THE MIDNIGHT ASSASSIN,
BV flIACOMO S.  CA-VPAKA.
When I was a much younger man than I am now, I saw no inconsiderable portion of Europe with a knapsack on my shoulders. France, particularly, I traversed, ic its length and breadth, ou foot. It is the only modeof traveling that was ever satisfactory to me.— Above all things, I like to be free and un¬ trammelled, independent; and travelling with a knapsack is tbe onlv way io which I ev^T could Pf-cuFH lliw^e reiiuLsite?, in ,iny- tliing like perfection.
The knapsack, tn b** Pur«^, must not b« too large or too heavy ; and to keep it from be¬ coming so, it ia indispensably necessary to aend tbH weigbtv article.^ ahead, establishing certaiu depots or headquarters along the ¦ route, aud putting npou your back only a few changes of linen, for pniseut u.se.
But I am neither writing a etilogy on pe- de.itrianistn uor a hand book forthe praotice of it.   Enough of this, therefore.
'*Once upon a time," in the early fall season, just as the vineyards were beginning to blush with the ripeniii!; of the grapfts, I was trudging aloug a solitary iiumntain path leading from the n<-ighborhood of Lons-le- Saulnier to the village of St. Ainonr, in the Department of Jura. It was a wildly pictu¬ resque and romantic region, my way for the mo^t part, lay along a beautiful stream, a tributary of the Ain: and the attractions of the scenery had given tue so mauy ext:use3 for loitering that it was becomiug every moment more and more evidimt that it would be impossible for me to reach St. Amour that night.
As the sun left ",me, I was descending into a mnch more level country, bnt still a wild and nncultivated oue, affording no sign of hnman habitation. The twilight passed away, the shades of uight descended, aud the stars came ontj one by one, and looked as though they were winking aud blinking at me, in mockery of my vaiu attempt to End a place of shelter.
For more than au liour I groped aloug the uncertain path, inwardly berating myself for the lazy, loitering, lounging disposition which had led me iuto such an eminently disagree¬ able scrape.
At last, I sat down upon a wayside boulder, and resting my chin upon the palm of my right hand, I began to reflect seriously npon what was the best course for me to pursue. Ifelt thati might walk on balf the night without finding a shelter, and I w.as therefore not long in comiug to a conclusion that I could not do a better thing than to take the honlder for a bolster, the knapsack for a pillow, aud all out-of-doors iu general for a bed to lie upon, till nest morning.
While making the very few arraugemeuts necessary for the disposal of my person iu this eminently primitive aud unnecessarily airy bed-chamber, my ears were saluted by the welcome sound of tlie barking of a dog. Hastily picking up my pillow aud the rest of my bed-furuiture (bolster excepted) in oue hand, I started off in tho direction of the noise, "travelling by the bark," as the back¬ woodsmen do, when they distinguish the north from tho south sido of the trees by the moss growing upon them.
The bark did not last long enough to be of much nse to me, iu and nf itself, but it led me to make an important di?covery, namely, a light shining in tlm ?ame direction, which had previously been concealed by a patch of swampy grouud covered with a growth of stunted ireeB and briers. »
This light I followed up Steadily uutil it led me to a small stone house, standing in solitary bleakness upon the desolato-looking moor. Thu light proceeded from a lamp or candle sbiiiiug through an uncurtained and unshuttered wiudow, on the grouud lloor.
Aa I approached the door, I heard the bark again, aud this timu tbt: do,u accompanied it. It was a villanous-looking cur, and it snarled and snapped about roy heels till called off by a hardly less viUanops lookiug mau. He was a tali, dark browed pKasaut with a sour, forbidding look, a.=> I could seo by the in¬ creased light wheu the door was thrown fully | open.
" Good eveuiug," said I. " Will you be kiud enough to lell me how far it is to St. Amour!"
"About two leagues," said lhe m.tn, gruffly, and with a patuis that rendered every word he spoke a separate enigiua.
As far as my capabilities were concerned, the two leagues might just as well have been two huudred.
" Is there any public house between this placo and St. Amour!" asked I.
There is no house of any kind," .replied the enigmatical peasant.
" In that case, my frieud, you will have to supply me with a lodging for the uight. I couldn't travel another league if every foot of the way was strewed with gold Napoleons." It is a fact which I have often observed, but which I will not now undertake to ex¬ plain, that those who murder their mother- tongue in the most hideous manuer, makiug themselves nearly unintelligible to those who speak it in its purity, are uevertheless able, i at them most generally, to understand what is said harsh, grating sound,7a one by the latter tolerably well—much better than the said pnre speakers are able to com¬ prehend them.
