The following beautiful original poem, entitled “The Only Son,” is from the pen of Mrs. M. S. B. Dana Shindler, of Mississippi. Mrs. Shindler is well known in the muaicat*world os the author of a vol ume of songs, Southern Harp,” which is very popular. We understand that, at the sug gestion of Mr. Oliver Ditson, the Boston music pub lisher, this ludy is preparing a “Western Harp, on the plan of the above-mehtionod work, which is to take popular airs and arranged to words that can bo used with the piano on Sunday, or by those who desire a collection of sacred songs. Mrs. Shindler is so accomplished-a musician, that a song of hers will at once become popular. The lines given here are arranged to the air of 1 ‘ Jarnie’B on the Stormy Sea : ’ ’ J Home Journal. Hazing back on years departed Sat a mother, lonely-hearted, l)own her cluck sad tears had started; Wept she for an only son ; Not a word her lips were saying, Koasons for her grief betraying; But her earnest heart was prayiDg For her lost, forsaken one. Bitter cold the wind was blowing, Cold the weary heart was growing, Forth to Heaven her prayer still going, Wept she for her only son. “Father!” cried she, “watch thou o’er him, Smooth life’s rugged path before him, Soon to my fond arms restore him; Save my lust, forsaken one!” While she wept, her hopes grew brighter; VVhilo she prayed, her heart grew lighter; Tempests could no longer fright her — Hoped she for her only son. Soon her earnest prayer was granted— Hod"soon gave her what she wanted ; in her arms she clasped, enchanted, Her long lost, forsaken one. Ye, who walk through life despairing— Never hoping, ever fearing— Hoar that mother’s voice, all cheering, Telling of her only bou ! God is still His promise keeping, His kind care is never sleeping ; Hopo nud pray, whenever weeping, For soino lost, forsaken one. UEKMS OF THE BEAUTIFUL. Scatter the germs of the beautiful! By the waysido let them fall, That the rose may spring by tho cottage gate, And tho vino on tho garden wall; Cover the rough and the rude of oarth With u veil of leaves and flowers, And mark with the opening bud and cup The march of summer hours. Scatter the germs of the beautiful in tho holy shrine of hoinn; Let the pure, and tho fair, and the graceful thero in the loveliest lustre come; Leave not a trace of deformity in the temple of the heart, But gather about its hearth tho gems Of Nature and of Art Scatter tho germs of tho boautiful in tho temples of our God — The Hod who starred the uplifted sky, And flowered tho trampled sod; When he built a temple for himself, And a homo for his priestly race, He reared each arm in symmetry, And covered each lino in grace. Scatter the germs of the beautiful in the depths of the human soul; They shall bud, and blossom, and bear the fruit, While the endless ages roll; Plant with the flowers of charity The portals of thS'iomb, And the fair and the pure about thy path In Paradise shall bloom. A SWEBIHEARS RACE. BY SEBA SMITH, Hardly any event creates a stranger sensation in a thinly settled Now England village, especially aihong the young folks, than the arrival of a fresh and blooming Miss, who comes to make her abode in the neighborhood. When, therefore, Squire Johnson, the only lawyer in the place, and a very respectable man, of oourse, told Farmer Jones one afternoon that his wife’s sister, a smart girl of eighteen, was com ing in a few days to reside in the family, the news flew like wild-fire through Pond village and was the prinoipal topic of con versation for a week. Pond village is situated upon the margin 'of one of those numerous and "beautiful sheets of water that gem the whole surface of Now Eng-- land like the bright stars in an evening sky, and received its appellation to dis tinguish it from two or three other villages in the same township, which could not boast of a similar location. When Farmer Jones came in to his supper about sunset, that afternoon, and took his seat at the table, the eyes of the whole family were upon him, for there was a peculiar working about his mouth and a knowing glance in his eyes that always told them when he had any thing of interest to communicate. But Farmer Jones’ secretiveqess was large, and his temperament not the most active, nd he would probably have rolled the im portant secret as a sweet morsel under his tongue for a .long time, had not Mrs. Jones, who was rather of atfimpatient and prying turn of mind, contrived to draw it from him. ‘Now, Mr. Jones,’ said she, as she handed him his eup of tea, ‘ what is it you are going to say ! Do out with it; for ycu’ve been ohawing something in your mind ever since you came in the house.’ ‘ It’s my tobaeker, 1 s’pose,’ said Mr. Jones, with another knowing glance of his eye. ‘ Now, father, what’s the use ?’ said Susan; we all know you’ve something or other you want to say, and why can’t you tell us what ’tis.’ ‘La, who cares what ’tis!’ said Mrs. Jones ; ‘ if it was anything worth telling, we should’nt have to wait for it, I dare say.’ Hereupon Mrs. Jones assumed an air of the most perfect indifference, as the surest way of conquering what she was pleased to‘call Mr. Jones’ obstinacy, which by the way was a very improper term to apply in the case; for it was only the working of seoretivenesß, without the least partiole of obstinacy attaohed to it. There was a pause of two or hree min utes in [he conversation, till Mr. Jones passed his eup to bb filled a second time, when, with a couple aherns, he began to let out the secret. ‘ We are to have a new neighbor hero in a few dayß,’ said Mr. Jones, stopping short when he had uttered this much, and sipping his tea and filling his mouth with food. v Mrs. Jones, who was perfect in her tac tics, said not a word, but attended to the affairs of her table as though she had not notioed what was said. The farmer’s se oretiveness had at last worked itself out, and he began again. ‘Squire Johnson’s wife’s sister is com ing here in a few days, and is going to live with ’em.’ The news being thus fairly divulged left free scope for conversation. ‘ Well, I wonder if she is a proud stuck up piece,’ said Mrs. Jones. ‘ I shouldn’t think she would be,’ said Susan, ‘for their ain’t a more sooiable woman in the neighborhood than Mrs. , Johnson. So if she is at all like her sis ter I think we shall like her.’ .. ‘ I wonder how old she is V said Ste phen, who was jnst verging toward the olose of his twenty-first year. ‘ The Squire called her eighteen,’ said Mr. Jones, giving a wink to his -wife, as much as to say, that’s about the right age for Stephen. ‘ I wonder if she is handsome,’ said Susan, who was somewhat vain of her own looks, and having been a sort of reigning belle in Pond village for some time, she felt a little alarmed at the idea of a rival. ‘ I dare be bound she’s handsome,’ said Mrs. Jones, ‘ if she’s sister to Mrs. John son, for where’ll you find a handsomer woman than Mrs. Johnson, go the town through V After supper, Stephen went down to Mr. Robinson’s store, and told the news to young Charlie Robinson, and all the young fellows who were gathered there for a game at quoits and ring at wrestling.— And Susan wist directly over to Mr. Bean’s and told Patty, and Patty went around to Widow Davis’ and told Sally, and before' nine o’clock the matter was pretty well understood in about every house iu the village. j At the olose of the fourth day, a little before sunset, a chaise was seen to drive up to Squire Johnson’s door. Of course the eyes of the whole village were turned iu that direction. Sally Davis, who was just coming in from milking, set her pail down on the grass by the side of the road as soon as the • chaise came in sight, and watohed it till it reached the squire’s door, and the gentleman and lady had got out and gone into the house. Patty Bean was doing up the ironing that afternoon, and she had just taken a hot iron from the fire as the chaise passed the door, and she ran with it in her hand and stood on the door steps till the whole ceremony of alighting, greeting, and entering the house was over. Old Mrs. Bean stood with her head out of the window, her iron-bowed spectaoles resting upon the top of her forehead, her shriveled hand placed across her eyebrows to defend her red eyes from the rays of the settiug sun, and iier skinny ohin pro truding about three inches in advance of uncouple of stubs of teeth, which her open mouth exposed fairly to view. ‘ Seems to me they are dreadful loviDg,’ said old Mrs. Bean, as she saw Mrs. John son descend the steps and welcome her sister with a kiss. ‘ La, me, if there isn’t the squire kiss ing her tu,’ said Patty,; ( well, 1 declare, I would waited till I got in the house, I’ll die if 1 wouldn’t. It looks so vulgar to be kissing afore folks, and out of doors tu ; 1 should think Squire Johnson would be ashamed of himself.’ ‘ Well, I shouldn’t,’ said young John Bean, who oame up that moment, and who had passed the chaise just as the young lady alighted from it. ( I shouldn’t be ashamed to kiss such a pretty gal as that, any how ; I’d- kiss her wherever I could oatoh her, if it was in the meetin-house.’ ‘ Why, is she handsome, Jack V said Patty. ! Yos, she’s got the prettiest little puot cry mouth I’ve seen these six months. Her cheeks are red, and her eyes shine like new buttons.’ . ‘ Well,’ replied Patty, ‘if she’ll only take the shine off Susan Jones when she goes to meetin,’ a Sunday, I shan’t care.’ -While these observations were going on at old Mr. Bean’s, Charles Robinson and a group of young fellows with him were standing in front of Robinson s score, a little further' down the road, and watohing the scene that was passing at Squire John son’s. They witnessed the whole with becoming decorum, now and a remark upon the line horse and the handsome chaise, till they saw the tall squire bend his head down and give the | young lady a ki-s, when they all burst out into a loud laugh. In a moment, being conscious that their laugh must be heard and noticed at the squire’s, they, in order to do away the impression it must neces sarily make, at once turned their heads another way, and Charles Robinson, who was quick at an expedient, knocked off the hat of the lad who was standing next to him, and then they all laughed louder than before. ‘ Here comes Jack Bean,’ said Charles, ‘ now we shall hear something about her, for Jack was coming by the squire’s when she got out of the ohaise. How does she look, Jack!’ ‘ Handsome as a pictur,’ said Jack. ■< 1 haint seen a prettier gal since last Thanksgiving day, when Jane Ford was here to visit Susan Jones.’ 1 Black eyes or blue ?’ said Charles. < Blue,’ said Jack, ‘ but all-fired bright.’ ‘ Tall or short V said Stephen Jones, who was rather short himself, and therefore felt a particular interest on that poiny. < Rather short,’ said Jack, ‘ but straight and round as a young colt.’ | ‘ l)o you know what her name is,’ said Charles. 1 < They called her Lucy when she got out of the chaise,’ said Jack, ‘and as Mrs. Johnson’s name was Brown before she was married, I s’pose her name must be Lucy Brown.’ ‘ Just such a name as I like,’ said Charles Robinson ; ‘ Lucy Brown sounds well. Now suppose, in order to get acquainted with her, we all hands take a sail to-morrow night, about this time, on the pond, and invite her to go with us.’ * Agreed,’ said Stephen Jones. ‘ Agreed,’ said Jack Bean. Agreed,’ said all hands. The question then arose who should carry the invitation to her, and the young men being rather bashful on that score, it was finally sottled that Susan Jones should bear the invitation, and accompany her to the boat, where they should all be in waiting to receive her. The next day was a very long day, at least to most of the young men of Pond village, and promptly an hour before sunset most of them were assembled, with half a score of their sisters and female cousins, by a little stone wharf on the margin of the pond, for the proposed sail. All the girls in the village of a suitable age were there, except Patty Bean. She had undergone a good deal of fidgeting and fussing during the day to prepare for the sail, but had been disappointed. Her new bonnet was not done ; and as to wear ing her old flap-sided bonnet, she deolared she would not, if she never went. Presently Susan Jones and Miss Luoy Brown were seen coming down the road. In a moment all was quiet, the; laugh and u xhAT country is the most prosperous where labor commands the greatest REWARD.” BUCHANAN. LANCASTER CITY. PA.. TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 26, 1859. joke was hushed, and each one put on his best looks. When they arrived, Susan went through the ceremony of introducing Miss Brown to each of the ladies and gentlemen present. ‘ But how in the world are you going to sail V said Miss Brown, ‘ for there isn’t a breath of wind ; and I .don’t see any sail- boat, neither.’ ‘ Oh, the less wind we have the better, when we sail here,’ said Oharlas Robinson, < and there is our sail boat,’ pointing to a flat-bottomed scow-boat some twenty feet long by ten wide. I We don’t use no sails,’ said Jack Bean; 1 sometimes, when the wind is fair, we put a bush to help pull along a little, and when ’tisn’t we row.’ The party were soon embarked on hoard the scow, and a couple of oars wore set in motion, and they glided slowly and pleasantly over as lovely a sheet of water as ever glowed in the sunsetting ray. In one hour’s time the whole party felt perfectly acquainted with Miss Lucy Brown. She had talked in the most lively and fascinating manner; she had told stories and sung songs. Among others, she had given Moore’s boat ong with the sweetest possible effect; and by the time they returned to -the landing, it would hardly be too much to say that half the young men in the party were decidedly in love with her. A stern regard to truth requires a remark tu be made here not altogether favorable to Susan Jones, which is the more to be regretted as she was in the main an excellent hearted girl, and highly esteemed by the whole village. It was observed that as the company grew more and more pleased with Miss Lucy Brown, Susan Jones was less and less animated, till at last she became quite reserved and apparently sad. She, however, on landing accompanied her home to Squire Johnson’s door, and cordially bid her good night. The casual glimpses which the young men of Pond village had of Miss Brown during the remainder of the week, as she occasionally stood at the door or looked out of the window, and once or twice when she walked out with Susan Jones, and the fair view they all had of her at meeting on the Sabbath, served but to increase their ad miration, and to render her more and more an object of attraction. She was regarded by all as a prize, and several of them were already planning what steps it was best to take in order to win her. The two most prominent candidates, however, for Miss Brown’s favor, were (Jharles Robinson and Stephen Jones. Their position and stand ing among the young men of the village seemed to pat all others in the back grouud. Charles, whose father was wealthy, had every advantage which money could procure. But Stephen, though poor, had decidedly the advantage iu persoual recommendations. He had more talent, was more sprightly and intelligent, and more pleasing-iu his address. Prom the evening of the sail on the pond they had both watched every movement of Miss Brown with the most intense anxiety, and as nothing can deceive a lover, each had, with an interest no less intense, watched every movement of the other. They had ceased to speak to each other about her, and if her name was mentioned in their presence, both were always observed to color. The second week after her arrival through the influence of Squire .Johnson, the district school was offered to Miss Brown, on the other side of the pond, which offer was accepted, and she immedi ately took charge of it. This announce ment at first threw something of a damper upon the spirits of the young people of Pond village. But when it was under stood that the school would continue but a few weeks, and being but a mile and a half distant, Miss Brown would come home every Saturday afternoon and spend the Sabbath, it was not very difficult to be reconciled to the temporary arrangement. The week wore away heavily, especially to Charles Robinson and Stephen Jones. They counted the days impatiently till Saturday; they oounted the long and lagg ing hours to noon. They had both made up their minds that it would be dangerous to wait any longer, and they both resolved not to let another Sabbath pass without making a direct proposal to Miss Brown. Stephen Jones was too early a riser for Charles Robinson, and, in any enterprise where both were ooncerned was pretty sure to take the lead, except where money could carry the palm, and then, of course, it was always borne away by Charles. As Miss Luoy had been absent the most of the week, and was to be at home that after noon, Charles Robinson had made an arrangement with his mother and sister to have a little tea-party in the evening, for the purpose of inviting Miss Brown ; and then, of course, he should walk home with her in the evening; and then, of course would be a good opportunity to break the iee, and make known his feelings and wishes. Stephen Jones, however, was more prompt in his movements. He • had got wind of the proposed tea-party, although himself and sisters for obvious reasons had not been invited, and he resolved not to risk the arrival of Miss Brown and her visit to Mr. Robinson’s before he should see hex. She would dismiss her sohool at noon and come the distance of a mile and a half round the,pond home. His mind was at once made up. He would go round and meet her at the school house, and accompany her on her walk. There, in that winding road around those delightful waters, with the tall and shady trees overhead, and the wild grape vine twining round their trunks and climbing to the branches, while the wild birds were singing through the woods, and the wild ducks playing in the coves along the shore, surely there, if anywhere in the world, eould a man bring his mind up to the point of speaking of love. Accordingly a little before noon, Steph en washed and brushed himself up, and put on his Sunday clothes, and started on his expedition. In order to avoid obser vation, he took a back route across the field, intending to come into the road by the