a MANIFESTATION OF STUBBORSNESS-On
the Reading turnpike, just this side of the Saint
George's brewery, within the corporate limits.
there is very bad spot in the road For some
distance there is just room enough for a wagon
to pass over. Go either side of that, and you
plunge into holes, About six O'Clock, evening
before last a stone wagon and n buggy, going
in opposite directions, met in this part Of the
road
Turn off, said the owner of the buggy.
d" / won't do it," replied the stone-hauler.
My wagon is heavily loaded, and if was to
get the vehicle into those holes, L could never
get it OUT
= Your wagon is stout, and can stand the
rubS, said the man in the buggy. "Drive out
OF the way, and let me pass.
- won't do it" responded the teamster. 81
shall wait until you 60 by"
. So shall L, ~ said the man in the buggy
The dispute by this time had attracted quite
crowd, who were much amused at the Stub
bornneSS of the two. The teamster was invited
to beer house to take a drink, and accented
the invitation; the oWne of the buggy was be-
frlendcd with newspaper, and, throwing him
self back, endeayOred to beguile away the hours
as pleasantly as possible. Both declared their
determination not to drive off the smooth part
of the road.
Seven o'clock came, and both vehicles were
still there. The teamster had drank several
glasses OF beer, and the occupant of the buggy
had devoured the contents of two or three news
papers. Eight o'clock came, and they were in
the same position, as stubborn as ever. The
teamster, however, grew impatient; his horses
were tired and hungry, yet he did not wish to
knock under. At last lucky thought struck
him. He proceeded to the road, unhitched his
horses, and rode home, leaving his wagon in the
rad. The owner Of the buggy was completely
out-generaled; he had to give way, or remain
in the road all night. Giving the teamster a
good, hearty curse, he drove his buggy over the
hazardous part of the road and started home

CHARLOTTE BROSTE's PROFESSOR The
readers of Mrs. Gaskell's Memoirs of Charlotte
Bronte, will remember account of her first
novel, - The Professor which the publishers
rejected. This first work of her genius has now
been issued, and the awakened interest felt in
all that concerns the Bronte family will, doubt
less, give it circulation nearly equal to Jane
Eyre. The following extract from the preface
shows Charlotte power of irony:
= Il said to myself that my hero should work
his way through life a L had seen real living
men work theirs-that he should never get a
shilling he had not earned-that no sudden
turn should lift him in moment to wealth and
high station; that whatever small competency
be might gain should be won by the sweat of
his brow; that before he could find as much as
an arbor to sit down in, he should master at
least half the ascent Of the Hill of Difficulty;
that he should not even marry a beautiful girl
or lady Of rank as Adams son he should
share Adams doom, and drain throughout life
mixed and moderate cup Of enjoyment In
the sequel, however, L found The publishers in
general scarcely approved of this system but
would have liked something more Imaginative
and pOetical-something more consOnant with a
highly-wrOught fancy. with taste for pathOS,
with sentiments more tender, elevated. un-
worldly. Indeed, until an au thor has tried to
dispose Of a manuscript of this kind, he can
never know what stores of romance and sensi-
bility lie hidden in breasts he would not have
suspected of casketing such treasures. >
