YTS0.X- ./Sl'TST. THE LADY’? TEST. During tho timn of rliivalry. "lien young p„filing presented themselves in crowds ns cand'dates ff ilie honor mid urivantagc of oh- rich Indies in marriage, nnd ul nnv test however severe, which might ho required of t>v their mistresses—in these same limes, woo i> happily for suiters, aro now no more, there lived a young Indv r,frank, who >vns nhke riuniwned for the aniiquiiy oflior Inmily. her enormous wealth, and her enchanting homily. She VV . 1S conned hy three brave knights at onre, bo* neither of them was to her taste: and -dint made matters more distressing, was 1I1..1 their assiduities deprived her of the mo ments which *ke would willingly have ronse- criiied to the sole object of her afleelion. Ilildevert, the man of her heart, wa> inferior •o her ill rank, and she naturally presumed that innumerable ohstaeles would bn raised as soon as she shoi ld communicate to her proud parcels the name of her E ver—Imt she was i.innlv resolved rather to renounce all matri monial engagements than nod any hut him. Ilildevert was a handsome young man, who tilled in tho castle of her father, the office of •secretary. The young lady had grown up liy his side, nnd he had probably without being aware of it, planted in her heart the seeds of die lender sentiments which had afterwards taker, so deep a root there—nor could she, at the same time, forget that when her father, eonfm mably to the pious custom of tho age, had quitted his domains to debt beneath the Christian standard in Palestine, Ilildevert had, by his bravery, saved her parental roof from the rage of a banditti who hnd attacked it. During a certain winter season, when the three knights came regularly to woo this lady, she resolved to get rid of these importunate suiters at once, and forever. She announced, according to the custom of the time, that a test should decide to which of the throe the preference was due—a doclara lion which satisfied at once her parents anil Uur lovoro. The laily reserved to herself ex clusively ns was customary in such eases, the right of naming w hat tho tost should he, of preparing if necessary, and of being present .when it was executed. Tradition is silent ns Id whether she consulted her favoured llilrle- •vert upon this subject—whether it was he who ■invented the project she executed—whether she w as indebted to sonic ancient romance for •the idea, or whether it was altogether of her own—tradition, however, has riot concealed from us tho fact that she was assisted in the execution of her design hy Ilildevert, nnd hy an old faithful servant. Whin nil (liepreparations were completed, •she desired the first of her suiters to ho enllcd, and addressed lam thus :— 4 My father has for some time past hnd his coffin prepared, in order to remind him that his term of life is drawing to n close. To night f will order the coffin to lie pl.ieed in the hall. Pot yourself into it like a dead man, and do not stir at all, whatever you may behold.— These commands obeyed, I shall know that you really love me.’ ‘ Charming lady,’ repliod the knight, 1 can it bo difficult for bun to net the part nf a dead man. who is at every instant ready to expose himself to death for those bright eyes ? Com mand what you please, you w ill find your lover •jnshnkun to his Inst brent!:,’ The young lady afterwards spoke in these terms to the second of her suitors : guests at all the current talcs of sorcerers and j floui ish in the bosoms of either of these young spirits, swearing that from his very youth liej gentlemen. Dirk s greatest enemy on eailh had scoffed at the idea of ghosts. ' When iliei was tides, and if honest tides haled any hu- nppnintcd hour arrived, he walked courage-1 man being except the master, it was Dick, ott.-ly towards the hall, where the lady was j They were excellent spies on each other’s awaiting Ins arrival with the old warder of the conduct: fiiles never missed an opportunity castle. ” She indicated to him his post, giving, of procuring Dick a castigation, and Dick was however, at the same time, full liberty to walk equally active in making the master acquaint- or sit still—to read—in a word, to employ him- ed with every punishable peccadillo that his self in any way he thought proper, providing only that lie should defend it from whoever might approach the coffin. When the ladv and the warder had retired, the most profound silence reigned throughout die hull. The knight began to scrutinize it in every part, ami at last exclaimed : what will not love render a man capable of, then throw ing himself into a chair near the coffin, he fix ed his eyes upon the corpse. Tho sight of this object roused an involuntary shudder to pervade his whole frame, for his brother sui ter. who counterfeited tho dead man, played his part so well, nnd his pale nnd livid coun tenance resembled so exactly that of one in whom life had become extinct, that the most distrustful eye would have been deceived.