MISCELLANEOUS." From the Quaker City. Blggw, thr iJ'.r'Ycrk feet,- BV GKOlWK LIl'l'AKD. It is the fate of genius to be persecuted. This iB a dark ami bitter IrulTi, No m-.ii cvor felt this trntlj more deeply cud bitterly than Ai';vs'its Digues, us returning from a party in (irand Street., the other night, lie paused fur a moment on a friendly curbstone, and contemplated the star. Gusty Digges sat on" the curb, and piilicd his Harrow rimmed hat down to the very tip of bis turncd-up nase, aR;! smothed hia lank, towish hair down to his very shoulders. (lusty Digges had been to a party that very Yiiol.t. , He had been'iduli.ed by the young ladies. St Us Skcggs, Jliss liriggs, and Miss PilVkins had all been in rapture with Gutty's poetry. "Didn't they rend my lines to a Daisy ?" mut tered Ditrges, 'them very lines as has set hall' the women in New -York and the adjacent villages crazy alter 'me after ,1-es'" . Daisy, beautiful Daisy, . ; Itinrmiing so stvoel when summer here Where do you go when the winter is near? Say, Daisy, beautiful Daisy, Dehc.ite Dais, with your much meek little eye, When the snow comes huher where do you ny ; Siy Daisy, delicate Daisy .' ". Them's my lines ! They beat any. amount of Lowell's' or LungfellcW all to pieces ! And didn't the galls admire them? . But that cussed Brown ugh! Oh Fate I Fate !'..' Digges buried his face in his hn.'nds, and his ryes watered. 'Brownfwn., Wasn't that name a cuss to me from childhood ? Why should I take a room with sich a feller at Mrs. Ilotch's Buardin' House ? Why go to a party with him ? Hasn't the name of Brown been fatal to me from werry infancy t It was a man by the name or Brown that spanked me when I was a little sha ver. Brown was tha name of the schoolmaster that used to lather me till my back was all figures ind poetry. The man who told my daddy that I'd been out a robbiti' orchards was named Brown ! And now I take a room with a Brown ! If I airit cussed by, fate I should like to know who was?" " That at the party to-night, I riz up to give " daisy, dear delicate daisy, the proper emphasis, vhen I could do my teeth up in a case and sell 'em 1 live and kickin' to some dentist, when I think 0f it when somebody pulls my chair from under me,! make a go to sit down, and I lands on the ' . t- , . 1.-.! .

That somebody was Brown I I'll liave wengeancc or cease to exU ! , With this desperate intention, Digges started up, and rushed homeward. On his way thither he re- itmmlipreil two or three important facts. Brown and Digges roomed together this was one- Brown had had full time to go home from the par ty, go to bed, and go to sleep this wa3 another. Brown kept a dog, which slept every night in Brown and Digges' room this was the most im portant fact of all. This dog was a fine large specimen of the New foundland breed, and very faithful and attached to Brown. Ho was called by the euphonious name r II IT- .r.i:..ukn.l 1... Ana imnn.

