The Old, Old Story. Summer moonbeams softly playing, Light the woods of Castle Keep And 'hero I see a maiden straying, Where the darkest shadows creep. She la listening meekly, purely, To the wooer at her side j Tis the "old, old st jry," surely, Running on like time and tide. , Maiden fair, oh 1 have a care ; Vows are many truth is rare. r . i .... ' , He la courtly, she Is simple ; Lordly doublet speaks hi lot ; J V She is wearing hood and wimple Hi the castle, heT the !ot. Sweeter far she deems his whisper Than the night-bird's dulcet trill ; She Is smiling ha beguiling 'Tis ths old, old story," still. Maiden fair, oh I have a care; Vows are many truth is rare. The autumn sun is quickly going Behind the woods of Castle Keep The air is chill Ui night wind blowing, And there I see a maiden weep. Her checks are white her brow is aching, The " old, old story" sad and brief ; Of heart betrayeJ, and left, nigh breaking, In mute despair and lonely grief. Maidens fair, oh I have a care ; Vows are many truth is rare. . The Wife. On earth, to man, there is but ont His heart can lore his soul can own ; Though myriads flit befor his view, There is but one to whom he's true That one can sway him to and fro ; Can make him drain the cup of woe ; Can give him joy, or blast bis life j And that one's1 name is simply wife. But in that name a world is sphered, A world by all beloved, revered, ; Who Lave the sense to know its worth, And spurn th gaudy joys of earth ; For that full heart in her dear breast If rightly prized eternal rest Is not with blissful sweets more rife, Than that pure heart a loving wife. . MISCELLANEOUS. The Sorrows of a Moneyed Man. AN triSODC Ot" THE PA. MO. One morning, not many days since, Mr. Von Mull' conceived and executod iht idea of rising at five o'clock. To th great disgust and indignation of Mrs. Von Muff he continued the practice ; to use her own words, he deprived her of bleep, and ex posed her to a cold draught before it was light." . ... She followed him one morning, and found him in a Maw of extreme dishabille, reading the Times. . "So thu is your occupation, is it, that you deprive um of my rest, and destroy my health? Are you not ashamed of yourself, Sir? .Why can't you read the papers after lrcukfat, like other I oiks, th?" Because there's a panic, Felicia,' and I want to lind out who were attacked with it yt sterday." :. ? Fauio, indeed ! you're enough your seu to give anyone a panto, l expect you will have to bury me before long, if this sorl of treatment is continued. Then 1 tuppotse you wilt be overjoyed." . My dear Felicia, don't agitate yourself. But really, our financial condition is fright, ful. Nobody trusts any body. I feel quite alarmed, for, as you know, my mon ey is all in the blunderbuss Bank, and if that should burst !" ' Serve you right if it did. you fool ! Why don't you put it into thu Waterspout Bank ? that wont burst." No; but there rnay be a run upon it," Draw put the money altogether! then, ud lock it up iu an iron I'hcst," " Why, you see, if I did that, tho peo plo would luugh nt me ; though, upon tny soul, if this punic continues, 1 must." " Really, Mr. Von Mull', you are the most inexplicable- person I ever encounter, ed. Hero we are, it seems, on the verge of ruin, and yet you hnvo the heartless ncwi to gi t up nt five o'clock, an sit litre quietly for three hours almost in n stnto of nudity, reading tho papers. I'm di.-jyu.it. ed with you, fcir. What uro you gazing at? Aro you going lo nmke no Hfbrt to save your innocent family fro :i destruc tion ? Will you sit there forever doing nothing but rending tho pnpers everlast ingly reading the pnpert ?" Von Mud' tnndu no reply, but dressed, breakfasted, and took his leave. As ho opened the front door a well-known voice called after him from thu top of the suii : ' Josep'.i !" ' Yes, tny dear." ' " Draw that rconey out of the Blunder buss Bank this very Jay, if you don't want to fi .d yourself wifeless and childless within a week !" With this awful threat ho disappeared, and Joseph hailed an omnibus. "Ah ! Von Muff, how d'yo do?" "Good 'morning, Crokur. Dreadful times these. What's the news V "You've seen tho morning pnpers? Enormous list of fuilures. Can't stand It much longer, Sir. Every tiling mubt go you and I must go every thing gener al smash up." ' " Good God ! you can'l mean It. Surely the rity banks are safe. I have a hundred thousand deposited." .. "Draw it out. al pnee, then. Don't hesitate don't loso an instant. Perhaps you're too Inte now. Get gold nothing but guld or you're lost. That's all I've got to say." Von Muff pulled out his largo red pock el handkerchief, ntid wiped the preparation from his face. lie remained silent over como by his reflections. When he left the omnibus at Stone Street, Crokur put his head out of tho window, and called af ter tho retreating capitalist, " Attend to that at once, Von Muff, or consider yourself a ruined man." ' ' Von Mi'ff en'.ered his odice in Stone Street terribly! perplexed. He found Scrummage there Scrummage, who knew tne financial condition of every in stitution in tho country. " ell, Scrummage, how are the banks? " Bjund to go before long. I givo 'em a weeic. " What! do you think so, too, Scrum mage ? And the Blunderbuss ?". " No better than the others. Got mon ey there ?" , " Yes." : " Then draw it out immediately ; thui's my advice." And