Bat, my dear friends, this poor, persecuted old ’coon is still living in the sunshine of a wide spread fame and undying honor. While his brethren are every day falling victims to relentless politicians, and the skins of his kind r ed hang perching on tno gable ends of log cabins, ho is tallowed to roam abroad in the green cornfield of {freedom, venerated and respected by all. When i the time shall draw nigh for him to lake his gray ihairs dawn to the grave in peace, he will glory in the consolation, that, although hckmcc lost a (comfortable snooze by walloping, still he gained I immortal renown by a cruel and unjust persecution. Beware, my friends, how you torment [creatures beneath you because they arc not endowed with the gift of gab, and have no way of manifesiing all the ionurcs they feci. I shall rai-c my leather lined lungs in their defence. I shan’t even permit you to treat them as you do one another; for they are worthy of more respect and decency. As my friend Mr. Morris would say, so say I—Old ’coon, while I’vo a hand to save, a loalVr shall harm tlico not; and I offer the simo protection to the whole quadruped kingdom, from a til mouse to the behemoth himself.

In the silence that ensued, the hum of distant voices borne upon the evening air. came floating through the open window, ‘What’s that!* said the sick child, opening his eyes. •The boys at play upon.the green.*. JIo took a handkerchief from his pillow, and tried to wave if above bis head. But the feeble arm'dropped powerless down. ■Sball I do it!’ said the schoolmaster ‘Please wave it at the window,’ was the faint reply. ‘Tie it to the lattice. Some of them may ace,it there. Perhaps they’ll think of me, and look this way.* Ho raised his head, and glanced from the fluttering. signal to his idle ball that lay withr slate and. book and other boyish property, upon a table in the room. . And then he laid him softly down once more and ashed if the little girl was there, for he could not see her.

A Sailor’s Cruise.

One of the seamen of the ship Exchange, jusi arrived at this port, relates of himself rather.a singular adventure. About eighteen months ago ho left Boston, in the U. S. ship of the lino Ohio, and continued in her till last August.— Whilst that ship was cruising in theGrecian Archicpelago, ho fell overboard, during a night watch, from her main chains, and, some evolution performed at the time, he was hot missed until the watch was mustered; tiro hours afterwards. The ship kept on tier stately course and,left him to contend with the elements, and (osink\orswim,as might be his fate; Three or four hours afterwards, he was picked up by a small Greek brig, bound to GaMipoli.'. At that place he could not dad Ihv American Consul, and was persuaded, by the English Consul, to whom ho told his story, to enter on board the English fleet, then lying off Gallipoli. .Being entirely destitute, with scarcely a rag of clothes upon hia person, ha- was about to agree ■ to the proposition, but.subscquently escaped, in a Maltese felucca, and went to Constantinople,* where he'entored oh hoards Dutch vessel-hound.to A nl w'erp. This vessel .pu l ■ in to Gibraltar; and there iho saw, onco more. his.old ship Ohio, which he had ,left so unceremoniously,’some months, before. He now anxiously desired to join heragain, and entreated the master of the Dutch vessel to allow him-to go on board, or to send tome notice to her of his whereabout. The JJ utmeo.being short handed, would snffer him to do neillieVandthb finally had'.lbo mortification to aeo the gallant Ohio depart again r witbbut him. - At Antwerp, ho up (o iheAmerican .Consul, who "supplied him with clothes;- and sent him on "board the Exchange, for passage home. That vessel went from Antwerp to. Cadiz, and has just 'arrived in Boston. Thus; eight months after falling overboard from the Ohio, and after so many curious adventures, helm now safely arrived at the very port from which he sailed a year and a half ago. This sailor’s name is Charles Smith. Ho reported himself yesterday at the Navy Yard to Commodore Downes: , by. which act ho will bo entitled to all his wages for the whole lime of this singular cruise. ; ■.

Attempt to assassinate Louis Phllllppe.

