THOMAS TYTTE. 
Fluttering nervously, here and there, 
Round his lady-bird—odd little elf— 
Now on an iron-weed, now in th’ air, 
Thomas Tytte is describing himself.

I and wife, in this ’em tree, 
Live as jolly as ever you see. 
Feedle, dee, dee. 
T. Tytte, Eeq., is drest in blue, 
Like every other high-born tit, 
With a yellow vest and ckoaker, too; 
You’ll hear him crow, if you listen a bit.

A simple creature afe&rd of boys,

Lay on, my dear, nobody ’ll come, 
I’m keeping watch in this old gum.

A very retiring female she, 
Abiding at home, as females do, 
Always blowing and bragging is he, 
A real man-bully as ever I knew.

FREDDY DIDN’T ELOPE. 
simple but important question, and so she 
gang the song “ why don’t the man propose?” 
at him to no purpose. Three times he came 
prepared and nerved — three times he left his 
cap and courage in the hall,—but the fourth 
time, frenzied by the attentions of a rival 
taller than himself, by at least an inch, and 
with symptoms of a moustache, he fell on his 
knees in the hall, when on the eve of depart¬ 
ing, and was blest. 
Freddy went home and passed for once a 
sleepless night; and when the gray light of 
morning showed itself at the window, he fell 
asleep ; and when the bright sun shone in, it 
shone upon a happy dreaming boy, dreaming 
of a pleasant cottage covered oyer with 
honeysuckles, where he and Helen lived hap¬ 
pily — where neither care nor sorrow entered 
i», but all was peace and love. 
Freddy was late that morning at the office, 
for he had to order his engagement ring; and 
when he fitted it on that evening, it seemed as 
if the cup of his happiness was brimming over. 
But every day has its night, and Freddy’s 
night was a dark one. lie must be married 
somehow—he couldn’t get married without her 
j father's knowing it — and neither he nor she 
j dared to tell him—and Freddy’s night was 
very dark. 
But at length a gleam of light shot across 
the darkness. An elopement —that was the 
very thing. When he proposed it that night 
it was received with rapturous bursts of ap¬ 
plause. Helen had read of how the Count 
Leonard del Taborini had borne the Lady 
Angelica del Parodi down a rope ladder sev¬ 
enty feet in height, and after cutting his way 
through seventeen of her father’s retainers, 
armed to the teeth, had rowed her sixteen 
miles in less than an hour to the chapel Del 
San Pietro, and there married her in triumph; 
and although she scarcely expected Freddy to 
do such prodigies of valor, and had some 
doubts as to his ability to perform the like 
aquatic feats, yet they might be closely pur¬ 
sued, and it might get into the newspapers 
headed “ Romantic Elopementand, in short, 
“ take it for all in all,” it was just the thing; 
and so it was settled that they should elope 
on the next Thursday night at ten o’clock. 
All Freddy wanted was a friend to explain 
his absence from the office — and why he se¬ 
lected Mr. Jackson for that friend he never 
could explain—unless Providence sent him 
there. Perhaps it was because he was quieter 
than the other clerks—perhaps it was because 
he had been kind to Freddy, and had taken 
him to his roem, and had taught him some¬ 
thing of the noble art of self-defense ; but at 
any rate Freddy did go to him, although Mr. 
Jackson laughed at love and all that sort of 
thing 
After extracting a solemn pledge of secrecy 
from him, he told him his plans. To his sur¬ 
prise, instead of laughing at him, Mr. Jackson 
became grave. 
“ How are you going to support your wife 
after you get her?” said he. 
Freddy said that her father was rich, and 
would soon be reconciled when he found that 
he could not prevent it 
“ But you don’t know that he will,” said 
Mr. Jackson. “ Suppose he don’t ?” and 
Freddy, who had never contemplated steadily 
