Frying Fggs ScliEefTer, the dancing maiter is now dead; but the memory ,of his waggeiy hassurvived him. He was once a boarder at the Lamb Tavern, Boston, when that house was the resmt of sundry gentleman of the Legislature, A party of the Inst had relumed, one evening, frotn one of Putter1 exhibitions; and while talking over what they had seen, in presence of Schaafter, confessed that nothing puzzled them so much as the feat of frying eggs in a hat. The modus operandi of Potter's other tiicksthey thought they had detected, but this particular feat quite exceeded their comprehension. They could not, for the life of them, see through it -"Why, gentlemen," said Scbjcfl'er, joining in the conversation, "I cannot agree witU you. It really strikes me thai this trick of Potter1 can be imitated with the great
est ease imaginable. If any gentleman here will accommodate me with the loan of his hat, I will do it in a moment, and if 1 do not succeed I will forfeit a bottle. All weie eagar to see the performance, and every hat was held out. SchaetTer
took Ihe hat ol one of the most 9trenuoua doubters, and deliberately broke in it q, dozen of eggs. He then muttered the usual incantation: "pretto, vesto, change," &lc. at the same time whirling the hat pretty vigorously, in order to give the contents a good etiring up. He then looked into the hat with a face apparently full of confidence, which was instantaneously turned into a black, stupid stare, on its being ascertained that the contents of
jibe eggs remained without change; the
hat meanwhile, being pretty thoroughly soaked under the operataion Having gazed lor some moments at the rueful plight of the chapeau, SchaetTer, recover ing from his apparent astonishment, and at length esolaimed. "Well gentlemen, am sorry to say it, but J have lust my bet. But, I declare I thought 1 could do it."

just before 8 o'clock, a tall man dressed
in long vestments with a white beard, and a y oung man in white with large wings at his shoulders, alight ft om a hackney coach and go up to his sister's apartment. The commissary immediately ordered twelve of the police guards to post themselves on the stairs, while he knocked at the door' and desired admittance. The
lady replied that she had company and
could not speak to any one. But the com
missary answered that he must come in, for thai he was St Peter, and had come
to ask St. Paul and the angel Gabriel how tfiey came out of heaven without his knowledge. The divine visi'.ers were as tonished at this, not expecting any more

On searching the criminals, two cords, a rar.or, and a pistol, were found in St. Paul's pocket, and a gag in that of the angel Gabriel. Three days after the trial came on; when they pleaded in their defence, that one w as a soldier in the French infantry, and the other a barber1 apprentice that they had no other design than to procure a good supper at the widow's expense that it being carnival time, they had borrowed these dressses, and the sob dier having picked up the two cords, put them into hi- pocket that the razor was that with which he had constantly shaved himself lhat the pi-tol was to defend them from any insult to which their strange habits might ejepose them in goiDg h?mc J
