A GOOD STORY.

Yankee doctors and lawyers, though plenty enough nova days, on the bor- ders, used 10 have moderate time of it.
 As it was pretty generally known they would not drink whiskey. or fight when challenged, every bully had his driving at them, and they we're frequently driv> en to leave their stations. and find mo,e peaceable one. Occasionally, however, one was found. whose samples were not so nice, and in such case bloody fight was apt to occur.
 Mr. Henry emigraied from Vermont to certain county seat in Missouri, to prac> tice law. There never was a kinder or more generous man. nor one mote devo- ted to bis profession. One of the leaders of the circuit. however, was. drunken bully named Wilson, man of great phy- siesl strength ard pugnacity. and after he had been beaten in case or two of for- ensic display, he determined to drive Henry from tbs place. Having publicly announced his intention, it came ot ceu,se to lhe ears of his intended victim. But he received it coolly, and made no reply. The next circuit count came round, and to increase the bully 's,anmosily. tue fi st case tried was an important one, in which Mr. Henry had been detained by govern ment, and himself for the defence. Great efforts we're made on both sides. but the superior ability of Mr. Hen'y carried the day. Court had adjourned for dinner. and as soon as the Judge had reti, ed. and before the lawyers had generally left the room, Wilson walked deliberately up to Mr. Henry and grossly insul,ed hun.
 The cool hearted Yankee looked him deliberately in the face, and asked him what he meant. He replied, to drive every d-d Yankee from the Circuit. and was going to begin right there.
 MT. Hen'y looked round upon the shrong, and mildly inquired if this man spoke the general sentiment. If it was the wish of the bar that he should leave the Circuit. he would go. but not wi,h' out. Wilson replied, no one veutu,ing 10 speak, that it was his wish, and that his wish was law in that case. so the sooner he packed up the better. Mir. Hensy now drew a double barrelled rife pistol from his pocket, greatly to the ass punishment of the crowd, who did not suppose he ever learned the use of such things, and remarked that yonder candle had long snuff aimed at it. full twen> " feet distant, and shot it off. Then. turning to Wilson. he drew sight on his watch key that hung dangling from his vest. and observed shat he should keep the other bullet to shoot through the ring of his watch key the next time he presu- med to insult him. The bully tutned away as pale as death. and not another word was said about driving of the Yankee lawyer. ... -..s 14a

ScHoLARs.-No one can be made a scholar; almost all persons can make themselves scholars. Labor saving ma. chimes do not apply 10 the mental world in the game sense as to the physical. It is not among vast libraries, surrounded by numerous teachers and professors that prodigies of learning are produced. The person who in youth learns to exerci'e his own powers of mind. is sure to turn ou, scholar, and useful practical man, if he lives to the middle period of life, lf he does not learn 10 think for himself as well as to read hooks and receive facts from others. he will never become really learned. Who ever heard of scholar made by lectures. or by teachers in any town ? Has not every scholar who has yet appeared in the world become such by his own efforts-by personal applica- tion-b by patient and persevering use of the machinery within him? Who eve, heard of hereditary leaning, or of ideas manufactured like cotton cloth--by steam or water power ? The history of Amer. ican colleges, for the last ten or twenty years, fully proves that students who per- form the most mental labor for themselvs and not those who hear the greates, mum Der of professors, make the strongest and most valuable men. A large library is another facility in education. which by abuse, is liable 10 do injury which has done much injury to students. A great reader. and especially miscellaneous reader. is seldom good scholar or 3 useful man. He may have large mass of materials collected, but he has no power 10 use them. either for himself or his fellow men. His mind is mere lum> Der yard. and himself an intellectual mi- ser--a blank in the beautiful and hal mos nions creation around him.

