it has passed over as prosperously as the most sanguine
friends of the institution could have anticipated. The
number of pupils at the close of the last half year was un-

Esq„ (the respected Treasurer.) one in the middle
school, value eleven guinea. ; and Alderman Molyneux,
(one of the Vice-Presidents, and a donor of the munifi-
cent sum of £1,000) two in the lower school, value three
and a half guineas—each accompanied by handsome
books. A variety of psalms and chants will be sung, in
the old antiphonal style, (now so seldom heard,) by the
pupils of the middle and lower schools, which cannot fail
to produce a pleasing effect. Under the circumstances,
and recollecting the crowded attendance upan the former
occasion, we readily conceive that the lecture-hall of the
institution, although capable of holding a larger audience
than any building in the town, will not contain the ap-
plicants for admission on Tuesday next.

Lord F,

BEING A GENTLEMAN.---lt was quite amusing, a day
or two since, to see a white man sawing a cord of wood,
while a black fellow stood looking on, with his hands in
his pockets, giving directions. The gentleman to whom
the wood belonged just stepped up and asked Pompey
why the white man was doing the work which he (the
black) had been engaged to do? " Cause me hire him
for de job," said Pompey. " Air ! and bow much do you
give him ?" " Four and sixpence." "How is that?
you are to have but four shillings, the usual prize."
" 0, nebber mind, it's wort sixpence to be gemmen leetle-•
while!"

AN EVESHAM GHOST STORY.—The Rev. J. 2.q.
Neale, in his book called " Hierologus or the Church
Tourist," vouches for the truth of the following tale as
far as he could vouch for the truth of " anything at which
he was not present himself." "A gentleman was return-
ing to his house at Evesham, one summer evening, in the
late twilight. When a short distance from the town, he
saw, on the spposite side of the road, a friend, whom he
well knew to have been for some years dead. Excess-
ively terrified, he quickened his pace; the #igore did the
same ; he walked slowly ; the figure did the same; he
walked quicker ; the apparition followed his example. Ste
the pair kept on, till they were almost in the town, TAM
the gentleman in question saw two ill-looking fellows
crouching down at the side of a hedge, and heard one of
them say to the other, "It won't do, Tom ; there are
two of them.' Shortly after passing these men, the ap-
parition vanished. Some time subsequently it was dis-
covered that the two men had for med a design of robbing,
en that particular evening, the gentleman whom I have
mentioned, and were only restrained from doing so by the
belief that he was acenn-in,,,,;.,10...
