzy; his stomach 
felt faint and sick; he left the counting-room 
went home and retired to his chamber.— 
His unwelcome visitor had followed him, 
and now took his place by the bedside, 
whispering, ever and anon, “ You must go 
with me.” 
A cold chill settled on the merchant’s 
heart; dim spectres of ships, notes, houses 
and lands flitted before his excited mind.— 
Still his pulse beat slower, his heart heaved 
heavily, thick films gathered over his eyes; 
his tongue refused to speak. The merchant 
knew that the name of the visitor was 
Death. All other claimants on his atten¬ 
tion, except the friends of M-ammon, had al¬ 
ways found a quick dismissal in the magic 
phrase, “ I’m too busy.” Humanity, Mer¬ 
cy, Religion, had alike begged his influence, 
means, and attention in vain. But when 
deatli came the excuse was powerless; he 
was compelled to have leisure to die. 
Let us beware how we make ourselves 
too busy to secure Life’s great end. When 
the excuse rises to our lips, and we are 
about to sa}-, that we are too busy to do 
good, let us remember that we cannot be 
too busy to die.

STICKING TO ONE’S RIGHTS, 
Old stories very often have a forcible 
application to present times. The following 
anecdote we met with in an exchange paper: 
* “ How is it, John, that you bring the 
wagon home in such a condition ? ” 
“ I broke it driving over a stump.” 
“ Where ? ” 
“ Back in the woods, half a mile or so.” 
“ But -why did you run against the 
stump? Couldn’t you see how to .drive 
straight ? ” 
“ I did drive straight sir, and that is the 
very reason that I drove over it. The 
stump was directly in the middle of the 
road.” 
“ Why then did you not go round it ? ” 
“ Because, sir, the stump had no right in 
the middle of the road, and I had a right 
in it” 
“True, John, the stump ought not to 
have been in the road, but I wonder 
that you were so foolish as not to consider 
that it was there, and that it was stronger 
than your wagon.” 
“ Why, father, do you think that I am 
always going to yield up my rights ? Not 
I—I am determined to stick up to them, 
come what will.” 
“ But what is the use, John, of standing 
up to rights, when you only get a greater 
wrong by so doing.” 
“ I shall stand up for them at all hazards.” 
“ Well, John, all I have to say is this— 
hereafter you must furnish yourown wagon.” 
LOVE’S LAST REQUEST. 
“ Farewell, farewell,” I cried. “When 
I return thou’lt be my bride—till then be 
faithful, sweet, adieu—in silence oft I’ll 
think of you.” 
Tlic glistening tears stained her bright 
eyes—her thickening breath is choked with 
sighs—her tongue denies her bosom’s sway 
—“ Farewell! "1 tore myself away. 
“ One moment stay,” she stammered out; 
as quick as thought I wheeled about. 
“ My angel, speak! can aught be done 
to comfort thee when I am gone ? I’ll 
send thee specimens of art from every Eu¬ 
ropean mart—I’ll sketch for thee each Al¬ 
pine scene, to let thee see where I have 
been. A stone from Simplon’s dreadful 
height, shall gratify thy curious sight. I’ll 
climb the fiery Etna’s side, to bring home 
treasures to my bride; and oh, my life, 
each ship shall bear a double letter^to my 
fair.” 
“ Ah George,” the weeping angel said, 
and on my shoulder fell her head—“ For 
constancy, my tears are hostage—but when 
you write please pay the postage.” 
Burning the Bits. —“ Please, marm, | 
and what shall I do with the bits oL 
candles.” 
“ Take them down stairs and burn them 
in the kitchen, Bridget” 
Off she started. At night, Bridget call¬ 
ed the lady and asked for a candle for the 
kitchen. 
“ A candle—why, what have you done 
with the’pieces you had this morning? ” 
“ Faith, marm, I put them in the fire, 
and burned them in the kitchen, as j’O told 
me this morning.” 
Hot Weather Workings.- “ This hot 
weather has made queer work with Jones’ 
vinegar,” said Sam to Uncle Nathan. “He 
has about forty hogsheads on hand, and he 
thinks he shall have to get rid of it the best 
way he can; havn’t you heard* about it ? ” 
“No, I have not heard anything. What 
is the matter, what is the trouble with the 
vinegar ? ” 
“ It is all sour.” 
“ Sam, you wall be the death of some¬ 
body y et” _ 
Quips and Catches. —Touch hundreds 
at the same time. Touch your hair. 
Place three chairs in the middle of the 
room; then pull off your shoes and jump 
over them. Jump over your shoes. 
Say nine times without a mistake, “Three 
sieves of sifted thistles, and three sieves of 
unthisted thistles,” 
Go out of the room with two legs, and 
come in with six. Bring in a chair-with 
you. 
Place a ruler on the floor of a room so 
that no one can jump over it. Put it close 
to the wall. 
An eastern lecturer remarked that it 
would not be a very violent stretch of the 
imagination to believe “ that a thoughtful 
Massachusetts or Connecticut baby, six 
months old, sits in the mother’s lap eyeing 
his own cradle, to see if he could not in¬ 
vent a better, or, at least suggest some im¬ 
provement.” 
Talking of “ enlarging” newspapers, the 
editor of the Chicago Journal suggests that 
it is not the largest calf that makes the best 
veal. 
It is stated that an editor down east got 
his pocket full of money, and was afraid to 
g o by tlie museum, lest they should catch 
im for a curiosity.
