Mercer Institute.
FflpHE Mercer Institute, lor combining study and
JL manual labour, will go into operation on the 2d
Monday in January next, under the direction of the <
Rev. B- H. Sandeks. i
The principle object of the Institution is the educa
tion ot pious young men, who are called to the gospel
ministry and have been licensed by the church to
which they belong, and have a good report of them
thatare without —and particularly those who are indi
gent—and such are affectionately invited to bring
their testimonialsand avail themselves gratuitously of !
the advantages of the Institution. But as we have no
reason to believe that tins class of pupils will 511 up
the school; it will receive, in addition, as many young
men ot good moral character, as can be provided lor,
irrespective of religious sentiments. The Committee
are of opinion that, from the limited state of its pres
ent accommodations, they will not be able to receive
more than 30 to board on the premises the fust Term j
—As fast, as our triends may find themselves well !
pleased with the experiment we may make, as to con- j
tribute to our means, we design to enlarge our accom
modations lor students, and open our doors for them. ■
All the branches ot science, usually taught in gram
mar schools, will be taught in this Institution. No stu
dent will be received tor less than one year —the year
will be divided into two terms —the first of six months,
from the 2d Monday in January, to the 2d in July—
the 2d of 5 months, from the 3d Monday in July, to
the 3d Monday in December.
BOARD, tor all over 16 years of age, will be S3O
for the scholastic year, and $6 for washing ; those un
der 16. at 5 per month, having a reasonable deduction
for their labour—each student furnishing his own bed
and candles. For want of funds, board and tuition
will be required in advance, to be paid to the stew
ard. Tuition will be $!) lor the first term, to all en- !
gaged in reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, ge* |
ography and history. Ail the higher branches of |
science and the languages, will be taught tor sls the
first term —the second in proportion.
Each student will be required to labourthree hours
each day, five and a halfdays in the week The time
| and kind ol labour will be directed bv the steward, ■
underthe control of the T .istees; and each student;
! will be expected to contorm strictly to the regulations;
of the Institution. It will be expedient for each stu-1
dent to have coarse clothes to work in ; and it is de-1
sired that the wearing apparel of all should be plain
and cheap, that there may be as little distinction as
possible, and that the principle of economy may be;
fully carried intoevery department, of the Institution.:
As our Institution is in its infancy, and in want ol ev
ery thing, any useful book, to aid in forming a library,
' mid any implement for labour, or any suitable article
of turmture. that any friend may find it convenient to
Contribute, will be thnnklully received.

Enlargement and Improvement.
The publishers of the Saturday Courier gratefully
i acknowledge the extensive and unexampled patronage
; which they have received. Scarcely eighteen months
I have passed since the commencement of tieir paper
! and the list of subscribers now exceeds elcvei thousand.
a fact which sufficiently attests the high standing which
the COURIER enjoys in public estimation.
The plan of the Saturday Courier is so comprehen
sive as to embrace every variety of topics vhich can
!be introduced into a public journal. Literature —
| Science—the Arts—Foreign and Domestic News —■
i Police Reports—Sporting Intelligence —a Register ot
! Passing Events—Commentaries on New Piidications
—Dramatic Criticisms, and other subjects, receive
constant and sedulous attention ; and the publishers
do not hesitate to assert that in the interest, novelty,
appropriateness, diversity and general excellence ot
its contents, the Courier may fairly claim precedence
over any similar publication.
The Literary Department of this Paper is supplied
by original contributions from the best and most dis
tinguished American writers ; and Selections carefully
; and judiciously made from the whole range ot English
1 periodical literature. \\ hatever can be obtained,
1 whether at home or abroad, calculated to amuse, in
terest or instruct, provided it be suitable, is procured
and published, without reference to expense or
I trouble.
In furnishing News, foreign or domestic, the pub
j Ushers of the Saturday Courier have very great ad
' vantages, and they confidently appeal to the past ex
perience of their patrons to sustain them in saying tha
: they have, generally, been, in this respect, in advance
■ of their weekly contemporaries.
The SATURDAY COURIER « the largest Paper
1 nnconncctid with politics,published in the L nited States
It Jias always been printed on a sheet of greater size
J and contained, by actual admeasurement, a larger
; amount ot reading matter than any other weekly
I journal of a purely miscellaneous character. Not-
I withstanding, this superiority, the publishers, anxious
( not merely to merit, but to insure a continuance and
I extension of their great patronage, determined to in
: crease the size and otherwise improve the Courier so
ns to make it beyond all question, the largest, cheap
eot and most desirable weekly paper In this country,

