SxNTlNENTALIsN.-Mrs. Swiashelm, of the
Saturday Hsiior, noticing the publication of a
new love-story, says
All that stuff about womans love has bean
said over and over again fifty thousand times.
to the great detriment of The best interests Of
humanity. There is no kind of necessity for
using the press to persuade silly girls that it il
very romantic and womanly to love scoundrel
to leave her affections unguarded by reason or
experience, and drift helplessly into sin, shame
and despair, as an evidence of her unsuspecsing
womanhood.
II is not true that woman's affections are
stronger or more durable than mans Wethink
the very opposite is the case; and that two
thirds of all the women who pine or die for lovet
do SO for want of something better to do. Ev-
ery;hing calculated to make lovs-siokness be-
ccsning feminine accomplishment lie a great in
jury; but to strew the path of the suicide with
the flowers of poesy and romance is in very
high degree reprehensible.
The best motto to guard young girl through
the mazes of love is, "Do right and trust in
God" A girl who has done nothing wrong has
little cause to mosrn over the fckleness Of a
pretended lover. Better he should change his
mind before marriage than after.

How TO TALK TO THE DEAF -Messrs. Edi.or.:
Persons who are unaccustomed to converting
with the deaf, in talking to them, endeavor to
impart oertain force to their voices, which gives
them harshness that only confuses the sound
to the hearcr, strains the speaker and annoys
all present. when if they would only prolong
the sound, or pronunciation of each word, in
slightly elevated or smooth tone of voice, they
would be heard with much less difficulty.
Musical sounds are generally longer, and are
heard further than others of the same pitch :;
the vibrations in the metal of bells, and in mu-
scia strings, continue the sounds after the eaus-
es of them have ceased. The report of pistol
appears to be twice as loud as the fling Of Q
mill-saw, when we are but a short distance from
them, and yet the lattsn can be heard twice as
far as the former for the file not only makes .
longer sound, butthe vibrations of the saw COR
tinue it. In announcing steamboat arrivals, tn
prolonged shrill notes of the steam whistle ha
superseded the thunder Of the cannon IL ias
probable that the first impulse Of any sound 10
spent in overc oming the inertia Of the atmos-
phere, and that overcome, and the air put IN
motion, the remainder of the sound is waited
away by its indulations. An.

Every one has heard of the Wandering Jew,

quite so well known. There are several versions

+" This year (l229) an American archbishop
came to England, to visit the relics of saints
and venerable places, even as he had done in
other counties. He bore letters of recommen-
dation from our lord the pope TO the religious
and prelates of this kingdom. Having repaired
to St. Albans, to offer up prayers at the shrine
of the English rroto-martyr, he was received
with honor by the abbot and the convent. In
the course Of his sojourn here, he inquired par
ticularly of his hosts concerning the rites and
usages Of England and in return he related
to them many traditions of his own country

FAREWELL ODE.
ny MARY E. CARLTON.

We've met in sorrow and in pleasure,
To breathe our last farewell
To close the dream of youth in sadness,
And break its brightest spell.
YET we'll not sigh that time is fleeting--
That life's glad spring is DER;
For there's better place Of meeting,
Where we may part no more.
Well make the green earth our last pillow,
Fearless Of future i'll:
For He who Gained the raging billow,
Will whisper, Peace, be still"
Sisters, adicu the tie is broken,
That linked US in one chain ;
May it, when lfc's farewell is spoken,
In Heaven be bound again.

have little casket filled
With treasures rich and rare,
But the one prize the highest
Is an auburn tress of hair
Placed within golden locket,
Given by brother unto me,
When the morn of life was brightest,
Ere he went away to sea.
How loved my gentle brother,
As we wandered, side by side,
Culling flowers NIL wet with dcw-drops,
In our childish joy and pride,
Aud l listened to the accents
Soft and low he spoke to me
OF the far-oG boundless OCEAN
OF the dark, the wild blue sea.
How he longetl to be sailor,
Longed to leave his native home,
And upon the bright blue waters
With sailor joy to roam
And knew my brothers. spirit
Was all fetterless and free,
That he soon would leave his sister,
For a home upon the sea.
How wept in very anguish,
When he spoke the last farewell,
And the sorrow Of our parting,
None save those who knew can tell
Then he gave this golden locket
With the tress of hair to me,
Told me never to forget him,
While his home was on the sea.
And at morning, and at evening,
If the sky was bright and fair,
Or II clouds were gathered darkly,
Then knelt me down in prayer
And prayed that God would listen
In His mercy unto me,
And that he would guide my brother
Der the dark, the wild blue sea.
Years passed OLA mourning letter
Reached us from distant shore,
Bearing us the fearful tidings,
That my brother was no more.
Now this ittlo auburn ringlet
Is q treasure dear to me,
For my brother sleeps in sweetness, ...
Far beneath the wild blue sea. W.

The joys of Paradise among our Saxon an
cestors consisted principally in the tallest kinds
of flights. In their Paradise, called " Valballa,'
the departed spirits, as soon as they were dress
ed, went out to fight with each other. And
this fighting was no chld's, play, either, for
they pitched into each other with swords, pixies,
iron clubs, and similar weapons. Many of the
heroes were literally hacked to pieces in these
combats, but being now immortal, they re-
covered from such trifing accidents almost i'm
mediately, and at the close of the day, the whole
asscmblage, returned to Valhalla to drink beer
and mead by the gallon, until, we suppose,
they were all carried drunk to bed. The next
day was passed in another fight, and so on to
all eternity. What glorious place that would
be for our modern prize fighters. How they
would enjoy themselves in such heaven as
