" Our Life is as a shadow." The - dream was sweet, but could not last; The vision bright, but soon was past; The morning sun was glorious too, But soon it changed its golden hue, And, robed in clouds of threatening lorm, Betokened fast approaching storm. Thus falsely youth's bright beam has shone And lured the thoughtless votary on, Till, like a transient meteor light, It disappeared in sorrow's night. And hope's fair visions too are flown, That once in heavenly brightness shone, And smiles that rest upon the cheek Of health and happiness could speak— All, all are fleeting, false and frail ; The sunken eye, the cheek so pale, The quickened pulse, the shortened breath . Proc aim the swift approach of death. But let the earthly glories die, Nor wish t. em back in all their power, To smile upon the parting hour, While pleasures new, and joys untold, The opening gates of /leaven unfold. J. W. C THE TURNING POINT Henry Irving was a native of Eastern Virginia . His only inheritance—a warm heart, med ium in tellect, a sociable nature, fine personal appearance, and a liberal share of that peculiar feeling general. ly conceded an experienced by none but descen dants from the " first families' of the old. Dominion. At the age of twenty-tour be left hia native State and in the fall of 1829. engaged as a salesman in the largest dry goods house in F—, a flourish ing town on the Ohio river. Having acquired a liberal education, a cultivated taste,and gentleman ly deportment, he soon became a favorite in the social circle. ° Although possessed of some of the private and social virtues of human nature, Irving was not free from its vices; he loved the wine cup and card ta ble vices not thatas reprehensible now. Cust m the treat sanctioner of human error, at that day rec ognized these as the bonds of fraternal brotherhood and public sentiment had not yet elevated the stan dard of social morality above them ; consequently. Irving's fondness for these vicious pleasures, instead of operating against his popularity served as an introduction to the highest circles. His companions were of that wild, reckless. whole souled, pleasure seeking class of young met , who throw care to the dogs, and with mirth, wit and jollity, drift smoothly, yet rapidly down tha' ; stream whose source is crowned with choicest flow ere and perfumes of sensual pleasures, and, with a dark and wailing surge, plun.2es into eternity. His most intimate and confidential friend, was John Hawkins, a young lawyer of promising talent and pleasant address, but destitute of correct moral prin. ciple ; was an avowed infidel, and entertained what he considered a manly contempt for virtue and piety was fond of whist, euchre and good brandy, and was withal what the world denominated a clever fellow." It was about a year, I think, after Irving came to P—, that Emma Carson returned from Phil. a s'elphia, where she bad been sent to complete her education—one too, that had well developed her natural strength of mind she now stood ready to make her debut with credit to herself, her teachers. and frjerds. With a fine form, expressive features, a ctithrated mind, and most bewitching hazle eye, it was not strange that Emma soon became the envy and admiration of society, nor that Irvin g , be. fore many months, paid frequent visits to Mr. Car son's. An intimacy was formed, which, on Irving's part soon ripened-into a strong attachment. Emma tv,.s made conscious of the fact by his .marked atten tions, and hints thrown out by some of her friends; it was to her, under the circumstances, a source 01 deep regret. She treated him with etiquette and kindness, received his visits in a courteous, friendly manner, but nothing more, and however much she might admire his conversational powers and agree able manners, a recent knowledge of his general character would prevent her from desiring to en courage his new-born feelings. What course should she pursne ? It was not long until she and Irving met at a party. Irving escorted her to the table 'equested the pleasure of drinking a glass of wine w.ltb her. She politely, yet firrrry declined. Irving insisted on the ground of custom ane friendship. I "Neither custom or friendship, Mr. Irving, has' the right to demand a sacrifice of principle," said Emma, "and I should deem myself unworthy the, name of woman or friend, should I grant such a re quest and lure you on in the utter ruin of body and 'soul!" "Why, Miss Carson, 1 am really surprised to hear you speak with so much earnestness in this matter, and more especially at what I must con aider an unnecessary reflection." " Mr. Irving any young man