ORA good story is told in the Philadei-
phia Eagle, of a landlord, who finding the
refrigerator in his yard, in which he was ac-
customed to put woodcock and other nice
ties, for cool keeping. was occasionally o.
pcned, and the choice things, distracted,
substituted one night some big swapping
turtles for the smalcrgame, and then watch
ed the result. In due time the cpicurean
thicrariyed, lifted the lid, quietly inserted
his hand IN the accus'o med spot, and 10 il
was instantly gripped by the snapper. The
marauder roared with pain, the snapper held
on, and the landlord on the watch roared
with laughter. sill finally learning by excla-
nations, '' I'ee caught him, I've caught
him. collected bis boarders, he led them
into the yard, and there they found lie wo-
begone epjcurian philosopher, with the snap

T.HE OXEN POT.

Apot lay by amur muring brook
And hole was in its side;
Like many halfforgotten thing,
Or flowers at eventide.
The wind brushed by with gentle tone
: That comes with evenings hour,
When squealing pigs run home for swill,
And dews embalm the flowers
And there it lay--ih poor old pot
Had baked its farewell beans;
And withher now who used to bake,
Twas only "good for green's
Flowers doomed around, and Natures hand
Had placed around that pot
Nice Cabbages and onions too,
And meek ''forget-me- not
The brook swepton with pleasant sound,
Towards the fierce black sea;
And all things spoke in gladstone voice,
Deserted pot! but tkee.
The body cracked-it told no more
OF beans and pudding past,
But over menory's viewless shrine,
A pair Of trowsers cast.

ODD lpEA.--A correspondent OF The

and speaking of the height of Trinity

of very respectable height, it is no extraor-

The power OF kindness. in schoolfeach.
mgs is BEAUTIFULLY illustrated in the follow.
ing anccdoie, which we extract from the
answer of Hon Horace Mann TO The Re-
oinder OF the Masters. "In town not
thirty miles from Boston, young lady,
who aimed at the high standard of governs
ing without force, and had determined to
live or die by her faith, went into school
which was far below the average, in point
of good order. Such were the gentleness
and sweetness of manners. and intercourse
with her pupils, that, for few days. there
was nothing but harmony. Soon, howev-
er, some Of the older pupils began 10 fall
back into their former habits of inattenton
and mischief. This relaps met with ten
der vel earnest remonsirances, and by IN
increased manifestations of interest in them
But 1t was soon whispered among the
transgressors that she would not punish.
and this added at once TO their confidence
and numbers. The obedient were seduced
into disobedience, ana the whole school
seemed rapidly resolving into anarchy
Near the close Of one forenoon, when this
state of things was approaching crisis,
the teacher suspended the regular exercises
Of the school and made an appeal, individ-
ually, to her insubordinate pupils. But
finding no hope giving response from their
looks or words, she returned 10 her seat.
and bowed her head, and wept bitterly
When her paroxysm OF grief had subsidized,
she dismissed the school for the morning.
After intermission she returned, resolving
on one more effort, but anticipating, should
that fail, the alternative Of abandoning the
school. She found the pupils all in their
seats. Taking her own, she paused for
moment, to gain strength for her fiuaI APP
peal. AT this juncture Of indescribabs
pain, several of The ringleaders rose from
their seats and approached her. They .
said to hor tina. they appeared on account
Of the school. and particularly on their own
to ask pardon FOR what they had done, to
express their sorrow for the pain they had
CAUSED her, and 20 promise il behalf of
ali, that her wishes should thereafter be
cordially obeyed. Her genuine sorrow
had touched spot in their hearts no blows
could ever reach; and, from that hour, the
school went on with degre OF intellectual
improvement never known before; and,
like the sweet accord of music, when every
instrument has been attuned, by masters
hand,no Earring note ever afterwards arose
to mar its perfect HARMONY

The GENERAL PosT OFFcE-W elearn
from the Washington Union that at the post
Office in that city,. the number of letters,
papers, and packages, passing through their
hands, unconnected with the business of
the government, has increased about 33
per cent, when compared with the business
Of the month of June. The gross amount
of proceeds from the postage on these has
fallen of nearly &c per cent, while the pos
tage charged to the government for lis let
tiers, &C., received and sent is enormous.
For the Post Office Department !alone, il is
said to reach near $4,000 for the mouth
just past"
Here we have developement Of long
Standing abuse corrected by the new law
Hitherto, the expense OF carrying the gov
ernment letters, the thanked letters and doc
umcnts, and the support of the iour-horse
mail coaches through the remote counties
of the southern States. has been paid chiefly
by the mercantile interest Of the country.
Now, ifthc post Office revenue will moi
meet expenses, they will fall on the couu-
try at large, and upon lis revenues general
y. II appears that the government letters
and dispatches are equivalent TO a postage
tax (evcn at the present low rates) of$4S0,-
600 perannum. Under the old system they
must hive been equivalent 10 two millions
And to pay this the business community
was charged with high rates, and excessive
postage.
1.-THE government has TO expend half a
million a year 10 carry its correspondence
let the tax fall ON the public, whose bust
ness is thus transacted. This is far better
than to impose, as under the old law, tax
Of two millions per annum on the public
service, almost entirely on the commercial
and mercantile communiiy.-N Y. True
