We find beauty itself a very poor thing,
unless beautifie1 by sentiment The reader
may take this confession as he pleases, eth
,her as an evidence of abundance of sinti-
ment on our part, or want of proper ardor
and impartialityj but we cannot (and that is
the plain trutb) think the most beautiful
creature beautiful, or be at all affected by
her, or call her By her Christian name, OF ask
her if she likes poetry, or tie with any salts
fac,ion) her gown for her, or be asked whelh-
er we admire her shoe, OF take her arm even
in dining room, or kiss her at Christmas, or
on April fool day, or on May day, or any
other day, or dream Of her, or wake thinking
of her, or feel a want in the room when she
is gone, or pleasure the more when she
appears--unless she has heart as well as
face, and ls-a proper good ,empered, na.ur-
al, sincere, honest girl, who has a love for
other people and other things, apart from
self.feierence aud the wish TO be ADMIRED
Her face would pail upon usina the course

QUININE.

Quinne, called also Quina, is an alkaline
substance, producible, from yellow bark and
red bark; The combination Of whi.h, with sui.
phuric acid, IS at present much used by the
medical faculty. For obtaining this medi-
cine, two Troy pounds ofyellow bark is boil,
ed in two gallons Of wafer, mixed with Two
ounce measures Of oil Of yitriol, the decoc-
tiop is strained through a linen cloth; the
residue on the filter boiled again, with a
fresh quantity of soured water, and filtered,
To the decoctons mixed together is gradu-
ally added powdered lime, until the decoc-
lion has become slightly alkaline, and of a
dark color, which generally requires about
half pound Of lime. A brown haky sed-
iment falls down, which is separated by
straining through linen cloth, washed
with cold water and then dried. When this
sediment is dry, it's 10 be digested in seve-
raj al.ruccessive portions ofspiiit ofwine, with
a moderate heat, for some hours, until all
the bitterness is extracted. The several
portions are then mixed and distilled witt a
gentle heat, until three quarters Of the spir-
it has passed over the helm. The residue in
the, body or matrass is brown thick sub
stance, covered with bitter alkaline liquid
which is 10 he poured off, saturated with
weak sulphuric acid, and boiled down with
little ivory black; sthe liquor is then filtered
while hot; on cooling, the sulphate Of qui-
nine chrystalizes, and the chrystals are 70 be
dried on flterng paper.
J The brown thick substance is boiled in a
small quantity Of water slightly soured with
oil of yilriol, which changes a considerable
portion Of it into sulphate Of quinine. " y.
Two pounds Of yellow bark generally
yields from FIVE to six apothecaries drains Of

A French surgeon at Gaudaloupe, where

has discovered that the bark ofthe Adan go

A T meeting of the Board of Trustees Of the
"A AUGUSTA FEMALE SEMINARY, on
the 24th ult, the undersigned were appointed
Committee to publish renewed expression of the
sentiments of the Board respecting the institution

county. Rev. Il. w. Bailey assisted, as hereto

Their long experience and high reputation teach
ers and conductors of such Institutions place them
above the necessity OF any minute commentator
here. In addition TO these, the services of Miss
Bailey and Miss Stockbridge secure to the school
the advantages of full and thorough Instruction.
The examination of the young ladies on Friday,
the Oath ult, was highly gratifying to the specta-
tors and the members of the Board present.
We would especially commend the mode Of con-
Quoting these examinations; making it manifest
that there no previous arrangement between
the teachers and pupils by which they might come
off matter of course ,vittout missing ,cord''
The Board would take this opportunity of publish
ing to the community its steadfast confidence in
tho Seminary over which it is placed to watch, and
is gratifed in doing good by fostering an institution
80 highly deserving the good will Of all. Arrange
ments have been made for monthly visitatiOns to

AT ten O'Clock Mr.. Brown appeared, alone, to
report that the hospital cleared-that the sick
list was cean-that there was no superannuated
hands-ln short, that all on the land at work.
In two years AFTER it had come into his posses
sion, Mr.. C--'s land yielded double crop and
the yield was continued to increase till his farm
has become the pride of his section of country.
The reader must not suppose, from the simple
relation of this factfor what he has jus: read is
almost literally true-that Mr.. C was an I'M
feeling man. This was far from being the case
lie saw at once, that not only his prosperity, but
the welfare of those dependents which had come
into his possession, made it absolutely necessary
that some decisive, striking lesson should be given
The one he read was ef1ectual. Its results, too
soon enabled him TO discover (and he never doubt
ed that there were such, ) those who were really
sick and irfrrn. and unfit for service. For these
he pisvidesf-com!drtably and his servants are well
known as among the best and most happy in the
land.