Of this phenomenon I had an example in this instance. The dark-faced peasant ap¬ peared to nnderstoud my French (which was Parisian as far as it was anything) very well, while at least balf the words of his I had lo guess at.
After my broad hint abont the lodging, the man eyed me attentively from head to foot,
The longer I stayed the worse I was satis¬ fied with the place aud the people, aud I be¬ gan to bave serious doubts whether it would not have beeu betler.to have trusted myaelf to the tender mercies of the heath-. It would have been b.ad enougb to bave been cooped up anywhere with two such hang-dog lookiug mortals; but on this wild, solitary spot, many miles away from any human habitation, the unpleasant uess might well be excused for de¬ generating into absolute ansiety.
It turned ont, however, tbat the supper which they set before me was by no meaus a bad one, aud its discussion had a decidel ten¬ dency to raise my spirits, thoagh I felt sev¬ eral times a vague disposition to ask myself the question whether the sapper, under the circumstances, was jot rather too good to be altogether au houest ono.
When one's gastric apparatus is higlily strung by exercise, a really good meal has a wonderfully fortifying effect. I fouud it so in this instance. My misgivings disappeared, oue by one, and by the time I was ready for bed I was ready, to laugh to scorn all my foolish suspicious, as mere baseless nonenti¬ ties, eugen-lered by irritated corns, aching legs, aud an empty stomach.
I was showu up a dilapidated staircase into a bedroom over that iu which I had supped. It coutaiued two beds, one of which was al¬ ready occnpied, apparently by a travelerwho had preceded me. The beds were placed with their beads towards eaoh other, near the wall farthest from tbe door. With this un¬ expected room-mate I would willingly have dispensed, 'mt tbere was no help for it, so I wisely delHrmined to think no more about him and go to sleep as soon as possible.
But resolutions of this sort are sometimes not quite so easily kept as made. Weary aa I was, I found it impossible to put such a tether upou my thoughts as would serve to keep thom iu decent subjection to my will. Theyicoit/rfwauderaway,like unruly children, running into all sorts of out-oflhe-way nooks and corners, in spite of all my exertions to prevent them. By-andby I began to grow nervous, to a ridiculous extant, andto he an¬ noyed by the most trifling noises, so that even the loud breathing of my somnolent companion was a torment to me.
While lying iu this condition I heard a noise at the dooi ot the cottage, which waa soou afterward-s opened, giving admission to Several person.s—men, doubtless—the noise of wltose wnotleu'shoes w.as distinctly audi¬ ble. Presently, too, I heard their voices, though iu suppressed tones, and soou after¬ wards I conld see a light streaming throagh tho mauy cracks aud crevices of the floor, for they were in the same room where we had supped, directly below..
This iucident broughi- back all my distrust, I and iu a magnified form.    Who were these > meu, visiting this lonely cottage at such an unusnal hour.   Tbatthey came for auy good ' pnrpose was altogether unlikely.
My room-mate still slept soundly. Shoald j I wake him f Perhaps he was au accomplice of the. peoplH helotv. Perhaps he was put there on purpose that I might waken him.— I would let him alone.
The balf-whispered conversatiou still went on below, and with increasing animation. I could no longer refraiu from listening to it. I arose from my bed, and lying upou tbe floor, on one side, placed my ear directly over one of the holes. Iu this position I could hear much of what was said, and by taking time to think over the words I could very generally make out their meaning.
soou found that there was an animated dis¬ cussion coing on among tbem, but it was some time before I conld form any distinct idea of what it was. By degrees, liowever, enough of the truth uuiolded itself to make me feel very decidedly uncomfortable. Clothed in a paiois so excessively uncouth, many of the ideas expressed must necessarily slip by me; but still, as I have stated, I managed to make out the most of it, and what I did get hold of I felt very sure of baving secured right end foremost.
The majority of the speakers seemed to be on one sidSj -ind the old woman, with oue of the men, on the other. What the question wa.s, I was left to infer from such expressions as I could make out, some being in an eutire and others in a fragmentary condition— Among them wero the followiug:—
" Rich F To be sure he's rich, or weil off, at any rate, if be does travel on foot."