such an alternative, was fain to confess that in 
that case he didn’t know how he would be 
able to support her in the same degree of com¬ 
fort which she now enjoyed. 
“Now look at it in another light,” said Mr. 
Jackson; “ you say her father, being a wid¬ 
ower, does not pay much attention to his 
daughter’s friendship, and so is not aware of 
your attachment; and that he has invited you 
house, he put her upon a more solid diet.— 
He did more,—he kept a watchful eye over 
Freddy, and in a year offered him a vacant 
clerkship in his counting-room. Freddy ac¬ 
cepted, and having a double motive for exer¬ 
tion, he rose fast, and five years from the 
never-to-be-forgotten Wednesday of the elope¬ 
ment, he entered two co-partnerships, one with 
Helen’s father—one with herself. 
Mr. Jackson officiated as groomsman to the 
latter firm, and Helen’s father and himself 
had a quiet laugh that evening over the man¬ 
ner in which Freddy didn’t elope. 
THE DUCAT AND THE FARTHING. 
BY MARY HOWITT. 
©lii anil Inmor. 
ANECDOTE OF CHANCELLOR KENT. 
A ducat and a farthing had just been 
coined in the great mint where all the gold, 
silver, and copper pieces are made. The two 
lay close, side by side, clean and beautiful, 
and the clear sunlight glittered upon them. 
“ Thou rag-a-muffin ! ” cried the ducat, “ off 
with thee! Thou art only made of vulgar 
copper, and art not worthy to be shone upon 
by the sun. Thou wilt soon be black and 
dirty, and no one will think it worth while to 
pick thee up from the ground. I. on the con¬ 
trary, am of costly gold. 1 shall travel 
through the world to tbe end, to princes and 
kings; I shall do great things, and even at 
length, perhaps, become part of the king’s 
crown.” 
At the same moment a great white cat, ly¬ 
ing near the fire, arose up, and turning round 
on her side, remarked : 
“ The under must be uppermost to make all 
even.” 
And the fate of these two c#ins was some¬ 
what the same. 
The gold piece came into the possession of 
a rich miser, who locked it up in a chest 
among a great number of other gold pieces. 
The miser, fearing that he should soon die, 
buried all his gold in the earth, so that no one 
should possess it after him ; and there lies the 
proud ducat till this present time, and it has 
grown so black and dirty that no one would 
pick it up if they saw it. 
The farthing, however, traveled far through 
the earth, and came to high honor ; and this 
is how it occurred : 
A lad from the mint received the farthing 
in his wages, and the lad’s little sister admir¬ 
ing the bright little coin, he gave it to her.— 
The child ran into the garden to show her 
mother the farthing ; an old lame beggar 
came limping up, and begged a piece of bread. 
“ I have none,” said the little girl. “ Give 
The late Chancellor Kent was one of those 
men whose innate dignity enabled him to take 
in good part familiarity—the result of igno¬ 
rance and accident. He was exceedingly fond 
of martial music, and hearing the drums of a 
recruiting party, who had taken a station at 
the corner of the street, beat a point of war, 
he walked out to listen to it nearer. Incensi- 
bly he was whistling the burden of the tune 
when the man of war accosted him thus : 
“ You are fond of such music, then, my fine 
fellow ?” 
“ Yes,” was the reply. 
“ Well, then,” said Sergeant Kete, “ why 
not join us ? Good quarters, good bounty, 
large bounty ! Besides, our captain is a glo¬ 
rious fellow. Why don’t yon now? You 
can’t do better.” 
“ Well,” said the Chancellor. “ I have one 
pretty strong objection.” 
“ What is it ?” asked the Sergeant. 
“ Why, just now I happen to have a better 
trade.” 
“ What is it?” said the inquisitor. 
“ I am Chancellor of the State of New 
York.” 
“ Whew 1” muttered the Sergeant. “Strike 
up !—quick time!—forward, march !”

