ROUND THE CORNER WAITING. , s ' ' : / ..TTTi in a by-street, to A Wait his retnrn. Tom, pawing that war, «fl*firved him. Th^night was dark, and T6to'« dvil genius at once suggested an adventure. He bad frequently seen a poor old donkey Cine on the common in the rear of the col. It took hot a short time to substitute the donkey for the President's spirited animal. But Tom, not content, must needs carry off the whip, so that, as he afterwards said tne "doctor" would drive with proper dignity on his return. He then hastened to the college, but while pasting along the corridor on his way to his room, with the whip in his band heobserved one of the professors approaching. The risk of detection was imminent; a door stood ajar, and, without a moment's thought, in went the whip. The President was greeted an bis retnrn by a large crowd, gathered together by a false alafin of fire) gotten up for the occasion. 'A rigid search discovered the lost whip in Wilson's room. His indignant denial of all knowledge of the transaction, or how tbe whip got tbpre, availed him nothing, in fact, but aggravated the matter; and dismissal would have been the result, had not Tom nobly avowed himself to be the delinquent. liis nmnliltpss saved his friend, and mitigated hie own case, for he was let off with a reprimand. The reador will now understand the character of tbe two/rienda, and we need only add that Hardy had studied law as tbe means of winuing fame and fortune, particularly tbe latter, he said ; while Wilson, being tbe son I of wealthy parents, bad devoted bis talents to I tbe study of medici'nd through inclination. I " Tom, I Intend to serenade Julia to-night,' ! said Wilson, meeting Hardy in the street some time after tbe conversation alluded to ] had taken place, during which the rivalry had become extremely interesting. Julia Mortimer really preferred Hardy, but could not resist the opportunity afforded lDy Wilson'j visits to excite his jealousy. She consequently appeared to favor Wilson, to that individual's no small gratification, and Hardy's intense annoyance. " Better than roe T" asked Tom, evasively. " What impudence! I don't tore yon." " Yes, you do." , " I tell voa I don't." " I am determined you shall." " And I am determind that I won't. I've got a pretty French poodle to love." Tom wilted. He slightly recovered when he recollected that the aforesaid poodle bad originally been given by bimself to her brother. He thought of the old adage, reversed it to read " Love my dog, love me, and consoled himself frith it. first note was scarce sounded era it was echoed back with such an echo jm ne'er sounded °n\th« ears of astonished musicians before.— From every room of the unoccupied house arose such unearthly soitnds as had never before startled that neighborhood from its propriety. Such a howling, such a caterwauling, such a perfect chaos of noises rent the air that each looked at the Other aghast. Windows flew up, staid uiticens rushed from their beds wondering if Pandemonium had broken loose. The attempts of the serenading party but added to the confusion. The alarm Bprcad, the bells struck, and the firemen hastened to the scene of tumult. Kre matters had reached its climax, Tom and his confederates bad decamped, leaving their four footed friends to finish the concert, while Wilson and his frjends retired, chagrined and disgusted to their homes. 9Br One evening, after • weary march through the desert, Mohammed, camping With hi* followers, overheard one of them sayipgr " I will unloose my camel and oomroit It to God."

JQ"*There are echoes in the ait, but few in the hearts of our fellow creatures when the reverbration would tell of distress. After hid signal defeat Wilson could not muster courage to oall on Julia. He felt angry at Hardy, but what eoald he do. He hud thrown down the gauntlet and proclaimed that all was fair in lore and war, the consequences had recoiled upon his own head, ho must e'en bear them. He determined to make one more effort, and by success wipe out the remembrance of his two failure*. This time his plans were laid with piucb caution. The first Intimation that Hardy had of his intention was given by. the meeting the musicians in front of the honse as he was leaving it All was safe now, there was ao time to get up an amateur opposition, and all went on pleasantly. Several airs had been played without interruption. Wilson was delighted. He took his guitar and prepared for a song.

The serenade was conducted with much skill. Julia was both delighted and surprised —delighted with the choice ofmusio selected, and surprised that Tom should have exhibited such exquisite taste in setting it up. She knew very well that he had done it, though be modestly denied it She would have invited the musicians in to regale themselves, for the thermometer was below zero, but Tom wickedly persuaded her that they would most probably take heavy colds to which musicians are peculiarly susceptible.He took his leave with many thanks, which he truly declared he did not deserve.

