with Portugal, which he and Mr.. Adams had made

HNHE FAUQUIER WHITE SULPHUR
Il Springs (Fauquier county, Virginia,) will be
opened for visitors the first of June. They are
situated on the Rappahannock river, (now naviga-
ble,) thirty eight miles above Fredericksburg, and
fifty, nearly due west, from Alexandria.
No pains have been spared to continue the attrac-
tons of the place to the votaries of pleasure the
seekers of health. The recent publication in PAM
phlet of the eminent and Rev. Thornton StriHgfel-
low shows, beyond all question, the healing quail
ties of this water in many diseases-dyspepsa,
dropsy, Sc, &c. He had spent the previous sea-
son here, and made thorough and sitting exami-
nation of the details of the reported by him.
and he is of opinion that the extraordinary medi-
cinal advantages of the Springs have been obscured
in the greater allurements to fashionable life
The railroad from Alexandria is rapidly ap
preaching these Springs, and will soon make the
trip delightful from that city and all north of
it. In the mean time, the stages run tri-weekly
from Washington, and will be daily after lst July
A daily line of stages will be run by Mr.. Quisen-
berry, from Frederic ksburg, after lst July and in
the mean time he engages to send up all passen-
gers, at the regular fare, $50 as they may pre-
sent themselves.

The school-Boy Days of Sir walter Scott.

correspondent of the Worcester Spy, who seems
to be familiar with the literature and authors of
Great Britain, gives particulars concerning the
schoolboy days Of Scott which will be new even to
those who have read Lockharts Life The writer
says:
"A venerable ancestor of mine, whose native place
was the ancient town of KelsO in the famous shire
of Roxburgh in the redoubtable little realm Of Scot
land was first enlightened in the mysteries of the
A. b. &, by Mr. Whale, professor of letters, who at
the same time counted amongst his pupils Walter
Scott, and Jamie Ballentyne,' who in manhood
years, became Intimately associated in the relations
of author and publisher. This Mr.. Whale, accor-
ding to the traditions received and believed by me-
was minus one eye, but the remaining one was as
potential in producing palpitaton in the hearts of
his pupils as is that green which scatters the
terrors of its rays into the night of Greek superst
ton. The glare of this eye sometimes of extra
ordinary force, derived, it reported, from pas
sions that stirred to their depths account of
Mrs. Whales extensive use, or rather abuse of tie

When attending Mr.. Whales school, Walter Scott
usually wore a leather cap, close buttoned cloth
jacket, wooden pants of coarse material and he lean
ed upon crutch and stick to assist him in his pain

IS only when benevolent reason emancipates us from
its essential egotism. that we learn to respect the
rights, feelings and misfortunes of others Walter
Scott the poet. died from the world his awkward
painful movements amused them and provoked their
ridicule; and day by day would they follow him on
his 'homeward way pointing the finger of mockery
at him, and shouting cripple Wattie. Spirited and
stout though lame. the insulted boy would often
hurl his crutch at his tormentors, and woe to him
who felt its onward force Without his timber friend
however, he became immovable. and on this account
he became double object of ridicue; but the kind
little girls always restored it to him and his gentle
maiden aunts, with whom he resided generally res

"What strange thing is life! This dull, lame
boy that MIR. Whale used to look down upon with
his single eye, and whom the little pumpkins used
to jibe for his unganly STEP became in time, the
man whose fame the world scarcely large enough

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARTERIES AND VE1Ns.-The
knowledge Of the distinction between arteries and
veins is of the utmost Importance. particularly to
people residing in districts remote from surgical aid
where those who receive serious wounds may actual
ly bleed to death. for want of such easily acquired
information. The arteries are composed of no less
than four very firm, strong, elastic membranes, or
coats, and this, we'll their being generally
deep seated in the esh to guard them from injury,
renders them less liable to be hurt by accident but
when cut or wounded the frmness of these coats
prevents their closing, and hence arises the fatal
tendency of wounds of large blood vessels which re-
main open till they are tied up till death
Another distinctive character is, that the pulse of
the heart is felt in the arteries only.
The veins lie the surface and bleeding from
them may readily be stopped, in common cases, by
closing tie orifce, and bandaging in the manner
usually adopted by operators after having opened a
vein in the arm or foot.
When person, animal is seriously wounded,
and surgeon cannot be Immediately procured. ig-
norant by ISLANDERS will often content themselves
with laying little lint or cobweb, or some other
trfing application, wholly inadequate to the case
they ought to know that when such remedies fail,
and more especially when the blood flows on the
wound by pulsatory leaps it should be arrested by
mechanical compression, until professional aid be
obtained This can be easily done by the most ig-
norant persons present. by winding string or ban
dage tightly above the wound. Those more sklful
or better informed, may take the severed artery and
twist or tie it up.

LUsUs NATURE.--Whoever can account for the
following phenomenon must have partaken of some
I" Tree of knowledge" that it has not been good
fortune to meet with. A very curious pear tree is
to be seen in the garden of Mr.. Green, Gowanus,
within block or two of the entrance to the Green
wood Cemetery. Half the tree is at present in full
blossom and the other half merely in leaf Every
alternate year each blossoms and bears fruit--The
bearing side this year will yield abundant crop
of sweet fruit The side that does not blossom this
year will blossom and yield crop of sour fruit the
next year, and so every alternate year This has
been the case since the tree first yielded fruit.

LEGAL VITA Kennebec lawyer who had been
unsuccessful in his defence of an idiotic youth in
criminal trial before Kennebec jury on a plea of
incapacity to distinguish between right and wrong,
was Immediately afterwards aecosted by one of the
jurymen, who volunteered coincidence by attempting
to satisfy him that the verdict was righteous one
The attorney assured the juror that he was under
taking work of supererogation; that he had no
complaints to indulge in, that though his client was
evidently non compos, yet the constitution had
strictly been complied with-he had been tried most
emphatically, By jury of his peers!
