The Yankee Fox Skin. * ‘ Mornia’ Squire,’. said a down-caster, giving a nod and a wink to Lyman & Towle, as those gentlemen stood in their one morning, ‘up and dressed’ for hosiness. 1 How are you, sir 2’ said the merchant. ‘ Pooty well, considering the state of things in general. I say' yeou sell skins here, don’t yeou ‘ m occasionally, was the response. ‘ Wal, so I calculated j but fox skins tew, X reckon V ' Sometimes, Why, have you got some for sale ? 1 1 Some. Yes, I guess I have one: it’s some tew, I tell yeou.” ILet s look at it,’ said one of the mer chants. ' The owper of the skin tugged at the capacious .pocket of his .old yellow-over cbtttfora few minutes, and out came a Jttotfy good-sized bang-up of a Venerable . ‘V*** is-r* perfect bewty is it too. Aintit?’ ; * Seen finer ones,’ said Towle. , f f raps you have, and )iraps yeou haint: Ldew think its a rale b.cwty, slick WWPy.as.li brmi new hat.’ > / When did you get this skin the fiterehaint. get it?* Why, when ! the darned critter, of oonrse.* or when ■?* - J Well I reckon ’twarnt far from tje FonrA pf duly) any way, forTdjust W *hy old shootin’ piece £nr pai rade on the glorious anniversory,and along comes the old critter, and I just gave him a rip in the gizzard that settled his hash mighty sudden, I tell yeou.’ ' < Fox skins/ said merchant, ‘ are not veiy good when taken in hot weather; the far and skin is very thin, and not fit for much in summer/ ’ v , ' ? • < Wal, ncow, I reckon since I come to think it over, 'twamfc hot weather when I shot the critter; no, I’ll be darned if it was; made a thunderin’ mistake ’bout that, for 'twas nigh on to Christmas—was, by -gojly, for I and Seth Perkins wor goin to a frolic.

I guess it was rayther lean, kind o’ lean, tre-men ious loan; old varmint was about to die of starvation: never did see sneh a: darned eternal, starved, lean, lank, famished crit ter on the airth before!' ‘Very poor, eh?’ says Lyman. ‘ Very poor ? I guess it was: so migh ty poo? that the old critter’s, bones stuck clean jeOnght, almost through his skin: hadn’tkUled it just, when I did, 'twould have died afore it got ten rods further along. Fact, by golly/ ■ A said the merchant, we see that skin is poor; the fur is thin and loose, and would not suit us/ * Want suit yeou? Now, look ahere yeou,'gays the Yankee, folding up his versatile skin, ‘ I don’t kind o’like such dealin' as thjit, no heow, and I’U be darn ed to darnation, ef yeou ketch me tradin’ for skins with yeou agin there ain’t no lumber in the State of Maine.’ And the holder of the skin vamosed. “I Have Not Begum to Fight Yet.” The above language of the gallafit and brave Paul Jones, when the British com mander asked if he had struck hb flag and surrendered, arc memorable words. Al tho’ lib deck was slippery and streaming with the blood • of hb gallant crew, hb ship was on fire, hb guns were nearly every one dismounted, his colors shot away , and hb vessel gradually sinking, Paul Jones with an immortal herobm, contin ued to fight. SDo you surrender ?” shout ed the £nglbh captain, desiring to pre vent further bloodshed, and seeing the colors of the 800 Homme Richard gone, supposed the American hero wished to surrender. Hb answer was, “ I hate not begun to fight yeti” The scene b thus described;—There was a lull in the con flict for an instant, and the boldest field hb breath as Paul Jones, covered with blood and black with powder stains, jump ed on a broken gun carriage, waving hb sword, exclaimed in the never-to-be-for gotten words, “ I have not begun to fight yet!” And the result was the battle changed, and in a few minutes the British ship struck her colors, and surrendered,' and Paul Jones, leaping from the British vessel a conqueror and a hero. What an admirable watchword for the battle of.life, does the above stirring incident give to every man. Reverse may overwhelm for a time, despair may ask hope to strike her flag, but planting the foot more firmly, oeUding the back more readily to the bur dens imposed, straining the muscles to the utmost tension, and bracing the drooping heart, let him who is driven to the wall, exclaim, «I have not begun to fight yet.” They sire words of energy, hope and ac tion. They deserve, they will command success. ' in the darkest hour let them ring out and forget the past, the years wasted and gone by, and give them as an inaugural address of a new era. When the misfortunes of life gather too closely around*, let the battle cry go forth from the thickest 'of the conflict, «I have not to fight,” and you will find your foes flee before the new strength imparted, and yielding the vantage as you press for ward in the battle strife. ' Dumfounding a Dandy.— On board a western steamer, a live Yankee and a dandy sat directly opposite cacli other at the table. After the captain had paid grace, the dandy threw himself hack on his dignity, and called oat in a pompous tope for the waiter. , *Yo«u waitah! bwing me the supportah of a yohng female hen, a egg, and safcrub.toehottom of rhy plate witoaspe cimen of frmt vulgarly called an onion, which will give my dinqah a delicious fla vah.* <YeauaU-fired,dod-blasted,dod-rabbit cd,.pesky-lookin little trained black nig ge»)ffofam me a peck of corn, and a bundle oftbdder, and rub me down with a brick bat wbSe I feed.’ Men leased to think of masticating, while a» uproarious yell fiiirhr shook the cabin, awing which the dandy was . seep streak* ing. out the door .with a finger in each ear. .. \ boyworked hard all for a quarter: he ap ples and took themtotown and «ddthem in Federal street for a dollar, with the dollar he bought a sheep. The sheep brought him a lamb,and her fleece brought another dollar. With a dollar he bought another sheep. The next spring he had two sheep, two lambs, ana a yearling sheep. The fleeces he sold for three dob lara, and bought three more sheep. He worked, where he found opportunity, for hay, com and oats, and pasturing for sheep. He took tho * choicest care of them and soon had a flock. Their wool enabled him to huy a pasture for them, and by the time he was twenty-one, he had a fair start ip life, and all from the quarter earned in one day; ' ■ §&* |to adove the world, and from’ youifowh sense of right and wrong. w ' [INDEPENDENT IN EVSStTBING.] here, Flirtation, Jealoasy and A young man named Albert 6. El drigde, a resident of Toledo, committed suicide by | jumping overboard from the screw steamer Nortben Light, on her last trip down. The circumstances of the case are peculiar, and showto what an extent the feelings may be wrought upon by that all powerful sentiment love. Mr. Eldridge was in-company with a pleasure party who had made tne tour of Lake Superior. Among these wasa young lady from Cleveland, named Miss H——, daughter of a heavy forwarding merchant in that city. To this young lady, who was everything attractive and interesting, the unfortunate young man was devotedly attached. How long the attachment had existed, or to what extent it was reciprocated, we are not able to say but his attentions were very assiduous du ring the early portion of the trip. He jived in the pure light of an undivided love, and was most happy in being near its object rat least so his undisguised and open actions indicated. AH went on hap pily until ; the return of the boat, when she received as a passenger, a young man, whobecamp acquainted with Miss H and hence forth devoted himself to her. She seems to have entered into the flirta tion with a keen zest; so keen, in fact, that her lover was driven into a most unmistak able fit of the blues. He spent his time in walking jtho upper deck with his hands in his with his feet hang ing over the side, and leaning over the stern, gazing into the dark troubled wa ters, that rivalled the commotion which that worst of all disappointments— a love derided—ha 4 stirred up in his own bosom. At Mackinac the party went ashore to in spect the Island, and wanted him to accom pany them. He moodily refused, saying that he wasj not wanted. His conduct at tracted attention of everybody on board which made his poor case worse, for no body has syimpathy with the trouble of a lover, except those who are bound in the same ties, bhortly on entering upon Lake Huron he was accosted by his mistress as he sat by himself on the side of the boat. She placed her hand upon his shoulder and spoke to him in an inquiring tone. He replied that he bad no desire to min gle in the diversions of his companions, but would rather die at once. She replied kindly, desiring him not to speak so, and requested him to come into the cabin In stead of complying, he gave her one look, and without a word, plunged overboard. A scream from the lady brought the re mainder of ihe company to her side. He was seen to struggle for a few moments and then to sink never to rise. With the image of his beloved before his eyes be sprang into the cold embrace of death without an instant’s thought or prepara tion. | He was ai young man of good standing in Toledo, and has been engaged in busi ness there (for some years. The lady is of one of the best families in Cleveland, and the event excited* no little feeling. Eyery effort was made to keep the event still, the oflijcers of the boat reporting that he foil overboard accidentally, but we have the above facts from passengers who came down on th<| boat, who were cognizant of circnmsteneps from beginning to end.— Detroit Free Press, July 20. There is much more intellect in birds than people [suppose. An instance of this occurred the other day at a slate quarry belonging t<| a friend, from whom we have the narrative. A thrush not aware of the expansive properties of gunpowder, tho’t proper to build her nest on a ridge of the quarry, in toe very centre of which they constantly blasting toe rook. At first she was much discomposed by the fragments flying inail directions, but still she wbuld not quit her locality.-—- She observed that a bell rang whenever a train was about to be fired, and that at the notice too workman retired to safe posi tions. In'a few days, when she heard the; bell, she quitted her exposed situation and flew down to where toe workmen shelter ed themselves, dropping close to their There! She would remain until the explqsion had taken place, and then re turn to her nest- The workmen observed t*us and narrated it to their employe, and it was also told to visitors, who natu rally expressed a wish to witness so enri oqs a specimen of intellect, but as the rook oould pot always bo blasted when vimtprs emp,. toe bell was rung instead, and for a few days .answered toe same pur-; pose.

