Runaway Apprentices.

OF late years it is difficulty for Mechan-
les to procure good Journeymen, There
is no scarcity of a certain kind ;but finished
workmen-men who have received pro-
per education in particular art, are not
often found seeking employment. The
cause of this is very evident. Appren-
tices do not serve out their time. Ii is
as idle to suppose that any body can learn
a trade in one, two or three years SER

AROYAL OUNCE.

II is certain, kings are not the best IN
formed people in the world, and of all
others, the Emperor of Austria, now Sd
strenuously engaged in putting out the
light of Italy, stands pre-eminent for stu
pidity. During a recent royal journey,
the emperor and his suite were to visit
several public places, in one of the great
cities of the empire. One was an acade-
my of fine arts, another was an asylum Tor
the poor. The emperor had been told
that when he had been carried through
the asylum, he must ask for some of their
soup, and having tasted it, say it was very
good. So having been duly wound up,
the emperor was set agoing. On reachs
ing the academy he was met by great
crowd of artists of all degrees, and led by
the PRECEDENT, followed by his suites
through the saloons IN which the labors
of the academy we're exhibited.
or course, he bowed very courteously,
as he looked up and around him, smiled,
and said;
well, we'll! very well all excellent
When all at once he turned round to
the president of the academy, and asked:-
where's the soup! where's the soup!
Let's have some Of your soup.
The astonishment of the artists as not
equal to the dismay of the courtiers, who
did their best to save him from Discovers

emperor had taken them for crowd of
paupers, and their academy for an asy lum'

day, the emperor was taken to the muse

A MaracIe.

Two writing ,masters from the South
recently made their appearance in this
village, says the Exeter News Letter, and
solicited subscriptions for writing
school. They proiessed to be mutes, or
deaf and dumb men, and much sympathy
was felt for their unfortunate situation,
and a large school was obtained. They
kept school for few nights in the town
hall. and gave apparent satisfaction.-
Among the scholars were several young
ladies, kind ones, one of whom whispered
sportively to another, Poor unfortunates,
they are pretty; should like to kiss one
of them When one of the muiss, who
could remain silent no longer, exclaimeds 3
