THE DOCTOR'S STORY. THE CURIOUS WIDOW. During my first course of .lectures I became almii - Fder nt th - O of — aTivi - dow bilry,.tbd happy mother of sifirace and a half daughters; the quartette possessing so much of the di titiguishinrcharaeteristics of the ""softer sex, that I often caught myaolf Wondering in what nook or corner of their, diminutive skulls they kept the rest of the faculties. Occupying the same room that I did, were • wo other students, from the. Berne Eeation of -tho country as myself, and possessing pretty nitiell'the same taste and peculiarities. One thing certain we agreed in, and that was mile 'testntion of.all curiosity-stricken wothen ; for . never were pOor-devils worse bothered by re searches than we were. Not a pocket of any garment left in our rooms could remain unex amined, tier a letter remain On our tahlo: un- . reati, nor scarcely a word of convernation-pnsa . ,without a soft;subdued breathing at the key", hole telling,Us we were haves-dropped. .Mat tors came at length to stich a pass, and so thorough became the annoyance, that nothing but the,' iliffieulty of . obtaining aultable neciiin modatiops elsewhere, prevented us from bid ding a tondqr adiou to the widow, and promis ing to pay her our board . la soon cis .our tone° arriied. As the evil had to 'be endured for. awhile, at long, invented and arranged a plan for breaking her .of ,her insatiable euriesit t y' i and making her, what she was hi other re spects, p: good landlady. • •Tho boarding hause:,3ray a large two-stOrY frame, with a flight of steps on one• sib, ox-, tendimi&in the:street to the' second story, sci as to giyo adMittanoe to, the boarders without the ,IT:lessity of opening the, front door or turbing the family, when they .- came in late at I night. It was very colt Weather, and our mess , were busily engaged: eveyy _night -a late hour at the dissecting looms, and it; during, this necessary absence that' the widow made ,her researches and investigations. The slibiget that sie were engaged upon Was , One . of -the most hideous specimons,of buruatsit, that ,over horrified the eight,- ;The-wretch-had - saved his life from the hangman by dying the eve before the day of execution, and We; by some process or other, became the possessors of his body.— Ire was so hideous that nothing but my devo tion to anatomy, and time fineness of, the sub ject, could reconcile me to the - dissCction ; and even after working a week upon him, I never oaught,a, , glimpse of his countenance but what' I had the - nightmare in consequence. Ile was one of the peculisr class called - AlbinOes, or white negroes. Every feature was deforMed or unnatural. It was with bins, or rather his face, that we .determined to cure our landlady of her prying propensities. . It *as the work of a few minutes to slice the face from the skull, and arrange it so, that . from auy_Toint of view it wold look korrilge. Having procured a yard Of oil-cloth, we sewed it to the'foce, and then rolled it easefully up; tying this securely, we next enveloped it in n number of wrappers, fastening each separate-. ly, so thither curiosity would ,be excited, to the utmost-degree before the pang° could be completely opened. At the. usual hour we returned home, carrying our extra face alinig; not, however, without many a shudder. „ Upon entering our room, we taw that the Spoiler had been there, although she had en deavored to leavO things as near the condition she found them in, ns possible'. With.a hearty malediction upon all milieu women, ive ate our cold snack, which the kind hearted widow—for, despite of her being a widow, she was really kind-hearted—always had awaiting our return, and retired to Trost, deterfitined that. the morrow's night should bring all flags even. . I endeavored to sleep, but that the hideous face, which we had locked securely in it trunk, kept staring at me through its many envelopes —and when the cold winter's sun shone in at the casement, it found me still awake. Ner .vous arid irritated, I descended to . breakfast ; and nothing but he contemplation of my com ing revenge. prevented mo from treating the widow with positive impoliteness, Biess her not-despairing-of-marrying-again spirit! who could keep angry with he •? Such a sweet smile of ineffable goodness and spiritual inno cence rested on her countenance, that I almost relented of my purpose; .but my love-'letters read, my duns Made' etident, my poetry criti cised by eyes to which Love would not rend its blindness to. make Perfect ; and then--zsho was \t widow MS , heart, at this. last reflection, becanio im mediately barred to the softening influences of. forgiveness, and I determined inall hostility to fate her. :1, • . The lectures that clay, ns far (as we were concerned, fell upon listlesS ears,•for we were thinking too much of what the night was. to .bring forth. to pay rov‘A I.ttention_to:_tllcan.4, The day nt last came to a close. It had been snowing all the evening, and ht supper we complained bitterly how-disagreeable it would be walking to the college, and working that night, and wished that wo were not dissecting, so that we might stay at home and answer the lettere we Ithd received from home that day.