rhn tlnaereIoped orntor AZ COLLEGE.

While i was at - College, among
number of new matriculants was one from
Green County, who was very green him
self He came with exalted notions of col
lege, professors, &c, and manifested the great
est anazement at everything. he beheld. In
conversation with him, the boys were led
To sneak of his having to declaim before the
professor. He protested that he could never
do that-never. They insisted that it would
have 10 be done. He said that was too much
for him, and he would pack up and go home.
But he was at length prevailed on to commit
a piece to memory; and, by the way ofgiving
him exercise, the boys, who had won his con-
fidence, would take him out to the woods,
mount him on a stump, and put him through
rehearsal. They flattered his performances
from time to time until he became quite vain
of himself and his effort; indeed he was now
as confident and boastful as ne had been
doubtful and timid. -...-.-. ~.
At length the day arrived to declaim before
the professor. There was large class OF U.S.
Several had performed their parts, and our
hero was called out. His courage had failed
him; he looked pale and tremulous; his lips
ouivered. He took his stand, swallowed hi'

arms awkwardly about, began, in stem
torian voice, 'Imagine to yourself a Demos
theens addressing the most learned assembly
in Greece ~ Here he clapped his hands Il
his face and broke forth in a wild, BOBBY vail
the tears gushing from between his fingers
The Professor, after pause, said, encour
agingly, Compose yourself and go on,
This he took for imperative, and struck of
again: 'Imagine to yourself Demosthee-e
Gems. Boo-oo-oo-ool Some of the boy
sitting near encouraged him, saying to him
"Try again; and if yon can't go through witt
that piece, speak your other speech" Where
upon he started out again "Imagine to your
self a Demosth-e-e-ens-" He paused mo-
ment, and then, with widest mien and ges'
ture-his clenched fists going like sledge
hammers, he burst forth:
'NIy home is on the rolling deep;
/ spends my time in feeding sheep
And when the waves on high Is runnin',
take my bag and goes gunnin;
shoots great ducks in deep snake holes, go
And drinks gin sling in two quart bowls
At the conclusion of which he rushed in
frenzy to his seat, amid the deafening roar
and cheers of the boys, and to the utter de
struction of the Professors gravity.

The Tower ofLondon-A Letter to Child

The Tower of London-A Letter 20 n Child.
On Leaving the Abbey we drove to the
Tower, which is situated about three miles
distant, on the Thames. This building was
originally used as a palace, but will be better
remembered by you as the scene Of so many
imprisonments and fearful deaths. 1t is now
used rs fortress and arsenal A Jewel
House has been attached TO it for the safe
keeping of the Crown Jewels. The Tower
covers large surface, and is composed Of a
number of buildings. portion OF it is de-
voted to an exhibition of ancient suits OF
armor, and great variety of weapons. on
would all be much interested in these, and
wonder how it was possible for II horse to go
into battle, himself completely covered with
armor, and his rider enyeloped in n similar
heavy suit. Twenty-Five of these figures are
seen, all dressed in complete sets of srmor,
varying according to the age in which they
lived. There is also a collection of all sorts
of weapons of warfare and instruments OF
torture, some of which would make you
shudder; such as the terrible thumb-screw.
| We were shown also the block on which so
many noble heads were sacrificed, and the
prisons in which for so many months and
years these persons were confined. Upon
the walls of these prisons many affecting
sentences have been notwithstanding
memorials of the protracted sorrows ofthe in
mates. .f.
The royal jewels, which, as said, are in a
separate building, are preserved ON velvet
cushions under glass case, and the whole
surrounded by an iron railing.

THE FIRST TRAGEDY RESULTING FROM THE

Amusing Attempt of n Raven to Build a


A pet raven says Once Week, endeavored
every spring to build nest. He knew no
more about the art of building than if he had
four feet instead of two, and had worn hair
instead of feathers; but always about the
same time of year he became very mys-
terious, and very much occupied with some
business of his own. He was observed to
collect sticks, and resorted much to the
under-frame work of an open thatched roof
which protected shed. Here, in fact, he
slept at all seasons of the year, and the place
might be called his residence" Here, then,
he brought his sticks, impelled most probably
by dim vision that something more than
usually domestic was to be done. But the
sticks, though collected in large quantities,
were laid about in all directions, without the
least approach to compactness of form. be-
lieve he was himself aware of the bad job he
was making of it, for nothing could vex him
more than for us to go and look at his nest;
so, of course, we went accordingly. He evil
IDENTIFY knew it was wrong, but did not know
how TO make it right and when we ap-
preached the place he was both angry and
embarrassed, exhibiting every appearance OF
being exceedingly ashamed Of what he was
about. Perhaps the building partner was
wanting in the concern and SO the nest max.
ing never advanced beyond the mere collect
ing of the raw material.

The Injurious Habit of Lying Long in Bed.

The Injurious Habit of LyinE Long in Bed.
No piece of Incidence hurts the health
more than the modern custom of lying abed
too long in a morning. This is the general
practice in great towns. Some of the inhab-
itants seldom rise before eight or nine o'clock;
but the morning is, undoubtedly, the best
time for exercise, while the stomach is empty
and the body refreshed with sleep. Besides,
the morning air braces and strengthens the
nerves, and in some measure answers the
purposes of q cold bath.
Let any one, who has been accustomed
TO lie in bed till eight or nine. o'clock,
rise by six or seven, spend a couple
of hours in walking, riding or any active di-
version without doors, and he will find his
spirits cheerful and serene throughout the
day, his appetite keen, and his body braced
and strengthened. Custom soon renders early
rising agreeable, and nothing contributes
more 10 the preservation Of the health. The
inactive arecontinually complaining OF pains,
&c. These complaints, which pave the way
to many others, are not to be removed by
medicines; they can only be cured by Wig.
orous course of exercise, TO which indeed
they seldom fail to yield. We learn by OBJ
servation, that all very old men have been
early risers. This is the only circumstance
attending longevity to which we never knew
an exception. N " d'frE ~. ,i.H'd i,

COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS.
Monetary and Commercial

Very little financial change from Wednes-
day occurred yesterday in Third-street when
the demand for Money was brisk-with many,
more so than on the previous day, though
not stringent; holders of good Paper placing

sequence of preparations for Tomorrow, but

were rather light, though not particularly 80
for the season. .-.
Eastern Exchange ruled as it did on
Wednesday-being steady but not stiff at n

sometimes sold to their fellow-Bankers at a
fraction below the regular price, but charged
the current rates to their customers and out
siders. -.. .. .... ...

doubted character, but not caring to buy any
large amount at that figure. t

alteration whatever, and little doing in either.

tons being larger than for a week past; ], 4S9