" Well, I don't dispate it." (This was the womau.) "I noticed his gold watch, and I am very certain it couldn't be bought for a thousand francs. He has a ring, too, on his finger, that Tm almost sure is a diamond; for I kuow about such things better than any of joa- But still I go for the little one, as I have told you." " But haven't I told you, over and over—" "Well, well, well, I see yoa all will havelt yonr own way; bnt still I must say that if either of them is to have his throat cut, the little oue will do best; and PU tell you an¬ other reason why X think—"
With my teeth chattering and my hair ac¬ tually bristling with horror, I rose and stole softly to the bedside of my sleeping compan¬ ion, to see wbether he or I was the "big one" thus coolly doomed to destruction.
Tbe room was quite dark, but there was nevertheless liglit enough to verify the fact, the falal fact, that tbe man in the other bed was decidedly below the middle size, while I towered up to the unfortuuato longitude of six feet in my stockings, with a proportionate degree of latitude. I had expected nothing better, it is trne, for, in a casual comparison of this sort,I kuew that it would be altogetb^rr unreasonable for me to aspire to the hope of taming out to be a "little oue." Yet it was with a more tottering step, aud a still farther sinking oftbe heart, that I resumed my post of observatiou.
Feeling a desire to see as well as hear, I searched oot a still larger hole, aud pat my eye to it. I found that I could get a view of the greater part of the room below, and hear, at the same time, nearly as well as before.
Be.sidoa the old people, there were now five or six yoang meu, stout, strong, stalwart, str-ippiug fellows, all debating the question whether tbe "big oue" or the "little one" should have h^s throat cut. While looking my attention was attracted by a comer. Ugh I it was one of the tall young men whetting one of the most undeniably murderous-looking knives my eyes had ever rested upon. Even wheu lying quietly iu a kuife-box, such an implement has a '• pokerish " look ; but just imagine it undergoing the process of sharp¬ ening preparatory to making acquaintance with your own jngulara and carotids—I tell you what, now, it is not a thing to joke about at all, at all 1 ,,,,,,, . .     Human nature could ataud no more 1   I
liked, but I would tod h>3 accommodations withoat makiug a noise. I slipped ou my
of the Eoorest quahly    Of that I felt per- ue.her gannent, to'ok the rest Jmy effecta
Buaded already, but I had not the slightest in my hand, aud went to the window, deler-
idea ot refusing his mvitation, and lest he mined to make a jnmp for it might take a notion to repent of it, I shot      Just as I was beginning cautiously to open
thronghthe door with allpossible expedition, the window, my proceediuga were Sudden y
Iuside was atall, dark-browed womau, buUt I brought to a staud still by a glimpse of oue
of the tall young meu, standing like a sentinel directly beneath the place where I was.
Still determined to get out, if possible, I orosaed to the window on the opposite side, whioh was in front of tho liouse. But escape in that qaarter was still lesa practicable, for the door waa opeu, and aome oue of the peo pie oh tbe inside was every now and then coming to tho threshold, if not quite out of doora.
Like a hunted beast, I knew not whioh way to turn; but at all events, escape, for tbe present at least, was impracticable. I return¬ ed to the bole in the floor. The very tallest, snd the ugliest, too, of the whole batch, was taking off his sabots—his wooden shoes—with one hand, while he held that horrible knife with the other. After the shoes were re¬ moved, he felt the edge of the knife, and with diabolical complacency exclaimed;—
"I'll cut hia throat with that, and do it so slick that he'll never know itl"
If you had been in my place, dear reader, I dare aay you would have acted very bravely, and I dare say yon will feel a great deal of contempt for me because I waa not more conrageoas; but I must " tell the truth and shame the dev 1," though I am sorely afraid tbat it will look more like shaming myself thau Satan.
The simple truth is, that I was just ahout as thoroughly scared as any oue could well be, so much so that my knees actually smote together as I staggered off to my bed. It waa tbat long-bladed, sharp-pninted, backhorn- handlod, jiofccn's/i-lcoking knife that did the business. I liave always had a mortal anti¬ pathy to cold steel. "Villanous saltpeter," and its componuds, are nothing to it. I bore it all tolerably well, till I aaw tbat murderous mau-sticker, and fancied that I feit it grating against ono of my ribs—tben I "caved in,* and acknowledged myself a scared man.
