TO LOVERS OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE

TNHE Advertiser, Erenchman and grad
j uate of the Polytechnic School OF Paris, re-
specially offers his services as a teacher Of his
native tongue 10 Schools, Classes, and Private
Pupils of this city and vicinity The system he
follows TO facilitate the acquisition of the French
Language untes in due proportion theory and
practice; by which are avoided the difficulties the
student often meets with N pursuing one Of the
many theoretical grammars, not sufficiently show
ing the idiomaucal part OF the language or prac-
teal one, in which the necessary grammatical
rules if not entirely, AT east far TOO much, are
neglected. In following these theoretical gram
mars the student must have experienced that
after having devoted long time 10 The mere me-
morizng of sentences, he find himself in posses
sion of number of set phrases, valuable il is
true, but from which, destitute of landmarks, the
slightest deviation must lead him into unknown
regions.
The advertiser feels confident in the assertion
that the pupil in adopting his method, may, with
a little effort, after course of f0ry.eight lessons,
understand and speak the French, and find the as
sistance of teacher not necessary in the further
prosecution of the studies OF that language
Instruction in Pencil Drawing, Pastel Painting

lser.

Juvenile Thieves.--A recent number of the
Albany IN. " Kniekeybocksr says that four boys,
the Oldest about twelve years Of age, and the
youngest not more than seven, were arrested in
that city for stealing from half of the stores in
Broadway.
The little rascals, il appears, had things very
nicely organized Two of them acted as lockers
out for the police while the other Two did the
stealing To give g the taker" chance TO work,
his companion drew off the attention of the shop
keeper by trifing purchase of some kind. The
entire party were, however, captured and sent 10
Jail The youngest boy-under seven years Of
age-had been previously arrested for. stealing
and drunkenness no less than three times this
summer.
We want" continues the Kniekerbocker, an
institution expressly for the reformation of
grant children. Until we do have such an estab-
tablishment, it were folly 10 suppose that we can
have any lasting influence on juvenile crime"
The city of Washington, too, has its youthful
thieves, and occasionally they are detected in
their operations but, owing TO their tender age,
they are not always handed over TO the rudeness of
the police, 10 be dealt with according 10 law In
most cases where juveniles under twelve years
of age have been arraigned before justice Of The
peace, they have been bound over, probable
cause" appearing, and this generally terminates
all further proceedings. Having escaped punish
ment for their first acts Of dishonesty they
again al large 10 indulge their vicious propensi-
ties Once in a while--about as often 5 the day
of special thanksgiving and prayer is fixed, which
is once year--a boy is convicted and sent to Jail
for limited period, and, while there, is placed in
association with hardened villains, who teach him
their code Of morals, and impart instructions cal.
cula,ed TO make his heart as thoroughly wicked as
their own.
For years this community has felt the great
want Of a house Of correction or reform where
Juveniles may be watched over with, as il We're,
parental eye aud efforts made 10 inspire them
with love Of honesty applicable 10 all the de-
partments of life, with view 10 future useful
ness. That this subject is important no one will
deny, but. unfortunately, we have not enterprise
enough in Washington, just now, TO hurry on the
benefcent plan TO consummation

III Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
10 the public, is attracting great attention, not only
by reason OF the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by IL, but also because
there nre So great number OF people who af
nicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman. who discovered the efficacy of his rem
edy' is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is a physician IN whom
grea, confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been long needed, has attractedthe attention
ofa sufferers from headache who have heard Of il.
From our own knowledge of Dr. Eastmans char
acter and practice, we have nodoubt that the med
icinc deserves the favor il receives and that will
prove 10 he a great benefit TO all who may give il

woMAN's LOVE.

When man is waxing frail,
And his hand is thin and weak,
And his lips are parched and pal,
And wan and white his cheek ;
Oh, then doth woman prove
Her consistency and love
She stitch by his char,
And holds his feeble hand
She watcheth ever there,
His wants 10 understand;
His yet unspoken will
She hasleneth 10 fulfil.
She leads him, when the moon
Is bright DER dale and hill,
And all things, save the tune
OF the honey bees, are sui,
Into The gardens bowers,
To sit midst herbs and flowers.
And when he goes not there,
To feed on breath and bloom,
She brings the posy rare
Into his darkened room;
anu HcutH us "euTy Heau
The pillow smooth doth spread.
UnliI the hour when death
His lamp of life doth dim,
She never wcarieth,
She never leayeth him,
Still near him night aud day,
She meets his eye Away.
And when his trials DER,
And the turf is on his breast,
Deep in her bosom's core
Lie sorrows unexprest;
Her tears, her signs, are weak,
Her settled grief 10 speak.
And though there may arise
Balm from her spirits pain;
And though her quiet eyes
May sometimes smile again;
Still, still, she must regret;
She never can forget
