unable to Jevehi' ej, suffering the moat excrucia

Which he has now more ihao twenty-five preserved

MISCELLANY.
A MALE AXV FEMALE ACADEMY TALE.
Toe Knickerbocker Magazine tor
September has ihe following, relating
now a nroiessor was soia. A. correron-
dent relates how at a Male and Fe
male Academy" sundry couples had
broken Ihe rules which prohibited the
caged birds lo associate.
And at length it had come to the ears
of the faculty thai such was the case,
and that on sundry occasions pairs, male
and female, had been observed lo enter
the front gate of the yard from - tha vil
lage street at unseemly hours of the
night, in direct contra version of the stat
us in such case "made and provided.
This was a breach of dissipline noi to be
tolerated by no manner of means, 'and
as a remedy, it was proposed in a solemn
convocation of the powers that were,
that one of their number, whose room
was conveniently, situated for the pur
pose, should keep careful "watch and
ward, and that when .he should see a
guilty pair approaching from their noc
turnal violation of the, law, ho should
stealthily - creep out, pouuee . upon them
and having caught them in flagrant
delicto, ' they should, before the assem
eled school, be made to tcel the terror of
the law. ' , '. ; .
This scheme soon became known to
some oi the sinners and , no sooner
.known than a counterplot was hatched.
It was determined that one of the boys
should array himself in the dref s of a lady
ta so much of a ladiessdres as he could
get, and he knew how to get on ; that
another-young gentleman should acrom-
pauy this counterfeit young lady upon an
evening , walk, and that when they re
turned they should take good care to be
seen by the official spy.
- .To obtain the necessary material?,
for a disguise a descent was made, upon
the, painting-room where the young
ladies, kept the garments which they
used while pursuing their studies; there
a gown, shawl, and hood were procured,
and with these we made what served
our turn for a lady on the occasion.;
not very graceful certainly nor calci . r. Al
for close inspection, but tshe' didf ' s the
seque showed. Thus equipped, ihe lady
ana ner attendant gentleman sallied
forth.
It was about eleven o'clock cf a beau
tiful summer's evening, the moon sltot:e
brightly in the mid heaven, and -'not a
sound was to be heard save the faint
chirp-of the, cricket, or the far off bark
of some sleepless cur. The faintest loot
fall was painfully distinct. The guilty
pair passed through the front gate into
the. village street, and in a few minutes
returned, as it had been arranged that
they should be detected at this stage of
her crimes.
As they entered ' the gate, a signal
was made by one of Ihe conspirators to
attract the attention of the official .look
our.
He approached, the window of his
room, looked out, when Io, to his 'eager
gaze, in plain sight appeared the offen
ding-pair, apparently unconcious of
their danger an J enjoing -with great
ktisto their stolen interview. lie qui cU
iy slipped out of his room and passed
down the steps in front and there, in the
shadow of the building awating : their
approach. :Tlie pair stopped about mid
way of the yard -and seem to be gazing
at ihe stars. The guardian of the night
grows impatient, and saunters slowly
towards them. 1 hey commence a slow
retreat. He quickens his step, aril they
keep their distance. He grows j furious
at the audacious attempt to escape, and
breaks into a desperate run.
And -now commenced a 'race, tha
like of which I may .never hope to see
again. . 1 ne lady and her attendant
gentleman take to flight like startled deer.
i he steps of the pursuer apd pursued
resounded the deserted ? stueet like the
chargtng-of a squadron of horses. On
on, they flew; the pursuer gains; the
gallantry of the gentleman, leares him
and wh , it he leaves the lady; and
poor thing! what shall she do? The
foot steps behind her grew more distinct
every moment; she strains every- erv
but her -dress impedes her step?; it will
not do: she muskeither yield to her fate
or else adopt a desperate and last resort.
And then in her frenzy throwing aside
all maiden modesty, she seizes the skirts
ot her dress, and quickly drawing them
up around her waist, iind -freed limbs

When he the saw upward movements of
the lady dress, he stopped, (he was a
modest man,) transfixed with horror at

boots and cassiroere pantaloons, the
cooctoushessoftiavingbeen sold flashed
over bis mind and completed his dis
comfiture: which was in no wise dimin
ished by three hearty cheers from the
throats ot tne young scamps w no naa
bought him so cheaply. He crept back
to hi room. a sad let but a wiser man.'
