Social LovE.-How sweet is social az
lection When the world is dark without,
we have light within. When cafes disturb
the breast, when sorrow broods about the
heart. what JOY gathers in the circle we
love- We forget the world, with all its
animosties, while blessed with social kind
ness. That man cannot be unhappy, who
has hearts that vibrate in sympathy with
his own, who is cheered by the smiles Of
affection aud the voice Of tenderness. Let
the world be dark and cold, let the hate
and animosiiy Of bad men gather about
him in the place Of business-but when he
enters the ark of love, his own cherished
circle. he forgets all these, and the cloud
passes from his brow and the sorrow from
his heart. The warm sympathies Of his
wife and children dispel every shadow, and
he feels thrill of joy in his bosom which
words are not adequate TO express. He
who is a stranger TO the Joys Of social kind
ness has not begun to live.

True American, the story Of cruel mas
ter, who, without cause, had determined TO
seyer slave mother and her only child
She had been faithful under the very worst
usage, and she determined 10 remain so,
until he told her, that on the morrow her
child must be borne to New Orleans, TO
be sold there in the slave market.
II was mid-winter. The earth was frost.
ed with hard crust, yet at midnight she
started for the Ohio, determined. il she
could, TO live aud die with her child.
She reached its banks as the pursuers
rose the hill beyond-no boat was near
masses Of broken ice were sluggishly drift
ed along-what was she to dol Trusting
TO Heaven, she put her feet on the treacher-
Gus element, and with il bending and
breaking beneath her, spectators on either
side expecting to see her and her child sink
at every moment,) she boldly pushed on
from cake 10 cake, until she landed safely
on the Ohio shore. Five minutes sooner
and she must have perished--two minutes
later and she would have met with watery
grave. for before she had proceeded twenty
steps the ice behind her, close on the Ken
lucky side had broken and was scattered
ere she reached the mid river Thank
God, you and your child are safe" exclaim-
ed the hard-hearted master, as he saw her
land. rejoiced that he had escaped the re-

Brave woman" said Kentuckian who
had witnessed her escape and met her at
the landing, you have won your freedom

AMERICAN ORANGEs.-The Mobile Herald
says that since the destructive hurricane in Gu
ba few years since, the Mobile fruit market
has been supplied chiefly with Creole oranges
raised in that neigborhood, Pascagoula, and on
the "coast" near New Orleans. These oranges
are generally larger than those raised in the
neighborhood of Havana, and much superior In
favor, The Herald contends that number Of
locations might be selected on the bay and
neighboring islands, where the orange would
thrive admirably and scarcely ever be injured

realizes from $500 to $1,000 annually from about
thirty orange trees cultivated in garden some

am, cast Of the MerIcap War.

We shall never be likely to hear, through the
official messages Of the President or any Of the
state papers, what the actual cost Of the Mexi-
can War has been, even in dollars and cents
Of the sacrifice Of human life, there is but an
imperfect record in the formal and heartless ar
my reports; and no figures can ever tell the ex.
tent Of the misery and wo, and the disappointed
hopes and broken hearts, which disease and the
battle have occasioned.
The muster rolls and official returns, however,
which come before few eyes, tell tales which
some would gladly keep from the public knowi-
edge. When the President 80 complacenty as
sured the people, that in the honor which the
proves Of our troops had won, and the terrific
ry which our conquests had extorted from
weak and fallen foe we had obtained full "in-
demnity for the past and security for the future"
he could not have consulted the army reports Of
killed and wounded and of deaths by pestilence
which walked at noon day with our army.
A few facts, which may be stated on the au.
thority Of the Adjutant Generals report, will
neither be uninteresting nor Improbable TO our
readers most of whom probably do not find &C
cess to that document.
The number Of the forces employed in the
war was 99,067, officers and men, viz; ,iO4 OF.
ficers and 26,362 men Of the regular army, and
S,2s9 officers, Cncluding the general stall, 252)
and 6S,222 men, volunteers
The number Of men and officers discharged
was SO .s2s, viz for disability, e,55S; by eIpi-
ration Of service. 81 500; and by civil authority,
1924. The number of designations was 427;
and of desertions, 4,s66l
The number of those who were killed in bat
tie and who died Of their wounds, was 1,o15,
viz: 1i6 officers and 1893 privates. The num-
Der of deaths BY disease and from accidental
causes, was 6.l53l viz: sc officers and 6,os7
privates Total number of deaths, 1858. And

