"Love is the mistress of us all." "How smooth the surfacc of the river is his evening ! Surely ihe current is gentle nough to tempt even the timid Mary to euturc a sail," said I, half ironically.? Come, hero is a boat, let us cross over and pond an hour with the Misses II "Hut it may be dark before wo return nd then"? she hesitated. "Then wo will return by tho bridge,'' aid I. "It is a delightful evening, and the ist too that I shall spend in your pleasant illage for the present, so let us enjoy it." She made no reply, but placing her hand u mine permitted rne to seat her in the iH.lL A fi?vv cfrr\lroa r\C f1?/\ " .. -~ v.kvw VI HIV Vill <iiJU >YV ;ained iho centre of the river. The dwelling of the Misses II. was situated some istauce below, and yielding ourselves to lie current wo floated slowly down. Report had assigned to Mary W. the unnviablc reputation of n heartless coquette, 'he village gossips would recount her alnost numberless pnnnncsta />cno/?iii11tr , , ?,? J tnong the students of the neighboring col. ge.' Many a fascinated undergraduate ad thought more of her than his studies, nd received for lii3 trouble a coquette's miles and a tutor's frowns. Mary was ineed beautiful and full of that graceful ighthcartejiness, which more even than leauty bewitches us, but one which is so ften, alas! found united with heartless co[uetry. At first I was led to believe that vhat seemed the general opinion was truo. 3ut I soon thought otherwise. I could not >ui ueneve inaiaiunn so lovely enshrined i heart?a heart, too, susceptible of the nirest and holiest passion that mortals enow. My classmates, however, only smi ed and shook their heads at what they callid tny infatuation. But I had noticed her tctions fur soma time closely, and in a meamro unobserved. The inoro I 6aw the noro wns I convinced that Mary had yet to ove, and that when sho did, it would bo vith a fervor of which few are capable.? Vfeantime our slight acquaintance gradualy became intimacy, and it was said by the Milage gossips that I would soon bo added o the catalogue of her vicLims. Thus the ,inie passed by until the period of my dejartnre had arrived, and on leaving tny oom on the last evening of my stay, I deermiSS^to-know if sho was the heartless jeing so generally considered, or if sho was :ap.ible ot loving and of being loved. For once her usual vivacity had dese'ted ler, and our walk on this evening was uniko the many which preceded it, almost a nlent one. 'We return by the bridge do wef 61m inquired, as wc left the Misses H. '1/ you prefer it. The distance is considerable, however; perhaps it will be loo fa~ Sguing. 'Oh, do; I like a long walk sometimes.' A few vain attempts at conversation and ?e again walked on io silencer We had learly reached our bpme when she hesitatingly iuquired?

The following remarks from a late num- i ber of the Loudon Quarterly Review, with j referenda to educating llio heart hofr?rr> tl?? head is too full, commend themselves to all i wbo have the managaraent of children: j It is the vice of the age to substitute i learning for wisdom?to educate the head, 1 ana to forget that there is more important i education necessary for the heart. The I reason is cultivated at an age when nature < does not furnish the elements necessary to a I successful cultivation of it; and the child ] is solicited to reflection when he is only i sensible of sensatiion and emotioa. In infancy the attention and the memory arc I only excited strongly by things which im- ' il.. I il. - I 1 ? -> ? jjicaa iLiu Bunaes una iiiuvu tuu Licuri, UUU a 1 father will instill more solid and available < instruction in an hour spent in tbe fields, wbere wisdom and goodness are exemplified, < seen and felt, tban in a month spent in study, wbere tbey are expounded in stereotype aphorisms. No physician doubts that precocious children, in fifty cr?6es for one, are much worse for the discipline tbey bavo undergone. The mind seems to have been strained, and the foundations for insansty are laid. When tho studies of muturer years are stuflod into the child's boad, people do not reflect on the anatomical fact that the brain of an infant is not the brain of a man. Tlio first eight or ten years of life should be devoted mainly to the education of the heart?to the formationof principles rather than to the acquirement of what is usually called knowledge. Nature herself points out such a course; for the emotions are then liveliest and mo9t Vj easily moulded, being as yet unalloyed by passion. It is from this source that the mass of men aro hereafter to draw -their sum of happiness or misery. The actions of the immense majority aro, under all circumstances, determined much more by feeling than reflection ; in trutb, life present* an lufirnty of occasions where it is ossotftial to happiness that we should think profoundly. 'I'm afraid,' said a lady to her husband, 'that I'm going to have a stiff neck.'? 'Not at all improbable, my dear,' replied the spouse; 'I've seen strong symptoms of it over sinco we were first married.' A person asked a Grecifvp philosopher what be thought was^the proper time to dine. 'Sir/ said the ancient, 'the proper time of dinner^ wiWr the opnfgnt is when he can.' A shrewd observer onoe said tbat, in walking the streets of a slippery morning, one might see where the good*natarerf people lived, by the ashes thrown on the ice Wore the doora. v ^ UMXtt'lH HIHMO/JIJt TIHTTTI-n?l III ! .PERSONAL URAITS OF WASHINGTON. A volume of recollections and privato memoirs of Washington, by his adopted son, with a memoir of the author, by his daughter- isjust out, Tho.o is much iu it that will bo read with great interest. During the interval betweon 1759 and 1774,1110 time which Washington could spare from his building and agricultural improvements, was devoted in a great measure to the pleasures of tho chase. lie appears to have had no taste for shooting or fishing ; but fox huutiugwasa sport in entire accordance with his athletic habits and Lis fondness for equestrian cxercscs. His kennel was situated near tho family vault,in which his remains were at first doposited. It was a rude structure, but afforded comfortablo quarters for the hounds. The pack was very numerous and select. Every morning and evening "Washington visited and inspected the the kennels, in the same manner as he did his stables, lie took pride in the discipline of his hounds. If in running one of them lost the scent, another was at hand immediately torecovcr it, and thus when in full cry, in sporting phrase, you might cover the pack with a blanket, lie kept a register of his'hbrscs and hounds, in which might bo found tho names, ages, and marks of each, and with these companions of tho chase, ho was as punctual in his attentions as to any othor inisiness ol ins lite. At the commencement of the season, Mount Vernon became crowded with guests from the neigh-, bothood from Maryland and elsewhere. Their visits wcrj prolonged not only for days but for week?, and tbey wero entertained with, the exuberant hospitality of the Old Dominion. Washington was always< superbly mounted, and in the genuine ^cos-^' tllTllrt I if llin /-line..

