Jim listened down"! t the village, and, without seeing the roos ter paid two and a half dollars for him, and obtained permission to go to the coop and fake his property.

Punishment tljan that cf sending the guilty one to bed supierless, or depriving him or her tlie privjlogj of tho recess. Then there could be no wonder in our imposing upon such good nature but for my adventure : There was only a door (that, of course, locked) that separated tho demitory of the boys and giib; but the kind builder had not omitted to place a ventilator over the door, and aa luck would have it, the good mistress had covered yt with a baise green curtain upon our side. 'After enjoying a fine dance upon, the green, and that, too, under the prettiest moonlight that ever shone, we were assembled in the chapel to prayer, and then sent to our separate dormitories the girls, some fifteen in number, taking one flight of stairs, while we eighteen or twenty of the greatest scamps alive, took the opposite flight our master and mistress returning to their own room. A few moments found all in led, and strange to say, perfectly quiet. We had lain so but a short time, whenTwe heard a sudden crca, like a bedstead put in violent agitation, and this was followed by a suppressed, but general titter. ' 1" SJb' koys, tbcre'd fun among the gals,' I exclaimed, 'and here's what's going p) have a peep at 'cm.' In a moment every bed showed a figure. I bounded out, and running softly to the keyhole but the fallen angels had stuffed it with a rag, aud that was no go. '.Never mjud boys; easy now, and 111 yv-i 1L a sight.' ! I 0' drew a table and placed it against and with the greatest difhculty stool a chair upon it for the table bcin small, the chair made almost too great a stride for it. However I mounted, and raising one corner of the curtain, the whole scene was visible to me. The girls had placed two beds some six or eight feet apart, and laid a feather bed on the floor between them, and they were tl bed to the other. There was one fat girl, about as broad as she was long and in no way calculated for physical exertions j but she had got upon the bed, and stood swinging her arms to 1 and fro, making every indication for a des Jenite jump, jjy tuis time 1 was out on the floor, and my place at the curtain sup- pnea uy anoiuer sprig 01 miscuiei. lie 1-11 ii i r it : leaned down and whispered the fat gin g:l was going to ju;iip. , 4 Oh, golly . saidrh., 'if baa only faOs, won't she roll oyer nice V j I wa-; determined to sec this ; and clinib- V)S UP '?raiii we-both occupied the ' tottering , P:do.' V.'ith one hand over our mouths, and pinehing our noses, to prevent a burst of laughter, we stood breath! ess; awaiting tnc ! awful calamity. j ' I hero she goes, by jingo ! I exclaimed. ! She did at do it, though for her feet just all came together, with a crash like a young peal of thunder. ' To bed to bed, boys,' said I, ' and leave the rest to me.' In an instant all 'was quiet; every body in bed and sound asleep, with the exception of myself, ph ! such attempts to snore as might have been then heard but we were all used to playing the 'possum, and I now concluded to give the approaching tutor and wife a sample of somnambulism. ' Now don't laugh for the world boys, and see me do the thing.' I raised the table on its legs, and getting on it, was concluding my speech that I had written aud committed to meuiory for the day and here the trainers of the young ideas entered but still I continued ' Friends and fellow students : Overwhelm ed, as I am, with gratitude for your kind attention, I cannot refrain from expressing thanks, yes warm and heartfelt thanks ; and to you, dear sir, (this of courso meant the tutor, and at this point my vacant staring eyes were upon him,) will my heart ever yearn. I look upon this, moment of my NUiMBER 43. life with a pride that swells my young bo som almost to bursting; and when manhood j" sLall close my youthful career, and my coun try shall call me to her halls ot legislation, there will I exercise every truth and virtue instilled into my heart by your kind and fxthprlv tntnrmrr. Thesa bovish tears of iov will yt't swell to a.gushing stream of ambi- tious glory and then will I look back to (hn'.i.., i i a- i.mvnnnvt ."n mv cfr that made m? what I am. ' Bravo ! bravo ! my boy,' they both ex claimed. I got off the table now, seeing I had the game in my own hands, and walking slowly up to the window, gave myself up to deep sobbings and really appeared much affectjd. The tutor approached me and called me softly by name, but I answered him not ; and turning slowly from him, I walked to the other side of the room, avoiding the . rays of the lair.p which the mistress was directing dpon me. ' lie is asleep, my dear,' exclaimed the tutor, 'and it must have been the dragging l ... '11 Ll I.. " , V ..V.lL.ilf. . . ' ... 1 l- . T. , (VU, of the table over the1 floor-that made such a rumbling noise. Give me the lamp, and go brins me a basin of water I will effect a lasting cure upon our young somnambulist.' I heard many suppressed titters, and could see sundry comers of sheets going into sun dry, mouths. This nearly destroyed my equilibrium ; but I mastered myself, and again went to tho window, though the men tion of the basin of water caused a momenta ry shudder to shoot through my whole frame. The good dame returned with what I mag nified into an uncommonly largo vessel of water but it was no delusion -for in her baste she brought the ' filterer and I knew certainly it was a cold ducking I was to have. Could I escape it ? I would try. I walk ed first to one bed, then to another the tu tor following with the filterer, his wife play ing ' torch-bearer,' while the heavy breath ing of the 'possuming sleepers added to the solemnity of the scene. I still walked on, turning away every time he proposed to douse inc. They had completely cut off the retreat to my own bed, and I saw at once