The song -was ended, but up struck the Fid¬ 
dler in his best style, the reel, “Jenny Dang the 
Weaver.” 
“ Hey, ye devils 1 ” cried Sandy. 
“Scotland forever!” cried Jamie; and in an 
instant, tables, chair 3 and glasses were scattered 
in all directions, and the whole party dancing 
and jumping like madmen. 
Out ran the affrighted Professor, (for he did 
not know what might come next,) up came the 
landlady with her terrified train of inmates. But 
none dare enter the room, the hurrahs and 
thumps on the floor being so boisterous; and it 
was only upon the entry of a Scotch traveler, 
who had just arrived, and who cried to the Fid¬ 
dler for any sake-to stop, that order was restored. 
It is needless to say that the Professor paid 
his bet cheerfully, and was fully convinced of 
the effect of Scotch music when properly played, 
and that the landlady took care that the Fiddler 
never came into her house again on Bums’ an¬ 
niversary dinner.

“ Not exactly,” said the poor captain. “ The

“ Oh, the doctor says it will settle into a pur¬

“ Oh, he does, does he? ” said the captain ab¬

“ Not for a moment.”

Come, listen all unto my song! 
It is no silly fable ; 
'Tis all about the mighty cord 
They call the Atlantic Cable. 
Bold Cyrus Field he said, ear* he, 
I have a pretty notion 
That I can run a telegraph 
Across the Atlantic Ocean. 
Then all the people laughed, ax.tl said, 
They’d like to sec him do it; 
He might get half-seas-over, but 
He never coaid go through it i 
To carry out his foolish P‘ nD 
He never Would be AWe; 
Be might as well go hangbimeelt 
With his Atlantic Cable 1 
But Cyrus was a valiant man, 
A fellow of decision; 
And heeded not their mocking words, 
Their laughter and derision. 
Twice did his bravest efforts fail, 
And yet hie mind was stable; 
He wasn’t the man to break his heart 
Because he broke the cable. 
“ once more, my gallant boys 1“ he cried 
“ Three limeff —you know the fable,— 
(I’ll make ittMrty,'’ muttered he, 
“But what I’ll lay the cable.”) 
One* more they tried— hnrrah I bHrrah I 
What means thiB great commotion ? 
The lord be praised t the cable's laid 
Across the Atlantic Ocean t 
Lcmd ring the bells-for flashing through 
8ii hundred leagues of water, 
Old mother England's benison 
Salutes her eldest daughter! 
O'er all the land the tidings speed, 
And boom, in every nation, 
They’ll hear about the cable with 
Profotindest admiration! 
Now long live James, and long live Vic, 
And long live gallant Cyme; 
And may his courage, faith and zeal, 
With-emulation fire ns; 
And may we honor evermore 
The manly, bold and stable; 
And tell our eons, to make them brave, 
How Cyras laid the cable! 
We can never dance the 
tempe ranee 
the condition ol the race, 
crime 
erty, broken-hearted women and starving chil¬ 
dren might then he met at every comer. 
But in spite of all that these arch-conspirators 
can affect, it is refreshing to read the daily 
records of crime in onr midst, showing that as 
yet the rnm influence is still a tremendous 
power. Even since we took up onr pen to 
write this tirade, the cheering news comes to ns 
of the murder of Ellen Hicks of Westchester. 
She is said to have been a most estimable young 
lady, and on the very eve of being married. She 
bad done nothing whatever to provoke the 
assassin, but be, being filled with alcohol, must 
needs kill some one, and fate ordained that she 
should be the victim. 
“O, mother! I am shot. — 1 am dying,” ex¬ 
claims poor EUcd, as she falls, weltering in her 
blood, the ami6 of her sister Alice lovingly en¬ 
twined about her waist.' 
Fitzgerald, the murderer, says that if he shot 
the' girl he bad no Intention of doing fio; tbat he 
does not remember doing so.' This is because 
he was nnder the influence of rum-at the time; 
it always produces 1 hat effect,, often inducing a 
man to kill his dearest friend. 
In conclusion, we urge upon the friends of in¬ 
temperance the necessity of taking some imme¬ 
diate action to prevent the spread of these 
abominable temperance societies. Unless some¬ 
thing is done, it will not be long before ninety 
per cent, of all the crime, pauperism and sufl'eri 
ing will have disappeared; and if a rumseller 
should then dare to set np in bis present lawful 
and respectable business, he will be consigned 
to such a depth of infamy that the highway rob¬ 
ber would be considered a perfect gentleman 
compared to him. Bomoteltbe.— N. Y. Tat(Irr. 
A Wedding Fee. — “Many and many a year 
ago,” how many deponent 6aitb not, a youthful 
couple appeared at the gateway of a parsonage 
of a town not ft hundred miles from Harvard. 
Mounted on a sober nag, they also claimed com* 
panionehip with a bag, evidently filled with 
some valuable commodity. Dismounting, the 
gallant youth left his lady and the bag, and pro¬ 
ceeded up the avenue of elms leading to the 
pastor’s door, and entered the mansion. Soon 
re-appearing, he waved liifl hand to the waiting 
damsel, at the same time calling, In stentorian 
tones, “Come along, be says he will take 
beans! ” Guiding the 6teed to the door, the 
lady was received by her would-be lord, and 
60 on "the twain were made one flesh,” and the 
minister was left Sd the possession of a goodly 
supply of beans. 
A Missouri paper announced a Bhort time 
since that the “wife crop in Gasconade county 
yielded 15,000 gals.” The next week the editor 
came out with an “ erratum’—for wife read wine.” 
Garters with diamond buckles are worn with

