A RObber Lover.

Mr.. Walsh furnishes, among other matters,
for the National Intelligencer, the following sto-
ry of somewhat romantic love match, and its
awkward termination
Madame Brelot, thriving blanchisseuse,
[washerwoman,] Of the Rue de Bievre, had a
fair daughter, who like all her sex of the same
age, which was tempting eighteen, was very
fond Of balls and other gallantries. The good
mother was indulgent but prudent and while she
permitted her lovely damsel to attend these
scenes of amusement, always took care to ac-
company her. At Sundays dance, about a
month ago, at the Quatre SEASONS, Mile Eugene
met with partner so genteel and gallant that
he won the hearts of both mother and daughter
and the favored youth was received into their
domestic circle as a sutton. Tha preliminaries
were at length SO far arranged for marriage
between the lovers, that Madame ,Brelot drew
one thousand francs from the savings bank t.
purchase suitable outfit for the young couple
Alas! for the uncertainty of human prospects
Two evenings ago when the expecting bride AM

Female Education.

No woman is educated, says Burnap, who is
not equal to the successful management of u
family, Although it does not require so much
talent to rule household as it does to govern
State, still it requires talents of the same kind.
As he makes the best General who has begun at
the lowest post, and passed up through every
grade Of oiice-as he makes the best admiral
who entered the navy in tlemost inferior station,
because they and they alone are acquainted with
the whole compass of subnltern's duty-so
that woman will manage family with the great
est ease and efficiency, who knows experiment
ally the duties of every member of it.
Daughters who neglect this part OF education
are entirely without excuse, and their mothers
are still more to blame. The very apology
which is often made for the neglect of it is the
greatest condemnation of those who offer it. It
is said by those who are growing up in ignorance
of these things "Any one can learn how to
keep house, when it is necessary. ANY one
who loves her husband and is devoted to his in
terests, will make herself accomplished in those
things as soon as she is married." As well
might the young man say, "Oh, what use is it
for Inc to learn profession, or make myself &C
quainted with the details of my business p
When | am married, if | love my vile, it will
then be time enough to learn profession, or to
accomplish myself in the details of business"-
Would there he any surer omen of total failure
and discontinue? That which woman can
learn to do In few months under the tuition of
love, can certainly be learned to much greater
advantage under the tuition of mother. If it
is all so easy to learn then certainly they are ut
terly nexcusable who neglect it. 1t is no deg
radiation to the finest lady to know all the details
Of domestic affairs. 1t is honorable, and ought
to be her pride. A woman, though she may be
as beautiful as the morning, as wise as Minerva,
and as accomplished as the Graces, ought to
know all the details of house affairs.

Bright stars are shining in the sky,

And the echo of the waterfall
Doth to memory recall
Voices gentle, heard in sleep.

Bran.--Tell me, dread plague, why goest thou
forth,
Spreading dismay and death,
From East to West from South to North,
With pestilential breath
ChoI.-FOul, poisonous drug! charge me nc
With crimes Of such excess!
My victims number many score,
But thine are numberless.
Bran.-That is not true, for have sure
Been often instrumentive,
With pepper, to effect cure;
also um preventive.
ChOl-Ah, Brandy, thy untimely birth,
Has caused perpetual tears,
While have coursed around the earth
But twice in sixteen years.
The rich, the poor, the young, tine old,
Are crushed by thee each day,
While death and evil manifold,
Are strewed in thy pathway.
All! many a widow thou hast made,
And many an orphan pair
On many home has cast shade
OF darkness and despair.
So, Brandy, say no more to me
Of pestilential breath;
Awhile, and will leave to thee
To do the work of death.

ANGRY WORDS.
Poisonous drops of care and sorrow,
Bitter poison drops are they,
Weaving for the coming morrow,
Sad memorials of to-day.

From the tongue unbridled slip;
May the hearts best impulse ever
Check them ere they soil the lip.

Waves gently two and fro,

CANADA AND CUBA.

The subject OF further annexation Of foreign tor.
f'tory To the United States, is beginning to excite
the pubic attention, and in all probability will, be-
fore great while, become matter of practical in
terest. The principle of annexation having been
established by various presidents, it NAV be too
late to oppose it as abstract question, and each
case, will, therefore, be considered and decided on
its peculiar iucri,s. For many months past we have
heard Of discontents aud disturbances in Canada.

HE BALL At SARA4uGA.-We observe in some
OF our exchanges long and minute accoun, of a
fancy ball which lately came off at Saratoga Springs.
We may be thought fastidious, but we must never
theess confess that the account has excited our un
mltigaed disgust. The names of the ladies who
inquired on the occasion given in full and their
handsome features and costumes are described and
commented on with the sams gusto that jockey
would descant u pom the Qualities Of Evorite
nag. The elegant Miss c. of p, and the beau
tllul Mrs. M. of b., undoubtedly feel hi6hlv
flattered by the honorable mention" that is made
of'hem. They cannot be surprised or at all offend
ed at The notoriety they have gained, for such de-
scripiions have always been given, and every wo-
man that exhibited must have ANTICIPATED beinu
published. We do not remember whether any
thing OF the kind has ever been pracsed in this
State, but we are pleased that The name of no
Virginia lady appears among the Performers
at Saratoga. French morals may naturally be
expected TO succeed the introduction of French
manners, and when the wives and daughters of the
land descend from the proper sphere of women and
appear as actors in fantastic public show there is
certainly cause for apprehension.

We understand iha, some of the Locof0cos in this

any heads, and Of Wing butchers with bloody axes
in their hands, have wrought the tancles nj the
little locotUcos that there is not bny girl who is
not afraid 10 60 into dark room. The little Locos
in trowsers and slips are haunted by bood-,hirsty

lily affairs the old Locos have resolved that they
will not permit their sons and daughters, who are
not well verscd in the figurave language OF Loco
tucoism, to hear read any articles which the
Washington Union contains. This is prudential
step, rendered necessary by considerations of domes
tic comfort. Nero, il is said, perverted sadly by
seeing and hearing of scenes OF blood and if the
Locofocos would not have all their children to grow
up like Nero, they must not undertake to edify
them with article from Mr.. Ritchie's paper, until
that old geneman's taste for blood and thunder is

THE FLORIDA INDIhNs-From all the inlorma-

and humanity. He. as well as the Secretary of
War, are both well acquainted with the Indian

We are Informed that instructions have already

due To the " bite inhabitants Of Florida that on
hearing the ou;rages recently committed among
them, the Secretary of War should have ianlDedl-
