Mrs. Van Nootea's Seminary.--It will be
perceived by advertisement, that the quarterly
review of this institution will commence on the
4th of July, when parents and guardians are in.
vitsd to be present and witness the proficiency
in their studies which their children and wards
have made. 1t Unjust be a source of qualification
to the community and to the parish, that this
seat of learning and refinement for our fair
daughters, has proved so successful since its
establishment amongst US, while contending
against many and serious disadvantages. Its
fame is now intimately associated with the high
reputation of its estimable and accomplished
principal, and it is to be hoped that it will still
improve In strength and usefulness as time
progresses.

Bayou Plaquemine.-The surveying Of tha
Bayou, to which we alluded last week, is fol
the purpose, as we understand, Of finding the
fall from the mouth to Indian Village, previoa:
to building works, as ordered by the last LIE.
gislature, for keeping out the drift. We do moi
know the precise plan devised for this purpose
but we learn from those who have a thorough
knowledge of the bayou, that, admitting that
any description of work could be built which
would effectually prevent drift wood and i'm
mense RATS from going into the bayou. it would
cost a sum far exceeding any appropriation the
State could give. Forty-fve years ago, when
the mouth of the bayou was very small in com
parison to- what it is now, q Mr. FuLToN en-
deavored to prevent the drift from going into
the bayou. He erected floating works two hum
dred feet in length, one erd extending out into
the river, and powerfully secured by three
large anchors, but a rise only Of len feet water,
with the drift accumulating, swept it away, and
the project was abandoned. This $4,000 ap-
preparation, now made BY the last Legislature
to attempt the same thing, like many other of
its acts, has been passed without thought or
wisdom, and will be just so much money
thrown in the Mississippi, and lost to the peo-
pie.

Life in the C~ountry--The very talented and
eloquent editor of the Crescent, (by-the-by we
should like to know who he is,) in an article
in that paper of Monday last, has the following
respecting a Country Life-every syllable of
which we endorse with all our heart:
All! who would not live in the country if
they ~could-enjoy the exl'ilarating effects of an
atmosphere teeming with the wealth Of rifed
| roses; watch the tender shoots in their growth
from immaturity to Tii,nenness; wander through
droves ofbig cattle, luxorious'y id.a? lie in the
shade of trees as ~oracular as the oaks of Dodona
and as beautiful as the pines of Mount Ida; be-
hold the long lines of light quivering in the far
away foliage, and either study, labor or repose,
as inclination may direct. There are some for
tunate mortals to whom it is given to enjoy all
these blessings, and there are others who may,
enjoy them through a portion Of the year. Yes,
and alas there are others, who, as wistful for
the comforts, the quiet and the repose of the
country as any of them-as much attached TO
trees and brooks, and birds and flowers, as their
most noisy wo%rshippers-are fated to the prison
life ~ofcities, and the eternal endurance of brick
and mortar.
The pride and poetry of a city exists during
the Winter. i neatTeS, oaiIs, parties, coy oln-
ners, and comfortable evening calls, when the
air is chilly and nipping, are very endurabIe
and pleasant; but all the true enjoyments of
dozen seasons cannot equal or approximate to
that of a single week in the country. There is
an expansive, genial, kindly influence out among
the works of Nature that makes the heart grow
as well as the body, and cultivates and improves
the intellectual as well as the corporeal sys-
tenn. Conyentionalities are, for the time, for.
gotten, and one feels at liberty to seek enjoy
ment as he sees fit. Commend us to the plea
sures of an old plantation, or the delights of a
home by the sea-shore. Every encomium that
has never been written in their favor we cordi-
ally endorse, and trust that there may be in
our future some white days freighted with the
quiet sense of happiness they inspire.
If that day should ever come, just wend your
way along in this direction, about the month of
May, and we will take you to some of those
lovely spots which you so enthusiastically love
and it is an honour to your nature that your
heart is t~inctured with such a love.
