NAT PUCKET. THE INDIAN-HATER.
Inthe summer of 1837, while on a visit to Texas, I wos induced, by lho favorable sccounta Iliad received fromihe "West," to reconnoi¬ tre that porlionof the " Young Republic."— Travelling alone and unarmed, at tlmt ume, was, not quite so safe as on evening's promenade, down Broadway ; and, accordingly, Iwaa ad¬ viaed lo purciiase a gun, the adviser having one which he said would suit me exactly ; alt lhat I had to do was to pull the trigger, and '* fiW toait thar," but unforiunately, never. where she was aimed. Having cut a hole in the.middle of my blanket, ihrough which I ihrustmj head, tied a '-lariat" round my mustang's neck,' ond a couple of diminutive ow.bowa, in the sbape of stirrupa to my saddle, I mounted," and aet off; and in the course of a few hours v^'aa fortunlae enough to overtake a company o( eomeseven o"" eighiothers, who, like myself, intended^akihg a "tour of observalion" through lhe "fVe?t."
For several days we jogged along, encounter¬ ing nothing' in Jhe way ol adventure more bi- tjuani than thc death of a deer, or an occasional Ecainper after a drove of wild horses- The country, however, over which we journeyed, fully compensated forthis dearth o! "incident
by flood and field ;'* and we caiiie
unanimously
to the conclusion, ihat it fully meriled the glow¬ ing colora in which it had been described lo us. Never before had I seen so much richness of verdure ; such a happy blending of green, un¬ dulating prairies, and park-like woods. I doubt iflfihould have been at all surprised, had I come suddenly on some turreled caslle, with all its moats, draw-bridges, and frowning walls; so much did tlictc naiural lawns and parka remind me ot the descriptions I had read of *' lordly do¬ mains" and *' regal estates."
But as yet, saving the log-housea of lhe back¬ woodsmen, (which, heaven knows, wero few and far between,) nothing like civilization was to be seen. As wc had taken the precaution, however, when paaaing through the *' city" of Brazoria, 10 supply ourselves with provisions and camp-equipage, wo suffered no inconveni¬ ence, on this account; but whenever and wliercvcr inclination followed, we pitched our tent, most generally upon lhe banks of some one of the numerous and beautiful lit¬ tle streams that intersected ihe country. Then, after staking our horses among the luxuriant herbage, (an car of corn would have "siamp- cd" the whole drove,) and placing a guard over ihem, we would build up a roaring fire, nnd at¬ tack " such creature comforts" aa our labor af¬ forded, wuh well-sharpened appetites.
In this way we travelled on, until we came to ihc La Vaca, where wc purposed resting a day to recruit our horsea. That night il fell to my lot to bo guard over them. The moon was shining brightly, and, taking my gun in my hand' 1 sat down wilh my back against a fallen tree, in such a position asto command a " bird's eye view" of the camp and na vicinity.
I know not how long I had been thus seated, when all ot once tbc moon became eclipse^, and the horses seemed to increase in size, until it appearco to mc thcy formed but one huge shadowy animal. I remember trying to recall to mind whether or not I had seen in the alma naccs any announcement of such eclipse, and al¬ so endeavoring lo reason philosophically with myself upon the strange phenomenon ot the horses; but tbc next morning when I awoke, not a single horse was to be seen. With secret misgivings, I hurried to the spot where we had staked ihem out, but all were gone, saving my poor mustan;:, lhat lay dead upon thc ground, with several arrows Slil! sticking in hia side.— Thcy cvplained all. The Indians {whoperhaps had bL-en waiting an opportunity for several days yi steal our horses) had taken advantage of the eclipse of the moon to do uo; and as my mustang, no doubt, hod refused to go any course exccpi bis own, (I had mysell noticed lhat little amiable trait in his characler at limesj his dealh was thc consequence.
A council of war was immediately held, as to what should bc done, and it was resolved lhat aome of ua should return to a "selilement," e few miles back, procure other horses, if possible, and then follow the Indians. Accordingly, a "committee ef three" was appoinied lo-wait upon the "'aoitlcment," and slate our unforiun¬ aie situation to the inhabitants.