I was not so abjectly frightened, however, as not to take the necessary steps for defend¬ ing myself, nor was I at all doubtful about my ability to make a creditable resistance. I had a brace of loaded pistols and a dirk, beneath my pillow. Placing the dagger where I conld readily seize it, I cocked the pistols, aud hold one iu each hand, just un¬ derneath the bedclothes. In this position I waited the result with such calmness as I could command.
I was not kept long in suspense. Less than five minntes had elapsed, when the tread of a naked i;;^ool, but nevertheless a heavy one, resonnded npon the stairs. The room door was fastened by a wooden bolti tolerably stout. Wonld tbe midnight assas¬ sin break it open ?
He did uot When he found that it was fastened, lie fumbled aboat it for aome time, with aome sort of an instrament, trying, I suppose, to push tlie bolt back. After a pretty long trial, duiing which my feelinga were certaiuly not of a very euviablo charac¬ ter, he became satisfied, apparently, of the futility of the attempt, and gave it np.
After the dull sound of retreating footstepa had died away, a profound ailence reigned throughout tlie place. What was to come next? The murderous wretcli assuredly would not forego his horrid purpose becauz^eof snch a trifling obstacle as a woodou bolt. What} tben, was he preparing to do?
There are few sitnatiouri more trying, even to the strongest nerves, than oue like this: a terrible danger haugiug over your head, while all efforts to avert its fall are denied you.— The compulsory inaction, in such cases, ia harder to bear thau anything else.
At last, the noiseless, motionless suspense became so intolenahle, that-I re.^olved to wa¬ ken my companion, at all hazards. I had already one leg out of bed, when a sudden interruption of tho oppressive sileuce attract¬ ed mj attention. It was a noise outside, bat of what natare I conld not lor some timo de- term iiTe.
While I pat with my eyes and ears both intent upon catching something from the qaarter wheuce the sound appeared to pro¬ ceed, I 3 -w a light shining from without upon the wiudow opposite my bed, and presently a humau hand, with that terrible kuife iu it, was protruded from behiud a curtain which hung before the wiudow.
I knew there was a broken pane of glas^ behind tbe curtain. The cartaiu itself waa fastened at each of tlie four corners by bits of tape, to nails driveu in the wall. There was something almost unearthly in the look .j of that bony hand, brandishing the long glit-- tering knife, and uo visible body connected with it.
Witb just light enough thrown upon it to direct its motions, tlie armless hand plied the knife until the two lower tapes were cut, it tben proceeded to tnru the button, and carefully aud noi3eles.=3ly to opeu the sash, wbich was fixed upon hinges. "i^Km the whole arm made its appearance, then tbe rigbt shoulder, then the head, and finally the en¬ tire rawboned, long-limbed body.
Though tall aud spare, tho intruder was very muscular, and perhaps my superior in strength. My only hope was ia my weapons, or rather iu my pistols. He carried a small dark-lantern, aud suffered just light enough to escape to direct him to his object. His first act, after he'had fairly entered, was to turn the light first upon my face, and then upou that of my companion. Tbis was done with a great deal of care aud caution, and as one of us waa sleeping soundly, and tbe otber pretending to do so, his scrutiny, uo doubt, terminated in a perfectly satisfactory mau-
ehe little rabbit wonld do, but the majority voted for the "big oue," and honest Jean Louis whetted his knife, put off his sabots, \ and declared that it ahonld bleed that night. ' •I may lierelmeution that J heard Bome oneof them Say : " V*la guiestfini—nous allons man- gcr le gros lapin !" But I had often heard tbe word lapin aaed aa about synonymous withrour f lang term **cove;" aud -manger is i daily employed to convey the idea of putting au end to a thing, in any fashion. I
I have merely to add thataa it was consid¬ ered an important point not to distarb the strauger, when Jean Louis found the door bolted, aud w.ts nuable to open it, he procu¬ red a ladder aud got in at the window, taking the knife along with him merely forthe pur¬ pose of cutting the tapes of the window-cur¬ tain, and retaining it in his hand afterwards. He was so busily engaged that he saw nothing of my movement with the pistol.
I never made any allusion to my blunder, and to this day the worthy Jeau Louis has no idea that he was ever so near being food for gunpowder. My room'mate, who was a distant relative, and from a distant part of the conntry, too, was not disturbed, and the sight of the rabbit having dissipated all my jniegivioga, I waa snnn at ea.ie In the arms of Morpheus.
