terms her, insists npou taking np her residence, 
during the summer months, at De Jones' place, 
and driving away all other guests, for the old 
lady declares she cannot tolerate company. Miss 
Angelina declares herself a martyr to that old 
creature’s temper. She shall die—she knows she 
shall. Some lovely day in vacation will find her 
classmates weeping over her early grave. But 
should she survive—she knows she shall not—she 
will insist upon transplanting her whole contt, to 
Bpend the winter holidays in New York. And 
midst the tears and lamentations of her friends* 
she tears herse’f away, and takes the Btage, "just 
to be romantic,” for her mountain home. 
“Mother, mother, Ann Jinnette baa come 
home,” cried little Charley, running ont to the 
door aa the stage drove np. Mias Angelina 
alighted and sailed majestically up the walk, 
while the stage rattled on its way. 
“Jinnettr, Jinnette, what have you brought 
ub from the city?” asked Charley and his little 
curly-beaded sister, each seizing one of her 
hands to accompany her into the house. 
“Go away, yon little wretches,” said Mias An¬ 
gelina, administering a sound box on the eirr to 
each. “ I’ll teach you to call me by that old-fash¬ 
ioned name—go away, I say, you’ll spoil my 
dress.” 
Our young lady’s name originally consisted of 
the plain, homely appellation of Jennkttb, pre¬ 
faced by the equally plain and homely Ann, 
hut at a later date it had glided into the 
more modern and mnaieal Angelina, —the remain¬ 
ing portion, Flora Bell, being a gratuitous ad¬ 
dition made by the wearer. 
Miss Angelina’s sisterly injunction to go away 
was obeyed, but Charley’s resentment of the 
blows inflicted on himself and Curly, found ex 
pression in what he considered a fearful threat: 
“I’ll just tell George Wilson of you,—he won’t 
come to see you any more Sunday nights.” 
“I don’t think ho will,” said Miss Angelina, 
smiling loftily. Bho had outgrown that threat 
Mrs. Jones now came to the door, and wel¬ 
comed her danghter affectionately. “Well, my 
child,” she said, as they entered the house, “You 
are home with us, once more.” 
“ Yes,” was the reply; “I am homo, and I think 
it is quite a coming down, too. I declare, the 
moment I set eycB on this little old coop of outs 
I felt my heart sink within me. I say father 
might tear down the old hut, and build a 
nice house. He is able, and be ought to do it.” 
Mrs. Jones sighed, but made no reply — she was 
tired of complaints. 
“Ton and Nelly Hanley are coming over to 
see you, this evening, Angelina,” said her 
brother, as they sat at the tca-t3hle. 
The young lady’s first emotions at this an¬ 
nouncement were of anger, — she wished those 
clod-hoppera would stay away; but succeeding 
reflections convinced her that here was a fine op¬ 
portunity for showing off her superiority to her 
quondam friends. Accordingly, when the young 
people arrived, instead of inviting them into the 
after the custom of old times, she 
THE LAND OF DREAMS, 
low ” alluded to was too proud to subject her to 
any further annoyance. 
“I think Ann Jinnette is real mean—don’t 
yon, Curly ?” said Charley, standing by her 
little crib odo night, whither he had repaired to 
talk over “ Jinnbttb’s capers.” 
“ Yes,” sitiil Curly slowly, and then she sudden¬ 
ly continued, “there aint any uhs of trying to 
scare her any more about Gboruk Wilbon. Sho 
used to give me candy and peanuts, and every¬ 
thing, not to tell hitn when she’d been doing any¬ 
thing she hadn’t ought to, hat I suppose I shan’t 
get anymore,” and Curly looked grave. 
“Not the first thing,’’was the reply. “Any¬ 
one can see that she don’t care for him. She 
uses him just as I did my old ball; when 1 hadn’t 
any other, 1 was glad enough to play with that, but 
now I've got a Dew one; the rats may have the 
old one for all that 1 care.” 
“I don’t see how she can treat him so, afier 
the way he used to take her out riding, and give 
her flowers. I ltuow I couldn’t.” Curly was 
thinking how Tommy May used to draw her on 
his hand sled in the winter, and of the nice apples 
and chestnuts that found their way from hispock- 
et to hers. 
“I s'pose she’s catchedsome city chap off there 
to school, and don’t want him any longer, but I 
know one thing, that city beau never’ll have any 
of my walnuts and pop corn when he comes here. 
I shall tell her so, too, to morrow morning.” 
