His outer covering was hard lo define; but nflcr surveying it minutely, we cnme to the con¬ clusion thnl his suit bnd been made in his boyhood, of a dingy yellow linsey-woolsey, nnd that, having sprouted up with aslonishing rapidity, he had been forced lo piece it out wilh all colors, in order to kvcp pnce wilh his body. In spite of his exertions, however, he hail fallen in nrrents nbout a foot of the necessary Icnglh, and consequently stuck that fur Ihrough his inexpressibles. His crop of hair was surmounted by thc funniest liulc seal skin cap ima¬ ginable. Afler laking a posiiion hc indulged in a long stare at the man opening tho livalvcs, and slowly ejaculated—"IslcrsT"
* Yes, sir,' responded the attentive operator;' and fine ones tbey are, too.'
' Well, I've hearn tell of isters afore,' says he, ' but this is the fust time I've seed 'em, nnd prchSips III know what thur mado of aforo I git out of town.'
Having expressed his desperate intention, ho cautiously approached a plate, and scrutinized the uncased shell-fish wilh a gravily and interest which would have done honor lo thc most illuslrous search, er into tbe hidden mysteries of nature. Al length he began to soliloquise on the difficulty of gelling them o'al, and how queer they look when out.

I've only rc-alized forty-five picayunes i,n my first ven¬ tur' to Sl. Louis. I'll toll you what, I'll gin you two chickens for a dozen, if you'll conclude to deal."
A wag, who was standing by indulging in a do¬ zen, winked to the attendant to shell out and the offer was accepted.
* Now mind,' repeated tho Sueher,' all fair—two chickens for a dozen—you'ro wilness, mister,' turn, ing at the same lime to thc wag; 'none of your tticks, for I've hearn tell that you city fellars, arc mighly sippcry coons.'
Thc bargain being faiily understood, our Sucker squared himself for tho onset—deliberately pul off his seal skin, tucked up his sleeves, and, fork in hand, awaited the appearance of No. 1. Il cnme— hc saw—and quickly it was boiled I A iiiomenl's dreadful pause ensued. The wag dropped hisknifii and fork with a look of mingled amazement and horror—something akin to Shakspeare's Hnmlct on seeing his daddy's ghost,—while he burst into the exclamation—

Our professor borrowed an old rotten awn¬ ing, hung it up and divided his room Into two, put an assistant at Ihe door to toko in quarters, turned a tin cup inside down. In the middle ofan old rick¬ ety table, got a vial of vinegar, pot of lar, a bolllo of whiskey, and va.-ious olher well known oderi¬ ferons mailers arranged around him; nud, wilh a black skull-cap on his head, and a red stick in bis hantl, be tnaiic no bad ' splbl-go' at llio represenla¬ lion of a modern Faust.

He looked aroun^ for hU rule but it wns no where to bc found —and there was no lime to go home for another.— It would be very awkward if Ihc funeral should ar¬ rive nnd l!io grnve nol be large enough. At lenglh hc thought, as the dead man was considerably smal¬ ler than himself if there was room to lie iu it com¬ fortably it would answer—so into the grave he got.
' It'll bc close fit,' muttered hc stretching him¬ self oul—he ullompted lo gel up but ho could nol. Uc dug his hands into thc earth nnd tried to pull himself up,—instead of which ho pulled the earlh down—and tho more ho scranlbled and kicked lo free himaelf from this unpleasant situation, the fas¬ ter the dirt and stones rolled down upon him, until he was neariy buried ulivc. The fright had sober¬ ed him and he began to halloo lustily—
' Help I—Help !—for God's sako come belp me ¦out, or I'll bo buried alive I'
A Washingtonian, who wns pnssing tho grnve yard, heard thc noise—it sounded as though it was above bis hend—and it was some timo before ho could imagine from whence it cnme. Tho cries continued loud and long for "help." Thc Wash¬ ingtonian got over into thc grave ynrd and was at¬ tracted to the spot, and there be saw poor Jake al¬ most covered wilh the dirt and stones.
' Why, what on the earth islho matter]' asked the Washingtonian.
'Oh! sir,' cried Ihe hnlf buried man oh! sirget ttic out and I'll sign^tho pledge I I will, indeed I will!'
Tho BilUation of Jake was extremely perilous, for he dug avVay the earth frdm below, in trying lo ex¬ tricate himself, unlil that abovo was likely to fall in upon him. But notwithstanding Uie danger tbe Wasbingtbnian could not refrain from laughing— for Jake bad repeated ly declared to him that he iji\M nol sign awny his liborly !—However, afler rf''-"--, ¦''"a'llo difTir.uIlv, Jake found himself safelj^

So snys Coleridge, in his moving poem of Ui< ' Three Graves.' 'I'hu cool, deliberalt) malediction of 'A inulber, whose hcarl hns been cslrangod antl lurned lo bate towards her own offspring, is, indeed ablighlning thingi But there isanother mode In which a mother may curse her child, and that is by neglccling ils moral education. Maternal influenM is a trite theme; yet much as hss been aaid to illu*^ Irate ils power, il has never in our opinion, beau overrated. The mothers of a nation are its crea¬ tors: and from (he posiiion God and Nulura giva them, must be its conservitors or destroyers. Th» infiuencc of the nursery surpasses in depth and con-^ tinuance all other influences. As is iho mother so is the daughler—so is ihe Soh; ahd wilh few excepiions, tbo character forttied dbtiiig tho first ten or twelve years of life is immortal; it is that wbicU wc bear with us amid all the changea of lime, and earry away unaltered lo Iho eternal world.

The Poor.
There should be more sympalhy for the poor- It is unfair as well ns unphilosopbical to stigma¬ tize every one who bows to thc pressure of pecu¬ niary embarrassment as the architect of bia owa misery.   In the language of the world's poet;