who indulges in ar dent spirits even to a moderate degree, and that re- .stricted to the fashionable circle, is in my opinion io danger of ruin; and I vssure you I- will never kupwingly, directly or indirectly countenance the I evil; real furthermore, no one, especially a young man, whose habits are not confirmed, can retain any esteem and his wine." " But instances can be adduced in which your rigid discipline has defeated its own end by driving to desperation." " Granted, that there are such isolated cases-- what do they prove, the evils of an illiberal moral- I ity, or the reckless depravity of the human heart ? It is on such occasions as the present, that vice too often receives the approving smile of wealth, fash ion and influence, and virtue her deepest wounds." Miss Carson, 1 fear you place more stress on the influence of your sex than the subject will justly warrant." t• Not at all, sir. Tell me, if any of the present company of young men shall be laid in a drunkard's grave, to whose influence may it in reason he at _ tributed3 Will you tell me the influence of her who fills his glass to-night will not add weight and speed to his descent?" Irving and Emma were standing apart from the company. Their conversation being in a low tone -- or - voice was not overheard among the general con fusion of tongues and dishes. A. couple of ladies passed over to them and chi ' ded them for being unsociable. Irving hod set the un-tasted on the window -seat, which one of the ladies' observing, inquired why their glasses wan not empty. Irving laughingly remarked that he had just discovered Miss. Carson had conscien tious scruples, when one ea , d, ,, wait till I get anoth er glass, and Kate and I will drink with you." The glass wei, brought, and the three drank with great glee, twitting Emma Oo her " puritan iern." The conversation changed, and nothing fur ijor was said on the subject that nitht. Enough had bees said to awaken Irving from 'nis dream of h a p i a:ness and reveal to him a barrier to the con summeion of hie hopes. Could he yield Emma without a struggl e with • hbs enemy—ruttilessly demolish that bright. struc ture of the future on which be loved to gaze-wan. tonly crush the. blossom of hope strewn along h - j, i t akway, and which, if kindly nourished would re ta:ji a harvest of sweet joys?. he bitter feeling turned with proud contempt from h‘ch a picture, and met—the cold sneer, .the taunts ass ridicule of his evil genius—Hawkins.— How true 1. i t t h a t • rc Thet, ie a time—we know not when A point- w. know not where, •rho d„: Henry Irvillrfa poiat Iris cr.c , sl,l integr., deadened the • end when she sour !-.ad • - .vas IC. e.h. - -.o:b Mraniinb ..:Lefirti NMS=II of scut that would have enabled him to rise above those influences that hung like an incubus about him. If he had then possessed what ekery young man so much needs in the hour of trial and temptation —the coun - setand sympathy of virtuous friendship, bow different would have been his fate, but he did not. He sought counsel and syMpathy from Haw kins. " ." Why, Irving," said Hawkins, one evening as they sat in their room talking the matter over," It isn't possible you'd make such a d---d fool of yourself as to give up to the whining of a school girl ? A pretty how-dy'e-do, indeed, when a man must renounce his manhood, acknowledge his ina bility to govern himself, and all for a woman's ca price! These saintly philanthropists must have an exalted opinion of our self-respect and virtue, as they term it, they generously offer to prop us up with written contracts and pledges! Are we to have our social intercourse circumscribed, cut and cor nered to meet the views of every still-necked reli gionist 'l' " What a most exemplary pattern of human meekness you would make, Irving, to place your leading strings into the hands of Emma Carson. sur render all claims of independence and say—" Em ma dear, I cheerfully submit to your superior wis dom and experience; whatever you say ieright.