In the course ofa few houra, the committee returned, bringing with them a aufficieni num¬ ber of horses to re-mount our company; but, Oi most of ihem were vicious, half-broken devils. just laken Irom the prairies, it was some time before we could bring them into terms. Fortun¬ ately for me, lhe one that fell to my lol was rather less fractious than the rest, and I only received two kicks and a bite before I was fair¬ ly seated in the saddle. As soon as we had ex amined our arms, lomake aure that all waa right, we set offin full gallop upon the trail of tho Indians, which at firal was plainly viaible omidsi the tall grass oflhe rich prairiea border¬ ing the river.
Wc had gone, X suppoae, some three or four miles, when, perceiving that my girth had be come unbuckled, I dismounted to re-fasten it. Whilo engaged in this operation, I heard the aound of a horse's hoofs, and, looking back, dis covered some one rapidly approaching on our trail. In a few moments, he came alongside of me, and.giving mc the usual salutation of "How goes it, stranger?" he observed, thai hearing in lhe "settlement" ofour intended expedition, he had concluded to join us, if it waa entirely agreeable. I assured him that such a, reinforce¬ ment to our small number would be perfectly "agreeable," and, re-mouniing my horse, aa we rode on I had time to obaerve the "personnel" of the strange specimen who had ao unexpected, ly added himself to our party.
He seemed to bs about forty yeara of age; tall and raiher spare made; and had a complexion very nearly the color of unburnt bricks; at the . aamo lime, however, the great breadth of his shouldera, and the swelling muscles ofhis arm, which were apparent aa he reined in lhe fiery little Mexican horse upon which he rode, gave token of strength and power of endurance. He was dressed in a hcniing shirt and leggins, lhe usual costume at lhat lime of all classes, and his head was covered with a coon-skin cap, the toil of which dangled gracefully on one aide, A long rifle was balanced on hia ahoulder, which, with a shot-pouch, and a bttnch of something hanging from his belt, lhat looked marvellously like buiimii scalps, ronipieiod his cquipmenia.
After we had galloped on some time in silence he suddenly observed : 'Stranger, did you over ahool an Ingen ?* 'No,' r replied, I never did ; bul if I can on¬ ly catch the rascal  tbal killed my mustang, I hope to have the satisfaciion before long.'
•Satisfaction !' aaid he ; 'why, ii'a a real pleasure to tumble over onc of ihem there yal- lovv devils ! How ofien have I waylaid their paths, for whole days and nights, hving upon noihing but dried veniaon, and exposed to all kinds of weather, juat to get one pop at the var¬ mints, and ihought rayself well paid, when I had knocked over a atrangling raacal, and tak- inga Ultle thing like theae (pointing to the scalps that hung at his belt) from the top- of his head ! I believe I am geiting used to it, ihough, now," said he, " for, (and he sighed, to think I how callous he waa becoming) it don't etir mo up like it did at first, when I draw a lead upon an Ingen, and see him pitch head-foreraoat frora his horse upon the ^ound. Then I uasd to jainp out ofmy hiding place, and whirl my gun wound my head' and ahout till my breath, waa gone, nnd stamp upon them with my feet, and tear lhe. Bcalps from their heada ; but now, thongh'I like lo kill Ingena as mueh as ever, I am gelling i sorter uaed to it. and never uke « ao Oh, atmnger, (and he sighed again.) how I tnvy you I your firal Ingen !" I
I looked at the man in astoniohment as he apoke ihufl, and for the first time obaervedthat' Wild and restless expression of the eye, which usually denotes an unsettled intellect. My eas- piciona were confirmed, when after a short ai- lence, he said:
'Stranger, ray name ia Nalban Packet, all tho way from tha old North Slate. I'm a'remot? circumatance,' I know, and can't read or write, 'pen-writing ;' but i^uea 'it comes to logon- fighting, you can set me down for seven chan- ces !"
