examining bumps. A wag or two got one OF
our distinguished judges who thinks good

which he. generally covers with wig, to go

examined. Ways and judge arrived.

Professor.

under manipulationts of examiner. .
"What's this? what's this 2" said phre-
nologist and pressing his hand on top Of

A NATURAL CURIosITY.-The Frank
lin (Tenn.) Review, of the 4th, says: "We
have now in our possession, a young duck
ling, presented by Goodwin Curtis, Esq,
that has four legs, four wings, and only Que
head. The animal has the appearance Of
two bodies completely united through the
entire length on the under side, having two
spines, one neck with two distinct cervical
columns which unite at the base of the
skull, to one perfectly formed head. 1t was
found by one of Mr.. C's children, who, dis
covered that it had more than the natural
number of legs, and in the eagerness Of ex.
amining it, let it fall, by which it was kill
ed."

THE scHooLMAsTERs PROMISE.

and various other expression of acquiescence
came from every quarter of the room; and
as preface to the new state of things, the
school was dismissed at an early hour, leav-
ing the boys to gaze into each others eyes
in astoninishment, asifto divine in each 9TH

had stolen upon them as pleasant dream
An anxious week followed-a week of Gu

not even the terrible author of the compro-

Another and another day until at last the
identical named one dawned upon the glad
dened young hearts.
Nine o'clock came-every urchin was at
his post-books and states, all in readiness
for the davis battle with the demon of dark
ness and ignorance-every task fully COM
mitted to memory. Altogether, charming
state of affairs! An active mind, not we'd
ded too closely to orthodox ideas, would have
OWNED at once the great advantage of re-
wards and kindness, over oppression and
cruelty. But our old tutor was invincible.

SPARE MOMENTS.

A long awkward boy come to the door OF
principal of celebrated school, one morn
ing and asked to see him. The servant eyed
his mean clothes, and thinking he Looked
more like beggar than anything else, told
him to go round to the kitchen. The boy
did as he was bidden, and soon appeared at
the back door.
Il should like to see Mr.. - said he.
you want breakfast more like said
the servant girl, Il can give you tha; with
out troubling him.
Thank you said the boy; q should like
to see Mr. =, if he can see me.
Some old clothes may be you want re-
marked the servant, again cycling the boys
patched clothes. Il guess he has none to
spare-he gives away sight and without
miuding the boys request, the servant went
about her work. , :.
Gan I see Mr.. p again asked the
boy, after finishing his bread and butter.
sWcll, he is in the library, if you must.
He does like to be alone, sometimes said
the girl, in peevish tone.
She seemed to think it very, foolish to
take such boy into her masters presence.
However, she wiped her hands and bade
him follow. g..
Opening the library door, she said, 'Here's
somebody who is dreadfully anxious 10 see
you and so T let him in =. - =
I don't know how the boy introduced
himself, or how he opened the business; but
I know that after talking while the. prin-
ciral put aside the volume that he was study
ing, and took up some Greek books, and no
began to examine the new conner. livery
question the principal asked the boy, was
answered as readily as could be. g:jr.
sUpon my word exclaimed the principal,
"you do WE'LL" looking at the boy from head
to foot over his spectacles. sWhy, my boy,
where did you pick up SO much?
"In my spare Moments" answered the
boy. =,
Here was poor, hard-working boy, with
few opportunities for schooling, yet almost
fitted for college, by simply improving his
spare moments. Truly are spare moments
the "gold dust of time" How precious
they should be! What account can you
show for them? Look and see. This boy
can tell you how very much can be laid up
by improving them; and there are many,
other boys, I, am afraid, in the Jail and in
the house of correction, in the gambling
house, in the tippling shop, who if you were
to ask them where they began their sinful
course. might answer, "In my spare mo-
ments." - -
Oh, be very careful how you spend your
spare, moments! The tempter always hunts
you out in small seasons like these; when
you are not busy, he sets into your hearts,
if he possibly can in just such gaps. There
he hides himself, planning all sorts of mis-
chief: Take care of your spare moments.
