MISCELLAY.
THREE PIIASES IN LIFE.
First P/iase-— Content and lite Cottage.
‘ Get along. tlierel—-come, old crook-ho: n,’
it’s time to be at home I--
‘ Get oiitde way old Dan Tucker,
Or you’ll be late to come to stippcr.
Wliew !—whcw l—here Rove, you rascal.
stop bothering them hens! Ah. Pztttv, my
buuuty, here you are——just in time to _ give
us a taste of those cherries on your ph_vsiog-
ttotity.’ (Sm:|Cl{ I Smack! Smack l) -
‘ Pohl how silly you are. One would
think tve were courting instead of being mar-
rlcd over a year, and having a nice, dear,
fat, little baby. But come to supper--~it’s all
ready.
ll'~'_t~ have thus introduced you,dcar render,
to an interesting pair as it was ever your for-
tune to see. Ezekiel Wilson—known, how-
cwt-:-s: ;incc his christéjiting oitly as Z~-ke-—
wasthe son of an honest, pious, COl'll.l'fll.rd
farmer. In person he was well formed,
with an intelligent brow and a merry blue
eye. On that point, it is enough to saytbat,
while Patty Long, the Belle oftlte village,
was besieged by the spruce young men» of
the place, he out distanced them all. Patty
said ‘yes’ at once, with a look that made his
blood run like molten lead through his veins.
They had loved each other ever since with
an aficction that seemed perennial. Tlicuglt
deeply religious, be pnssescd exubt-rant
spirits, which found vein. in merry jokes;
and Patty from morning till night, raised
her bird-like voice, as "she worked in joyful
melody. O. they were a glorious couple!
Their woof of life set-med all woven in gold.
They were happy with their firm, their
chubby, rosy checked boy, and each other.
Their filtyacres which was secured to Patty
and her children, furnished them all the com
forts of life, and they had nothing to ask for.
One evettingthey were sitting, after the
labors of the day, in the porch oftheir tas-
ty cottage, with hands interlocked. g zing
upon the sunset. It seemed like a picture
finished by an Arcliangel’s pencil. with col-
ors mtttle in Paradise. The sky glowed in
crimson grandeur; & the earth with its green
carpeting, its waving foliage, its gt‘X')llc.' flow-
ers, and its balmy atmosphere, joined in the
bttrnished heavens in giving glory to God.
He who said ‘God made the country and
man the town,’ had in heartthc true philoso-
phy. Yct we throng the crowdt-tl cities;
we delight in the dust and turmoil ;we throw
ourselves with headlong zeal into their fol-
lies and fashions; we admire their works
of art, and their mighty men. \Vc have
no eye or heart for the surpassingly beau-
tiful productions of the Almighty.
But stop! what is the trouble with Zeke;
\'Vhile we have been indulging in tin episode,
he has received a letter from the penny-post.
His eye flashes—his brow works. He is
getting new light. His mind has taken its
first leap over the boundariesof his little farm.
Content is dethroned, and hence forth Ezv k-
iel Wilson is it voyager on a stormier sea,
or we yield our faith in Lavator. Let us
use the writers privilege, and look over his
shoulder:
DETROIT (Mich.) Oct. 6, 1836.
My dear Ze/re ;—-My advice to you is to
come to the West. This is the place to
make your fortune, my boy. Land is doub-
ling itsclfin value every day. I bought
some yesterday for fifteen hundred dollars.
which I have sold to day for three thousand.
Ihave made ntuch better operations than
his, and am already independent. Come
on Zeke, come on. It is the garden ofEdc-n.
Bring with you all the cash you can ratfc;
it will net you a thousand per cent. IA til
you delve away your life on that miserable
fifty acres till you are hunch-bucked and
grey-headed, when you can In 8 year milk‘?
your fortune .7’ -
I When he had read thus much. Zeke han-
:ded the letter to Patty, and thus dPp.I'lVP_(.I' us
ofgiving all the inducements _conta.-inedsin it,
;us well as the name of the. writer.
‘Well, Patty-—hem—whttt do you say to
it ?’ said Zeke. after she had perused It.
’ing of the world, and should be cheated at
.evr-ry step; and for -my frail’! am well s-ttis-
d to remain he'."_e. Tum iitaysncer atour
_far:n. btit if lt€"C0l)lLl only $08 how thriving
‘our com and potnfv s are. how lat our cattle
look, and how happy we are, he \vould’nt
ltlllf SO.’ ‘
‘Ah, well, my dear.’ responded Zeke with
a sigh: ‘I have no doubt you are right. But
how that boy b.twls—-do stop his noise.’
A tear started in his wife’s eye. She un-
derstood ‘not the philosophy of his new"
harshness, but she meekely did his bidding.
His heart was rebelling agtiinst. the provi-
dence of God, and. he was fast learning to
scorn his hiitiible position in life. His days
of song and peace were over.
Zeke will go to the west. Mark otir pre-
diction. will find nojoy in the music of
his sweet wife's ctirroling, no cttlirmess in
communion with his Maker, no pl»-asure on
his beautiful ftirin. The fiitherfs heart will
bound no longer to the chirruping of his
baby-boy. He will cast hintst-lf on the
mighty billoiv that has ruined thousands.
Second P/tasc—— l'l"eaIt/2. and [lie Pa/ace.
Detroit the capitol of Michigan will be
nne of the most l)e:tutllttl pl‘-lCt‘S in the Union
as its inhabitants tire already among the no-
ble.-t of their kind. Tiil.-on, as it were, by
storm front the healthy Fteiich resitlcnts the
shrewd Yankee is giving it rank rapidly ti