In the morning of coarse all became clear to me. I fouud tbat the presence of the young mau nnder the wiudow, where I sup¬ posed he had been placed as a sort of a son¬ tiuel, was altogether accidental. The unusnal soberness aud taciturnity of the old people was alao easily accoanted for. They had, ouly the day before, baried a beloved child —a lovely little girl—the hope and joy of their decliniugyears. Thia did not, however prevent them from giviug me a very good breakfaat, uor did it prevent me frnm giving them a practical illustration of my revised version of the ambiguous phrase—manger le lapin, (to oat tho rabbit.)
Why I didn't get Angelica.
With the atealthv .ttep ofa prowling tiger, the fellow approached my bedside, with t-e lantern ill one Iiand .and that fearful knife in tho other. His gazn w.as now fastened npon me, and my eyelids were tipeu ju^^t euough to enable me to see what he w.o.^ doing, with¬ out his being aw.aro ofit.
He paused. Slowly and carefully I disen gaged from the bedclothes the muzzle of my right hand pistol, and levelled it at his heart. His next step I was resolved should be his last. His right foot moved forward. I pressed my forefinger upon the tgigger, and gradaally iucreased the pressure, so aa to make the discharge of the weapon simulta¬ neous with the next forward movement. He moved—but it was to tum upou his heel and walk away towards tbe bed of my com¬ panion.
Tbe "little one" then was to be the victim, after all. Astoniahmentjoran instant almost paralysed me ; but then came the thought cau I lie quietly here while that poor feilow is murdered within a few feet of me ? Hu¬ manity forbid ! I should feel like an accom¬ plice in Ihe.crime.
Slill grasping tbe pistol, I raised myself quietly with my other arm, and beheld—tbe young peasant very quietly removing, from a little pen betweeu tbe two beds, a rabbit! There were two of them, a "big oae" aud a *'little oue," and it was the former, of course, that the "midnight assassin" was after, with the fixed resolution to out his throat that nigbt, aud have him ready for our early breakfast next morning, at all hazards.
Yes, dear reader, there was nobody in dan¬ ger of midnight assassination but the rabit. The worthy old  coaple   and   their  six   sons
I ouce fell iu love with a most charming girl. Prudence dictateth that it is best not to dis¬ close her name, so Iwill meroly designate her by the appellation of Angelica. That was not her real name, l nt she resembled au angel so closely, that the name is sn singular¬ ly appropriate. She did not have wings^ tbat I am aware of, thoughl never examined hHr personal arrangements sufficiently to be sure—-but then sho had the most gorgeous cerulean "orbs" and the most tantalizingly kissnble month, and the sweetest littla foot and she woro the prettiest of all conceivable dre.«aes, .aud the big.-est ofall inconceivable hoops, and she had the most charming way of lifting ber skirts so aa to sbow an jncbtr two of ankle, and of stooping her shoulders so that hrir dress fell and allowed a view of tbe most ravishing neck; and if all these virtues don't constitute a marvelous resemblance to athorougli bred angel,why I don't know any¬ thing abont the article.
Angelica was accomplished, too. Bhe could pitch into a seven octave piano, and make more noise ou it than Gottsohalk and Thal¬ berg pnt together. Her "Sailnur Boy" was immense, and her " Etude de Concert" was | absolutely cmsbijjg. Tlieu sho sang-oh, Lord! you ought to h.are heard her sing! My knowl- I edge of musical matters is limited; but, if I understand my freiud,"The Protem "correct¬ ly, her voice w.as a mezzo contralo, and ranged "E sharp," in alt,to " F accidental," iu major. (I may not have got the technical terms exactly correct; but donbtless, near enough for you to understand it,) Sbe conld paint in water colors, al.so. She once painted a picture forme wbich / conceived to be an excellent likeness. Some did uot think so. My friend, " the Protem, "said it looked like a map of Coney island, with a clam-scow drawu up on the beach; while auother frieud, (the Don, Vice Pres. Cabario Club,) said he was uot decided whether it was intended for a mined abbey by moonlight, or a doughnut, with a soft shell crab, walking:overit. WoU that ouly ahowed their, want of taate, and disgusting ignorace of every thing reb'ting lo art. "        . -.' M:-:'-J^-^^^-^r^:^^^