SCOTCHMEN AND SCOTCH MUSIC. 
A gentleman wbo was a first rate performer 
of Scotch music on the violin, spent a winter at 
Exeter, and of course soon became acquainted 
with the musical diletauti of that place. Din¬ 
ing one day with a professor, the conversation 
turned upon Scotch music, and a strong argu-' 
ment arose as to its bearing competition with 
foreign music; the Scotchman, whom we shall 
for the present designate the Fiddler, insisted 
that, when properly played, nothing could excel 
it; the professor on the other hand, insisting 
that it was only fit for the barn-yard. 
“I’ll tell you what,” says the Fiddler, “I’ll 
lay a wager of £5 that if a party of Scotchmen 
can he got together, I’ll make them shed tears 
one minute, sing the next, aud dance the third.” 
“Done,” said the professor, “and if yonr mu¬ 
sic is capable of that., I will not only pay you 
the £5 with pleasure, hut will he convinced that 
it is the most enlivening, pathetic, and best mu¬ 
sic in the world.” 
The difficulty arose as to getting an opportu¬ 
nity for a trial. But this was soon obviated by 
a third party informing them that a number of 
Scotchmen dined annually at the old

Yes, those abominable Temperance Societies! 
If there is any one abomination more abomina¬ 
ble than all other abominations, that abomination 
is comprised in the abominable temperance so¬ 
cieties. 
Look at the increase of members in these 
societies during the last lew years. They may 
be counted by millions. There is scarcely a 
village or hamlet to be found in The United 
States which has not been invaded by some 
apostle of temperance and a society organized. 
Bnt this thing has been going ou quite long 
enough. It is high time for the friends of rum 
to arise in their might, and crush out these pes¬ 
tiferous societies. Unless something shall be 
done, and done quickly, it will require bnt a 
few years more, if they continue to increase in 
the same ratio they have of late, for the temper¬ 
ance men of this country to be in the majority. 
And should this deplorable event ever occur— 
why, it makes one shudder to contemplate the 
awful consequences! 
Chief among the evils which would inevitably 
result, as a national calamity, may be mentioned 
the almost total loss to the country of some of 
her most splendid institutions, erected at a cost 
of millions of dollars, and which are now the 
pride and boast of American civilization. We 
allude, to onr State prisons, our penitentiaries, 
our jails, houses of correction, homes for the 
friendless, orphan asylnms, alms houses, and 
various other benevolent and eleemosynary in¬ 
stitutions which are now kept up at a yearly 
cost of millions of dollars. 
The total annihilation of these magnificent 
institutions, we feel assured, is the object at 
which the temperance men aud women are aim¬ 
ing. In a word, sly as they keep it, they aim at 
revolution; bloodless, it is true, nevertheless 
revolution. They are nothing but conspirators, 
conspiring against the rights of the rumseller 
and the drunkard — rights the dearest and most 
sacred to the human race—the right of the rum¬ 
seller to eoiu money from the tears and agony 
of women and children ; the right of the drunk¬ 
ard to beggar and disgrace his family, to become

