HEART ECHOES-
Old sopgs! they ring upon the brain,
/ Like whispers from the far off spheres
And with their thrilling spell revive
/ The garnered love of bygone years.
What though beneath the sod they lie,
That pale array of bonored dead;
/, In hues immortal round the heart,
Still, still hallowed beam they shed.
Old songs! Inever guessed how large
A space was in this heart of mine,
Till one dull eve by chance found
A well worn book, whose every line
Came back to me as clear as though
But yesterday I'd laid down,
And there found the wish hed-for clue =
That spoke Of days for ever flown.
Oh, when amid the world of doubts,
o. light aud shade in which we stray,
We seek some charm by which to drive
Some temporary grief away,
Let them who love such pleasure. court
The fayorites who entrance the throug;
For me, I'll find homelier scene.
And lul me with some dear old song.

Separating The Sexes in School,

On this point Mr.. Stove, a eele
brated Glasgow teacher, uses the fol
loving ianguag
The youth Of both sexes OF ou
Scottish peasaniry t'.ye been botf
educated together: and as a whole
the Scotch are the most moral people
on earth. Educatipn in England i;
given separately, end We have never
heard from practical men that any
benef, has arisen from The arrange
ment. Some Influential individuals
there mourn Over the lrtJndice on
this point. In Dublin larger num-
Der of girls tnrued cut badly Who
had been educated alone until they
attained The age of maturity, than
those who were Otherwise brought
up--ihe separation Of sexes has been
foond to be Injurious. 1t Is stated
on he best authority, that OF those
girls educated in schools or converts
apart from boys, the greater majority
go wrong within mouth after being
let loose in society, and meeting the
other sex. They cannot, 1t is said,
resist the slightest compliment OF
lpttery.
The separation is intended to keep
them strictly moral; but this unnat-
ural seclusiou actually generates the
very principle desired to be avoided
We repeat that it is as. impossible
to raise the girls rs high, intellec-
tualIy, without them --and it is i'm
possible to raise boys morally as high
without girls. The girls morally
elevate the boys; and the boys intel-
lectuslly elevate the girls. But more
than this gills themselves are nor.
ally ell waited by tie presence of
boys, and the boys are intellectually
elevated by the presence Of the glris.
Girls brought up with boss are more
positively intellectual. BY the soften
ing influence of the female character.
In the normal seminary at. Glasgow,
the most beneficial effects have resni-
led 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 ln toe same
class room, galleries and play grounds
without impropriety, and they are
never separated except at needle
work.

TIE Washington letter writer's almost

The Washington letter writers almost
all have something to say of the manner
in which Senator Seward was received in
the Senate, a few days ago. The rumor of
the intention Of several Southern Senators
to treat him discourteously, in such
marked manner US to attract attention:
nroved true. Rumor had connected the
names of but three Senators with this in
dignity. 1t was known that the persons
named had been the most constant, for two
wears past. npartaking of Ii ishospitalitics,
and greediIy feasting at the table of the
prescribed Senator, and it was, therefore,
not unusual to find this indication of in
gratitude from men of this type; but when
1t was found that the entire Democratic
marty. with the exception of Messrs. Doug
las and Pugh, were party to this discred-
table aud contemplate scheme, there
could be no doubt but that it was part OF
a programme, as yet but partially 'devet-
oped, of deliberately and intentionally in
sulting the distinguished Senator from New
York. The congratulations of the Repub-
lican Senators were cordial and hearty
and the apparent Inconsistencies OF the
Democrats to the return of Mr.. Seward to
the Senate, made no perceptible impression
upon him, as he neither avoided or sought
their presence, but appeared entirely occu-
pied by the attentions of his friends, and
utterly uumindful of the incivility of his
enemies.
