Poetical Asylum.

From the Token for 1835, GOOD NIGHT. From the German of Korner. Good night! To the weary, slumbers light, Day draws softly to its close, Busy hands now seek repose, Till awakes the morning bright, Good night!

Seek repose! Weary eyelids gently close. Still, more still, the lonely street. The watchman's horn sounds far and sweet And the Night bids friends and foes Seek repose!' Slumbers sweet! Dreams of Heaven around thee meet. Him whom love torments by day, Shall the dreams of night repay. Him the loved-one's voice shall greet; 'Slumbers swceV.' Good night! Slumber, till the day dawns bright, Slumber, till another morrow. Comes with all its care and sorrow; Oar father watches fear takes flight. Good night! Good night!

THE WHITE WEASEL. In the reign of King George III. there lived a boy in London, who was born in the neighborhood of St Paul's Cathedral, by the name of Curtiss. He was left an orphan child at the age of ten years, destitute not a penny in the world. The question was with him, although so young, what shall I do? He resolved that he would run errands for any one who would employ him; and early in the morning he sallied forth from the hovel where he had lcpl the night before in quest of employment. He walked but a few minutes in the strand, near Somerset House, when a gentleman met him, who accosted him thus, "Mv lad would you oblige me by carrying this note to Chancery Lane?11 at the same time handing the note, with an English shilling, saying 1 will give you

this shilling tor so doing. curtiss instantly took the money, and punctually delivered the note to whom directed. On his return he met a poor woman near Temple Bar, who apparently was in great distress, and althought but a boy she solicited charity from him. Curtiss asked the suppliant what it w as she had under her arm; to which she replied by showing him a little white kitten; he immediately of-

fcrred her all the money h-j had lor it, being the shilling he had just earned, with which she was much pleased. Curtiss then set olT with his kitten for Charing Cross; on his way thither a gentleman met him near Exeter Change, not far from the Adelphi, who espying the kitten asked the lad what it was he had under his ragged blanket? Curtiss told him it was a kitten. The gentleman requested to look at it. which he did and examined it most critically, then said, "my lad, you arc very much mistaken it is no kitten, but a white weasel; will you sell it? Yes sir, said Curtis, what will you give for it? Five Guineas, said the gentleman; the kitten, then sir, is yours; Curtis received the money, delivered over the kitten to the stranger, then walked off v. ith

his guineas in his pocket. 1 lie day following Curtiss (who by the by, was a very handsome little bov ) hastened to cambourn alley to procure lor himself proper and respectable clothing, that he might nppear as well dressed as any of the respectable boys in London, which ho fully accomplished with two guineas.

replied the unknown, in a calm and clear

voice "to punish a vain boaster, let the re

formation did not produce the desired elfect upon the slouched hat, that Le Cain evidently intended it should. In the same provoking and even voice he replied, 4Your language my cock-sparrow well becomes your profession ; but young man," (and his voice assfmed a tone of sarcasm) '-you had better cease your boasting and save your strength, for I assure you that you will need it all to steady your eye, and guard your points.11 The sword of the fiery Frenchman was unsheathed in a second the stranger cooly followed-his example.

if he overtakes his business before night.

So, if any person finds himself pinch

way an hour, when he thought he nad time enough and a little to spare. Time enough say we, when in a serious mode, we resolve to be more diligent, more systematic, more punctual When

we resolve upon any reform. We do not mean to procrastinate but when we muse the moment passes, is irrecoverably lost. Do you say, we knew all this before. No doubt of it. Yet we are apt to think there is time enough, but some to spare. But this is an error, and should be corrected. The different length of different lives

From the Dcdham Advocate. THE SLOUCHED HAT. i In the year 1G there appeared in the goodly town of Boston one Monsieur Lc Cain, who from the accounts he gave of himself, came to sVjourn among them for the purpose of instructing the sober and staid citizens, in the "noble science of defellce.,, He took lodgings in

King street, at the sign of the Cat and

Parrot, from whence he issued his cards; giving notice, that at all hours of the dav, he holds himself in readiness at his room, to give lessons in the noble exercise of tjie broad-sword. At the bottom of his bills was appended the following: "Any gentleman who is so good as to join in the amusement, and escapes without three cuts and a parry to one attempt, wfU be entitled to twelve lessons gratis.' This boast drew forth at once the pride and feeling of all the voung blades in town who had ever "donM glove" or handled

This success tickled his pride; and to gratify his vanity or more perhaps to extend its celebrity, and to increase the number of his pupils, he caused a stage to be erected in the common, upon which he daily appeared, armed "cap-apie,1 giving challenge, that he was ready then and thera to contend with naked blades against all comers. This was a cooler to engage in "friendly passage,11 witft ""buttoned foils where nothing was exposed but their vanity, was what had been and could be endured by the young gladiators of the town; but to face this gunpowder Captain of the Louises in mortal combat, was not for a moment to be thought of. No one ever dreamed of attempting it. Thus

Monsieur LcCain had his stage entirely to himself, upon which he continued daily to renow his challenge, give point and cut direct upon the empty air. It was at one of those daily exhibitions

This change of affairs in an instaut altered the opinion that Le Cain had entertained of the skill of his antagonist. He abandoned at once his assault, and relied solely on his defence. The stranger pressed upon him, his face assuming a
