A per sonhl friend-of tke writer who has for sixteenl years 1bJen in charge of an A cn:lomy for iheedireation of yonth of both sexes givest as the result of his observation, and'experiment in teach ing, that, as a geieral rtile, the girls np d' ihmniselvets to their stud1lie4 more als. bIaaiy It 'iAlhoyi, are (ti6lor in their porception:k and, consequenitly. are f*illy elal, if not superior, to thei .11 scholarship. After so long it im . lit knows nothitilg of that comparative weakiess of tho futiale mind of whieb snte talk so fluently. To the same ef f'ect is the tetiilony of another talented a1:l accomplished friend of the writer wLo has beei teaching girlei for the last twenty fiveyeays. Not only in polite leariiing, but in Mathematics, the young ltdies inl shools and colleges go forward Lriumiphanvitly.

Is not this the cmncur ron'. and concltsive testimonty of' th< facts in the case ? Do not t.heso plainly teach uts that there is no sex in miind ? S. [Foa THHS NEsIV.)
