TUE PROFESSOR'S STRATAGEM BY Jrnfas CLARK, _Herr Karl von Krummelhauset—the Pro fessor, be wait called—was an eccentric man or ecience. With the exception of a few students to whom he gave private lessons, he received no visitor', and had no as- wastes. His daughter Mary, it was universally agreed, was an angel, and a very arch one at that. 11111 not going to tell you bow pretty she was ; but just do your best to fancy the utmost perfectiokol incipient wo manhood, and if you are blessed with a fair share of the poetic element, you may reach some, faint conception of the truth. Among the Professor's pupils were my friend Max Oppenheim and myself—at least, I was Max's friend! I believe he was no body's though I then thought differently.— I fell dead in love with Mary, and made Max my confident, and finally "spoke" to her father. The Professor heard my proposal with a serious look. "Have you the meant ;Iv : support a wife ?" he Inquired. My resources, I was obliged to confess, ' were mainly prospective and wholly con tingent. "I am already old," he continued, "and the small annuity which barely suffices, with such additions as I ran able to make to it, for present needs, will end with my life. My daughter therefore, will inherit no for tune, which renders it all the more impor tant that her future shou'Al be assured.— However, I will defer my decision. Mary is yet too young to marry. But if at the end of two years, you shall be in a position to warrant a renewal of your offer, and shall not have changed your sand, I will give you an answer ; till then, let the subject be dismissed." I felt the force of the Professor's reason ing and saw it would be useless to say more. 'My resolution was taken. I bade fare well to my friend. whose languid "God Speed" had little of fervor in It, compared with the worthy Professor's parting bene diction, or with darling Mary's simple "good-by," spoken smilingly through her tears, and to which I could only answer by a'silent pressure of her tiny white hand. At the end of two years—two years of toil and adventure in the wild and newly discovered gold regions of Australia—l re turned rich,'and Wore than rich enough to justify me in demanding the Professor's tardy answer. Max Oppenheim was the first acquaint ance I met. It may be imagined with what eagerness I hastened to tell him of the hap py change in my fortunes. He seemed less apathetic than usual. Indeed the news seemedt &quite interest him, "But your ttesumee—rin what shape have you brought it nome 7" he asked. "In good bank-notes," I answered, giving my breast pocket islap. "I have them here," (IA very careless way of carrying so much money," he remarked. "I knOw it," I said ; "but I found it dif ficult to buy exchange at the little seaport where I landed,and iso, for convenience sake, turned my gold into notes. However, I will deposit the' whole to-morrow, and there'll tie but little risk till then." Max spent the evening with me at my lodging& I went to bed soon atter he left, placing the wallet containing my money under the pillow. It was brOad daylight when I awoke. The door of my room stood partially ajar. !was certain I had dosed and locked It be tore retiring. IttLy first thought was of my money. Heavens! it was gone I It was bat too evident I had been .robbed during my deep. A skeleton key 'still retnalnallo the lock, but no other trace of the pricnthal Wall left. lat Once palled on the Professor.. 01 man received tee cordially: He listened to my story viith *grate face, and was yiripariici;tlar In his imp:6.W touch the. can padons I find spent the previous evening n!ith, and who had" knbWledge of mybeing i n p o ssession of a sum so col- . . .'•lt is; hard awe," he added.