He"Jmarried, early in life a widow lady, Mrs. Martha Custis. Washington commeuoed business as a county surveyor, and was present in that character at a sham fight, under Gen. Bradduok, when so many guns were fired that tha whole body of militia were stunned by A* explosion, and sat down to supper unableate hear a word that was said. This supper w'as afterwards alluded to as Braddock's deaf eat, and the simile, "deaf as Braddock," subsequently vulgarized into "deaf.as haddock," had its rise in that circumstance. Washington commanded several troops during the revolutionary war, and distinguished himself by crossing the Delaware river on ice of very moderate thickness, to visit a family of Hessians of his acquaintance. He was passionately fond of green peas and string beans; and his favorite motto was "in time of peas prepare for war." Washington was a member of the Nothing order, and directed that none but the Americans should be put on guard, which greatly annoyed Americans, tbeir comfort being entirely destroyed by perpetual turn* of guard duty. Although for the time in which be liyed, a very distinguished man, the ignorance of Washington in some things is perfeotly incredible. He never travoled «n a steamboat, never saw a railroad or locomotive engine, was entirely ignorant of the principles of the magnetic telegraph; he never had a daguerreotype, Colt's pistol, Sharp's riife, or used a friction match. He eat his meals with an iron fork, never used postage stamps on his letters, and knew nothing of the use of chloroform to alleviate suffering, or the use of gaa for illumination. Such a man as this could be elected President of the United States in those times, although it must be confessed, we occasionally have a candidate who proves not much informed about matters in general.

Aswl they parted as friends and mall. Tom Hardy and Dick Wilson had been ohuuis at college. Why they were such intimate friends, none understood. It is doubtful if they could themselves tell what created and oemented the friendship between them.— There was no affinity in tastes, dispositions «nd pnrsuits. Hardy was a most i«corrigible wag, the life of the college, the pioneer ia every dare-devil-enterprise; Wilson reserved and studious; Hardy would glance hastily through his studios in the evening, then throw bis books aside and start off on aome uiad frolio ; Wilson would laboriously study late m the night; Hardy would play off bis pranks-alike on friend or foe ; Wilson would comfort his victims, himself frequently naong the number. Wilsoa was fond of music, occasionally recreating hueaalf after Lata study, with bis flute; Hardy did uut know one bar of music from another, but oould tell exaotly what bars in -the. gate were loose, and oould be removed to admit himself Caod uhuoss into the college grounds, long after 'the faoulty supposed them in bed. On one oecasion, after Tom and aome friends bad been regaling the Preeidaht of the Collage Loanainateur serenade with kettle .tin horns. Ac,, during which tbe shrill Botes of a 'craaked flute predominated, all were ibaad, on a search being instituted through the rdftme aAloted to tliera, asleep (?) except Wilson, who was playing on bis flute. He was strongly suspected, and his good ohaeaetor alone saved him from a public reprimand. Another praotical joke, perpetrated by Tom, while it threatened more serious oonsequsnoes developed bis better nature, rn 1 united them more firmly than before.

ROUND THE CORNER WAITING. , s ' ' : / ..TTTi in a by-street, to A Wait his retnrn. Tom, pawing that war, «fl*firved him. Th^night was dark, and T6to'« dvil genius at once suggested an adventure. He bad frequently seen a poor old donkey Cine on the common in the rear of the col. It took hot a short time to substitute the donkey for the President's spirited animal. But Tom, not content, must needs carry off the whip, so that, as he afterwards said tne "doctor" would drive with proper dignity on his return. He then hastened to the college, but while pasting along the corridor on his way to his room, with the whip in his band heobserved one of the professors approaching. The risk of detection was imminent; a door stood ajar, and, without a moment's thought, in went the whip. The President was greeted an bis retnrn by a large crowd, gathered together by a false alafin of fire) gotten up for the occasion. 'A rigid search discovered the lost whip in Wilson's room. His indignant denial of all knowledge of the transaction, or how tbe whip got tbpre, availed him nothing, in fact, but aggravated the matter; and dismissal would have been the result, had not Tom nobly avowed himself to be the delinquent. liis nmnliltpss saved his friend, and mitigated hie own case, for he was let off with a reprimand. The reador will now understand the character of tbe two/rienda, and we need only add that Hardy had studied law as tbe means of winuing fame and fortune, particularly tbe latter, he said ; while Wilson, being tbe son I of wealthy parents, bad devoted bis talents to I tbe study of medici'nd through inclination. I " Tom, I Intend to serenade Julia to-night,' ! said Wilson, meeting Hardy in the street some time after tbe conversation alluded to ] had taken place, during which the rivalry had become extremely interesting. Julia Mortimer really preferred Hardy, but could not resist the opportunity afforded lDy Wilson'j visits to excite his jealousy. She consequently appeared to favor Wilson, to that individual's no small gratification, and Hardy's intense annoyance. " Better than roe T" asked Tom, evasively. " What impudence! I don't tore yon." " Yes, you do." , " I tell voa I don't." " I am determined you shall." " And I am determind that I won't. I've got a pretty French poodle to love." Tom wilted. He slightly recovered when he recollected that the aforesaid poodle bad originally been given by bimself to her brother. He thought of the old adage, reversed it to read " Love my dog, love me, and consoled himself frith it. first note was scarce sounded era it was echoed back with such an echo jm ne'er sounded °n\th« ears of astonished musicians before.— From every room of the unoccupied house arose such unearthly soitnds as had never before startled that neighborhood from its propriety. Such a howling, such a caterwauling, such a perfect chaos of noises rent the air that each looked at the Other aghast. Windows flew up, staid uiticens rushed from their beds wondering if Pandemonium had broken loose. The attempts of the serenading party but added to the confusion. The alarm Bprcad, the bells struck, and the firemen hastened to the scene of tumult. Kre matters had reached its climax, Tom and his confederates bad decamped, leaving their four footed friends to finish the concert, while Wilson and his frjends retired, chagrined and disgusted to their homes. 9Br One evening, after • weary march through the desert, Mohammed, camping With hi* followers, overheard one of them sayipgr " I will unloose my camel and oomroit It to God."

