A CooL AyENGER.-A certain Eng
llsh gentleman, who was a regular fre-
quenter of the green-room of Drury Lane
Theatre, and who always stood quietly on
the hearth-rug there with his back to the
ilre, was III his usual place one night
when narrative was related by another
gentleman newly returned from the con-
tinent, of a barrier-duel that had taken
place IN Paris. A young Englishman-
mere boy-had been despoiled in a
gambling house in the Palais Royal, had
charged certain gaming Count with
cheating him, had gone out with the
Count, had wasted his fire and had been
slain by the Count under the friehtful
circumstances of the Counts walking up
to him, laying his hand on his heart, saw
ing: "You are brave fellow-haye YOU
mothcr? and on his replying in the
affirmative, remarking cody: ri am sorry
for her." and blowing his victims brains
out. The gentleman on the hearth-rug
paused in taking pinch of snuff to hear
the story, and observed with great placid
ity: II am afraid must kill that rascal"
A few nights elapsed, during which the
green-room hearth-rug was without him,
and then he re-appeared precisely as be,
fore, and only incidentally mentioned in
the course Of the evening: "Gentleman.
| killed that rascalp' He had gone over
to Paris on purpose, and tracked the
Count to the same gambling house, had
thrown a glass of wine in his face in tho
presence of all the company assembled
there, had told him that he was come to
avenge his young compatriot-and had
done it by putting the Count out of this
world and coming back to the hearth-rup
as if nothing had happened.

CLASS IN NATURAL HIsroRY.-Take
your places: Subject of to-day's lesson!
Answer The young American.
Question Where is this animal found?
Answer: In Uppertendom.
Question Can it exist III any but its
native air?
Answer: 1t cannot thrive, except where
civilization is ovcrgrown.
Question: To what other species is it
nearly allied? /?
Answer: The monkey.
Question: Which most resembles man!
Answer: Some naturalists place the
Young American next to man, but by
most it is considered inferior to the
monkey.
Question: Describe the Young Ameri-
can?
Answer: Body and limbs exceedingly
slight-head small and very erect, being
light-the coat smooth, and glittering in
spots with the brilliancy of gold or gems
-cyes usually mild and gentle in express
sion, though when the animal is reused,
they are capable of furious glare. A
striking popularity is the long fur or hair
which, with some, quite covers the face,
with others, all but narrow space below
the eyes. Forehead low-teeth small,
sharp and very white.
Question: lsthe Young American very
dangerous
Answer: Sometimes threatening, but
seldom dangerous. They retreat at once
when attacked by man. The kind called
fortune hunters should, however, be ex-
cepted. They are keen-scented and cum
ming, stealthy in pursuit of prey, and
cruel to their victims
Question: On what does the Young
American subsist?
Answer: On Gathers money -asub-
stance well known in Uppertendoma.
Question Has the Young American
anything like the power of speech ?
Answer: When irritated it gives ut
terance to low sound, like demd bore"
or sometimes "kussed bore," but it is
usually quiet.
Question: Can this creature be made
useful to man, in any way?
Answer: Some attempts to train him
for usefulness have been made, but in
vain-they have always resulted in the
less of individuality, and have, therefore,
been abandoned Yet it is valued as
pet by ladies, who are often fond of the
creature as a companion in their walks,
and they even give it place In their
drawing rooms-merely as a plaything,
however, as it is of no use where protec-
ton is needed Still, the Young Ameri-
can fills place in Ippertendom which
no other animal in the known world would
occupy.
Question: Then what appears to be the
object of its existence, if it cannot be
rendered useful
Answer: The object of its existence is
yet to be discovered; although, as we are
taught that nothing is made in vain,
there is doubtless a design in the exist
ence of the Young American.
Question Is the Young American ever
confounded with the True American?
Answer: The true American is quite
a distinct species, and is not found in
Urpertcndom.
Perfect lesson. The class may be
seated.-KnickcrbocLer.