In the Spring rand .Su&mer.the different classes would fitequently permission to be absent'ftom the- building for the space of a dayjmd as a matter of course also absent from recitation. The members of the class. thus befriended would often take up their lihe of march to some sequestered spelt in a distant or neighboring wood. *■ : Sometimes they would get up a sort of pic-nio minus ladies, and after patakingof pies and cakes, their patriotism would be gin to bubble up, and speeches, toasts and responses would consume the remainder of the dim*. In the evening they would return, refreshed perhaps in mind hut al most tired out in body,: Our class once had a ‘jubilee,’ as we called it, and the woods were made to echo with the voice of eloquence and queer sayings. After we had assembled in a delightful place shaded by tall oaks and beneath the branches of which gUshed a spring of clear water, we partook of our provbions which were spread out upon the green sward before us, when toasts were proposed by one iand agreed to be given and responded to by all of us. Va rious kinds were givenw“ good, bad and indifferent”—and were responded to in like manner, each trying to excel the other in eloquence of style and intent upon eli citing the loudest applause. One toast, ! remember, ran thus ;. ‘‘ The girls we left behind ns—The lovely and innocent cap tors of our hearts; their kisses sweeten out lives, their embraces herflumix us; may they, on our return, receive ns with outstretched arms and almost smother us with kisses.” That was a toast and it had to be responded to, and they “vociferously yelled for me. I .arose; not knowing how to commence or what to say, until after a little reflection I began ; and warming up with the subject as I proceeded, I gave vent to such streams of fustian eloquence that astonished me; blowing away, I soared aloft upon the ‘wings of thought,’ when, wishing to stop, J came down ker ckng! When taking my seat beside an old stump, (| was compelled to stop for want of more to say,) T was almost stunn ed by the deafening shouts that rent the. air, the cause of which I did not know, unless it was the fact of my harangue be ing filled with nothing but pointless illu sions, butchered metaphors and horrible encomiums pronounced upon the female form divine. After we were regaled by some mpre fanciful speechcs r we started for College, feeling not a little like orators. Some time after the foregoing occur rence, one of the higher classes got per mission to take a stroll; into the country (for their health, of cpiirse,) on a certain Tuesday, and we, feeling our importance, thought that the like permission would be granted us on the fallowing Thursday. So we drew up a petition, signed by every member of the class, twenty in number, soliciting Thursday as a|day for recreation. However, toe Faculty concluded not to comply with our request at that time —we concluded that we ought *1 of right should be treated not less indulgently than the class preceding ns. We had to recite three times on Thursday—at eight, eleven and four—and we therefore con sidered it a ‘ hard dayhence our desire to avoid ft Eighteen of our number roomed in the building, the remaining two in town. Two members of the class on Thursday morning made it their busi ness to visit toe rooms of their nlnann,at*>s to see how many were ip ftyor of absent ing themselves from recitation (hat day, assigning, as a reason for dfttr meditated absence indisposition. iThey found; that all of their number wholroomedra Goitre were indisposed to reoitp that day. v lie hour of eight came. 3?wo of ouy class mates (those who roomed lit town>) were only members ofour oftss who made theft npnearapee in thq recitation room. After they had gone through into toe fonnula of reciting, toe Professor went down to the D&tdrs room and told him that toe -r—- class was broken up, that only two had been there)and that he beard toe class had a meeting-and had resolved Wof to mpits, but to resist the authority of Faculty. Upon Ibis startling an nounoemeht, the Doctor’s rage knew no bounds. He rushed from his study, and went directly to too room of the person b® supposed as toe ringleader in the ‘ re sistance.' He asked him if he intended tp go to recitation at cloven o’clock. The stadent told him that he thought he woidq’nt go that day. ‘What is your exofisof’ inquired the = Doctor. f T will f*ve ihy excuse to the Professor to whom recite,’ replied the student; ‘and if the excuse be not satisfactory to him he can mark it BP in my character bill.’ ‘ You aro expelled from the institution I’ shout ed the Doctor., He then went to other rooms and did the same, after which he oanfc to mine. ‘ Mr. are. you going to recitations at eletetf o'clock?’ hfe asked. ‘No aft’said 1/and I Was aboht {q tell S. i- A *svr:.z:\v.

The Doctor told Kith that he was not included among those who re sisted authority, that sickness was his ex- absence at recitation. Peter rose to his feet and respectfully said: “I see ndhostile intentions oh the part of these classmates—-each oh'e. has ac ied for irrespective of the other; the clasp ia about to be expelled because ettoh -member ebose to stay i #ay froin fchiia and fbr which absence no doubt each one can and will give a sufficient excuse to the proper person if permitted to. go to recitation this morning; I therefore think that they have done nothing to merit ex pulsion/ ‘Well, then,’ said the Doctor, * you are included.’ He then said .thath© wia about to read the action that ihe Faculty had taken; But before ho did s 6 ho prefaoed it with soine of his own re marks.