AN ELOQUENT ExTRAcT.-The sea is the largest of cemeteries, and it's slum, berers sleep without monument. All grave ya,ds in all other lands show some symbol of distinction between the great and the small. the rich and the poor 1; but in that ocean cemetery the king and the clown. ,he p'ince and the peasant a,e all alike undisiinguished. The waves roll over all--the same ,tquicm song by the mi"strelsy Of the ocean. is sung to their honor. Over their remains the came storm beats, and the same sun shines {; and there unmarked. the weak and the powerful, and the plumed and unhonored will sleep on, until awakened by the same trump when the sea will give np its dead. 1 thought of sai.ing over the slumbering tut devoted Goodman. who after b, ight ard brilliant career, perished in the Pres sident--over the same ill- faied vessel we may have passed. In that cemetery sleeps the accomplished and pious Fisher, but whe,e he and thousands of others of the noble spirits of the earth lie. no one but God knoweih. No ma, ble rises to poin. out where their ashes aIe gathered, or whe,e the lovers of the good or wise can go tO shed the tear of sympathy. Who can tell where lie the tens of thousands $ of Africa's sons who perished in the :" middle passage 2" Yet that cemetery hath ornaments of Jehovah. Never can l forget my days and nights as I passed the noblest of the cemeteries without 8 single monument.--G Giles.

Keu.ueky,s Regnrd fsr Fair Play.

In the year '3S I was traveling with . strolling theatrical company. and arriving at small town in Kentucky, 1t was re solved to treat the inhabitants to bit of the Legitimate A suitable place hays ing been secured, notices were stuck up, informing the public. that on the evening would be performed. by one of the best theatrical companies in the Union. the admired and popular drama of ''Willlam Tell, the Heroic Swiss Night came. and the room was crowd. ed by an anxious audience. and many ot them had never witnessed a theatrical performance. The piece passed of very well. elicitiDg much applause, and enlist ing the sympalhies of the audience in be- half of Tell, as they took several occa- sions to cheer the pat,iot on. When the shooting scene came, great excitement was manifested among the group of the hardy sons of Kentucky --they began to think the thing was real. At that mo' ment when Tell remonstrates with Gel- ser, for having picked out the smallest apple. and the tytant says:
 "Take it as it is: thy skill be greater if thou httest it.
 To which Tell replies
 "True, true. did not think of this ? Give me some chance to save my boyH'
 One of the group ] have mentioned hardy stripling who would measure full six feet and two inches in his stocklngs- sprang upon the stage confronting Gel. ser, and shouted,
 Give him a fair chance. I VOW to snakes it's too mean to make him shoot his son: 'Spose 1 let him shoot one Of my niggers and if that won't do. I'll let him have a crack at me. provided he puts pint cup on my lead instead of that cussed listle applet"
 It is slmost useless 10 add that this caused scene-especially as three o, four of the Kentuck,an's friends jumped upon the stage to back him and side with Tell.
 It took some time to pacify and assure them that it was a play.
 We'll, stranger, we won't stand any foul play in these diggins. and seein' as how its only show, why we'll step out, and the valiant Kentuckian, as we'll as his friends. resumed their seatS.-- ~. r. DatchmaB.

An Elephant at the Helm.

An Elephant belonging 10 a menage- rie was recently taken on board steam boat at Buffalo, and the editor of the Commercial Advertiser of that place re. marked at she time that the huge travel- eT might be somewhat ugly customer on board. The result in some degree veri fed his prediction. The Commercial says:
 Itappears that on the passage the man at the wheel suddenly found difficulty iu changing the boats course. For tug and pull, and bear on as much as he would, the wheel would not budge an inch.
 Port helm r cried the captain.
 Aye, aye, sir responded the wheel man.
 But still the helm was hard star board and the boat was taking turn into the middle of the lake. The captain swore, and the mate made for the wheel house. Pushing the man aside. he took hold himself It was of no use-the male was no more successful than the wheels. man.
 'Port helm for Gods sake! Can't you see where the boats going ? shouted out the captain.
 The mate declared that something was the matter with the wheel, as he could not stir it. The thing was perfectly in. applicable. The engine was stopped, and master. mate and all hands went below to see what could be the matter. After seaIeh Of some minutes, it was discov- cred that Mr. Siam. the elephant of the menagerie. not liking the noisy rai,ling of chains overhead. had taken upon him> self the responsibility of giving a new turn to affairs. With his trunk wound round the chain. he was holding on with the grasp of vice. and it was with some difficulty that the keeper persuaded him that such liberties could not be allowed. It is said he behaved quite well during the rest of the voyage.
