materially effected by measles and scar

The highest branches taught were
Philosophy and Astronomy, but the
scholars, SO far as they have advanced,
appear to understand their studies as
thoroughly as those Of any school we
ever visited. Their reputation as SPELL
ers is widespread; but their recitations
proved, as we have often heard, that
they are fully as good in mathematics,
ANALYSIS and other studies.

The Manners AND APPEARANCE OF
CHIEF JUsTIcE CHAsE.--Let us glance
around these rooms, and see whom We
can see. In all this throng OF heroes,
statesmen, Cabinet ministers, and Sen
ators, there is one form pre-eminently
prominent and that is the grand form
of Chief Justice Chase. His noble
face reflects the true nobility of his
soul. It is the head of Webster, with
Webster's massive sternness softened
into the most engaging benevolence.
Such form and such face would
grace-ay, honorary palace in the
world. Perhaps there is not public
man in America with so many warm
personal friends as the distinguished
Chief Justice OF the United States.
No person can approach him without
going away pleased; his cordiality
wins all hearts. It was said'o Marl
borough that it was greater pleasure
to be refused favor by him than to
receive favor from any other man.
Ahis may be said with greater truth OF
the Chief Justice, for whether he
grants or refuses favor, it is done
with perfect sincerity, that Is more than
can be affirmed OF the victor OF BleB-
helm, the first general, but most con-
summate hypocrite OF his age.-[Frem

The Two ScRocGlNsEs.-Mr. John Il.
Chisholm, who died in this city about
twenty years ago, was paying.teller OF
the Farmers and Mechaeics' Bank tor
several years before his death. He
was native OF South Carolina, and
was about fifty years of age at the
time Of his decease. His fine social
qualities made him very popular.
Among his other talents was his great
ability as yecontewr, or rclator OF an
ecdotes. One OF his good stories was
the following, which was known
among his friends as 'sThe Two Scrog-
cinses::" An Irishman, who had been
absent for some time on fishing ex.
cursion, met Que ct his friends, who
inquired OF him what luck he had had.
"Oh,n he replied, 1--WE had most lie
giant time entirely" Who were Of
your party?" asked his friend. "There
were five OF u.s." was his answer "rherc
was myself, one, the two Scrogginses,
two; Terry Toole, three; Jim kasin,
four. There were five of us. There
was Terry Toole, one; myself, two;
the two Scrogginses, three; aud Jim
Kasin, four. There certainly ,cers five
Of us, There was Jim Kasin, one;
Terry Toole, two; myself, three, and

strange that can't remember who the
fifth man was! There was myself, one;

Mr.. Greeley is veteran in his pro-
fession, and what he says about it is
of very respectful consideration, as the
result OF great experience. At the
late dinner OF the Knights OF St. Pat.
rick, in responce to the toast OF the
Press, he made one Of the pleasant lit
tie speeches that roll SO fuently from
his lips upon festive occasions; and in
the course Of it he said: II insist that
the abuses of the press to-day are the
most conspicuous feature of the press,
and that the fault is entirely with
the public" Public persons, he said,
expect to be publicly criticised, but
there are thousands Of persons who
are not public, and by what right does
any newspaper make them the subject
of comment? And yet if any paper,
with the intention OF making itself "spi-
cy," and "allve," and "talked about"
drags into its columns the most private
persons and the most domestic events,
and invents gossip and retalls scandal
and the public supports the paper, and
buys it because it is SO "sarcy," then,
says Mr.. Greeley, the responsibility is
with the public. And he might have
added that when the individual who
thinks ''sarce" SO entertaining finds his
own wife and daughters and family
affairs served up in the same piquant
style, he will doubtless console himself
by rejecting how agreeable morsel
he is in that "sarce" to his neighbors.

There are those among us who have
long held that the steady decrease of
the Democratic party in Massachusetts,
was owing to the intelligence and pat
riotism of her sons. But one George
Lunt, shining member of the Con-
stitutional Club, Boston Democratic
organization, has robbed us of our pet
idea. In public speech to the Club
he made the astounding declaration
that the decentralization Of their party
was caused by the greater portion Of
its members having rushed to the war
to protect the Union. This gentleman,
we understand, once published vol
umc OF rhymes remarkable only for
their lack OF poetry. 1t he will WOO
the muse once more, selecting as his
theme the rush OF the Democracy for
the war to protect the Union, we can
promise him crownlng success.-[N.

And the birds on the wing heard me singing,
And dropped me blessing from the sky.
The flowers on the bank heard me singing,
And the buds that had been red and sweet

And their golden heart began to best.

towers;
The trees hung their garlands up above me.

For the shadows Of the forest in the moontide,