Wiahing to humor him a little, I aaked him "Why it was he had 'such a Hatred to tha Inamnaf

After a short^^fellerice, seemingly nitninating npon ihe greal^cdnaumption of ibe raw material,' of whi^h'hkliadb^en speakmff. he resumed : . ¦ '-'-Noiyaf I was only one of iboso great lords I have beara tell of in the "Old Conntry/'and had-one of Iheir big parks, do you ihiok I'd stock it wilh deer and sich liko game ? Yes, I'd havQ-them, too, but I rather.- reckon Ingens would be lhe most plenty. .Then every morn¬ ing after breakfast, I'd throw my rifle on my sbpulder, taka a turn or so: aronnd the premisca, knock over a KickapoD. and, if, I felt right In- 'genified, perhap3,a half-grown Waco, and by that time I'd have an appetite for dinner.; Al¬ ter dinners couple of Tonkewas, and a Lipan or so, would amuse rae till.night; and .then, if lieir eyes would only ahine.I'd give em a email turn at fire-huniing* Whoop! wouldn't that be sport, stranger?"
Apparently much elated by this little effort at castle building, he put spurs to fais horae, and dashed offal a rapid rate, thai I found conaider¬ able difficulty id keeping up with him. Gradu¬ ally, however, aa the excitement wore off, he slackened his pace, and repeating the queation I had asked him a few moments before, namely, why it was he had such a hatred to the Indian race he replied;
*' Stranger, lhey killed ray father, my mother, my brothers, and my sistera, and they would have killed me too, ifl had not ueen preaerved by Providence to revenge their deaths. I'll never forget that day, stracger! In the morn¬ ing I had started out to kill aome meat, and when I left home, my, lillle brothera and siaters were playing in the yard; my poor old mother was in the house a-reading in the Bible to my gray-haired father, and everything looked so peaceful and quiet. Wiicn I come back, the smoke was rising from the apol where my home had stood, and near by lay the bodies of my murdered father, mother, brothers and sialors.— I was alone in the world. For a long time afterward, I wa'n't exactly right here," said he» (tapping his forehead,) " and even now, when Ingens issca'ce,and I don't get my regular, I'm mighty flighty at times."
In a short lime we overlook the rest of the party, who wore busily engaged in trying to re¬ cover tho trail oflhe Indians, which, passing at that point over a hard rocky prairie, had become totally invisible, ot least lo our unpracticed eyes. A nd now it waa thot thc genius of friend Nathan began to ahow itself. Dismounting, and leading his horse by thc bridle, he walked alowly ahead of ua, every now and then slopping lo examine a broken blade of grass, or some leaf or pebble, that seemed to him to havo been displaced from ita natural position. At length he came to a dead halt; even he with allhis woodcraft, beingg unable todelcctany farther signsof the Inilians, Suddenly he exclaimed:
• Ah ! I know now what the red devils are up to ! They have * squandered' here, and if we scatter too, and circumambiaie around, we will be apt to Btrike the trail again where they come logether."
His advices were laken, and by circling round the point where ihelast trace of the Irail had been lost, wider and wider each lime, in less than an hour wc came on it once more, ond ao plain, that we had no difKcuIty in following it aa fast as our jaded horses could go. From thence llie Indians seemed to have lost all opprehen sions ol farther pursuit, and in a short limo we came to where lhey had encamped ao recently that their firea were siill burning. An hour's ride brought us to the Chirkalete, a small trib utary ofthe La Vaca, near which we discovered tho blanket-tents ofthe Indians, and puling speed to our horses, the Indians had acarcely lime to seize iheir guns and bows before we were upon hem. I say 'we,' but unlortunately for the military renown I waa about to acquire, my mustang took it into hJs head to make his onset (after lho manner of the Chinese) by lurnine a ' couple of somersets and a flip-flap, and then com¬ menced a seriea of' pitchinga' that would have done honor lo a ateamboat in a heavy sea-way. A.1 the firal pilch, away flew ono ofmy pistols frora my belt; at lhe aecond, the other followed auil, and at the third, my hat went by lho board ; so that by thc lime wo had pitched into the enemy's camp, I bad nothing left but my rifle. Perceiving lhat the rest had dismounted and ' treed,' I thought it advisable to do the aame, particularly aa the balla began to whiatlo in very uncomfortable proximity to roy head. I have read somewhere lhat a celebrated general once remarked, during a battle, lhat the whistPng 0* bullcis was to faim the moat raelodious of sounds" It may have been so, bui in my opinion he had a bad ear for muaic.   Butto return.