oil' ho went to counsel some other bewildered mortal. Von Muff began now to realize the panic. To think was only to make mat lers worse. He rushed into the street in frantic alarm ; as he hurried along he saw an immense crowd of people before the doors of tho Waterspout. " What is the matter here?" Ho tim idly inquired of a by slander. , " Uuu on tho Bank." "Good Heavens! you don't say so?" And onward he hastened. Two men, talking in an eager, excited way, dashed by him the next m mient. He caught the word, " Blunderbuss ;" this wua the cli max of bis agony. Ho directed his step at once to the bank where his treasure was deposited. The quifl and repose that'surrounded that veteran institution somewhat reassured hiin. His fenrs, however, were not to be dispelled. "This is the calm," he said to himself, "that invariably precedes the storm. There is deception iu it. 1 am just in time." So he entered; drew hi money in gold, and with the aid of tever ral porters and a cart, had it conveyed to his otfiee in Stone Street.' Anrirof immense satisfaction perva ded Von MufPs round, good natured face, when ho saw the last twenty-dollar piece deposited iu h'a safe ono of CLisselhem's great iron, patent, everlasting safes. No fear of that bursting. He lighted a C'gar, and puffing forth the smoke in a long sue cession of wreath, he turned to Feekes and Sturp, confidential clerks of many yenrs' standing in tho liousj of '( u .Muff & Co., and whispered : "All right now, boy t; lot the banks break if they like, and be to theui 1" It was, of course, necessary that the large amount of treasure recently trans, ferred to Stone Street should be watched at night, otherwise a burglary hi the third decree might be as disastrous a the break'. ing of a bank. Von Muff himself, with the enthusiasm of a raw recruit, declared he was ready to moun jruard for a foru night ; he could obtaiu sufficient sWp in the evening and the morning before snd after the fulfilment of his nocturnal du ties; and those accammodatin; rlerks, Ftckcs nr.J Sturp, consented io assist him, on condition that they should bo supplied with brandy and figure a dixcrttion These preliminaries being settled, Von Muff went home to dinner. Ho looked round upon his fellow citizens with the air of a man who had just ahiercd a coup a'ttat. Von Muff experienced a special glow of prido that af crnoon on entering the portals of his spacious intuition in tho Avenue. In tho evening hu returned to the office, taking with him, for defensive purposes, tho musket with which his siro performed prodigies of valor in tho Hev ulutionury war. Ho thought it prudent to inform his wifo, through tho domestics, thnt he would not return homo until tho following day. The first night's watch passed off toler ably well. Cigars un I stiff brandy and water wero provided, and tho guard were kept awako partly by tho liquor and part ly by mysterious noises, lilio the picking of locks and other burglarious sounds. Un more than onu occasion Von Muff brought up lii-i musket lo tho " present,'' and took deadly nim at tho knob of thu door, und his two attendants nervously handled thu revolvers they bud borrowed for tho emergency. They hud no occa sion, however, to uso thu'r weapons.- Toward morning, Von Muffloukcd very haggard mid futigued. Ho felt " con foundedly dono up" as ho himself express ed it; so, ab)ut six o'clock, after a shuvo and a mutton chop, he ensconced himself in his arm-chair, and fell asleep. But neither to attitud j nor th"? place were suited to a comfortable snooze. I'eople, too, commenced to pour in, . for the news of his night's watch had by this time ex tended throughou'. tho whole business community, and tho utmost curiosity was manifested to know the result Repor ter of newspapers, especially, were ur gent iu their demands for Vou Muff's own statement of the facts that had trans pired. " Well, Von Muff, how do you feel af ter your night's work ?" " Is your mon ey safe yet? How is it done up in bag ar kegs?" "Take my advice, and never lose sight of it again sleep on it." "Good Heavens! you don't mean lo say that you deposit your treasure in one of Chissel hem's safes I Might as well fling it into tho Hudson 1" "Keep up your spirits, old boy, tho panic will not last over six months, and you can watch it out!" These, and a multitude of similar re marks, from solicitous visitors, disturbed the equilibrium of Von Muff' mind as much as his vigil had disturbed the equi librium of his body. Ho was, therefor, ill at easo when, late in the afternoon, he found himself at home in the Avenue. Mrs. Von Muff took no notice at first of her spouso's dejection, but iu thocourso of dinner sho abruptly broko out: "Mr. Von Muff, may I nsk if you've been drinking, for your conduct is inexpli cable r' "My Jenr Felicia, I was tip all night, and am really quite worn out. I must take some sleep before I return." " I thought this would bo the result cf tour freak. A pretty exhibition you are making cf yourself before your family! It would certainly be .the wisest step you could take to go to bed." Von Muff thought so too, ' A frightful yawn, that he tried in vain to repress, rather hurried his movements, and he withdrew without further remonstrance He had scarcely been asleep an hour, however, when ho was roused lo con siioucneas by Mrs. Von Muff, wfio ap peared to bo alternately shaking him aud