A Magician put to flight.

At Vicksburgh, a few days since, witnessed
the following amusing scene: A conjuror, who
called himself Wyman, after going through the
usual feats of sleight- f-hand-such as burning
card, loading pistol with the ashes and firing it
into walnut, where the identical card was found
misunderstanding egg after egg from an empty
bag-pouring twenty kinds of liquor from one
and the same botte-breaking watches into
thousa nd pieces, mixing together the fragments,
and, after certain magical words, restoring them
to their owners just as he had received them--ard
with various other exhibitions of like character,
exposing the absurdity Of the old adage that
'sseeing is believing, he informed the spectators
that he was about to proceed to the grand and
most wonderful experiment of allowing gentle
man to load and fire a pistol, and he would catch
the ball in his hand. At this announcement,
decent looking in the crowd called out to
him to be on his guard. "Take good aim, said
the magician, ''or may miss the ball. The pis-
tol was fired, and Wyman, with look Of tri-
umph, held up his hand with the bullet. The ap-
plause that followed had hardly subsidized when
two pistols were fired, in quick succession, from
opposite directions; and in moment, he was
seen playing with ball in each hand. 'You
should not fire without notice. said he. 'you
might have killed me; it was my skill that saved
me.'' Scarcely were those words pronounced,
when voice in front called out, "You devil! be
on your guard!' Wyman saw pistol leveled at
him, but there was no time for exclamation-the
report followed, accompanied by crash that
told that the ball had entered plank his
head. "For Gods sake, gentlemen, this is no
joker "Here is another-you may have better
luck in catching this time" report and crash
followed before. The magician could stand it
no longer; but, uttering scream of terror, very
lrldicrously made his exit at side door, amid the
shouts and laughter of the company. The audi
ence waited some time, but the wizard did not
appear The confusion increased, benches were
demolished, lights extnguished ladies shrieked
&C., but Wyman was not forthcoming He had
nude his escape on the steamer General Pike,
internally resolving never again to catch bull
let in his hand on the banks of the Mississippi

Professional Gentlemen.

What asses most parents are. From some un-
accountable cause, they all wish to have their boys
become either Patrick Henrys or Blackstones,
ators or lawyers and yet Of all drugs, eloquence
and law are probably the most unproftable. Out
of the thousand attorneys ground out annually,
scarcely dozen reach any emlnence whatever,
while the remaining nine hundred and ninety
scarcely make their board bills. In this city, for
instance. out of the FIVE or six hundred lawyers
that hang out their shingles in our midst, only
some eight or ten ever heard outside their own
Offices. Mr.. Wheaton alone does about one half
of all the criminal and civil business that comes
before either county or district courts; what
sort of picking this leaves for others, read
ers are as capable OF guessing And
yet the profession is $50 geptee'' that foolish
old fathers and pride stuffed mammas, would ac-
tually prefer having their sons starve and mould
in this business, than become useful and wealthy
in any other. ....
- The idea that their ''suckling Ciceros'' should
ever descend, or rather ascend to 'toil and hard
hands, is perfectly preposterous that one would
run some risk of tasting leather if he should even
think of limiting it.. Labor is considered Vulgar !;
to work is ungentee1, the jack-plane is less re-
spectacle than the lawyer; green bag-the ham
dies oftheplough less dgniied than the yard stick
Unfortunate infatuation! Not dignifed! There
is no calling under heaven half so ennobling as
that of farmer. The patriarch of the field, as he
sits beside his cottage door, when his daily toll is
over, feels an inward calm, never known in the
bulls of pride or the Court of Chancery. His la
Dor yields him unpurchasable health and sweet re-
pose, and then what other pursuit offers SO a

In the agony of grief, Jeanette would receive
no comfort. In vain her husband strove to soothe
her, she would not hear a word in extenuaton of
her selfish conduct - .-.. - -

Years have passed away since then, and Mary
with her husband lie under the green sod of the
church yard. Jeannette has grey hairs mixed
with the bright brown of her tresses, but she
lives in home of splendor, and none know but
to bless her. There is Mary in her household,
dear to her as her own sweet children-she is the
orphan child of those who have rested side by
side for ten long years
Edward is rich, but prosperity has not harden

Women,s Rights.