Juat a? I waa in the act of diamounting, a tail hideooaly-painted Indian stepped from behind a tree, a few paces off, and drew an arrow upon me. Thinks I to myaelf, I'm spitted before I can aay * Jack Robinson;' and ao perhaps I should have been, but just at tbat critical junc¬ ture, my musiang.frightened by the firing of guns and the yelling of the Indians, raade a dozen pitches, all concentrated into one, which landed me head-fremoat opon the ground. I rose, thirst' ing for vengeance, and levelUng'my rifle at the . raacal who shot the May-pole at me, I fired and cut a considerable limb from the top oflhe oak under which he was standing. After a few rounds the Indians retreated, leaving two of their number upon the ground ; but es neither ofthem, upon inspection, showed any evidence ol having been killed by a falling limb, my con¬ science does not accuac. me of being at all ac¬ cessory to iheir death. Iam afraid, however, lhat Nathan could not aay as rauch, mr he poin" ted to a ghastly wound in the breast of one 0 them, and remarked : * That's the kind o' hole my rifle always makea! At any rate,* said be, ' I shall claim hiaacalp;' and fluUing the aciion to the word, he commenced ctiltiog it off, wiih as much care as if engaged in aome moat delicate surgical operation. At that momeni the sharp crack ofa rifle waa heard, and Nathan, letting fall the knile from his hand staggered backwards ogainat the trunk of a tree. I thougfal at first it was all over with him; but he quickly recov¬ ered hiraself, having only beenalunned by the concussion oftbe ball, which alightly grazed hia forehead.
Looking round to see from whence the ahot had come, he observed the other Indian, whom he had aupposed to be dead, in the act of sinking back upon the ground, frora whence he had parlially riaeii, in order to take a more deliber¬ ate aim at hie haled foe. Nathan, casiing hia eyq^ loward him, aa mueh as to say, "Now, don't-be in a hurry;- I'll attend lo your case pre- eently," cooly recommenced his surgical opera¬ tions, in which he had been so unexpectedly disturbed. Having finished it to his satisfaction he leisurely wiped the blood from his knife, re¬ turned it lo the scabbard, and. picked up his rifle, he walked alowly and deliberately to the spot wher:: lay the wounded Indian. Placing the muzzle directly against his head, he pulled lhe trigger with as much sang-froid aa if it had been, a rattlesnake he was about to shoot, turned away jusl aa the gun was di8charged,and when I looked again, Nathan waa calmly re¬ loading his rifle.
After collecting our horses,, which were tied^ to the neighboring treea, we shifted our saddles from those wo had ridden during the day, and set out on our returti, and abotit four o'clock in the morning arrived ot "the "seltlemant," hav¬ ing-iravelled (with the excepiionof a half hoar or so, where we came up with thelnditms)more than Baventy-flvo miles wiihout* "halting.,' That night a 'blow-out* was given in the 'settlement' in honor of our successful foray',' and notwith¬ standing the hard ride of the previous day, the vigor with which we footed it to the enliveninff tunes of ',*Hug/era Snug," and "Kiss rae Sff^-et- lyi" .was no doubt long remembered bythe belles of La Vaca, ?._..
On enquiring for Nathan.the Jiexl morning, I waaiold that, having IMcLin his. usual supplies ofammumtion, &c., he had jost atarted off upon another "quiet, slill haat" after the Indians.— Knickerbocker. "    ;.

By no means.' These.Boaion men havo found out a best way. >,      ^
If your house take^ fire, and gets post domes¬ iic control, aod you leel.it necessary to appeal to the municipal authorities, for help, do not. be atall excited or alarmed. Do not make yoursell led in the face, and hoarse wiih shouting. Put on your hat and run to yotider corner whoria you see that little iron box fastened up against the | wall; step imo the stored ask quietly lor (he key, adding, " My houae is on fire," by way of apology for the intrusion; now unlock the little iron door, and, remembering that' ihe longest vtray round is sometimes the shortest way home, obey the inscription and " turn six times alow¬ ly." Your reaponsibility is ended; You've done all you need to. Boston will take caro ot your house. Shut to the little door. Hurry home or the enginea will be there before you !
