A PATIENT ARTIsT.-The sculptor Gibson
relates that one day he went into his studio
Ia home, and there found an American ply
sician and his daughter, who, the father said,
used to be getting hands and feet from his
dissecting room and modelling them, and at
last insisted on going to Rome and studying
under Mr.. Gibson. Now. that gentleman did
hot take pupils, for he found they generally
came to teach him, instead of learning from
him; but be tod the lady 10 call next day,
when he set her to model in clay bust of
Medusa. Next day he went and found an
pneommonly good copy; but he thought, "lf
tell her 1t is AN excellent copy shall turn
her head"
So he said, ''Not bad, but you can do bet
ter; Try again" and deIaced the copy. Next
day she did better, and the advice and defac-
was surprised to see what she had done. and
took her as a pupil, On account OF her spirit
OF perseverance and willingness to be thor
oush. This pupil, the firs6 and only one that
Gibson ever took into his studio, was Harriet

In the vi LACE of lived a man who had
once been judge of the county, and well
known all over it by The name OF Judge r.
He kept store and saw mill, and was al
ways sure 10 have the best bargain on his
side, by which he had gained an ample for
tune; and some did not hesitate to call him
the biggest rascal in the world. He was very
conce!ted wIthal, and used to bra9 OF his
business capacity whenever any one was near
TO listen. One RAINY day, as quite a number
were seated round the stove, he began as
usual to tell OF hIs great bargains, and at
last wound up with the expression

can't neither"
Judge. Sid an old man of the company,
II have cheated you more than you ever did

How ?" said the judge.
at you'll promise you won't go to law
about it, nor do anything, I'll tell you, or else
won't; you are too much OF law cEarac-

"Yes, did, and interest, too"

judge.
We'll, you see, judge, sold you one day

for lot more. Wen, that log stole off your
pie down at the mill, the night before, AMI
the next day | sold it to you The next
night drew it back home and sold it to YOU
the next day, and so kept on until you had
Dough. your own log Of me twenty-seven

That's a lien' exclaimed the Infatuated
Judge, running to his book and examining his

The exclamation OF the judge was drowned
by the shout OF the bystanders. and the log
