an 0ratori n a tight Corner.

l remember once, when | was young
mau living up in w-Hampshire. they
dedicated a new bridge, and invited a
young lawyer to deliver an oration. The
lawyer bad never yet, after fortnights
practice, bad the honor of being retained :,
and the opportunity of establishing rep
utation was admirable. The day came;
and with it came the multitude and the
orator. He had made no written prepa-
ration, that being, he had been told, un-
lawyer like lawyer being supposed to
be capable of speaking without note or
notice any number of hours, on any sub
ject, in style of thrilling eloqueuce. So
our orator trusted to the occesion. He
stood out upon the platform. and amid
the profound attention of his audience,
commenced
"Fellow citixens-Five and forty years
ago, this bridge, built by your enterprise,
was part and parcel of the bowling will

fellow citizens, only 6se and forty years

The San Juan Affair.

The English journals generally eompil.
neut the American Press on the tone OF
forbearance and moderation with which
IL has discussed the San Juan differences.
We wish our cousins would praise us less
and initiate US more. When they talk
about Gen. Harney's movement as "oDe
of those acts of piracy" by which the
United States are in the habit Of settling
disputes With wesker neighbors, and urge
the neccissity of at once chastising 1.-THE
lieenced rufians of the Federal army,
they do not in the least facilitate the pa
ci6c adjustment of the dispute. We have
not the slightest apprehension that any
war will grow out OF the controversy. Ii
Mr.. Buchanan had intended at any time
to insist upon our extreme rights 10 that
Quarter, be would not have sent Gen.
Scott to reap the honors of SO doing
We regard the fact that be was ordered
thither as at least presuuptive evidence
that the British claim will be conceded
Bot it 10 scarcely worth while for the
English journals to presume upon this
fact so much in advance. We Should be
sorry to have our satisfaction at the pre-
servation of peace marred by any recol-
lections of needless insult from the other
side.

mot total absence Of physical education.
If the muscles we're called upon as siren
uously as The memory to show what they
could do. the long train of schoolgirls
who institute the romance of the coming
genertion would flock nerrily tito ten thou
sand hoaes, instead Of parting of-some
to gladden. their homes, certainly, but too
many to the languid lot Of invalidism, or
to the actual sick room; while an inter-
miuable procession of them is for ever on
its way to the cemetery-the foremost
dropping into the grave while the num-
Der is kept up from behind. Many
survivor will be still wondering. with
grandc children round the 6re, that this
and that and the other pretty or clever
schoofellow should have died so early;
and at the same time, papa, at thirty, will
remark on the Dumber of the fellows who
left the school with bin who have had to
60 to Madeira. Some have rallied; but
for most it was merely the choice of a
grave under the myrtle there, or ir the
sea, or in the cemetery at home.
When dragon devoured youths and
maidens in ancient times, somebody was
always found to 60 out against him, and
to conquer him at last. We rust not bc
less watcbful and devoted than our FORE
fathers. We must rescue our youths and
uaidens from an early doom.
