A POOR SCHOLAR.


One of our somewhat lamed scientific and lit
sTary men of Boston, was recently called upon
by a very Seedy looking broken down specimen
OF genilily, whose outward show, indeed, guve
strong indication of poetic and authorize destiny.
After greeting Prolessor-, the shabby gen.
Isman went on TO state that ho was in great des-
Iitution, sought charity, and hearing Professor
g. was friend to the cause of education,
&C., had called upon him, as poor scholar, for
relief
"Poor scholar, ehl Ali come in, sir; walk
into my library, sir, am friend 10 literature,
and shall be proud TO assist the struggling efforts
of the poor scholar, always"
Reaching the library, Prolessor-- OPEN
ed with Latin display Of his efficiency in let.
terS, but finding that the aims seeker seemed not
TO comprehend the drift Of il, asked him in con-
siderable irritation
"Why, sir, don't you understand the clas-
sicsi"
"Class.icsl" replied the fellow, "Lord bless
you sir, what are Ihey"
"Heuvens" calculated the now sqlccd profess
sor, "did you not say, sir, that you were a poor
SsAOlarl"
"Yes sir, so be mighty poor scholar; 'tainI
my fault though, sir, stein' never had any
Schoolin'l"
Slipping few shiIIings into the poor scholar's
fist, the professor told him to-Siidei-L Boston
Rambler.
