The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the ,premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifloe. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security d a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the amoral life should go beyond the prescribed limits.

Reader, refleeb for a few minutes, and if yea are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such wits the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff ! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catarset, Nervous Ireadach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury ; the letter of protection, signed by Henries, Fsq., t o Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525.

(From the Boston Post of Dee. 4 ) Notwithstanding Dr. Webster had signed a paper to the effect that he was willing to remain in gaol until the result of the coroner's inquest should be known, and thus avoid, at least for the present, an appearance in court, Mr. Parker, county attorney, saw objections in so grave a matter—in having a prisoner in custody upon no other authority than his own voluntary consent—and therefore arrangements were made yesterday forenoon for bringing him to the police court, and ex hibiting the complaint to hhn in due form. About one o'clock he was brought up from gaol in a carriage, and, together with Franklin Dexter, Esq., his counsel, Sheriff Eveleth, and Mr. Parker, was shown into the judges' lobby. The court-room was then cleared of all persons but the officers, the :pri soner having requested a private hearing. He waived the reading of the complaint, but his counsel examined it very carefully, without taking any exception to it. The offence not being bailable, Judge Cushing ordered that the prisoner should be committed to gaol, there to remain to answer to whatever charge the grand jury for the January term, for the county of Suffolk, may allege against him. He was then taken back to gaol. Ile appeared affable and collected, and even smiled pleasantly when told that he would have to remain a few, minutes while the papers were being made out. He read a newspaper while waiting for the documents to be put into shape. The complaint was made before Judge Merrill, at his residence, about eleven o'clock on Friday night, and immediately after Dr. Webster was taken back to gaol from the Medical College. Up to that time he was only held in custody under a mittimus signed by Constable Clapp. The gentleman who signed the complaint was one of Dr. Parkman's letting and col lecting agents, and was the most decided and perti nacious person of all concerned in having such a persevering search made within and under the college building. _ _ -- (From the Boston Herald, Dec. 3.) At nine o'clock on Saturday evening a crowd of about 100 persons assembled in front of the Medical College, and commenced singing the " Old Hun dredth," and never did the words "Be Thou, 0 God, exalted high," fall with such a solemn accent upon the evening air, echoed by a choir of voices such as have seldom been heard in unison. The moon shone brightly upon the motley group of choristers, and a number of policemen and watchmen near by, and rendered it a rare and painfully solemn scene. The spontaneous acknowledgment of the hand of the Deity in bringing to light the foul deed which had been committed in the sombre-looking building before the doors of which they stood, was a subject worthy of a painter's art, or a moralist's reflections. Having finished the " Old Hundredth," they struck up "Old Grimes is dead, that good old man," and followed in the same melan choly strain, with " Poor Uncle Ned has gone where the good niggers go." An Irishman, by the name of Patrick M'Ginnis, who lives in what is called the " Black Hole" in Cypress street, harangued the multitude, stating in his speech that he saw Dr. Parkrnan go into the college on Fri day morning. He came out at half-past one o'clock, and returned at six in the evening. 