The "Dream of a Nappy Heart,' written obvi ously before grave affliction overtook tier, tells the secret of her happiness—a worthy husband, a loving sister, and sweet children ; common sour ces of eooteuteuent, it may be said, yet surely net commonplace to one who con thus demaribe them : Then earth is hall of beauty, • And hearts are fall of bliss; And the radiant worlds above no Look no Writer than thin. Then to a haunted place I seem to live and move, While near and round about sae Gathering beings Whom I love. One comes with stately presence, To Hager at wy side ; Whispering ever low and fondly, Like a lover to bis bride, And one, a gentle maiden, With face serenely fair, Bends oti mo looks 08 wailing As slater angels wear. Two with ere, little fairies Most beautiful and bright. In this enchanted palace Wake echoes of delight; Their childish hearts and voices Are ever turned to glee; And a name most sweet most holy, They both bestow on mu . At a later period we have still the same joyous utterance of the heart, in tones as musical and natural as the carol of a bird Upon thy brow, beloved friend, An& more upon my own, I read the epitaph of years Which have forever down ; And in om- voices whereat old Such mirthful music rang, I hear the softened tones that tell We are no longer young. And yet we aro not old, dear friend— () no, we are not old! Tho' somewhat changed, our spirits Ain Life's choicest gifts enfold: The dearest blossoms the heart Still cling where ones they clang. And bloom as bright and breathe as sweet As when we both were young. What have welost with passing years? A sunny tress or, two ; The lip's glad echo of delight ; The cheek's roseate hue. , What have we gained with passing years? Ah I treasures that repay Our souls for that unreal wealth Which Time hails bonze away. We've gained a love more pure and deep Than youth's glad hours could knew— A love that sweetens every care, And softens every woe. Our children sing us merrier songs Than early hope once sung ; Our lives are happier, holier now Then when we both were young. Miuttlaitanto. . . ANCIENT BATHS & BATHING. ; , The ancients had po teleipmphs,no j tailroadS,,Pk daily and. Weekly pa-1 pers, hitt they did know how to love, how to preserve health and enjoy comfort. There are a good many j things yet, in which the old Greeks I and Romans were decidedly aheadefj us, and could serve as our models.— In New York the question has lately I been agitated, whether it would not be desirable to institute some public bath by which all classes of society I might be enabled to keep their Elkins I in a clean and healthy condition.— I But as early as eighteen hundred years' ago this question had deen de cided in the affirmative, and the city of Rome afforded a good example, how such establishments ought to be got up and conducted. The baths in Rome first were only private. Every man who could of- 1 ford one had it erected in his house. But in those times the baths wor simply for use ; when it became pub lic, it quickly became luxurieus. The public baths were at first instituted for the lower orders; but public bath-1 ing soon became , general; and in pro sesses of time even the emperors bath- I ed in common with the people. We i are told that the. ‘ public baths were on a scale of althost fairy splendor. I Tnat given by Caracella was of pro dicrious extent. The baths of Dio cletians wore even larger, and admit- I ted as many as eighteen thousand persons at a time. The baths of Car acella were thus constructed :—At each end were two temples, one to Apollo the othei.to Esculapips as the tutelary deities of both <aind and body. There were tws atter tem ples dedicated to Hercules and Bac chus. In the principal building was a large circular vestibule with four halls on each side,, • for cold, ,tepid, tvqrn and steam .baths; 111, the c'ePtre was an immense square for -ciej•ciin, when the weather was unfavorable, in the open air; beyond it a great hall, where 1,600 marble seats were placed for the convenience of bath ers; at each end of this hall were li braries. This building terminated on both sides in a court surroliteded with porticoes, with an odeutn for music, and in the middle a large basin for swimming. Round this edifice were walks shaded by, rows of plane trees. In the front . Was a gymnasium for wrestling, running, eel. The Whole was.bbunded by a vast portico, open ing into' spacious•halls where the po ets declaimed and philosophers lec tured. • Within and without this .gi gantic building was adorned- with paintings, statues and stucco orna ments. • . • On entering the bathe the bathers after undreasing, proceed..to the oil ehamber, where he annointed him self with a coarse cheapoil, previous td taking ex.ereliei. The apieristerium or exercise room was either exposed to the heat of the afternoon sun, or else heated by a furnace.