I did love. Angelica-Hieeplyj ¦ devotedly, dearly—I loved her as uo man ever yet snc¬ ceeded in loving womau.   I venture unhluah- iugly to assert that Abelard'a love for Eloise was as a sick chicken to a pateut self-cocking hydraulic ram, wheu compared with mine— that Homeo was cool, Leander indifferent, and Faust decidedly unfriendly.   Nay, more, that the immortal ViUikena himself never loved his Diua as I loved Angelica.   And yot, hear it, ye Gods! she loved not me—no, nary love. Oh! listen, all ye unauspecting and trusting youths, who pin your faith upon woman !— Listen, .all ye confiding, but fearfully bam- boozled loveis,  who trust iu the words of females!    I cau tell you a tale of woman's treachery that will cause your bones to cor¬ rode, aud groans of miugled horror and detes¬ tation to issue from your parched epiglottis I For four  mouths  sho allowed me to  visit her, aud encouraged ine in ray wooing.   She accepted presents from me.    I entertain vivid and   melancholy recollection   of  a   certain golden locket whioh I gave her.    It cost ma —well uever mind what it cost-it was a fabulous sum, bat let it go.    Then there is a vision  of a magnificent ring that I gave her, whicb haunts my wakiug thoaghts con- I tinually, for its procurement necesaitatKd au outlay of a ruinous amouut of ready  cash, andyouknowjbook-keepers are not generally burdened with au alarming superfluity of tin.   Aud there was  a fan—a perfect gem of a fan—with a beautiful picture ou  it, repre¬ senting a blue haired gentleman *.alking to a yellow-ochre colored damsel with green arms and speckled hands, aud two aky blue sheep with lilac horns, eating sepia-grass.   This fan had also a pearl bandle, and a border of some stuff like that which thay powder babies with.   Oh 1 I remember that fan—never for¬ get it as loi'g as I live ; it was the last thing I gave Angelica.
Now I'll tell yon how I learned that my love was not returned. I went aroundtoher house one uight, aud thore beheld a young mau paying attention to her,*sittini; by hi^r side ou tbe sofa, aud seemingly in very good terms with her. At my entrance thoy appeared a little confused, and the deepest deadliest \ jealousy arose iu my heart. I loj.ked at that young raan with a look that would have shivered a glass bottle at forty roJa. It did not seem to have much effect on bim, bow- ever. Theu X devised several mild methods of punishing him, such as twistiug his ears off aud making bim swallow tbem; pulling his toes off with a pair of pincers ; smashing him into imfiuitesimal fragments, with a big rock, aud feeding dncka with hLti bleeding re¬ mains. I did uot havo a favorable opportu¬ nity of putting any of these delicate iuten¬ tions into operation, or it assuredly would uot have gone well with that ridiculous young man.

The Akt of Conveiisation.—" There is one ' defect in American education, or rather in , American oharacter, and that is, our young people do not l«arn to conver.'^e well. They think—thoy act—when roused they are olo- qaeut—bat they eeldom couverae well. Tt:e i boy is taught to declaim—to store hia mind with those ideaa that will instruct and even move the multitude—but very rarely to con- verae with eaae and elegance. Tha girl is disciplined to sing, and play, aud dance aud sit gracefully. Sho ia eveu prepared for those womanly duties ahe must perform in after life—duties of the nursery and the household. Her moral.powers are cultivated likewise in this country, eo that she becomes a uaefnl, benevolent, amiable being. But she ia not taught to converse.
" She ean talk enongh," says the crusty old bachelor, "pray do not teach her to any greater degree, the use of hertongue." Talk ing is not coDversiag—There is no deficiency in the former with our girls. To talk, aud to talk well, are very different. The latter re¬ quires ease, tact, self-confidence, good sense, a well condacted education, a desire to please, aud an amiable temper.
"In neither Pax shonld conversiatiou be high flown, declamatory, or above the hear¬ ers. The voice should be modulated to the aubject and never raiaed to an oratorical pitch. The atyle nhonJd be easy, natural, playful, if the occasion require it, with no strained aud farfetched attempts at wit and glitter.
" There are occasions wheu the very es¬ sence of entertaining aud successful conver¬ sation consists in beiug a good I'isteuer, aud in drawing out others upon those topics aboat wbich yoa kuow they can furnish in¬ formation. We have aaid hefore that the great aecret of pleasing consists in making others pleased with themselves. It is so in conversation. To be a good listener ia one of the secrets of a conversational power. It is aaid that Daniel Webster remarked tbat he never was iu any sensible man's company a quarter of au hour but what he learnt some- ! thing. He bad the tact of drawing them ont on aubjects with which they were familiar, and iu tbis way gained iuformation himself, and made others pleaaed with him.