An attempt ,was madc on the JStfa ult. io as* sasstuate Lotiis Phillippe, The following details of which appear In the Journal dcs Debits, •Last evening,* continued the Debate, *55 minutes’ past of: 5 o’clock, when the King was returning to. St. Cloud, accompanied by tho Uueen and Madame Adeliade, and was passing along the quay of the Tulllcnee, near the Pom de la Concorde, opposite to the guardhouse da Lion, an individual tired a carbine in the direction of the carriage. Their Majesties, who fortunately were not injured, continued their journey. The assassin had evidently chosen this po-sition-with 1 the intention of taking ad van t ago (like.»Alibaud) of it he: instant that the King would salute the troops under arm?, . The King, in fact, always salutes tho guard, whether troops of the lio'e'or .;Na:ionaI Guard, and in so doing lets down the glass of the carriage, and adrances forward. One of the Grenadiers oh guard immediately seized the assassin, who said, *1 am not going' away.V He was then taken to the guardhouse.. The Prefect, of Police arrived In a few minutes; and interrogated him. He confessed h&crimc, and declared that his name was Marcjus Dannes. He said that ho was a native of Marseilles, and had been for a long time in Paris, and was employed as a frolleur (in polishishing the floors of apart men is.) He was clad in a longj. frock coat, under which he concealed bis.carbine, iho stock of when was expensively carved,' ‘ He is 43 years of age. ; He was searched, and on his person was found two loaded pistols and a poinard. The carbine which bad been cm short and loaded up to the muzzle, bad burst. The charge did not scatter and the carriage wae but siighlfy struck. The assassin, however, was severely wounded in tho left hand. His caibinc was loaded with several balls and. slugs. The explosion was extremely lotid. Oneof the .National Guard, of the escort, was slightly wounded in the hand by a slog.— One of the footmen'who was standing behind the carriage, was wounded in the leg. The wound is not dangerous, but the ball has not been.cxlracled.

The School Muster Abroad. „ Alexander Persse, a man who looked .like a long used, badly bound edition of Essays on Intemperance, was found ‘on llio shelf,’ or rariior on the banquette in Plrillippa street, on Wed-, nesday night, 1 To was ‘very well, I ihank you.’ Persse teaches llio young idea how to shoot; but finding that he could not keep pace, we suppose, with the march of intellect, by himself down on the banquette, cither to store the mind with now, inspiration or to arrange the ideas with which his mind was already stored, and prepare for another start off in the intellectual racci

As I walked out by the light of the moon, So merrily ringing this old tunc, 1 came acro=i a big racoon A lit ting on a rail, And deeping very round. At this old ’coon I longed to peep, Because he was ,o fist u sleep,. So tip to him I gantly crcip, And catch him by the tail, And pull him on the ground.

My hearers—we find it recorded on the page of sacred history, that man shall hold dominion over the beast of the held and the fowls of the air—and so lie docs, with a vengeance dial is sickening to mercy, revolting to Immunity, and frightening to crows. What is man more than a 'coon that he should ea his arms akimbo, and stick his elbows clear through both tides of creation, exclaiming: The whole earth is mine, and all that-inherit it iiiiist succumb to the pittance of the almighty mandate of my will. Yes, I ask, why is it that he should do this, while the very worms at his feet are peeping from tha clods and laughing him to scorn, saying: Old chip, ■you may crow and triumph in your vanity, but the time will come when wo will make oat meal of.you and your household, jus: as sure ns wc have breakfasted upon the flesh of your forefath- j eis. Alan ts nothing‘more than a lump of dirt in the scale of animated nature, and whoa he dies he mingles his ashes 'with these ofthe reptiles of the earth; and I feel assured that even Professor Sillimaa himself could not pick out two particles of once organized dust, ami swear that this is repitferous and that human. It is true that man i> endowed with intellect and reason, which is denied the beast; but this only adds a thicker coat of shame to the dirgraco of wantonly molesting or torturing them while they arc quietly snoozing in the comfortable lap of dame Nature who provides for them with maternal tenderness end care, as being her first born', am) legitimately entitled to her love and protection, if cats and dogs do sometimes come to tooth and claw with each other, and kick up bloody rows, we can forgive them, because they know no bettor; but for reasoning man to purpcsely crush the in-, sect in his path beneath his high-healed boots of arrogance, or to annoy dumb animals in any manner, is wholly inexcusable, and he ought to suffer far it. He should tako a lesson from what Uncle Toby said when he opened the window and told the poor fly to go, for the world was wide enough for bath him and it. Why,.my friends, 1 believe that ’coons, skunks and possums are the true aborigines of America—the real natives of Columbia’s soil, that they have a better right to unlimited .possession than cither yon or f have; and it is a bard case that they should he chopped upland made soup °f» by a hloud-thiraly race of lavage-civilized, carnivorous, two legged beings. My friends—this venerable old ’coon, alluded to in ray text, it appears, was soundly sleeping upon bis favorite.rail, to the silvery light of the moon, and perchance sweetly dreaming of his lady love who was far, far away. There he was quietly reposing in hiaown valley of contentment, white the wings of the zephyrs brushed the balmy dew drops from the leaves upon his chesnut* pillow—aye, upon the very spot which contained the bones of his ancestors, and tfhich had been bequeathed him by the God of nature. He felt himself secure upon Iris elevated couch, and yet whenever he thought upon his latter end, Be was fearful that thereby hung a tail, which might prove a plague to bis peace; and so it turned oat—for, ere the midnight mooo bad reached the climax of her ambition, a wandering loafer, full of wine, mirth and mischief, crept slyly up, and laying hold of the posteriors! ornament of tbs poor defenceless ’coon, hauled him upon the ground and abused himmsucharuifiainly manner, that he waa glad to escape with a bunged eye abd bloody nose.