The "rights and wrongs of women" having
been recently brought prominently before our cit
izens by one or two feminine lecturers, it may be
regarded not importune to print the views Of Ma.
THANIEL HAWTHORNE, an author of some note, on
the subject. Mr.. H. works are very generally
popular with the ladies, and they will read what
he has to say with some degree of interest. He
is eloquent: ..
"Despise woman! No! She is the most admi-
rable handwork of God, in her tue place and
character. Her place is at mans side Her Of
fee, that of the sympathzer; the unreserved, un-
questioning believer; the recognition, withheld in
every other manner, but given, in pity, through
womans heart, lest man should utterly lose faith
in himself; the echo of Gods own voice, pronoun-
cling cit is we'll done!'' All the separate action
of woman is, and ever has been, and always shall
be, false. foolish, vain, destructive of her best
and holiest qualities, void of every good effect and
productive of intolerable mschefs! Man is a
wretch without woman; but woman is monster
and thank Heaven, an almost impossible and
hitherto imaginary monster-without man as her
acknowledged principal! AS true as | had once
a mother whom loved, were there any prospect
Of woman's taking the social stand which some Of
them-poor, miserable, abortive creatures, who
only dream of such things because they have misc
ed woman's peculiIr happiness, or because nature
made them really neither man nor woman!--if
there was a chance of their attaining to the end
which these petticoated monstrosities have in
view, would call upon my own sex to use its
physical force, that unmistakable evidence Of SOW
regnty, to scourge them back within their proper
bounds But it will MT be needful. The heart
of true womanhood knows where its own sphere
is, and never seeks to stray beyond it." a re-

FANNY FERN.

THE FRAUD OF FASHIONABLE EDUcATIoN.-
The Southern Ladies' Companion has valuable
article upon the education of girls, from which
we extract an important passage: I r r
"The popular fondness for numerous and
snowy attainments, even were the system of
Teaching perfect, can lead to nothing but shallow
ness. Take up the plan or programme of our
fashionable schools, and ask yourself how could
it be otherwise! Here is four years college
course-forty months of instruction-and see
what is to be learned in that brief period. Take
a sample-Grammer, Arithmetic, Geography,
American History, Botany, Writing, Composition,
Rhetoric, Logic, Criticism, Algebra, Geometry,
European History, Evidences of Christianity,
Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Trigonometry,
Mensuration, Moral Philosophy, Latin, French,
Grecian and Modern History. Astronomy. Geolo-
gy, Mental Philosophy, Minerology, Animal Ply
sology, Rhetorical Readings, Instrumental Mu-
sic, Vocal Music, Drawing, Painting, Embroidery,
Ornamental Needle work, Wax work, Shell
work, ETC., etc. Here we have some twenty
sciences, two languages extensive historical read
ings, fine arts, and sundries, some forty distinct
studies to be mastered in forty months, and among
them two languages, the natural, moral and ex-
act sciences, and instrumental music. Perhaps
no student ever mastered those two languages
thoroughly in four years, (and Greek is often in
cluded.) and few, if any, ever become accomplish
ed performers o. the piano or harp in so short a
time. But by what magic is it that girls begin
ming Latin in the latter half of their junior year,
and French in their senior year, can master them
before the end of the course. Pardon for
speaking plainly; but we can hardy look on this
course as less than fraud. A girl studies Latin
twelve or fifteen months, and French half as long
at the same time having dozen other studies
on hand-and graduates with credit, and takes
her diploma as having taken the regular course,
Greek, French, Latin, and all. Is not the girl
cheated into the opinion that she understands the
lanouaees-of which she can know nothing Of
any value-and the parent cheated out of his
money! Any man capable of teaching the Ian
guages, knows that such mere smattering as
can be acquired in so short time. can be OF no
value to the student; then what is the object!-
What can it be, if be not to give false charac.
to the school, and get money virtually by false
pretences! Perhaps some palliation may be
found in the vitiated public taste, and the false
pride of parents, which leads them to seek as
large literary name as possible for their daugh-
ter whether true false; but this cannot, it would
seem, be full justification of trustees and teach
ers, who are the persons to correct those errors,
rather than by bowling to strengthen them. With
defective modes of teaching, and an amount of
studies pressed into the course, much greater than
could be compAssed by the best possible teach
ing, it must necessarily happen that female ed
ucaton must be superficial, and in the same pro-
portion inutile.' s@s