— What in the devil is there about that girl to make such a fuss about? There's plenty as good look hig, as smart and hot troubled with such saintly notions.', And thus, with ridicule and sneers was the last hope of reformation destroyed. That night Irving and Hawkins attended an oyster supper at the - Globe Coffee House," where they met some hall dozen boon companions. Wine and wit flowed freely. Irving drank deep to drown the voice or conscience and the conflicting emotions that stirred his soul, and that night for the first time of his life Henry Irving was put to bed drunk! From that hour his career was downward. His visits at Mr. Carson's were soon discontinued. At the last interview Emma urged him by all he held I dear and sacred—by his hopes for time and eterni ty—by every argon' ent and inducement that a warm and earnest heart couldcommand-to change his course of life, and for a moment'it roused the remains of manhood within him, but there was a chain of influeures = a power of indulgence that even the eloquence of hie heart's love could sever lln left her with a promise of reformation, and shortly after left P— for.the South. • About six years after the foregoing incidents two merchants from P— were returning from New Orleans where they had been purchasing gro ceries. The day before the boat arrived at Louis ville, as they were seated on the guards, engaged in conversation, an unusual commotion was observed among the hands on the main deck. The two gentlemen alluded to, with several oth er, went below to ascertain the cause of the distur bance. They were told that one of the firemen had a fit (it delirium tremens, and that the hands were trying to confine him. They stepped back into toe engine room, and there lay Henry Irving tied to a bale of cotton, writhing and foaming in all the ag onies of that dreadful malady. When the boat reached Louisville he was placed on a dray and conveyed to the hospital, where the next day he ended his life, calling down the most bitter curses on him whose ridicule and sneers had silenced the pleadings of virtue and love, and drove him to ruin. The Strawberry Boy. The following simple and unvarnished story is strictly true. It is given as a horticultural item. to illustrate the progress in early life. of a young horticulturist, in that branch of industry. Fourteen years ago last May, on a Saturday a' noon, a boy called at my dwelling house, to sell strawberries. He was of slender form, apparently about fourteen years of age. with a bright- and in telligent countenance. The fruit was beautiful and tempting. but I had bought enough at market in rife morning for dinner and for tea, and refused to purchase more. He observed that his strawberries had just been picked from the vines, and would keep for the Sunday. My wife was much pleased .with his gentle and pleasant manners, and decided at.once to purchase, and engage a daily supply for the season. Upon inquiry we learned that, with his father_and younger brother, he cultivated vege tables and fruit to sell in the Cincinnati market. on a small place near Newport, Kentucky; that he had a taste for horticulture and for books, and that no effort was spared to improve his knowledge in both. In summer he cultivated the soil, and in winter the mind. For three years we were regularly supplied by this boy, from the earliest to the latest period of the season, with strawberries freshly gathered, of fife quality, and at moderate prices; then with rasp. berries in succession The fourth year we missed him on his accus tomed round, and feared that we should see him no more. My wife felt disappointed, and cried a good deal about it. . . He was so intelligent and obliging, so gentle and engagine - b in his manners that she had taken a great fancy to him. Besides all this, where could we sup ply our table with such fine strawberries, brought daily to the house? Various inquiries were made, but nothing could be beard of him. She only knew his christian name; the other, if she had ever heard it, had escaped her memory. She recollected to have observed an occasional hectic flush on his cheek, and feared that - the lell destroyer, consump tion, had marked him for his own. Poor boy, said she, we shall never see him again; he has run his race, and will soon be forgotten. . Years have passed away, and we had ceased to speak of him, when one day a young man of gen teel ap earance called 'at my store, and, presenting his hand, asked if I remembered him. In the hurry and bustle of business life, one forms so many ac quaintances that it is not easy to recollect every name or face at first sight. I. therefore, answered that I did rot. He replied, that when a boy he used to supply us with strawberries, and then he I inquired kindly for my wife nd children. He stated that, by diligen in his horticultural pursuits, he had saved some oney, and was then interested in a small store in he neighboring town. I was delighted to see him, a d to hear of his pros perity, and gave him a cord al invitation to my house, but he pleaded want of time and departed. On reaching home in the evening, my wile was much pleased to hear that her young friend the Strawberry Boy was living and well, but rather I slighted by his not calling to see her. Two years ago, when I saw him again, he was comparatively rich, worth some fifty thousand dol lars—and married the daughter of a late distin guished lawyer—had purchased and was then resi ding in his fine mansion, in one of the cities imme diately opposite our town. Occupied in business of public trust and responsibilities, he lives respected and esteemed by all his neighbors. He is well known to many of our citizens of Cincinnati.