| well remember what difference there was
between those Of my schoolmates who had,
and those who had moi, access to newspapers.
O'her,hings being equal the first we're always
decidedly superior to the last, in debate and
composition at least. The reason is plain
they had command of more facts. A
newspaper is history of current events, as
well as a curious and Interesting miscela-
ny, and which youth will peruse with de-
light when they will read nothing else"

A Coop SToRY.-Epes Sargent, of the
Boston Transcript, tells many good stories
under the head of"Dealings with the Dead"
One Of these numbers he devotes to fortune
hunting, and among other illustrations gives
the case of Mr. Mewins.
He was courting a young lady of some
attractions, and something Of a fortune into
the bargain. After liberal arrangement had
been made for the young lady by her father,
Mr.. Mewins having taken particular
fancy to a little brown mare, demanded
it to be thrown into the bargain: and upon
positive refusal the match was broken off.
After couple Of years, the parties acciden-
tally met at country ball. Mr.. Mewins
was quite willing to renew The engagement,
the lady, however, appeared not to have the
slightest recollection Of him.
"surely you have not forgotten me-" said
Mr. Mewins.
'What name, sir :" enquired the lady.
"Mewins' he replied,"l had the honor of
paying my addresses TO you about Two
years ago"
81 remember person Of that name, who
once paid his addresses to my father's
brown mare," rejoined the lady.
