The Lmdy and the ksObber.

In large, lonely house. situated in the south
of England, there once lived lady and her two
maid servants They were far away FROM all
human habitations, but they seemed to have felt
no fear but to have dwet there peacefully and
happily. 1t was the lady's custom, with her
maids, to go round the house every evening to
see if all the windows and doors were properly
secured One night she had accompanied them
as usual, and found that all was safe. They left
her in the passage close to her room, aud then
went to their own, which was quite at the outside
of the house. As the lady opened the door she
distinctly saw aman under the bed what could
she do? Her servants were far away, and could
not hear her if she screamed for help, and even
| if they had come to her assistance, those three
weak women were no match for q desperate

it on the inside, which she always in the habit

one sees a more lorcible instance of the " pursuit
of knowledge under difficulties, than is recorded
in the following sketch Of u yerdant Connecticut

fireman an essay on the power OF " white neat,

AT length his - inquiring mind' was checked
in the investigations. lie had mounted on the
wbeelhouse, aud was asking the pilot,
"Wbat you doin' that for, Mister what good

He was here observed by the Captain, who said
in gruif voice,

No talking to the man at the helml Go way !"

:" Well you do know now that you can't talk to

With unwtting willingness the verdant youth
came down and as it was soon dark, ne went
below but four or five times before he " turned
in,n he was on deck and near the wheelhouse,
eyeing il with a thoughtful curiosity but with
the Captain's rebuff still ia his ears Ventured to
ask no question.
In the first gray of morning he was up and out
on deck and after some hesitation, perceiving
nobody near save the pilot, who was turning the
wheel as when he had last seen him, he asked his
suppressed question in an obiique style, somewhat
characteristic Of his region:

PREDICTIONS FOR lS6i-The year 1861 will be
a very eventfu one-to every maiden who gets
married. Throughout the whole course of the
year, whenever the moon wanes the nights will
grow dark. Whoever is in love this year will
think his mistress an angel. Whoever gets mar
ried will find out whether it be true. He that
loses his hair this year will go bald. lie that
loses his wife will become a widower. If Young
lady should happen to blush, she will look red in
the face if she dreams of young man three
nights in succession, it will be a sign of some
thing if she dreams of him four times, or have
the tooth ache, it is ten to one that she is long
