THE Clay ASD CuLLoM DuELLo.-A Washing

The Clay and Cuiiom, demonstration being

a pecUliaTiiy of the Clay aud Culi0m iuelI0,
and an illustration Of the blessings Of that de-
vice of chvalTy, Is the condition of Mrs Clay,
who is here with eight children, SIX OF seven OF
whom are down with that most frightfuF Of all
diseases, the scarlet fever. Is IL not true, as
some OF the Journals say, that she did not
know Of her husbands danger, for otonly had
her house been searched twice by the Police
here to lind linn, but he had been obliged 20
| tell her, in consequence ofthat search Hence,
added TO the grieis and perils Of large family
dangerously afflicted with scarlet fever, was the
danger Of their father and of her husbands be-
I ing shot. II IS said, however, that she endured
ita!l with Kentucky herOism, or fortitude, but
as women 10 Kentucky are made of the same
/ materials as other women elsewhere, don't be
lieye a word about "the heroisin,' or 'the foFti-

WHAT I LOvH.

o. how | love the wild storm King
His lightnings vivid fash;
His music deep and loud doth ring
In thunder's rolling clash.
From mountain peak to mountain peak
1t grandly peals along,
And valleys, as chorus, speak
The echoes of his song.
At such a time the soul is wild
With feelings of delight
The mortal hearts too tame, too mild
II trembles at the sight.
But the freed spirit knows no fear,
1t joins the spirit band
The burden of whose song is "IIere
God reigns, supremey, grand
But more love maiden fair
Scarce twenty summers old
With soul-lit eyes, dark chestnut hair,
And brow of classic mould.
Her heart as pure as driven snow,
Her mind with wisdom taught;
Her smiles that inward gladness show,
Her acts with kindness fraught.
Then nert love my native land
Sweet home of liberty
Our Union; may it ever stand
AS firm, as true, as free
As when our fathers framed the chart
That marks its natal day,
And taught their sons, with swelling heart,
To love America.
What most love is Natures God,
And all his wondrous ways;
In Solitude and on the sod,
| offer up his praise.
No glittering fame with gilded rod,
No sect, no rule for me;
As Natures child, to Natures God,
/ love to bend the knee.

SEPARATING THE Sexes IN ScHoorS-0n
this point, Mr. Stowe, celebrated Glasgow
teacher, uses the following language
youth of both sexes of our Scottish peasan-
try have been educated together; and as
whole, the Scotch are the most moral people
on the earth. Education in England is CIV
en- separately, and we never have heard from
practical men that any benefit has arisen from
this arrangement. Some influential indvidu-
ais there mourn over the prejudice on this
point. In Dublin, larger number of girls
turned out badly who had been educated
alone until they attained the age of maturity,
than OF those who we're otherwise brought
up; the separation of the sexes has thus been
found injurious 1t is stated on the best au-
thority that Of those girls edncated in the
schools of converts, apart from boys, the
greater majority go wrong within a month af-
ter being let loose in society and meeting with
the other sex. They cannot it IS said, resist
the slightest compliment or 1attery. The
separation is intended to keep them stIi .tly
moral; but this unnatural seclusion actually
generates the very principles desired to be
avoided We may repeat that it is mposs-
BILE to raise the girls as high, intellectually,
without boys as with them, and it is impossi-
bic to raise boys morally high without girls
The girls morally elevate the boys, and the
boys intellectually elevate the girls. But
more than this; girls themselves are morally
elevated by the presence of boys, and boys
are intellectually elevated by the presence of
girls. Girls brought up with boys are more
positively Intellectual, by the softening nfu-
ence of the female character In the Nor
nal Seminary at Glasgow, the most beneficial
effects have resulted from the more natural
course. Boys and girls, from the age Of two
or three years to that of fourteen or fifteen
have been trained in the same classroom,
galleries, aud Fairgrounds, without impro-
priety; and they are never separated, excep.
at needlework."

Hon MILroN S. LArHAM-Thanks to Hon
Milton S. Latham for a copy of his splendid
Grafton, delivered in San Francisco at the
La Fayette celebration, on the llh of Sep
tember. While the. old States allowed the
anniversary of the hundredth birthday Of La
Fayette to pass over without recognition, it
was reserved for California, a State conquered
from misrule and despotism, by the same free
spirit which sent the young Frenehmau hther
to assist in rescuing the Western World from
the fangs of oppression, to hail that anniyer-
sary with such demonstration as has rarely
been witnessed, even in a State remarkable
for its popular manifestations. Extracts from
Mr. Latham'S Grafton shall be laid before his
friends in the old States at carearliest leisure
We notice among the persons who partici
pated in the display alluded to, j. r. Haven,
Esq, as chief marshal, and Justice McAlis-
ter, who presided over tho ceremonies, besides
many Others familiar to the people of this and
other States.-Foyneys Philadelphia Press.