1 his man has been employed to take away the offal, or the relics of the carcases, and empty them into the different re ceptacles of filth. He was employed to go of an errand, and in passing up the stairs heard what is supposed to be an alterca tion in the professor's study. The voice of Dr. Parkman he distinctly heard, and could swear to, and the subject in dispute was the payment of a sum of money which the doctor said had been due for some time, and that he was tired of further promises. He stopped at the door for a few moments, and heard a reply made either that "he or you would not have much more trouble about the matter—he had annoyed him to death, and he was heartily sick of it." There were many angry words used by both par ties, but he (M'Ginnis) not thinking anything of the matter, left the door, and proceeded to perform the errand which he had been instructed to do. He saw Dr. Parkman no more. It has been discovered, by a careful comparison of ,he letter taken to Marshal Tukey by Mr. Eli ICins• ley, post-master of East Cambridge, with a piece of paper found in a desk either at the room of Professor Webster or at his house, that the pieces exactli , matched. The letter alluded to was written on a piece of white wrapping paper, and was enclosed in an envelope of a piece of yellow wrapping paper. We publish it for the benefit of our readers ; it is an important link in the evidence : Dr. Parktnan was taken on board the ship Her cules, and is all I dare tell you for fear I shall be killed. I was one of the men at East Cambridge. I took his watch, and as I was going along the road that leads to the long bridge to Boston, I threw it over for fear I should be detected." (From the Boston Atlas, Dec. 5.) We learned yesterday that Mr. Sawin, who drives an express waggon between this city and Cambridge, states that he has been employed for a long period of time by Professor Webster to carry bundles and parcels for him to and from his residence and the college, as often as fotir or five times a week, and that up to last week he had been in the habit of going into Professor Webster's apart ments in the college, and leaving whatever be had there. Last week, he says, Professor Webster told him to leave any parcels which he might bring over fer him in Littlefield's entry, and he would get them. He also says that he endeavoured to open the door to Professor Webster's apartment, and found it fastened on the inside. Among some other articles which he brought over were some bundles of faggots. A por tion of these was found in Professor Webster's apart ment. (From the Boston Herald, Dec. 6.) A chemical analysis has been made of the contents of the veins and arteries which were dissected out of the thighs and leg, on Monday afternoon, for exami nation, and neither arsenic, acid, nor chloride of zinc, have been found mixed with them. The absence of these two chemicals conclusively proves, therefore, that the body from which the veins and arteries were taken was not one which had been brought to the college as a subject for dissection. A portion of the cinders found in the furnace of the laboratory of Professor Webster have also been rigidly analysed, and a small quantity of gold and silver has thus far been found, and the small quantity of each of these metals found would seem to indicate that they proceed from the melting of the filling of the partly decayed teeth, and the plate of the mineral teeth identified as Dr. Parkman's. Some curious attempts have been made to get at reports of the evidence before the jury. On Wednes day evening the officer on duty was offered 20 dolls. by a penny paper for what he could remember of the estimony he had heard. Yesterday afternoon two reporters, attached to another penny paper, by means of a skeleton key, got into the dead house under the ward-room, where the jury was sitting, and were applying their ears to the air hole which runs up to the room, when they were discovered by the officer. They had locked themselves in. 'When the door was opened the youngest brother rushed out, and making a lively use of his legs, got away. The remainder man was taken before the jury, and coroner-mauled. We learn this morning, from good authority, that the family and friends of the late Dr. Parkman have become fully satisfied of the identity of the remains discovered in Professor Webster's apartments. Dr. JUVENILES There's not a dress-mart to be found Throughout the British Isles, To vie with that of M. and Son, In dress for Juveniles. Moses and Son make boys' attire In all the various styles ; For while they strive to please adults, They study Juveniles. All who behold this famous stock Bestow approving smiles ; And thousands flock to M. and Son, To dress their Juveniles. Moses and Son can also sell Superior Caps and Wes, And boots and shoes, and other things, To suit the Juveniles. E. M. and Son, In seeking trade, Eschew all artful wiles ; And so you'll say when once you try Their dress for Juveniles. Their trading patronage has spread For many, many miles ; And far and wide their fame extends In dress for Juveniles.

