nation* coined at <i fie rent times? greatly varied
in we “lit and iw fineness, or in the® proportion
of pure*silver to the alloy of*base nyetal us*‘d
in the coinage. ‘J ife. denarius of Tiberius
weighed about* sixty ‘grains; ui, 1 ‘contained®
about ninety per cciyt of silver, and t*n piy
cc*?t of alloy : and was wortl* as wc.have sften,
about fifteen®cents ; But as the Homan empire,

•
“ That ceßtain species of ants in New 31exi
co construct their nests exclusively of small
stones, of tbe saute material, chosen by the in
sects from the various components of the sand
of the steppes and deserts. In on°c part of the
Colorado Desert their heaps were formed of
small fragments of crystalized feldspar : and
in another, imperfect crystal of red transpifrent
, garnets were the materials of which the ant
hills were built, and any quantity of them :
might there be obtained.”
This corroborates an observation in vol. ii. of
Humboldt’s Cosmos. (I made no note of the
page.)
“Tt struck me to see that in the basaltic dis- j
tricts of the fllexican highlands, the ants bring
together heaps of shipping grains of hyalite, !
whiclT I was able to collect out of their bil
! locks.”

Our younger readers may m-t know the mean
. o
ingot the w rd •• hazing/’ and we wilf explain
it. Y\ hen boys or young .men go to college,
they first spend one vftar in avhat is called the
“ 1 reslunau Class” —the class of fresh boys or
men. The next year they go into*the “Sopho
more Clas.j ” —A- wise-fool class, me;uis
wise, and moros mcati% a fool. This cla.-s is so
ealletb, we suppose, because when boys have*
been in college one yeai;. they feel very iftipor
tant. ®mi think themselves very wise, while
1 they are comparatively far from being wise yet.)
i lie next year is spent in the J unior Class; and
| fourth year ifi the Senior Class or oldest
chy-s. NVell, all°ljoys anti young men lov<; fun
1 and frolic, and it is quite common for t ,; * oldest
classes to pbiy all sorts of annoying tricks up
‘ on the ybungtir classes, particularly upon the
Freshmen. The .' : yphouiores, especially, Bove
oto annoy the i’reshuitn. In some colleges tlij.s
trick-playing is called Somctimts
, they go into a Freshman s room and smoke him
out, sometimes they pour pails of wafer on his
head, or put sijphur*in his fire, Br blindfold him
at flight, and lead*him into some dark pljjce and
.leave layi, and so oyT ii. Huntington tells of
a Jiatifig that was capitally done. The joke
was #ueh a good one, that vve would like to
touch it to boys who dq, not go to college. “ \\/e
of jyst such sport mafle of a*poov
lady, and though not much given to liaziflg, or
skylarking, we should like*tobe counted in
among the boys they attempt just such
sport, whether with thei* fellow’s, or*with somen
poof .old n*an or woman. H ure’s the joke that
was nla‘}?;d : In the college were twopoor yßung
| men trying tu get an education : Tlfey cut
| wod, find did many other fterviues for their
vfcaltliy comrades, to get money to pay fheir
way. ‘They \tere poorly clad, and tlfgir robin
was w’llfliout a carpet, and destitute of many
other comforts usually •njoyed. Some of t]fe
fun-loving Sophoinoftis determined to have a
jok* at the expense?*>f tliese two young men.
•So a company of jliem disguised their faces,
and at midnight marcl#‘d into the arid
wrapping them up in their bed blankets,.tfiey
carried *tlem into a garret room, .where.thuy
pretendeef toj’nitTftte them into a secret .society.
Wifi!* this was going on, other Sophomores en
tirely cleaned their putting; oaf the old
bedstead, chairs, table, etc. Then anotheft com
pany*broug!it in a nice new c*rpet and put it
down on the floor;*they broiight.i* mfvv chairs,
tables, liook (ftises, bedstead,‘and
, Hungs. They each brought in ji lot of Fuel
from their several rooms, ;p;d stired it in the
closet ami built a roaring ffre in the grate, and
; put all things iti apple-pie oftler. Tlnf twß
young ii**:i were then brought down, laid in
tlicit’ beds, and
rfloiys. Vas not that glorious sport? \Yo#ld

“ What do you mean by* that ?” said tlie
Englishman, not a litfcle nettled at the con

* “ \hit (?o*l mean?” s;d the latter; “I

“A sheep hasn’t gos. a tail, ha 7” said the.

“No, not von bftli’.said the Frenchman. .

John Bull, “ WWiat can you cxpect*‘of a man

“ Pardon,.monsieur,” said the other, fvith a
polite byw, yet with a very socering: expression ;
“ I say de sheap has Bo tail, not von Bit.” <
By this time they o were gryatly excited, and
wc can Hot say what might have happened had
not one of the l a.-scimers asked the French
o 1 c
man what he meant by a sh<<y> ? m
“ 3 at do I means by sfuup? vy, I means <4ne
big larsh thing with sails anti rudder, that goes
upon the sea.”
“ Oh, ho,” said the Englishman, “you mean

“ Oui, monsieur,” was the reply, “ I nielli

“Ah, you mean von sheep o vit de vool,” sail

This incident taught me a lesson, and I give
it gratis to mv readers— if they ever get into
controversy, let them consider whether one of
the parties does not mean a ship and o the ofher
a sheep.

How Hie New York liadieu nfioril to “Shine.”
A curious commentary on social life in this
metropolis says the New York Times, may be
gathered from a fact which llev. Dr. Tying ex
humed from the reminiscent rubbish of the
Grand Ball, and gave to an audience in his own
! char eh the other evening. According to the
reverend gentleman’s statement an eminent
j v.vt • w's b-.u-e of this city cl, ared, from dia
-1 monds rented to ladies to glitter in the presence
of Royalty, a sufficient sum to pay the rent of
’ their store for a year.

In the morning, the “ seysdy ” one arose first,

exclaimed to Hi is horrified companion*
‘Tt*i.- my hist desperate resort; lain penni

will instantly blow out my brains, and you will
*be arrested as a murdejer!’ .

companion’s argument struck him ‘cold.’ lie

Hearing of this, another Frenchman, of very °
| savage aspect, one night tried to room with a
tall, raw-boned gentleman from Arkansas, who
had bSen rather free with his money during the
day, and evidently had o plenty more behind.—
Next morning, ‘ Dike,’ awaking, discovered his
room-mate standing over him, with a pistol,
leveled at his own head, and evidently quaking ‘
* with agitatioj? ! 0
What the deuce are you standiu’ thar for
in the cold?’ said Pike, propping himself on
his and coolly surveying the Gaul.
‘ I aip desperate !’ was the reply. ‘ You give
me one hundred dollar, or 1 will blow out my
brains!’
i Well, then, blow an’ be darn’d!’ replied
Pike, turning over.
‘Bote you vill be arrested for zc murddaire!’
presisted the Gaul, earnestly.
< Eli, what’s that V said Pike ; ‘ oh, I see!’
and’ suddenly drawing a revolver and a five
pound bowie from under his pillow, he sat up
: right.
‘ A man may as well be hung for a sheep as
a lamb,’ he coolly remarked ; and, F at the word,
he started for the Gaul; but the latter was too
nimble j the ‘ hoss-pistol/ innocent of lead, ex
ploded in the air, and with one frantic leap our
little Frenchman was standing in liis night robe
