The Railway, with the operations connected
with it, is deservedly an object OF interest to
every stranger VINO visits oar city, and there
are few who do not witness these operations.
Our towns people feel lively interest IN this
work, and partly il is presumed from having
read pretty accurate descriptions OF 1t. Not
wi:hstanding these descriptions, we believe
very few Of our citizens are familiar even With
the manner Of constructing and operating this
railway; and that much less number Of them
are acquainted with the whole process Of eXca
varing he stone, loading The cars, add the
transportation OF many tons weight with pair
! OF horses. This, OF itself, is well worth a ride
10 Quincy. Additional induceme nls however
are soon to be offered fol spending a day in
that pie asant town. Al .'.e crossing of the
road by the Railway, spacious and elt CANT
stone hotel has been erected, with ali the APP
| purtenans es for amusement and recreation, and
where also ral retirement may be en- Dyed by
those disposed toiseek it. The House is not
yet finished, but will probably be open Tor the
reception Of company in week or two a, far

railway company's quarry, has been raised a
square tower Of one, some forty feet in heigh',
commanding view Of the harbor and country

Mt know OF another place within ;bc same dis,

one above mentioned. Boston Patriot.

two countries, and not by the Court: this Court
will only inquire whether the place In question
is actually in the posses ion, and under lac Ju-
risdiction and laws VI this Province; and il so,
the Court will maintain that jurisdiction, and
continue the exercise and protection oil those
laws. until some act of the Kings government

The only principle truly applicable to the case
This principle has al,eady been acled upon IN

Falmouth in the Vice Admiralty Court IN looo:
in which the question Of right 10 the lsiand in
Passamaquoddy Bay was n'ade; and i, was ruiz
ed Sy Mr.. Justice Bototord that 1t was mater

finding the tree Islands before named TO be un-
der the actual possession and jurisdiction OF 'he
the U. States, he applied he principle oil the
law Of nations, applicable 70 water boundary
between two different countries, and directed
his attention solely 10 the point Whether the
vessel laded her cargo on the British SIDE OF a
middle line drawn between tMese Islands, thas
in The possession of the United States, and The
British Islands opposite. 1t thus appears that
this dcclrine Of taking the actual state oil things
as we find them, and applying The law accord

vince IN an instance where it was favourable
10 the citizs rs Of the United States; and This
! Court has no hesitation IN applying The same
doctrine which il tonaiders the irue doctrine 10
! the present case. Il 10 be observed, that the
defendant, in the present case, has given no CIV
! iden whatever on the placcln question being
! in the possession or under the jurisdiction oil
| the United STAKES; that he does not appear to
| be in any respect an agent Of that government,
or acting under lis authority; and that what has
been done must be considered as being alloge-
Their the acts OF unauthorized individuals.
The Judge then reviewed ihe testimony: after
about ali hours delibera,ion, the Jury returned
a verdict of Guilty.
| On being brought up for sentence, May 10
| the defendant said, tha, having been brought
here and made amenabIe to the jurisdiction

GUESS This word is often quoted as pecu
liar TO the Yankee dialect, and attempts are
constantly made TO stamp it with derision by
those who seize every opportunity to ridicue
the mariners and customs Of The New England
people. That i, is more frequently spoken by
the Yankees Imam any other people would not
wish to deny, because think il an evidence OF
their good Taste TO give preference to such an
admirable word. II is almost the only word
in our language that has always the same
meaning, and get awakens different associa-
tons; kind OF scIf.illuslra,ing property that

HINTS FOR YOUNG LADIES.

If young women waste their time IN
trivial amusement, the prime season tor
Improvement, which is between the ages
of sixteen and twenty, they will hereafter
regret bitterly the loss, when they come
to feel themselves inferior in knowledge
to almost every one they converse with;
and above all, if they should ever be
mothers, when they feel their inability
to direct and assist the pursuits OF their
children, they will then find ignorance
severe modification and real evil. -

application, will 60 much farther than

of her influence in society, and conse-
ouently both her usefulness and respec-
liability are impaired
sBut do you not think, mamma, that
much of the dislike to Catharine arises
from envy of her superiour talent and
beauty ("
tSome of it, undoubtedly, but most OF
it from the faults Of character l have
mentioned, which, far from considering
faults, she cherishes as virtues, and
nothing but her own experience will
convince her that she is mistaken. She
belongs not to that class of happy beings
who learn from the experience Of 9TH
ers; those who learn from their own
are said TO be the ,uise ones. When she
has so learned, Catharine will be pat
tern for her sex, and l shall rejoice in
her as daughter
Mrs. Montague little thought how
soon Catharinc was destined to grow
wise by experience, and her character
to become purified by adversely. The
sudden death of her grandfather, and
tho failure of her guardian, deprived her
of a home and the means Of support.
1t is true that from her friends, aid
and sincere offers were made OF all that
was desirable, and that the affectionate
heart of Ellen was panied by Catharine' s
resolute refusal to share with her the
home which, as the wife of MIR. Grant,
she hastened 10 offer.
But Catharine was firm in her decis-
ion to depend upon her own exer-
tons-and the most eligible plan that
offered was the instruction Of youth.
Here began her discipline and conse-
quent improvement. 1t would not be
pleasant, though it might be useful to
follow her through all her trials. Suffice
it to say that they were such as correc'

due; and third persons will have pene-
tration enough to soc, and may have
malice enough to remark, The want OF
il in his wife. He must be a husband
unworthy of you who could bear the de-
gradation OF suffering this in silence
The idea of power on either side should
be totally banished from the system, 1t
is not sufficient that the husband should
never have occasion to regret the want
of it; the wife must so behave, that he
may never be conscious ofpossessing it,
"But my Julia, if mothers fond
ness deccives me not stands not in much
need Of cautions like these. l cannot
allow myself the idea of her wedding
man on whom she would not wish to be
dependant, or whose inclinations tenn
per like hers would desire to CONTROL
She will be more in danger from that
softness, that sensibllity Of soul, which
will yield too much perhaps for the hap
piness of both. The Office of wife in
cludes the exertion of friend: good
one must frequently strengthen and sup
port that weakness, which bad one
would endeavor to overcome. There
are situations where it will not be enough
to love, to cherish, to obey: she must
teach her husband to be at peace with
himself, to be reconciled to tho world,t
