An Old Story In a ew Dress.
'BY. F. E. FINER. .
'"I tell it as 'twas told' me.": .
A very long time ago, in the western
part of .Lnland, there Uvea an aged
couple, whose' time had passed away since
early youth-, in the every round: or farm
life, arid who had nevef been Vnown to
have the' least ill-feeling towards eaeh
other since the time when good old parson
Iferiot had united them in the holy bonds
'of wed look, twenty -five years before.
bo well was the fact of their conjugal
happiness known,', that they were spoken
of , far arid near,- as ' the happiest pair
known.' Now, the Devil (excuse, the
abrupt. mention, cf -his name)' had been
trying for twenty years to create'what is
commonly called .'.'a. fuss in. the family,"
between those old; companions. .'.But much
to his mortification, he hid hot been able
to induce the old gentleman to' grumble
about breakfast' being late onfce, or the old
After repealed efforts the devil became
discouraged,.
, .and had he not. been a person
of great determination he would doubtless
hare given up the work in despair. .One
day as he walked along, in a very surly
mood, after another attempt to get the old
lady to quarrel about t'he.pfgs getting into
the yard, he met an old woman, a near
neighbor.' of the aged couple. As Mr.
Devil and the neighbor were very par
ticular friends, they' must needs stop on
the way to chat a little.
'Good morning; sir," said she, "and pray
what on earth makes you look so badly
this beautiful morning, isn t- the contro
versy between the churches doing good
service V ' . ' .
"Yes, isn't Deacon W. making plenty
of bad whisky ?"
"Well what is the matter; . my highly
honored master.1' " . .
'Everything ' else is roin2r on well
enough," replied the. Devil, "but,' and
here he looked -as sour as a moniiey on a
crab apple tree, "old Blueford and his wife,
over here., are injuring the cause terribly
by their, bad example, and after trying for
years to induce them to do better, I must
say I consider .them hopeless." . -
The old hag stood for a moment m.deep
thought. "Are you sure that you have
tried every way ?"
"Every one I can think of.
"Are you certain?" ' '
"Y'es."
"Well," replied she, -Vif- you will pro
mise to'make me a present of a new pair
of shoes, in case I "succeed, I will make
the attempt myself , :and see if I can t raise
it. .. i .
a quarrel DeiVeen Uieiu.
To this '.reasonable request the Devil
gladly consented. The old hag went her
way. to neighbor Uludford s house,' and
found bid Mrs. Blueford very, busily en
gaged in getting things ready for her
husband's comfort on his return from wotk:
After the. usual compliment .had passed,
the-following dialogue took place
W ell, friend li., you and Mr. 13: have
lived a long' time-together.".
'Five and twenty years come next No
vember," replied Mrs. B.
And in all this tiriie -you have never
had the least quarrel," '
"Not one." ' " ' .
"I arn truly glad to hear it," continued
the hag, "I consider it my duy to warn
you, that though this is the case, yet you
. f PYT,prt t ,l,vnvs TTnvp vnti nnt
mUSl llOt expect 11 always. liave ) OU IlOl
observed of late Mr. B. has grown peevish
, ' . ... -
and stillpn at times.
'Avery little so," observed Mrs. Blue-
ford.
' "I know it."' continued the hag. "and
let me Wam 'OU in time to be Oh VOUT
guard." ' '
Mrs. B. did think she had better do so,
and asked advise as to how she ought to
manage the case. ' . .
':'Have you not noticed," said the hag,
'that your-husband has a bunch of. long,
coarse hair growing on a mole under his
chin, on the side of his throat."
."Yes."
"These are the cause of trouble, and
as long as they remain you had better, look
out. Now, as a friend, 1 would .advise
you to cut them oiF the first time you get
a chance, and thus end the trouble."
-If you say do so, I will," .replied the,
'
credulous old lady..
Soon after this the hag started for home,
and made- it. convenient to meet Mr. B
on the way. Much the same talk, in re
lation to his domestic happiness, passed
between them, as did between the old
women.
But, friend Blueford," said she, . "I
think it my duty, as a chrisfain, to warn
you to be on your guard, for i tell you
your wife intends your ruin."
Old Mr. B. was very much astonished ;
yet he could not wholly discredit her. words.
v hen he reached home he threw himself
upon a bed in great perplexity, and feign
ing sleep, studied over the matter in his
own mind: ' His wife, thinking this a good
opportunity for cutting, off the obnoxious
hair, took her husband's razor and crept
softly to his side. . Now the old lady was
very much frightened at holding a razor
so close to her husband's neclc, and ner
hand was not so steady as it once was; so
between the two, she went to work very
awkwardly, and pulled the hairs in
stead of cutting them off. Mr. B. opened
his eyes, aud ihere stood his wife with, a
razor at his throat! After what had been
told him, and seeing this, he could not
doubt that she intended to murder him.
He sprang from the bed in horror ; and
no explanation or entreaty could convince
him to the. contrary. So" from that time,
forth, there was ho more' peace' for that
house. It was jaw, jaw, quarreling and
wrangling all the lime. '
With delight the devil heard of the
success of the faithful emisary, and sent
her word that if she would meet hioi at
the end of the iawn, at a certain time, he
would pay. her the shoes. . 1
At-the appointed" time she repaired to
the spot, and found the devil at the place.
lie put. the shoes on the end of a long
pole and, standing on' the. opposite sidecf
the fence, handed them oyer to her. .She
was very much pleased with them ; they
were. exactly the article. '.
"Hut there is one thing Mr. Devil, that
I would like to have explained that is.
why you hand them to me on that stick?"
"Very easy .to explain,"-replied he,
"any one who has the cunning and mean
ness to do as you have, done don't get
nearer than twenty feet of me." . So say
ing, lie fled in terror." . .
After a while the .old woman died;, and
when she applied for admittanceto the
lower regions the devil would not let her

Jane Wade, a girl about 2ft years of
age, was. sentenced to roar years im
prisonment in the Connecticut State
Prison, by the Court in New London
county, tor stealing -a -horse', iter time
of imprisonment expired last October,
when she was employed 'by a family in
Weathersfield to do. housework. In March
last, the family finding she was accustomed
to stealing, turned her away. ' 1 requent
ly, since then, they have missed articles
about the house, and found evidences that
some persons had been about the premises.
They finally discovered Miss .Wade in the
house, and she acknowledged that she had
been there frequently and slept in the ash
hole at night. But her strangest adven

One night last week, she scaled the stone
wall that incloses the prison,. by climbing
a tree. The wall is about 20 feet high.

kitchen, which is separated from the.male
prisoners, and is not guarded at night.

last, she. snored so loud, in her ash bed as
to attract the attention of the matron, and

having broken into the State Prison, in