Ancctlolo of Olden Time*

An AlFcclin; Picture.

Mr. S , a.respectable and thrifty merchant of the last century, possessed a greatdeal of natural shrewdness, together with a tact' of turning every thing to his own advantage. . Wo have heard many anecdotes of bint ana among others, the following will better show off poiu-t liarilies than a labored description. He kept a grocery store near Spring Hill, which, liko r the grocery stores of that period, was filled with a variety of notions; among other things he was famous for the gaud quality of Ins cotton, an article* Which at that time was very scarce and high. One day a customer from the country drove up to his door and inquired the price of cotton.

. The following extract, from one of'iha last numbers of-Master Humphrey’s Clock, is remarkable for its simplicity and its pathos;. Kelly and her aged grandfather in their wanderings ‘were hospitably entertained at.tho domicil of a village schoolmaster, who .was in great distress on account of the Illness ofa little boy, Jiis best scholar—one tar whom he seems to have entertained a more than parental affection. He gives his pupils a half hoi leading little Nell by the-hand, proceeds to the humble dwelling where his little favorite lay on o heel of sickness, ••They, stopped at ji cottage'door; and the schoolmaster knocked softly at it with his hand, it was opened without loss .of lime* They ‘entered a room where a liUlo group of women were gathered about one older than the rest, who was crying very bitterly, and sal wringing her hands, and rocking herself to and fro. v ' •Oh dame!' said the schoolmaster, drawing near her chair, ‘is it so bad as this!*

Icy. • No, sir,’ said Pcrssc, ‘I shall decline it, and in a manner strictly in accordance with the principles of etymology: thus; sir, come; came, come. Now, sir, the conjugation is equally simple, thus—I come, thou contest, he, she or it ccmetli or comes, 1

‘This hore’s all nonsense,’ said Charley, who was gelling out .of patience with the learned grammarian. ‘■Yes, sir,’ said Pcrssc, ‘you are pcfcctly right —nonsense is a kind of a compound word, combining both a negative and an affirmative—this sir, is one of the idioms peculiar to our language. ‘ t wont hear no more of it,’ said Charley; and making a lever of his right arm he raised Persse and put him on his legs in a perpendicular position.

‘Throe and sixpence per pound,’, replied Mr.

Darraes, when arrested, hurst into a violent passion and exclaimed—'Cursed carbine! I had taken a good aim but 1 overloaded it.* To the first question which was addressed to him ho at first replied 'Conspirator/ ‘What is yonr professions’ ‘An exterminator of tyrants,’ •Whit coold have induced you to commit so horrible a crime!’ *1 am not a hired conspirator; I. follow the impulse of tny nature. ‘How long is it since you formed this resolu-