— With all this prosperity, he has had.good sense to remember that he was once the " Little Strawberry Boy," and no doubt, he feels prouder of being the architect of his own fortune, from that foundation, than if he had inherited ten times as much from his ancestors.—Horticulturist. MEN On THE Rrvoronfox.—Gen. Greene, in his dispatches, after the battle of Eutaw, says: " Hun dreds of my men were naked as they were born." Judge Johnson, in his life of Green, says: "Poster. ity will scarcely believe that the bare loins of many men who carried death into the enemies camp, at the Eutaw, were galled by their cartouch boxes while a 'fold of a rag or a tuft of moss protected the shoulder from the same injury from the mus ket." Gen. Green, says in his letter to - the Secreta ry of War We have three hundred men with , ouertrms, and more than one thousand so naked that they can be put on duty only in cases of a desperate nature.

COMMANDS TRH, GREATEST BZWARD."--Buchanan. CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 21, 1853. Female Intrepidity. It was in the year 1832, towards the close of No vember, a light snow, mingled with sleet, was whirled about by the wind, and pierced through every crevice of a little road-side inn, situated be tween. Hornberg and Bottwell, on the frontier of the duchy of Baden. Two travellers, driven by the bad weather to the shelter of this humble hostlery, were forgetting their hunger and weariness in the comforts of the hearty repast of smoked beef. The hissing and roaring of a large stove contrasted agreeably in the travellers' ears with the loud moaning of the north wind without, and disposed them still more to the enjoyment of the good things within. The inn keeper and his wife, had, for their only domestic, a young girl of Baden whom they had brought up from childhood. Krettel, for such was her name, was a host in herself, house-keeper and - maid to her mistress, cook in the kitchen, valetde chambre to the stray visitants in the best room, and groom in the stable—the hardy, active and good-humored German girl fulfilled all the duties usually shared by a large establishment ut servants. Ten o'clock struck, and the travellers having lin. ished their supper, drew nearer to "the group that had collected round the stove, Father Hoinirk, the minister, their host, and sortie neighbors who enterecrby chance. The conversation turned on the fearful and murderous events of which the neigh- boring forest had been the scene, and each one had his own story to tell, surpassing the rest in horror. Father Hoff'kirck was among ihe.foremostin ter rifying his-audience by the different adventures. all more or less tragical. The worthy father had jest finished a horrible story of robber—quite the /'d euvr ein his way. The scene of the legend was a little more thin a gun shot from the inn door; it was a tradition, unfortuntely ; but an ancient gib bet which still remained on the identical spot, gave to the narration an air of gloomy veracity which no one dared to question. This place was, in truth, made formidable throughout the province as being, it was said, the readezvous of a troop of bandits, who held there, every night, their mysterious meet• ing. All the guests were still under the influence of the terror which Memory of Falh-r Hoff !Dreg had caused, when one of the travellers before mention ed, offered to bet two ducats that no one dared to 'et oil at that moment to the fatal spot, and trace wi'h charcoal, a cross on the gibbet. The very idea of such a proposition increased the fears of the company. A long silence was their only reply. Suddenly the young Krettel. who was quietly spinning in the corner, rose tip and accepted the bet, asking her master's consent at the same time. He and his good wife at first refused, alleging the loneliness of the 'place, in case of danger; but this fearless dam sel persisted, and was at last suffered to depart• , Krettel only requested that the inn door should be left open until her return, and taking a piece of charcoal, to prove on the morrow that she had re ally visited the spot, she rapidly walked toward the gibbet. When close beside it, she still. fancying , she