THE FEMALE HEART.-There is nothing under
heaven so delicious as the possession of pure.
fresh, immutable affections. The most iclicitous
moment of mans life, the most ecstatic of all
his emotions and sympathies, is that in which he
receives an avowal Of feeling. when ia their
youthful purity, are fountains Of unsettled and
gushing tenderness-the spell that once draws
them forth in the mystic light Of future years and
undying memory. Nothing in life il so pure and
devoted as a woman's love. Il matters not,
whether it be for "a husband or child, OF sister or
brother, 1t is the same pure unquenchable flame,
the same constant and immaculate glow Of feel
ing. whose undeniable touchstone is trial. Give
her but one token Of love- one kind word, or one
gentle look, even if it be amid desolation and
death--the feelings Of that faithful heart will
gush forth asa torrent. in despite Of earthly bond
or mercenary tie.
More priceless than the gems Of 6olconda. IS the
female heart; and more devoted than the idola-
try Of Mecca is woman's love. There is no sor-
did view, qualifying self-interest in the feeling
1t is principal and Characteristic Of her nature
IA faculty and iniatuation which abs0rds and
concentrates all the fervoF Of her soul, and oil
the depths Of her bosom. ] would rather be the
idol Of one unsuIied and one unpTaclised heart,
than the monarch Of empires. I would rather
posses the Immaculate and impasssiOned dev0-
I ton Of one high-souled and enthusiastic female
than the sycophantic iawnings OF millions

FASHIONABLE MANNERs.-There is a set of
people whom cannot bear-the pinks of fash
ionable proprety-whose every word precise,
and whose every movement is unexceptionable;
but who, though versed in all the categories of
polite behaviour, have not a particle of soul or
of cordiality about them. We allow that their
manners may be abundantIy correct. There
may be elegance in every gesture, and graceful,
ness in every position; not smile out of place.
and not step that would not bear the measure
ment of the severest scrutiny. This is all very
fine; but what want is the heart and gaiety of
social intercouse-the frankness that spreads
ease and animation around 1.-THE eye that
speaks affabiiity to all, that chases timidity from
every bosom. and tells every man in the compa-
ny to be confident and happy. This is what l
conceive to be virtue of the text, and not the
sickening formality of those who walk by rule,
and would reduce the whole human life to a
wirebound system of misery and constraint.

of dress and living as in the United States. II
is one the worst signs of the times. The habits
of this mushroom aristocracy are really disgnst-
ing. How it looks to see boys sporting diamonds
by the thousand dollars worth at time, whose
fathers were accustomed to the wheel barrows,
and whose children are pretty certain to be in
the work house. And girls, silly, simpering
things, weighed down with jewels and bracelets,
whose mothers broke their backs at the washing
tub, securing floors and picking oakum. The
real substantial aristocracy never indulge IN such
foppefies ana fooIeries

MAcAULAY.-I met Mr.. Macaulay one dpy last
week processionisiag along the old way, and ma
king Burlington Gardens e-echo the ferule of his
umbrella. The step Of the old historian was. to
llse a musical phrase, as staccato and firmly de-
terminate as ever. The keen grey eyes had lost
none Of their eager onward expression, and the
sternly drawn lines around the mouth worked
with the working Of the mind. Still, our Inn
preston was thet Mr.. AIacaulay was not look
ing we'll His face had lost its frshness of COM
plexion, and there was the sense of the hand of
accumulating years evident upon his brow. The
last accounts of the prospects Of the next two
volumes of the "History" were hardly cheering:
but as Mr.. Macaulav takes no share in the pro-
ceedings of the house, it is to be hoped that the
mighty task before him is being achieved slowly
but surely in the classic chambers Of the Albany
English Paper.

A CURE FOR LovE.-The question is sometimes
asked, s.What will cure lover Weanswer scis-
sors. Let the subject be shorn of hair and you
may take the word of Psychologist, that the
tender passion will lose its disunctiveness; it
may subside into respect; it is more likely to
change into less agreeable emotion.
? In man the hair is an excellent index of cha
racter. AS the beard distinguishes man from
woman so its full and luxurient growth often in
dicates strength and nobleness, intellectual and
physical; while meagre beard suggests an un-
certain character part masculine and part fem
inine. Was there ever a truly great nan, OF one
with generous disposition, with thin beard
antla weazen face On the other hand, show me
the man with .'royal locks, and will trust his
natural impulses in almost every vicissitude.
When we see a genuine man; upon whom Nature
has declined to set this seal of her approval, we
cannot help an involuntary emotion of admira-
tion for the virtuous and persevering energy with
which he must have overcome his destiny.

HENRY GAYS ADVICE TO YOUNG LAWYERs.-On
Mr.. Clay's last visit to the East, in an address
which he made to the students of the State and
National Law School, now removed from Ball
ston Spa to Poughkeepsie, after listening to their
speaking powers in the trial of fictitious cause,
he said, among other things :-''Wben com
menced my profession in Lexington, as there
was then no institution like this, was in the
habit Of exercising my speaking powers in any

shorter ones beside it into jurors: To this prac-
tice. in which had none of the facilities of in