Oil if iii*seff in-. : !.: strument called a strigil usually made of bronze. This operation may be compared to the scraping down of a horse with an iron hoop. But as the human skin is somewhat more deli cate than that of a horse, the strigil was provided with a flow of oil, which I made the sharp bronze edge pass over the skin as harmless as a razor over a man's face. The operation of sera ping, performed by a slave, if the bather conld afford oue, A ludicrous anecdote is reported of the Emperor Haitian having one day seen an old companion in arras scrap ing himself with a tile instead "of a strigil ; he kindly furnished him both with a strigil and , a slave - to . scrape him. The nest-day on the Emper or's appearance, 11e found himself sur rounded with ineinAll busily scraping themselves with tiles. The hint was . not taken. Hti_cOled them all to him, : and told them:Vila Ging ho many,, they could sCra*eadli other. After the scraping the batherrubb- ed himsell over with his hands, and then had pails of water poured over him. 'He was then dried with cotton and linen clothes, and 'a light shaggy mantle was thrown over him. He then returned to the oil chamber, where he was an nointed with perfum ed oils. He then passed into a trep idarium, a chamber less heated than the bath-rooms, which served as a transition to the open air. WASHINGTON'S FIRST LOVE A correspondent of the "Country," in giving some reminiscences of the old country seat called iThe Cottage/ in Hanover county, Virginia, relates the following account of Gen. Wash ington's proposal for the hand . of Mary Cary, and hiS rejection by her Fath er : "Her father wne Wilson Cary,Esq., of 'Celeys' in the country of Eliza beth city, descended from the noble family of Hunsdon, in England. His relative, Colonel Archibald Cary, of Ampthith, in Chesterfield, was, at his death, the heir apparant to the Earl dom. The worthy old gentleman seems, from all we know of him, to have been as proud as the Coucys or the Somersetts, and to have thought his family the noblest in the land.— He lived in great state, with chariot and horses, plate: atid :velvitit and em broidery—a :Worthy of the .old school, fully satisfied with the "order of things," And enjoying serenely the good (rifts of Providence. His beau tifulr=, da.fighter was a great heiress, and had Many suitors. The one alluded to was a young man of very high character, aa.elativo of George Wil liam. Fairfax,Esq., Who lived in 80 , voir, on the Potomac; and here he met with Miss Cary, who came to vis it Mrs. Fairfax, her eldest sister. He at once proceeded to fall in love, which he did with an ardor charac teristic of his nature. "When Miss Cary went back home to 'CcJoys,' on James' river, r he fol lowed her like a courageous gallant, and laid open siege. to the fairfortress. In the good old times, however, some thing more was necessary than the consent of the young lady, and so the youth duly asked a private inter vieiv with the old lord of the manor, who listened to him silently through out. When the lover had. finished, Mr. Cary arose, Made him a low bow, and said that if this was young Mr. Washington's errand at ‘Celeysi,' his visit had betterterniinate—his 'daugh ter had been accustomed to ride in her chariot.' Andlvith this allusion to the poo.!' , :6ll'dition of the younger son the interview terminated. Young Washington. bowed and turned away, and in due time married the widow, . - Martha Dandridge Custis, 'who re sernblod Miss Cary, says an authority, 'as much Ws one sister ever did an other.' "The old tradition does not end here. Many years fled away—Mary Cary was Mrs. Ambler, and her dis carded suitor. was the man who had just received the sword of Cornwallis at YOrktown,, whom the civilized world hailed as the greatest among the great—‘the foremost man,'. not only in America,'butof all the world.

