PINEQIOyE, In the University of Upsala, in Sweden. lived a young student-,a lonely youth, with ; a great love for studies, but 'without means for pursuing them. He was poor and with out connections. Still he studied, living in great poverty, but keeping a cheerful heart, and trying not to look at the future, which looked so grimly at him. ~ His good humor and good qualities made him beloved by h 4 young comrades. Once he-was standing with some of them in the great square of Upsala, passing away an hour of leisure, when the attention of the young men became arrested by a very young and elegant lady, who, at" the side of an elderly one, walked slowly, over the place. It was the daughter of the Governor of Upland, living in the city, and, the lady with her was , her governess. She . was generally known for her beauty; and for her goOdness of character; and was icioked .upon with great admiration by the students. As the young men now stood silently gazin g at her, as she passed on like a graceful vision; one of thetri exclaimed: it would be worth something to have a kiss from such a mouth I" The poor young student, the hero of our story, who was looking intently on that pure-and angelic face, exclaimed, as if by inspiration , "Well, I think I could have it. , "What !" cried his friends in a chorus, "are you crazy ? Do you know her?" etc. , "Not at all," he answered ; "but I think she , would kiss me, just now, if I asked her."- 7 . "What ! in this place, before all our eyes?" "In this place, before your eyes?" "Freely?" "Freely." if she will give von a kiss in that manner, I will giveyou a ihou sand dollars !" exclaimed one of the party. "And I!". "And r!"- cried three or four others, for it so happened that several rich young men were in the group. and gets ran high on so - improbable an event, and the challenge was,nsade, and received in less time than we take to relate it. Our hero—my authority tells not whether he was handsome or have my pecu liar reasons • for believinohat he was rather plain, but singularly good-looking at the sante time—our hero immediately walked off to meet the young lady. Re bowed to her, and said, "My lady (mm froleen,) my fortune is in' your hand. She looked at him in aston iihment, but arrested her- steps. He pro ceeded_to state his name and condition, his aspirations, and related simply and truly what had just passed between him and his com panions, The young lady listened attentive ly, and when he had ceased to speak. she said, blushing, but with great sweetness, "If by -so little a thmg so much good can be effected, it would be foolish in me to refuse your request"—and • she kissed the young man publicly in the open square. Next day the young student was sent for by the Governor: Re wanted to see the man -who had dared to ask a kiss of his daughter in that way r and whom she had consented to kiss so. He received him with a severe and scrutinizing brow, but, after an hour's con versation, was so pleased with him that he offered him to .dine \at his table during his studies in "Upsala. • Our young friend now pursued his studies in a manner which soon made him regarded is themOst promising scholar at the Univer sity. Three years were not passed after the day of the first kiss, when _the, young man was. allowed to give second 'one to the lovely -daulitttier of the Governor,' as to his intended bnde.

The late Lord MOUNT EDGCONIIS of Eng land, was born after the apparent death, and 'actual burial of his mother.. The circum stances were as follows : The Countess When near her confinement was taken suddenly ill, and after lingering some days, apparently died; she had a presentiment that she would die; and had given directions that' in such an event', she should be buried, in her bridal suit, and with all her jewelery as she generally • ore it. Tliiiitectune -known.ro,some'per sons about' th 3 neighborhood, and amongst 'others to the Sexton of the Church, which stood in the beautiful Park surrounding the faihily mansion, about halt a mile distant.—', The day of the funeral was very dark-, wet, and stormy—and the services at the Church ' previous to depositing the body: in the vault Under the Church, were not over till dark.— The funeral procession returned to the Hall, and some of the party spent the evening there : amongst others' the Curate who re mained till about 10 o'clock, when he set off across the Park to his own house, passing near the Church, but before he reached it, blunderm along in the dark, he ran against al man, who proved to be the Sexton : and on his asking him some questions, as :o where he had been, and how he come to be out so late on such a night,'aud finding him in such a tremor and fright that he was un abte to answer him : he determined to take him back to the hall, where he was closely questioned as to his motive for being out in such'a situation, and he nt last confessed that 1 he had been in the Church and in the. vault for the purpose of robbing the body of the Countess, and that she was alive—he had seen her open her eyes, and had heard her heave a long sigh. Immediately on hearing f this, afterlocking up. the prisoner, there was a hurried rush to the Church, the ffimily Physician, the, Curates, nurses and servants, with a closed carriage flew - to the Church, they entered the vault, found the coffins open and the Countess alive, though miserable and bleeding freely from the excision of a part of thelittle finger of the left hand. The Conn- I tess was immediately wrapped up in blankets, placed in the carriage. and driven to the hall, when on being placed in bed, it was found necessary that