I should have to take it. I walked boldly out and placing myself be fore, him, he upset the contents of the jug upon me. I gasped, caught my breath, tottered, and played the frightened boy so well, the de ception was complete. . I heard a .merry laugh in tho next room my schoolmates on their beds rubbing their eyes and enqui ring the matter. POPPING THE QUESTION. There isnothiegmorc appaling to a modest and sensitive young man than asking the girl he loves to marry him, and there are few who do not find their moral courage tasked to the utmost. Many men w?ho would lead a forlorn hope, mount a breach, and "seek the bubble re putation even at the cannon's jinputh,;? trembles at the idea of. asking a"woman the question wbich fstd decide his fate. Ladies may congratulate themselvss that nature and custom have made them the responding par ty: ' . . In a matter which men have always found so terrible, yet which, in one way or other, they have always contrived in some awkward way to accomplish, it is not eay to give in structions suitable to every emergency. A man naturally conforms to tire disposi tion of the woman die admires. If she be serious, ho will approach the awful subject with due solemnity if gay and lively, he will make it an excellent joke if. softly sciiiiuifuiiu, i.e must woo nei in a strain 01 high-wrought romance, and if severel- prac tical, he relies upon straight-forward com mon sense. There is one maxim of universal applica tion. Never lose an opportunity. What can a woman think of a lover who neglects one ? Woman cannot make directadvanccs, but they use infinite tact in giving men oc . .a t, 1 . t i? casions to make them. In fair to presume that when a man an opportunity, sae expects 1 . 1 . ed the fearful task accomplished. In the country the lover takes a romantic walk by moonlight, with the lady of his love talks of the beauties of the scenery, the harmony of nature, and exclaims "Oh Julia, how happy would existence prove, if I always had such a companion." ' She sighs and leans more fondly on the arm that tremblingly supports her. " My dearest J ulia be mine forever." This is a settler, and the answer, ever so audible, makes aor undoes him quite. " Take pity on a forlorn bachelor," says another, in a manner which may be either jest or earnest " Marry me at once and put me out of my misery." With all iny heart,' whentevcr you are rea dy," replies the laughing fair. A joke car ried thus far is easily made earnest. .-. A point is often carried by taking a thing for granted. A gentleman who has been paying attention to a lady says " Well, Mary, when is the happy day?'r " WhatV dayj'pray ?' she aski with a con scious blush. ' .

' ' . The Immediate Admission op'oNfiiW Mexico and California. We are glad to see our old ally, the Palmetto Bann ;r, denouncing the insidious movement rid purpose of the Whigs to admit New Mexico and California at once into the United Stat ;s. The object of this extraordinary proposition is, as we have hitherto maintained, to enable the Administration to dodge the Willi ot Proviso question, and to save the Whig pir ty from splitting. Their plan is to hring New Mexico and California into- the Union, with Constitutions made by Mexicans, Indi ans, Foreigners and Northern Abolitionists, excluding slaveholders from carrying their property into the country, without waiting the usual period and the usual -coursoof events. . All other Territories have firet had Territorial Governments established by Congress, and after the lapse of sufficient time for the accumulation of a respectable white population from the old States, out numbering the Indians and Foreigners, then, and not till then, have they been admitted as States. This was the ease with the Ter ritories formed out of the Louisiana Teritory, witlv Florida, (Texas was governed, when -Admitted, by white men from the old States in fact with 'all' the seventeen 'States whitoh have been added to the orignal thirteen. J The sole object of the Whigs in proposifng the extraordinary- plan of admittinir Nbw 'Mexico and California, with constitutions formed by a population incongruous in-fits materials, foreign in its ori'gn, and a majori ty of it actually hostile to the old Statics, and especially to the Southern States,-is to enable -Southern Whig politicians to con tinue their fellowship" and association . wth Northern Wilmot Proviso men and Aboli tionists, as well as to save Gen. Taylor frbm being put to the test of vetoing or approving the Proviso. Either course, on hii parti it is, seen, would be fatal to Whiggery. ,j If Southern men of any party, Whigs or De mocrats, approve the immediate admission of New Mexico and California States, j we cannot but regard it as cowardly, if noi a most corrupt surrender of Southern right and interests to Northern influence. The Whig politicians have always, on etjuy question, as far. as they dared, or could chjeat the people of the South into approving surrendered to the North. Except in ihe case of Benton, among the Democrats, iwe hope better tilings. ! . ' j It is very reasonable to calculate that California, if let alone and not hurried ijito , a State before she is in a, state fit to -be od-. mitted into the old partnership, may beconi3 a slaveholding countfy. The Cotton, Sugar and G old mining, would create a demand for negroes. This the Northern Abolition&te, . doubtless think probable, and hence they want to make California a State forthwith, New Mexieo and California as a State next session of Congress ! If the mass of ttho people,, whose interests are solely in vollved in the protection of, their rights, honor iand prosperity, and not in office seeking, jaro properly enlightened, they will not susjtain any set of leaders whose object is the spoils, in such a shameful surrender to Free' Soil ism. The South should look to ify and ve ry independent press should soiind'the alarm. Greenville Mountaineer. Da. James B. McMullin.
