MATURITY OF. WoMES.-We rarely meet
with women married under the age of twenty,
who do not exhibit, at thirty, all the marks Of
age common to forty-fye or fifiy, and who are
not victims to chronic disease. American wo-
men marry under twenty, and are still better
prepared for that relation, physically, intellect
ually and morally, at the age of twenty-five
American women are less able to endure pre-
mature marriages, than the Europeans; for they
are, ms a race, more delicate and more intellect
ual than the Europeans; nature, in them, OK
ponds more vital power on the mental, and
therefore has less for the physical system. As a
general rule, English women at fifty are young
or than American women at thirty.

BIRDS IN oURrLThe Boston Post makes
report of an amusing replevin case which came
off in the Suffolk Court Of Common Pleas, three
weeks since, to the great perplexity of the court
and jury. II was a suit to recover possession Of
thirty-four canary-birds and twelve birdcages,
said by the plaintiff to be unlawfully detained by
defendants wife Some months ago the plaintiff
invested $3.50 in canarics, with view of raising
birds for sale; but not understanding the art Of
mating and breeding the beauties, he employed
the defendants wife to do the business for him,
and put them into her possession for that pur-
pose. For her services in feeding and taking
care Of them, she was to receive one Of the young
birds: but having raised pretty fine family OF
canaries, she claimed the parents and children as
her own. The first thing to be proved after the
contract was the identity of the birds sought to
be recovered, and they were brought into court
in ave cages, and gratifed alIprcssnt very mucn
with their warblings. The process Of iden,ii-
cation was about as difficult as to tell one pea
from another, and the difficulty was increased
by the fact that the principal witnesses testified
in German through an interpreter.

ed by the addition of poisonous drugs and min

is to be drank, whether the victim dies at once
from the effects OF the drugs and minerals, or by
the no less sure though comparatively slow con-
sequences of the whiskey. Both are too active
poisons for the human system. -

INFLUENCE OF MISUNDERSTANDING the

dozen very respectable persons, spent the great.

They visited the most filthy places, and were

one Of these men took the cholera.
We conversed few weeks since with gen.

tied very severely by the cholera, and most Of
the white inhabitants, taking many negroes with
them, fed. Our informant and other benevo.

themselves into committee for visiting, and tax.

pie left in the place, were taken down, and the
labors Of this committee were severe in the OK

Different mon will draw from these facts diff.
ferent infercnces. One may attribute this sin

power of mental determination aud activity and
still another, TO the sanitary effect of the exer-
