Infant EducGti0n.--I once lived in a family where was a little girl, between two and three years old. interesting and lovely
 when herintlinations were not crossed. but
 when offended, inpetuous beyond any thing I had ever witnessed. in one of her age. At such times no one of, the family but her father, and he only with great difi- cuity,s could enforce obedience. l am fond of children, and she used to come to my chamber. and share in my attention in she dining room and parlor. She was fond of looking at tho prints in some of the volumes on my table; and if I took up a book below stairs, would come and want 10 see the pictures" I am busy now: 20 to your piays.'' She would hang her head, slip away toher play things and soon forget, for tho time, what had happened. .s'Marion," would then say. come and see the pictures" She would run to me, and after having her curiosity gratifed for a moment, would be told, s'that will do: 20 to your play again 5" and the book would perhaps be laid aside. She quick ly,learned that her will was alwayssto subs init to mine, though never required without any apparent reasoT-and when told 10 T0IfHtu uVItIS WAsot WuS tutRlORUs4 10 do what she did not choose, though she would sometimes say, | don't want to- would eventually yield {, yet ! never gave her word or look of anger.

 Children. have observation, memory, and judgment, to certain extent, and by decis- ion, irmncss, and consistency, may easily be made obedient. But allow then, the next hour or moment. what is nov refused, and that with no apparent reasonb but to still their passions or prevent their teasing, and you bring trouble on yourself and them. In your anger and dependency, refuse them what in happier moments you allow, and they will assuredi ysmark the difference and its cause, and will suffer from it. So < far as my observation extends. tfose par- ARts have been most successful, have had I the most obedient, dntifnl. and affectionate children, who have, made it a rule, aeUer to yeprore then in anger. neCer. to grant .them any indusgencies that tend tc, their injury, nor ever so prohibit any that migkt be in- ,ocent, aud dt the same time consistent. | may add, that such children are. taught not to expect their wishes to be granted by l asking second tinae. and, that all the in-

, THE MALE coouErrE.

There is nothing on earthmore despic- able than your acknowledged male ca-s quette. He is m anomaly in the human, character, r,-a monster in the moral world.
 Heplays a part for which nature never de- signed him--ihe Joan d Arc of civil life. tCoquetry, with a female, is pardonable-- for itis natural We believe all the sex
 are more or less inclined to it. Iii is not confined to one country or one religion.
 It is perceptible in the tawny Indian girl
 and the dark faced African. It flannts in
 the atmosphere of fashionable extrava- gance, and looks out from pair of. rogue- &ish eyess beneath the drab bonnet of the Quakeross. II is part of the female character, ,-and, with some restrictions, a very excellent part Itpromotes personal nsatness and decorum of habit--it bends every faculty of the mind, to the desire ot pleasing--it deveiopes every latent charm of intellect It is this which renders the conversation of a wonah, even of ordinary talents, frequently far more agreeable than that pf man, whose mind has been high ly cultivated. and whose powers of fancy are brilliant and superior.

Even the devout grow languid; persons offeeble constitutions are exhausted; and the end of the prayer is welcomed as relief both to body and mind.

premature and disgusting fondness, and cold hearted vanity and self love.
 But your man-coquette (Heaven foFfend us from him)-he is undeserving of the least charity. With him the words of the Preacher are verified, ss Vanity, vanity all is vanity" It is a cold and selfish purposes hollow hearted love of triumph "a brutal carclessness of wronged and outraged feelings morbid desire of inter- esting in himself, hearts, of whose bangs and struggles he recks not--whose affec- ton he would call forth, that the multitude may envy him is possession, not to meet ity t,ll flow of confiding tenderness, by the sympathy of his own cold and indurated bosom. It is ansnnpro6table monopoly of that attention from the other sex, which he scorns to repay with honorable love.
 Miserable is tue triumph of the trIficr !!
 What will it avail him, that in the throng- ed assemblies of his visiting, there are hearts, which beat quicker at his coming {; and eyes that glisten and cheeks which glow, as his softened voice whispers it's re- peated freachery, when he knows, that these hearts are yet to wither with hopeless land unreturEed affection-that these eyes are to grow dim with tears, and these
 cheeks pale with the unsleeping agony of outraged confidence, and sighted love Tho male coquette is a fool, as well as criminal. Unlike other workers of ini-
 quity he derives not even atemporary good from his vileness. He but ministers to the deprayed appetite of his vanity. He (" "sows the wind" and it is proper that he should !. reap the whirlwind." Tn some men who possess real powers of fascination coquetry is dangerous but in the far greater number, it is simply and purely lu- dicrous.-N. E. ReUiew.

BEAuTY.-That is not the most perfect
 beauty which, in public, would attract the
 greatest observation nor even that which the statuary would admit to be a fauliless piece of clay, kneaded up with blood. But that is true beauty which has not only a substance, but spirit---a beauty that we must intimately know, justly to appreciate "a beauty lighted up in conversation, where the mind shines as it were through its casket; where, in the language of the poet, "the eloquent blood spoke in her cheeks, and so distinctly wrought, that we might almost say her body thought" An order and a mode of beauty which the more we know, the more we accuse our selves for not having before discovered those thousand graces which bespeak that their owner has soul. This is that beau- ty which never cloys, possessing charms as rcsistless as the fascinating Egyptian, for which Antony paid the bauble of the world; a beauty like the rising of his own Italian suns, always enchanting, never the same.
