SENTTMENTALIsM-Mrs. Swisshelm, noticing the
publication of a new love story, says
"An that stuff about woman's love has been said
over and over and over again a hundred 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 is very roman
TIC and womanly to love a scoundrel to leave her
directions unguarded by reason or experience, and
drl1t helpiessly into sin, shame and despair as an
evidence OF her unsuspecting womanhood.
It's not true that wOman's affections are any
stronger or durable than mans. We think the OPP
Posi'e Is the case, and that two-thirds of all the wo-
men who pine away or die of love. do so for the want
of something better to do. ~
Everything calculated to make love-sickness a
Iemlnlne requirement. is a great injury but to strew
the path of the suicide with the flowers of noesv and
romance is IN a degree reprehensible.
"Ihe best motto to guide young girls through the
mazes of love is, "Do right, and trust to Cod, 4
girl who has done no wrong has little cause to mourn
over the hekleness of a pretended lover. Better he
should change his mind before than after marriage,
That is the best piece of common sense we have
ever heard on the subject.

candle in charge to the porter, appeared to gu

there wrote several letters to his friends and re-

whom is living in Engand--the other is a mil

AT the Congress of Paris, Lord Claren-

which he at first treated the passage of Sucz
as impossible and when the Emperor dccar-
cd that he on his side found il, after having
examined the works of the international COM
mittce, lot only very possible, but even rel,,-
lively easy, and requested him to reason upod
this hypothesis, the English minister declared
that, even admitting its possibility, England
would probably oppose it for political reasons.

The opening of this avenue would shorten
by some Thousand Of miles the route from Lon
don to Calcutta. But it would make this route
still shorter from Marscilles to the Indian

The occupation of the Roman States by
France, its influence in Sardinia, its predomi-

Eof Greece, are all steps which tend to realize
the aspiration Of the first Napoleon, to make
the Mediterranean French lake. This canal
project, which would be practical occupation
Of Egypt also, would complete its ascendancy
The interests of the world do not lie in the
predominance of any single influence of this
kind but this country would feel the benefits
of the Canal across the Isthnus of Sucz, not
less than Europe would, the opening of the
Isthmus of Darien to ship navigation and we

AN Englishman has been fined thousand

A similar case, says a Philadelphia paper,
occurred at st. Petersburg in 1850. a young
American gentleman, the agent Of mercan-
tile house in Boston, having dined out in that
city, got q little excited with wine, and on his
return to his lodgings was obliged to crossgAd-
miralty Square, on one SIDE Of which the cques-
TRAN statue of Peter the Great is situated.--
A thought struck him as he looked mp at the
statue, that he would ike to take a ride with
the old gentleman. Upon the impulse of the
moment, and without thinking Of the conse-
aucnces, he ciambered over the iron ratings
which enclose the statue. ascended the enor-
mous pedestal rock, and mounted the gigantic
bronze horse, behind the Car Peter. He had
hardly got comfortably seated before he was or
dered from his elevated position By some of the
numerous police officers who are constantly on
the alert in that great city, and taken into Gus

TlNrlNG OF THE FoREsrs--T The tints which
are so remarkable in the foliage of our indigo
nous trees in the autumn, are not, as many
people suppose, attributable to the action of
frost. On the contrary, Whenever a severe
frost occurs in the month of September, or
carly in October, the colors of the foliage are
always injured by it. This may be observed in
the rusty appearance of the leaves, on the out.
side of the whole mass, which would otherwise
exhibit the brightest tints, being faded and
crisp. The autumnal tnts of the foliage are
the Accompaniment of the old age of the leaf
and may be produced in midsummer by any
circumstance that hastens their maturity aud
brings on premature old age. A.. +. .,-.
Chemists have attempted to explain the
cause of the green tints Of leaves as well as
their autumnal tints Carbon (according to
Scnnebier) is a very deep blue, and being seen
through the thin, yelowish onter bark of the
leaves, causes them to appear green. Hence
it is, that when from deficiency of light in
the process-of blending, the deep blue carbon
is not found plants appear no longer green
but yellowish white" $50
"The autuninal tints Of leaves MS remarked
by Macaxe of Geneva, arise from their taking
in oxygen during the. night, and being too fec
bic to open their pores for its escape during the
day. The oxygen thus confined, unitcs with
the materials of the pulp, producing various
acids, whose action is to change blues to reds
and consequently when the deep binc carbon
becomes thus tinged, it produces various shades
of orange, and other combinations Of red and
yellow" +.