Every boll in the cily and aeveral more across the water are telling people where you live, and that your house is on fare. In other parts of ihe city men with glazed hats and brass, (rumpels may be aeen running to these same little iron boxes ; they seem to wfaiaper a moment, then lhey listen, and then they look very knowing, and slap the door to; and here they come, all pell-mell to your help. , How much time has elapsed sinco you needed help 1 Perhaps three minutes. There is a beat way of giving an alarm, that's a fact. But how waa it done?
That lillle iron box you opened waa a tele¬ graph elation; you can see the wires where lhey come down through those two,iron pipes into tbe box. The crank you turnad is merely a contrivance that enables an inexperienced per¬ son to send the only message ever sent froni this box—//» oit)n 7iujnber. Just so a hnnd organ en^ ablea the grinder loplay one tune well, even though he be no organist. You turned it aix (imes. Once would have been enough, bul six timea over, and every time the same number, there would be no mistake. The central office knew in an insiant ofyour distress.
Yes, bul how did that moke the bells ring all over the city, and East Boston too ? Do they keep a sexton at every bell rope all the time ready to pull when any body telegrapha ?
No. That would bo full as bad as tho New York plan of keeping waichmen up in the fire towers, on a perpetual look out. That would not be scientific enough for a "best" way. But you know a church clock strikes the hours with¬ out any help from the sexton except to wind it up. Juat so the bells are rung fur fire ; in every steeple there is a machine like the striking train ofaclotik. These machines will strike aeveral hundred blows each wiih their heavy hammera by being wound up once. When you sent off yoor dispatch, it went direct to a third story rcom on Court Square and was read by a man whose business it ia to attend to such mcasagcs. From the same room he can, by touching a key, send by anoiher sei of wires a current of galvan. ism to every steeple in the city. If you look you can see these wires entering every steeple that holds a good bell. When thia galvanic current passes iuto the several steeples, it circu¬ lates in each around a bar of soft iron, which in¬ stantly becomes a powerful magnet, sirong enough 10 lift lho deleat that keeps ihe striking machines from running. Now these machinea are made so lhat they would strike one blow and stop, unless lhe magnet keeps lhe detent back and leaves the wheels unlocked and free to run. So this man in the litlie third story room by the Court House, (he'll show you how it ia done ifyou call upon him, fur he is very courte¬ ous to viaitora.) can, by pressing ihe proper knob or key, make theae heavy bell hammers strike any number he chooses. And ho make them strike the number ofyour word.
But how happened the engines and firemen to come straight to my houso f There are two or three thousand houses in the ward.
The foreman of every fire company has a key to tbes ¦- useful litlie iron boxes, and so when he haa got to the ward signified by the bells, he runs to the neareat box, and sends a private sig¬ nal to the man in] Court Square, asking "just wliere is the fire ?" and ihen ho listens while the answer comes back in little laps, one, two, three, /our, &c., till he learns ihe numberofihe very box you opened when you gave the alarm in the first place. Every box hos its own number.— The bells tolled the firemen what ward, and the telegraph laps whispered what stalion box the alarm came from.
I see. But is it worlh all this troable of wires and machinery and boxes and- batter¬ ies 1
Yea, indeed. Five minutes at the beginning ofa fire are very precioua. But often limea, so rapid In ihia system, an alarm will be given, bells rung, boxes consulted, fire found, hose procur¬ ed and screwed to a Cochituate fire plug, and the fire exiinguished, ere the faratly in danger are we II awako. Mony a time, tho first thing a man knows of his danger by fire, isthathisroom is flooded with walcr.
