Stopping in bis story at the sight of the squir- rel's blunder, he sprang to the bridge. dropped his Parisian boots on either side of the plank, an there sat the two—a parenthesis of editors }- inolosing a very reasonably frightened topic of diseussion! t ~{And now comes a phenomenon of natural history, to which I beg to call the attention of Prof. Agassis.| ~ After running backward and forward. in terrified perplexity, for two or three minutes, the little victim came to a stand-still and pro- ceeded coolly to reason upon it. He looked first at one side, and then at theother. The two ends of the plank were laid on the ledges of the two oppusite banks, and, by jumping across the barricade of the Tribune on one side, or that of the Courrier des Etats Unis on the other, he might, at least, land on a laos” precipice, with the danger only of slippin; -as he should alight, and so falling into the torrent below. ~ And this he decided to do; but observe the almost human reason shown in his two or three subsequent expedients ! “ His two cheek-pouches (he was a ground- squirrel, you understand, ene of the tamias /ystert, with pockets in his face) were swollen to their utmost distension with his morning's pick-up of provender. With a knowing alter- nation of his sharp eyes from ore desperate outlet to the other, he evidently made up his mind that it would be easier to overleap the Frenchman than the Yankee; bat he came to the conclusion also, after carefally measuring the jump, that he could not do it aad earry weight. He quietly disgorged. therefore, upon the centre of the plank eight or ten kernels of corn, and, thus lightened. ran to the edge. But here a new thought oceurred to hie, ~ You reeollect the long hickory sapling which servea as a bahustrade to that otherwise giddy bridge over the torrent. Up one of the pine eleats which support the slight railing ran the squirrel, evidently seeing that he could jump w more advantage from this higher point Bat sitting here for # moment, to gather his courage and his forces, he bethought himeelf, that, with the jump thus made easier, he might carry more weight; and, descending again to the bridge, he picked ap one-half of his pre- viously disgorged corn, stored it safely in his cheek pockets, ascended again to the top of the j i g, sud made the leap he had previously projected parrative. se: learned.

Thouyb not attached to it, the writer has seen enough of this school to challenge his admira- tion of the soothing influence of the female char- seter; and if the hundreds of such ladies in Wash ington wonld bat turn their energies into the same channel, there would be hope forthe rising Keneration aronad us. (jualified in every respect to grace the drawing room, and to dignify the Social elrele, there is no position where thove qualities shine with such undimmed Lustre as at the head of that little band of wayward children, teaching them by precept and song to become good citizens and good Christians.

The claim rests with binding force, not only on the Cristian, but on every 1 Pm being who is in- terested in the well-being of society, and who would perpetuate the inestimable benefits of thin Wnion, and keep their domestic tiresides sacred and secure from the assaults of the lawless. Birt ago: the lanes and alleys of the city ata saeritice which the christian and philanthropist alone will make under an overpowering sense of duty, there is no channel through which charita- ble funds ean be so safe from imposition; and, though I believe the Association dues not profess to ei for all the r of the city, it will vladly be the almoners of the bounty of those who are willing, out of their abundance, to miniater to the wants of those who are suffering for the necessaries of life; anda knowledge of which wants, brought to light by the labors of the charge of Tremont Temple, saying that brother K. was never more beloved by all bis people than he is to-day. * but “there is a lack of cor- n implied want of confi- nce. which a man of brother K.‘s spiriteannot has waited. until he has shown all that he caw preach in the Temple as —— chooses and now he has resigned.” In Mr. vch’s letter he remarks—- [ have the setis- mn of retiring with the consciousness that »» far as [ know. not one unkind or disagreeable feeling exists between myself and any member {this church.
