cnce.-A friend related to US this
morning n scene in school-room which
we think will do publish, and is too good
to keep. tits the custom in the SCHOOLS
to read moral lesson each morning,
when the teacher questions the scholars
on what has been read. The day our
friend visited the school, the lesson
was in regard to the taking of fruit,
and was sort of narrative, in which
it was stated that teacher had told
his class not to touch the fruit which
grew in a ncighboring orchard, but to
wait until it was perfectly ripe, and
they should all have share of it,
They all disobeyed the command with
the exception Of one little girl-sho
alone refraining from touching the
fruit.
The first question asked by the teach
er was:
(which did right, the little girl or
the others Of the class
The unanimous answer was
1.-The little girl"
The next question. asked was
"Why did not the little girl take
fruit ?"
This appeared to puzzle the class,
and Tor long time there was no one
ready to answer. At length a little
fellow at the bottom Of the class
held up his hand, which was equivalent
to saying that he thought he could
give the answer. He was told to pro.
ceed-when he astonishcd the teacher
and conyulsed our friend by exclaim-
ing
"Pleoh SIR, Igeth size yaM too lille

WE'RE GROWING OLD TOGETHER.

BY III. G.. G.
We're growing old together,
We're growing old npacc,
And tell.tale cares and sorrows strcw
Their lines upon thy face:
Vet still ne dear to me art thou
As when in youths bright morn,
Thy ruby lip and rosy cheek
Did thy fair face adorn.
We're growing old together,
As time glidcs swiftly by,
And fearful grief has somewhat dimmed
The lustre.of thine eye:
Yet still it beams as fondly, love,
As when we stood beside
The old oak trce--l held your hand,
And asked you for my bride. -
We're growing old together, ........
But still our hearts arc young,
And future days of chapgcfui life
Shall find us brave and strong;
And may affection true enchain s..
Our hearts to gether still,
As of in days of yoro we felt
The same emotions thrill ..

The London (Ohio) Democrat furn-
ishes the following in regard to Ed
reds menagcrie in the storm on the
14th ult. 1t says;
The performance commenced as usu.
al, but had not proceeded far when a
sudden gust of wind ripped open one
side of the canvass. Another lifted
the pavilion up, tearing it from its
stays, when it suddenly settled down,
while the centre pole fell with o crash
to the ground. The crowd tumbled
headlong off their seats, and rushed
pell-mell into "the pittiless pelting of
the storm" The women shrieked, the
men swore," the horses neighed, the
"learned mule" brayed, clowns laugh
ed, the hyena howlcd, the monkeys
chattered, while at every occasional
boom of the thunder the lightning
would reveal glimpse of the wreck
hatless heads, inverted umbrellas, crush
ed crinoline, draggled skirts, muddied
coats, ETC., all jumbled together in one
vast heterogeneous mass. TO add to
the already confusion worse confound.
ed, the cry was raised that one of the
wagons was upset, and lions had broken
loose! This, however, proved to be
false alarm, as all the animals re-
mained secure save the elephant, who
with accustomed good sense, broke
from his moorings and sought shelter.

riisors exercised in the application of
tho new law on public surety. Re-
spectacle mon of families are seized
suddenly without warning, torn from
their families and business, and hurried
Oft to Algicrs without Judge or iury. -
The lightcst word, bordering upon tho
literal opinions, is visited with a warn
ing. In certain town in France,
there is an American citizen, who has
large silk factory, which is the chief
establishment ofthe place, and furnish
es as much bread to the poor as all the
other establishments combined. Tho
gentleman was lately warned in this
way by an official of the prefect. The
American showed the official the door.
and told him that he was an American
citizen, and a republican at that: al,
though he did not seek to propaaato
revolution, he would ALWAYS exercise
the right of expressing in his own house
the opinions which he held up, and in
which ne was educated; and if the
Government was going to deny him this
right, all they had to do was order
HIM out OF the country, and he would
60, and take his factory with him. -
The reply has gained for him. an immu.

instance, an American student wished
to come from one of the departments,

delayed, by all sorts of cquivocations,

Stranger than Friction.

The Portsmouth (Ohio) Tribune re.
lates thc following incident in real life
in that county, which, it thinks, is
stranger than fiction.
Robert McAuley went from. Luoaa.
vile six years ago, to California, lcav-
ing a family behind. During his alb
sence they have been receiving letters
from him, and only a short time ago
they received a letter from him, in
which he stated that it was his inten.
ton to return home. lie also wrote
that he was sick. During this week
a gentleman presented himself at Pike.
town, and represented himself as Mr..
Robert McAuley, and said he vas out
of money, and was not able to walk
home. Mr.. Hallam Hampstead kindly
volunteered to tnke the sick man to his
supposed family. lie was taken to a
near relative in tho neighborhood, where
his wife (as he claimed) lived. The
wife was sent for. She came, but fail.
ed utterly to recognize him. She
said he was an impostor, there being
no resemblance between hin and her
husband, What adds to the mystery
of the whole affair, is tho seeming
fairness of his story. He knows al
his old neighbors, and everything
about their history,yet his family don't
know him. Some Of his neighbors say
it is him, but others deny. He is now
in this city, and will, perhaps, 20 upon
the legal charity of the township.