she should undergo an operation to save the litd of the child with which she was pregnant. That child was the late EARL MOUNT EDGcomse.. The moth er died under the operation. On an exam ination'Of the prisoner, he confessed that the knowledge of the fact that the Countess was burped with all her jewelry tempted him to. commit the hoirible crime of robbing, the dead. He opened the vault of which he had the key—unscrewed the outer coffin, and the cedar shell, and then ripped open -the leaden coffin. He took first the Pearl Neck lace, the Diamond Ear-riugs, and the rings off the fingers, except one: On holding his lantern up to the face, as he said, to take a last look at it, he saw that he had left a very brilliant diamond ring on thelittle finger of the left hand, and on attempting to draw it off, found that the finger had swelled, and he could not succeed without cutting it off : this he did, and immediately the Countess opened her eyes-and heaved a long sigh,when the moster fled and was met as before men tioned by the Curate. All theseeiircumstan ces are recorded on tablets in the Church at Mount Edgeomhe. The Sexton was sent out of the country, without any punishment C VRIOCS FACT. A young' man in the township of Warsaw, Genessee county, New York, was engaged in cutting wood ; and in felling a tree it became entangled in the branches of other trees.— While endeavoring to disentangle the trep and bring it to the ground, it 'suddenly fell and splitting at tb&butt, he was caught by the foot, and thus suspended with his head downward. In this condition he cried for help,until his voice was gone and his strength welt nigh exhausted. His axe had fallen, and he could barely touch the end of the helve with his finger. He labored to reach it, but it was all to vain. Could he but get that, he could extricate himself. But alas ! it was beyond his reach. What was he to do ?. -le had cried for help until he could no longer speak. He was in - the 'woods, three quarters of a mile from any human being. The weather was extrt mely cold, and he was hanging with his head down ward, suffering extreme pain, not only in the foot which was caught in the cleft of the tree, but also in thehead, caused by. His un natural position and the great exertion he had put forth to make himself heard. Death now seemed inevitable, unless he could be immediately extricated. There was no al iernatire. Summoning all his courage,there fore, he came to the, determination to make the attempt to cut off his leg ; and should he succeed in doing this, there was but a famt hope that he would thereby save his life, for there was no, surgeon at hand to take up the arteries—no kiniftiend near to bind up the mangled limb. It seemed more than proba ble, therefore, that he would bleed to death. But what will a man not do to save his life ? He had in his pocket an old dull knife. With this he cut off the legs of his boot and stock ing, and then unjointed his own ankle. This being done, he crawled to his dinner basket, and binding up the stump with a nap kin Which had covered his dinner, he started upon bands and knees through the.snow for home. When he arrived within a few rods of his house he was discovered by some friends, whO hastened to his relief His strength was now exhausted. Help had come, and he fainted. He was borne to the house and resuscitated. Note come.t he curl ew/ads ; and I will here say that the gen tleman who related the facts to me was pre sent, and went for the surgeon. " Go," said the wounded man, " go immediately to the woo and cut out my foot, fur it is suffer ing most excruciating pain.", They did so, and brought the foot to the house. He then said.. it was cold, and wished it put into, warm water. This request was also granted. lewas not in the room in which the unfortu nate man lay, yet as soon as the Moot touch ed the water he cried out, saying, "It burns me; the water is' too hot.!' Upon putting the hand into the water it was found even so. The water was then made, cooler, and he was satisfied.

The Arabs, 'however, as has Viten pretty clearly established, obtained them from, India. about the year 900. They appeared in England . 4bout the year 1250, and were at-first employed in astronomical, geometrical and abstruse Mathematical works • t only. Their use was apparently little vela. •L ed till after the discovery of "printing, when it was soon found that a stripling at school, in a country village, could, by the help of these figures, in a few Minute's, 'work a sum that the most eminent Mathematician of the weld) century could not have reckoned in a Thole day . with the Raman numerals then in use. The earliest occurrence of the press ent vulgar' figures upon a monument is said to ,be 1454. lu common accounts, they were not generally used until about the year • 1600. The Boston Times Says that a man eats up a pound of sugar, *and the pleasure he has enjoyed is ended : but the information he gets from a newspaper is treasured up lit the mind, to he enjoyed anew, and to be used whenever occasOu or inclination calls for it. A newspap6r is not the wisdom of One man, or two men it is the wisdom of the age, and the pas(ages too. A family without a newspaper is alivaysihalf an age behind the times in general information,— besides, they never think much, or find much to talk about. And theh there are little ones growing up in ignorance, without aurtaste for reading. Besides all these evils, there's the wife, who, When her work is done, has to sit down with her hands . in her lap and nothing to amuse her: or divert her mind. front the trials and cares of the domestic l'eircle.