BOSTON POLICE.
At an examination for assault and battery in
Ann street in which the complainant had em
ployed “counsel learned in the law,” after a
j number of witnesses, had been called up to prove
the injury but without success, a hardy son of
Neptune was called to the stand. He was a j
fine modle for an artist, with a pair of whiskers |
provoking the admiration and envy of all the I
dandy amatures in attendance. His neat little j
i tarpauling, blue jacket, white trowsers, check j
shirt, and capacious bandanna loosly knotted j
on his neck, plainly said—there’s a Jacktar. I
The professional man, intending to impress
Jack with his relative dignity and humility, first
gave a loud “ahem,” —and then ordered him
“be good enough to relate to his Honor all you
know of this attack on a peaceable citizen.”
JacAr—Altack is it? Split me, if I’ve seen
any attack since John Bull showed his horns to
the crew of old Ironsides. ;
Lawyer— Did you witness the affair in Ann
street.
Jack— Why, as to that, 1 was drifting along
to the Norrard, and the first I knewed, a sort of
a breeze sprung up among ’em : but who was
in the right, or who was in the wrong, was no
l concern of mine, you know. Fair play’s a jew- '
lel says I. Aye, aye, says Bill Backstay. So
1 1 did’nt go lor to put my spoon into another’s ■
1 tinpot you know. I’ve better manners ’an :
that.
Lawyer— But you did see something. Wil! i
you tel! what you did see.
Jack— Why the sum an’ substance otj’c is
they just kicked up a small bit of a hash.
Lawyer— What do you mean by kicking up
1 a small hash.
Jack— Why a sort of a stew.
Lawyer— Well sir and what do you mean by
a stew ?
Jack— A stew ! “Jack gave his trowsers a
jerk, and turning to Bill whispered, my eyes,
what a flat!” Why a stew, ye see, is just a sort
o’scrimage like. Thai’s plain l*m sure. “Leer
ing at the amused spectators.”
Lawyer— Mr. Sailor man give me a direct
answer. Did you see Will Marlinspike strike j
Tom Clewline?
Jack— Not I, on my davy.
Lawyer—~ Then you may go.
Jack went off in the enjoyment of what be
supposed to be a very rational conclusion—
“l’m blessed if that are land lubber ever smelt

Inattention to small matters bring with it of
ten a succession of losses. The following nar
rative by the celebrated Say in his “essay on
political economy,” illustrates this truth in a
verry satisfactory manner. “I remember,” says
this writer “When I was in the country, wit
nessing an instance of tho losses to which a
household is exposed by negligence. For want
of a latch of trilling value, the gate of the farm
yard which opened into the fields was left open.
Whoever went out pulled the gate after him ;
but as there was no means of shutting it, this
gate was always a jar. Many of the farm-vard
animals lia J been Oil tins account l ast.
“One day a fine young pig got out and
reached the neighboring wood. All were im
mediately in chase ot the animal. The gard
ener was the first one who got sight of it; and 1
he in jumping over a ditch to stop its further
passage, received a dangerous wound, which
confined him to his bed for a fortnight. The
cook found on her return from the pursuit, that.
line which she had left at the fire io dry, was 1
burnt ; and the dairy maid having left in a hur- j
ry the cow-stable without fastening the animals
in it, a cow in her absence broke the leg of a 1
colt which they were raising at the place. The (
■days lost by the gardner were worth twenty '
crowns , the line and colt were as valuable.—
Here then in a few minutes, lot want of a I ist- ( .
cuing which would cost a few cents, a loss ot 40 j
crowns was encountered by persons whoso duty t
' it was to exercise the most rigid economy, with- |
J out our taking into account the sufferings caus
, cd by the disease or tho uneasiness and other I
: inconveniences iu addition to the expense.”— j

“lie was conscious that nature had not iorin-

i that the handsomest man, could only be rated al

of the ladies. H.s wil and humor were aumi
’ i ruble, and a strong proof ol lheir influence is, j
that they could triumph over the impression of
his person. These qualities, however, cannot

“My dear friend : This is nullification dav e
and I aint dead yet, and haint been shot at onca
to-day. f got up this morning as soou as it
was light, and went out and looked away tt>
South Carolina, and listened as hard as I cuuld
to see ii Fcould hear the guns crackin and iha>
cannons roarin. But it was all still as a mouse.
And I’ve been up to the Congress house fiva
or six times to-day, and listened and listened,
but all the firing I could hear Was inside the
Congress house itself, where the members wera
shooting their speeches at each other. I had
my company all ready this morning with their
dinners in their napsacks, to start as quick aa
we heard a single gun. We shant go until wa
hear something from these nullifiers, for tha
President says he aint agoing to begin the scrap®
but if the nullifiers begin it, then the hardest
must fend off.”
PRINTERS.
It is a fact highly honorable to the
that in the present Legislature there ar" nirte.
printers. Another fact may as well be men
tioned, while we are upon this subject, showing
that in this happy land of republican institutions,
the way to honor and distinction is open to all
j denominations and grades of citizehSj who
choose to practice virtue and perseverence. A
member of the late eiectorial college informed
' us, that upon going into the senate chamber,
whilst that body was in session, lie was both sur
prised and pleased to find three gentlemen who
had served as apprentices under him occupying
seats as senators.
While Franklin, the printer, was attibassadoi
■ to the English court, a lady who was about bo
1 ing presented to the king, noticed his excelled
-1 cy’s plain appearance, and enquired who ho
> was. “That madam,” answered the gentleman

SEEING IT IS YOU:
At a time w hen knee-buckles were in fashion,
Tom Hobbs, being then a youngster, called
upon a shopkeeper to purchase a pair.
How much for these buckles? said Tom lay
ing his hand upon a pair.
That pair, said the shopkeeper, is wottb
three dollars-but seeing it is you, you shall havb
them for two.
Seeing it is me ! said Tom, with a queer grin,
why, where under the canopy did you ever see
me before ?
Oh I am sure I have seen you, but where, T
can’t recollect.
Well, and I cant recollect where I have seoft
you; said Tom, but seeing it is you, I belief
! wont buy that pair of buckles.
So saying, Tom left the shopkeeper wondf?l>
ing what sort of a character it was with whicjj
he Lad to do.
L little Miss about fourteen years of ag6 at*
tended a writing school, and had made considk*
crable proficiency in her chirograpby. Th®
master set her copies alphabetical, and after fin
ishing the word Union which was given her,
she artlessly locked up in the face of the teach
er and inquired if lie did not think she would bb
able to make a pretty good Union in the courSa
of a couple of years ? “I rather imagine you
will,” was the reply.