The recognition of these remains by the family is most important in its bearing upon the fate of the accused. If he is innocent of the crime of murder, the conspiracy of which he is made the victim is one of the most helliAi on record. (From the Boston Railway Times, Dec. 7.) We have refrained from expressing any opinion as to the guilt or innocence of Dr. Webster, but while all avenues of actual intelligence of facts by the 7 coroner's decision that the inquest should be private " 1 is closed, an d a th ousan d rumours are fl y i ng 23 about that are prejudicial to the pris , mer, we do not think it out of the way to allude to one or two 4 facts that have some bearing upon the matter. On 11 the day of the alleged murder Dr. Webster lectured to 18 the class, a n d mem b ers o f i t say th ere was no per ceptible change in his manner, neither was there any 8 observable change during subsequent lectures, On 15 the evening of the murder he was in company with his 22 friends from seven to ten, playing whist, and evi -29 dently enjoying himself, and with every appearance 6 of serenity and quiet. His friends are confident that, 13 with his characteristic nervousness and excitability 20 of temperament, it would have been an impossibility 2 7 for him to have done so if he were guilty of the 3 great crime laid to his charge. 910 17 DISCOVERY of HUMAN REMAINS. 24 1 The excavation of the site of the water company's new reservoir, on the Castlebill, has from time to time 15 brought to light a variety of interesting relics. The 22 most extraordinary discovery which has yet been 1 29 made known is that of an ancient burying place. At the north-eastern point of the reservoir the excava tions for the reservoir were commenced. Proceeding in a southerly direction from this point, the ground deepened as the work advanced, and about 30 feet onwards the outer edge of a bed of moss was reached, the soil exhibiting as the work proceeded gradually increasing traces of human remains, consisting at first of mere shreds and fragments, but by and by becom ing more entire in the portions, and more accumulated in quantity. On the north face of the excavation a wall about 10 feet in height, and understood to have been the foundation of a church, has been exposed, the lower part consisting of strongly grated, and the upper of substantial rubble masonry. The church, which was called or to be called Christ's Church, was commenced about the middle of the 17th cen tury ; but our civic rulers then, as since and now, were frequently short of cash, and, therefore, although the foundation was laid and some progress made with the superstructure, the latter part of the fabric in the course of time came to be pulled down, to furnish materials for the existing Tron Church. The exca vation having been carried forward at a depth of five or six feet under the level of the foundation of the church, its north wall has been laid bare, and is now completely exposed. The section it presents is very remarkable. In digging for a foundation for the church the excavators had struck upon a bed of strong retentive clay, which affording to all appear ance an excellent bottom on which to lay the intended building, they penetrated no deeper. Under this stratum of clay, however, is a bed of natural moss, several feet in thickness, and from 15 to 20 feet square or upwards. In this bed of moss have been found a number of coffins, composed of strong black oak, from three to five inches in thickness, most of them containing a portion of human bones, consisting of skulls, fragments of bones of the spine and of the limbs, and a lower jaw bone, with the teeth still in the sockets, mostly in a state of good preservation. In one coffin, which was carefully opened, there was not even a fragment of human remains, and the only substance that indicated the use to which it had been applied was a portion of glutinous matter adhering to the inner surface of the oak. Nearly the whole of the coffins seemed strongly saturated with a substance having some resemblance to phosphorus, most probably the residuum of animal fat. The bottom plank of the most perfect one was hollowed out in the centre, with a deeper recess for the reception of the head, which, in every case, seemed to have been laid towards the east. Every thing around or connected with this strange sepul chre speaks its vast antiquity. The strong Scotch oak, despite the high antiseptic quality of its sur rounding matrix of moss, reduced almost to pulp— the form and thickness of the coffin—and even po sition of the head towards the east, and the strong presumption that when the foundation of the church was laid, about 200 years ago, its existence was unknown or forgotten in the lapse of years—seem almost to assign its use as a burial-place to a period antecedent to the history of our city.—Caledonian Mercury. MEXICAN DEBT. The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders have received letters from Mexico, of which the follow ing are copies:— FROM MESSRS. MANNING AND MACKINTOSH. " Mexico, Nov. 15, 1849. " Sir,—Referring to the annexed duplicate of our last respects of the 13th ult., we now beg to acknowledge receipt of your esteemed favour of the Ist ult., and also of your letter addressed to Mr. Robertson (which, in compliance with your instructions, we opened), the contents of which aro attentively noted. "We have nothing new to communicate. Since Mr. Robertson's departure that gentleman's arrangement has remained pending the decision of Congress, and begging to refer you to him for all information relative thereto, we remain, &c., " MANNING and MACKINTOSH. " G. R. Robinson, Esq." FROM MESSRS. MANNING, MARKOE, AND CO. " Vera Cruz, Nov. 17, 1849. " Sir,—We beg your reference to the enclosed copies of our last respects, the contents of which we confirm. " The bondholders' proportion of duties uncollected is this day as follows: " Amount pending October 15 ...5161,743 23 " Approximate of duties for 0ct.... 88,340 0 " Lt'ss amount collected $250,083 23 34,864 6 " Pending this day' 5215.219 17 " We have, in addition to the sum of 34,864 dolls. 6c., received of our collector 11,701 dolls. 47c. for the bond holders' proportion of the October collections at this Custom-house, making a total of 46,565 dolls. 53c., which we have, as customary, shipped by the present opportunity to the Governor and Company of the Bank of England.—We remain, &c., " MANNING, MAILLOE, •nd CO.