But this municipal telegraph is uaed for more purposes than onc. In caae of riot, the police captains can send for help to head quarters. To catch an absconding thief by setting guard at every railroad and steamboat, can bo done five minutes. Then, too, very soon all tho city clocka will be hitched togethor by these wires, and all ofthem go by one central penduluin, ac¬ curately, five hundrod clocks alike to a second 1 Go it, Boston ! We shall soon hear ol newer notions still. The next move will be introduce into every first class house cily time as well as city water and city gaa. Telegraphic time wires will be iniroduced jusl asnow the wa¬ ter pipes and gas fixtures are. What amillenium ofpunciuality • Twenty thousand clocks tick ing together! Yes, and next we shall hear ol a refinement oflhe firosyetem. Philip'sannihi lators will be buill into the walls, their nozzles just peeping out into the room. Convenieni wires will be arranged so that a man waked at midnight by a smell of fire or a red light in his room, will only need reach out his arm to the fire knob, and pull it "aix limes slowly," and instantly that wakeful, watchful, handy man on Court Square will touch his wires, not to fright¬ en sleep from all the city with his dinging bells, but quietly he'll touch the wire, nnd smash go thc acid bottlea in the ambushed annihilaiors; phiz, equiz, fush-sh-sh, ruahes oift tho humid, fire destroying, life-preaerving vapor. The un- acoBOnsble fire surrenders and goes out. But long ere this, the solid man has rolled himself back into bed again, tucked tho blanket snug about his chin and fallen asleep, blessing the best, the very best, the Boaton way of putting out fires.

The incident,which I am about to relate, oc' curred in th^ early history of Biddeford.
Aman, who then lived onthe . farm'now .oc¬ cupied by Mr.,H-T—, wasono,autumn engaged. in fellingireefl at some distance from hia home. Hia little.son, eight yearsold, was iii the habit; when Ilia Wdiher was busy with household cdre^i,^] of runniiig out inidibe fields and woods around the house, anti often going whore lhe father wasat .work. One day, after the frost had rdb' bed the treesof their foliage, the ftither left his work sooner than nWl.and^tarted.for honae; Just at lhe edge ol the forest he saw a.curious pile of leaves—wuhout stopping^ to think what had raade it, he cautiously removed the leaves, when-what was hisusionishment lb find hisown darling boy lying there sound asleep. 'Twaa but the work of a moment .to take up the liiilt \ sleeper, put in his place a small log, carefully j replace the leaves and conceal himaelf among the neareat bushes, there lo watch the reault.
After wailing a abort time he heard a wolfs diataui howl, quickly followed by another and another, till the woods seemed alive with the fearful sounds. . .
The howls came nearer, and in a few minutea a large gaunt, savage . looking wolf leaped into the opening, closely followed by the whole pack. The leader sprang directly upon the pile of leaves and inan inatant scattering tbem ia every direction. Soon as he eaw ihe deception his look of fierceness and confidence changed to that of thc most abject fear. Ho shrank bock, cowed io the ground and passively awaited his late ; for the rest enraged by the supposed cheat, fell upon him, lore him in pieces, and devoured him on the spot.
When they had finished iheir comrade, lhey wheeled around plunged into the forest and dis¬ appeared ; within five minutea from their fira^ appearance not a wolf was in eight. The exci¬ ted faiher pressed his child to hia bosom and thanked ihe kind Providence which led him there to aave his dear boy.
Tho boy, after playing till he was weary, had laid down and fallen asleep, and in ihat sit¬ uation the wolf had found him and covered faim with leavea until ho could bring his comrades to the feast; but himself lurnished the repast.— Biddeford Journal.

