YOUTHFUL LOVE. The following law puzzle
was put to us by young Barrister during the
last Spring circuit Suppose fems sole offull
age contracts a debt and then marries young
man under age; how ia the debt to be recovered?
You cannot sue the wife without joining the
husband; and it is we'll settled prlnci pie of
law, that an infant cannot be sued, exec pit for
necessariss. This question arose in case then
actually pending in the Court of Common Pleas
for Pickens District, South Carolina An old
lady, upwards of sizty gears Of age, living in
that district, had lately smitten an amoFous
youth of nineteen, by whom she was led to the
alter, where mutual VOWS passed between them,
she TO love and obey, he to comfort and protect !:
Some time previous to her marriage, this fair
damsel had contracted a small debt, on which
she was then sued with her husband. The
plea of infancy was put in by her espoused lord
and master, to this action; but we believe II
avaled him not, as there was a proper reioin
der, stating all the circumstances.

.ATHANAsIAN CREED. When the late Rev.
Mr.. Wright had a small living in the west of
England, he refused TO read the Athanasian
Creed, though repeatedly desired to do so by
his parishioners. The parishioners complained
to the Bishop, who ordered it to be read. Now
thus creed is appointed to be said or sung, and
Mr.. Wright, accordingly, on the following
Sunday, thus addressed his congregation =
Next follows Athanasiuss Creed, either to be
said or sung, and with Heavens leave, I'll sing
it: Now Clerk, mind what you are about"
When they both struck up, and sung it with
great glee, to fox hunting tune, which, hav-
ing previously practsed, was we'll performed.
The parishioners again met, and informed their
Bishop OF what they called the indecorum-but
the Bishop said their Pastor was right, for it
was so ordered, upon which they declared that
they would dispense with the creed in future !;
nor did Mr.. Wright ever after either read or
sing itY-Literdry Panorama.

LOVE AND THE SEASONS. BEAUTY in the flow'r and tree, Beauty OCT the hill and lea, Fragrant breezes, freshful showers, Smiling sky and budding bowers
 Laugh we now and jocund play,
 Love is born-make holiday. Joys the earth in fruitful teemmg, Smileth Love with manhood beaming; Summer, Natures matron bride, Greeteth Love in lusty pride.
 Laugh we yet, and jocund play,
 Love attaineth manhood's day. Autumn comes! All hail to thee, Love, of doubtful augury! Varied now thy mixed career, Mimicking tho varied year Now of Spring a gentle gleam- Now the flash of Summer beam Now anticipation's pains Shade thy brow, and Winter reigns- Now again thy dubious mind Feels emotion undefned:
 Shall we smile or weep for thee,
 Love, of doubtful augury2 Winter comes with chilling face (Who withstands his cold embracef Gone is youth and youthful glee, Fled is manhoods bravery; Gone is cen the fitful feeling Der the heart of Autumn stealing.
 Laugh no more and cease to play.

An Item for Ornithoiogists.-A short time ago, (says the Philadelphia Chronicle of May 2Oth) it was observed that large number of those birds, commonly called chimney swallows, were beginning to convene on farm, near Painsvile, Ohio. They formed themselves into regular lines, took circui- tous flight round large sycamore, and entered it's trunk by the hole at the top several persons resolv ed to ascertain the number of swallows thus con- cealed and for that purpose closed mp their place of entrance, and cut an opening at the bottom of the tree. On viewing the cavity inside, it was found six or seven deep, packed regularly on each other round the whole extent of the hollow. Marshas were appointed to take the of this feathered community, who counted to the amount of 3,60O, when, owing to the interference of some volunteer assistants, an ieguary in counting rock place, and the remainder of the swallows which was supposed
 to have been more than equal in number to those talk en down, was suffered to escape without ennumera- ton.

When pro- pery soaked, the back must be well sponged The printed surface is then completely covered with caustic varnish, and immediately placed under the wood, rubbing it down with piece of fine cambric that it may adhere uniformly.

Po,rer of the Mind in rosisfiuo D

Po,rer of the Mind in resisting Diseases of the BO- dy.-The production of physical changes in il sud den and sensible way, comparatively rare, and difficult to comprehend. Yet medical men do some- times have opportunity of observing changes pro. duced by this power, which might appear incredible, and almost miraculous, 10 those not aware of the force of mental operation on the human organs I could adduce many suchtcases Perhaps it would be proper to state one or two in detail.
 "When, some years ago, the metallic tractors were in the height of their reputation for the cure of diseases by external application to the part affect ed, the following experiment was performed by Dr Haygarth, of Bath. Two tractors were prepared. not of metal, but of substance different from the genuine tractors, and made to resemble them These were applied, in number of instances with all the good effect of the real tractors. Among other re- markable cures was that oi person with contrac- ton of the knee joint from disease of six months duration. After few minutes application, this man was requested to hs limb, to the snprize of all present he was able to walk about the room. Such instances are not very usual. Many empirics suc- ceed by calling into action the same principle.

It was about the size of an egg had lasted two years, and was very hard that considered any attempt to dissipate it by medicine to be vain. and advised it's removal by an operation. To this the patient could not bring her mind therefore, to satisfy her wish, directed some applications of con siderable activity to be made to the part, and these she pursued for number of weeks, without any change. After this she called on me, and with some hesitation begged to know, whether an application recommended to her, would in my opinion be safe This consisted in applying the hand oft dead man three times to the diseased part. One of her neigh bors now lay dead, and she had an opportunity of trying the experiment, if thought it not dangerous At first was disposed to divert her from it; but, recollectng the power of the imagination, gravely | assured her that she might make the trial without apprehensions of serious consequences. A while after. she presented herself once more and with a smiling countenance, informed me that she had used this remedy and no other since saw her; and on examining for the tumor found it had disappear ed."-Dr Wdrren, of Boston.