"When the girls thiuk too much of their beauty, they are very apt to forget that the powers of conversatiou are needed to please. Beauty may strike a sovere blow on the heart, but it requirea conversational powers to fol low up tbe blow aud render it effective. A plain woman who converses well will soou cause tbe want of be;:uty to bo forgotteu by her powers of entertainment. Madame De Stael Holstoin was au exceedingly plaiu wo¬ man, but such were her conversational tal¬ ents, that Byron declared she cnnld talk dowu her face iu a quarter of au hour, and be felt to bo positively beautiful.
"But the question occurs, how can this power be acquired ? It needs some native confidence and much good judgment to lay the foundation for it. Instructor.-? can create it, by always requiring their pupils to give the ideas of their lessons in their'own lau¬ guage, and uot in the words of the text book. Parents, too, can early begin to encourage their children to converse on sensible topics, hv calling out their opinions. All should learu to converse."
It was said of our last Iustitute, by oue who wa.-^ tno wise for instruction, that it was a Kraiid disjday ofthe ignorance of TeacliMrs, T'> know a disease is half of its cnre. Some are ^o cancerous that they will not submit to examination or the probo. Let us not aot foolishly. We should be glad to receive sug- ge.'itions from any one in reference to tbe management and detail of the convention. It is contemplated to continue the class exer¬ cises of laat year—on a somewhat modified plan. It is desirable to have as many as possible participate In the active duties of tbu Iustitute. The "class drill" is not meant to be a "pouring in" but a "drawing out pro¬ cess," and the more of the practical experi¬ ence we can get from the masses the better.
Punctuality is a jewel. Il would rejoice me to nee all our teachers preseut the first day. Some wait a day'or two to let the meetiug- get warm and' come inthe latter part ofthe week. The reault is they are out of sympathy all the time and never catch up. The most important instructions are commenced at once. I hava frequently been asked, shall we attend the first or last three days. We always say the firat—for the gre.at probabili¬ ty is that if they come inthe beginning they cannot leave till the end. The interest be¬ comes absorbing, and nothing hut the claims ofa family or a mistaken economy will draw them away.
There ia one point more to which we will allude. Come with a determiuatiou to learn, to make othflrs wiser and to grow wiseryour- self. Come to help and be helped, and'tbere is DO dauger as to the result either iu your case or collectively. I regret to s.ay that the conduct of a few last year was censurable. Thoy aeemed to have little iutere.st iu the meetings, except about tbe time of roll- calling. Business on the streets—and it ro.ay be places leas ropntable—eugaged their atieu¬ tion. A similar course of conduct will uot escape rebuke auother time, 'We ar« glad to say this number was very small—it ought to ce.a9e among teachers and we mean it shall. .TNO. S. CRUMBAUGH.

Sketches from my Nota Boolt—U'c. XIII.
Well, there wo sat for aome time, hardly I saying a word. Thtjn I got mad and jumped up, said I—suppoae I waa uot wjiiited  there i
Ikstitdtes.—The great characteristic of our age is associated effort. Having this as its motive power, and Onitiurd tor its watchword, tho prni;re.=!d of hnmauity has been vastly accelerated. The greate.st achiHveiueut of modern times in religion, science and me. ^ chauical arts owe their existence to man aisociated rather than to man alone. Advan¬ tage has been taken of this power in all directions. Associations have become ahnoet as numerous as individuals, and influences are thus exerted iCu'l works accomplished which no individualism could ever perforto. ¦'.': Teachew as wnU as othurs have tried its efficacy, and generally with the raoat satis¬ factory rtjsults. After ."leveral yeara of ex¬ perimenting in this county its policy seems to have become settled. The District Asaoci - ation ia the firat Hnkiu the chain—the Connty. Institute the second—tbe Normal School the third. The one prepares the way for tbe otber and each one has its office to perform with a parlicnlar class. We canuot do wiibout either of <bem. At first r<'garded as luxnr.eSjthey have nnw become necessaries of Common-School life. Wer-* this county not so large aud my labors so engrossing dnring the fall and wiuter montba, I would add annther form of associations, properly dpf^ic^uated'Local Institution.'!.