Royal Roads to Learning."—Onc of tho most difficult problems which tbe teacher in any branch of instruction haa to encounter, is to de cide how far he Bhall teach—to hit the exact medium between making the path of the learn¬ er too rugged and too easy. On lho ono hand, it is evident, he should not run into extreme of coddling internating tbe mental fibres of the pupil, by desiroying ail the labor of every pro- cees, nor on the other should he heap too many difficulties and trials upon his shoulders, so as to discourage him and break down his strength. Formerly, the steep and rugged path was thought the best one for the learner to lollow.— The teachers of the olden time had "noopinton" of royal roada to learning, and science-made-ea- ay modes of cultivation. That the youthful spirit revolts against severe study, they knew full well; but they knew that it is only by hard atudy that iniellectual atrength can bc gained.— They were conscious ihat no knowledge was eo valuable pg thai which aman acquires for him¬ seU—and that it is by such acquisitions only that the mind is disciplined, and not by what is poured into it as a massive recipient. The old way of teaching boys to swim, waa to plunge them headlong into lhe water, and let thera struggle for their lives ; but now iliey are buoy¬ ed up with cork jackets and life-preservers, or aro caught by friends the moment they duck their faces, and are even taught the theojy o( swimming beforehand.
Plausible as this may seem in iheory, we be¬ lieve the old practice was the best ono. It ia not by treading the "primrose path of dalli¬ ance,*' hul by climbing the craggy eteeps of scholarship, that intellectual athletes are rear¬ ed. It is not the hot-house or the well sheltered garden, but on the Alpine ch'fl, where the storm howls most furiously, that the toughest plants are found. Till the laws of moral being arc changed, no thorough education can be ac¬ quired, except by intense toil, and perpetual jjrapplings with difficuhy ; and as the strain must come at some time in life, thc quostion Is only whether it shall bo diffijsed over years of labofOUB education, or be accumulated upon tho Occasions of future efibrt. Better, in our opin¬ ion, that this drudgery should be gone through once for all, in early years, than be alE one's life-time servmg an apprenticeship. It i great mistake to suppose that the obstacles which a scholar meets in his path are a curse "Difficulty," says the sagacious-Burke, is a severe instructor set over us by the supreme or¬ dinance of a paternal guardian and legislator, who knows us better than we know ourselvea, as he loves us better, too. He that wrestles with us strengthens our sinews and sharpens our skill; onr antagonist is our keeper." There ia a world of meaning in this brief quotation, and we commend it to those who advocate '* ro/a' roads to learning," and think it better thatthe student should be carried up the hill of science in a go-c.irt, than plod up wearily by his own alow and painful, but disciplinary steps.— Yan¬ kee Blade.

Predictfons for 1853.
The year 1853 willbe avery eventful one— to every old moid who gets married-
Throughout tho wliole course of the year' whenever the moon wanes, the nights will grow dark.
Those who have debts to pay and no cash, will lose their credit.
It ia probable that ifthcre isno buainess doing, people will complain of hard times, but it is certain that thoae who hang themselvea will es¬ cape starvation.
Any man who spends faster than he earna, will not bc any richer at tho end ofihe year, thin he was at tho beginning, which is more certain still.
He that bites offhis own nose, or turns politi¬ cian, will act Uke a fool, and that is most certain ofall.
Many a man will grow rich tbia year—in a dream.
Tho present session of Congress will be one of uncommon interest and imporlance. This can. not fail of proving true, because it has be^ said every year regularly since wo have had any re¬ memberance.
If dandies wear their beards there willbe Ices work for the barbers. He who wears muslasoh es will have something to sneeze at.
If the incumbent of a lat office should die, there will be a dozen feet ready to atep into one pair of shoes.
He who marries durirtg this year will run a great risk—that is, ifhe doea it in a hurry.
Ha,who wishea to borrow money, this year, will know the value of it.
Whosoever ia iii love this year, will think fais mistress an angel.
Whosoever.gets married will find out wheth¬ er it be true.
He that loses his hair this year, will become bald.
He that loses hia wife, will become a widow¬ er.
Ifany young lady ahould happen to; blush, or baste a turkey, she will grow red in the faci;— If she dreamaofayoungmanthree nightsin BuccesBibn, it willbe a mgn of something.—If| ehe dresniB of hitn fonr time&, or have the lOiith- ache, it is ten lo one that she'ts-a -long time get- lidg either of Ihem out other head..      '¦-''¦¦
There will hs^ gr6at noise iibout tho country —wfaeneTerittbuiid^^rflraiid a great diist will be kicked .up-—by j;pachga, and .horses—unless' the roiids are.McAdamifled.  ...   ',
