    curly-headed Scot who pulled the bow oar , * There ' s one ! ' I looked towards him , to catch the direction of his eye : he was standing up from the boat ' s thwart , with his hand clutching the oar , the blade of which was dragging in the water . * There , there , there / and his head shook with a tremulous motion , from side to side , while his eyes upverted in their

    sockets , and then dropped down on the slide of the small brass gun , which was mounted forward : he was dead . The men lay on their oars , and a few utterly useless vollies were returned ; while the body was lifted aft over the thwarts , and laid in the stern sheets . There was a small , scarcely perceptible , orifice and indent just below the occipital bone , but no blood flowed . The head was first laid on a

    of every thing but the husk of knowledge , often making only a pretence even to the last . As we wish justice to be done to every class of the community , we shall prove from the statements of the parties themselves—statements which appear before the world in ihe first column of every newspaper , and which yet remain uncontradicted—their extraordinary claims to public confidence .

    We may lay it down as established by the testimonials we are about to adduce , that all schools are equally good , each one being , in fact , the best * or ' one of the best ; any little differences in terms and so forth are merely occasioned by an earnest desire to gratify the feelings and pockets of parents . Where all are best , we find it very difficult to make a choice . We are first tempted by an announcement of
