that had been in the room. fffT#r
"He was TALL" said the Doctor" but
nothing could be discovered. save that he
was wrapped in gray cloak, and that he
made no noise in moving, no sound came
from him; all was still and if it was a
trick, it was well PLAYED"
The student said that when he first saw
him, it was merely. by an accident; for he
raised the candle to look around the room,
as mere matter Of curiosity. but in pass
ing it over the misty void of the chamber,
his eye fell upon The upright figure Of q
man.. He said the person. nodded at HIM,
and he could see his fun face-the nod
seemed to express satisfaction at being OBJ
served. He said that the figure, when he
had attracted his observation raised his
arm, but as he did so, the hand for mo-
inent pointed to the body on the table
and his eyes followed the gesture; then they
raised to him, and the expression was on,

E- If any livery stable owner has
debts due him by fast young men, or fam
cy middle aged gentlemen. who like to
make dash, the following hint as to the
way the debts may lie collected, may
be worth improving. We clip the
account from the Albany IN. " Ereniny
journal. of Wednesday last. The notori-
ETY. of a hearse with white horses stopping
at ones house with the necessary expla-
nation of its object, would be pretty apt to
fetch a hard case down right quick:
a New WAY OF CoLLEcIISc A DEBT
Some time since, young man contracted
a debt with a livery keeper in this city for
horse and carriage hire. After waiting q
suitable time, he directed his clerk to make
out the bill and collect it. He did as his
employer directed. After repeated calls
at the establishment kept by father and
son, he became persuaded that the only
way the debt could be collected was by a
recourse to law. He accordingly reported
the facts to his employer, when he took the
matter in hand and called upon the SON.
BE made good promises but failed to fulfil
them, and he finally became disguised at
the frequent lies he had told him., when
he set about devising way of collecting
the debt without the aid of the law. On Q
pleasant afternoon he directed the stable
man to hitch to the hearse span of white
horses, and then placing the demand in
the hands of one of his drivers, directed
him to drive to-strcet and hack it front
of No. lie furthar directed If any Of
the inmates of the house accosted him in
regard to being there to present the BILL
Sooa after arriving the lady Of the houss
came to the door, and, upon interrogatine
the driver, was banded the demand. He
for time, persisted in remaining until il
was paid, but the lady begged so hard that
ne finally drove of, she pledging that the
bill should be paid before shutdown. The
lady was as good as her word, for it was
not many hours after the hearse left hel
house before she paid the bill.

not only highly entertained and instructed
by tue matter of the lecture, but also charm
ed with the easy and elegant style in which
his subject was treated. We were, Of course,
we'll advised in advance of the Professors
great attainments, but, must admit, not
withstanding this, that we were not a lit
tie surprised at the thorough mastery of
the English language which he displayed
throughout his very finished production. =
Few men. we are satisfied, whose mother
tongue it is can WELD it with the same
grace and propricty. We are much indebt-