— Mis head, too, half raised, appeared ns though it would advance towards the rush man who stared so fixedly upon him, anil drag him with him to the tomb, which already gasped for all that death had left him of mortality. The knight withdrew his gaze from the hideous ob ject before him, snuffed the lights, and began to read an ancient family chronicle—and in this occupation he became so busied in the re lation of u siege of some town in Italy, that he forgot the man in the coffin : and sharing the heroic sentiments of the bravo knights, he eume like the first knight, prepared to push the adventure to its close. Tho lady, who with her lover, and the old warder, was observing, from a neighboring apartment what passed in the hall, began to entertnin somo misgivings respecting the sue coss of tho strntegem. when the hour of one o’clock struck loudly on her car. Instantly the third knight was heard to approach the hall. He struck a tremendous blow upon the door of the hall at the very moment when the knight who, poring over the chronicle was en gaged, in his imagination, in cutting his wav through a breach hy the side of Ins gallant an eostors. Tho noise made him leap instantly from his chair as though tho hand of him who struc k hnd caught him up suddenly by the hair. ‘Who comes there?’ lie exclaimed. No answer was relumed, and the silence which had pre vailed since the blow was struck, was only in terrupted hv the echo of his voice The guardian knight seized a taper, and drew near the door with a design of opening it—hut changing his purpose, ho stoppod, listened attentively, and was about to repeat his ques lion, when a second blow, louder than the first was heard. ‘ Como in, I tell you,’ exclaimed the guardian knight, and then stepped hack a few paces in order that ho might keep his eves upon the corpse which remained tranquil and motionless. The guardian knight placed his taper on the floor, drew his sword, and marched with lengthened strides towards the door. A third hlmv, compared with which, tho other two were really gentle, shook the door. At the same instant the two sides flow open, and tho devil entered. It is well known that in the ages of igno rance, such as that in which this adventure took place, the devil was firmly believed in hv the inhabitants nf Fniropo. The poople, the knights, nml even the princes themselves, bo- Wu linvo a dead man in the easllo—the ! lin ed that he assumed all sorts of forms for brother committed. One dav an accusation was preferred against Master Richard, hy one of the monitors, of having cut down a small tree in the shrubbery, lint there was not sufficient evidence to bring the offence home to the supposed culprit. “ Does no young gentleman happen to know any thing more of this matter 1” inquired the master. Giles immediately walked from his seat, and, taking a place by the side of his brother, looked as though ho had something relevant to communicate. “ Well, sir,’’ said tho master, “ what do you know about the tree ?” “ If you plazc, sir,” growled Giles, “ if you pluzo, sir, I sawed un.” “ Oh ! you ‘ sawed un.’ did you I” “ Iss, I did : Dick seed I saw un.” “ Is this true, master Richard ?” “Iss,” said Dick ; and Giles, much to his astonishment, was immediately flogged. At the termination of tho ceremony, it oc curred to the master to ask Giles how he had obtained the saw. “ About your saw, young gentlemnn,” said lie, “ where do you got a saw when von want one ?” Giles had some faint notions of grammar floating in his hriun, and thinking that the mas ter meant the verb, and not tho substantive, blubbered out—“ From see.” “ Sen !—so you go on hoard the vessels in the dork, do you. out of school hours, nnd ex pend your pocket money in purchasing imple ments to cut down my shrubbery 1” “ Nou, sir,” said Giles, “I doant goa aboard no ships, nor cut down no shrubberies.” “ What, sirrah ! did you not confess it?” “Non, sir; I said I sawed brother Dick cut down the tree, and lie seed l sawed un, and u’couhlnH<l*Miy it.” “ 1 didn’t deny it,” said Dick. “Then possibly you aro the real delinquent after all, Master Richard,” exclaimed tho mas ter. Dick confessed that lie was, hut ho hoped the master would not heat him, after having flogged his brother for the same offence ; in his way, he humbly submitted that one pun the cartridges which lie had left, loaded his! not as good as they ought to be; and since gun, primed it ; firing upon the hussars, bro’t you refused to touch them, I’ll endeavor to down one, and flying threw lus last cartridge make the best I can of them.”