WE believe VIC have got hold of an orig
inal anecdote, that never was printed be-
fore. a student of one of our State collie
gcs had barrel of ale deposited in his
room-cOntrary, of course, to rule and
usage. lie received summons to appear
before the President who said: "Sir,
am Informed that you have barrel of ale
in your room" rc" Yes, sir" Well, sir,
what explanation can you make 2" "Why,
the fact is, sir, my physician advises me to
try little each day as tonic, and, not
wishing to stop at the various places where
the beverage is retailcd, / concluded to
have barrel taken to my room" I" In
decd; and have you derived any benefit
from the use of itN "Ah, yes, sir; when
the barrel was first taken to my room, two
days since, could scarcely lift it--now /
can carry it with the greatest ease" We
believe the witty student was discharged
without special reprimand.
The FEMALE TEMpER.-No trait of char.
acter is more valuable in female than the
possession of sweet temper. Home can
never be happy without it, it is like the
flowers that spring up in our pathway, re-
yiving and cherishing us. Let man go
home, at night wearied and worn by the
tolls of day, and how soothing is word
dictated by good disposition ! II is sun
shine falling on his heart. He, is happy,
and the cares of life are forgotten. A sweet
temper has soothing influence over the
minds Of n whole family Where it is found
in the wife and mother, you observe kind
ness and love predominating over the nat
ural feelings ola bad heart. Smiles, kind
words and looks characterized the children,
and peace and love have their dwellings
there. Study, then to acquire and retain
good temper, and it captivates moro than
beauty, and to the close of life it retaiLs all
its freshness and power.
How FAST THEY DIED.-Thc eminent
DIR. Bandcns, in an able report on his official
mission to the Crimca, affirms that, for
sometime, two hundred French soldiers ex-
pircd daily between that region and Con-
stantinople, and that the official bulletins
convey no adequate idea of the suffcrings
and privations of the troops, and the extent
and horrors of the mortality, off we con-
suit" he says, "the medical statistics of
the hospital establishment, the number
of deaths recorded in the hospitals was
o1ou! sixty .krcc thousand; thirty-ono
thousand in the Crimca, and thirty-two
thousand at Constantinoplc." Was anoth-