heard a noise; however, after a moment of hes itation, she stepped forward ready to take flight at the least danger. The noise was renewed, K.ee:•.el listened intently, and the sound of a horse's feet struck upon her ear. Her terror prevented her at first from seeing how near it was to her—that ob• ject of fear was fastened to the gibbet itself. the took courage, darted forward and traced the cross. At the same instant the report of a pistol showed her she had been noticed. By a movement as swift as thought, she unloosed the horse, leaped on the saddle and fled like lightning. She was pursued ; but redoubling her speed, she reached the inn yard, celled out to them to close the gate, and fainted away. When the brave girl recovered, she told her story and was warmly congratulated on her cour age and presence of mind. All admired the horse. which was of striking beauty. A small leathern valise was attached to the saddle; but Father HotT kirch would not stiller it to be opened except in the presence of the Burgomaster. On the morrow, which was Sunday, the innkeep er, his wife, and their guests, all set out for the neighboring town, Where they intended, after the service, to acquaint the Burgomaster with the last evening's adyentures. Krettel, left sole guardian of the house, was advised not to admit any one until her master's return. Many a young girl would have trembled at being in laer,situation ; but this young servant girl having seen the party disap pear, fearlessly set about her household duties, sing ing with a light heart and a clear voice some pious hymn which her kind mistress had taught her. An hour had scarcely passed when there came a knock on the outer door. It was a traveller on horseback, who asked leave to rest for a little while Krettel at first refused ; but on the promise of the cavalier that he would only breakfast and depart, she agreeeto admit, him. Besides, the man was well dressed and alone, so there was little fear from him. The stranger wished himself to take his horse to the stable, and remained a long time examining and admiring the noble steed which had arrived the previous evening in a manner so unexpected.— While breakfasting, he asked many questions about the inn and its owners, inquired whose was the horse that attracted his attention so much; and, in short, acted so successfully, that the poor girl, in nocent of all deceit, told him her late adventure, and ended by confessing she was all alone. She in stantly felt a vague sense of having committed some imprudence, for the sfilinger listened to her with singular attention, and seemed to take a greater interest than simple curiosity in what she was saying. The breakfast was prolonged to its dtmost. At last, after a few unimportant questions, the traveller desired the servant girl to bring him a bottle of wine. Krettel rose to obey; but on reach ing the cellar, found that the stranger followed her, and turning around she saw the glitter of a pistol handle through his vest. Her presence of mind failed her not at this critical moment. When they had reached the foot of the stai - s, she suddenly ex• ringuished the light, and stood up against the wall. The man, muttering imprecations, advanced a few steps groping his way. %revel, profiting by this movement, re-mounted the step, agile and noise lessly, closed and bolted the door upon this pre tended traveller, and then barricaded herself in an upper chamber, there to await her master's arrival Krettel had not been many minutes ensconced, in her retreat, when a fresh Knocking sounded at the inn-door, and she perceived there two ill-look ing men, who asked her what had become of a traveller who had been there a short time before. From their description of his appearance, the young girl immediately discovered that the person sought for was the stranger whom she bad locked in the cellar; nevertheless she thought it most pru dent to make no admission on the subject. On her refusing their request to open the door, the two men thieatened to scale the wall. The poor girl trembled with fear; for she knew that they could easily accomplish their project by means of the iron bars fixed to the windows of the lower story. In this perplexity, Krettel looked around her, and her eye fell on a musket which hung from the wall, a relic of her master's younger days. She seized it, and pointing the muzzle out of the window, cried out that she would fire on the first man who attempted to ascend. . The two robbers—for that they were, could no longer be doubted—struck d,ur.tb at the sight of fire-arms where, expecting no resistance, they brought no weapons, and confounded at such intre pidity, went away uttering sihe most fearful mena ces, and vowing to return again in greater force.