lily was the only ingredient that constitu- tion ofground that perhaps bore the title
of Revolution Hill, an’! it may be owing to
the adaltx--ration of modcstyjn more modern
inhabitants, that at the present day it bears
a more vulgar and uncouth appellation.
This was one of the most romantic spots
tbro-ighoiit the country, being surrounded
by a grove, and on its highest point the
wild shrubbery sprang up in one phalanx,
through whose bosom was an occasional
intricate path formed by its wandering, but
now extinct aboi-i jIl'H?S. This place was
such a one, as lovers would select, to inter-
cliange protestations of never ending love
and everlastiiig'firlelity. Just entering the
extreme part of this place, by one of its
circuitous routes, (as the moon was pre-
senting its luminous body above the hori-
zon.) leading to its most elevated part,
niiglit have been seen a yoiiiig couple care-
lessly and quietly moving along as if speed
was a mere secondary consideration in
gcnd, and wlicre we will leave him for the
ffutiire. _
Ezra Hale was the only descendant from
this branch of the family, and as a matter
ofcoursc inherited the property of his pa-
rent; and at the time of the dissolution of
his sir:-, he was about the age of t iventy-
two; consequently he came in possession
of his wealth immediately.
He was a person of good intellectual
faculties and naturally of an unassuming
and modest disposition; but the ti':1ining
and forming his faculties received during
his infantile days, exerted a i_zi'eater influ-
ence over him, and crc:ited within him
cliaracterisiics, perhaps entirely contrary
from those his nature would have dictated.
Sitting upon’ a small settee that nature
had produced in juxtaposition with a small
rivulet that wandered with all the sublimi-
ty and carelcssnesss of nature, through
the eastern extremity of his hereditary
abode; soliloquized this youth with a
bombat air, and 22021::/mlent feeling, unac-
companied with any of the strivings of a
ltrrergnanimons character, or aspirations of
natiiie’s genius.

’Tis well, and I the deed approve,
Though mine must be the mystery
That gathers round a hopeless love.
Adieu, if we may meet no more-—-
Adieu to loves‘ enclianting spell-
Adieu, sweet charmer of my heart,
A long, a lingering farewell.

you will have to surrender up an account
of your stewardship with short noiii:e, for
rest assured i never can bestow my affec-

and winning manner.
This conference, however, was not of
long duration, but Ezra H:-ile retired to
rest with aching head and a burning fever.
iAnna Sweet was a person that had lived sev-
eral years,and knew w.-ll how to manage her
a airs. Ezra Hale was young, proposes-
sing, and in good circumstances, and to
be the husband of Anna was her determin-
ation, and her friends. it required but
little skill to manage him, and those that
were to pull t':e wires bad old and

A CHAPTER. ON “FITS."
131' ICIIABOD ’~"' * *
There are numerous short: phrases which by
some means are put. into circulation and for a
time are “ all the go,” and pass almost as cur-
rent as bank bills. For instance-——-“ notliing,
else,” “yes sir-c-e,” and a multitude more, and
among the rest “ he gives ‘em fits,” or he has
“ cauzght fits,” at pres-:i:it his all the rage. Thus
we say it a l.t1W).'el“l3 very severe on 3 witness
“ he gzves him tits. ’ If it girl gives a young fol-
low “ the niitl'teii” and he cannot get; it off his
mind, but is gro\'.'ing wcrsc, and is continually
waiidcrii:-g about in a gloomy state of mind, ex-
amining every grape vine that comes in view to
see if it is strong enough to hold him, or looking
at the -edge ofsliarp st:-mes with the serious in-
tention of cutting his throat, then we say "she
has given him fits.” Ifa person in ligliting gets
well “ bciifeii up” then we say “ he has ciiuaht
fits.” Ifa horse refuses to draw,thon we Say
‘he is tit-v.” There is scarcely any limit; to
the use oftlin term “ fits."
Any pr‘r.-:01) passing through Cbatham street,
N. Y. will notice the numerous clothinrr stores
in the vicinity of the square. which area mostly
kept by .1 cvrs (we make no allusion to the Edit-
or of the ".7)emoc'raif,”) and whovin tlieiranxie-
ty to soil will frequently come out into the street
and almost pull you into their stores. It hap-
pene-:l some time since that a young man who
in piissing had been frequently annoyed by them
was ui-gr.-,l in to buy clotliing. He looked at
several garinen."s and among toe rest, asuporliuo
coat, and was rnqucsted to try it on. He did
so, and was told Lliitt. it was an excellent “ fit.”
Suddenly he was taken with violent convulsions
and dreadful crampings——-fell on the floor. rolled
across it continually, and seemed to be in‘ great
agony. Alter " coming to,” to concluded norm
take the coat.‘ It was in a sad condition after
moppirzg up the tobacco juice and mad, with
which the fl::or was covr-i-ed, but as there was
no remedy. they had to “grin and bear it,”
which they did with sorrowful lookingfaces,onn
ofthein rein:-irking to his companion. as the
stranger passed out, “I rink dera other folks
make fits beside do tailors.”
A young man of my acquaintance, attending
an evening party, happened to say or do some-
thing oil‘.-nsive to anovergroivii man, who struck
him ii. blow b-..-mveori his eyes which knocked
him down and made him ace more stars than
are generally visible with the naked eye. He
got up as soon as possible, coolly remarking to
his antagonist, as ho was gntliering himself up,
“I don’: know as you have fits, neither do I
know that they are “ ltetcliing," but this I do
know, that you have given me fits.”
A certain doctor once said “ that when any of
his patients were sick, no matter what their
complaints was, he always endeavored to get:

eye of the traveller would be called lo the
attention ofa neat. and beautiful farm house
situated upon a side hill, SUl‘l'0l1Il(.l€(l on the

meandered a clear rivulet, with |l.S zig-zag:

agreeable residences to be found tliroii,qb-

those desiring seclusion and retirenient.
Another feature too, requires notice, and
appeared to be in keeping with its happy
unassuming inlial-itants. They were not
so elated and dignified as to change the
name of their vill.igs=, in order to keep
pace with modern pride or as some might
think modern entcrprizc, lint retained the
simple and beautiful appellation bestowed
upon it, by the ab.')rignes. In the compact
part of this village, stood a neat and bean-
tiful country cottage, occupied by a physi-
cian who had gained afiluence in Southern
cliines, but had removed North to pass
the residue of his days in peaceful retire-
ment. Ellen Hillar, “as the only dangli-
tcr of the retired physician, and the man-
ner shc had been brought up by her aux-
ious parents, was something perhaps exer-
ted an influence over her in siibsequent.

VV-alter Hale was a person, such as we
often find in community, professing’ to be
on the greatest terms of intimacy with his
Maker. yetjiidging from his department,
and dealings with his fellow creatures, you
would as soon think of finding the princi-
ples advanced by tbe Saviour of the world
within the soul of a heathen, as within his.
He was a person who always stood upon
his christianity, which consisted only in
verse was the point he was striving to at-
tain. But whether his opinion in regard
to the education of females was founded
upon a permanent basis, or whether it was
not like many others based upon error,
will be more fully developed in the sequel.
But to hasten on with our short sketch
we will have to imagine Ezra Hale arrived
at his place of destination. which was no
other than the abode of Ellen Hill:ir.——

son has entered upon his ninety fifth year,
aml his wife is five years older. This
aged couple have eiijoyczl the sweets of
matrimonial connection lising sei.-may one
years. 'l hey were married soon after the
battle ofBunker I-lill. Soon as the dark
clouds of_ war began to lower around,
young Pinson, full of vigor and patriotism,
was among the first to exchange the quiet
and peaceful lire side, for the “ roar and

Europe near a century and a.quarter ago.
Tliey have been blest with five children,
'two of whom still enjoy the sweets of ce-
libacy beneath the paternal roof. The
grand, great grand, and great great grand
children are too numerous and sattered to

hearty, walks erect with but little appar-
ent fatigue—-converses fluently,intelligent-
ly, with much salisfni-liori and pleasure-,
ofthe time that tried rnc-n’s souls. In a
word, he isa living history of the past
century. The old lady enjoys the use or’
all her faculties, save hearing, to a remark-
able degree. ’ .

azine estimates the number ofmen “whose
home is on the deep,” at between two and
,three millirns. In the vessels of the Uni-
itetl States there are supposed to be about
275,000 sailors. In consequence of the
peculiar exposure to which this class of
men are subjected, it is found that the
length ofa generation iS"a'nout 15 years,
and that some six thousand, on the aver-
age, every year perish by shipwreck.
Four hundred and eleven marriage licen-
ses were granted in Cincinnati during the

be said :——-