In , answer to my look of inquiry, he pro- ceeded : "This gentleman," with a gesture to ward my friend, "has just honored me with an important proposal—no less indeed, than RD offer for my daughter's hand. Ning a man of unquestioned rank and fortune, his proposal demands, at least, serious con • sideration." "And is it you, wretch !" I exclaimed, casting a furious look at Max, "that have dared to nike advantage of my misfortune to supplant me in that wherein you had my confidence, and wherein I bad a right to count on your aid and sympathy ?" Hot words followed, ending in a chid lenge. "Come, gentlemen," said the old Pro foisor, "I have a proposition to make," and passed into an adjoining apartment. After a brie! absence he returned, bearing a salver, on which were a couple al 4tsSl b partially filled with some liquid. "There," he continued, 1 .sing the salver on a table, "ure two glass of wine. In one of them is a subtle ant viatiess poison. He who drinks it will exp4lience no pain, but will, within an hour's time, sink into a calm and peaceful slumber, from which there will be no waking. I would bestow my daughter on no man not ready to peril his life for her sake. Your readiness to do this I propose a more rational mode of test ing, than the senseless combat in which you are about to engage. Let .each drink the contents of one of these glasses. To the survivor, I pledge the gilt of my daughter's hand. All traces of the other's remains I have in ray laboratory the means of speed ply destroying, and the secret of his disap. pearance need never be known." "Heavens ! how weird the old man look. ed! Conk( it be that he was really insane or was there more in the popular surpersti tion with regard to him than was common ly accredited ? My mind shrank from the idea of suicide "Bat, after all," I neflected, "what differ ence is there in principle between staking my life on such a hazard, and the-more un equal one, it may be, of bodily coniffet?— There is at least as favorable a chance of rescuing from a villain's hands an innocent victim." My purpose was formed. "I accept the test!" I exclaimed Max hesitated. "Why not settle our difference in the usual mode ?" he expostulated. "Cowards may fight duels," I replied, "confiding in superior skill, or schooled by custom. To face death in a new and un expected -shape requires courage. If you have a spark of it, which I doubt, do not waver now. Take your choice," I said, advancing to the table, and poini log to the glasses. His ace was ghastly pale, but pride was stronger than fear. With an almost totter ing step he approached the table, and with a trembling band took up one of the glasses. I took the other. Simultaneously we rais ed them to our lips, and drained the con tents. The Professor at once conducted us to separate chambers; remarking, as he did so, that an hour would tell the tale. Lett to myself, I began closely to study my sensations. For a time , I was consci ous of nothing unusual. At length a feeling of drowningness began to steal over me. Still, it might be only fancy, or, more probably, the natural re•action alter a day of excitement. But no ; it was be coming too mai ked for that. Besides I could not shake it off. My eyelids grew preternaturally heavy. A gradual numb ness pervaded my members. I could not be mistaken. It was I who had drank from the poisoned cup Dragging myself with my remaining strength to a couch that stood near, I dropped upon it, and decently com posing my limbs, breathed a prayer to Heaven for forgivness, and, with Mary's name ou my lips, jell asleep ! The sun was shining brightly when a voice recalled me to consciousness. If I was dead, I had surely gone to Heaven, for there stood an .angel ! But a second look assured my bewildered senses. I wasn't dead, after all. It was darling little Mary, whose smiling face and musical tones were giving me sweet welcome. Goodness knows how many foolish things I would have said, or how many kisses of greeting I would have snatched, In spite of Mary's blushes, if the old Professor, who ought to have been busy among his retorts and crucibles, hadn't made his appearance just then. With an air of misery he led me to his study, where to my Inexpressible astonish ment, he handed me my lost wallet, its con. tents intact. "Pew men have the conrage," he said, lo face death with a great crime uncon- fessed and unrepented of. Before making my singular proposal last night, I had rea son to suspect that your supposed friend was not altogether innocent of your recent loss ; not that he had been actuated by mo tives of gain, but by a desire to blast your hopes in a quarter which I need not men Lion. The event has jcsoliied my suspici ons. Both the glassevcontained a poWer frd but harmless sigeping potion, and when Mu felt himself giving way to an unnatural drowsiness, believing the poison was at work, and that his doom was sealed, he summoned me to hear a confession, of which you have happily reaped the fruits. He has already taken his departure, and will never return." What the Professor's answer was to my proposal of two years' standing, and what came of it, I leave the reader to gness.—.N: Y.

It was well nigh impossible tbr him to say "amen" until he bad given• the five points oin Calvinism a rap.

