One Of the Girls,

A Correspondent of the Boston Jatr-
nal gives the following description Of a
youngelady residing at East Alstead, in
Cheshire County, n. Ii.
While on visit to my friends in New
Hampshire the past week, l had the plea
sure of an Introduction to Miss Rosina
Delight Richardson, the only daughter Of
Mr.. Nathaniel and Mrs. Mary Richard
son. Miss Rosina is nineteen years of
age, is ) feet 81 in hight, measures )
feet 4 J inches around the waist, (6 feet 2
inches around the hips, } % inches around
the arm above the elbow, and feet l 0 INCH
es in a straight line across the shoulders.
At birth she weighed pounds, at years
l4S pounds, at 10 years, 26S lbs at 15
years, 3G5 lbs. at nineteen years of age,
she weighs ATS lbs On estimating the
quantity of cloth in her clothing when
dressed for ride on winters day, we
found it to contain 99! yards of yard
wide cloth.
She has brown hair, dark blue eyes, is
of fair complexion, and has what phre-
nologists would call a well balanced head
the preceptive organs predominating.--
She can knit, spin, weave, make shirt,
or a batch of bread, is good singer, and
plays the piano with taste and skill-is
considered one of the best scholars in the
town where she resides,-is courteous and
affable, and lively in conversation, and
evinces a general knowledge which might
raise blush on the cheek of some of our
city bellies.

On Good Terms with Death.

In the Southern part of Tonquin, the
above highly compliment you can pay to
a distinguished parsonage, and the dear
est token of esteem for a revered friend is
the present of a coffin. A number of
Catholic priests of native origin, joined in
giving a coffin as a New Years present to
the Bishop of Laranda,, who had instruc-
ted them in theology, saying he was grow
ing old and they could never have more
suitable opportunity to offer him that ne
ceSsary piece of furniture. At the same
time they called his attention to the ex-
cellence of the wood, and the beauty of
the work Such is the custom of the
country; no person who has reached the
age of fifty is without coffin, which not
only stands ready for its prospective use,
but serves even now, as "a table by day
and a bed by night. The children of a
family in good circumstances will com
bine, to offer a handsome coffin to their
father and mother, and pupils make the
same present to vencrated teacher
Death there has no terrors. A poor Wild
ow, with young children, fall dangerous
ly sick, and the first care of his friends
was to borrow a coffin for him. When
this was announced to the sufferer he trem-
bled with JOY, and asked to see the bor-
rowed article: "Now,n said he, "let me
die, for if | live l will have to return it,
and who knows if l can ever procure an
other?" In the same spirit the friends of
a dying person speak in his presence of
his approaching end, and of the prepara-
tions for his funeral The Bishop above
referred to, says that one day he visited
a catechumen, whose malady, though like
ly to be prolonged, was sure to end fatal
ly, and found woman sitting by his bed
side making the mourning clothes for the
family. At the door was the carpenter en-
gagged in making the coffin in sight of
the patient, who directed the work with the
utmost particularly. .
These particulars we gather from let
ter of the good Bishop, to a friend in
France, published in the Journal des De-
bates 1Ttbuzae. ~ -1

should not be regarded in making ar
rangement, for all the children of dis
trict have an equal right to the benefits
of the common school system. "The
expense ofisuch instruction" can be read
lily ascertained by aoreference to the
whole number of pupils taught irseany one
district, and the entire cost of teaching
the same. The right ofpupils who are
thus located in reference to the schools of
their own and of an adjoining district, is
as undoubted and we'll sustained by the
law as the right of pupil to be taught
in his own district. ea5 le iaaaa f5Ff

glshly we marched up the hill that brought
us IN view of the capital, before the battle
of Contreras, and, on arriving at the top
OF 1T, there was our old commander look
ing through his spy glass and crying out
to us as we passed him: "Boys, the
capital, the capital,' My feIlow-soldiers,
how did you feel in that hour? Did mt
you feel new life take hold of your weary
toilworn limbs and were we not led on
from victory to victory until Scott was
arrested and torn away from his noble
army by his own Government? But, by
the blessing Of God, we will try and be
with him again in November F; and when
ever Scott leads victory is sure. News
papers may talk about Sewer county fall
ling off. five hundred votes, and all that
kind rof stuff, but with old Scott as our
leader, she will roll up the largest Whig
vote she ever gave. The pine knot

they will count in any crowd. 81 Dc .aa-

CuriOus Offer.

The Parisians are in quite panic be-
cause of the numerous eases of hydropho-
bia the present season. We find the fol-
lowing curious offer in the papers .a
A Professor Jaquemarts, in a letter to
the De5ateS, declares his conviction that
hydrophobia is nothing but ga nervous
affection, caused only by fright and the
instinct of imitation" He rejects the
supposition that madness is commmica-
ted by bite, and AYERS that all attacks
of rage may be calmed by vigorous ex-
ertion of the will, and that they are COM
municated in the same way as epileptic
fits are known to be communicated from
one person to another. To prove the JUS
tice Of these views he offers to allow him
self to be bitten by dogs recognized by
physicians as mad, on condition that a
fund be raised to pay the actual expen-
ses land the possible consequences OF IA
tai termination. To this, NJ. Grosjean, a
gentleman known for the interest he takes
in discovering remedy, has replied that
an individual who shall be anonymous
has placed him In possession of the ne
cessary means, aud he now awaits the
c4pyenience Of NJ. Jaquemart to commence
the grand experiment. a..sr .s..

"I CannOe Swim.''

Such says the New York Day Book
was the agonizing ejaculation of hundreds
as they let themselves down into the wa.
ter from the Henry Clay, ~ cannot swim!'
+ What a terrible thought to one on board
a burning vessel. We can imagine moth
ing more SO, The idea that you must
sink downhelpless, hopeless, into the dark
sullen waters, and have them close over
you forever is the most horrid Of all cor
conceivable things. ~ -'- o.~ s.'.'l
How different from one who leaps in
perfect confidence into the deep, sinks
for moment beneath the surface, comes,
up, throws the water from his locks, and
strikes out boldly for the shore. He laughs
at danger and saves his life, amid the ag-
ony and terror Of hundreds, who sink to
rise no more. ...,.o... 49,. zr. .,.-,
Every boy and girl should learn to
swim. 1t costs nothing, not even trouble,
and is worth more than all the Latin and
music ever learned, A good swimmer is
not frightened out of his senses, and in
cases of imminent danger his services are
available ihmore ways than one, BY all
means learn to swim.
