Through' the street he goes. straggling to raise a shout, but un- Aitile to give vent to any sound above a wheeze, With what may be 'called his nightmare voice. His throat seems to be lined with a worsted stocking. There is evidently something out of order in his' vo cal hurdy-gurdy; His windpipe appears as if it wanted oiling. Even now we fancy we can hear him in the -tones of a knife-grinding machine, gra ting forth his well•kpown cry—"'Ere you 'as 'em, 'ere; one hundred and fifty new poplar hairs fora hap-ny.

AND Weekly by ,Benjamin Bannan, Pottsville ) Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania- , • • SATURDAY MORNING. DECEMBER- 25 841. Story of 'Canova. There was in Romeo young soldier of the Pope's guard. about twenty years of age, who entertained on ardent passidn!for painting and drawing. Thu walls of the Monte Cavallo and Vatican, were co vered • with. figures and groups drawn in chalk. These sketches displayed extraordinary talent, and the costumes were singularly correct. One day Canova happened to pass by while the young soldier was occupied in sketching on one of, the walls. Struck w jib surprise and ',admiration, the Roman Phidias stopped and quesitmed him, Canova was fond of encouraging and patroning'ta lent wherever hn discovered it. The' soldier said he had so strong a taste foi drawing and painting that he could not refrain, at his leisure moments, from 'amusing himself by chalking on the walls, de , signs which _he modestly obierved be knew to be ' very faulty. 0 How I should like to he 'taught, " he exclaimed with.transport, 0 but I am too poor to pay any one for giving me lessons! %Veil," said Canova, tt come to me; and I will tench ) ou for nothing, I will even settle ors yoU a pension of fifteen piasters per month, to enable 7.bu to quit your regiment—l iitn Canova the sculptor. The young man thought he had awakened from a dream. Ile stood in the presence of the great man; whose generosity overwhelmed him even more than his hlilliant reputation.—All he could d') was to 01 on his knees and return thanks, us an Italian thanks God or his patron saint. Nett day the young enthusiast was received among the pipils of Canova. But Canova had only lookeiiat the brilliant side of the adventure. A month had not elapsed before the Young soldier became pale ant! thin. He sighed at the recollection of the time when.he'could wan der along by moonlight, and trace on the base of the obelisk di Trinita di Nonli the profile of'some pretty Roman girl. He was then unfettered by aca demic rules, and his pencil was Lever checked by the words— , Rub that out—it is bad." He wished to learn, but ennui berlme more powerful than all the arguments either of hitryelf or his master. One morning he entereirtianova's,study, kissed his hand, thanked him fervently for all the kindness he had showed him, hut candidly avowed that he could not submit to the restraint to which the other pupils were subjected. He said he was like a plant whose stem was ton old to bend, on which the art of cultivation could produce no improvement,'"and must therefore be left to its wild and natural growth. He returned to his regiment, and resumed his tin- Aught sketches amidst the ruins of the eternal city. S\runr. —One of the great defects of self-train ing at the present day is, that there is much more reading than study. Both of there are indispensa ble in their proper relations, but either of them can take place of the other. Reading is necessary to furnish us with the facts of the present and former ages ; it gives us the materials of thought ; it directs our minds, without much effort on our . part, into new and delightful channels, and thus perfects our taste and forms our style; and it affords, at a cheap rite, a high and mental liixury. But reading is not study. A man might read a world of books, and good books too, and yet not•possess the shadow of a claim to scholarship. A trained mind, a thorough ly educated mind, is the product only of study. Every person should devote some portion of his time to the acquisition of a dr finite branch of kri:Nwl edge, anti he should set abort it with a full purpose to master the subject; and he would thus superin duce thoso habits of mental discipline and-self-con trol—that facility in consecutive inquiries, which Would prepare him to grasp, and analyse, awl com prehend other subjects. This is a business that every man must do for himself. No school or co!- Veg.' , can perform it for him, no learned professor or Oldie lecturer can point out any royal road to these attainments. But I most add, that there iS s n uch more light reading at the present day than solid. ' We live in an age of book-m ,king, and it would be butcompion praise to say that the productions :Of the age are read,—they are literally devoured. But nany of these productions are a of light andtrivi al character, and successive ones are becoming more so. The popular novels of the Jay, for example, began with the • Great unknown," and they are likely to end, with the writings of every little well known "on both sides of the Atlantic. For these effusions, and those of certain- modern bards who have whipped the materials of poetry into troth and foam, the staiidard .English classics in prose and verse must be laid aside ; and these mere comets— you may add blazing, if you please, for they afford not only scintillattims, but flames of genius now and then—are to be intellectual polar stars to direct on the ocean of life the bark that carries the rising generation. The whole class of writings -which constitute what may be called the , t Pickwick " li terature, while it contains fine touches in that kind of description in which it abounds, is of very doubt ful intellectual tendency. It is a little like dining on pepper and salt, and terminating the Yeast with o whip-syllabub for a desort.—Banana's Lecture, ANECDOTE.—In re , :eat !Nur of the Paris cor respondent of the National Intelligencer, we find the follong interesting anecdote In reading over, lately, Marliani's very instructive Political History of Spain, my attention was arrested by this anecdote, which you may be able to verify. In 1815, when the Spanish patriots, Arguelles, Marti- - nez, Calatrave, and ram —forty in all—were Bent to Malaga on their way to the gallica in Africa, in pursuance of the horrible sentence or Ferdinand VII, an American commodore, then at Malaga with his squadron, offered, through the American consul, to capture the ship on board which they were to sail, and carry them to Gibraltar, England or the United States, he, the' commodore, « taking the responsibi- The noble victims of the despot thought it best, after consultation, to decline the offer, tort re mained exceedingly grateful foi the commodore's generosity and spirit." Tatrrit..—The first consideration in. selecting a companion for lifdiliould be good sewer, and good disposition.