It mat tered not how soundly he mibht be sleeping in Brown's room, let the cry of ' Fire ! Fire 1 J' once otind in his cars, and in an instant he was off. He would spring toward the door, and bark and yell and scratch, until the door was opened, and the way to the .-t evtm-.de clear. These interesting facts Augustus Digges re membered well as he hurried home. He smiled bitterly as he inserted his night-key into Mrs. Ilotch's door ; he chuckled fiendishly as he rushed up the dark stairs ; he muttered a wild imprecation as he stood before the door ef his room. 'Now let every individual by the name of ' Brown, be keerful how he pulls away the chair from under a Digges !' . He opened the door all was dark aul silent, ex cept a snore proceeding from a corner of tho room, and the gleam of two light eyes flashing from ano ther. The snore was Browu's the eyes belong , ... .i j , eu to mo uojj. 'Here. Curuel, Curnel !' whispered Digges, .. couxingly. 'Here, doggy, purty doggy. The Curnel growled.) Now don't be sassy Curnel, (laying his hand on the Curnevs head,) don t be sassy ! It's only your Diggos you love Digges, don't vou I' Then approaching the Curnel, he coaxed and wheedled the dog into perfect good humor. His plans were almost matured. He remembered that in the drawer of a small bureau, in a dark corner of the room was concealed a piece of thick sub stantial rope. Could he but obtain that rope with out awakening Brown or enraging the dog, all were safe. Treading carefully over the room, he obtained the rope, and then retraced his steps. Brown wa snorinc awfully. Little did he dream of the fate in store for him. ' Lirtinc the bed clothes, Digges chuckled wildly . as he fell for the leg of the sleeping Brown. In - a moment it was discovered. Looping the rope aTotrad the left leg, Digges tied one end of it in ' firm knot, and then coaxed the Curnel to the bed- . side. . 'Come here, Curnel, come here!' wkiapered the revengeful Digges. Utterly unconscious of ..:t rv..nl ,nnr.vnlpi! tlip hpdsid. n nd exhib - ' CVll, IIIC Vui-iw , - Red his delight by fprnging into an erect posture with forefeet on the quilt. t With thut silent malice wUcb, ever accompan ics a deep and desperate revenge, Digges attached the other end of the ropo to tlie collar ot uieuog. with' a firm and decided knot. There was but tliree ICUl Ol nipe utiwvtu hio wiwi wi uiv wv uu " the leg of Brown. ' Now, Mister Brown, you'll pull the chair away from under a Digges, will ynu t Ha Ha ! Demon of the name of Brown, I have you in my povvet ! ' Retreating to a distant corner of tin room he It tened a moment as if to discover that Brown wa still unconscious and asleep. And then raising hi voice, lif exclaimed Now, Curnel, go U! Fire ! jfr ' Ai Uii ou known oouad, the dog sprang to ward the duor. In springing he dragged the left leg with him the sleeping Brown awoke. ' What's this ?' he exclaimed faintly. ' Who's a pulliu' me ?' 1 Fire f .Fire ! screamed Digges. 'Bow wough-wough !' yelled the dog.' making towards the 'door, and dragging Brown with him, by the left leg. ' Fi-er !' yelled Digges. ' Oh, lord, my bones !' screamed Brown. 'Who the devil is a draggin mo over cheers and wash bowls at this rate ! Stop ! I aint the man what ho p n '.' 'i'i-cr .'' again yelled Digges. Again the dug bounded forward, pulling the doomed Brown after him. Brown kicked, and twisted, and made sly blows at his left leg, but without effect. As he learned forward, endeavor ing too loosen the knot from his left leg, awny from under him his left leg would go and again he felt himself hit in every part of hishxly, by invisi ble tables, chair-, and washbowls. ' If I only could git up if I could only git up !' muttered Brown ' would'nt I give it to yon my pre cious dog? would'ut I ?'' ' Fi-.'c .'

' Oh, its you my poet, is it ?' shrieked Brown as the dog bounded across the room, dragging the left leg after hi:;l. ' ':. . 'It's me! It's Digges! know me Brown. You pulled the cheer from under a Digges and made a Digges redikulus. Behold the revenge of Digges. Fi-er! And as ho: changed his position, the dog came bounding after him, dragging that fatal left leg by the collar. . Brown felt that he was in the power of Digges; he pitcously whined for tncrey. Still Digges cried Ft-erV Still the dog rushed forward at the sound. Brawn cursed his existence. :.Fi-r! hi vain was his cursing. His left leg followed the dog, and Ills body, as must be evident to the most prejudiced mind, followed his leg. ' Oil, my poet oh, oh, 0!' 'Fi-er! Fi-er!' '-""';'; V "v. 'Bow wow wough!' At this moment the doer was flung open a light flashed around. The landlady ill her night clothes, stood revealed. : 'Who is that kickin' up this muss 1 Who is it that's a cryin' fire in my house '?' The landlady Was red in the face with rage. 'Oh oh my bones! oh, fio, Missus Ilotch!' whined Brown. . . Digges looked around hi. triumph. : 'He pulled the cheer from under a Digges, and made a Digges read his poetry redikulus Ueliold the revenge of a Digges!' As he said this, he sprung to the door, crying 'Fire ! Fire !' The dog sprang after him. The catastrophe was terrific. The foiir-and -twenty boarders lay scattered in all directions with the landlady on the top. The dog went yelling down the stairs, and the left leg went after hitr..' We draw a veil over the scene. ' How old are you, fellow V continued the judge, 1 nervously, ' Boss carpenter,' ' What the d l's the matter with your ears ?' 'Dr. Scarpie's oil, Boinctiuies.' 'What, sir?'