Her memory was so good that she never forgot a name, and would addreis each of bet guests, though just introduced with twenty others, as if she had known them for years. She was a magnificent looking woman In the drawing-room. Her stately and Juno. like figure to NI red above the rest of the la dies. When she found a timid young girl, ahe would attend to her most assiduously, conduct her to the piano, and remain with her till she became more at her ease. At one of her receptions, a tall, dangling youth, fresh from the back-woods, made his appearance, and took his stand against a partition wall. He stood in that position like a figure for half an hour, and finally ventured to take :. cup of coffee, which it was then the custom to hand amor.d. Mrs. Madison's kten.eye had noticed his ember rassment, and she wished to relieve it. She walked up and addressed him. The poor youth, astounded, dropped the saucer on the floor, and unconsciously thrust the cup into his breeches pocket. "The crowd is so great"—remarked the gentle lady—"that no one can avoid being jostled. The servant will bring you another cup of coffee. Pray, how did you !eau your excellent mother? I had once the honor of knowing her, but I have not seen her for some years.' Thus she continued till the poor youth felt as if he were in the company of an old acquaint.. ance. He took care, secretly and soon, to dislodge the protuberance in bis pocket ETIQUETTE UNDER OLD HICKORY. According to Baillie Peyton, when Mc- Lane was Secretary of State, a new minis ter arrived from Lisbon, and a day wu ap pointed for him to be presented to the Pres ident. The hoar was set, and McLane ex pected the minister to call at the State De partment ; but the Portuguese had misun derstood Mr. McLane's French, and be pro ceeded alone to the White House. He rang the bell, and the door was opened by the Irish porter, Jimmy O'Neil. "Je aids venu voir Monsieur k President," said the minister. "What the deuce does he mean !" muttered Jimmy. "He says Pres ident, though, and I suppose be wants to see the General." "Oui, Out," said the Portuguese, bowing, Jimmy ushered him into the green room, where the General was smoking his corn-cob pipe with great com posure. The minister made his bow to the President, and addressed him in French, of which the General did not understand a word. "What does the fellow say, Jim my ?" said he. Dell knows, sir ; I reckon he's a forriner." "Try him is Irish, Jim my gave him a touch of the genuine MUesi- an, but the minister only shrugged his shoulders with the usual "Plait ill" • • "Ocit " exclaimed Jimmy, "he can't go the Irish, sir. He's French, to be sure I" "Send for the French cook, and let him try if he can find out what the gentleman wants." The cook was hurried from the kitchen, sleeves rolled up, apron on, and the carving•knife In his hand. The minis ter seeing this formidable apparition, and doubting bewaa in the presence of the Head of the Nation, feared some treachery, and made for the door, before which Jimmy planted himself to keep him In. When the cook, by the General's order, asked who be was, and what he wanted, and he gave • subdued answer the President discovered his character. At this juncture McLane came in, and the minister was presented in due form. It is said General Jackson al- wayis resented allusion to this incident. THE STRUGGLE AND THE VICTORY "Johnny," said a farmer to his little boy, "it is time for you to go the pasture and drive home the cattle. " Johnny was playing at ball, and the pas ture was a long way off; he was accustomed to obey, so off he started without a word, as fast as his legs would carry him. Being in a great hurry to get back to play he only let down the bars, and then hurried the cattle through, and one fine cow, in trying to crowd through, stumbled and broke her leg. C:=:=2l Johnny stood by the suffering creature, and thought to himself; "Now what shall I do ? That was the finest cow father had, and it will have to be killed, and it will be a great loss to father. What shall I tell him ?" "Tell him," whispered the tempter—the same tempter who putsthe wicked thoughts In all our hearts—"tell him you found the bars half down and- the creature lying there." "No, I can't say that," said Johnny, "for that would be a lie." "Tell him," whispered the tempter again, "that while you were driving the cows, that big boy of farmer Brown's threw stones and hurried the cow so that she fell." "No, no," said Johnny, I have never told a lie, and I won't begin now. I will tell my father the truth. It was all my fault. I was ins hurry, and I frightened the poor creature, and,4the fell and broke her leg." Bo having taken this right and brave re solve, Johnny ran home as though he wee afraid the tempter would catch him, and r.e went straight to his father and told him the whole truth. And what did his father do ? He laid his band on Johnny's head and said : "My son, my dear son, I would rather lose 'every cow that I own than my boy should tell an untruth." And Johnny, though very sorry. for the mischief he had done, was much happier than if hetad.toki a lie to screen himself, even if it had never been found out.

They have a long, black body, divided in the waist, but their phisikal importance lays at the terminus of their subburb, In the shape of a javelin. This javelin iz alwuz loaded, and stands reddy to unload at a minnit's warning, and enters a man az still az thought, az sprt az litening, and az full ov melancbolly az the toothacke.

