MIR. CLAY AND THE GOAT.

Almost everybody in Washington city re-
members an old he-goat which formely in-
habited MAYORS stable on Pennsylvania
Avenue. The animal was in all probabili-
ty, the most independent citizen of the me-
tropolis; he belonged to no party, though
he frequently gave the passengers striking
proofs of his adhesion to the 'levelipg' prin-
ciple; for whenever person stopped any
where in his vicinage, Billy was sure to
make at him, horns and all. The boys took
delight in irritating this long-bearded gen.
tleman, frequently annoyed him 80 that he
would make against lamp p-posts and trees to
their great amusement.
One day the luminary of the West, Hen
ry Clay, was passing along the Avenue, and
seeing the boys intent on worring Billy in
to fever, stopped, and with his character.
istic humanity, expostulated with them on
their cruelty.
The boys listened in silent awe to the elo-
queut appeal of the great statesman; but it
was all Cherokee to Billy, who-the un-
grateful scamp-arose majestically on his
hinder legs, and made desperate plunge
at his friend and advocate.
Mr.. Clay, although he had not slain a
Mexican proved himself too much for his
assailant he seized hold of both horns of the
goat, and then was the tug of war'-for
Greek had met Greek. The struggle was
long and doubtful.
sHah = exclaimed the statesman, Il have
got you fast now, you rascal I'll teach you
better manners. But boys continued he,
turning to the laughing urchlns, 'what shall
I 60 now?'
why, trip, trip up his feet, Mr.. Clay
said they.
Mr.. Clay did as he was told, and after
many serve efforts, brought Billy down on
his side. Here he looked at the boys i'm
ploringly, as much as to say, Il never was in
such fix before
The combatants were nearly exhausted ;
Billy had the advantage, for he was gaining
breath all the while that the statesman was
losing it.
Boys,,' exclaimed he, putting and blow,
ing, sthis is rather an awkard business
What am I to do now?'

sAh, but what else-what greater things
did he do? inquired the old gentleman
No one knew. u. ... ....
A long explanation ensued after which
several minor questions passed of pretty
we'll, with the assistance of the private sig
nails before agreed upon when the old gen.
tleman, much encouraged; inquired if any
one could tell him who had once resided on
the island of Juan Fernandez, whereupon
one enterprising scholar replied, loudly:
Fernando Wood?'
This completely annihilated the old gen.
tleman, who retired quickly from the scene
of action. .--. -.. ---.. o.
After this the audience generally went
to sleep, while the scholars had intermit-
ting attacks of music, parsing and gram
mar, relieved by little bad spelling
Then very bashful little boy recited a
poem in such very low voice that no one
knew what he was reading. Some rather
vague remarks were made by one or two
gentlemen, and the much talked.of exami-
nation was over. s-'! -t.s>1

I retired to rest that evening under the
impression that the examination had been
rather dull affair. What, then, was my
astonishment when the first column of the
next mornings paper on which my eye
rested undeceived me? 1t run as follows {:
THE EXAMINATION OF SCHOOL,
Never in all our lives have we been SO
thrilled with delight and astonishment, so
enchanted, charmed, and gratifed, as we
were on witnessing the recent examition
which took place at the - School-nev-
er, yet we have roamed through many lands
and viewed the festivities of many a day
ftly celebrated by pomp and pageant!
Entering the academic hall, we stood
amidst band of white-robed children, fair
as pictured seraphs, and while we gazed
entranced, food of melody, harmonious,
tender, and enhancing beyond description,
burst upon our ears. Fair woman dewey
eyed and stately, fitted among their tiny
charges, encouraging them by word and
smile to dazzling efforts. And men, the
first our land could boast, were there, pre-
pared to listen kindly to the lisping tongue
of infancy. An attentive and anxious au-
dience, composed of parents and friends
were present; and when the exercises be-
gan, every eye was riveted on the charming
group, and every heart beat quickly
Flashes of wit and CLEANS of intellect fash
ed along the youthful group, like lightning
athwart the summer sky; and ever and
anon those infant voices rose in melodious
cadence fitted to childhood's tongues and
hearts alike
"A young gentleman delivered poem,
selected with great taste and judgement, in
most dramatic and effective manner; and
after some words of wisdom had been spo-
ken by those we'll fitted for the task, we par

bright moments can be blotted from the
minds of those who witnessed them
