"Did the gentleman never see old a

as if astonished at the obtuseness of the ti
interr'ogator. tl
. All was now as clear as daylight, and ti
resolving. themselves into a committed
of the whole, under the shades of the
night they sallied out to perpetrate their:
great design. -
As they Were getting into.:the yard, e
an old countryman, wit lj5_ftof an
overhaul dress on, and a# er: his u
m,.addressed. the -stude'nts with, til
"Halloa young gentlemen-whats's the Ii
fun ?" "Going to rob old; Prex's, hen-- cl
roost;" was the answer.' t
"Oh ! that's great, Won,t the old ?l
President look blue in the-morning?" b
said the rustic. h,
The entrance to the ,coop was small, It
and the chairman of the comniittee ofthe fr
whole selected the slimestofthe company it
to. enter, complimenting hu-with the as- si
surance, that if he were a ferret he could a
not better succeed. c
.'Go in,, ferret;" and the youth went
id.-Soon he appeared with a fine rooster, a:
and very coolly strangling the fowl, C
'Here's old Prex !" said he. al
"Here's a bag," said the farmer, is
"put old Piex in it !" ft
* The "ferret," so called, again appear-' it
ed with. a hen. - Holding it up to the "
light, "Oh, ho ! this is Mrs. Prex. a
This is what I call-~female barbarity,"
said he twisting off: her head.
"Hand along Mrs. Prex," said- the r
countryman,.opening his bag. nt
Some half a dozen of the worthy ri
President's fowls were in this manrmer
consigned to the rustic's bag.
Jon't. you think there's enough on Cl

that- there was,. ri

"After all ssr trouble !" sighed the a
" ferret."
"Ot TEMPbii! o MORES. " ejacu* -
laced all with common sympathy.
The students retired to their rooms d
pt quite so elated as when they left 1
them., ti
After the morning lectures, each of I
the six students' received from the Yen- d
erable president a very polite note of in- f<
vitation to dine with him that day. Each ii
student as the janitor slily slipped (the r'
note into his hand, involuntarily et- g
claimed, What. is here?. Heigh ! an
invitation to ME- Ah I ha! old Piexdont n
know what I've been doing. Hang it, 1
its too bad. He thinks I am a fine fel- 'h
low, andh as taken this way toshow i've 1
done.'
This may be taken as the substance '
of the cogilations of each of the invited.
All felt sorry, that the confidence of the
old man was so misplaced.- Dinner hour
came. A situdent called ~on the presi
ident and tiok his seat; soon another r
came-how was this'. And another and ,
another until six were there. Soon as the
table was set, the old man invited his '
company wvith much suavity to be seatef ni

ard of an incident of the- battle of Cerro ,fb

ciended.
It was whe the enemysa fortidcations

thted up with'.the red dashes 6f their
moon, that- a youth, not -exceeduang a

brought his rifle up, and just as he level

ed his rifle, but drawing a bee-line upon e

a companion in arms "I reckon that m

apparent portion of the lady' was being bit

slipped between the sufferer's back and
the cage, and the remainder of her person
separated from the fragments which could
not be extricated ftom the grasp of the wild
beast, but to the surprise of the terrified
spectators, it resulted in a discovery that

Melancholy End.-Young Semmes,
who some years since shot Professor Davis
at the Virginia University, brought his life
to an end by his own hand, the morning
of the 9th instant, at the - hause of his
brother in Washington, deorgia. He
shot himself with a pistol, the ball eate
ring the.left eye and penetrating the brain
and lingered in a state of total insensibility
from about 7 o'clock, A. IM., when the
family was called to his roam by the
report of a pistol),,pntil half past 1, ?. M.
of the same day. When his loom was
entered, he was found in a chair, placed
at a table. A pistol was lying across his
lap, and on the table was an open- razor.
On the table was also found a note,stating,
in the form of a certificate, dated July 9th,
1847, that his death 'was occasioned by
himself, and was brought about either by
pistol or razor.
Cure for' the Raulevnake'E Bite.-In the
year 1750, a slave in South Carolina dis
covered a remedy for the bite of the rat
tlesnake, fur which the Legislature of the
State obtained his freedont, and granted
him one hundred pounds in money. His
remedy is as follows
"Take of the roots of Plantane or Hoar
hound (in summer, roots and branches
together,) a sufficient quantity, bruise
them in a mortar, and squeeze out the
juice, of which give as,soon as possible,one
large spoonful; if it is swelled, you must
force it down the throat, .This geerally
will cure; but if the-patient.8nds no relief
in.arhour after, you may give another
spoonful,.. which never has failed4 But if
the roots are dried, they must be mole
tened with a little water.. To the wouid'
ba a1'd a :leaf ogood obacco,

times. onemen ad'dogs, and ;hey 'have
invar ly rjecovered.
Antidote Jar the bite of d Rtrlde-Snaled
-An intellbgent lady from Tioga couity,
Pa.,'informs us that the settlers in that
section of the country care little for the bite
ofa rattleslesnakie.-She states that apiece
of common indigo, made into a paste with
spirits of comphor and applied to the
wound, will prevent' any serious conse
quences 'occurring, ,aud in fact at once
neutralize the poison.
Plant Trees.-Gerard, a quaint tiut
earnest writer, who -lourished long since,
gave. his fellow men the following gobd
advice. It is as good and applicable now
as then:
"Forward," says he, "in the namue of
God, graft, set, plant and nourish up trees I
in every corner of your ground ; the labor
is small, the cost is nothing, ; the dowt
modity is . groat; yourselves shall have
plenty ; the poor shall have somewhat in
time of want, to relive their necessity ; and
God shall reward your good minds and
diligence."
In a village of Piton a peasant's wife,
after a fong ilness, felt into a lethargy.
She was thought dead, and being only
wrapped in linen, as was ctustomary among
the poor, was carried to the place of inter
ment. On the way thither,- .in passing
some briers, the body got scratched, and
bled:profusely, which caused her to revive.
F'ouraeen years after they took her a se
cond tinte to be buried,.wheu the husb'and
exclaimed,' EFor Heaven's sake, take care
of the brierse!"
Pemate Loquacity.-1ean Paul says,that
a lady officer, if she wanted to give the
word 'halt,' to her troops, would do it some
what in this wise-"You soldiers, all of
you nowv mind, I order you ats soon as I
have finished speaking, to stand still, eve
ry one of'you, on theapot, whore you hap
pen to be ; don't you hear me T halt, I
say all of you !"