REvENGEFuL WoMAN.-A female, who has
South and Catharine, at very late hours, and
exciting many conjectures as to the motives
prompting such strange conduct-late on Tues
day evening, 2sth ult., encountered young man
against whom she entertained some hostility, and
made most violent assault upon him. She was
armed with knife, with which she Inflicted a

defend himself, she received a blow from his fist
which stunned her, and gave him an opportu-

TRUE EDUCATION study Of Physi-
ology is beginning to be introduced into
common schools. We rejoice a, this, be-
cause the old system of stuffing children
with musty statistics of the planetary bod
les, and not learning them anything about
the nature and functions Of their own bod
les, was altogether wrong. Physiology will
likewise prove MI entering wedge for Phre-
nology; and a person tolerably verscd in
these Two sciences from youth up, will en-
joy more happiness, and accomplish more
good in the world, than one who has been
run through forty seminary and college
mills, and crammed 10 the top of his throat
with dead Languages aud dry Mathematics.

A CHEERFUL HEARr.-I once heard
young lady say to an individual, "Your
countenance to me is like the shining sun,
for il always gladdens me with a cheerful
look" A merry or cheerful coun,enance
was one Of the things which Jeremy Tay.
lor said his enemies and prosecutors could
not take away from him. There are some
persons who spend their lives in this world
as they would spend their time if shut up
in dungeon. Every thing is made gloomy
and forbidding They 60 mourning and
complaining from day to day, that they have
SO little, and are constantly anxious lest
what little they have should escape out Of
their hands. They look always upon the
dark side, and can never enjoy the good
that is present for the evil that is to come.
This is not religion. Religion makes the
heart cheerful, and when its large and be-
neyoent principles are exercised. men will
be happy in spite Of themselves.
The industrious bee does not stop to
complain that there are so many poison
Gus flowers and ihorny branches in his
road, but buzzes on, selecting the honey
where he can find it, and passing quietly
by the places where il is not. There il
enough in this world to complain about
and find fault with, if men have the dispo-
silion. We often travel on hard and un.
even road. but with cheerful spirit and a
heart to praise God for His mercies, we
may walk therein with great comfort, and
come to the end of our journey in peace
"Give me 4 calm and thankful heart,
From every murmur free
The blessings of Thy grace impart,
And make me live to Thee"

BEAUTY-CLoTHING OF CnILDREN.-
When we observe the extreme anxiety OF
mothers to improve the beauty and impart
grace TO the forms OF their daughters, we
cannot but pity the ignorance and infalua-
ton which induce them, in too many in
stances, to resort TO means calculated much
more effec,ually TO defeat the object so ar
IDENTIFY desired, than to promote it. A very
slight knowledge Of the human frame, and
Of the manner in which il is influenced by
external agents, would teach them the alb
surdiiy OF all attempts TO supply, by artih-
cial means, what can result only from the
unassisted efforts OF nature. In infancy, as
well as in adult life, the first and most i'm
portant consideration should be to preserve
and promote the health and vigor Of the
body-sincc with its health we necessarily
maintain its symmetry and improve its beau
ty. Bodily deformily, in particular, unless
congenital, OF the effect Of unavoidable dis
ease or accident, is, in the great majority OF
cases, produced by nursery mismanagement,
and the employment Of the very means
which are resorted TO in order TO prevent il.
The fact cannot be too often repeated, nor
can il be too seriously urged upon parents,
that the foundation Of graceful aud just
proportion in the various parts Of the body
must be laid in infancy. A light dress,
which gives freedom TO the functions OF life
and action, is the only one adapted to per-
nit perfect, unobstrucled growth--the young
6bres, unconslrained by obstacles imposed
by art, will shoot forth tremendously int
the form which nature intended. The gar
menis of children should be in every respec'
perfectly easy, SO as not to impede the free
dom Of their movements by bands or liga
lures upon the chest, the loins, the legs o.
arms. With such liberty, the muscles o
the trunk and limbs will gradually assum'
the fine swell and development, which moth
ing short Of unconstrained exercise can ev
err produce. The body will turn easily am
gracefully upon its firmly poised base-'h
chest will rise in noble and healthy expanse
and the whole figure will assume that pei
fectness of form, with which beauty, use
fulness and health are so intimately con
nected. British Hydropafhist.
