Hope is an anchor to the sotil,
A bulwark for the mind,
A wayiiiark to the tempest-toss’d,
A day-star for the blind.
A ray where all is darkness,
A beam where all is dim,
A bziliii when full is sorrow’s cup,
\Vhen it o’crflows the brim.
A breeze of buliny fresliness,
VVhcii pestilence is nigh,
A solace to the wounded heart,
VVhen pity’s fouiit is dry.
A glimruer of celestial light,
\‘Vlien nought of earth can cheer,
A glance at bliss where all is bright,
Soothing as nicrcy’s tear.
True to its purpose as the star
O’cr Bcthlelicm's manger set,
Radiaiit as lights and shadows sweet
In lie'.iveii’s rainbow met.
It lives when all else droops and (lies,
And gilds beyond the tomb ;
Assures the soul of endless light,

MISCELLANY.
ORIGINAL ANECDOTE.
Shortly after the first republican constitti—
tion of the State of New York was framed,
and the judiciary systt-in was established for
civil depariuicnts, the supreme court or that
branch of it called the ‘ctrcuttcourt,’ misap-
pointed for one ofthe circuits in the county
of Duchess, and the eccentric Judge Crane
was to preside. Judge Crane was very
wealthy, and highly‘ respe't:'t'etx‘iu'r‘nts“pubh-
and private virtues, especially for his chui'i-
L-IIJICIICSS to the poor; but he always appear-
ctl ina plain garb, and would hardly ever
wear an over coat, whatever the weather
might be, and it was seldom that he rode
when he went abroad. although he owned
many valuable horses. On the morning oi
the dry in which the court was to I)t’glll,l.llt‘
Judge set out be;ot'e day and walked gently
on, through rain and snow, to the place ap-
pointed. On arriving at Poughkecpsie, coin
and wet, he walked to a tavern, where he
wand the laiidlady and her servants were
making large prt-p.tratioiis for the entertain-
mcnt of the judges, lawyers, and other gen-
,[,.men, wliotii they expected would attend the
circuit court.
The judge is as determined to have some

to come to court, and I have walked through
this drcafllul storm more than ttventy mllcs.

something to eat before the court begins,
when the landlady put herself in a iiingt:Ie-
rid] posture, and putting on a countenance‘ of
contempt, said I0 the Judges Y0“ 53)’ Y0“ lie
wet and cold dry and not; how can all that
be’! No my dear iuadaui says the Judg, I
said that I was wet and cold, and ifyou pid

the landlady. Itold you the truth, sayslhe
judge, the whole truth and nothing but,;ihe

Iwant Sotnelhlrlg to eat and somelhiig to

lingly go to work a little while,il Icouldgnly
getsoauething to drink and a bite of good
victuals. Well, old daddy, says she,l}0w
uiuch do you want to drink? Haifa of
brandy, madam, says he.» Very well,g'ays
she, I will give you halfagill and sonitgotd
victuals if you will go into the buck'y,ard
and cut and split three ariafuls of tvoougtnd
bring it into the kitchen, where the serl,iT__nts
want to make a good fire to dry the g:tle-
men’s great coats when they come and tar
you get your victuals, I shall want yhfi to
go away. Well says he, give me the gan-

