Less than fifty years ago, in a young la dies’ school not far from the city of Boston, a prise was offered by the trustees for the best original composition which should be read by the graduating, class.at the approach ing; annual examination; The class consist ed of only twelve young ladies. Not more than five of these dared entertain any hope of the offered reward; and of this 1 small number, there were two, whose rare gifts in writing, seemed to render the hopes of the remainder quite presumptuous. Between Alice Carlton and Jane Bradford, it was- generally conceded lay the 'prize,— an elegant edition, in green and gold, of one of our best standard poets. Alice and Jane were the twf best scholars in the class ; of nearly equal mental powers; afld, of Course often rivals for school honors. The contest between them would have been closer, 1 and the rivalry more constant, had Alice posses sed the external advantages with Which Jane was favored. But their outward circum stances differed widely. Jane was blessed with excellent health,with a competence, and a large circle of appreciating friends. Alice was the only child of a widowed mother, poor, and among strangers: and oh {' severer trial still, was in feeble health apd hopeless ly deformed. Yet the lamp of genius burn ed brightly ; and often beguiled her', fond mother into momentary forgetfulness of the thin, sallow face, the stooping form, and painfully rounded shoulders of her darling. Something more and better than external fortune gave Jane popularity among her com panions : she had a, very sweet snd obliging disposition. Alice was perhaps as good tempered by nature as Jane. But her own and her mother’s struggles with misfortune, and her hitter personal trials had made her reserved and unsocial: and, being misunder stood by her schoolmate, she was often call ed cross and disobliging. Yet all acknow ledged her superior talents: and when the composition prize was offered, and Alice Was known to be writing for it, many of Jane’s friends feared for their favorite. Jane herself had only one strong motive for desiring success; and that was to gratify her father. He was very proud of his daugh ter; and having always given her the best advantages, was naturally desirous that she should excel all others. Yet Jane was not so fond of study for its own sake as Alice was. The latter had always delighted in it; and looked forward to it as her chief resource un der the deprivations which she felt her in firmity would always impose. But when her father’s sudden bankruptcy and death {about two years previous to our history) had left herself and mother nearly destitute, Alice eagerly pursued her studies, as affording the only probable means of future support. And to excel in composition was her special de sire—her darling hope ; since authorship, if it brought her less certain and ample remu neration than teaching, would favor that se clusion which she felt to be essential to her tranquility. Alice’s mother was more anxious, if possi ble, than Alice herself, that she should gain the prize at the approaching examination. And this arose from no excess of ambition or maternal pride. She knew the secret of her daughter’s mental efforts, although Alice seldom spoke of it; and she saw that she of ten suffered from despondency and a morbid self-distrust. Consequently, she craved for her child the encouragement and self-confi dence which a successful prize essay would he sure to gife, ' The important day arrived, and Derrick Hall \va3 crowded to its utmost capacity by the friends and patrons of the Derrick Insti tute, to witness its annual exhibition. After the proficiency of the pupils had been suf-/ ficientlv tested in other, branches of study, the compositions were'called for. Each of ; the five writers fdr the prize was to read her . owp article in turn, as arranged by the? prin- ; cipal; Jane and Alice coming; last in order. iThe young ladies who preceded Jane had very respectable pieces; but they did not read them well, and of course made a feeble impression. ‘ Jane,, however, was an uncom monly good reader; her clear voice, correct distinct,, enunciation, greatly en ihancing the merits of her essay, and elicit- Sing marked applause. i It was now Alice’s turn; but when her name was called; 'she did not rise. The poor jgirl had been greatly disturbed from the out let by the thought of facing the unwelcome jgaze of the crowd; but her own convictions, las well as her ‘mother's assurances thttt she (had subceeddd well in writing her piece, had 'helped to conquer her reluctance to read it. Just as Jane had concluded, however,., and resumed 'her seat, and Alice was about to rise, a cruel whisper from one in the' seat behind the latter, reached her ear. It was addressed to Jane, and theiwhisperer said : ‘‘ You’re .sure'of the''prize, Miss Bradford;' What can that miserable hump-back do? I should think she’d be ashamed to be seen.” Jane turned her head to frown upon the rude and thoughtless speaker; and was shock ed to see that the cruel words had been heard by Alice Carlton, and had , cut her to the heart. A deep flush, succeeded by a deadly paleness, swept across