ANN OLDFIELD REDrvIvUs.-Mrs.-W was q
pretty widow Of twenty.eight left rich by her hus-
band, respectable and we althy farmer ofS---
in the county of Oakland, who judiciously died
about the age of fifty. B, signing swain
of twenty, fell in love with this charming widow
during school vacation, and was thereby dis
tracted from study, and nearly frantic. His father,
who designed him for the ministry" had Pc
culiar horror Of the sweet widow, whom he re-
garded as little better than one of the wicked.
Her black eyes, her heavng bosom, and her elastic
tread. were to him only symbols of Old Nick. He
was in despair, and in his despair he visited the
widow, and besought Of her, if she had particle
of mercy, not to ruin his son. In vain the widow
protested that she had used no arts-had only seen
the youth few times, and was entirely Indifferent
to him. the father still insisted andthe pretty wild
ow protested that if the youth came again to see
her, it would be his last visit. Not many days past
when the enamored youth made his arrangement
for visit, Of which the widow had notice. The few
previous interviews had taken place under circum-
stances peculiarly favorable to romance and senti-
ment upon moonlit wales or in parlor tete-a-tete
This time the timid youth was told that Mrs
49, was at the barn, whittier he went, and
found bis belle ideal with skirts knee high, dressed
in a mans boots and covered with mans hat
pipe IN her mouth, mug Of cider IN her hand,
experimenting her men-killing hogs He never
came again-it was too killing. : =s.

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.
J. BRYsdN BURROWS. EDITOR.

nag It is very common for scholars to dread
the examination which usually takes place at
the close of the summer sessions of our schools,
and some scholars fear it SO much, that after
asking q number of times, they prevail upon
their parents to excuse them from attending
school during the last week of the session ; 9TH
ers will try to pursuade their teachers to excuse
them from being examined in some or all Of their
studies, and others still will think the teacher
ought to tell them beforehand, what questions
they will each have to answer, so that they may
commit the answers to these questions to memory:
To the first of these two classes Of scholars, we
shall probably say word at some future time,
for the benefit of the third class, we copy the
following amusing anecdote:
"a country school teacher, preparing for an
examination of his school, selected . class of
pupils, wrote down the questions and answers
he would put to them on examination day. The
day came and SO come the young hopefuls all
but one. The pupils took their places as had
been announced, and all went glibly on until
come the question for the absentee, when the
teacher asks "In whom do you believe! The
pupil who sat next the vacant seat, without no
ticing whose question it was, answered "Napo-
leon Bonaparte. No! No! angrily exclaimed
the teacher In whom do you believe! Napo-
leon Bonaparte. Here the teacher began to
smell the rat, and said, you believe in the Holy
Ghost, do you not No, said the pupil, amid
roars of uncomfortable laughter, 'the boy that
believes in that hasn't come to school to day,
he's at home sick-a bed"
