they partook of glass of wine at hotei III
Boston, in company with few other gentle
men. at a commercial en- ter tainment. Consid-
ering that PHILLIPS never hesitates to bias

flying such small matters as murder ana arson,
in the Abolition cause, it is marvellous to see
how he strains ut wine. drinking. 1ntemper-

This unhealthy tree has caused great COM
plants, as n frightful source Of disease, in
most of our large cities. 1t is nuisance to
the public which ought TO be abated, either by
those to whom the trees belong, or by the au-
thorities. There are several places in our own
city infested by the Ailanthus, and it is be

Are Pecumiary or Criminal Remedies the
Best:

The Philadelphia Ledger remarks that the
recommendation of some journals that rail-
road directors shall be hung every time an ac-
cident occurs on their road by which life is
lost, Is an exhibition Of frenzy which diyerts
the public mind from the true remedy for rail-
road accidents. Whilst juries could never be
brought to hang for such crimes, they will in
nict pecnniary punishmentupon railroad CON-
panies for injuries sustained upon their roads.
The true remedy for the public, says the
Ledger, Is to make accidents more expensive to
railroads than the adoption of means whereby
safety is secured. Hence any company which
does not want its property swallowed up in
damages, will take care TO keep itself in such
good condition as will relieve it from the dan
ger Of accident. An additional security is not
to allow q railroad TO be built entirely upon
credit, which cripples it at every stage Of its
operations, and prevents II from using the pro-
per means 10 ensure the safety VI travel. Not.
withs,anding all that has been preached in the
public press about the duty OF putting rail-
road officers In penitenlaries and hanging
them for the accidents which occur, what one
OF them has ever been criminally convicted

injury done TO the interests Of the railroads by

THE ELECTION IN TExAs.--The Charleston
Mercury in commenting on the result OF
the election in Texas, attributes the defeat OF
The estate Rights Democracy 10 the advo-
cacy, by their candidate for Governor, OF the
revival OF the slave trade at least of n re-
peal of the Federal laws 10y which the impor-
Iation Of Africans is prohibited. To this ef-
feet the Mercury remarks Us follows:
1.-The State-Rights party of Texas started
an unnecessary and disastrous issue. They
made the re-opening of the slave trade The
great question iii the election, dividing their
own party and driving off many. The speeches
of the canvass Were filled chiefly with this
subject MIR. Houston saw his advantage, and
has ridden to victory over those who, on State
Rights grounds and resistance to Northern ag-
gression, had beaten him to the earth by over
Wheining odds. To the adyan tage given him
by this issue were added the memories OF the
past, which completed the work of his sue
cess. The State-Righ ts party of Texas have
brought defeat upon themselves by making an
imprac ticabie and mischievous issue. Let it
bc "a lesson to be remembered"

Too Close Application.

A contemporary remarks that "children
often suffer, both mentally and physically,
from too close, constant, and long-conts-
ned application in school, and in studying
for recitation" The remark applies not only
to children, but to young ladies at popu-
lar seminaries, where rivalry in intellectual
exercises is stimulated, and the physical con-
stttution frequently enfeebled for life by the
oyer-working of the mind. A sound body is
quite as impor tant to the welfare and happi-
ness Of the future mothers OF America as n
mind overloaded with every variety of know
ledge, including good deal that will never be
thoroughly digesed, and be of no prac teal
use to the possessor or to society. IL would
be difficult to over-rate the advantages OF men,
tai discipline to young ladies' but the system
OF training which is most desirable is not that
which makes requirements and accomplish
ments the exclusive, or even the principal aim,
and which regards the quality that can be
shovelled upon the brains the one Thing
needful In female education. The education
of men and women should have some reference
to their intellectual organization and capaci-
ties, and to tho sphere of action and duty
which they are hereafter to fill. II is not de-
sirable to give young ladies at seminaries
university education, and to split their brains,
uihtOTt LhelI splHes ana Dreak their hearts,
with high mathematical and metaphysical
studies, unless they have peculiar talent for
such investigations, which is not always the
case. A harmonious development of the NOR
al, physical, and intellectual being, is the kind
OF education that is most required. For the
cultivation Of the heart we may trust their
mothers, and of the mind, their teachers when
they do not load II with burthens too heavy

The effects OF excessive mental application |
upon the body at a time when the constitu.
ton ID immature are often injurious for life
from abroad, are struck with the ply steal de-
generacy and short lives of Americans, COM
pared with our primitive stock and with Eu-
ropean nations. Whatever the cause the effect
will be still! more Marked IL the system of |
over tasking the youthful intellect of Ameri-
can girls becomes universal. 1t is often re-
marked that the English woman is in her
prime Of health and beauty at forty, a period
Of life when that sex in our own country be-
gins to bend under the cares and labors of life |
The one is accustomed from her youth to out
door exercise and plenty of it; the other, to
an Indoor existence and now to an inteIlec-
tual forcing, which may make her very ac
compiished and ethereal, but which do not
increase her usefulness in society while they
impair her health and shorten her days.
