Parting Interview wIth Emmct

The evening before his death, while the
workmen were busy with the scaffold, a
young lady was admitted into his dungeon.
1t was the girl whom he fondly loved, and
who had now come TO bid him an eternal
farewell. He was leaning in a melancholy
mood against the window frame Of the pri.
son, and the heavy clanGing of his irons
smote dismully upon her heart. The inter.
view was bitterly affecting, and melted even
the cullous soul Of the jailor. AS for Em-
met, he spoke little; but as he pressed his
beloved in silence to his bosom, his counte-
nance betrayed his emotion. In low voice
half choked by anguish, he besought her not
to forget him; he reminded her Of their for-
mer huppines, of the long past days of their
childhood, and concluded by requesting her
sometimes TO visit the scenes where their
infunCy was spent, and though the wofd
might repeat their names with" scOrn, tc
cling to his memory with affection.
At this very instant, the evening bell
Fealed from the neighboring church. En-
met started at the sound, and as he felt that
this was the last time he should ever hear
its dismal sound, he folded his beloved still
closer to his heart, and bent over Her sinking
form with his eyes streaming with affection
The turnkey entered at the moment;
ashamed of his weakness, he dashed the ri
sing tear from his eye, and a frown again
lowered on his count cnance. The man
meanwhile approached to tear the young
lady from his embraces. Overpowered by
his feelings he could make no resistance;
but as he gloomily released her from his
hold, he gave her little miniature of him
self, and with that last token Of attachment
he imprinted the last kisses of dying maj
upon her lips. On gaining the door, she
turned around as if to gaze once more upor
the object of her widowed love. He caugh
her eye as she retired-it was but for mo
ment; the dungeon door swung back upof
its hinges, and as il closed after, informed
him too surely that they had met for the las
| time on earth.

A Revolutionary AncCdOtc.

A large party of Virginia rifemen who
had recently arrived in camp, were stroll
ling about cambridge, and viewing the col
legate buildings, now turned into barracks.
Thcif half Indian equipments, and fringed
and ruffled hunting garbs, provoked the mer-
riment of some troops from Marblehead,
chiefly fishermen and sailors, who thought
nothing equal to the fayorite round jacket
and trousers. A bantering issued between
them. There was snow upon the ground,
and the snow-balls began to fly when jokes
werc wanting. The parties WaSed warm
with the contest. They closed and came to
blows; both sides were reinforced, and, in
in little time, at least thousand were at
fisticuffs, and these was tlmult in the camp
worthy of the days of Homer. At this
juncture, writes our informant, Washington
made his appearance, whether by accident
or design never knew. | saw none of his
aids with him; his black servant was Just be-
hind him mounted. He threw the bride of
his horse into his servants hands, sprang
from his seat rushed into the thickest OF
the melee, seized two tall, brawny riflemen
by the throat, keeping them at arms length,
talking to and shaking them. AS they were
from his own state, he may have felt peculi-
arly responsible for their good conduct,
they were engaged, too, in one of these sec.
tional quarrels, which were his especial ab-
horrence; his reprimand must therefore have
been a vehement one. He was command
ing in his serenest moments, but irresistc.
BILE in his bursts of indignation. On the pre-.
sent occasion, we are told, his appearances
and strongly handed rebuke put an instant
end to the tumult. The combatants disper.
sed in all directions, and in less than three
minutes none remained on the ground ex.
cept the two he had collarcd.- Irving's

Sllanghais.

There are objections to Shanghais, no
doubt, but we had never thought of this:
"Mr. s., an old resident in Saltwater,
on the upper Hudson, introduced among his
family OF hens few shanghais, including a
rooster OF formidable dimensions, who had
"run on two legs" good deal. His crow
was peculiar and easily distinguished from
that of the other cocks. One morning he
had waited to hear repetition of the usual
summons, after being aroused by the "shril
clarion" once sounded, but he heard it not
again. The pre-eminent chanticleer was
still. Mr.. S. went out to see what had
caused the silence. He found the rooster
lying on his back with both legs out Of joint.
After an examination. he set both legs; the
cock walked off and gave vent to his salts
faction in lusty crow. In the very act he
dropped as If he had been shot. He had
crowed his legs out of joint again! He was
KEEP, three or four days and then killed,
"It was too much trouble" said Mr.. S.,
"to set him up every time he crowed''

A Singular Dcatsl-Str uaEglC.