There haint been a bug made yet in vain, nor one that want a good Job, there iz even lots ov humen men loafing 'around black smith shops, and cider mills, all over the country, that don't teem to be necessary for anything but to beg plug tobacco and swear, den steal Watermelluns,but yu let the cholera break oust, and then yu will nee the wisdom or having just such men laying around', they help to count. The hornet is an unsosiall ktise, he lz more haughty than be Is proud, he iz a thorough-bread bug, bat his breeding and refinement has made him like name other folks I imo ov, dissatisfied with himselfand everybody else ; too much good breeding acts this way surnames. Hornets are king lived—l ham state jis how long their lives are, but I low from in stlnkt and observaahun that any kritter, be he bug or be he devil, who lz mad awl the time and stings every good chance be kan git, generally outlives all his sabers. The only good way tew git at the exact fitting weight ov the hornet is tew tutch him, let him bit you once with his javelin and you will be willing to testify in court tha somebody run a one•tined pitchfork Into yer ; and as for grit, I will state for the In fonnashnn ov those who haven't had a chance tew lay in their virmin wisdom az freely az I hay, that one single hornet, who feels well, will brake up a large camp-meet- Twa Boy ro Sccomtn.—A few years ago, a large drug firm in this city advertis ed for a boy. Next day the store was thronged with applicants, among then, a queer-looking little fellow, accompanied by a woman, who proved to be his aunt, in lieu of faithless parents, by whom he had been abandoned. Looking at this little waif, the merchant in the store promptly s‘id : "Can't take him ; places all lull ; be sides he is to small." "I know he is small,' said the woman, "but he is willing and faithfuL" There was a twinkle in the boy's eyes, which made the merchant think again. A partner in the firm volunteered to remark that he "did not see what they wanted of such a boy—he wasn't bigger than a pint of cider." But after consultation the boy was set to work. A few days later a call was made on the boys in the store for some one to stay all night. The prompt response of the little fellow contrasted well with the others. In the middle of the night the merchant looked in to see if all was right in the store, and presently discovered his youthful protege busy scissoring labia "What are you doing r' said he, "I did not tell you to work nights ?" "I know you did not tell me so, but I thought I might as well be doing something." In tlit morning the cashier got orders to "doable that boys wages, for hei•• wilting." Only' a few weeks clasped before a show of wild beasts passed through the streets, and very naturally all bands in the store rushed to witness the spectacle. A thief sew his op portunity, and entered at the rear door to seise something, but la a twinkling Wand himself firmly clutched by the diminutive clerk aforesaid, and, alter a straggle, was captured. Not only was a robbery pre vented, but 'valuable articles taken troin other stores were recovered. 'When asked by the merchant why he staid behind to watch when all others quit their work, the reply was, "You told me never to leave the store when 'others were absent, and I . thought I'd stay." Orders were immediate-- ly given once more : "Double that boyk , wages; he is willing and faith/a Ta day that boy is getting a salary of $2,150% and next January will becoine a membercif the firm.

IVicetesunts, (with is in the State uv Mi— dst:pi), Oct. 12, 180.—One of the most affecttn Ittskhnits with ever come under my nods transpired at the Southern Cross Hotel, in thE city, yesterday. I hey wept ahem; . us , tears In my day, and hey seen rail sorts nv horrible deaths, but never one wick teched my heart as the untimely decease tar Col. Leonidas Slasher nv the interior, with took place yesterday. I regretted the kernel's death for meny reasons. I bed only made his'aequaintance Ave days (he hed bin in town that. time), and bed censekeutly only succeeded in bor rowing $lB nv him ; $3 at one 'line and ss' at two other times. He hed money. and wus flush with it ; and I bed confidently connoad on subsisten ou him for at least four weeks. Tro" his death settles wet I borrered nv him, but that's noconsulashen. Ez soon ez he got well acquainted with me he'd a never thought nv Wan 'me for It anyhow. In addisitun to this greet, wick Is purely personal to myself, the colonel was a chivalrous southerner of the old stool. He wuz n't in the confeclerit serail hlsself, but sick wus his devoshen to the coz that he forced into'the field all the poor whites in