Personal A ppearance.

This is one of the things of accident, resting
with nature. No man or woman can form their
own persons, and none should be praised or bla-
med on this head. The disposition for looking
well, is running half the young people in the
world--causing them to study their glasses, and
paint or patch, instead of pursuing that which
is lasting and solid the cultivation of the mind.
It is always mark of a weak mind, if not n
bad heart, to hear person praise or blame a.
mother OIL the ground alone, that they are hand
some or homely. Actions should be the test
and liberal source of conduct pursued to all.
1t matters little whether man is tall or short
whether the blood status the cheek or runs in
another channel. Fashion makes the difference
as to the beauty. The lily is as sweet, if not
so gay, as the rose, and it bears no thorns about
it, AS to appearance, fashion should not bear
upon that which cannot be changed, except by
deception, and what indeed, in reality, is not
worth the trouble of being go, even if it could.
The sight ola white man in Africa, is much
more homeiy than that Of an African here : and
in Scotland at one time, according 10 Walter
Scott, the fashion TO Judge of a handsome man,
was in broad face and red nose.

A STRANGE MEErINo-A letter from Alex.
ardra says; A curious meeting took place last
month in the desert between Suez and Cairo
A Mr.. Fawcett, who arrived here by the Or-
entail, on his way to India, when at Carlo, heard
that his brother was expected by that months
steamer from Bombay. The two brothers had
never seen each other, the one being born in
England whilst the elder brother was in India,
where he had lived thirty-two years. As the
younger Mr.. Fawcett was proceeding across
the desert on his donkey, he called on, to the
groups Of travellers he met coming from Suez,
whether Major Fawcett was amoHg them, and
towards midnight voice answered to Mr.. Faw-
cetts call, and the two brothers shook hands in
the dark; they both expressed wish to see
each others face but no light was to be had,
and the two parties they belonged to having
gone on, they were obliged to part sgain, not
having been together more than three or -four
minutes.

The SLAYER oftbe Isle OF Pines.

The following is taken from the New York
Commercial Advertiser. The character of the

Texan vessel, the companion of the would be

seen.
Extract fiom letter received from an officer
OF the United States brig Boxer, Lieut.. Com.
manding Oscar Bullus.
The detailed account of our chase of the pi-
rate off the Isle of Pines was furnished you in
my last. In New York paper | observe that
our report OF the character of the craft in ques.

her build, armament, crew, her evident attempt
to overhaul Us and then bearing away when our
disguise was detected,) is objected to, on the
ground that SLAYER had arrived in Cuba rcpor-
ting they had been chased by United States
brig. ...
Our bciefas TO the character Of The Chase
has been strengthened from various sources,
and recently confirmed by the relation of de.

so by the captain ofa vessel who spoke her in a

it dangerous TO float boat Their description
corresponded in every particular with our OBJ

9th, gives another story of the pirate or pirates
lurking at the south of Cuba:

of the port, that about the Nth of March, a pi

81, Reason. for Planting nm Orchard.

Orchards. have recently met with the
following "Six Reasons for Planting an Or.
chard," which will apply, with some modifca.
tion, TO planting trees of all sorts.
1st Would you leave an inheritance to your
children plant an Orchard. No other in
yestment of money and labor will, in the long
run, pay SO well.
I'd. Would you make home pleosont-the
abode OF the social virtues !-plant an Orchard.
Nothing better promotes among neighbors n
feeling of kindness and good will, than treat
ofgood fruit, often repeated.
Sd. Would you remove from your children
the strongest temptation to steal !--plant an
orchard. II children cannot obtain fruit at
home, they are apt 10 steal it; and when they
have learned to steal fruit they are in a fair
way to learn to steal horses.
4th. Would you cultivate a constant feeling
of thankfulness towards the great Giver of all
good plan, an orchard By having constant.
ly before you one of the greatest blessings gi-
ven to man, you must be hardened indeed ifyou
are not influenced by spirit of humility and
thankfnlness.
9Th Would you have your children love their
home-rcspect their parents while living and
venerate their memory when dead-in all their
wanderngs look back upon the home of their
youth a sacred spot-an oasis in the grea,
wilderness of the world then plant an or
chard.
9th. In short, if you wish to avail yourself o.
the blessings ofa bountifu Providence, which
are within your reach, you must plant an or
chard. And when you do it, see that you
plant good fruit. Don't plant crab apple trees
nor wild plums, nor Indian peaches The bes
are the cheapest.

A villain aud hts Victim.

A correspondent Of the Boston Bee gives the
following accoun, Of one of the inmates of the
Vermont Lunatic Asylum, at Brattleboro'
Eorn of wealthy parents, idolizcd in youth,
gratified in the Indulgence Other fondest hopes,
and perfected in every accomplishment OF the
dav, she was the pride other family and the belle
OF the social circle, whose destiny she con-
trulicd. One OF those enthusiastic beings, who
are never satisfied with divided affection, her
mind was so soexqui,iely strung thatthe least dis
cord afflicted it, and marred the music OF the
whole Some three years since, she was in
troduced to young naval officer, who soon
wooed and won her, but villain like, having
sported awhile with the choice flame which
nothing but summer and sunshine should glad
den, and after having by scdulous attentions
appropriated the rare gem to himself, left II ex-
posed to the rude blast of winter, until chilled
and crushed, it has fallen to the ground, scared
and blasted like the w,hered leaf ofautumn.
The story Of his perfdy reached her ears, but
woman-ike. she would not credit aught ag iinst
the idol Of her heart, till her own eyes pcrused
in the papers of neighboring city his marriage
to another The news came like thunderbolt
upon her, whitening and destroying hcr. In
vain did her friends endeavor to cheer her de-
spending heart by travel and the kindest at
tenton. Now a blighted and spirit-broken
thing, she no more bounded on the green like
the fawn, or carollcd in the sunshine like the
lark wnging its flight to heavens gate a
fearful change had came over her, and reason
soon deserted its throne, leaving her a maniac.
She takes no interest in the movements of the
other patients, but sits apart, all the day, look
ing from window, upon the boundess prospect
before her. Every attempt to direct her mind
has been, as yet unsuccessful, and though
passionatcly fond Of music in her moments o:
reason, the least sound is now displeasing to
her, and she retires TO her apartment, closing
the door after her, as if to seclude herseffrom
the society of others What has the man to
answer for, who has thus destroyed a virgin
flower in the pride Of lis bloom and beauty.