— In spite of her terror our heroine remained firm at her post. An hour passed away in this critical po• sitio , at last the girl perceived her master and bure. t it frien coming in sight, accompanied by the e mast r and some officers. T e brave Krettel rushed to the door, and her fear. mounting almost to despair, gave place to the liveli st joy. To the wonder at d admiration of all she r lated what had happened; the burgoknaster espe all . ) , lavished on her the warmest praise for her talc conduct. The officers went in search of th, robber, whom Krettel had imprisoned with so noblo addre s s and presence of mind.

Mrs. Jameson has given in her Legends of the " Madonnas," descriptions of the -persons of the Virgin and Saviour!' The former is extracted from the history of Niceponus Callistus, on the author ity of Epiphanius, who had himself derived it from more ancient autho. ity. The latter is in sub tance from the famous letter Purporting to have been written by Lentulus to the Roman Senate. It is very well established that these portraits are the works of pious monks of the middle ages, descrip tive of real or imaginary pictures prevalent in those days. Even as such, however, they may have value, for these pictures of the pencil or im agination perchance have authority from the tra ditions of the church. However it may be, these descriptions are the only authority for the portraits now generally - received, and stamped in Bibles, Prayer Books, &c. "The Virgin was of middle stature; her face oval; her eyes brilliant, and of an olive tint; her eyebrows arched and black; her hair was of pale brown ; her complexion fair as wheat. She spoke little, but she spoke freely and affably; she was not troubled in her speech, but grave, courte ous and tranquil. Her dress was without ornament, and her deportment was nothing lax or feeble.— Mrs. Jameson mentions the general belief, in which she apparently concurs, that the Saviour resembled his mother in person, for, she observes, " It is ar gued Christ had no earthy father, therefore, he could only have derived his earthly lineaments -1 from his mother. All the legends assume that the resemblance between son and mother must have been perfect. Kugler, in his "Handbook of Italian Painting," gives two descriptions of the per son of the Saviour. The first is from a letter of Lentulus to the Roman Senate, originally written, about the end of the third century, out not found until the eleventh ; the second by John of Dames-, I ens, dates from the Sth century. In the former, Christ is described as a " man or stately form, dignified in appearance, with a coun tenance that inspired veneration and which whoso looked upon it may love, as well as fear. His hair curling, rather dark and g'ossy, flows down upon. his shoulders, and is parted in the middle after the manner of the Nazarenes. The forehead is smooth,' and very serene, the countenance without line, or spot, of a pleasant complexion, moderately ruddy. The nose and mouth . faultless, the beard thick and; reddish, like the hair, not long, but divided, the eyes. bright, and 'of varying colors." John of Damas cus describes Jesus as of stately growth, with eye brows joined together; beautiful eyes ' large nose, curling hair; somewhat stooped; in the 'bloom of life ; his beard black, his complexion olive, like' that of his mother, with long fingers, &c. The' description given by Lentulus agreed with the ac count of Epiphanius of the person of the Virgin.— It is the European, and one might almost say, the Greek type, and in this she as the sanction of the great masters of art.—Neui York Pout. A Few Worms ABOUT BATIIII.III.—As the season, or this healthful luxury is now with us, we have; bought the: following article on the subject,froM the Philadelphia Pulle , in, would prove acceptable to many of our numerous readers Even the best things are occasionally productive of injurious consequences, when indulged in to ex. cess, or used without discretion. Bathing is one instance among many. Too much bathing debili rates even the most robust, often destroys the apse: tire. or leads to other hurtful results. Hot baths, not tepid ones, are particularly apt to prove delite rious. Few persons, indeed. can employ them at all with advantage. Dr. Tilt, an English physician Or eminence, oho has written as admirable work on the best means of preserving health, gives it as the best means ot preserving health, gives it as his personal experience that hot baths produce