RAILWAY COMMUNICATION WITH THE NORTH OF 000 T!
LAND.—It will no doubt be interesting to the travelling
public, and to lessees of grouse and deer shootings, to
know that, with the exception of 18 miles (between
Elgin and Keith),,there is now unbroken railway com-
munication between London and Inverness. The last
finished portion of the Inverness and Aberdeen Juno-
tiou (the portion between Dalvey and Elgin) is now
open, and there can be no doubt that by the 12th Aug.
the entire lino will be in working operation; after which
period, the mails leaving L )radon at 8 p.m., will arrive
at the Highland capital about the same hour on the fol-
lowing evening. The only engineering difficulty, it Way
be mentioned, in the portion of the line unfinished is the
bridge over the Spey, which is proceeding satitifac•
tray.

BOYHOOD or LORD BACON.—Francis Bacon was born
in the Strand, iu 1051. His health was delicate ; and by
his gravity of carriage, and love of sedentary pursuits,
he was distinguished from other boys. While a mere
child, he stole away from his playfellows to a vault in
James's-fields, to investigate the cause of a singular echo
which he had observed there ; and when only twelve,
he busied himself with speculations on the art of leger-
demain. At thirteen he was entered at Trinity College,
Cambridge, which he left after a residence of three
years, " carrying with him a profound contempt for the
course of study pursued there, a fixed conviction that the
system of academic education in England was radically
vicious, a just scorn for the trifles on which the followers
of Aristotle had wasted their powers, and no great reve-
rence for Aristotle himself," kMacaulay.) Such was the
foundation of Bacon's philosophy.—limbs' School-. Days
of Eminent Men.
YOUNG LADIES.-0110 of the great social evils of this
age is admitted to be the reluctance of our young men
to early marriages. They won't marry now, we are told,
as they used to do, and ought to do, on 3001. a-year.
Depend upon it, in many and many a case it is not the
odd hundred or two that is wanting—it's the attraction.
We have lost that joyous and familiar intercourse be-
tween neighbours' families, where young people's indivi-
dualities had space and opportunity to develops them-
selves, and heart met heart. Our modish Cupid has
overstrung his bow—his arrows don't hit home. Young
ladies hide away the key of their hearts so carefully tkat
nobody thinks it worth looking for. Who is to choose
"the one" out of a bevy of proper-behaved damsels like
a row of hollyhocks, differing only in height and shape
and colour ? They all look alike, dress alike, talk alike,
and walk alike ; and, for anything that appears to the
contrary, think alike and feel alike. Why, such a choice
is an act of deliberate intention—matrimony pre-
pense ; few men hive the nerve to venture upon it. No
wonder they calculate the probable butchers' and
bakers' bill before they take such a plunge as that.
Don't fsncy that I talk like a cynical old bird, not to be
o
caught with chaff. I take as the exponent of what my
feelings would be if I were young, and open as I
once war to the conviction of bright eyes, my nephew,
Jack Hawthorne, not long home from the Crimea, mix
feet one, independent, hairy as a Sky terrier, brave as a
y.

On the following morning they started for their horses,
which had been turned out on the previous night, when
one of theta made off, and his owner when last seen was
in pursuit. Not returning in the course of the day, his
mate and a black fellow started in quest of him, and
although they came upon the tracks, both of man and
horse, they did not succeed in coming up with either.
On the following miming two black fellows started upon
the track, which they ftllawed up a distance of 10 miles
in the direction of the La plan, observing as they passed
along that in some places the imprint of his feet were

stances it was ev dent that he had overtaken his animal
and occasionally mount Id him. After beating about
until completely wearied, they came upon the horse,
but saw nothing of the missing man, whose only chance
of safety consisted in his making for the Lachlan—a die-
tance of about 20 miles from the spot where the horse
was found ; but as there is not a drink of water in the
intervening country, it is much to be feared that he has
perished. When he started away he had upon his per-
son from 300/. to 4001, in notes, which he intended to
lay out in stock. It will be recollected that it ITA3 in
the same fearfully arid country that Mr. Stewart lost
his life some seven or eight years ago, from thirst—a
fate which in all probability has overtaken the union!