the sallow face of poor ' Alice, and when ,her name was called, she did not attempt to rise. Theteacher has tened to her, and in a tow voice tried to per suade her to read her manuscript. But she burst into tears, and crushing the paper in her hand, said; “ I cannot^—l cannot—it is no •matter—l shall never try again!” , Jane’s gentle heart was deeply pained.' She whispered to her mates earnestly, “ Some of ns ought to read her piece for her. I’m sure she has written a good one,” “It would be no kindness to her, poor ; thing,” “ Not one of us could read it decent ly before alb these people, unless it is your self; and tliat might lessen your own. chance for the prize: for Alice Carlton is a good writer.” “No such motive ought to hinder me, or shall,” replied Jane ; and with a new light in her eye, and a generous glow upon her cheek, she moved quickly to the side of the weeping girl. “ Alice,” she softly said, ; “ it will disap point ns all not to Hear your composition. It is dping injustice both to yourself and the class to withold it. Will yon allow me to read ikfor yOu ? I will do my best by it.” The genuine kindness and tender sympathy of Jane made their way to the heart of the sensitive girl; and with no words, but only a fervent pressure of the hand which Jane had taken, Alice gave the paper into her keep ing, and covered her face while the piece was read* It was. an admirable theme-r-“ The Uses of Study.” As Jane read, her interest in the subject, quickened by her tender compassion for the writer, became deep and fervent. Both heart and soul were thrown into the exercise; her own perception and feeling kindled that of others; the most eager atten tion followed 1 every- word; the noble senti ments, as well as the beauty and force with which they were expressed, touched the hearts and minds of the listeners; and iis conclu sion drew the -warmest applause of the ad miring .audience. The prize committee whispered a few mo ments together ; and then the chairman an nounced'their decision. “In adjudging,” be said, “'as, we must, for its rare literary,excel lence, the offered prize in composition, to that written by Miss. Alice Carlton, we desire to say that in our opinion, an equal .testimonial is richly due to another; and that if two prizes, instead of one, were ours to bestow, we should most heartily give the second to the young lady whose cwn well-written theme was only surpassed by that which she had tjie grace and kindness to read for another. We are sure that we, do both parties a plea sure and an honor, when we request that Jane Bradford present, on our behalf; the offered prize to Alice Carlton.” < The bright and beaming face of Jane, as she received and bore the coveted testimonial to Alice, and the grateful sensibility of the latter as she modestly received it, showed to every beholder that neither the pride of suc cess or the sting of defeat had debased the noble nature for the rivals of the Composi tion Prize. —Student and Schoolmate. THE PLANTATION INFIRMARY. A new “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin ” has just appeared in England and this country with the advantage that its graphic and thrilling descriptions and harrowing pictures of sla very are simple recitals of . facte from the pen of an eye-witness. It is a journal" kept by Prances Anne Kemble while on the planta tion of her husband, a well known Philadel phian, in Georgia; and addressed to | friend in - Massachusetts twenty-five years ago. Thdugh not written for these times,, its ap pearance in England, where the for human liberty is so shamafully'wavering, is most opportune. Its unvarnished yet powerful representations and its irresistible pathos, must exert a great influence upon the popular mind. ; We give a single extract. It must be borne in mind that the plantat-'on on which these scenes occurred had a most favorable reputation for the humanity of its arrangements. :A “ The Infirmary is a large two-story building, terminating the broad orange planted space between the two rows of houses which form the first settlement; it. is built of whitewashed wood, and contains four large-sized rooms. But how shall I de scribe to you the spectacle which was pre sented to me on entering the first of these. But half the casements, of which there were six, were glazed, and 'these were obscured with dirt, almost as much as the other win-, dawless ones were darkened by the dingy shUtterb, which the shivering inmates had fastened to in order to protect; themselves from the cold. In the enormous chimney glimmered the powerless embers of a few sticks of wood, round which, however, as many of the sick women as could .approach were cowering, -some on wooden settles, most of them on the ground, excluding'those who were too; ill to rise,;' and these laqt poor wretches lay prostrate, on ’the floor’, without |Ywni(iw €>*«*s«* bed, mattress, or pillow, buried in tattered and filthy blankets/ which, huddled round them as they lay strewed about, lelt hardly space to mo#e upon the floor. And here, in their hour of sickness and suffering, lay those whose health and strength are spent' in un requited labor for us—those who, perhaps