s1s- The Wheeling intelligeneer says
that twenty-five years aco the father of
NJ P. Ward, who killed Prof Taylor,
of Louisville, was with difficulty re-
strained from attacking teacher who
had moderately chastised his son. The
son is now a confined criminal, charged
with killing the teacher Of his youngest
brother. "Verily, the influence Of a
good Or bad example reaches far, far in
to the future"

D@Js We can learn to read and write,
but we cannot learn raillery, that must
be a particular gift Of nature, and, to tell
the truth, l esteem him happy who does
wish to acquire it. The character Of
sarcasm is dangerous. Although this
quality makes those laugh whom it does
not wound, it nevertheless never pro-
cures esteem. Orenstlern.

ErMALE LOVE.

How very few women have ever been IN
love How very few even marry from cleo
ton They marry because they are asked,
and because the marriage is suitable. It IS
their vocation to be married parents sp-
prove. aud they have no other attachment
ANY obserYantperson living in society, where
there is continual marrying and giving in
marriage. must Be struck with this fact -
Cupid,s duiver must be exhausted, or bis ar
row bludt-he ,pjerces few hearts now. ]
am inclined to1think that girl really in
loye-one who bore the symptoms Of the
malady-wouId be thought very improper,
vet have often fancied that there must De
a man born il the world for every womaH--
one whom is see would be to love, to reTer-
ence to adore-one With whom our symsa-
thies would 50 entirely blend, that she would
| recognize him at once as her true lord, Now
and then those pairs come together and
/ woe to her that meets this other sslf too
| latel Woman would be more humble and

and tboughtlessness, measure the tempta
