Female Character.

If the female who Airts and plays the
coquettc, could but realize the detriment
to her reputation which is sure to follow
upon her thougbtless levity, there would
be less cause for and less actual yepent-
once, among the fair sex, than one meets
with, at this time, in every day life
Could every lovely woman feel and be-
lieve how differently the sensible Of the
opposite sex enjoy the society and smile
of the sound-minded, well informed fe-
male, as compared with the silly, giddy,
heartlcss "belle" of the day--how diff
ferent would be the department of thou
sands in society who are now reared on
ly for display and coquetry.
And yet, such is the present forma-
ton of society, that woman is not over
cautious in regard to her good name, in
the above particular She has been
taught the art of aiming to please the
other sex, and she faunts, and chats,
and smiles and frowns with but ono OBJ
ject--that of rivalling some other "belle"
in the coteric where she flirts for the time
being and this is fashion. Well and
truly does a cotemporary remark that 80
woman reputation is indeed jewel so in
timately connected with her true hapn-
ness, that to barter il for any considera-
ton, we're loss eventually irreparable."
There is a certain something in tho
ordination of human affairs, in the organ
ization Of society, which demands from
the female sex the highest tone Of purity
and strictest observance Of duties por-
tanning TO womans sphere. There has
always existed marked difference in tho
measure Of rcproach cast upon the sexes
for similar faults. Woman must suffer
in the dust, she may be cast down in an
instant, from the loftiest cminence, from
trivial faults, while man walks proudly
upright. and penetrates the highest cir
cles, though covered with his vices.
Reputation is all 10 woman, yet breath
may soil it. Would she preserve the
priceless jewel, she cannot be too cautious
in her department, Or in choosing her
associates. by all means should she
avoid giving encouragement TO a long
train Of different admirers. Am. Union.

A Word Union Education.

When Agesilaus, King of Sparta, was
asked what he considered most necessary
for boys to learn, his reply was "Those
things which they will be called upon to
perform when they become men" The
wisdom Of the answer is universally con
cedod but its true applicability is little
understood or appreciated by those who
have assumed the management of our
schools---at least Of the higher semina-
rics in this country. While there is
little taught in these that may not, pos
sibly, come in rcquisition during the
lifetime Of any man, it cannot be denied
that many things are neglected, if not
wholly omitted, in most colleges, which
their pupils will assuredly be "called
upon to perform" when they come upon
the stage Of active life.
1t is submitted, with all due Difference
to those most skilled in scholastic lore,
whether it il not time TO bring our system
of school instruction more within the
range Of the spirit Of the age we live
in, and to adapt it more to the wants of
our people, and the circumstances Of
climate, Of government and pursuits in
which we are placed or engaged p

languages" and the "modern sciences"
offer quite as profitable fields for research
TO the young men Of this country, and
certainly present things more likely to be
required Of them when they shall become
men; yet, in how few Of our long
established seminaries are these things
taught with any degree Of thoroughness
or considered Of practical moment; ant

the philosophy or character of the pur-
suits in which they arc to be engaged.
1t is then, they find, they are compelled
to begin to learn those things which they
are 'called upon to perform" It is
then they>commence their real education,
while, as this advances, those studies
which they have spent yerrs of toll and
anxiety over, become gradually obliter-
ated from their minds, and perhaps en-
tirely forgotten for all practical purposes,
before their journey Of life is half over.
The great advantage to be urged in
favor of the present course, Cor of some
of the branches pursued in our colleges,)
over the knowledge to be obtained from
the current publications of the day and
from intercourse with mankind, is that,
under the former, the mind is brought
to systematic course of reasoning,
which is found of great utility in after
life, in the enterprises and pursuits in
which the man may become engaged. =
The training which the mind receives in
acquiring knowledge of ancient and
abtruse sciences, such as are usually
taught in the seminaries Of which we are
treating, fits it much more readily TO
comprehend the newer and more imme-
diately required branches when they are
presented in the channels Of business
through which they are usually brought
to our notice. Still, this advantage is
insufficient to Justify the exclusion from
our public schools Of those branches of
learning which it is known will become
of direct utility, if not Indispensable in
the pursuits which the student will or
may follow for livelihood.
The obstacles to the necessary reform
in this thing lie with parents who are
content to leave the education of their
children entirely to the Judgment or taste
of those whom they pay for educating
them, and with teachers who thought
they had learned all that was worth learn
ing when they had finished their edu-
cation" The present system has been
going on for centuries, with little change,
except, perhaps, the introduction of new
methods of teaching ancient languages,
or in new modelling of those languages
by persons who assume to know them
better than did those who lived nearer to
the time when those languages were
spoken. The system of teaching and
the class of studies pursued, were mainly
handed down to us by the monks of the
middle or dark ages, without whose in
tervention we should now have been,
probably, without connecting link to
unite us to the learning of the previous
time; but who considered all further
knowledge than that which they rescued
from oblivion, and taught to their dis
ciples as tending to in6delity and heresy.
Few who have been educated under this
system have the courage or care to look
any further Washington Spectator.