Will, I-cc, Lis huntsman, and^L brave array of friends and neighbors, f&llow- I ed iu the train, but none rode more gallantly in tho chase, or with more cheery voice awoke tho echoes of tho woodland, t an the boast of Mount Vernon. After tho close of the Revolution, tho hunting establishment, which had gone down during tho lato war, was renewed by the arrival of a pack of French hounds, ient by Lafayette. These dogs were of great 6trcngh, and Gerce courage. They would have been able to encounter tho wolf c>rboar, or oven to grapple with tho lion in his native sands, as well as to pull down Lhe stag iu the Atnrican forest. It was necessary to keep them in close confinement, as from their ferocious disposition Lkcy would not hesitate to devour a strangsr, who might pass their kennel after uigliL- ( fall, should the gates bo unclosed. The : huntsman always presided at their meals, ( and it was only by the vigorous uso of the ash that any degrco of law and order could be prnserved among these savage animals. If the weather permitted, thero was a hunt three times a week. Breakfast was served on those mornings by candle-light. Washington, as usual, took uothing but a Indian cake and a bowl of milk. Before sunrise, tho whole cavalcade would often have left the house and unkenneled the fox. Washington was one of tho most accomplished cavaliers. lie rode with case, eleganco and power, lie took no aocount of any vicious propensities of his horse. The only qualiLy whiob.ho demanded of a horse was that ho should go along, and ridiculed the idea that ho could bo unseated, provided that tho animal kept on Iiis legs. Indeed, with hid sinewy frame and iron muscles, he had such a tenacious gripe with his knees, that the horso might as easily throw off his saddle as such a rider. His favorite animal for tho chase was ahorse called Cleskin, of a dark irou gray color approaching to blue. This was a fine but fiery steed, of great, ondurace in a long run. The huntsman, Will., better known in Revolutionary lore as Billy, ? i,? _ 1 ? iuuv a ug^oo taiicu uuiu&i!u<^, u wuuuup ful leaper and very much like its rider; low but sturdy, and of gieat bone and muscle. Tbe only duty of Will, was to keep with tbo bounds. Gallantly did be Jperform biV task. Mounted ou Cbiukling, throwing himself almost full length on tbo animal, with a French born at his back, and bis spur in flank, this bold rider would rush at full speed through brake and tangled wQpd,in a stylo at which modern huntsmen would stand aghast. There were roads cut through the woods in various directions, by which timid hunters and even ladies could enjoy the exhilarating cry without risk of life or limb, but Washington rode gaily np to bis dogs nor spared his impetuous steed, as tho distended nostril of Blueskin would show, lie was always in at the heath, and yielded to no man the honor of the bruab. Aftdf the obase, the party would return to the mansion where, at the well spread board and with the flowing glass, the incident* of the field were discussed, while Washington* nsve^deviating from his orderly habits for the sake of convivial pleasarea, would, after a few glasses of Madeira, retire supperless to bed at nine Vj^ook. *- ' ' ?-.V ??

Imagine them coming over iu the Mayflower 1?Fanny Fern. Taking Cold.?A 'cold' is not necessarily tho result of low or high temperature. A person may go directly from a hot bath iuto a cold one, or into snow even, and not) take col-i. IIo may remain out iu ibe coldest atmosphere until chilled through and not take cold. On the contrary,ho may take cold by pouring a couple of table spoonfuls of wator upon soino part of bis dress, or by standing in n door, or before a stove, or sittiug near a wiudow or other** opening where one part of ths body is colder than another.

The number of cases noted was fiVo bandied, two hundred and forty of whom aro natives of Scotland, two hundred and se venteen wero English, and forty thfeo wefo ifisb.

Brown hair counted little more than three-fourths of its proportionate uurnber. Dark brown, on tho'other hand, roso almost as high abo^e tho average and black still higher, showing an excess in tho proportion of more than three to two. The frequency of black hair among the non-phthisical Irish does not tell much on tlio average, as Ireland furnished only forty-three cases out of the five hundred? less than nine per cent. That consumption may ho very frequent among persons of fino bkiu and delicate complexion, Dr. B. does not deny; in fact, he heieves that a very fair complexion, especially when ennjoined with black hair, is very often associated with proclivity to tubercular disease. It is also conceivable that the progress of the disease may he in general more rapid in fair than in dark subjects.