—.V. F. Con- to the grenadier. Stella lion. Thanks, brother,” cried tho soldier, and, | corps will ho laid in the hall to night : do me the favor to watch hy his sole, in older to pre vent the occurrence of any accident. It is absolutely necessary that you should conduct yourself with resolution, and maintain your post hy (tie coffin wlmtovor tuny ehnneo to hap pen. By the strirt fulfilment of tho condi tions, I shall ho enabled to n judge of tho sin cere v of your lovo for me.’ 4 What command has issued from that love ly mouth !’ replied the knight. 4 This slender •lest my very squire would willingly undergo fora breakfast, nod wherein cun it possibly offer difficulty to one who is ready to brave death that he mny find Invor in your sight !’ The Indy then took the remaining nno of Jier three suiters aside— 4 I intend,’ said she, 4 to amuse myself at tho expense of a man who has undertaken to watch a corpse to-night, and who boasts nnd piques himself prodigiously upon his courage Disguise yourself as a devil—1 linvo n dress prepared for you. At tho hour when sceptres arc said to visit tho earth, go nnd terrify this guardian of the dead, and endeavor to make him quit his post. Hot remember to maintain s — ulc!v in y our own, whatever may iiapperf; from this I shall form my judgment of the ardor of ybur passion fur me.’ * What! adorable lady, is such infant sport as this, all that you require ns a proof of my bravery and love ? No matter, your pleasure is my law. and since it has taken this turn, should Lucifer himself gunrJ tho coflin, I would make him yield his post to me.’ As soon as the night set in, a large coffin, covered with black, was brought into (ho css- tie hall. Wax tapers, and oil the apparatus of death were placed around. The knight to whom the part had been assigned, arrayed in a linen shroud, placed himself in n colfinin the presence of the lady, and clasped his hands firmly together—a crucifix was laid upon his breast, and hia head, which rested on n pillow, was crowned with flowers. Tho livid tint of death disguised his countenance: and tho ladv after considering him inhii position, and feign ing to shudder with horror at the spectacle, gave him strict injunctions not to open his •yes or to give the slightest signs of anima tion. The second knight began bv doing ample honor to the splendid supper to which ho had been invited. He was full of gaiety nnd spir its, and Isaghcd bcs.lily with ike rest of the the purpose of tormenting mankind. Upon dtis occasion ho nppoared in tho disgmso of a tall nnd robust man, whoso firm stops shook the flooring of the hall. Mis powerful arm brandished n heavy lanrc—lie cast a look of fury upon the guardian knight, and another upon tho corpse—and in spite of the glittering sword of the former, walked firmly towards the coffin. The gnnrdinn knight defended his post valiantly, and tho issue of the contest be gan to be doubtful, when the dend man forgot the part ho had to play. Tho danger to which ho found himself exposed from tho sturdy blows which rattled about the coffin, and his curiosity to behold tho fray, induced him to raise himself in his coffin, and open his eyes : but no sooner did he behold tho frightful figure of tho enemy of souls, than he leaped from the coflin and prepared to flee. At the sight of tho corpse in flight, the two cambatnnts lost all courage—the devil made for the door, nnd the guardian knight took re fuge in a neighboring chamber. Thcltvly accompanied hy tho witnesses of her success, entered the hall, which rung with bursts of laughter, and recalling the three knights who itarc hardly raise thoir eyes for nhnmc, reminded them of ihcir compact, and bade them recollect that both tho laws of gal- Inntry and knighthood forbado them again to prosa their suit. Tho knights took a hasty departure from the enstlp, and Ilildevert was shortly after wards united to the object ol his affections. cially as it had been bestowed on ono of tho same family as the delinquent—was to all in tents nnd purposes, enough for one crime. The master, however, did not coincide with Dick on this gravo point, and the young gen tleman was duly horsed. 44 As for Mastor Giles,” said the master, as lie laid down the birch, “ ho well merited a flogging for his astonishing—his wilful stupid ity. If boys positively will not profit by my instructions, I am hound, in duty to their pa rents, to try the effect of castigation. No man grioves moro sincerely than I do, at the neces sity which exists for using the birch and enno as instruments of liberal education ; and yet, unfortunately, no man, I verily believe, is compelled to use them moro frequently than mysolf. I was occupied for full half an Imui, in drumming this identical verb into Giles Or- rod, only yesterday morning : and you, sir,” OHIO REFORMED MEDICAL COLLEGE, WORTHINGTON.