-- " Business could not be neglected for- the weather," was our conclusion expressed-to the widow; so after supper wo donned our dissect ing clothes, and putting the package for the widow in a coat pocket, hung it up in a prom inent place, so that it could be found readily. Telling the family that we would not be ,bacic until late, end making ns much noise as possi -ble with-our-feet i -so as-to assure her-we were going, we left the house as if for the college. We went no further, however, than to tile nearest coffee-house, where by the time we had smoked a segar, wojudgedsutltoient time had elapsed for the widow- to connnence re: Searches. - Returning to the boarding house, wo pilled off our boots, and noiselessly ascended the out side steps, the door at the head of which . wg had left open: There I- kits• a short passage leading from it to the door of our room, which we had left closed, but now perceived to be a jar. • Silently as the doctor speaking of the patients ho has lost, we approached it, and on peeping in, to our gratification we found eve ry thing working as wo Lad desired, Zvi_ dew had got the package out, and was oceupi-. od in viewing it attentively from all sides, stu dying.the character of the knots of 'the liga tures embirioing it, so she could restore every thing to its original condition; when het curl - ositrwas-satisfied as - to its -- contents, - ' - lfieving" impressed its shape and the peculiarity of tie well upon her mind, she proceeded to take- off the first cover, which was soon done, when a similar envelop mother eye; this.after under going the same scrutiny was'removed, when yet anothermet her gaze; and still the kernel was encroached ; some six or eight were taken otf,cand at length , she came-to the laPt,—the pit skin. Poor old lady I she has long been whir() the curiosity of life never penetrates; and tlie grandest and most awful mystery of our no l i . tore is revealed; yet I sec her noiv, as the last envelop of the package was reached, and: hen a gleam .of satisfaction shot like nn orysipela tious blush over hernnkious &co, as 'she saw thc , consuthmation of her long 'expecianny ap prop hang.

In rushed the crowd--m full charge for the room impelled by the ramrod of curiosity; lintere they hail time to discover the cause of the commotion or make a demonstration, the widow ceased her laughter, and putting on an expression 'of the most supremo contempt, cooly remarked—" excuse M6,-gentlemen, if I, have caused you any inciinvenience by my un usual conduct.

FROM TIIE GER3IAN OFJOTIANN R.Ef3IER LEA nxtxo is quiteunnecessnry in the trade you intend to follow.;. but if you wish to read a few books,,Svoid -all so-called classic writers, and read the jest-books of MAncor,rn, CLAUS NARR,. and EULENSPIEGEL. These will teach yott the whole art of poetry in a fortnight, if you ate not a hopeless dunce. , I will give you a fe - iv useful receipts from which you - may concoct such thingsrds congratulatory verses for weddings and other occasionswitbout num her, But indeed - "a - little oxercihe in biting your pen, , and gazing up at the coiling, will . generally produce all the ideas required in suclr occasional poems. To attain facility, however, you must keep your wits in practice by continually making 'verses on all kinds of trivial subjects; for instance, a sonnet "on Lisette's' now .straw bonnet,?' or a canzonet "on Durandula's bodice." "Cordclia's night cap" may suggest materials enough to fill' a long ode: Acquire the art of producing rhymes for the motet uncouth words, and if you aro •iiitged tu use - nonsense sefffetimes, say }lir& you 'did it Po ,pitruce a certain droll effect. However insignificant your verses may be, never publish them without some-high-sound ing title; such as "Parnassian Bridal-Torches." Never mind about tbe sense of it, if it is Only porepous enough, Though the subject of your poem may be trivial, take care to wrik a grand intrqduotion, invoking Apollo and all the nine Muses to come to your assistance in a great work. This style of building a grand entrance toton little house is very good4n poetry. When you make a beginning never care about the . end: they will match together in. some way no doubt. Expletives are too much despised in - peso tits Fill you& verses with them, as - they - aremery cheap. 