his visinity, and huntid alch es woodent go out uv the country with dorga. He was a tmo gentleman. He wore ruffled shirts, took the National Intelligencer, and drank his brandy and-water without water. The kernel knowd that the war wax over —that theBouth bed bin subjugated sad re constructed, but bedn't any idee nv the ehangis wish bed taken place. He bed lived on his plantashen out uv the reech or the world all this time. He !posed that re construction meant simply that et he shood he elected to Congris bdwood hey to go to Washington to set tested Iry Richmond, with be expected to do next year. The kernel and I mut in the or& nv the hotel, when his beaunin eye happenia to rest onto the register, it lighted On this name: "Wendell Phillips, Boston, Mass." The kernel staggered ez the he hed bin struck in the face. "Wendell Phillips! la Vizbtmg I Good Heavens ! where is he ?" "Capt. McVay, wich was settin by, pint ed to a tall, gaunt man, in a stove-pipe hat, wich wuz settin by_ the stove needle the Noo York Herald, and remarkt, "That must be him." The kernel gritted his teeth, and an ex pression nv intense pleasure rested onto his countenance. "Capon, git a rope. Major see of that lamp post Is-high enuff to string this Yankee up to, and, ginerak Bit some of the boys together Immejitly. 111 help hang one more Yankee afore I die, anyhow I" And the impetuous kernel made for the suppozed Phillips. He slaps him in the face, at wich the Yankee riz and floored the kernel, and at it they went, tooth and toenail—the mat small flte I Bier see.— They wuz finally dragged apart by the clerk Of the hotel and the bystanders—the two wuz arrested by a policeman handy by, and dragged off to a magistrate's °Ms, when upon a heerin Iry the case the kernel was fined $2O and costs. "Wet is this?" he asked. "Fine me for lickin a Yankee wich we waz about to hang ? Why, square, do you know who I am, and who he is?" "Bh ! fib !" said the kernel's friends, wich bed jest raft In. "Pay yer woodent do for us to hey yen let off for lick in a ablishnist. The niggers woodcut like it, and it wood kw ns their vote. Pay, and say nothin.". "Was!" replied the kernel, turnip pale. They said nothist, but paid the fine for him and hurried him away. The kernel went to his room in a most fearful state av mind, mutterin ez he walk ed, "Can't lick an abliahnist in Vizburg ?- - Fine me for tickle abllshidste ter please a set or d—d nig: • •A: Can't lick an ablhh nist—wat—." When be got L. Lis room he sat down and drawed a long 4igh. Buryin his face into his hands, he wept a half hottr, sad then fell faintin from his chair. I picked the old up an•l put him to bed, alter which I chafed his limbs with whisky and put a bottle fly it to to his lips and mine. He showed some signs us life, and in perhaps an hour rood utter words in a faint and fee ble way. "I--can't--hang—a ab—lishnist any more! Oh!" And the poor old man relapst. I strug gled with him for fifteen minits, when he again opened his eyes. This time he wuz calm, tho' be spoke with an evident effort. "Nasbyr sed he, in a hoarse whisper, "It's time I wuz gone. It's time that the old stock either died peacebly or committed snoicide. There ain't no more room for 1 rm. I never thot ten years ago that the time wood ever come when I cood'ent hang a nigger or a Ablishnist in Mississippi ; but it hez come and I'm a comberer En the ground, First, my niggers is set free ; next, they vote ; then I'm load for Hokin a Ablishnist, and finally I'm told that I pinata% hang one uv em. ' Good Lord ! wat is there left to live for! Here, take this rope, take theme pistols, and this bowie knife, and hang em up in remembrance uv me. I die sad and glad. Sad, to 'think things is ez they la—glad to go ez I can't better em." • At this pint I fed him a little whisky out ay a spoon. "Hold my hand eteddy," sed he, "while I write a note givin yoo these keepsakes, that no one may question your rite to em. He wrote this time on a leaf nv his mem orandum book and makin a moahan ez tho he wuz tyen a knot under some one's ear, and died. His last words wret, "Spades is trumps ; black's the winnin soot." I wept .a tear of two and composed his limbs. "Here," thot I, "is a victim rev anstycism. Here is one Who Is an orna ment to his sex, cut down in his old age by a charge uv custom- which he coodent en door.' Thank Beaten, I am terong emit! to endoor it." . And Navin arranged the body decently I altered his will in vrich he bequeathed me hie rope, pistol and knife, so ez to include his trunk and contents, and taken his pokit book out rev his breeches I busted into a wary= In grief in which I wuz found when the Inmates in the house arrived.