‘Weigh-mo a dozen pounds,* says tbe countryman,.at the* same time stepping into the store with a largo bag to put it in. The cotton was weighed and put into the bag, and Mr. S Stepped into the counting room to make a bill, leaving his customer busily engaged in lying it up. Now it happened there was a small lot of good cheese near (he spot, and the countryman, though right from the land of milk and honey, could not resist the propensity to crib one of them: Ife accordingly took one tip, after looking about to sco that none were observing him, slid it into bis bag, whicli ho immediately lied up, and patiently awaited.the return ofS , who soon after came out and presented the bill, which the countryman paid. Now Mr. S was one of the most polite men of (ho age, and moreover his quick eyo had detected the abdqctioo of a cheese. He was at no loss to account for its disappearance, and instantly prepared himself to act as circumstances might require. The countryman, after one or two unimportant observations, was preparing to depart. S /who we before observed was excessively polite, would by no means suffer him to carry his own bundle, but offered his services, and at tire same time took up the bag to carry it out. He had proceeded nearly to the door of hia shop when he stopped. ‘This bag is very heavy—I must have made a mistake in.ibe weight of cotton. *1—1—1 guess not, ‘said tho countryman. ‘But 1 have,’ certainly, says S ‘I can hardly carry it—we must weigh tt again.’ By this time, S — had it brought back to the cotmrer and waa preparing to untie it. Here was a dil.mma. If the bag bo untied tbe theft would he discovered, and if weighcd as it was, it would be paying monstrously high for cheese. The countrymae hetn’d and ha’ed and scratched his head but without getting out of the difficulty. To complete.his consternation, at that moment another person entered tho store—this decided him and after drawing a long breath ho slam-, mere out—

‘Hu’s going fast,’ cried tho old woman; ‘my grandson’s dying. all along of you. You Bhould’nt eee him now, but for.Irs being so earnest on it. This la what Uis learning has brought him to. Oh dear, dear, dear, what can I do/

•That, that,’ said Prrsse, ‘lias been done without violating in the slightest degree the recognised rules of grammar; per example—I rise, thou rieest —’

•Do not say that I am in fault,’ urged the gentle schoolmaster. I am not hurt, dame. No, no. You are in great distress of mind, and do not mean what you say. J am sure you don’t/ ‘1 do/ returned the old woman. *J mean it all. If he hadn’t been poring over his books out of fear of .you, he would have been well and merry now, I know he would/ The schoolmaster looked around upon the oiher women, as if to entreat.some one among them to say a.bind word for him, but they shook their heads, and murmured to each other that (hey never thought there was-much good in learning, and that this convinced them. Without saying a word in reply, or giving them a look of reproach, he followed the old woman who had summoned him, (and who had' now rejoinedthem) into another room, where his infant friend, half dressed, lay stretched upon a bod. He was a very young boy, quite a little child. Ilia hair hung in curls about his face, and his eyes were very bright; but-their light was of heaven not of earth. The schoolmaster took a seat beside him, and stooping.over the pillow whispered his name.—The boy sprung up, stroked Ilia face with his hand and threw bis wasted arms around his neck, crying out that he was his dear kind friend.

Charley, without saying another word, placed his arm round that of Perise’s as a retainer, and walked him off to (bo watch house.

i Darnie* is low stature; he has a scowling and ferocious expression of countenance. His bearing indicates most determined resolution. His wound is serious, and required medical assistance. It is asserted that it will be necessary to amputate two or three of his fingers.— The pain of the wound was ho intense that he fainled.% 1 -:,- On the boulevards and public places the news of the attempt on the King’s life produced an extraordinary effect.’

1 Your actions, sir,’ said Persso to Charley, ‘am those of a scholar, snd if 1 mistake not are agreeable to the second rule in syntax, which says that two or more nouns in the singular number joined together by one or more copulative conjuntu ns—your arm and mino as io the present case, for instance—must have verbs, nouns, and pronouns agreeing with them in the plural number— bo that insted of /go, or you go, wego. You understand, don’t you! I know you do.’ ‘ Yes, 1 understands you’re a blamed fool,’ said Charley; and in a minute or two more Persso’ was on the books of the watch house.—

that a large black spider from the ceiling orer head had attached hit web to tho paper, and raiaed that and the ring ono inch. In the course of a week he railed it eight inches. He wit then driven away by a small brown spider. Another black one afterwards attached his web lo it, and in the three days raised it to the height of fourteen inches from the table; when, by some means, the web was broken. The’weight of the paper and ring was twelve grains— Lovell Courier,