price deniantled. I told you said she, I
would give you cold victuals, and there is
cold boiled ham, cold pnrkand bet-f, cold po-
tator-s and turnips, and cold vinegar, picklivs,
and soup, and ifyou want anything bi.t,lhere‘
is mustard and pepper and here is good
bread, good butter and good cheese, and all
good enough for such an old rag muffin‘ as
you are. It is all very good, said he pleas-
antly, but madam be so good as to let inc
l:a\’L’.S0lllc new milk, warm right front llir
cow, to wet these good victuals. The cows
are not milked, says she. Then let int.‘ have
t1 botvl of cold milk, said he. I will not
send the servants in this storm to the spring-
liouse to skim it for you, said she. Silld he
,with a pleasant smile, dtar uiadam. I have a
good wife at home, older than you are, who
would go out in a worse storm than this, to
milk the C0\‘.S, and bring the milk to
the poorest min on earth, at his re-
quest; or to bring the milk from the spring
house, cream amt all tail/tout sl.'i77uni7:g, to
feed the most illlj ct of the human I'i‘lLIL‘.—"'
You have it very good wife at home, says
she. Indr.-rd I have, said he, and she keeps
my cloths clean and whole, and notwitli
standing you call me "an old niguiiifiin,” I
_;im not ashamed to appi-at‘ abroad in thi-
clothes I wear, in any good company. Well
I must confess, says she, that when you have
your broad bl‘ltl'lmt.'(I fiat off you look mid-
fiiing well, btit I want you to eiitanil be off,’
tor we want the fire to dry the gcutlenicn’.-
gr:-atcoats and umbrellas by; and among
the rest we expect Judge Crane. Judge
Crane. says the judge, who is Judge Crane‘!
The circuit Judge, says she, one of the su-
preuie judges you 0 d fool.
V.'l'ell, says the judge I still bet a goose,
that Judge Crane has not hal, and will not
have a great coat on his back. or an utnbrel-
la over his head this day. You old goose,
said she, I care noting for your bt'IS. Eat
and be off, I tell you Judge Crane is to be
h--i‘e,and we've no room for you. I don’t care
sail he, one rye straw more for._Iudge Grant:
than Ido for myself, and it has got to be so
late that if he has to come. at this time of the
day, he would more likely go directly to the
court house, and stay until dinner time, than
go to any tavern; and if business was very
urgent, he would be vtry likely toistay a-
way even from dinner. I know something
about the old codger, and some people say
he is a rusty, fusty, crusty old fudge. Pretty
talk in feed, says the landlady, about the su-
prcnie judge. Now eat. you; cold cheek and
be off, or be off without eatirig, just as you
‘please. Itell you says the judge. Judge
Crane is not the supreme judge, and if he
were, he is no more fit to be a judge than I
am. Well now be off with yoursel, says
she. Don't be in so great a hurry, said he,
1'txt-3l_dl'J- : 1.!\’.lSlt, to know who is the landlord
here?‘ ‘I wish to know whi.-re he is? He
is the high Sheriff of the C0l2t't'._\‘, and won‘t
be home-till night: but if he were here you
would not stay long. \Vell iiiadauie, givi-
_us a cup of cider to wet my victtials, if yoti
won’t give me milk. Not a drop, ‘says bu
ladyship.-The judge who had iiotv got pret-
ty well warmed and dried, and wished for
his breakfast, put on a stern countenance and
positively declared he would not leave the
room and fire until be pleased. But added
be, if you will grant my ri--quest, I will eat
and be off The cider was imuiediati-ly
,brought and the judge partook heartily ofttie
pollution before him, took his broad brim-
ined hat, and gently walked to the court-
house, where he found good fires and clean
floors, and during the court hours he presi-
ded with dignity and propriety.
‘ Vlfhcn thcjudge withdrew, the landlady
‘-lanxiously looked after him for some tiiue,as
‘lie walked steadily on towards the court
house, supposing him to be some poor man,
suinmoneil up to court as a witness, or some
culprit, or some Vagabond who might give
her further trouble in time of court, and ex-
rcssed to her servants a desire that they
would see that he did not disturb the gentle-
man and thejudges who migfzt put up there.
While some of the girls declared ii he did
come, the-y_t\'ould use some of his own ex-
p_ressions, which he used respecting Judge
Crane. Let me see, says one, ‘rusty, fusty,’
yes. and ‘crusty old fudge‘ says‘ another.
When dinner was announced the court not
being tbronged, was iirimediately adjourned
and the day being so stormy and cold, the
judges and lawyers poured into the sheriff's
tavern, where they were sure of good fires
and good fare, all exceptJudge Crane, _who
walked to a store and purchased a valuable
shawl, and put it into his pocket on the in-
side of his coat; then walked quietly to the
tavern. While he was thus detained the
landlady entered the dining room and earn-

But as the Judge was of a singular turn
in almost every thing. and had taken a- fancy
that it a person eats light food at the same
meal, and that which is ntorc solid and
haidcr ofdigcstion, that the light food should
be eaten first; he therefore filled his plati-

did not observe that any one excepting the

great indignation.
The Judge W IS reiriarliable for not giving
unnecessary trouble to any body \\'ht'l‘e he
put up, and generally ate whatever was set
before him without making any remarks;
and seldom made use of more than one plate
at a meal; but at this time he obserted near
him a dish of beautiful raw white cabbage,
cut tip and put into vinegar (which the low
Dtitch at Poughkeepsic call cold slaw, and
which he called sallad) and he wished a
separate plate to prepare some of it for his
own fancy. The carving and serving was
not yet finished, when he expected a_ clean
plate, and when the landlady arrived at thi-
door ofthc dining room, determined to drive
him out. She advanced with a firm step to
the door, and fixed her keen eye sternly on
the Judge, when be turning his,t-ye that way
and observing her. mildly said, ‘Landlady,

the answer was, ‘not yet madain,and perhaps,
he may not come.’ The landlady, who was!
anxious to pay the highest respect to the su-
preme judge retired to the kitchen not a lit.-
tle chagrined, or disappointed. In the mean
time thejudge arrived, and being at proper
times very sociable, and at all times fond of
cheering the minds of those present, he be-
gan to make some pertinent remarks; and to
tellsome lively anecdotes, intended to con-
vey good morals; which set the whole coni-
pany inan uproar of laughter. And at this
instant, one of the waiting maidsientered the
room to inform the gentlemen that they
might sit down to dinner. She did her er-
rand and hosted back to her mistress with
the tidings. that the old fusty fellow with his
broad brimmed hat on, was right in among
the bareheaded gentlemen, talking as loud,
as he could, and all the lawyers and judges
were laughing at him. Then go, says she,
and whisper to the old man that I wish him
toconie into the kitchen. The errand was
done accordingly, and the judge in a low
tone of voice said to the"-girl, tell your mis-