tempo rary plethora, head ache, and a sense of weakness amounting almost to fainting. These are, he thinks the general results also. He advises, therefore, that hot baths should be avoided, unless when a phy sician has explicitly directed their use. Tepid and cold baths, to be employed according to the con-titution and habits of the particular in dividual, are the baths to which most should confine themselves. Nervous persons are esp-•cially bene. fired by the tepid bath, which seems to have a di rect sedative influenc. on the nervous system, prob ably by absorbing. according to Dr. Tilt, the mor bid irritability arising from an undue development of the mind at the expense ot the body. Napoleon. after excessive fatigue, either • mmtal or physical, was accustomed to take a tepid bath, and, if possi ble, indulge awhile in sleep; and he was often heard to declare, that, without such a sedative, it would have been impossible for him to have preserved his general health. Alter his exhausting return from Russia, subsequent to the memorable conflagration of Moscow, he went immediately into the bath be tore transacting business, and then slept, without waking, for eighteen hours; and when he rose he was as fresh as ever. The celebrated Diana ot Po ictors, one of the most beautiful women France ever gave birth to, and who maintained her charms long beyond the usual term, owed the preservation of her loveliness principally to to the daily, but judicious use ot the bath. Thus we see that ordinary health, the capacity to endure great fatigues alike of mind and body, and the maintainance of personal beauty in the fair sex, depend, more or less, on the discrim inating, but habitual employment of the bath. The tepid bath is, perhaps, the due most genes ally suitable, The temperature of a tepid bath should range from 68 deg. to 86 deg. Fahrenheit. While the temperature is kept below blood heat, the body slowly increases in weight, partly owing to the absorption of water, partly to the dimunitiOn of insensible perspiration. In a tepid bath, heated. from 82 deg. to 86 deg. Fahrenheit, it was ascer tained, by Chossat, that the pulse descended from sixty pulsations to thirty-eight ; and it was clear ly the soothing effect thus produced, which rendered the tepid bath so delicious to the irritable nerves of Napoleon. Dr. Tilt recommends the tepid bath after long railway journeys, excessive wanking or riding, or at periods of nervous irritability, superin duced by any cause. Cold baths are favorites with many persons, es pecially those of robust frames and high health.— But it is never wise to remain long in a very cold bath. On coming out, if the stay has not been tno protracted, the body feels as it entering into a war mer atmosphere, because also the sensibility of the skin is blunted. Sometimes headache supervenes. This is a sign of a partially diseased skin, and a want of re-action, causing the blood to remain con centrated on the internal organs, where it was driven by the shock of the cold wwer. The best, perhaps, the only test, of the kind of bath proper for each particular individual, is ex periment. Opinionated persons, ignorant of them dui operandi of the bath, always maintain that the sort adapted fur themselves is the description suit able for all. We know some individuals, who swear, as it were by cold baths, and others who are just as obstinate in behalf of tepid ones. A phy- - •sician, familiar with the habits and constitution of the patient, can generally tell what kind of bath should be used, even without experimenting. GETTING Manttian.—A down , east exchange says that the sensitive young ladies in his part of the country have lately held a convention—ladies' . conventions are all the go now—the subject matter to be considered being the most delicate method of committing matrimony. Some propos ed steam and some the electric telegraph ; but both these meglods presented difficulties that could not be surmounted. At length one of the two young ladies who bad been quietly confabulating in a cor ner, rose and said that she knew that when the dreaded moment of matrimony arrived she should faint, if some-method were not devised by which the terrorsof the dreadful trial could be momenta rily buried in forgetfulness; she therefore proposed the application of chloroform, and the suggestion was received with loud applause from the assem bled spinsters. This is decidedly better than the plan of the bashful man, who wanted to elide into matrimony by degrees.. A .white.handkerchiet plied to the nose, a moment passed in blissfu' dread, and you are awakein the promised land.
