MISCELLANEOUS.
A Hard Case. —A Yankee schoolmaster;
ft teacher of Chirography—not long since lo
cated himself in Renssær County N. Y. and
commenced a school under the most favorable
auspices. He gathered round him a score of
pupils-—most of whom were of the fairer order
of creation. One, in particular was, we under
stand, a very angel in features—one of y
beautiful country maidens« who spring up in
their seclusion, fair as the wild flowers of their
native vallies. As mighe have been expected
she played iniquity with the heart of the school
master. Day after day he sat by her side, guulecl
her taper fingers, and felt her dark tresses light
ly sweeping his cheek, as she leaned with him
towards the manuscript. It was too much—
human philosophy could not stand it. In a
luckless moment, he pressed his lips to her
cheek, imprinted upon it one of those kisses.
In which
"The lip will linger like some h
Sipping a favourite flower."

Original Anecdote. — A few years ago,
a couple of Dutchmen upon the high hills of
Limestown, though very friendly, hud a dread
ful falling out about one killing the other's dog
for which he sued for damages. They were
called into court, and the défendent in the case
was asked by the Judge, if he killed the dog:
«* Be sure 1 kilt him said the Dutchman put let
him prove it." This being quite satisfactory,
the plaintiff in the case was called on to answer
a few questions; he was asked by the Judge, to
what amount he estimated the damages; he did
not understand this question so well, so to a
little plainer, the Judge asked him what he
thought the dog to be worth. "Be sure said he
the dog was wot noting, but since he vas so

BISHOP ENGLAND.
Previous to the late city election, the r able and
eloquent Catholic Bishop (England) of Charleston,
issured, through the medium of the newspapers, an
address to the Roman Catholic citizens of Charles
ton, with a view to guard them against the preva
lent evils of a time of so much excitement. It
written with great ability. He exhorts Ins bred.re »
to exercise their civil privileges conscientiously, to
examine the intricate questions
Carolina, for themselves, and to act according to
their best judgment. He warns them against im
proper influences, against intemperance, bruwls and
riots. It is a powerful appeal to the moral and re
ligious tenting of his brethren, and might he read
with grëut benefit by others besides those whom the
Bishop addresses. We quote the following passage.
Spirit of the Age.
" Of all the spectacles which are humiliating to
the jnst pride of an honest republican, I know of
no one so galling, as to behold his fellow citizens

Let no one speak to me of the existence of one

love of God is the spirit of religion: it lifts man a

was never before so near the brink of clestruc

natural death, for want of nurses. Her. streets
are lumbered up with goods; the people who
have not left her in despair are jostling each
other about the streets* and hurrying to and
fro, demented; her manufactures make few or
no goods except to order: real estate has not
risen more than thirty-three per cent, within
the last eight months: and, in short, consump

ble shape, that even the prophetic croakers who
once made the city musical though melancho

their harps, and wait with gloomy satisfaction
