A VIRGIN HEART.

There is nothing under Heaven is
 dellciousas hepossession of pure, fresh, and immutable affections. The most lelicitous moment of mans life; the
 most ecstatic to all his emotions and sym pathies, is that in which he receives an avowal of affection from the idol of bis heart. Tines springs offeeling whenin their youthful purity, are as fountains of un- sealed and gushing tenderness the spell
 that once draws them forth is the mystic
 light of future years, and undying mem ory. Nothinginlife issop pure and devo- ted as Woman's love. IL matters not whether 1t be for husbandor child, sister or brother, 1t is the same pure and un- queachable hame-the same constant and immaculate glow of feeling, whose most proper food is misfortune. and whose undeniabie touchstone is trial. Do but give her one token of loye-one kind-word or gentle look, even if it be amid deselation and death; the feelings of that faithful heart will gush forth as a torrent, in despite of every earthly bond or mercenary tie.-More priceless than the gems of Golconda is Virgins heart, and more devoted than the idola- try to Mecca, is " Woman's love. TFlere is no sordid view, no qualifying sell-in- terests in the feeling. It is a principle and characteristic of her nature, fac ulty and an infatuation which absorbs and concentrates all the feryour of her soul and all the depths of her bosom. would rather be the idol of one unsul- lied and unpraetised heart, than the Mon- arch of empires. l would rather pos sess the immaculate and impassioned devotion of one high souled and enthu- siastic Virgin, than the sycophantic flaw nings of millions. There IS more thriIE ing felicity derived from all union of true, guileless and uneontaminated hearts, than all the conquests of Alex ander, the wisdom of Socrates, or the wealth of CrGsus would afford. .-The general world knows nothing of these things. None can appreciate the refine ments of pure feeling, but those who, by nature or some peculiar property of the mind, are qualified to drink of the depths of it's gushing and sparkling fountains. None can know the Elysi- nm ot possessif g a heart, until they feel the value of a gem SC priceless-until they can think of its embodyings as something too holy to be mingled with
 the grosser images of passion and hu- manlty, until they at last imagine the spirit of a seraph has been elothed with aform of perishable immortality. When

THE GIFT

Take, oh take, the Gift bring; Not the blushing rose of spring, Not a gem from india's cave, Not the coral of the wave, Not wreath to deck thy brow, Not ring to bind thy VOW Brighter is the gift l bring, Friendships purest offering. Take the Gift! oh, may it be, Treasured long and dear by thee. Wealth may buy thee richer toys, Love may weave thee brighter joys, Hope may sing a sweeter lay;
 Pleasure shed softer ray;
 But not wealth norlove may twine, Wreath so pure as this of mine; Hope nor pleasure spread hue, Half so lasting, half so true--
 Keep, oh keep, tue gift bring, 1t is friendships offering!

 Different materials, wood, stone, and a kind of sandy earth, were used in the construction Of these houses; the wood was principally that of elders, willows, and peplars, which grew on the bank of the river, and were most easily cut, stripped of their bark, and transported, than heavier and more solid trees could have been. The beavers cut them of about foot from the ground. They do this Ill sitting posture, and enjoyat the same time the pleasure of gnawing the bark and wood, which is their favorite food. After the cabins are finished, the beavers employ themselves in laying lin ample stores of provisions. This seemed to be done in exact proportion to the size of the cabin and the number of its inhabitants; and the Indians told us that they never pillaged from one another. Some families consisted of three CT four individuals; the largest cabins contained thirty, but generally there were from ten to fourteen inhablt- ing one dwelling.
 They never quarrel with one another; when danger approaches, they give mo- tice by striking their tails Oil the water. Some, on such occasions, plunge into the water for security; others conceal themselves within thei;. wall walls, which no animal will attempt either to enter or O. yerturn.
 was charmed with the neatnessz Of their houses; the floors were spread with green branches of the box and fir trees, andWere alwaysquite clean. The window that faces the water answers for balcony to receive the fresh air, and for the purpose ofbathing. Those windows are made high enough to pre- vent being stopped up with ice, which is often two or three feet thick on the river; its very important to the beavers to keep up free communication with the water; they often swim for a con- siderable distance under the ice; and their fayorite position, when in thein houses, seemed to be sitting on aR end at their windows, with the lower part of the body in water.
 In September, they collect their pro- visions. From this time till the close of winter, they remain in their cabins, enjoying the fruits of their labors, and the pleasure of society. This is their time of repose. in the spring they se- parate; the males retire into the coun- try to enjoy the pleasure and the fruits of the season. They return, however, occasionally, 10 their cabins, but dwell there no more. The females continue in the cabins, and are occupied in nufs- ing, protecting and rearing their young. which are in a few weeks in a condition to follow their dams. The beavers do not assemble again till autumn, unless tlleir banks or cabins be einjured by inun- dations, for whenthis happens, they sud- denly collect their forces and repair the breaches that have been made.

