the heterogeneousInature of this school
not only all ages usually found in
school, but many different nationali-
ties being represented, Miss Otis de-
serves credit for good measure of
success. 1t is to be hoped that the
time will soon come when this large
school will be divided into two de-
partments, and the effect Of faithful
labor in the school-room made more
than doubly apparent.
Such, gentlemen, is my report; and,
asking you to make all allowance for
the difficulty with which [ could find
time to attend to the duties of the
Superintendent's Office, and for con-
sequent errors in my impressions of
different schools and teachers (if such
have occurred), and thanking you for
the honor conferred upon me one
year ago, | respectfully hope you will
exhmerate me from these duties in
th" ttgre.

Cousin Kate was a sweet, wide-awake
beauty of about seventeen, and she took
il into her head to 90 down on Long
Island to see some relations of hers who
had the misfortune to live there. Among

Young swain who had seen Kate on a
previous occasion, and seeing, fell deep
ly in love with her. He called at the
house on the evening of her arrival, and
she met him on the piazza where she
was enjoying the evening air, in COM
pany with two or three of her friends.
The poor fellow was so bashful that ne
could not find his tongue for some time.
At length he stammered out
''HOw's your mOther2"
Quite well, thank YOU
Another silence on the part of Josh,
during which Kate and her friends did
the best they could to relieve the mo-
nOtOny. After waiting about fifteen
minutes for him to commence to make
himself agreeable, he again broke the
spell by:
Flows your father?r which was ans
wered after the same manner as the first
one, and then followed another silence
like the other.
''HOw's your father and mother ~

quite, well, both of them. This was
followed by an exchange of chances and q
suppressed smile.
This lasted some ten minutes more,
during which Josh was fidgeting in his
seat and stroking his Sunday hat. But
at length another question came
"HOw's your parents ?"
This produced an explosion that made

picks out a mellow place to eat you.
If | waz i'm the habit of swearing, l
I wsuld not hesitate to damn q bed-bugg
right to his face.
Bed-buggs are uncommon smart in a
small way-one pair of them will stock
a hair mattress in weeks with bugs
enuff to last small family whole year.
1t don't do emmy good to pray when
bed-buggs are in season; the only way
to get rid of them is tew bile up the
whole bed in aquafOrtis and then heave
it away and buy new one.
Bed-buggs when they have grone all
they intend to, are about the size of a
bluejay's eye, and have a brown COM
plexion' and when they start out to gar

1t takes them three days to git the
swelling out of them.
If bed-buggs have emmy destiny to fill,
it must be their stummuks, but it does
seem to me they must have been made
by acksident, just as slivvers are, tew
stick into somebody.
If they was got up for some wise pur-
pose they must hev took the wrong road,
far there kan'tbe emmy wisdom in chew

CHAPTER II.

Mark Richardson, the father of the
promising. young man who has been
recommended to the kind attention of
ourreaders, was an opulent landholder,
residing in Charleston. Althougha ma
tive of the soil, he was altogether in the
British interest-in fact, thorough
paced tory. His wife and daughter, the
latter very amiable young lady of
twenty, were strongly infected with the
same principles, and his only son was
as yet unsupported of any hostility to
the royal cause.
Early in the afternoon of the day with
which this narrative commences, old
Mr.. Richardson entertained two guests,
namely: aneighbor of his-Mr. Carville
and his daughter, the incompatible
Letitie, to whom some reference has al

GOOD WILL.-Prentice, of the Louis
rifle Journal, says many good things
and now he intimates what his will
would be if he was rich. What an idea
to suppose an Editor could be rich! He
says:
If L possessed the most valuable things
in the world, and was about to will
them away, the following would be my
plan of distribution
would give the world truth and
friendship, which are so very scarce.
would give to physicians skill and
learning.
/ would give to printers their pay.
To gossiping women, good sense,
modesty, large waists and natural teeth.
To young sports and dandies, common
sense, little cash and hard labor.
To old maids, good tempers, smooth
faces, little talk and good husbands.
To old bachelors, love for virtue, chill
dren and wives.