NEW WAY OF RAISING THE WIND.—On Satur day, Thomas Ox, a man formerly captain of one of the Birkenhead steamers, was charged at the police court with raising money under false pretences. It appeared the prisoner leads rather a dissolute life, and had been in the habit of so raising money. On the 3d instant, he called on Mr. Jones, ironfounder, and ordered him to send a man to Mr. Parry's hotel, Secombe, to do some work; but Mr. Parry had never given such au thority. Some weeks ego he sent a person across to Woodside with some portmanteaus, and obtained 63. as ,•ommiseion, but no such articles were wanted. He bad ordered several articles to be sent to Mr. Willoughby's, at Tranmere, in the same manner, be receiving small sums or small quantities of drink. On one occasion he sent a hearse and a mourning coach to the same gentle. man, and afterwards, on the same day, Jolliffe's musical band (I), representing that Mr. Willoughby was about to treat his friends to a grand ball. Both cases were equally unauthorised. Mr. Jolliffe gave the prisoner a pint of beer when be gave the order. Mr. Willoughby said there were about 150 cases against the prisoner. Mr. Ruahton said, no doubt the prisoner had told false hoods, but it did not appear that the law could he brought against him for getting the money. The pri soner was remanded, but no further inquiry was entered into yesterday.—Liverpool Standard. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, DEC. 24.—We have had a much thinner attendance on Change to-day than is usual on Tuesday in Christmas week ; or than the substi tution of Wednesday (if in other respects convenient) for that day, would certainly have secured. The improvement described in our last has been generally confirmed, and in many articles carried further. Mule yarns, from 30's to 60's inclusive, have become so scarce, and the demand so active, as to raise their average value fully 4.1. per lb. as compared with the quotations of a week ago. Of No. 40's, the market appears to be quite cleared ; and it is difficult to place orders at an advance of id. upon the recent lowest prices. An improvement is also going on in the various counts of water twist, which cannot now be bought without paying id. per lb. more than the rates lately prevalent. There is likewise a growing firmness in spinnings for home manufacture. It will be gathered from this statement that the principal operators are the Indian mer chants ; there is business doing, however, for the markets of the Mediterranean, the Levant, and the unfrozen parts of Germany ; indeed, for Ham burgh there is some purchasing in anticipation of the season for shipment. In goods, the improve ment is not so marked as in yarns; but in some de scriptions of cloth adapted for printing, or for export in the grey or white state, the transactions are very considerable; and in such things prices show at least a hardening tendency, while a growing confidence and firmness may be stated as observable among the makers of such cloths as are least in request. It is to be noted that the day's business has received no impulse from the telegraphed intelligence by the Canada, from which it appears that in the United States the estimates of the cotton crop were again being some what enlarged, and that some giving way had taken place in prices. The present upward tendency is not, therefore, imparted per force from below, by a rise in the raw material, but is naturally ensuing upon an augmented demand. ROCHDALE, DEC. 24.—We have had but few buyers in the market to-day, and the business trans acted has been very limited. In wool the manufac turers continue to buy sparingly at former prices. This may be called the last market in the present year, as that on the Monday following Christmas-day is scarcely deserving the name of a market. The new market is always held on the first Monday after Old Christmas-day, which will fall on the 7th of January. MAC ' CLEgrIELD DEC. 24.—The thr ow i ng t ra d e continues as brisk as it has been for same time past, all the mills being on full time, and, yin one or two instances, factories are being put to woi* which have been standing idle for some years. NOwithstanding this, prices, as we stated in our last, art by no means adequate for thrown silks. Most of tkis large houses being stock-taking, there is less doing instnanufactured goods this week ; but with the opening of the new year we may hope to see a fair demand. The season we have just passed, too, has been one of the best the manufacturers in general have experienced for some years. There is no alteration in prices since our last to report in the silk market. The overland news from China confirms all previous accounts of a short crop of silk ; the estimated supply for the season varies from 12,000 to 16,000 bales ; good qualities scarce to be found. HUDDERSFIELD, DEC. 24.—The market has been very quiet, being the last in the year. Wool remains firm, and there is considerabl e b us i ness d o i ng. lIALIFAx, DEC. 22.