ASSOCIATION OF THE SExEs.-The natural
and only safe mode of enjoying amusements,
is in common. Where one sex, or any one
particular class, enjoy their amusements alone,
they are sure to run into excess. The diyi-
sion of the human family into man, woman
and child, father, mother, brother and sister,
is the only conservative principle Of society
they act and react upon each other like the
different seasons Of the earth. Each age and
each sex has its peculiar characteristics, that
serve to modify and check certain misehievous
tendencies in the other sex, and in others oil
different ages. For one sex to attempt Ia
amuse themselves agreeably and innocently
alone, is like trying to make music on one
stringed instrument.

DEATH IN BALL RooM.-The Rome On.
W Sentinel says that Miss Ellen Pike, a
young lady aged about eighteen, died on the
bali room floor at Taberg. on Friday morning
last. She was attending dance, and while
on the floor complained Of feeling faint, and
almost immediately fell over and expired
without uttering word. Two older sisters
were also at the ball
Upon reading this, are we not forcibly struck
with the language of scriptures: "In the
midst of life we are in death" She received
her summons amidst the reyelry and gaiety
of life. How deeplyshould we reflect on the
words, aBe ye also ready" She may have
been, for we are net one to believe that ra-
tioual enjoyment is incompatible with chris
tianity.

Black eyes most dazzle at ball;
Blue eyes most please 1t evening fail;
Black conquest soonest gain;
The black bespeak lively heart;
Whose soft emotions soon depart;
The blue a steadier fame betray,
That burns and lives beyond day;
The black may features best disclose;
In blue may feelings all repose;
Then let each reign without control,
The black all mind-the blue all soul.

A SCENE AT THE HARVARD LAW SCHOOL.
Yesterday morning, while Professor Joel
Parker was addressing the students of the
Cambridge Law School upon Constitutional
law, he adyerted, for the purpose of illustra.
ton, to the mission of Mr.. Hoar to South
Carolina. Hereupon the Southern students
present felt impelled to Indulge in applause
This being rightly construed by the Northern
boys as an expression of approval of the con-
duct of the South Carolinians towards Mr..
Hoar, they responded with Kisses. Professor
Parker exhibited much feeling at the unusual
demonstrations, and, in expressing his regret
at the occurrence, took occasion to remark
that, for twelve years past, similar exper-
fence had not befallen him as lecturer

A FTER long practical experience, and that
IN fully testing large variety of sewing Ma
chimes now before the public, my convictions have
forced me to adopt the WHEELER x WILSON
Machine as the best for Family, Plantation, and
general use, ever invented. Among the advantages
it possesses over every other Machine, are:
LIST. Elegance and simplicity of construction,
and consequent freedom from arrangement and
need of repairs.
Cd Durability, ease, rapidity of operation, and
noiseless movement.
Sd. Beauty of stitch, frmness of seam, and econ
omy of thread.
lth. Applicability to variety of purposes and
materials.
5th. The "Hemmer," an attachment which no
other Machine has.
9th. 1t will sew from one thousand to fifteen hun
dred stitches in minute, and is equal, in dispatch
of work to at least
Twelve SeamstreSSeS.
The machines, in variety of pattern and style
of finish, from the plainest to the finest parlor
melodeon attachment, may be seen at my Office
give every purchaser full acknowledgements
the machine, and keep it in order for one year,
free of charge, except in case of unfair usage.
The public are respectfully invited to call and
see for themselves.

EFFECTS OF CLEANLINEss.-With what
care and attention do the feathered race wash
themselves, and put their plumage in order
And how perfectly neat, clean, and elegant do
they appear Among the beasts Of the field,
we find that those which are the most cleanly
are generally the most gay and cheerful, or
are distinguished by certain air of tranquil
ty and contentment, and singing birds arc al
ways remarkable for the neatness of their
plumage. So great is the effect of cleanliness
upon man, that it extends even to his moral
character Virtue never dwelt long with
filth nor do believe there ever was person
scrupulously attentive to cleanliness who
was consummate Fillian-Cottnt RuDaford.