punching his head. " Do yiu hoar that ?" she yelled ; " do you tear that?" "hat? rubbing his eyes, and fully awakened to the presence of hi spouse, if not to any thing cite. " What?. Why, the fire-bell, you deaf odder It has been ringing eight this half hour. A pretty time for you to be keeping when, probubly, your offjeo is in ashes, and wo arc all beggar'." " Good Heavens! you don't tay so! Where' in v hat and coat?" and out ho rushed recklessly, leaving his wife in tho middle cf a sentence. Yen Muff hurried down town at the top of his spefd. He asked every body whom he met, in a wild way, where the fire v a?; and some wag, wh" recognized him, call ed out, " Ston fctreet." This answer Dearly drove him mad. His perturbation, when he reached the head oi the street, and found it actually bockaded by fire men, was overwhelriiinfir. ' He knocked people about, right and left, and wheu1 he reachrdhi office, aud found that the fire was round the coroer, tho reaction nearly produced an onouleitic fit. He tank into a chair, faint and exhausted with his exer tions. The watch that night was a painful one. Neither Von Muff uor hi aMistance could h!p falling asleep. Brandy and water oniy muuo mv;u m i c drowsy, NO. 1. They nodded at each other lik manda rins, and cvpry now and then Von Muff would start from a dream, in which h lind been nn important spectator of the robbery of his own safe. Ho passed an agonizing night; and when morning dnwnod he looked as though ho had beeu dragged by tho legs along a corduroy toad. " Slurp;' " Yes sir." " I feel as if I couldn't put one leg be fore the other. 1 can't stand this sort of thing any longer. I think I'll take tho money back to bank this morning." " 1 hone you will, Sir." " I'll think over it, Sturp." Toxin entered the office about leu o'clock. Toxin was ono of the first vic tims. Tho panic had left its impress ou his face, and his solo occupation now was to alarm other people. " Von Muff!" ho shouted. " Is that you, Toxin ?" was the faint answer from tho inner office. "How d'ye feel, old feller!" " Fairly douu up." Well, 1'vo como to tell you that you must immediately get a now safe. At tho fire hist night, one of Chisselhem'a snfes was burned to cinders, and poor Fl ipper lost ten thousand iu bard cash I" " You don't say so!" " Yes, 'tis a fact.- Good-by." Poor Von Muff was now utterly be wildered. His money weighed hiin down to the earth, and tho fears for its loss that ho felt in other days were light in com parison lo the responsibilities and perplex ities that tormented his soul now. He visited the banks, to see if any of them would accept his gold as a special deposit, but they all refused. lie even implored the Waterspuut institution, upon which there had been such a run, to take pity on him, but without avail. Finally, he re solved to pocket pride, and re-deposit his money in tho Blunderbuss. . His mind was relieved from on appall ing weight, when this was done. , A se vere trial, however, remained. How should he inform Mrs. Von Muff ot the courso he had pursued? He approached the subject, timidly, aa soon as he reached home. " Felicia, my dear !" well r " I havo sent the money back to lank " What I to the Blunderbuss I" "Yes." Upon my word, if you aren't a fool, and worse, 1 don't know who is !" " But what can I do ?" . " Do J Can you sit there and delib erately tell mo that you don't know what to do with your money, when your wife and daughters are positively going about in rags ? No wonder there's a panic, if all men are li'te you !" History sayeth not what response, if any, Joseph Von Muff made to this par ticular attack of his spouse. It is prob able, however, that he was too experienc ed a h isband not to find safety in flight. The next morning Mr. Von Muff learned, to his despair, that all the bank, including the Blunderbuss, had tvtpetutul specie payments l Two Irishmen who were traveling to gether got out cf money, and being ir, want of a drink of whisky, devised the following ways and means : Trtrick, catching a frog out of a brook. went ahead, and at tho very first tavern he came to asked tho landlord what sort of a craitur that was ? " Why it is a frog," said the landlord. M No sir, it is a mouse," said Pat. " It is a frog," replied the landlord. It is a mouse," said Pal, " and I will leave it to the first traveler that ceine along for a pint of whisky." " Agreed, said the lnuulord. Murphy soon arrived, and to him was the appeal made. After much examina tion and deliberation, he declared it to be a mouse ; aud the landlord, in spite of tho evidence of his senses, paid tho bet. " Mother, where' Bill V . " My son, don't let me hear you say Bill, again. You should say William." " ell, mother, where' William ?" " In the yard feeding tho ducks. " Oh, yes, I see him now. But, moth er, what makes the ducks have such broad willinins ?". " Go out wi;h your brother, directly, you little scamp, or Fll box your ears." " Did you say that my brother Jim didn't know as as much as Smith's yellow dog I " ;o, I said Bmrth s yvllow do knew more than your brother Jim. ... -1 Are thoso bells ringing for fire!"' in-; quired Simon of Tiberias. " No, iudocd," answered Tib ; they have got plenty of fire, and the bells aro now ringing for water." A kiss, ays an ingenious authority, is like the creation, because it is made vt 1 nothinj aud ii very good. I' , a 1
