 Nouel Vieac of Duelling If two boys who disagreed about game ofmarbles, or pen ny tart, should therefore walk out by the riY- CT side, quietly take off their clothes, and, when they had got into the water, each try to keep the others head down, until one of them was drowned, we should doubtless think that these two boys were mad. If when the sur- viyor returned to his school fellows, they pat ted him on the shoulder, told him he was a spirited fellow, and that, if he had not tried the feat in the water, they would never had played at marbles or any other game with him again, we would doubtless think that these boys were infected with 8 most revolt ing and disgusting depravity and ferocious- ness.

 ANEcDoTE OF HAYDN.-A female singer, who was in high favor with a German Prince, had to sing one of Haydn's compositions. At the rehearsal, she and the conductor differed as to the time in which it should be sung. It was agreed that the composer should be re- ferredt to, who, when the conductor waited on him, asked if the lady was handsome! "Very,'' was the reply, "and special ia. vorite with the Duke" "Then she is right" said Haydn, with significant look at the poor disconnected professor, who. in all prob- ability, had he gained his point, would have lost his place. and this Haydn we'll knew.