“ He shan't have any of my maple Bugar cakes, 
cither,” said Curly, “ but I mean to give George 
Wilson the biggest one.” 
Miss Angelina was somewhat astonished the 
next morning on receiving the intelligence that 
“her city beau wouldn’t be fed on maple sugar and 
popped corn, if he should come, so she might as 
well keep him away.” 
Now, I am not going to tell you of the divers 
adventures of Miss Angelina; how she fainted 
dead away, or tried to, on meeting a little barm’cfg 
snake in the yard; or how, terrified at a cowon 
her return from a morning walk, she waB found 
perched on the fence, whence she was rescued by 
Charley, who took “Old Biindie” by the horns, 
and led her away, declaring in disgust, that “ any¬ 
one would spose Jinnette never'd seen a cow.” 
Likewise I shall refrain from describing the 
many blunders into which her ignorance of 
country life led her, and pass on to the final 
catastrophe. 
Miss Angelina's “city friends” had refrained 
from visiting her, thus far, partly through fear 
of the dragon, partly through ignorance of her 
locality; but at lust, their desire to visit “De 
Jones' Place” overpowered all other considera¬ 
tions, and under the firm conviction that so well 
known an establishment could easily be pointed 
ont to them, they engaged a carriage and set 
forth. Away dashed the horses, and long before 
the sun had reached the meridian, they had 
neared the residence of Parmer Jones. All their 
inquiries, so far, had been fruitless. Nobody could 
tell them where the rich nabob, De Jones, lived; 
nobody knew anything about him. Seeing a 
man in the field at ™rk, they determined to 
make one more effort, and accordingly bailed 
him. “Could he toll tb ;aa where a rich old fel¬ 
low by the name of De Jones lived ?” asked the 
driver. 
The person addressed leaned on his hoe, sur¬ 
veyed the carriage snd its inmates, while a smile 
of intelligence broke slowly over his features 
It was no other than George Wilson, Miss Ange¬ 
lina’s slighted lover. 
a discontented pucker on his forehead. “ I don’t 
C3re how I do it” 
“I am sorry to hear you say so,”said Uncle 
John, “for he only that is faithful in little things 
can be expected to be faithful in greater things. 
If you do not your present work well, Mr. Bur¬ 
rows will have no reason to suppose you will do 
anything else better. Boys must earn promotion 
to have it I will tell you a story.” 
Ephraim liked Uncle Jobn’B stories, though he 
sometimes wanted to quarrel with Ibeir moral. 
However, he looked no, as mnch as to say 
“Please go on, eir;” and UDcle John went on. 
“A young mao once went into business with 
fair prospects. The firm, however, did no go on 
well. It failed, I thlDk. G. then returned home 
with bare pockets, in quest of employment. He 
met his old Babbatb-school teacher in the Btreet, 
stated his esse, and asked if he knew of any 
opening. ’Not just now,' answered the gentle¬ 
man; ‘but if you don’t want to be idle, and are 
willing to work, I ehonld like your Bervicee In our 
sonp-hoase; the pay won’t be much, but you can 
be very useful.’ ” 
“A soup-bouse” cried Ephraim, “after beingin 
a firm! I hope he didn’t stoop go.” 
A soup-house, as some of yon know, is a great

There's a strange weird land whose shore I have trod 
Full many and many a time; 
It is not of earth, nor the land of nnr God, 
Bnt a faint and shadowy climn; 
It may not bo soon lo the glars of the day, 
When the sunlight comes on ns in streams, 
But only where darkness has slint out his ray; 
’fi* the mystical land of dreams. 
When wearied the body and saddened the sonl, 
When earth seems a dark rule of gloom, 
When trials, like ocean w*ve«, over me roll, 
And I almost loDg for the tomb— 
The enchantment of sleep steals over my sight, 
And my vision with opulence teems, 
With golden-llnsbed fancies and luminous light, 
In the mystical laud of dreams. 
On tho dim, misty shores of that phantom-like world, 
The balmiest breezes blow; 
The fairest sceneB to the eye are unfurled, 
And the clearest of rivers How. 
The brightest of suns on those magical fields 
Throws its warm and its cloudless beams,

Of the mystical land of dreams. 
And when thn spent sun has withdrawn his fair face,

A VALUABLE GRATUITY 
TO EVERY PERSON WHO FORMS A CLUB! 
