TIE HEALTHY GfRhs OF VAssA1s. s.-In meeting of the American Association for the Promotion of Social Science" held, last May, drew attention to the superior health of the girls at Vassaf. UT pointed out the fact that the health of the girls continued to improve upIto the hour of graduation; and while had in my audi ence three members of the faculty, Miss Maria Mitchell, the resident physician, Dr. Avery, and President Raymond him. self, it was observable that they heard me with indifference rather than pride, so perfectly familiar were they with the facts. The parents of all the pupils are also familiar with with it; and if Dr. Ave- " were at any moment to resign her re- spensible post she would receive warm welcomein any community that had sent pupils to Vassar. The world may be challenged to produce, in any one neigh borhood, four hundred young women of so great physical pronises In the follow ing June I met Miss Mary Carpenter at Vassar by appointment. She saw with amazemeht how close the actual at tainment of the pupils came to the curric- ulum proposed;I but sheme6neluded her investigation, by ejaculatings with the pe- cular emphasis that all who know her will recall: 's.And we must admit that they have superior health-it fs most extraor- dinaryY This was the testimony of one accustomed to the ''rosebads" in Eng lands garden of girls.'+sfnroIine H.

la A NOBLE Boy. -Intelligenc from St. Thomas brings the full particulars of the burning of the bark. Clara Lamb, which was occasioned by the explosion. of thirty barrels of naphtha. There is pretty lit- tle piece of the pure gold Ofo heroism wrapped up in the account which deserves especial mention, When the disaster oc- cured the captain was hurled overheard. His wife jumped into the water with one of the children, but the otheF, ,a little boy. was blowninto thelair and lodged in the main brace, where he was seen at inter vals amid the roaring sheets of of flame, which were devoufing the vessel The cabin boy who was in the water, saw the danger of the child, and heroically re-
 turned to lis rescue, which he saccom-
 plishad. but at extreme peril to himself,
 being badly burned in the attempt. This