There can be no doubt of the happy effeot which would follow a few of tfaese InstUttteS held in dilferent parta of thecounty, aud my only reason for not making uae of them more extensively is want of time. Mnch might be aaid about each of tbese forms of effort for mutual improvement. We shall not argue their ben«fit:i nor make a defence for their imperfections. Onr object is simply to call the attetition of teachers to a few pointa of practical importance. We contemplate hold¬ ing a County Institute agaiu this year, about tbe heginuing of December, and we shonld be glad to see every teaoher in the county present. Laat year we bad the largeat Insti¬ tute ever bold in the State, but I am sure we can do betier tbis year if we try. Many young teachers have been employed this year for whom it is donbly necessary to he in attendance this fall.
The old teachers we need not nrge lo come. The paat has shown them tbat they canuot do withont such aid. Some years ago many teachers made tbeir coming conditioned on Directora granting tbe time, and some last year staid away becauae the time was not thna given. Teacbera should be considerate and moderate in their demanda. SomH of the districts have generoua aud liberal Di.ectors and appreciating patrona ; other are not ao fortunate. A year ago we made a general effort to abolish Saturday schools and suc¬ ceeded iu most of the districts witliout mnch difficulty, Thia was equivalent to abating from the school term from 12 to IS days, ac¬ cording tothe number of>montbs taught.— ' To grant 6 days additional for the County Institute was more than they felt justified in : doing. In districts that have faithful teach¬ ers aud pay low salaries it is no more than jnst to grant the time, for there are compro¬ mises on both sides; but where the Teacher is fairly remunerated, he onght to begin to lean on himself—and take measures for self- improvement at his own expense. We hope uo motive, sucb as saving a few dollars, will deter any from coming up tbis year. Last year we were told in one district the Directora voted the tim>^, but the Teachers refnsed to receive it, aud nobly said " we will go on our own time."
A few staid away from tbe laat Infltitnte* because as they said, tbeir patrona would not let them come.   A lamer excuse could not
Rat Tales.—Quite lately in Paria, a speci¬ men was given ofthe force in which rats can mnHter, wbere they have gained ouly a pro¬ visional footing. The Historical Halles, -. or marketa, having been relmilt and re-.arraiiged on a-more commodious plau, the 2(Jth of Oo¬ tober last was flxed for tlie moving of tbe dealers in flonr-stnffs, green vegetables, poul¬ try and potatoea, from tbe ground they havo occupied near the church of St. Eustache, to tbeir new stalls and shops iu the Hatles Cen¬ trales. After the departure of the human tenants of thy old provisional market, the AgtiCUltUral and Mecliailical SOClcty. workmen'jproceed.'d to pull down the sheds. Beueath theae sheds a colony of rata had I fixed their domicile for some time past. A regiment of boya, armed with sticks, aird backed by all the doga of the quarter, nmster- ed in a pack, awaiting the unearthing of the game from their cover. A crowd of spectators mado tbe lofty buildinga round re-eobo with their ahouta and tbt;ir "bursts of hinuiiter. Several rats ahiruifd'al. the disturbam:*! aud tbe barkiug of tbe dOtjs, climbed up tlie per- eons of tbe lookers on, to find a refug*' ou their alioulders or their heads:
Oue girl ft^eliug a at takiuij a walkarotind herneck, waa ao overcouie with terror that she fainted. Ooe thousand is the estimated num¬ ber of rats who fell victim to tbis inhospita¬ ble reception ; but it may be presnmed  that thoae who saved their bacon were in consid¬ erable majority.   This is nothing to  what occurs at Montevideo  (unless it is greatly changed from wbat it was,) where the  only drawback upon the delightful way in which an evening may bo spent isithe neoes.-'ity   of returning home throngh long narrow atreeta, so infested with voracioua rats aa sometimea to make the  way perilous.    There are  no aanitary regulations in the town, except those provided by tbe showers of rain, which  at intervals carry offthe heaps of filth from loug I esta'dished   resting places.     Around   large mountains of carrion, vegetables and atale- fruit, here accumulated, rats mn.sier in le~ giona.    If yon attempt tu pass near tbeae formidable   banditti,   or to inlerrupt their orgiea, they will guaah their tenth at you
fiercely, like ao many wolves. f5u far ave Ihoy from rnnning off in affright
to their burrows that tbey will tnru round,
fiet up au ominous cry, and will then make a
rush at your lega iu a way to make your hair
stand ou end.   Between them and the!] ven¬ turesome atranger many a hazardous  affray

talent, he conceived the idea of raising  rats