'Employ also as many allusions to pagan mythology as you can find; for thus you may fill your 'pages Vith numer ous explanatory notes about ancient deities, Mars, Vulcan, and Venus, which 'need not be very correct, as few readers trouble themselves about such matters. Use two or three words instead of ono whenever you can; for instance, style nature "our - productive mother," and call your dog "the barking quadruped." Nev er blot out what you have written, for if you do not esteem 'highly your Own productions, who will? ,Believe all that your friends and admirers say,-and praise all 'who praise you. If a friend declares that pin are "the Opitz of the age," immediately return tho- compli ment by:Styling him "the Flemming of his• - Hines." When you aro loarid 'guilty of bad spelling, you must assert boldly that you did it on principle,. and that you - fold Some now and peculiar views on orthography. This may appear ridiculous toif inexperienced author, but I RSSRTo_you tlAt hpiTovpr foolialLyom . productions may be,' you will find admirers and hniators so long as you maintain :a hardy" self-confidence.

Signor Blitz is well known throughout this country as the prince of mtigicians and ventriloquists,who can /locus posits nny thifig into other places in the -most• inexplicable and mysterioud manner. while his audience are wrapt in astenishinent at his astounding (eats. He can also throw his voice into any spot within hearing distance, and can imitate the ladguago of animals \ themselves. He is noted for his tact and self possession, and is usually equal to any emergency hi which he finds himself placed. 4Ve - never knewthetSignor sat back' arid completely 'flabbergasted' but once,and then it happened in a country town in Connecti• cut on this wise. The Signor, contrary to his,usual custom, had consented to stop at this town on his route through New England by the aseutance of.a ceffain person that it would pay - him, well for the 'trouble, as a. musements were 'scarce, and the 'free list' small. He accordingly gave a short series of performances inn large hall in the princi pal tavern in the place, which was a large old fashioned structure. The hall was crow ded to its fullest on each of the evenings, end everything worked to admiration, until the lastevenins,-when a mischevious board: erconceived the idea of varying the sMter , tainment slightly. One of the most popular things in the whole entertainment was the ventriloquism, when the Signor held an animated converse tion with 'Peter,' in the chimney, which Was situated on one side of the ball, near the middle. The aforesaid boarder was aware that the 'smoke house' in which his daily slice cif bacon was cured, was situated over the helloed of an aperture in the main chim ._neythat_gave-aceess_to_the -flue -which--led from tho.fire•pleee of the-hall-room. I-Te accordingly captured a large cat, and ensconced himself in the - smoke•house, just before the feat of ventriloquism was to begin. When the Signor commenced calling for 'Pe ter,' he allowed him to converse with the imaginery interlocutor for a short - time for a short time without but wh'en Blitz requested Teter' to come clown near the fire for a little. familiar chat, the hoarder's'voice replied that he would see him in the place of punishment first ‘tind they, he wouldn't.' Blitz was hardly able to conceal his as tonishMent at the reply, but the audience ihougbit he magician was outdoing himself,aud cheered him tremendously. - 'Peter, come down, will you?' ,'See ye in my home first ! Nor my name ain't Peter 'neither. He keeitt the key of other place. 'What isf:your name?' q am Old .§..-drdtch.' Blitz scratched his head, and the audience thought he was getting, rattier profane.— Blitz knew that he was sold but could think of nothing better than to continue the trick . 'Are you Old Scratch, the fire king; ? would be happy to sees Old gciatCh here.' . 'Well; are you ready/' This word had scarcely reached the chim— ney when the. big torn' Cat came Aumbling and scratching down, filling the magician's ears with soot, and his audience with inex tinguishable' laukliter. . • locefoce matches, and he disappear 4 with a bound.
