John II. Brooks, Tor the earnest and able manner
In which he has advocated the interests OF the
colored schools In the District Legislature, and
also 10 both branches OF the Legislature for
their liberal action with reference 10 the same
interestn. And further
suits evidenced by the school examinations
which have Just closed, we feel under great obli-
cations 10 the teachers generally for the faithful

charged the trusts confided TO them, and that In
bidding them farewell At the commencement OF
their vacation, we express our sincere wishes
for their enjoyment Of that rest aud recreation
which they have 50 fully and fairly earned.

SIN: In reading the account OF the rellgiouA
services held yesterday In the Epiphany church,
and the remarks Of Mr.. Watkins 10 the children,
was fOrcby struck with his statement, IN
speaking Of the Bible, TO the effect that on one
occasion wu man In some part OF Germany, oc-
cupied IN baking bread, aud knowing that q
Catholic priest was coming TO take away her
Dible, thrust Il into the dough, then baked 10 In
tho oven, the said Bible thereby having been
preserved and Is now great curiosity In the
State OF OHIO, having been seen by thousands.
OF course, Mr.. Watkins knew that he was ad-
dressing little children; but then some regard
for truth, u not fOr any reputation that he may
have present or prospective, might have induced
him TO keep so deectable q little morsel OF food
all to himself. .. --...I ..y .#l.
Come, now, Brother Watkins, takn all this
back, every word, or give US tue proof Of this bak
ing operation, morally and physically, else this
cake OF yours, which Is all very nnc, perhaps, In

Che Count de Ghambord upon the throne as
Henri V, am able to say with pcsitiveness
that Prince Bismarck is disposed to give
the strongest support to the Count de, Cham
bord if certain assurances in regard to his
attitdte towards Italy and the PaPacy upon
his ascendfng the throne can be OBTAINED.
Prince Bismarck recognizes the fact that it
would be perfectly hopeless to attempt to
obtain these assurances from the Count de
bord himself, who is a man utterly without
guile. ana whsse soul is IS wfapt up in the
two ideas Of his divine right to rule France,
and Of his equally divine duty as the ruler
Of FrarYce to restore the temporal power Of
the Pope; but the men Who viii surround,
aavise. and pebaps to some extent control
the Count &c Gharpbora, should he become
King are Believed BY Prince Bismarck 70 be
more amepable to the arguments which he
can place befofe them; ana he has within the
last few DAYS opened negotiations with these
men in the sense. Of promising them his sup;
port for Henri V If they on his part, and
without asking his consent, pledge them

them. lie was poor, without connections.
Still he studied, lived in great poverty, but
keeping cheerful hsart, and trying to look
at the fnture, which seemed so grim 10 him.
His good humor and excellent qualities made
him beloved by his comrades.
One day he was standing In the square
with some of them prattliug away an hour
of leisure, when the attention Of the young
men became arrested by young and ele.
giant lady, who, by the side Of an oldor one,
was slowly walking over the place. IL was

verness. She was generally known for her
goodness and gentleness Of character, oud
looked at with admiration by ah the stu.
dents. AS the young men stood gazing at
her as she passed, like graceful vision, one
of them suddenly exclaimed
"Well, it would be worth something To
have a kiss from such lips"
The poor student hero Of our story, who
looked on that pure angelic face, exclaimed,
az if by inspiration;
"Well, think could have t."
"WellP' cried his friends, in chorus,
"are you crazy Do you know herY"
Not at all he answered. But think
che would kiss me if | asked her"

eyesY'

Freely?"
"Yes, freely"
"Well, if she would give you kiss in
that manner, will promise to give you a
thousand thalers," exclaimed one Of. the
party.
And I. and Ip' exclaimed three or four
others, for it happened that several very rich
young men were in the group, and the ODDS
ran high on 50 improbable an event The
challenge was given and received in less
time than we take to tell il,
Our hero (my authority tells not whether
he was plain or handsome; / however have
reasons for believing he was rather plain,
but singularly good looking at the sane
time) Immediately walked up to the young
lady and said:
"Mein fraelein, my fortune is row in
youc hands"
She looked at him with astonishment, but
arrested her steps. lle proceeded to state
his name and condition, his aspiration, md
related what had happened between hira and
his companions
The Young lady listened attentively, and
at his ceasing to speak, she said, blushingiy,
bat with much sweetness:
If By SO little thing so much good can
be effected, it would be wicked in me to To-
fas9 your request" and publicly in the open
air, she kissed him.
The next day the student was sent for By
the Governor Te wanted to see the man
who had dared to seek a kiss from his
daughter in that way, and whom she con
sented to kiss
He received him with sorutinizine how
but sftor an hours conversation was so vel
pleased with him, that he asked him 70
dine at his table during his studies at the
University.
