All the time I was at College, the “ town boys” cherished hatred towards the stu dents. Ibis arose from various causes, prominent among which was the intimacy existing between the students and the la dies. The “ town boys” hspl to stand back when the students wanted to “ go it” with the JodiesHence the enmity that ex isted. x Other less important reasons plight be given, but the one already mentioned was sufficient to keep the spark of hatred living. It vvould sometimes manifest it self in furtiye glances and smothered im precations'; sometimes, handling into a flame, it would, lead .to personal col lisions of not mnbh importance. Some of the ladies would (frequently succeed in getting a husband out of the number at tending. College; others not quite so lucky, would experience the of seeing their beaux graduate and j*o off, leaving them in a state of single blessed ness to enjoy its disappointments" a little longer. It truly was hazardous ou„ their part to risk so much in-the uncertain hope of getting one, who, in nine cases out of ten, had left a lofed one behind him. The students in the higher elates were the. principal ones who made it a practice of visiting the ladies. Those in the lower classes believed, and I thihk correctly too, that they should not become so familiar with the fair sex, at least at College ,where they would very likely he tempted to visit .them often to the neglect of their studies, pence, when vacation would come,'and deairing to makc the most of their time white books were: thrown aside, they would make some awkward blunders in the pre sence Of ladies. When Speaking to them, they would sometimes Bay,,' { ‘Tes sir’' and “No sir;” l( Good morn ing, sir/’ etc., when •no gentleman was .present. At the commencement of each session, there were’some rich, rare and racy expe riences related. .Some had been beauti fully jilted; others had.been captivated hy a pair of eyes.j a few had .plight ed their'hearts. I remember of a student onetftcdling me that he had <f popped * the que^ron ,> to one 'of < Eve's fair daughters vacation, and nqvr he had a notiqni to hapk dutj for,ho took a second thongto. q i haye yeiqs to stay jie, Pand' that’ is too long to wait/' : I inquired if he thpiig£t she would wait solong. pe said he didn’t ask her. 1 told. him that I thought she wouldn’t wait so long upop him since he nPuiifested such ignorance in the matter. I knownobwhat he made out of the affairj : pother stuident told me one time hqw ne hecanie enamored of a young lady. It was ho secret, for he told others. J wijl give it in his own language as near as I can remember : * ’ < “ I happened at a beautiful little village in which I wished to stop a week or'two. At the house where I remained was an accomplished lady of great personal attrac tions. She. was communicative and ex ceedingly interesting, and was very fond of regaling my ears with music from her piano ; and I became particularly fond of standing or sitting by Her side listening tp her sweet voice as it swelled in beautiful symphonies among the notes of the in strument. Two pieces of music she played more than any others, “ became,” she said,“,they were,, favorites of mine.” I began to think I loved her, but did’nt tell her so—-perhaps she knew it at any *ate. r ;{:> "• f• ;: T/* v ! “ After spending two delightful/weeks in that village, which I thought the 3: ■ns i f !- - // .

I' kissed her as we parted, and I think I feel that kiss ting ling in my heart now; ' Site asked me in a subdued voice to write,' informing her of iny arrival at college; I said I would, and I did so, besides telling her a good deal more than she asked, t I can safely tell ~yo U'that thoughts of ; her have frequently interrupted my studiesj| and if she were haiidy to college, they would certainly be interrupted much more. Xdid not plight my heart, hut only one thing prevented me from doing so, I had s not finished my studies. If she is single two years hence, I will offer my hand and my heart too.” 1 - A new student once : , came to college and entered our class who bid fair to ex cel. Each,one looked: to his own laurels, lest the stranger should, outstrip him in learning and carry off the palm. He pro gressed rapidly in every study he under took, until he became acquainted with a lady in town, when, from that time for ward, a great change for: the worse was clearly visible in his recitations. At night, after the rooms had been visited, he would lock his door and stdal out of the building, start for town and spend the greater part of the night with his flame. In studying his lessons;, he would often look from his dock and, after apparently revolving some thing in bis mind, would break out in ejaculations in praise of his “ ladyc love.” Thus he continued until he promised to marry her when he resolved, in order to shorten his stay at college, to take a par tial course. I could ! give a number of similar instances, showing the influence which females have upon certain persons at college—persons not able to bear up against the facinations of the opposite sex, but who yield to the soft pressure of a delicate hand, or who mistake a smile for a declaration of love, hut I forbear. The following beautiful essay, publish ed by the St. Louis Republican, as read by a young lady at the' St. Louis High School, is inspired by a lively fancy. It will remind the reader 1 of the sketch in Shirley, “ When the morning stars sang together,’’ and of Blanco White’s splen did sonnet, “ Mysterious Night:” “ In the beginning,” deeper than Egyp tian darkness was that) which enveloped the earth. No twinkling star relieved the solemn .blackness of the sky, nor tiny ray from the fire-fly’s feeble lamp enlivened the chaos; but all was silent, heavy darkness. Around the throne ,of . the mighty God was collected all light, which there shone with illimitable splendor- At last the omnipotent voice of the Creator pronounced the (words, u Let there be light,’* and from the! throne there is sued a yast,flood of glowing radiance which descended,on the swift wings of morning to illume the earth. Then arose a -,mighty shbut of joy from the assembled host of leaven, and '‘God said, ‘lt is good,’ ” j i Darkness drew her sotnbre mantle around her, and fled affrighted to the secret cav erns of the earth. t : The light danced merrily on the spark ling waves, and penetrated the deep ocean. Softly it called the hidden' .verdure from the cold bosom.of the earth, and joyfully it was obeyed. i ■ * ; The merry insect spoked on its wing, and life was throughout the regions' of the earth. ■ ,-jM Water resolved into I vapor and floated as fleecy clouds in the ait.