The COurtesies OF Life.

Under this head the Philadelphia In
1uirer has some judicious suggestions
If we look to men of success in any av-
ocation of life, we find that with few ex-
ceptions, they have been persons of cour-
teous department and generous impulses.
We extract few passages worthy of at
tention, especially by the young.
"a bland and polished gentleman
Polite and kind to ALL"
"We have more than once alluded to
the beauty of courtesy in the ordinary
transactions of life. The subject is an
important one, although it may not seem
so to the hasty and inconsiderate. Many
man has lost fortune in consequence
of the want of little courtesy. Amen
ity of manner and propriety of language
should be constantly cultivated. They
possess a magic and a charm that are
admirably calculated to soothe and con
ciliate. 1t is almost impossible to con
ceive how, at times, a kind word or ,
gentle look touches the heart. The
effect, although instantaneous, lives ant
fingers for years. There are many lit
tie and comparatively insignificant acts
that nevertheless develope character ant
exercise influence. If, therefore, cour.
tesy be constantly adhered to and care.
fully practised, the effect cannot but be
great. And if it be as regularly viola
ted and neglected, the influence must be
pernicious.
THE little courtesies of life cost no.
thing, and yet their value cannot be
over-estimated. Amenity of manner
has power that is felt more or less in
every walk or sphere. 1t imparts an
additional lustre to beauty, while it robs
deformity of much of its repulsion. -
Who indeed, cannot point out some for
chile illustration?
"Thcre arc thousand nameless little
sayings and doings, which serve to sweet
en- the pathway of life, and impart to the
social circle, degree of refinement and
delight that to be appreciated must be
enjoyed. BY courtesy of manner, We
do not mean constant effort to be dig
nifcd and precise, or rigid adherence
to certain rules and formalities. Far
from it, The heart should speak on
such occasions, and the genial spirit of
sympathy should be distinct and appa.
rent. An act of courtesy is never out
of place. Tn high life or in low, it is
like beam of sunshine in the social
world, which it at once softcns and brigh-
tens. 1t may be recognized in the beg
gar as well as the king. The proprietor
cannot be too kind or considerate to those
in his employ. All should be treated
not only as human beings with human
sympathies, but as sensitive and susccpt-
ible, and as capable, as well of under
standing an act of rudeness, as of APP
preciating one of kindness and good
will.
"There is enough roughness and as
perity among mankind, the natural re-
suits of different views, collisions Of trade
and clashings of interest. Let us, then,
whenever VIC can, adopt the gentle and
the generous policy, the refined and the
considcrate, and thus afford pleasure, by
the exercise of the many little courtesies
which all have more or less at their COM
mand. but which too many neglect 10
employ in their intercourse with their
fellow creatures"

BEAUTY EVERYWHERE.

BY FREDERICK WRIGHT.
There Is beauty in the skies,
When noon-day suns are bright,
II glances with ten thousand eyes
Thro' shadows of the night;
When morn with rosy blush is seen
To wake-there's beauty there
And evenings golden clouds proclaim,
We, too, of beauty share.
Old oceans ever swelling tide,
The placid lake and still,
The rivers rolling in their pride,
The ever sparkling rill
The mountain top, the verdant plain,
The desert rude and bare,
Attest, by every varied scene,
That beauty dwelleth there.
The opening buds Of joyous spring,
Its choral hymns ofpraise,
The velvet bloom on summers wing,
Its bright and cloudy days;
The autumn clad in russell shroud,
With treasures rich and rare,
Old hoary winter shouts aloud,
There's dazzling beauty here.
There's beauty in the hut and hall,
Where sweet contentment dwells,
Should science move or knowledge call,
The voice of beauty swells;
With childhood's silken locks tbs blent,
With manhood $ proud career:
While age mature in virtue spent,
Both heavenly beauty share.
