SCHOOL GIRLs.-School-girls, with laughing,
innocent eyes, and demurc, mischicvous faces,
OVERLOOKING with life ard spirits and mirth as
they pass on their way to and from school, are
an interesting study. There is a freshness and
sweetness in their budding charms, q guiless-
ness in their expression, incyprcssiby attrativc.
1t is with a sort Of half pity that one coatcm-
plates that they will SO soon be women, with
all woman's cares and sorrows, will become
prematurely old and faded, many Of them
subside into the humdrums Of life in its work
day garb, and be in strange contrast with the
bright, lthc, animated beings they DOW are.
What these girls do with the immense piles OF
books they carry back and forth to school, is a
mystery. IF they have lessons to commit in
all of them, is is difficult to know what time
they have for sleeping, much more for exercise
in the open air. And it is doubtless this want
Of exercise and out, door freedom, that causes
many of them to grow up into unhealthy
womanhood, and live their lives through with
scarcely we'll day, as so many are doing They
had better know less and be well, than to be
pent up night and day at the expense OF their
constitutions, for the sake OF a few accomplish
ments that not one in a hundred ever expects
to make use Of after they marry. But their
parents and teachers know best; and we leave
it all 7sith them.

= THE FARMEg's OCCUPATIONS There are

= The FARMERS OCCUPATION. There are
many advantages arising out OF the compara-
lively independent life of the agrlcultullst, that
are obvious. There is one, however, that is
perhaps unusual to be viewed in the light CT
an advantage, which is nevertheless most de-
cided one, and consists in the fact that the en-
ployment of those who cultivate the SOIL as a
general rule, exempts those who follow it from
the two opposite extremes Of poverty and
riches which are about equally pernicious in
their tendencies, temptations, and influences.
Although men generally shut their eyes upon
the evils of prosperity, and do not willingly
directly, or in practice, acknowledge them yet
there is tacit confession often made of the OK
istence of certain dangers or evils in the pos
session of great riches, as in the commonly re-
ceived opinion that there are more good men
and women, more worth OF character more
persons living useiully and respectfully, more
domestic happiness, more peace and content
ment, and less folly and vice in the ordinary
ranks of society than among either the very
rich or the very poor. In this form, if in no
other, we can obtain some acknowledged OF
the evils, Or at least dangers, of prosperity
that is, of riches isolated from lite OF indus
try. AS agriculturists occupy, this middle
ground, at safe remove from the extremes OF
poverty and riches, restitution or oyer-abur-
dance, and as their business almost OF necessity
involves their occupying it, this may be ac-
counted one of the characteristic advan-
tages Of their profession. And even when they
rise to the possession Of considerable wealth,
as some few of them occasionally do, they re-
main almost entirely free from the evils and
pcrils Of such position, because the activity
Of their life leaves no time for idIeness; the
personal care and oversight Of their lands re-
quiring constant energy fetfort. And If riches
are acquired, they come so slowly as to exempt
them from the worst circumstance connected
with prosperty-that Of suddenly acquired
wealth. These views are commended to the
calm reflection of the youth of this State, who
esteem town life the acme Of good fortune,
and who fret and repine at the trials of farm
ing. How many are yearly sunk IN the hurry
and crush of business in large cities, is past
reckoning; but multitudes who start out with
high hopes of fortune, in few years sink into
the position Of being drudges for those who
are fortunate, or talented, Or unscrupulous, OF
all these combined, and whose servants are
found in the large class who failed of success.
None but man Of the worst habits can fail
continuously in agriculture, while it is certain
that many who possess peculiar business tai
ent, energy and determination, fail in mercan-
tile pursuits

OPENINGS FOR CAPITALISTS Is
full of openings for capitalists, such as offer in
few other States; aud in this city, are many
roads to wealth, lying idle, and unused, for
want of capital to start them, or abandoned
from the same cause. Ia the better days Of
Alexandria the foundry and locomotive shops
here furnished employment to hundreds of me-
chaDics and laborers, and supplied many Of tic
railroads Of the State with tirSt-class engines.
There is no reason why the locomotives used
by the many railroads that traverse this State
should not be all built within her borders no
reason save want Of capital; aud if this could
be furnished, the locomotives that ere built In
Massachusetts,, and purchased by Virginia rail
road companies, might be Of Aexandrla's con :
struc!ion, and be 50 much added to the manu-
featuring wealth Of the State.
Another enterprise, if possible, more im-
portant than tue above, has been lying idle for
years-The Pioneer Steam Flour Mills. Il IS
claimed for this pace that it IS one Of the chief
g7ain.recevng depo:s OF the State; and yet
scarcely bushel of the grain received here Is
converted into -four To run these mills would
furnish employment to many hands: and be a
source Of profit to all concerned. The mills OF
deorgetown arc It's chief source Of wealth; SO
OF Fredericksburg and OF Rchmoad, also, in 4
measure. II some persons Of means, sufficient
to work the Steam Flour Mills of this city to
their full capacity, would take hold Of them, 1t
could not Tail to be remunerative, and health
ully stimulate the business Of this community.
As 1t is, with all the immense supplies Of
grain daily received here, Alexandria is not
even furnishing herself with flour, when she
might have the profit that is made by others
On the grinding of the grain that passes
through the hands Of our own merchants, and
goes to other distant places, and being con
Serted into flour comes back to be repurchased
an increased cost, and to the profit OF par
Ties out of the State Ia other words, Aiexan-
ufia Is paying others to manufacture her own
gram into -four when she might have what
ever profit accrues from it for herself, aud in
addition furnish employment TO a large mum