He was quartered in a neat farm-house, near 'the upper forts.-- - - After our business was finished, the COunt asked me to take some refresh ments, and at the same time called out— .4Mary ! my lass, Mary 1u an inttant a rosy-eleeked girl entered, lifir,face beaming with joy, it Would tie'em,‘ at , the very sound OfTrilf aski's voice. "Did you call me, Count ?" said the maiden timidly.. "How often have I- told you, my little love," ho said, bending his tall form to kiss her cheek, "not to call me Count; call me, dear, Pulaski, This is a Republic, ny little favorite; we have no Counts, you know." "But you are a Count, sir, when at horne, and they say you came a long way over the ocean to fight for mi." "Yes Mary, very true—l did come a long way—the reason-was, I had to come. Now, can you get for this gentleman and myself a little refresh ment ? Ho has a long way to ride to-night:" "Certainly, Sir," and she went out of the room like a fairy. • "Fine, pleasant girl," said Pulaski; "would that I had the wealth I once had I I would givs her a portion that would send half the youth hereabout after her sweet face." On the morning of the eleventh of September, 1777, the British army advanced in full force to Ohadd's Ford, for the purpose of crossing: Brandy wine Creek, and bringing on' an ac tion with Washington.

A little boy had not been before noticed, who was lying amid the grass, his leg dreadfully mangled, said— " There they go ! He pointed to pi company of Hessi ans, then some distance off.

The end which should be eoughtin offering agricultural pl•einiums ley un doubtedly, to stimulate effort for im provement in the results of husbandry. It can not be questioned that, much good has resultedfrom the encourage -I.llollt thus afforded by State and Coun ty, associations; for aside front the mere pecuniary value of prizes, the spirit of active emulation is therehy awakened. In looking over the pre mium lists of various societies this' year, it will be observed that a large share of the more valuable prizes are offered for the mere results of milture, yvhilc the means by which those re mine iziay he attained are compara tively neglected. Thus : liberal pre 'Minn: is have been offered for the .best specimens .of grain and vegetables, without regard to the manner of their cultivation. The sight of a ream moth pumpkin or beet, a basket of superb potatoes, or a display of lus cious grapes, is very gratifying,, but of little practical use, useless we may know how they were produced. It sometimes happens that the exhibi tor can give no particular reason for his subeess-, he found a large chance specimen in hie garden, or field, and "brought it to the show."

The reason why children die, says Hall's Journal of Health is because they are rot taken care of. , From the day of birth theyare stuffed with food, choked with physic!, sloshed with water, suffocated in hot room; steam ed in bed-clothes. So• much for in doors. When permitted to breathe a breath of pure air once a week in summer, and once or twice -during the coldest inouths, only the nose is permitted to peer into daylight. A little lats,r they are sent out with no clothes at all, as to the parts ; of the body which most need protection.— Bare legs, bare -arms, bare necks, gir ted middlembst, with an inverted um brella to collect the air and chill the other parts of the body. A at,ifitt, strong man goes.out on a, cold day with gloves and °vete:Oat, woollen stoek.ings and thick doubie-soled boots with cork between and'rubbers over. .The same day,a child of three years old, an infant in flesh and blood;- and bone and constitution, goes out with soles' as thin as paper,: cotton socks, legs •uncovered to the - knees;, neck bare; an exposure which would dis able the nurse, kill the mother. in a fortnight, and make the father an in-. valid for weeks., And why.? To-har den them to a mode of dress which they are never expected to practice. To accustom them to-exposure, which a .dozeni year's, fater,wduld:be, consid ered . doworight ,foolery.

And to- draw comfort from the presumption that he has any agency in the death of a child, in the manner of the luoted article, is a presumption and a profa nation.- - - • - • CARVING AT -DINNER This % extract from the recently pub lished volume entitled "Dinner Break fast and tear furnishes ;some inter esting facts touching the most' labo rious accomplishment, carting, and how burdensome it was made in olden times : Carving was ancientlytang,ht as an art, and - it . was performed to the sound of music.