Tub Agents and other influential and working Friends 
ol the Rural Nxw-Yorkzr, and all disposed to become 
such, are respectfully advised that we have concluded to 
offer very I.IBXRAi. Ixdccxhhsts—(As beat yet offered— 
lor early and active efforts to renew iti present list, and 
add New Subscribers for the enening volume. Our 
reasons for this course are,—1st. Our new system of Mail¬ 
ing by machinery renders it necewary to receive a great 
portion of the list of subscribers for 1861 at the earliest 
possible moment, in order to get them ready for printing 
by the first of January 2d. We are derirous of largely 
extending the circulation and usefulness of the Bubal, 
and willing to pay liberally for efforts which shall secure 
nev rube crib ere. 3d. The prosperity of the People and 
Country ie such that we believe now the best time since 
the Rural wa* eslabllshed to largely incrkasb its circu¬ 
lation; and hence we are willing to forego immediate 
profit in anticipation of a greatly augmented permanent 
list—looking to the future for a gradual return of the 
large amount invested in Premiums. 
— Such being the facte, we inrite special attention to 
the following unprecedentedly Liberal Specific Premi¬ 
ums— so arranged tbat every person who obtains a Club 
of Three Subscribers or more trill eecure a Valuable FriieJ 
kitchen where aonp is made and Berved ont to the 
poor during winter, when food is dear and work 
is Bcarce. 
“ Lei us see bow G. viewed the matter,” said 
Uncle John. “ ‘ Yob, sir, I’ll go,’ was his auBwer, 
for G. was a good young man, and thought no sit¬ 
uation beneath him where he could minister to 
the comfort of others. He went into the soup- 
honse, dealt out the tickets, and the sonp too, for 
aught I know, kept the books, and, In a word, 
managed the business the best he could. When 
the gentlemen who were interested in the soup- 
house met to see what good it bad done, they 
were mnch surprised with ihe mauaerin which the 
accounts were kept * Why, who lave we here?’ 
they asked. One of them wsb the keeper of a 
large hotel. ‘I must have that young man to 
manage my concerns,’ he said. He found out G., 
and offered him a handsome salary to become 
head clerk of his establiahmont. G. earned the 
promotion, you see. He went; but he had not 
been in this hotel many months before one of the 
boarders* the cashier of a bank, said to the hotel 
keeper, ‘that clerk of yours Is a noble fellow; 
how well he conduct* your business,’ and it wus 
not long before tho cashier offered him a better 
situation in the bank. G. went. In tho course of 
time the cashier resigned, and the directors said, 
‘ we can't do better than pnt G. in;’ and so be was 
promoted to that office. And he made ns good a 
cashier as ho had a clerk. This gentleman is not 
cashier now, bnt he fills one of the most respon¬ 
sible post* in the country, and has a character 
shining with integrity and Christian worth. Ho 
did not despise lowly places, Ephraim.” 
“But he had wbat I call luck, good luck,” ex¬ 
claimed Ephraim. 
“But diligence is the mother of good luck,” 
said Uncle John; “mind that, hoy.”— Mrs. II. C. 
Knight.

C bT Answer in two weeks. 
BY KM1I.Y WOODEN, 
Miss Angelina Flora Bell went to boarding- 
school in the city. Miss Angelina was born and 
bred in the country,—a farmer's danghter,—with 
every prospect of spending her days midst the 
vulgar array of mountains, harmonious pine for¬ 
ests, and bright gushing streams; but this was 
just what Miss Angelina determined not to do. 
Our heroine was ambitious; her mind soared di¬ 
rectly upward from her native mountain peaks, 
to a handsome stone front in the local metropolis. 
Hers was no exalted opinion of pastoral poetry, 
—Bhe preferred the romance of city pleasures. 
Well, a* I said before, our young lttdy was am¬ 
bitions, her father's farm was large, and accord¬ 
ingly we find her domiciled at Mrs. Highflyer’s 
“Boarding School for Young Ladies,” with a 
dozen changes of silk dresses, and deliciously 
ignorant of the country and everything pertain¬ 
ing to it, excepting the luxurious furniture of 
“pa’s country seat,” which she assures her com¬ 
panions, will admit of no comparisons with her 
present surroundings. Of course Miss Angrltxa 
immediately becomes an object of envy to the 
whole school,—all the young ladies me dying for 
the light of her smiles. Even Miss Sofhkoxia 
Bigbug, and Miss Arabella Lightfoot, the heir¬ 
esses, who have hitherto constituted the aristoc¬ 
racy of (he school, overawed by the airs of Miss 
Angelina, begin to entertain hopes of more ex¬ 
alted stations to be won through the favor of the 
“rich lady from New Yoik,” as all the students 
style our heroino. 