sandwich Islands Ladies--Riding.

"The Kanaka ladies dress themselves Ia cost
lier clothing than the ladies' at home. Their
dresses made of the finest of silks and satins,
after fashion of woman's night gown. They,
wear shoes and stockings. when full dressed, but
about their ordinary work they 60 barefoot
They live in blessed ignorance of the latest Pa

dictates. Fhey have none of the squeamishness

clothes, for when dressed in their best, Sun,
day, they may be seen sitting nat down in the
dust, at the sides of the streets. -
But It is when on horseback that they show to
the best advantage to foreigner. They are pas.
sionately fond of this exercise, and are fearless
riders, driving like Jehu. Imagine stout wo-
man, dressed in rich silks, with wreaths of green
leaves hanging about her shoulders, with mans
straw hat upon her head, with a wrath Of yellow
flowers round it, in lieu of a ribbon, mounted
astrde of horse. Then imagine long tranof
yellow or red silks, the middle ofwhich is fasten-
ed to the small of her back, and the ends of
which, after passing under her, the saddle, are
turned backward in such manner that, when the
horse is the galop, they futter out in the wind,
extending back on each side as far as the horses
tail; you have tolerably good idea of a Kanaka
taking an airing horseback. Saturday after
noon is sort of holiday with them, anu you may
ofsen see twenty of them, riding, all in company
through the streets of the town, always on the
gallop.' -1-

Coughing and Consumption.

A New York paper has the following, which,
we think, contains very suggestive hint for many
people. The influence of the mind in promoting
or retardng recovery from disease, is all power
full
''You speak Of coughing continually. Let me
suggest to you the query, whether this is not un
necessary and injurious. l have long been suits
fed, from experience and observation, that much
of the coughing which precedes and attends con-
sumption is voluntary. Several years ago, 1
boarded with who was in the incipient sta
ges of col sumption. slept in chamber over
his bedroom, and was Obliged to hear him cough
continually and distressingly. endured the an
noyance night after night, till it led ME to reflect
whether something could not be done to stop it.
watched the sound which the man made, and OBJ
served that he evidently made voluntary effort
to cough. After this made experiments on my
self, and found that could prevent myself from
coughing, sneezing, gaping, &c, in cases of the
strongest propensity to these acts. by strenuous
effort of the will. Then reflected that coughing
must be very irritating and injurious to the delicate
organs that are concerned in it, especially when
they are in diseased state. What can be worse
for liberated bronchia, or lungs than the violent
wrenchings of cough! 1t must be worse than
speaking. A sore on any part of the body,if it is
constantly kept open by violent usage, or made
raw again by confusion just when it is healing
(and of course begins to iteh,) Will grow worse
and end in death. Certainly, then, sore on the
lungs may be expected to terminate fatally, if it is
constantly irrtated and never suffered to heal; and
this, it seems to me, is just what coughing does
for it. On the strength Of such considerations as
these, made bold to ask the man if he could not
stop coughing. He answered no. | told him
what thought about it, as above. He agreed to
make trial; and, on doing so, he found 10 his
surprise that he could suppress his cough almost
entirely. The power of his will over it increased
as he exercised it, and in few days he was most
ly rid of the disposition to cough. His health at
the same time, evidently improved, and, when
last saw him, he was in strong hopes of getting
out of deaths hands,
This occurred eighteen years ago, and the man
comes round now, an active business man, aver
ring that he has not bad sick day since.>
