IMPORTANT TO BAcHELoRs.--The Lon.
don Dispatch in reply to correspondent,
has the following grave advice to tachel'
ors:
"a bachelor mingham) may address
lady as ''Ma LAM" If, however, he claim
an acquaintance with her, he may employ
the terms, 'dear Madam" and should
there be little bit of tender ait,cbmt nj,
"My very dear Madam" but in case of
of being in love and an interchange Of at,
lection be eyinced. som, thing like the en-
dearing tenn Of "dear girl may be used.
Always use "dear girl when the object
addressed is over thirty, for at that age
women Ike to BE- thought young. Wien
man is head over ears in love, and the
woman he addresses in a similar, predica.
ment, the more extravagant the terms
used to convey his passion, the more will
his suit be admired. Remember always
address woman over :hirty years as
"ny dearest child" or "charming girl"

The European correspondent of tie
Richmond Enquirer, speaking of the feel.
ings of the nations of the Old World, to.
wards the United States, says, that their
present course, brings to his mind an oc.
currence which took place in Kentucky
years ago. The Bar at l., was dis
tinguished for its talents. A tall, plan
looking, farmerl.ke young man, of one.
and-twenty, was admitted to practice in
the Courts. The old Lawyers, although
there was much professional rivalry among
themselves, determined TO prevent this
beardless Plebeian, as they termed him,
from rising, by speaking cisrespecfulIy Of
his qualifications. He pursued, however,
the even tenor OF his way, daily creasing
in legal and intellectual strength, to The
notifications Of his seniors. AT length, a
case was called, of complicated charac-
ter,and he appeared for the defence, against
such an array of the old members as had
never before been retained by client.
Upon taking his seat, after making tri-
umphant argument, they said, one to the
other, eve may as we'll lie, that tall boy
pass, for he will pass, whether or not. +"
He did psss--and his practice there after
was more lucrative than that of all the
other members of The Bar. Aad the pow
ers of The old world now very reluctantly
remark, "we may as well let that tall boy,
the model Republic" pass, for il will pass,
whether or not"
Was not "that tall boy'-ihat "b, ard.
less Piebeian," HARRY CLaYl And are
not the PAM cred magnates-self, styled
Democrats--.for efect-all combined to
prevent justice from being done to "llarry
of the Vest" And viii they not be com
PEELED 10 say, again, eve may as uea let

or or not. "-Aler. Gax.

States! Yet that book is truth and pur-
ity itself, compared with the semi melo-
dramic romance Of Boz, entitled Amer
can Notes for General Circulation. The
words for general circulation, mean III.
tie more than at first appears, and disclose
the true intent Of their rapid spread ~
England--their republication in Paris,
and their distribution over the continent.
They will do our country more harm
than all the books which have been pub
lished for the last twenty years, because
Dickens afiirms then to be true, literally,
and fair specimens Of the United States,
and such is his popularity, that they will
have universal circulation, though to the
detriment Of his reputation as an author
and man but he seeks not this, as he
has received his quid pro quo.

Inscribed TO Miss -.
Good night! good night the moon is high,
And blsndly smiles DER earth:
And countless stars now gem the sky,
Twinklng brighter far than mirlh.
The flowers fair, that gave at morn,
To each beholder rapt delight:
Are reposing nov, Of their beauties shern,
OH It's the hour to breathe good night
Good night, good night the lovely bird,
That chsrmd the day with song:
Hath ceased to sing--no hay is siirr'd
BY Nature tunssul ihrong
The pensivo shosn 81 twilight TOO,
rhe season dear of Memory's might,
Hath passed away from rsp,ure's view,
Oh, It's the hour to breathe good night
Good night, good night the lsrks repoSo
With folded wing, and msy 81 dfrssn
OF songs wherewith to greer The rose,
That soon shall ope meath morning beam.
Der Natures harp Eolian strung,
No breezes sweep in playful might:
A holy pensiveness DER earth is flung,
OH It's the hour to breathe good night
Good night, good night, no echo's start,
A Stiffness dim Ger all is thrown;
No murmurs rise, save in my heart,
Whose pulse in doubt yet thrills alone!
Perhaps tits well that sleep should cast
cloud Ger Fancy's fondest light;
While Memory meath its hue forgets the past,
BUTTS tho hour TO breathe good night.

And greater day viii it be when more

The above remarks were suggested by
a little anecdote we heard related lately.

was, at the age Of fifteen, regularly ap,
prestced TO respectable and scientific
mechanic, for the purpose of learning

a STEP but tho father chose so to dispose
of the education of his son, often repea-
ting to him. |'he 'eho has a trade has an
estate" The young man became mas
ter Of his trade, and had the supreme
happiness land earth car offer none more

his skill and industry; lor the grea, fortune
10 which he had been born heir was, by
misforiunes, all lost. Moreover, while
performing this sacred duty, his talents

him both lame ard fortune.

FAIRY LAND.-By Mrs. N. E. Robbins.
Where, where is fairy land
Mother, tell me where
Very much indeed wish
Once could be there
want to see the tiny things,
Dressed in green and white,
Just as little Mabel saw
On midsummer night.
We are fairy land, love,
When our heatts are ftee,-
Peeping out of aowerbells
Little elves we see.
And they whisper what We feel
Gentle words or sad
In the color OF our thoughts,
They are always clad.
Little selfish feelings
Dwarfsh brownies make,
And their wrinkled faces
From our hearts they take.
When our hearts are holy,
Sky-blue fairies come,
Playing en their golden harps
Music OF our home.
And they scatter brightest gifts,
All along our way:
Such as little Mabel found
On midsummer day.
Just run down. now, to the grove,
While your thoughts are pure
You will hear their voices sweet,
| am very sure.
You will see their diamond crowns
In tho 81 s,kling brook:
You will find their brilian, robes,
In each fowery nook.
You will meet their light canoes
Floating on the pond;
In the water-lilies cur,
Many golden wand.
You may roam through fairy laad
Freely when you will;
And each time you wander tl.ere
Find new wonders still.