even yesterday, were being urged on to their unpaid task—those whoge husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons were even at that hour sweating over the earth, whose produce was to buy for us all the luxuries which health can revel in, ail the comforts which can alle viate sickness. I stood in the midst of them, perfectly unable to speak, the tears pouring from my eyes at-this sad spectacle of their misery, myself and my emotion alike strange and incomprehensible rto them.; Here lay women.expecting every hour,the terrors and agonies of childbirth,! others who had just brought their doomed offspring to the world,, others who were groaning over the anguish; and bitter disappointment ofyiuiscarriages— : here lay some' burning with .fever, othirs. chilled with cold and aching with rheuma tism, upon the hard cold ground, the draughts and'dampness of the atmosphere increasing their sufferings, and dirt, noised and/stench, and every aggravation of which sickness is capable, l coHttbined in their condition—here they lay like brlite beasts,, absorbed ih phy sical suffering; an visited by any of those Divine influences which may ennoble the dispensations of .pain and illness, forsaken, as it seemed to be, of all good; and yet, 0 God, Thou surelyhadst not forsaken them ! Now pray take notice that'this is the hospjh. tal of an estate where the owners are sup posed to be. humane, the overseer efficient and r kind, and the riegroe3 remarkably well cared for and comfortable. As soon as I re covered from my dismay, I addressed old 'Rose, the midwife, who had charge of this room, bidding her open the shutters of such, windows as were glazed, and let in the light'. I next proceeded to make up the fire; but/ upon my lifting a log for that purpose 1 , there was one universal outcry, of horror,, and old? Rose/attempting to snatch it from me, ex claimed, “ Let alone, missis—let be ; what’ for you lift wood ? you have nigger enough, missis, to do it!” I hereupon had to ex plain to them my view- of the purposes for which hands and arms were appended to our bodies, and forthwith began making Rose tidy up the miserable apartment, removing all the filth and rubbish from the floor that could be removed, folding up in piles the blahkcts of the patients who were not using; them, and placing^in rather more sheltered, and comfortable positions, those who were unable to rise. It was all that I could do/ and having enforced upon them all my; ear nest desire that .they should keep their room, swept, and as tidy as possible, I passed on to the other room on the ground floor, and to the two above, one of which is appropriated to the use of the men who are ill. They were all in the same deplorable, condition, the upper rooms being rather the more mise ble, inasmuch as none of the windows, were glazed at all, and they had, therefore, only the alternative'of utter darkness, or killing draughts of air from the unsheltered case-: ments. In all, filth, disorder, and misery abounded;, the floor was the only bed, and scanty, begrimed rags of blankets the only, covering. I left this refuge for Mr. ’s sick dependents with my clothes covered with dust, and full of vermin, and with a heart heavy enough, as you will well believe. Myi morning’s work had fatigued me not a little;- and I was glad to return to the house, where I gave vent to my indignation and regret at the scene I had just witnessed to Mr. and his overseer, who, here, is a member of our family. The latter told me that the condition of. the hospital had appeared to him, from; his first entering upon his situa tion (only within the last year,) to require a reform, arid 1 that he had' proposed it ‘to the former manager, Dr. K——, arid Mi*. s brother, who is part proprietor, of the estate, but, receiving no encouragement’from them, had supposed that it was a matter of indiffer ence to the owners, and had left it in the condition in which he had found it. in which condition it has been for the last nineteen years arid upward;” A NEW COLONIZATION SOCIETY PRO POSED.

Scrofula .depresses the vital energies,-and thus leaves its victims ite . moie subjeet to disease audits fatal results than are healthy constitutions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does greatly shorten, the average duration of . human life.*.The vast importance of these con siderations lias led us to spend years in perfecting a remedy which is adequate to its cure. This we now offer to the public under the name of'AxEß’s Sarsaparilla, although it is composed of, ingre dients, some of which exceed the best of Sarsa parilla in alterative power. By its aid you may . protect yourself from the suffering. and: danger, of . these disorders.

Ism indebted.-to thy firiahd Robert' Shoemaker, Esq., fbr the removal of this prejudice by proper bats, and for encGuragement to try them, wheit suffering 1 from , great and iongricontinued debility. The use of three bottles of, thase&ttera, at; the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident reliefj and restoration to a degree ofbodilyand mental vigor which I had not; felt fpr six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining.
