BY JOHN R. WALKER. 'B^Hh rry Graves is ovly a clerk* said CldMi^Dfyiyers to her friend Fannie Myrtle, as they sat one February evenings before the glowing grate, framing fancy pictures of the fntute. 'Ah! well, that's true, Clara,' returned the party addressed. 'But what then ? Does that alter the character of his manhood, dear, or afford anv j'ist gtound for detraction ! Why,' contiiMaejkthe speaker, 'I have known clerks niorfe HoUest than those that employed them, and'certainly as worthy of esteem, that is; if virtue forms any basis for esteem.' 'That may all be,* rejoined Clara with a scornful curve of the lips; 'but to roe there . . . . is some:tnrifj bo repulsive in stooping to one's inferiors. Ami then what will society say at the announcement of your marriage with a clerk? Ujjh !' and the dainty lips curled more than before; 'a person with a salary, too! only tl.ink of it ; anil, Fannie, do abandon the idea of such common people.' 'Common people,' said Fannie, CfttfV; why, how stranjje j'ou talk, Qlara. Me thinks few of us are vety uncommon, ex<v-pt it may be uncommon stupid or vie.iou*. Besides, I love Harry very dearly ; and whilst I am not fooli h enough to suppose that one can livt on love, yet I am convin<-ld that one cannot live happily without it.' 'Love! Ah, ha !' contemptuously retorted tlie haughty Clara; whp, jn modern timns, ever heard of marrlfufg for love? It is not only unfashionable, hut absurd, at lea?t, among persons of position; and that is another of those false notions of propriety which beset your silly little head, and which are only regarded among common people in the lower walk* of life. Why, to live in the nineteenth century without money in abundance is to walk through the world blindfolded and shnckled.* 'Of eourse,' replied Fannie, with her usuhI blaiidness; Ml is no matter for regret if fortune chance to drop her favors in the pockets of tbooe we love ; but it is essentially wrong to Beek for wealth alone in tbe'fonrfhtion cf the most sacred relationship of life; and it can lead only to the worst results.' 'Well, well! whilst I can but admire-L your earnestness. I cannot fall into your, train of t-opduKion. For, to me,4he only real enjoyments of life are those' which glide off from the flying wheel of fortune, as it rolls along in splendor, fascinating every gaze.' 'My experience has been widely different in this particular, dear GJ^ra; and I have invatiably found the purest and most durable delights in those that hud thuir origin in the beantiful sanctities of home, and the tender communion of faithful And loving hearts.' 'Loving hearts, Fannie! why you Are a strange mortai. I can cnnceivftof no earthly love beyond that existing between pnrent and offspring; and, depend on it, this is and can be the only pure love known to our species. Love, as the world goes, is ooth ing more nor lew than h sensual aiidr-^pbe? meral attachment that ?>pens in s*lfi*h and mercenary motives,.or willy sentiments, and closes with perpetitai .jitipgnst, and oftentimes with worse things.

OB .V if. '-BM. WALKING, jji There is nothing in a person's appearance words or actions that does not give some insight into the character. If we would he good juges of human nature, we must be clone obseivdflk, noting dowo'every . circuit)slancet,however trivial apparently, in waking up our decision." Now a flash of file eve reveals a trail hitherto unknown, then a blush or a curl of the lip, or a half suppressed sigh discovers some emotion that has long lain concealed. In few things, however, do we read character more fre? qu".ntly or more readily than in ihe man 'ner of walking. We seldom seq, one approaching us br going from us without obterving the manner in w1i;qIi he holds bis bod)- and moves his limbs, and there arises involuntarily in our minds speculations as to his qualities of mind'and heart. This is not unreasonable; fofc after we leave face, there is no index by whtcb we may more aafelv iudce a man than l?v his wnlt J > c" " ~j But we will fall into error if we assume that certain styles of walking are, at all times and under all circumstances, indicative of certain qualities of character. PerfTonsi'dcquiro walks by education, and ibepe if taken for natural, will lead us to form incorrect conclusions. That young lady, for instance, can move across a ball room floor as if she were composed of wires; but we must not thence infer that her nature is so buoyant, her spirits bo elastic. It is more than probable that she sleeps or mopes away three-fourths of lie/, existence. But when entering an assembly of the gay, she assumes those graceful and sprightly motions which she has learned from hor preceptor. From the natural walk of an individual however, we may form opinions ig-regard to his character with a considerable degree of certainty. The industrious and energetic man always walks with short, quick steps ; the lazy man takes long steps, in order that his locomotion may cost him as lit(tfi?{ai*Qir as possible. The self-important man tttoVea deliberately, as if his every step were ol the highest moment to the world. The self-conceited mnn lilfc a st ratting walk, and is always lookincr about to catch the irart of admirers. The thoughtful man looks at the ground as he walks. The impulsive man walks unequally, sometimes at a rapid pace and sometimes 6low. Tbe obstinate man puts each fool down upon the ground as if it werd n?ver to be moved. The one idea man moves directly forward ills* mathematical straight line from the point ol 'his departure tofthe point of his destination. We might go on so through a long catalogueof men and their walks; but.this wil suffice. In a practical point of view it is to b? regretted that so little attention is paid tc the science of walking. Most persons liavt follow - ? ~f -? ii--? e HMVU MUV 0VIIIO Iiinimci Ul wnis'll^ ITOIBJ mere force of without regard to it? propriety or. elegance. Many of high intelligence and tfue refinement move along in an awkward, ungainly gait, tliat woulc he extrettfely laughable imitatedtfv a clown This in simply because they have nevei given the matter any attention. They hav< never felt any de>ire to walk gracefully have never made any efl^>rt to do bo and, ic fact, have but little knowledge of how they do walk. We would by no means reconv mend the establishment of school^iu which the art of w?tlkincr mirrht h? tanr/lit hv ml?? - - o ? D ~V But we think it a matter which should not be wholly^ neglected. Every man should devote to it some amount of study and p'raclwe and by so doing he rony acquire ar i ease, a gracefulness, a dignity in his move ments that will produce*$favorable imprea siona in regard to his character, and elevati , hitn in the opinion of -?eeiety. ^ ^ * OlRf fl TllMlV 11* Tn (A/1rUa *' Younjj Women' .occurs the following}?
