As tbey ne/wed the channel, the latter drew forth from n leather sheath at bis girdle un old rusty knife, and placing tho blade across tbe rope, called out: " I any, Judge, you kin awim, can't ycr !* M No, Smelter but why do you ask that question f u liekase, my jew larky, I'm gwine to out this ere rof>e, -atxl let tbe old crazy boat go to thunder, which she's sure to do ef she strike# one o' Them snogs, ef you don't remit that *r judgment, the Slate got ?gin mo in your Court today." 3 1 "Why, Smelter,'"exclaimed tho Judge, in evident trepidation, " you're deianged.

Tho lauding was anfely effected, the Jndffe etepped aehoro and ascended the bank very deliberately, then furned stid denlv, fbeiug the ferryman, and said : " Smelter, answer me this question ? tcould yoti have Severed the tope!"

That timny of our boys. m(1 girls ores puny in statute, pule aud sickly, nervous and excitable; that they do not promise, either ill themselves or ill their posterity, a strong and endtiiing manhood unci | wofoatiVoocT, is not to be denied ; but that the overtasking fhnu in the fcliouls is the cause of so folich o/ the evil, as It is soinatimoe rhnrotndlnil ir. 5? ?q - - -- ?V KfMy n; the least, very doubtful. Tho schools are only a part of the organizations of society, and they can be responsible on ly for a part of whatever gbbd or evil exists. No doubt teachers like to see intellectual development of tho children entrusted to their care. To foster this development, is ?no of their most important duties. If they did not do it, they could not hold tlleir ofiioe for a day. Taking tho scholars as a whole, very few of them indeed are injured, soiely or even mainly, by the hard study required of them by their teachers. Their teachers ate generally tuoru witling to vail for that normal devel opineul of the mind w hich comes ftotu years, than the parents are. It is the parents, rather than the teachers, who ^are in liaste. Teachers may not be entirely guiltless; but if they drive, they are also driven. Children, especially girls, Itavo not enough of out-ofdoors exercise. The habits of society ore In fault. The modes of dress are iu fault. Children should have free play of body and limbs, so as to.be able to run? jutnp, diive hoop, see-saw, <fcc, &c., without restraint; but this fashionable mode of dress will not easily allow. The fabrics arc too nice to allow of violent. Or , *' r c?se. A few of flie rjcli may dress their daughters in silk "and muslfn*, and, when they are torn or soiled by outdoor piny, they may replaco theni Innew ones; but by the greater part ot the people this cannot be done ; and instead of dressing their children in prints and woollens that will hear hard usages, they dress them in rich fabrics, nnd then teach them to be enrefut of their drc*s, to the injury of their health The silk dress must not be soiled or lorn, will not allow the little girl totnke free out of door exercise at the sciiooi iccom, or in her mother's garden at home. She must be restrained, not on ly in school hours, but out of school hours. Not unfrequently is the teacher requested by the mother to let her little daughter stay in the school room during the recess, because she is frail and delicate. Why is she frail and delicate I... Whatever may bo the cause, tho request is ordinarily an umvhe one. Ordinarily, the oul-of door play of the recess is just what, the little girl needs. Again, school duties and fashionable 1 dissipation cannot go hand in hand to gother with impunity. The one or the other ought to l>c relinquished. It is unfair to attribute lite hard study re quired by the school, the lassitude which arises from lato hours, not of the required hard study, but of exciting amusements. The school girl, doing faithful duties of the school, muist Lc girted indeed' to bo able to enact, at t1:e ! same time, the part of the fashionable lady of fashionable society. NY lien she assume* the latter character, Set her relievo the school of its responsibility. The preceding remarks, however, art not intended to make teacher* Ics* cfi/e ful of their pupils' health than they hitherto have been, but more careful ol it. Hy assigning to the evil iu true cause, alt will bo able to work intelli gently and efficiently for it* removal than by assigning it to a false one.? The apiih of the time must be recog nized. one person, or class of pergyps, roust* be held toWV responsible, but each end all partially so. As a i general rcinmk, not less study in the school Is needed, but Icaa excitement ol h deleterious Uiud, out of school. The teacher'* directions to Ms pupils have been for age#?Stndi/ hant, and plat) hard; study in i(S propr fimr ana place; play in jit* proper time ana place.

Orgln of the Twothird Rule. The rule in Democratic national con- 1 vent ion for the nomination of candidates , for tlie President and Vice President, 1 was adopted at Dahimore, in. 1832, 1 when Andrew Jackson was renominated ' for President, artd Martin Van buren ' for Vice President. 'I'hnt was the first 1 Democratic national convention ever r livid, The Democratic members of the * Legislature of New Hampshire made 1 Hie suggestion that led to 1 he conven ' tiolti ' Their argument Was, to let the ' District and States that did not have 4 Democratic nietpDws-bf Congress, but ) still bad a large Democratic popular ' vote, have, a choice in the selection of 1 candidates. Under the old system of ' Congressional caucuses they were ox- * cludpd. Wo now hoar parli-ans de- ( claim against tbo very idea thai led to 1 the organization of national conventions. 1 'J lie two thirds nile was reported in c 1835, from a Committee of which the 1 late Vice President King, of Alabama, j 3 was chairman. Au attempt was made a to substitute tho majority principle, but v it was voted down. In 1835, tbo so- 1 cond national convention was held in 8 lhdtimore. Tho two third rule was 1 adopted after a long. discussion. The -J majority principle was at first carried, ' but was finally stricken ottt. In 1840 e no action was taken on the two third rule, at the third national convention, as . Mr. Van Iiuren was renominated for . President by acdaination. In 1814, at the fourth national couvcntion, the twothird rule w as adopted by a dose vote, ; after a long discussion. At the national conventions sinoo held, it lias been adopted without opposition.

SumMkr Soma-?Physiological research has ftillv established the fact that acids promote the separation of the bilo from the blood, which is then passed from the system, thus preventing levers, the prevailing disea-e of summer. All fevers are " bilious," that is, the bile is in the blood. Whatever is antagonistic to fever, is " cooling." It is a common saying that fruits are "cooling," and til so berries of every description; it is because the acidity which they contain, aids in separating the bilo from the blood, llonce, the great yearning for grectis and lettuce, and salads, iri the early part of spring, these being eaten with vinegar; hence, also, the taste for something sour, for lemonades, on an attact of fever. But this being the case, it is easy to see that we nullify the good effects of fruits and berries in proportion as wo eat them with -sugar, or even sweet milk or creatn. If we eat them in their natural state, fresh, ripe, perfect, it i? almost impossible to eat too many, '.o cat enough to hurt us, especially if v.u en iiu-ui uiuiic, nui taning any liquid ? with thorn whatever. Hence, also, is I butter milk, or evon common sour milk, 1 promotive of health in summer time.? 1 rfWreet inilk tends to biliousness in sod- ' entnry people ; sour milk is anlngonis- ' lie.