—The attendance in our Piece Hall to-day has been but slender, as is usual at this holiday season; but the dem an d for worsted goods is pretty much the same, with but little improvement is prices. Yarns are still in considerable request at ad vances rates. There are fewer sales of wool, and the upward tendency of the quotations has received a check ; but the market exhibits much firmness.— Manchester Guardian. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WM. The Queen and Prince Albert took their NESDAY usual morning walk. The Royal Family took walking exercise in the grounds adjacent to the Castle. Ills Royal Highness Prince Albert went out shoot ing this morning, attended by Lord Elphintone, Colonel Berkeley Drummond, Lord Alfred Paget, and Colonel Bouverie. There is no addition to the royal dinner party this evening. Lord and Lady John Russell returned to Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park, yesterday, from a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne, at I3o wood Park, Wilts. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governors of Hong-Kong, Ceylon, the Mauritius, and Malta. Dispatches were also received on Tuesday, at the Colonial•office, from the Gowrnora of the North American Provinces, and from the Governors of the West India Colonies. DEATH OF THE RIGHT REV. BISHOP COLERIDGE. —lt is our painful duty this wet k to record the death of the Right Rev. Bishop Coleridge. The venerated prelate returned to his scat, Salston, Ottery, on Thursday last, for the purpose of spending, with his estimable family, the Christmas season. About three o'clock in the after noon on Friday the Bishop was out looking at the rains of St. Saviour's-bridge, over the Otter, shortly after which, on his way home, and just as he had reached the farmhouse, his hind (Mr. Horsford), who resides there, asked him how he was. He replied, " I feel very unwell, llorsford," and immediately reeled, but Mr. Horsford caught him and prevented the fall. Soon after this the Bishop expired. His sudden death is supposed to have been caused by the bursting of a bloodvessel in the heart, In his demise the Church has lost a learned and most faithful prelate, the country a wise and consistent Eng lishman, his tenants a good landlord, the largo circle of his family and acquaintances a sincere man in the domestic and friendly relations of life, the poor a kind adviser and a benevolent benefactor.— Western Luminary. During the course of last week a bill, of which the following is a copy, was circulated over the town of Paisley:—" The good time's come. Wanted immediately, 60 masons, SO joiners, 10 plumbers, 30 bricklayers, 20 slaters, and 50 labourers ; i n a ll, 250 a bl e -b o di e d and ac tive men. James Torrance, Esq., of Elgin-place, will meet with them on Monday evening first, the 17th inst., in the hall, 2, New-street, and explain as to terms of :engage ment. Liberal encouragement will be given." As might have been expected, the hall was filled to over flowing, principally with Irish labourers. Mr. Torrance appeared, and, as announced in a second bill, delivered a lecture on the subject of total abstinence from intoxicating liquors, and reprobated in severe terms the publication of the bill, as ' copied above. A person in the meeting wished for some information as to the origin of the bill, as he knew men who were present, who, hearing of it, had come from Barrhead, Glasgow, and other places, to obtain work as labourers. The printer, on being asked who employed him, stated that it was the secretary of the society who handed the copy of the bill for him to print. Mr. Se cretary, it appeared, did not possess the courage to face the meeting, considering, no doubt, he was as safe else where till the business was over. It is to be hoped that, for the sake of the temperance movements, as well as placing the peace of the town in danger, no such reck less publication shall be again allowed to appear.—Ren frewshire Reformer. ACCIDENTS AT SEA.—We regret to announce that a party of five fishermen belonging to Bernera, have, it is to be feared, met with a watery grave. They proceeded some eight days ago to the fishing ground, and for a time their absence gave little anxiety, as it was thought that they had taken shelter in a fishing bothy on one of the neighbouring r,islets. Little doubt, however, exists that the boat and crew have been lost, for an oar, a seat of the boat, a basket, and a bonnet of one of the men have been found on the coast of Harris. Four of the men have left widows and helpless children, and these are all reduced to the most abject state of destitution. On the morning of Tuesday week, a small haddock-boat belonging to Findochty, proceeded to sea with five men on board. for the purpose of catchirg haddocks, when, melancholy to relate, the boat was upset, and David Flett, and three young men of the name of Smith, sons of William Smith, met with a watery grave.