JQ"*There are echoes in the ait, but few in the hearts of our fellow creatures when the reverbration would tell of distress. After hid signal defeat Wilson could not muster courage to oall on Julia. He felt angry at Hardy, but what eoald he do. He hud thrown down the gauntlet and proclaimed that all was fair in lore and war, the consequences had recoiled upon his own head, ho must e'en bear them. He determined to make one more effort, and by success wipe out the remembrance of his two failure*. This time his plans were laid with piucb caution. The first Intimation that Hardy had of his intention was given by. the meeting the musicians in front of the honse as he was leaving it All was safe now, there was ao time to get up an amateur opposition, and all went on pleasantly. Several airs had been played without interruption. Wilson was delighted. He took his guitar and prepared for a song.

The serenade was conducted with much skill. Julia was both delighted and surprised —delighted with the choice ofmusio selected, and surprised that Tom should have exhibited such exquisite taste in setting it up. She knew very well that he had done it, though be modestly denied it She would have invited the musicians in to regale themselves, for the thermometer was below zero, but Tom wickedly persuaded her that they would most probably take heavy colds to which musicians are peculiarly susceptible.He took his leave with many thanks, which he truly declared he did not deserve.

He"Jmarried, early in life a widow lady, Mrs. Martha Custis. Washington commeuoed business as a county surveyor, and was present in that character at a sham fight, under Gen. Bradduok, when so many guns were fired that tha whole body of militia were stunned by A* explosion, and sat down to supper unableate hear a word that was said. This supper w'as afterwards alluded to as Braddock's deaf eat, and the simile, "deaf as Braddock," subsequently vulgarized into "deaf.as haddock," had its rise in that circumstance. Washington commanded several troops during the revolutionary war, and distinguished himself by crossing the Delaware river on ice of very moderate thickness, to visit a family of Hessians of his acquaintance. He was passionately fond of green peas and string beans; and his favorite motto was "in time of peas prepare for war." Washington was a member of the Nothing order, and directed that none but the Americans should be put on guard, which greatly annoyed Americans, tbeir comfort being entirely destroyed by perpetual turn* of guard duty. Although for the time in which be liyed, a very distinguished man, the ignorance of Washington in some things is perfeotly incredible. He never travoled «n a steamboat, never saw a railroad or locomotive engine, was entirely ignorant of the principles of the magnetic telegraph; he never had a daguerreotype, Colt's pistol, Sharp's riife, or used a friction match. He eat his meals with an iron fork, never used postage stamps on his letters, and knew nothing of the use of chloroform to alleviate suffering, or the use of gaa for illumination. Such a man as this could be elected President of the United States in those times, although it must be confessed, we occasionally have a candidate who proves not much informed about matters in general.

It is doubtful if they could themselves tell what created and oemented the friendship between them.— There was no affinity in tastes, dispositions «nd pnrsuits. Hardy was a most i«corrigible wag, the life of the college, the pioneer ia every dare-devil-enterprise; Wilson reserved and studious; Hardy would glance hastily through his studios in the evening, then throw bis books aside and start off on aome uiad frolio ; Wilson would laboriously study late m the night; Hardy would play off bis pranks-alike on friend or foe ; Wilson would comfort his victims, himself frequently naong the number.