TiICTINT D.MC unEn.--The New'Orleans papers of the 4th contain the following account of a revolt of Slaves at Sea: it is said that the 'particulars are confirmed by the commander of the vessel. The brig Creole, Capt. Enson, from Richmond to New Or leans, with tobacco, 135 Slaves and several passen gers, was seized on the 7th ult by Slaves, who kill ed and wounded several of the whites in the con test. It appears that at obout 9i P. M. after the passengers and crew had retired, the Slaves mutinied and murdered a passenger named Hewell, owner of part of the Negroes: They wounded the captain and one of the hands dangerously, the chief mate and another of the hands severely. But little de fence could be made, as the -victim were totally un prepared for an attack and had but one musket on board, while the slaves wore armed with pistols, knives and bludgeons made by cutting up handspikes. There is reason to believe that the whole plot was ar ranged before:they left Richmond: Having, obtained possession of the vessel, they broke open trunks and ransacked the whole cargo. They spared the lives of the mate, passengers and a part of the crew, on condition they should be token immediately to Abaco, an English island. Forced, to obey &screw set sail and arrived at Nassau, N.-P. on' the 9th ult. On landing, a*guard was placed on board the yes• sel by the Governor of" New Providence, at the re quest of the , English Council, to prevent the slaves from going Marais: and upon. an investigation, nineteen slaves were imlentlied as having participa ted in:the murder. These were placed in confine ment until further orders, the Governor refining to send them toAmerico. The remainder were set free Trusting° is based on energy of character.* A strong..mind ahmila .hopes, and has always cause to hope,i.becauaeit knows the mutability of human affairs, arra how slight a circumstance may thangti the whole' bourse of events.

SNAKE AND FISII STORX.—Snake stories aro proverbially large, and so are fish stories; but the following, being a compound of the two, does not rest under the same imputation. it was told to uff as truth : " A man, fishing in one of the ponds in a neigh. boring-county, this past summer, waded out some distance into the pond in order to throw his hook farther into the water. He noticed here and there a water snake about him, but, as they were corm won in the - pond, he thought nothing of it. As he hr oked fish alter fish, however, and hung them up on a strign over his shoulder, be noticed that the snakes about him increased in number and boldness, - arid commenced swimming about him in rather close proximity to his legs. They seemed to be e 3 Meg the fish at his back with very eager looks. At length they beganlo rub against his legs, arid the number in sight was so great that he began to feel, uneasy. ' One attempted to climb his legs, which familiarly he was by no means disposed to submit to. lie pulled the snake off, threw him to a distance, and began to - make fgr the shore. In stantly snakes appeared from every tuft of weeds, chimp of Irlliea, end pile of brush about hint. They swam about him by scores, and commenced climb ing his legs and winding around, his .body. The ° poor man.was in.agony; as fast as he pulled one snake off another wound about him, and their efforts were so great that he could scarcely make any way tow ard the shore. At length, however, he took out his knife, and began cutting the sririkes in pieces as - they climbed his legs and body;•and after, in this manner, severing a dozen or so of the reptiles, he reached the shore. It was a terrible adventure, but perhaps the Man was well paid for it, for he had a good story to tell for the rest of his life. " Water snakes live much upon the carcasses of dead fish, and these were probably attracted to the spot by the smell of the tish at the man's back,and all their efforts were to reach the fish,, and not to injure the man. Vety likely the poor creatures thought he was a stamp. Water-snakes tire harm less reptiles.—Greenfield (Mass.)