But Mias Angelina is exclusive. Few and for¬ 
tunate are those admitted to her smiles, all others 
are graciously allowed to stand at a respectful 
distance, and admire aa her highness passes by. 
Miss Angelina is very generous to her friends. 
All share in the delicious fruits “raised in 
pa’s hot-houses,” which frequently meet their 
gaze on being summoned to the rich lady’s room, 
and which prevailing opinion Bays were brought 
by a venerable servant in the elegant livery of 
the De Jones’ but which really came to the city 
in farmer Jones’ wagon, and were left, by Miss 
Angelina’s request, at some convenient station 
to be sent up in the evening by express. 
Miss Angelina goes home for vacation. Miss 
Bigbug and Miss Liuhtuoot had fondly hoped to 
spend their vacation with their worshipped 
friend and patroness at her castle in the country; 
already they enjoy in anticipation the first fruits 
of their Contemplated visit. How delightful it 
will be, to he sure, to trifle away their mornings 
in Miss Angelina’s boudoir, whose furniture and 
hangings of rosy silk,—in imitation of the Baloon 
of some eastern houri,— its mistress has bo often 
painted to their delighted fancy! Then the long 
afternoon drives in Miss Angelina's carriage,— 
with what ecstaeies of self-complacency will they 
recline on the velvet cushions, and survey the 
rustics gaping by the wayside! And oh! best of 
all, a country church,—with what an irresistible 
sitting-room 
directed Mary West, her mother’s help, to show 
them into the parlor, and say that Mia* De Jones 
was engaged, but would be in presently; which 
announcement, however, took a new form in the 
parlor. “ Jinnette says she's busy now, but she 
will come as soon as possible,” said the uncon¬ 
sciously democratic, girl, seating herself to enter¬ 
tain the guests, with whom she was on terms of 
intimacy, for it had never occurred to her, or 
to her associates, that she was any the less worthy 
for her honest toil. 
After some time had elapsed, Mias De Jones 
swept grandly in, and welcomed her guests with 
a majestic bow. Warm-hearted Nelly Hanley 
would have saluted her with a kiss, but waving 
her loftily to a seat, MisB Dk Jones took posses¬ 
sion of a large chair, and bc-gau a very elaborate 
conversation, in a tone which was both patron¬ 
izing and iusulting to her visitors Mary West, 
unthinking girl, had remained iu the room, wholly 
ignoring the system of etiquette which our young 
lady had brought from boarding-school; but an 
unfortunate interruption of Miss De Jones’ 
discourse on her part, brought the full force ol' it 
on her head. 
“ Y'ou may leave the room, Miss,” said her 
would-be mistress, stiffly. 
“Leave the room! I should like to know for 
ILLUSTRATED REBUS, 
Had he a daughter An¬ 
gelina ?” 
“The same,” cried the delighted excursionists, 
“and lives in an elegant country house. Will 
you direct us? ” 
"Certainly,” said the young man, with his 
blandest smile. “ You have hut to follow the 
straight road. The Becond house on the left is 
the elegant country house of Mr. Dk Jonhs. 
Miss Angelina had loitered about all the morn¬ 
ing in an old wrapper, fur from whole, and, withal, 
not very clean. Her hair was in papers, some of 
which had slipped out, leaving the tangled locks 
dangling about her shoulders, while her feet were 
cased in what had once been a pair of gaiters, 
but the “day of their glory had long since de¬ 
parted.” In this interesting guise she stood at the 
door, eating a melon. Engrossed with her occu¬ 
pation, Bhe had not noticed the stylish equippage 
which had stopped at the gate, or the gentleman 
who had alighted and was approaching her; but 
the sudden exclamation of Curley, “Jinnette, 
here is yonr city beau come to see you,” caused 
her to turn suddenly, and Btand face to face with 
one of her most devoted admirers of the previous 
season. There wa3 no mistaking the manner of 
the gentlemaD, or the smiles of her dear friends 
Miss Bigbug and Miss Ligutfoot, who sat in the 
carriage. Miss Angelina saw all, fainted, and 
was borne into the house, while her dear city 
friends returned as they came, Bomewbat wiser 
for their excursion. Miss Angelina did not 
return to Mrs. Highflyer's,— her reign was over.
