be Mr.. Ruggles' heir. Ofhis birth and par
entage no one had any information, and he
was always very studious TO avoid any men

to converse upon his former life. He had
managed to keep his place in the school by
the assistance Of a few persons whose favor
he had gained, and in whose praise he was
very p~rofuse.
When he made his appearance at odd
Rugs the next evening after the downfall OF
Hitty's hopes, on one Of his love visits, he
found the blooming and beautiful maiden in
fit of deep melancholy, and tenderly inquir-
ed the cause. She readily and without any
hesitation whatever, informed him of the
events ofthe preceding day, and conided TO
him her fears as 10 the effect they would have

The BEST MEDIcINE.-FrequeHt Bathing.
Frequent ~bathing-not once or twice a
month, but every day if you Please-in warm
or cold water, is the best mediciue in the
world. II will make one h%eariier, ireer from
disease than a ton of medicine could. Read
what the editor Of the Boston Social Refor-
mer' says about it:
From one to FIVE pounds Of decsyed ami
NAL matter passes of daily by insenslble per-
spiration from a human body. The white
dust which collects on the skin. sometimes
called goose-nesh, is refused matter OF the
system. Viewed with a solar microscope 1t
looks like a butchers cart ofPutrid meat. II
the pores of the skin are closed and impercep-
tible Precipitation is stopped, and this corrupt
matter is thrown upon the lungs, liver, or IN
t~estines, causing colds, consumption, fevers'
&C.. &c. The remedy is found in the sPecl-
fc that will restore the system TO Its
proper balance, open the natural aV-
enues for the discharge Of poisonous accre-
lions. and relieve the internal organs from
burdensome clogs that are thrown upon them
Cold water has been proved to be this RENE
DIV in a pre-eminent degree. Ii Is nature S
own remedy. And nothing but its simplicity,
its commonness, and the almost universal by
dropbobia which prevails could have kept its
virtues so long concealed

A TRAvELER's SroRY.-The following
seriocomic incident is stated by the Sud of

in The diligence which runs between that place
and TOulon When The diligence had ar
rived near Capelette, a traveller in the coupe
being alarmed by PIERCING cries from the inte-
rior. stopped the carriage, and, with the con-
ddc:Or, went to ascertain the cause. They
found a young female in the greatest distress,
complaining Of acute pains in the lower part
OF her person, as If she was slung, or rather
punctureJ with larce;s, aud other fine point
ed Instruments. While they were endeavOr-
ing TO purSuade her 10 permit a search for
the cause of her pains, but which her delica-
cy would not permit, a stout elderly gentle
man in another corner Of the coach began TO
feel the same disagreeable sensations on the
calves OF his legs; and not being 50 mic c as the
lady, lie at once proceeded, with assistance,
10 an examination. On uncovering his limbs,
six enormous leeches were found suspended
10 his skin, ard gOrging themselves with his
blood. On searching further. it was discoV-
cred that a fellow-trayeler had brought into
the dIlllSence 4 bottle of these ~iusatiate blood
suckers, SO loosely covered that they got out,
and following their natural instinct, fastening
upon soft places, when they could find them,
but contenting themselves with cOarser mat
ter when they could meet none more tender
The young female was taken into The neares
house and being assisted by one of her owl
sex, between fifteen and twenty ofthe vagran'
leeches were found to have made their way uT
her clothes and fastened upon her. Being in
a high state Of nervous excitement, she wa;
carried back to Marseilles, where her physi-
cian prescribed the application of sixty more
leeches TO calm her.-BOStOR Courier.

THE ACORN.
by ELIZABETH CAKES SHIT

by ELIZABETH CAKES SMITH.
IF there be an interpreter, one among a thou
sand."-
Lsng year. ago, when our headlands broke
The silent wave below,
The bird-song then the morn awoke
Where towers a city now
When the red man saw en- every cliff,
Half seen and half in shade,
A tiny form, or 4 pearly skif
That sought the forest glade
An acorn fell from an old oak tree,
And Law on the frosty ground
"Oh, what shall the fate of the aeon be?"
Was whispered all around,
By low toned voices, Ginning sweet,
Like a aoweret's bell when swung
And the grasshoppers sieeds were gathering
And the beetles hcofs uprang- fleet,
For the PUCK wUD JEEs came sweeping past
In the pale autunnal ray,
Where the forest leaves were falling fast,
and the acorn quiver;ng lay,
To HIM OF THE SHE'LL wasthe the task assigned
To bury the acorn deep,
Away from the frost and searching wind,
When they through the forest sweep.
Twas a dainty sight, the small things toll,
As how'd beneaihthe spade,
He balanced his gosSamer wings the while
ToPeep in the pit he made
A thimble's depth ii was scarcely deer,
When the spade aside he threw,
And roll'd the acorn away to sleep
In the hush Of dropping dew.

NEVER FArL.-The great secret of success
in life is never 10 give up. If We were 10
leave d legacy for our children, and had moth
Ing better, we should bequeath to them as
their motto-'persevere.' More is lost than
Is supposed by well directed energy-we do
not mean that energy which couies BY fits,
and starts, but a ccaseless, %uniifing ieuaciiy of
purpose, assisted b. scunG common sense, in
the affairs of life. Your weak minded men,
who gave up at the first rebuff, are good for
nothing. Great souls achieve immortality by
unliring perseverance,. Look at Columbus
he was seventeen years in procuring the
little feet which discovered a world. See
how Washington toiled year after year amid
constantly recurring disappointment, labor
ing, too, under the want of money and the
suspicious of Congress; but he persevered,
ana o9r independence was gained. Do not
despair therefore. Let your w~atchword be
