that it is only impaired at the cost OF health

lady Of exquisite beauty, who was driven
taad by being suddenly startled by her maid.
The lady's name is H, and size resided
with her husband, Mr.. II, a wealthy
shareholder, at splendid mansion in Ca
vendish square. One evening about six
weeks ago, she strolled in the dusk into her
husbands library to procure book. The
lady's maid saw her enter the apartment,

Che curtains belonging to the window, unit
her mistress had placed her hand upon the
work she came in search of, when she sud

The lady was so astounded by the shock,
that she was struck almost senseless. De-
Iirium ensued; confirmed madness followed,
which has ever since continued without a.
batement, to degree dan gerous to all who
come near her. Her propensities are fierce
and vicious; she tries to bite at all who ap-
proach her, and it is more than probable she
will never recover her reason.

OLD AGE. beautiful is old age J.
The sun is ever brightest when it is about
to sink below the horizon and hide it's ra-
diant brow behind the curtains of peaceful
sleep 1t is in the evening that the nigh
tingale sings its sweetest song, and it Is in
autumn time that nature is ripest and looks
most golden and beautiful; how can it be
then that the sunset of life should be less
Joyous and cheerful than it's meridian? p
Everybody says that old age is an evil, and
Everybody believes it, too, foc he has had the
words drilled into his mind thousand times
but how many have found that ..the fear of
i'll exceeds the i'll we fear and that the en-
|joyment of life suhers,no elimination from
the increase Of years.
Age is a mighty thing. Ithas triumphed
over the trials OF life. aud flushed with VIC
tory 1t awaits its reward From bloodless
lips, the youth, as he sits gazing into the
wriukled features and lacklustle eyes before
him, hears the experience Of the past; he is
warned OF the shoals and quicksands of life,
and directed to the noblest channels and
heeds the warning. Thus age is mighty a.
gain for into the hot blood of rising genera
tions it sends its own genius and directs its
course.
Age is holy thing; il is the Sanctuary
OF well spent lives; it is the temple at the top
Of the ladder of existence, where totterin Q
limbs and wearied hearts may find repose,
whence they may look back without regret
upon the great world they are so soon to
leave, With smiles of encouragement to those
who are still struggling amidst the stormy
waves of fortune, and then turn and gaze
with yearnng eyes upon the portals of that
wondrous spirit realm that will soon unfur
and give them entrance to the glories of the
Lord,

The WAY THE ENGLISH BRING Up Chill
DnEN The English bring up their children
very differently from the manner in which
we bring up ours. They have an abundance
of fresh, outdoor air every day, whenever
it is possible. The nursery maids are ex-
pected to take all the children out airing
every day, even TO the infant. This custom
is becoming more prevalent in this country,
and should be pursued wherever it is prac-
ticable. Infants should be early accustom-
ed to the open air. We conGne them too
much and heat them too much .or vigo-
rous growth One of the finest features Of
the London parks is said to be the crowds Of
nursery maids with their groups Of healthy
children. 1t is so with the promenades Of
our large cities to a great extent, but is less
common in our country towns than what it
should be. In consequence of their train
ing, English girls acquire habit Of walking
that accompanies them through life, and
gives them healthier middle life than our
women enjoy. They are not fatigued with
a walk Of five miles, and are not ashamed to
wear, when walking, thick s6lei shoes fit
ted for the dampness they must encounter.
Half Of the consumptive feebleness of our
girls results from the thin shoes they wear,
and the cold feet they must necessarily have.
English children, especially girls, are kept
in the nursery, and excluded from fashiona-
bic society aud all the fiivolities Of dress, at
an age when our girls are in the very heat
of Irritation, and are thinking Of nothing but
fashionable life.

IMPORTANT FROM AR1zoNA-Ms Page
stiW Alire.-TUscAN, April l, 1860.-Mrs
Page is still alive, is no longer with the In
dians, and she has passed through actual
trials, hardships and difficulties, during the
last fortnight, exceeding in thrilling interest
any Of the most highly wrought pages Of ic-
ton. Last night messenger arrived here
from the Santa Rita Pinery, with letter
for Mr. John Page, stating that his wife
had come in alive, after enduring almost in
credible trials. Mr. Page Immediately set
out accompanied by physician, aud every
thing possible to be dehe for her relief will
be done. It seems, from what we can learn,
that Mrs. Page, probably the day following
her seizure by the Indians, finding that her
friends were on the trail, refused to 60 on,
and her savage masters lanced her in seve-
raj places, and left her for dead. After
some time she revived to find herself weak
from loss of blood with wounds still open,
footsore from her previous trials, without
food, and miles from any habitation. What
d position for a young woman Of eighteen
summers-a bride Of two months whose
life hitherto had been all sunshine? Through
all these trials Mrs. Page struggled for two
weeks and dragged her emacipated form
By degrees towards the home from, which she
had so lately been rudely torn by the ruth
less savages. No ole suspected her pre-
sence in the mountain, and those who were
looking for intelligence from her thought she
was miles away amid the haunts Of the red
mar. How she was enabled to suffer so much
and reach home at length is Incompetent

Japanese Pecullafities.

The japanese, during their stay in San
Francisco, have exhibited a great many Pc
culiarities, which may be interesting to ma
ny readers, and we believe, have not been
told before. They have all shown theinse-
yes very easily pleased, and exceedingly
well bred. When asked to try some dish
new to them, they do 50; if they like it they
continue eating expressing themselves plea
sed; if not, they taste no more. but never
express dislike. The Ambassadors are very
dignifed, and command respect. The infe-
rior officers never enter their apartment t
without bowling, and the servants invariably
drop upon the knee.
They are all very light eaters, but they
take their meals very quiekly;almost every
thing they do slowly, but eating with them
Ii rapid operation. The subordinates eat
nothing but rice; but the dignitaries are
fond OF sweetmeaIs, cakes, CONNECTIONS of all
kinds, and sauces. None Of them eat any
meat, except that the dignitaries take lit
tie chicken, and none OF them use either
milk or butter. They drink both tea and
coffee, and are no sooner through with their
meals than they go to smoking their wild
tobacco in small pipes.
They are all very apt at learning any,
thing. The manner offolding napkins artis-
sically, for instance, which for any other
species Of the genus homo would require an
apprenticeship Of day or two, the Japanese
learn by seeing it done once. Their powers
OF lnlitation are consequently very great, land
for any klnd of manipulation, aptcr scholars
could not possibly be anywhere found. -
They learn to write the English letters in a
few minutes, and can copy anything they
see. The faculty of constructiveness indeed
seems to be natural development, as also
a certain serene good humor, which is indi-
Gated by their universally fat, plump, smi-
ling round faces. Another national char
acteristic seems to be their inquisitiyeness.
There is hardly anything that escapes them;
about our government, laws, customs, manu-
taetures, country and SO on, they are never
done asking questions At the lnternation-
al they were very curious to understand the
relations between Mr. Haley and his en-
ployees; what sort Of government was estab-
lished there; how Mr. Haley could have
everything attended to so we'll, and how be
could exercise SO complete control, unless
he was sort Of prince or master. And, it
IS almost unnecessary to add, they were sur
prised at much which they learned in regard
to the American people; and strange will be
the accounts which they will carry home OF
tie great nation which has no Princes and
no Emperor.