A singular circumstance was lately re-
lated to me by one of the house surgeons OF
the Charity Hospital in Paris. In one OF
the mems wards of this immense hospital, q
mah was dying at twelve o'clock at night
At this hour, in the surgical wards there
is no movement except in case ofnecessity.
The lamps burn dimly, and the guardians
are ordinarily sleeping in their chairs
But there are always some Of the patients
more or less wakeful by cause of their suffer-
ings. The man who was dying had in the
pocket of his pantaloons, d tolerably well
filled phrse-not at all rare circumstance
in Paris hospital. He was miser. He
had kept his pantaloons carefully slowed
away under his pillow, but his frequent at.
lentious to the safety OF his pocket.book
aroused the attention and the cupidity as
we'll of the man who occupied the next
bed TO him. This man watched with wake,
full eyes for the proper moment to seize
the dead mans treasure. When the miser
no longer breathed uudibly, and the other
believed him dead, he stole quietly out Of
bed, and thrusting his hand under the pillow
seized the pantaloons. But he was mis-
taken; there was still breath and life in
the miser, and the attempt to wrest from
him his treasure, seemed to give him life and
breath, that he had not. He seized the pan
falcons, and horrible struggle took place
between the dying man and the thief for the
possession of the coveted money. But the
miser's grasp was soon relaxed BY death, and
he fell back on his bed curling words from
his throat, that ought to have frozen the
blood Of the blackest pirate on earth.
More than che patient was aroused BY
this singular and horrid scene, and when
the thief shall be sufficiently cured to leave
the hospital, he will be given over to justice.

CHt Behind.

Who has not observed the malicious, or
rather, mischievous cry with which young.
stefs on the sidewalks call the attention of
coach drivers to the boys who are tilchng a
ride on the steps in the rear. "Cut behind!"
screams one of these, and Immediately the
boy ou the coach begins series of tremu-
lous lodges to escape the straining eye OF
the driver, bat still retains his hold. -aCut
behind" again calls out the little scamp on
the sidewalk, running after the coach In
vain does the one clinging to the steps coax
his prosecutor, or shake his little fist in a
threatening manner. The cry is kept up
"cut behind!' Presently the driver cuts
indy behind, but the rde.seeker chuckles
as he gets On the other side of the steps,
lodges his head, and thus contrives to es-
/ cape the lash. But his prosecutor follows
close and keeps up his relentless "cut be-
hind" until the whip at last touches the boy
on the coach, and he gets off smartiug with
the crack.
This is boyish fun, but it is also toIera-
Bile resemblance in miniature to what is 60
ing on in the great game of life. The boy
on the sidewalk represents class Of peo-
Pile, either eaten up with envy of those who
are in the enjoyment of prosperity deried
to others-who are riding on the coach, and
who take mischievous delight in relent-
less persecution of those whose movements
they have not courage to follow. "Cut be-
hind!" they cry to the driver of fortunes

threats. How they growl if the rider skill

A MORAL WELL POINTED. -Sophronius,
wise teacher, would not permit his grown
up sons and daughters to associate with
those whose conduct was not pure and up
right "Dear father" said the gentle EulaI
lila to him one day when he forbade her, in
company with her brother, to visit the .sdIa-
tile Lucinda, ''you must think US very child
sh if you imagine we would be exposed to
danger by it."
The father took in silence a dead coal
from the hearth and reached it 10 his daugh-
ter. "It will not burn you, my child-take
it. She did SO; and behold, her delicate
white hand was soiled and blackened, and,
as it Glanced, her white dress too. We
cannot be too careful in handling Goals
even if they do not burn, they blacken. So
it is with the company of the vicious.

STUDYING LATIN The New Era relates
q story of farmer whose son had for long
time been ostensibly studying Latin in a
popular academy.
The farmer, not being perfectly satisfied
with the course and conduct. Of The young
hopeful, recalled him from school, and pla-
cling him by the side of a cart, one day, thus
interrogated him..
'Now, Joseph, here is fork, and there is q
heap of manure and cart what do you
call them in Latin!"
"Forkibus, cartibus, ct niahurbus," am
swered Joseph.
"Well, now,"' said the old man, "if you
don't take that forkibus, pretty quickibus,
and pit chibus that manuribus into that carti-
bus, Il break your lazy backibus."
Joseph went to workibus forthwithIbiis.

Nor BAD.-A correspondent Of the Gin
cinnot Times, from Burlington, VT, relates
the following:
am reminded-speaking of cheese-of
little unecdote the stage driver told me
yesterday. We were passing an old farm
house with an untidy looking yard, and di-
lapidated out buildings, when he said
GA Boston man got off a pretty cute
speech to the owner Of that place t'other
day."
"What is it," asked. >
"Why, he called at the house to buy
cheese, but when he came to look at the lot,
he concluded he didn't want 'em, they were
so full Of 'skippers.' So he made an ex-
cuse, and was going away, when the. farmer
said to him.
"Lool; here, mister, how can ] get my
cheese down to Boston the cheapest!"
"The gentleman looked at the stuff a mo-
ment, and saw the maggots squirming, and
said,
"Well, don't know; let 'em be day or
two, and you can drive 'em right DOM"
1t seems to me the answer was somewhat
pertinent to the OCCASION"
