Ess AND EssEs.- From the Methodist J.
" So you have finished your studies at he

closing exercises. The author Of that poem
Miss White, think you called herr bids
fair TO become known as poet"
awe think the aUtboress will become
celebrated as poetess," remarked the young
lady pertly, with marked emphasis on two
words Of the sentence.
t-ah!" replied the old gentleman,
looking tboughtfuily over bis specia"les at
the young lady. I" l hear her sister YVES quite
an actress, and under Miss HoSmet's insruc.
tons will undoubtedly become quite scnlp-
toress." The young lady appeared irritated.
1.-THE seminary" continued the old gen.
tlcmap, with imperturbable gravity, "is for.
tunate in having an efficient board Of mana
geresses. From the presideutess down to
the humblest teachereSs unusual talent is
shown. There is Miss Harper, who as a
chemistress is unequalled, and Mrs. Knowles
has already reputation as au ASTRONOMERS.
And in the department Of music few Gun
equal Miss Kellogg as siDgercss."
The young lady did not appear to like the
chair she was sitting on. She took the sofa
at the other end Of the room.
"Yes," continued the old gentleman, as il
talking to himself, those White sisters are
very talented. Mary, I understand, has
turned her attention to painting and the
drama, and will surely become famous as a
paintereSs, and even as ectureSs.
loud slamming of the door caused the
old gentleman to look up. and the criticesS
and grammarianess was gone.

man of some property. and claims 10 have
spent several thousand dollars in perfecting
his collection.
He has over thousand, oil told, which
nave come from every quarter of the globe,
md which represent almost every nation ard
age, and which, also, are sign hicant Of many
superstitionS which have linked themselves
with this popular article Of ornament. Some
OF the most curious, Though less valuable,
specimens are the Indian andEgyptian coins,
which were formerly made in the shape OF
rings, and OF which many specimens are found
in large museums. They are usually OF
gold, ahd sometimes very heavy ard vau.

genuine coins bear NEUROLOGICAL figures of

value, was found in Greek urn, where il
had undoubtedly been deposited with the
ashes of the dead.
