A YAHKEE TRIcx.-A young lady Of
Connecticut became extravagantly fond Of
young lawyer III The neighborhood, who
treated her partially with great levity.-
Finding her suit rather hopeless, and be-
ing fully determined 10 enter the state OF
matrimony at some rate or other, she adop-
ted the following plan:-All at once she
was taken i'll and her malady seemed to
threaten death. AT this crisis she sent
for the young lawyer to draw her will,
and to his establishment she disposed Of an
enormous estate in legacies and endowing
public institutions. She shortly after,
however, recovered TO enjoy her own
wealth, and the young lawyer began 10
feel something like love for her; his adj
dresses became constant, and his attention
marked; in fact, in short time they were
married; but alas! he had to take the wiH
for the deed! .-sT-aa s.

nation in the Valley of the Mississippi,
and on the Pacific. The places thus ia
vored must necessarily enjoy greater advan-
tages from the road than other parts of the
Union. But it is of no consequence to the
people at large, where those favored sec
tons are. The route Offering the greatest
advantages to the whole country, and af-
fording the most ample means for the con-
struc'ion Of the road, possesses The high
est national recommendation, and should
be selected. Letthe attention of the whole
people be directed TO this subject let it be
fully investigated in truly national spir-
it, free from sectional jealousies and inter-
ests, and an enlightened and patriotic pub
lie opinion be brought TO bear upon it in
way that shall tighten the path Of the next
Congress, and make their duty to the coun-
try so plain, that they cannot mistake it,
nor feel justified in neglectine it.

CHoLERA.-The first indication of the
approach Of the disease, is hardness or
fitness in the abdomen, betraying slight
arrangement in The organs there situated.
If glass Of water is taken, feeling of
distress or uneasiness ensues, generally Of
a light character, however, and in conse-
quence frequently disregarded altogether,
or soon forgotten. In time-on the next
day perhaps-pains shoot through the
stomach, and sensation Of nausea is ex-
perienced. Diarrhea ensues, perhaps
vomiting, the day after or in violent cases
on the same day. Even though the pa
,ient may have disregarded the former
symptoms, if he will now call in physi-
clan and take proper remedies, he is near
ly sure of recovery, more sure than per-
son attacked with fever, or other ordinary
disorders. If, however, he neglects these
forewarnings, violent cramp succeeds, and
then there is real danger.-PhH. Ercn'ng

only be of an advanced character that is
in the higher branches, such as are taught
in our Academies, but it would be more
definite and searching than is possible in
our primary schools. Far less labor
would have to be expended on the exterior
of the school-the trainings, manners and
personal habts--and the pupil would be
advanced rapidly in his studies as he is in
our best high schools.
The excellencies and defects OF our
schools at present, will, we think, soon be
understood. As primary schools they are
good, but do not deserve TO be called any
thing more. Some of the pupils have ere
ry thing TO learn when entering them, and
every thing is not learned in moment.
For child who has been instructed in
awel' regulated family and, though young,
is advanced in his studies, these schools
are not the place, till a higher department
is provided. To meet the wants of such,
our private schools are establi>hed-not
because our system is not right, and would
not meet our wants when perfected; but
because it is only commenced as yet.
1t is true there are people among us
who would not send to tho public schools,
whatever their excellence might be. TO
some they are too common-tco plebeian.
Others fear the influence of large num-
Der OF pupils, some of them without much
training, on the moral character of their
children, and prefer to send where a small
er number gives opportunity to watch their
youthful habits more narrowly. Others
wish for more decidedly religious teach
ing, than is practicable in The public
schools. All these causes, and others
will always, in such a city as this, give
support to many private schools, whatev-
err may be the excellence of the public
ones. In smaller places these causes
either do not exist at all or in such weak
ened force that they may generally be
overcome.
1t is not TO be inferred from what has
been said above, that our public schools
are not patronized by any but the one
class of pupils alluded TO. They are at
tended by pupils from all sorts of families
from the richest, most fashionable, and
what are sometimes called aristocratc
families by the children OF merchants, and
extensively by those of our large body of
mechanics, and by those in every position
in society. So far as they go; SO far as
instruction in what they attempt to teach
is concerned, we believe them equal in
most respects, and superior in some
equal on an average--to any schools among
us.
The facts above stated, if borne in mind,
will assist in leading TO a just estimate Of
cur city schools, both as against those who
are prone to over estimate, and those who
under value them.

SPECULATIoNs IN CALIFoRNIA.--Ther
are good many excellent stories in cir
culation brought over from California by
the passengers on the Crescent City, illus
trative of the very peculiar state Of affairs
in California. One of the best we have
heard, is as follows:
A naval officer had just landed on the
wharf at San Francisco, and seeing rag
ged, dirty looking fellow lonnsing around,
hailed him, saying:
"Halloo, my good fellow if you'll lay
'hand, and take this trunk 10 the hotel, I'll
give you two dollars" ....s
1.-TWO his" exclaimed the indignant
lounger, "why stranger, I'll give you an
ounce of gold, to carry it up YOURSELF
"Agreed," replied the officer, who,
shoudering his own heavy trunk, took j.
TO the hotel, followed closely by his ragged
employer, who promptly handed over to
him the ounce of gold, thus enabling The
officer to pocket sixteen dollars very easily.
The best speculation, however, of
which we have heard, was that Of loaler
who stole hen, and invited four returned
miners to dine npon her, at the reasonable
rate of five dollars each. In preparing
the hen for cooking, our loafer found in
her craw to ounces Of gold. After par
taking freely Of the hen, the loafer found
the following to be the profits Of the trans
action:
For four guests at So each, $40 ~
For two ounces of gold, found in hens craw, 81