We find the following courteous re- tort in the Harrisburg lperll.) Iatelli- gencer of Friday. It is part of a legis- lative debate.
 " Mr. Graft, young man of consid- erable promise, from Allegany county, having thought proper to answer Mir. Martin, of Philadelphia county, on the subject of connecting an important sul- ject with party feeling, Mir. Martin thought proper to answer MT. Graft, by saying that he would quote the follow ing poetry for the gentleman's instruc- tlOn:-
 < Large vessels can-~may venture more, But little Craj7 must keep the shore"
 MT. Graft replied, that when the gen. tleman offered argument, he would con descend 10 answer him; but as he had been pleased to amuse the house with poetry, he would add the remainder of the couplet:-

Original .anecdote.--Not long since, q certain Parson, of small, yet eccentric talents, made an eccentric discourse from the text which says, the devil was 2 liar from the beginning; in which he gave his Satanic Majesty sound drub- ping, (to use common phrase, making use of the plainest, and most abusive epithets. After the sermon had ended, the Parson and an Attorney who was present commenced conversation about the Parsons discourse. The Attorney facetiously observed, thathe thought the Parson had treated his Satanic Majesty

.Mdcready.-The strongly-marked pc culiarities in the acting oi this eminent tragedian, his pompous air in conyersa- ton, and the vast importance he was accustomed to attach to the minutia of stGge business, as it is technically termed, are the frequent subjects of greenroom wit. His voice, look and tread, are per haps more frequently burlcsqued among the members of the dramatic profession than those ofany other individual, and there is oend tothe jokes thatafecracl- ed at his expense, iii every American Theatre chheappeared. The chill ing reserve with which advances to cul- tivate Mir. Macready's acquaintance wereusually met, and tlleseyerity of his reproof if all individualon the stage with him neglected to advance a foot, olifta finger, to frown or smile, precisely as directed to rehearsal-were excessively annoying. and the tricks contriyed to yex him in the hepresenceof the audience were endless, and are told of to this day with great effect, and are always responded to with a hearty laugh.
 We remember that on one occasion, when that very clever actor, Mir. Reed, was playing Gesler, to the Tell of Mac ready, the latter hearing the creak of boot far behind him, broke off in the midst of an impassioned speech, and turning to the quarter whence the noise proceeded, d-d the eyes of the perpe- trator with an energy which brought down a round of applause; many per sons mistal<ing the ebullition of the ac- tors own passion for the forcible lan- guage of the author.
 At the Park Theatre, New York, when Mr. Macready was playing Mac beth, he had ordered the murderers face to be stained in a particular place, but his direction, dccideatally, ofcourse, was not compiled with. Accordingly, in the banquet scene, the stately Mac beth stalked deliberately up to the ruff fan, laid his fingers lightly on his breast, and spoke this speech.
 How now there's blood upon thy face And d--n you--on the aoroag side loo. z
 The people in the side boxes were con vulsed with laughter, and Macready was in a towering passiops-but the murderer was no where to be found.

this wild dream rningles with the colder and more calculating visions of lie the world may put forth its anathemas;; ]; fortune may shower down its adyersl- ties-but in vain even the sword of Az raelwould scarcely destroy the unutter- 1 able ecstacies of this Heayen-descended happiness.
 4 Wedding.--There is something in the ceremony of wedding that exeites mingled emotions. The youthful pair pledgng reciprocal fidelity and alice tloll--the eomplacent smile of parents in the act of yielding to the protection of another a daughter--the joyous faces of youthful friends convened to witness the ceremoDy-the solemn accents of him who pronounces before high heaven the irrevocabIe words of union between kindred spirits-the sacred stiffness that peryades the assembled guests during the act of plighting mutual faith at the hymenial a!tar-all combine to softer. down the passions that rankle in the
 breast, and 10 begct feeling that par
 takes of the serenity and calmness of a fairy paradise. When the ceremony is over-when the s.twainn are made one. how changed the scene.-tho mutual
 interchange of salutations-the cordial
 expression of gentle and happy wishes
 for future felicity-the smiling counte- Inances while partaFing of the social cheer of the hospitable board-the witching tales of youthful loves, riven hearts and hair-breaath escapes from l"Cupid's flmy web''-all unite to neu- tralize the stiffness of a previous mo.
 ment, and to introduce the hustle of youthful gaiety, and the din of happy
 conviviai party. Under the influence
 of such hilafity of feeling. one could al most wish that the occasionthat gave it birth were perpetual-at least, that a wedding withits acconapaniments would
 continue, as in some Eastern countries, for forty days. Why are not weddings
 more frequent? Surely they are joyous seasons, and there are rusty bachelors
 and musty maidens enough to prevent
 their being like angels visits, few and
 far between. But ah here's the rub
 the ehoney moon lasts notforeyer-there's
 a second edition of l:aatrimony in press that often frighteHs tinorous souls into i fits of the blues at the bare prospect of
 wading through a concern so volumin-
 ous. The after-part, at least view Of it in the minds eye, haunts the imagi=
 nation-spoils the relish of the story, and like developing the secret of a well written novel or romance, prevents a
 farther advance than bare peep at the
 threshold and view in perspective of the doings of others. In looking dowh the vista of succeeding years, the sa5- stdntials are imagined necessary to SUD- ply the expenditures of matrimonial journey. The cold6loodcd think so- and elln3ight you undertake to thaw with breath the ice of the poles, as to lindle to fame affections that have lain dormant for years, and become case- hardened byimaginary whims and fan eifal prediiections and prejudices.