Then Mr. Jackson told him that his better

caused Freddy’s concealment of his love ; for

And so Freddy was miserable — miserable depend, Freddy, my boy.” 
in the office where he distractedly made so 
many errors that he called down upon him 
the wrath of his superiors; miserable in his 
room at night, to which he never retired with¬ 
out feeling convinced that he should pass a 
sleepless night, and where his head never 
touched his pillow without his falling instan¬ 
taneously asleep, and never waking up till 
morning. 
He first saw the object of his affection at a 
dancing school, where he fell in love with her 
before he knew her ; and when once introdu¬ 
ced, and danced with her but once, he dated 
his'existence from that dance; all before it 
was a blank. 
She was a “ bread-and-butter miss,” fresh 
from a boarding-school; where novels being 
strictly forbidden, the girls read nothing else : 
and so she had become deeply impressed with 
the importance of having a lover, and Freddy 
presenting himself in that guise, was at once 
accepted. I don’t mean that he at once 
“ popped,” but he saw her home from dan¬ 
cing-school and siDging-school, and called very 
frequently. 
But, though having a lover was very plea¬ 
sant and romantic and all that, yet, being 
engaged was much more so, and she wished 
that Freddy would propose long before he did 
go ; for Freddy, being of course unaware of 
this state of feeling, was afraid to ask the 
Oh! how Freddy’s knees knocked together 
that morning, when he asked for Helen’s fa¬ 
ther; and when closeted with him, his heart 
descended incontinently into his boots, but he 
commenced his story, although something 
seemed to rise in his throat to try and prevent 
it; and having once started, he presented a 
vivid example of “ accelerated motion,” for 
he went like lightning over his love, his fears, 
his plan, his revocation of that plan, and 
ended with a burst of tears, thereby reducing 
the old gentleman to a state of petrifaction. 
When he came a little to himself he made 
Freddy repeat his story more plainly. He 
was a man who, since his wife’s death, had 
paid more attention to his business affairs 
than to his household ones; but he was of a 
generous mind, and Freddy’s candor touched 
him, and he called Helen up. After a long 
talk, a compromise was determined upon.— 
He agreed not to break off the match at once, 
(and break two loving hearts, as J Ielen pa¬ 
thetically said,) upon Freddy’s promising to 
lay aside all ideas of moonlight flitting with¬ 
out due consent. When he had dismissed the 
lovers, Helen’s father couldn’t help being 
afflicted somewhat after the manner of Mr. 
Jackson’s attack ; but he instituted a vigor¬ 
ous search into the source whence Helen drew 
her intellectual nourishment, and having made 
a grand auto-de-fe of all the novels in the 
me then a farthing, that 1 may buy myself a 
bit of bread,” said the beggar. The child 
gave him the farthing. The beggar limped 
away to the baker’s. Whilst he stood in the 
shop, an old acquaintance, dressed as a pil¬ 
grim, with his cloak, staff, and bag, came up 
the street, and gave the children pretty pic¬ 
tures of saints and holy men, and the children 
dropped pence into the box which the pilgrim 
held in his hand. The lieggar asked, “ Where 
are you going?” The pilgrim replied, “ Many 
hundred miles, to the city of Jerusalem, where 
the Lord Jesus was born, and lived, and died ; 
I am going to pray at his holy grave, and to 
buy the release of my brother, who has been 
taken prisoner by the Turks. But first, I am 
collecting money in my box.” “ So take my 
mite,” said the beggar, and gave the pilgrim 
the farthing. 
The beggar was walking away, hungry as 
he came, but the baker, who had looked on, 
gave the poor old man the bread he was about 
to have bought. 
Now, the pilgrim traveled through many 
lands, sailed over sea in a little ship, and at 
length reached the city of Jerusalem. When 
the pilgrim arrived, he first prayed at the 
sepulchre, then presented himself before the 
Sultan, who held his brother captive. He 
offered the Turk a great sum of money if he 
would only set his brother free. But the 
Turk required more. “ I have nothing more 
to offer thee,” spake the pilgrim, “ than this 
common farthing, which a hungry beggar 
gave me out of compassion. Be thou also 
compassionate, and the farthing will reward 
thee.” 
The Sultan put the farthing in his pocket, 
and soon forgot all about it. The Emperor 
of Germany came to Jerusalem, and waged 
war against the Sultan. The Sultan fought 
bravely, and was never wounded. Once an 
arrow was shot straight at his breast—it 
struck him, but fell back again without hav¬ 
ing wounded him. The Sultan was much 
surprised at this, and, after the battle, his 
clothes were examined, and in the breast 
pocket the farthing was found, against which 
the arrow had struck. The Turk held the 
farthing in great honor, and had it hung with 
a golden chain to the handle of his cimeter. 
Later on in the war, the Saltan was taken 
prisoner by the Emperor, and was forced to 
yield up his sword to him. And thus the far¬ 
thing came with his sword into the Emperor’s 
possession. 
Whilst the Emperor sat at table with a 
beaker of wine in his hand, the Empress said 
she should like to see the Sultan’s sword, and 
it was brought. As the Emperor exhibited 
it to the Empress, the farthing fell from the 
golden chain into the beaker of wine. The 
Emperor perceived this, and before he placed 
the beaker to his lips, he took out the far¬ 
thing. But the farthing was grown quite 
green. Then every one saw that the wine 
was poison. A wicked attendant had poison¬ 
ed the wine in order to destroy the Emperor. 
The attendant was condemned to death ; but 
the farthing was placed in the imperial crown. 
Thus the farthing had delighted a child, had 
procured a beggar bread, had released a pris¬ 
oner, had saved the life of a Sultan, and. of 
an Emperor. Therefore it was set in the im¬ 
perial crown and is there to-day—if one could 
only see that crown! 
A Final Answer. — “ Stranger, perhaps 
you are not aware how hard it is lor a Y ankee 
to control his curiosity. You’ll please ex 
cuse me, but I really would like to know your 
name and residence, and the business you fol¬ 
low. I expect you ain’t ashamed of either of 
’em, so now won’t you just obleedge me ?” 
This appeal brought out the traveler, who, 
rising up to the extremest height allowed by 
the coach, and throwing back his shoulders 
replied: 
“ My name is General Andrew Washing¬ 
ton. I reside in the State of Mississippi. I 
am a gentleman of leisure, and I am glad to 
be able to say, of extensive means. J have 
heard much of New York, And I am on my way 
to see it; and if I like it as well as I am led 
to expect, I intend to— buy it.'” 
Preparing for a Storm.— A few nights 
ago a Mr. Bodkin, who had been out taking 
his glass and pipe, on going home late, bor¬ 
rowed an umbrella, and when his wife’s 
tongue was loosened, he sat up in bed and 
suddenly spread out the parapulie. 
“ What are you going to do with that 
thiDg ?” said she. 
“ Why, my dear, I expected a very heavy 
storm to-night, and so I came prepared.” 
In less than two minutes Mrs. Bodkin was 
asleep.