The necessity for an institution of this kind in (ho west,to he under the direction of competent Professors, is strikingly evident. It is nn institution that is designed loconcentrate, anddissenrinate all the knowledge of Doctors of Medicine and empyries, sages and savages; and that will demonstrate to the student and the sick that vegetables alone afford the only rational, safe am! effectual incans of removing diseases without impairing the constitution, or endangering life or limb. Thai the present system of practice which Ircatsdiseases of eve ry form with metalic minerals, the lanccl or knife, is dangerous,inefficient, the lamentable facts which eve ryday presents, too fully illustrate. Nor is this truth more clearly exhibited than the fact that vegetable sub stances alone, arc void of danger, and powerfully effi- cient when adminislered; a reference lo the success of our New York Infirmary, and the success of ignorant botanical physicians, proves this (bet. The College and Infirmary will be opened the first week in December, where students from all parts mny enter and complete their Medical Education, and where persons laboring tinder every species of disease, shall receive prompt and faithful attention. The course of study to be pursued, and which will be taught according to tiro OLD and REFORMED systems by Lectures, Recitations, Examinations and suitable text books, is, 1st. Anatomy and Phisiology. 2J. Old and Reformed Surgery. 3d. Theory and Prac tice of Medicine. 4lh. The old and improved system of Midwifery, with the diseases of women and child ren. 5th. Materia Medics with practical and general Botany. Cth. Medical and Botanical Chemistry and Pharmacy. 7th. Stated Lectures on collateral Science —Moral and Mental Philosophy—Phrenology—Medi cal Jurisprudence—Comparative Anatomy—Medical History, &c. By attending this Institution, the student will acquire a correct know ledge nf the present practice of physi cians—a knowledge of the use and abuse of minerals, the Lancet, Ohstcrical Forceps and the knife, and a knowledge of tho new and improved system that su persedes their use with tenfold more safety and suc cess. There will bo no specified time to complete n course of study; whenever the student is qualified, he may graduate and receive a Diploma—some will pass in one year, others will require more.

Many of the most hardy and daring proposed a general in surrection, and a massacre of their oppressors; the great mass, however, were deterred by the belief that the Spaniards wero supernatural beings, and rould not bo killed. A shrewd and sceptical caciqtio, named Krayoan, deter mined to put their immortality to the test.— Hearing that a young Spaniard named Salze- do, was passing through his lauds, he sent a party of his subjects to escort him, giving thorn secret instructions how they were to act. On coming to a river, they took Salzcdo on their shoulders to carry him across, but, when in the midst of the stream, they let hun fall, nnd throwing themselves upon him, pressed him under the water until he was drowned ; then dragged his body to the shore, and still doubt ing his being dead, they wept and howled over him, making a thousand apologies for having fallen upon him, and kept him so long beneath the surfuce. Tho cacique Brayoan came to examine the body, and pronounced it lifeless: hut the Indians still fearing it might possess lurking immortality, nnd ultimately revive, kept watch over it for three days, until it show ed ineonteslible signs of putrefaction. Being now convinced that the strangers were mortal men like themselves, they readily entered into a general conspiracy lo destroy them.”— Wash ington Irving, Family Library.

Its present subscription, which is ra pidly increasing, insures its permanent existence. It will be devoted, as it has hitherto hetn, to the dis cussion and maintenance of the principles 44 which brought General Jackson into office; 1 ’ which have been asserted in his several Messages to Congress, and sustained hy the course nfhis administration. As a means of giving permanent effect to those principles, the Globe will continue to advocate the election nf tho President for a second term. His nomination for re- election by the Republicans of many States, and other manifestations throughout the Union^ leave no doubt of the desire of the pi.'.j.li, i'nai ne snail follow in the footsteps of Washington and Jefferson, by serving ir. the Chief Magistracy eight years. The Globe will not stippoYl or countenance any in • triguesor cabals, having reference to the successor of General Jackson. On the contrary, it will denounce and exposq all men nnd Ihcir acli.'who may seek, by selfish intrigues, with a view to future aggrandizement, lo embarrass the administration, defeat the efibrts of the President to promote the public good, and sow dis cord and dissension in the Republican parly. It will hold no alliance with those who cannot postpone their personal pretensions to the interests of their country. The interest of the American public is necessarily great in the political affairs of Europe at this eventful crisis. Arrangements will be completed, as early at possible, to secure for the Globe the means of giving the earliest information from that continent. It is intended, also, to give the Globe a liters ry and miscellaneous character. Selections from periodiral■; of the highest reputation will adorn its columns, to gra tify the general reader; while, as a vehicle cf informa tion in relation to manufactures, agriculture, commerce and the arts, it will be made •ubservicnt to the useful pursuits ofthe country.