tiiong the “lost; and with its t*l]lt'|'pl5t', and
position, it will ultimately be the I'll/ill of
many that are now far in advance.-.. Comt-
let us take a ramble through Jefferson Ave-
tiue. VVh.tt a superb promenade! Rvally
instead of being in the ‘fir West,’ one might
imagine he was in New York Brotdway.
The ladies are as bi-autiful—tbe-y trip along
as daintily—their ‘bus ’ hem——iu short.
th:-y are perfectly charming. Btit -ha!
what! why here are Zeke and Patty I We
said it would be so. And really though we
feared for them, th*y look so elegant and
so aufztit in their silks and broadcloth, that
we begin to think our alarm was groundless.
When we saw Zeke in Detroit-—-and we
did see him there. for this sketch is no fiction
—he had acquired the reputation of being a
man of fortune. fiemeiiibt-r this was in I836
when the land fever raged, throughout the
country. and in no state more violently than
in Micliigan. There, by the aid of skilltul
draftsmen, the forest that hztd stood‘ untouch-
ed for centurivs' changt-d suddenly to supérb
cities. ‘Rivers rit-allittg the Mississippi,
flowed by every town. while the W-I01‘ priv-
ilt-gcs. surpassed anything of the kind ever
dreamt d of.
Z»-kes’ first experiment was rather dis-
couraging. When II6,ill'!‘lVt'(.l at his? bt'ticl,a
gentleman took him aside’ and with great
kindness told him that he felt it to be his
duty to warn hint against the multitude of
shiirpersivith wbichthe plaice was thronged.
He then procet-ded to give him some hints of
the way these fellows would attempt to oper-
ate upon him. Zeke felt profoundly grateful
and so expressed himself. He told him
frankly his olj-‘ct in going to the We.-t.—
His new friend replitd:
‘Understand me, my ‘dear sir. VVhile I
warn you against sharpers, I do not mean to
intimate that by prudent foresight, and by
dealing with honest men, ' you can make
money. On the contrary in six months you
may be in=le-pendent. I kiio-.v it by t‘XpcI‘l-
er-.ce. And if it will b- of the slightest. s--rvice
to you by way of a full’ start in your new cri-
tcrprise, I happen to have some twenty lots
in the city of Upper Siginaw to spare, which
I will sell you. They are doubling in valui-
every day, and were it not for the strange in-
terest I feel in you, I should be untiilling to
port with them. There is the park and Marc
isthc Court House. In these corners are the
Churches. The railroad, you perce-ive,runs
directly through the city. As the water
privileges are uncommonly great, it must be-
come an immense manufaicturing place -
T/tis is the Saginaw river. and is navigable-
by the largest class of vessels.’ A
'lVhat do you ask for those twenty lots .7
inquired Zeke, his eyes sparkling.
‘As I said before, I had a little ruther keep
them, but as I want you should have a chance
to begin well. I will puttheni at five bun"-lred
dollars. They are the tnost. valuable in the
city as they are wharf lots.’
The bargain was closed, and Zeke took
chase. He found the city. It was an un-
broken forest. His twenty wharf lots were
in the bed of the Saginaw river, some fifteen
feet under water. But this was in his no-
vici.tte. He learned something by experi-
ence.
Zeke be-came rapidly rich; at least so he
and others honcstly fancied. His credit was
without lititit. ‘ The name of Ezvklel Wil-
son was good for any amount, and his note
at. the bank of Michigan, was never discuss-
ed by the Board of Directors. . He had his
splendid house his carriage, his wines, his
servants, his parties, Patty to be sure was not
quite so happy; she pine-d secretly for the
woodland. the bower an] the peaceful cot-
tage. ‘
The crash ctimc. Everybody remembers
that terrible revolution. Banks, credit, spec-
ulators and merchants all toppled and full to
the earth together. Zeke’s beautiful bubble
burst with the others. He became at once
iniscrably. wretchcdly poor.
Third Phase —Ru.in Rags and Reform.
At. twelve o'clock at night in the city of
Detroit sat a care worn and heart-broken
-wife waiting the return of__her drunken bus-
lband. The hovel. for it was no better, was
Elocated in an obscure street. The storm had
lalready driven the hats and rags from the
windows, and was finding its way through
sundry crevices in the roof. She laid her
'Say!polt, hc’s wild. We know noth-

was a prttver that must be ‘heard. She ask-i
ed for no blessings on herselfsave faith and
patient endurance; but for her husband she
wrestled with deepest agony and (oxides; de.
votton. As she prayed her hopes gathered

effiiltle glory of the highest---and with joy

‘God grant it I’ groant-d a hollotv voice.

timidly said: ‘

I will get you some tea.’
‘ ‘No Patty no. lain a miserable wretch.

Whit! :1 glorious picture was Patty at that
tnoment. She stood therc’like a statue, ga-
zing tip on l'tf‘l'._l‘IllSl)at'lCl with sparkling eyes_
and lip parted and bosom heaving, and tears

cheeks. When he paused, she gave a scream

And then withouta word did she gently
draw him down by her side on his knees;
and with her arm around his neck and his

ANIMAL INS ".‘INC'I’.
A friend, who returned not long since
from a tour through our Western country
has relatcd to US a toucliing instance of

he got. an ax and began striking at the oak

and began to lick his wounl. This had the