An Essay. “ LET THERE BE -LIGHT.” [iNDEPENpENT IN EVERYTHING.] ringlets of his hair, and thejseven colors, united in a beautiful combination left, their snowy impress on his'noble brow. Then God, the. maker, pronounced in loving tones those thrilling 1 words, “ Let there be light,” and living IjghMrom the Divine Spirit illuminated man’s frame, and he became an immortal being. He looked at the earth jand saw the springing flowers and the creeping reptiles. He gSzcd about him and beheld the vast ocean swelling and dashing*, and the tall forest trees covering the earth for many miles, and affording shade to!the innumer able animals that dwelt in peace and har mony. He raised his eyes to the heaven ly vault studded with stars, and strove in vain to penetrate the mysterious curtain. The man reasoned : “ Whoi could be the author of these wondrous things ?” And a mighty voice replied, “ It is I —the First and the Last.” And knap worshipped the great “ I am,” for he felt that He was his maker. But soon the clouds obscured the light; the tempter came with his insinuating wiles, and man forgot his God. ■ Then came Death, the King of Dark ness, to take the place of the lost Light. But God was merciful, and sent the glo rious Suu of Righteousness to drive dark ness away forever. j ■ The heavenly decree “ let there be light,” has been issued every time a new soul is born into the kingdom of Christ, and whenever the light of intelligence beams upon the- soul; though often in mercy the Good Father’s voicq remained silent, and the weeping friends, and the heart broken mother lament the birth of an idiot child, for those blessed words have not yet been spoken ; but they are spokep when ;T ' 'I- ‘The soul, freed from its cumbrous prison of city, Greets the eternal mom of a heavenly day.’ At last, when “ the earth is consumed by fire, and the earth passes away with a gfeat noise,” the light will return to Heav en, and shine with renewed splendor around the “Great White Throne.” There for an “eternity will it shine, re flected on the pure and happy faces of the blest. Singular Hare Hunt. A few days since, says the Petersburg Democrat, as Mr. Charles Warner, of this city, was going a short distance in the coun try on foot to visit u friend, he observed a bare in the road, just beyond the bridge which crosses Lieutenant iluu, in the rear of the heights, that appeared to be listening and looking back for something which pursued it. He §tood still, and hearing no dog, was curious to discover the cause of its alarm, when, to his sur prise, lie discovered the object of it to be a small brown animal, which he took to bo a weaeel, and which hunted the.foosteps of the hare with the utmost precision. Mr. Warner wishing to know if so dimin utive an animal could cope successfully with the speed of the hare, retreated to a bush near by, where he was an attentive observer of the hunt for nearly two hours, during which time he is ccrtain he saw both thesjiare and the weasel at least forty times. They were frequently out of sight for several minutes, but the hare, still urn willing to leave the place where it was found, came round again), and with the little enemy sometimes elope at its heels. Toward the epd of the remarkable chase, which became uncominonly|intercBting, the hare took advantage of the thickest covert that the place afforded, and; made use of all her cunning to escape, but without effect; until at length wearied out by the perse verance of her pursuer, it was heard to cry for some time. At last, the cries coming from onepoint, he concluded it bad become the victim of the chase, ajnd went to the spot, whore her found the hare quite dead, and the weazel so intently fast on its neck as not to" observe his approach, and .which became a victim to his care. Necessity of hiximclsE.—The bene -11 ts 6f exercise to those whose occupation does not lead them to .make any physical exertion, cannot be too highly estimated.

We question whether, in the history of ‘ hairbreadth’ escapes, a. parallel to the fol lowing can easily be found. The story was told us by an old and valued friend, now residing in the country near this city, out whose early days were spent near the tragic adventure here recorded. . We give the story as related to us, in the words of the hero ? ‘ It Was about the year 1505 that I set tled in near the fall of the Ken awa. The country at that time waa an unbroken, wilderness. But few settlements had been then made by the whites, and they were so far apart as to render vain all hopes of assistance in case of aiTattack from hostile Indians —numbers of whom still infested the neighborhood. ‘ I lived there alone with my wi|e for several months unmolested, and by dint of perseverance, being then young and hardy, had succeeded in making quite a large clearing in the forest, which I bad planted with corn, and which promised an abundant yield. ‘One morning after we had despatched our humble meal, and I had just prepared to venture forth upon'my regular routine of labor my attention was arrested by the tinkling of a cowbell in the corn-field-. ‘ There,’ said my wife, ‘ the cow is 1b the corn-field.’ ‘ But the ear of the back-woodsman be come?. by education, very acute, especial ly so from the fact that his safety often depends upon the nic4 cultivation of that sense. I was not so easily deceived. I listened —the sound was repeated. ‘ That, said I, in the reply to the remark of my wife, ‘ was not the tinkle of a bell upon the neck of a cow. It is a decoy from some Indian who desires to draw me intq ambush.’ ' . . ! ‘ Believing this to be the case, I took; down-my old musket, (I had no rifle,) andj seeing that it was properly loaded, I stole! cautiously around the field towards the point from which the sound seemed tci proceed. As I had suspected, there in al cluster of bushes, crouched an Indian! waiting for me to appear in answer to his( decoy-bell, that he might send the fatal bullet to my heart. I approached,, with-' out discovering myself to him, until with in shooting distance, then raised my piece and fired.