In days gone by, when objectionable militia laws were in force in old Massachusetts, tke customary draft was made in a country town a few miles from Boston, and a notice to " appear, armed and equip ped according to law," was left at the boarding house of a wag, who possessed very little martial mueic " in his soul. Determined that he would neither "train " nor pay a fine, and entertaining, withal a very indifferent opinion of the system, he took no notice of the summons. Having been duly "warned," however, as he anticipated, at the expiration cf a few weeks the sergeant waited upon him w ith a bill of nine shil- ings, for non-attendance at the muster. " You're fined, sir nine shillings non-appear ance. ; " What is it ?" said the wag.pretending to mis understand the collector. . ' Fine for not training,' bawled the other. ' Shan't pay it, fellow.' It will be three dullars next time I call.' But the wag could'nt hear a word he said, and in the course of another month he received a per emptory summons to appear forthwith at a court martial in '.he district, instituted for the purpose of trying delinquents and collecting such fines as could be scared out of the non-performers of duty. Having fixed upon a final plan to dodge the issue, at tho appointed hour he waited upon tlie court to show cause, tf any he had, why he should'nt wil lingly have toted a musket, and knapsack, about the town, for twelve mortal hours, and otherwise perform the legal ahnml duties of a live patriot !' lie was ushered into the court-room immediate lywhich was held in an old country house where he discovered some three or four persons seated, attired in flashy regimentals, and whose awful, 'yaller' epoletts, alone, were sufficient to command the aUcntiou and respect of tlie profouD dest beholder. Though somewhat disconcerted at this rather unexpected exhibition of spurt and but tons, he put a bold face on the matter, and respon ding to the directions of tlie junior member of the august court, ho advanced to the table, and the chief functionary commenced the examination. ' Your name, sir V Tlie offender placed his hand quickly to the side of his head, ithout uttering a word, or moving a muscle in his face. What is your name V repcatci tlie questioner, in a loud tone. ' A little louder,' said tlie wag, without replying. ' Name !' shouted the judge. Taunton, Bristol County.' What business do you follow ?' . 'Main street,' said the delinquent. ' Your business V yelled the officer. Right hand side as you go up.' How long have you been there ?' ' About two miles and a halt.' ' DIRECT FROM CALIFORNIA The arrival of Mr. Atherton in New York, direct from San Francisco, which place lie left on the 10th of December, not only gives the latest but the most reliable information from the Gold Regions. He says that the Cold regions are now' understood to embrace' Territory, of oiie; thousand miles in length, and threo hundred in : width ; that in some ; pal IS U1C viuiU la vi U! .vasiug 1 11,11111 3, , ini win- i er parts are .ccmpara.iiv.ely barren ; that there an? no limits to the number of men who may find em ployment in digging ; that there is plenty of ore for all. But Mr. Atherton says it requires the hardest kind of lahor; the severest toil, and the "stroiige.-t constitution to be successful. No yrimig drawing-room men, lawyers or mer chants, with slender persons and delicate habits, cau succeed ; it is onlj those who can handle a plough, an axe and sho-el, and who have been ac customed to work, vvlic can hope to find Gold in any dcsirublc quantity. It only yields to strength and skill.! He knew one company, well prepared, who cam from the mines, after working very hard, withoutftny gold. A man of the right stamp may, with hard work, obtain tho ounces of Gold per day, on an average. Mr Atherton has seen one lump weighing seven poinds, and a friend has seen another weighing twmty.one pounds. The number of men at the minei, when he left, was 10, 000, but only 2,500 diggint A number of unre liable Indians wore employe, A blacksmith ob tained about $1 0,000 worthof tlie ore.

JPKSCUD.- Apothecary and Druggist. ren a.i. la Mostc w Germany. The cutureof music in Germany is astonishing; even diwn in the most insignificant ciof i'y-schools, tht art is publicly taught; no schoolmaster is a'.lowil to exercise his profession unless he is capable of teaching at least the elements of music and soma instruments. In the principal towns there are pubic and special schools.whero any one is adiinttel uncondiiiin.il and where all the parts of composition are taught. Besides this, the means of ordinary education, be ing very numerous and easily attained by every class, the artisan, and even a man of the lowest in socie'y, if he docs not require the assistance of his son's industry to attain a livelihood, may give a good education free of all expences. From these united causes it results, that in general the musi cians of Germany are numerous and Ki ll-informed. Their methods of instructions are noreever the same as in Italy, with some modification; they tend directly to the point. Such, in few words is the history and present stats of music in Germany, which country, as has been seen, possesses in full sh.-r.' of merit. THE WIFE'S FRIEND.

TF.Mifficicntly supported, the subscriber intends to -- publish a monthly paper of eight pages, for tho purposo uf diffusing information on the subject of " education with the especial view of improving tlie character of our Common Schools. It is intended to Dive an account, drawn from the public documents and other sources, of the or igin ana progress ol our Lommon School system, to compare it with that of other States here and iu Europe, thus noting our improvement over for-, mer years and suggesting tlie means of overcom ing tnc delects and tlilhculties under which we still labor. This will lead us to Investigate the sources from which school funds are derived, the modes of their application, the preservation of order in schools, the election of proper books for study, the iwivauun suiiauie lor me pupils, the treatment fe cessary for different dispositions, &.c. Ana Doiicving tliat the State which would im prove its schools must first improve its teachers, a portion of onr columns will be devoted to the qnes. lions How are our schools lobe supplied with competent teachers J How is the standard of ed ucation to be raised, and the services of a band secured who are well qualified to go forth and iu . me spirit ot love, labor tor the advancement of tho children who are placed under their charge ? But Education is a word of verv extensive niean- ing.and although the primary object of tlie publi cation may frequently take us into the school room, we do not intend to be always confined there. Our subject matter is the human mind and the in fluences good and bad, with a view of preventing the one and strengthening the other which can bebrouglitlooperaieuponit. That this is a theme of the deepest moment none can deny. It grasps the in terests not of this wsrld only it reaches through eternity.