London Hotel, on the anniversary of Burns’ 
birthday. This was a capital opportunity for 
the Fiddler; for these young men, being prin¬ 
cipally rawboned, overgrown Scotch lads, who 
had recently left their own country to curry tea 
in the heighborhood, were the very ones upon 
whom he was sure to make ft hit. 
All being arranged, and the utmost secrecy 
being agreed upon, the eventfnl day was anx¬ 
iously looked lor. At length it came, and the 
Fiddler and Professor, by an introduction to 
one of the party, got an invitation to the dinner. 
There were twelve altogether sat down’; and a 
right merry party they soon became; for the 
whisky toddy was not spared when the mem¬ 
ory of any of Scotia’s bards was toaeted. The 
Fiddler was not long in perceiving that he had 
got among a right musical set, and he waited pa¬ 
tiently until they were fit for anything. At 
length he gave a wink to the Professor, who at 
once proposed that his friend should favor them 
with a Scotch tune on the violin. 
“Capital, capital!” cried the whole party. 
Tbe violin was brought, and all were in 
breathless anxiety. The Fiddler chose for his 
first tune, “ nere’s a health to them that’s awa,” 
and played it in the most solemn and pathetic 
manner. 
“ That’s a weefn’ tune,” said a great, big, raw- 
boned youth to his next neighbor. 
“It ie that, Sandy. There’s meikle in that 
tune, man. It reminds me o’ aue tha’s gane, 
Jamie,” at the 6ame time giving a deep sigh, 
and drawing his hand over his long, gaunt face 
to hide the tears that were trickling down his 
cheeks. 
The Fiddler with his keen eye soon perceived 
that before he got through with the second part 
of the tune he would have them all in the same 
mood. He therefore threw his whole 6onl into 
the instrument, and played the tune as he had 
never done before; and 86 the last four bars ol 
the tune died away like ft distant echo, there 
was not a dry cheek amoDget the company. 
Now is the time, thought the Fiddler; end with¬ 
out stopping a moment, struck up in a bold aDd 
vigorous style, “ Willie Brew’d a Peck o’ Maut,” 
Mrs. Markham. “Come with me and I’ll in¬ 
struct you how to give him change in his own 
coin.” 
Shortly after the ladies had retired, Oapt, Wil¬ 
son, pluming himself on his stratagem, was 
shown into the drawing-room. He had but¬ 
toned his arm up in his coat, and the left sleeve 
hung empty, while he counterfeited a halting 
gait, and put a large piece of plaster On his left 
cheek to cover an imaginary sabre-cut. 
In a few miuntes, Mrs. Markham appeared. 
“ Returned at last 1 ” cried she, warmly shak¬ 
ing his hand. “ My dear Paul.” 
“There’s not much left of me—little better 
than half,” said the soldier. “I left my poor 
arm in the East Indies.” 
“ Poor, dear Paul,” said the lady. “ And how 
is your leg?” 
“Very poorly.. I am troubled with daily ex¬ 
foliation of the bone.” 
“ Poor Julia! ” sighed Mrs. Markham. 
“ She will be much affected at the change in 
me, will she not ? ” asked the captain. 
“ Oh, dear, no! I was thinking of the change 
in her 1 ” 
“ Change in her! ” 
“ What I haven't you heard ? ” 
“ Not a word.” 
“ Ah! I see—she was afraid to write to you. 
She has lost all her beauty.” 
<iy eE _you know she was never vaccinated.” 
“ Never vaccinated ?*’ 
“No—and she has had the small-pox very 
badly. Poor Julia. She has lo6t. sight of her 
right eye. Her face is very much discolored. 
Her nose is terribly red.” 
“A red nose.” 
“Yes. It doesn’t matter so much about her 
eyes—she wears blue spectacles.” 
“ Blue spectacles and a red nose! ” exclaimed 
the captain, 
“ But you don’t mind that. Beauty is noth¬ 
ing,” said Mrs. Makbam, who was ravishlngly 
beautiful herself. “ You love Julia for her heart; 
you always told her so. And as you are 60 
maimed and disfigured yourself, why, you can 
sympathize with and console enob other. You’ll 
he a very well assorted couple—three arms and 
three eyes between you.” 
“ And a red nose and blue spectacles!” groaned 
the captain. 
“ Hush! here comes Julia,” said Mrs. Mark¬ 
ham. “ Don’t appear shocked. Julia, my dear, 
here’s the captain.”