— Witness. The late William Etty, Esq , of York, the eminent painter, died worth 40,0001. He served an apprentice ship to the printing business in this town with the late Mr. Robert Peck, upon the Hull Pochet, and the house in which Mr. Etty's father then resided in Church-lane, as a confectioner, is still occupied by a brother of the deceased, in the same business, in his 70th year. The whole of his property has gone to another brother at Scarborough. Tho deceased, throughout life, mani fested kindly feelings towards all his brothers, and par ticularly the one in Hull, who bought him the first box of paints, and still possesies under the paternal roof some of the earliest productions of his pencils.—Eastern Counties Herald. We regret to announce the death, at Malvern, on Monday last, of Mr. Patrick Fraud. Tytler, the well knowa historian of Scotland. By his death a literary pension reverts to the Crown. Though I may _ see you again, dear Mary, for many months, yet you refuse me one kiss as a remembrance ?" 2 "Ohl I am a great girl now, Edward, and shall not let any one kiss me again." "But I have known you from such a little child, ought not this to be my authority ? You know lam your old friend, and am sorry to part from you with out a token of our friendship." " Well, but I am a great girl, and I ought not." Edward Morgan was about to leave the village of -, to enter upon a situation in London, and the above dialogue took place between him and Mary Warner, on the evening before his departure; for he would leave in the morning before the household were up. Edward was a young man of nineteen or twenty years of age, and had known Mary 'Warner since she was a child of ten years. She was now fourteen, and though not to be called handsome, had an expression of sweet sensitiveness and of quiet good-temper, plainly marked in her face. To attempt to reason was useless, and with a heart tco full to talk, Edward could but faintly c xpress his sorrow at the one boon denied him, and bidding her good-by, retired to his chamber, concealing his grief as best he might. Mary Warner lost Ler father when she was but an infant, and compelled by circumstances, went to live with her kind old grandmother. Being naturally a child of affectionate disposition, a fond love sprang up between them ; and the pain of separation, when in her tenth year she came to live with and assist her mother, was mutually severe to grandmother and child. But with the happy nature of children, love soon transports itself: the affections must find a rest ing-place, the soul needs a confident, and who can claim so strong a right as a mother ? It was at her home that Edward Morgan first saw the child. Himself very young, and of a warmly sensitive nature, he had witnessed with unconscious sympathy, the playful simplicity of little Mary, and had been to her a tried friend as "jumper," or the recipient of the exuberant overflow of kisses which the pure heart of a child lavishes upon any one it loves. The calls of business often separated the young friends, months intervened between their seeing each other, but scarcely any alteration took place in the simple de light of renewed meetings. And oh who will deny that these moments of unconscious love are the dearest in our lives, when the satisfaction of present happiness leaves no void, suffers no hop e t o i ntru d e, but is true enjoyment, innocent rapture. When conviction that we love first comes home to us, we are from that moment subject to fear and hope ; the pre sent becomes only the road to a future, and is impa tiently endured. Anxiety lends its aid to fever us with its promptings, and we then feel the pains of love, as before we enjoyed its pleasures. For the love spontaneously springing up between the boy and girl is of the holiest nature, and partakes of the passivity of the purest feeling. "A great girl, and ought not," repeated Edward as he sat down to think. " How cruel to doubt me, or to distrust her own faith in me. It is with none but the sincerest feeling, Mary, that I hoped for thy love." Edward went to sleep, pondering why such thoughts should influence his dear girl. And he comforted himself by lying it to the world's teaching, that what a child may do with propriety a girl may not do. But he would have envied any envied any one but himself a kiss. He relied upon his love to overcome all opposition, unmindful in his enthusiasm that older people include policy in their creed. Edward Morgan came to town with hope beating in his heart, yet scarcely daring to indulge in its visions. The reflection afforded by leisure, soon con vinced him of the nature of his feeling fur his friend. Day after day he longed to hear from her, and would have written every day, but restrained his love that he might not appear impatient. However, many little exchanges of kindness took place, and somehow or other, Christmas found the young friends together in the village again, and the two or three days of conversation and playfulness endeared them still more to each other. Her growing shyness he watched with a cool but emphatic love, and he thought that he was not unregarded by her whom he loved so fondly. The parting was a greater misfortune than ever, and it seemed like a pilgrimage to some un known land, to go, and leave behind him all he held so dear. Another Christmas passed, and a little present made to Mary induced her mother to request that no more such gifts should be