SEYMOUR’S GRAIN DRILL. 
In offering this Drill to the public, the Subscriber 
would state that he is prepared to furnish the farmer 
with a drill as thoroughly tested and as highly approv¬ 
ed as any in the world. It is loss complicated than any 
other in tho country that is capable of doing even one- 
half which this can perform ; hence it is less liable to 
get out of repair. It performs all that is important that 
any grain drill should do ; and all , and still more, than 
all tho other drills in the country can honestly protend 
to do. 
This is, and has been for several years, the only drill 
capable of sowing plaster and other similar fertilizers 
mixed with grain, and it does it, even if the grain has 
boon soaked and rolled in such fertilizers. This being 
so desirable a requisite for a grain drill, has induced 
others to sow grain and fertilizers together into the 
same drills from separate boxes. This drill is quite as 
roadily constructed thus to operate as any other, and 
those who prefer it, have only to order accordingly; 
while those who prefer sowing tho fertilizers broadcast, 
in front of the drill teeth, can do so by ordering the 
grass-seeder of sufficient capacity.

highest premium, a silver medal, in 1863, at the Monroe 
Co. Agricultural Exhibition, though competing with all 
tho approved Drills in tho country. It has also received 
tho highest proraiums in several Statos at State Exhibi¬ 
tions. Farmers wishing to purchase, will savo money