made, for people began to talk, and her daughter was so young, that she thought it much better all intercourse should cease. We have said that Edward had a sensitive heart, and this announcement rendered him almost speech less. His love had so grown from friendship, that it seemed like denying him a sister's affection to deprive him of liberty to correspond with his Mary. But he ' said little; at a distance from her whom he loved, forbidden by the mother, he would not endeavour to ga'n from the daughter a word in his favour. Ear nestly he besought Mrs. Warner to allow him to continue his acquaintance with Mary, but she as resolutely forbade him ; he could only gain from her her decided opinion that it would be for the best to separate for two or three years, though she would give no reason for her decision. A positive order accompanied this letter, that no hope was to be in dulged et present under these circumstances. Love, indeed, could not be extinguished. Often did Edward grieve at the distance which sundered them, believing that his presence might have rendered all again happy, and he could not determine what had caused such sudden change of feeling. Once more he wrote ;no reply was vouchsafed. Sorrow now seemed a fixed companion with him, and he was a solitary soul among many busy and thoughtless acquaintances. " And you never doubted my truth, Mary; never believed me to be so fickle-minded, as to be smitten by the first pretty face I might see, when remembrance ever kept your features present to me." "Oh ! no, I could not have thought so. I did not understand, until we parted for the last time how dear you were to me. My mother no doubt meant well, but did she act wisely ? To separate two true hearts, because I was but little more than a child." " My love was too lasting to be destroyed, Mary, but not too indifferent to be wounded. It was torture to send a loving spirit away from its idol, sacrificing present happiness to a future possibility. Do you not think that the love which is developed with the child, has the surest foundation, and should be equally valued with the feeli ng i nsp i re d b y maturer years ?"..' "I did and do think so, Edward, for our interest was in all good things. It was your sympathy with the artless pleasures of childhood, that led me as a child to be pleased at your notice ; the same feeling expanded and ripened into sincere affection, and time has but shown the truth of our simple instinct. My dear mother now believes that no harm would have come of our continued acquaintance, that an obedi ence to a foolish custom was but following an error, although the intention on her part was a good one." "I do not blame your mother, Mary; she, I am sure, did what she thought was the best. But what need for separation of young hearts when the mu tual attraction is of so certain a nature as was ours. What but sorrow can be the result—days of restless anxiety, when the time might have been irnprovingly passed ? Where intelligent feeling is manifested, be assured no probation is required. The best discipline is the converse of the parties implicated. A separation may be the means of other con nexions being formed ; feelings dulled by hopelessness may be triumphantly spoken of as evidence of a pas sion which was but fanciful, not deep, but are they not stronger evidence of a disappointed faith ? It is not a tantalizing deprivation which persuades us to set greater store upon possession ; the cognizance of beauty is the best warrant for its due appreciation ; let us not think that the separation of two kind spirits increases the love between them. It may give it dif ferent forms of expression, may lead it into different trains of thought, but cannot add a grain to its ster ling weight." I feel that you are right, dear Edward ; the fears I endured for the three years of our reparation were bitter in many respects. True, I had many happy days and many happy hopes in the future ; the realiza tion, however, of happiness in the present seemed impossible. Time has brought - all things round as we could best wish, though accidents might have produced results that I trembled to think of. Oh every day I feel it truer that our souls are linked in fellowship by the undying power of sympathy." As we have seen, our young friends were enabled to fulfil the aspirations most dear to them. 'We are anxious to draw attention to the commonly received opinion that "absence but endears." We humbly think this must depend upon the peculiar nature of the feelings in question. Where intelligent love in its simplicity sees its own strength, it is impatient of coetradiction ; its fervency cannot be exalted by , denial. Should we succeed in raising a little thought ful discussion upon this point—if only to induce considerallin before action—we shall do all we hope to do, and perhaps htlp to reconcile the too often contrary decisions or the old and young. Let mothers endeavour to guide aright the impulses of jllvenility, foster affection whenever it is discer nible, and it Love doss rule the world, or should : they will he doing the greatest good in the most pleasurable manner.