pond a little out of the village. As ill luck would have it, Charles Robinson had been out in the same direction, and was returning with an armful of green boughs and wild flowers, to ornament the parlor for the evening. He saw Stephen and noticed his dress, and the direction he was going, and he at once smoked the whole business. His first impulse was to rush upon him, and collar him, and demand that he should return baok. But when he recollected that in the last soratch he had with Stephen, two or three years before, he had a little the worst of it, he instinctively stood still, while Stephen passed on without seeing him. It dashed upon his mind at once that the question must now be reduced to a game of speed. If he could by any means gain the school house first, he should feel a good deal of uneasiness for the consequence. Stephen was walking very .leisurely, and unconscious that he was in any danger of a competitor i on the course, and it was important that j his suspicions should not be excited.— Charles therefore remained perfectly qniet till Stephen had got a little out of hearing, and then threw down his bushes and flowers and ran to the wharf below the store with his utmost speed. He had one advantage over Stephen. He was ready at a moment’s warning to'start on an ex pedition of this kind, for Sunday clothes were an every day affair’with him There was a light oanoe belonging to his father lying at the wharf, and a couple of stout boys were there fishing. Charles hailed them, and told them if they would row him across the pond as quick as they possibly could, he would give them a quarter of a dollar apieoe. This, in their view, was a splendid offer for their services, and they jumped on board with alacrity and manned the oars. Charles took a paddle and stood in the stern to steer the boat, and help propel her ahead. The distance by water was a little less than by land, and although Stephen had con siderably the start of him, he believed he should be able to reach the sohool house first, especially if Stephen should not see him and quicken his paoe. In one minute after he arrived at the wharf, the boat was under full way. The boys laid down to their oars with right good will, and Charles put all his strength upon the paddle. They were shooting over the water twice as fast as a man oould walk, and Charles already felt sure of the vic tory. But when they had gone about half a mile, they came in the raDge of a little opening in the trees on the shore, where the road was exposed to view, and there, at that moment, was Stephen pur suing his easy walk. Charles’ heart was in his mouth. Still it was possible Stephen might not see them, for he had not yet looked around. . Lest the sound of the oars might attract I his attention, Charles had instantly, on coming in sight, ordered the boys to stop rowing, and he grasped his paddle with breathless anxiety and waited for Stephen again to disappear. But just as he was upon the point of passing behind some trees, where the boat would be out of his sight, Stephen turned his head and looked round. He stopped short, turned square-round, and stood for the space of a minute looking steadily at the boat.— Then lifting his hand and shaking his fist resolutely at Charles, as muoh as to say I understand you, he started into a quiok run. ‘Now boys,’ said Charles, ‘buckle to youroars for your lives, and if you get to the shore so I can reach the school-house before Stephen does, I’ll give you a half dollar a-pieee.’ This, of course, added new life to the boys and increased their speed to the boat. Their little canoe flew over the water like a bird, carrying a white bone in her mouth, and leaving a long ripple on tho glassy wave behind her. Charles’ hands trembled, but still he did good execution with his paddle. Although Stephen upon the run was a very different thing from Stephen at a slow walk, Charles had still strong hopes of winning the raoe and gaining his point. He several times caught glimpses of Stephen through the trees, and as well as he oould judge, the boat | had a little the best of it. But when they came out into the last opening, where for a little way they had a fair view of eaoh other—Charles thought Stephen ran faster than ever, and although he was now considerably nearer the school-house than Stephen was, he still trembled for the result. They were now within fifty rods of the shore, and Charles appealed again to the boys’ love of money. ‘Now,’ said he, ‘ we have not a minute to spare. If we gain the point, I’ll give you a dollar a-piece.’ The boys strained every nerve, and Charles’ paddle made the water fly like the tail of a wounded shark; Charles urged them again to spring with all their might, and one of the boys making a desperate plunge upon his oar, snapped it in two. — The first pull of the other oar headed the boat froth land. Charles saw at once that the delay must be fatal, if he depended on the boat to carry him ashore. The water was but three feet deep, and the bottom was sandy. He sprang from the boat, and rushed toward the shore as fast as he was able to press through the water. He flew up the bank, and along the road, till he reached the house. The door was open, but he could see no one within.— Several children were at play round the door, who, having seen Charles approach with mouth and eyes wide open, stared at him. ' ‘ Where’s the school ma’am V said Charles hastily to one of the largest boys. ‘ Why,’ said the boy, opening his eyes wider, ‘ is any of the folks dead V ‘ You little rascal, I say, where’s the school ma’am V ‘ She jest went down that road,’ said the boy, ‘ two or three minutes ago.’ 1 Was she alone V said Charles. ‘ She started alone,’ said the boy, 1 and a man met her out there a little ways, and turned about and went with her.’ Charles Lit that his cake was all dough again, and that he might as well give it up for a bad job, and go home. Stephen Jones and Lucy Brown walked very leisurely home through the woods, and Charles and the boys went very leisurely in the boat across the pond. They even stopped by the way, and caught a mess of fish, since the boys had thrown their lines into the boat when they started. And when they had reached the wharf, Charles, in order to show that he had been fishing, took a large string of fish in his hand and oarried them up to the house. Miss Luoy Brown, on her way' home through the woods, had undoubtedly been informed of the proposed tea-party for the evening, to which she was to be invited, and to which Stephen Jones and Susan Jones were not invited; and when Miss Lucy’s invitation came, she sent back word that she was ENGAGED. KF“ A young lady who had lost,, or miss-laid, her beau, was advised to “ hang up her fiddle.” She said the advice did great violince to her heart-sfrnigg. Robert. Emmet and his Love. ’Twas the evening of a lovely day—the last day of the noble and ill-fated Emmet. A young girl stood at the castle gate and deßired admittance into the dungeon. She was closely veiled, and the keeper could not imagine who she was, nor that 1 any one of such proud bearing should be , an humble supplicant to the prison door. j However, he granted the boon, led her to j the dungeon, opened the massive iron door, ; then dosed it again, and the lovers were : alone. He was leaning against the prison j wall, with a downcast head, and his arms : were folded upon his breast. Gently she raised the veil from her face, and Emmet turned to gaze upon all that earth con tained for him—the girl upon whose sunny brow, in the days of boyhood, had been his polar star—the maiden who sometimes made him think the world was all sunshine. The olanking of the chains sounded like a ! death knell to her ears, and she wept like i a child. Emmet said but little, yet he j pressed her warmly to his bosom, and their -feelings held a silent meeting—such a • meeting, perchanoe, as is held in Heaven 1 only, when we meet to part no more. In a low voice he besought her not to forget him when the cold grave received his inan imate body—he spoke of by-gone days, the happy hours of childhood, when his hopes were bright and glorious—and he con cluded by requesting her "sometimes to visit the places and scenes that were hal lowed to his memory from the days of his childhood ; and though the world might pronounce his name with scorn and oon tempt, he prayed she would still cling Jo him, when all otherß should forget. Hark ! the church bell sounded, and he remem bered the hour of execution. The turnkey entered, and after dashing the tears from his eyes, he separated them from their long embraoe, and led the lady from the dun geon. At the entrance she turned, and their eyes met—they could not say fare well. The door swung upon its heavy hinges and -they parted forever ; is there not a heaven ? At sunrise, next morning, he suffered gloriously, a martyr to his country and liberty. * Hit And one —o’er the myrtle showers Its leaves, by soft winds fanned; She faded, ’mid Italian flowers — The last of their fair band. ’Twas in the land of Italy; it was the gorgeous time of sunset in Italy. What a magnificent scene ! A pale emaciated girl lay upon the bed of death. Oh! it was hard for her to die far from her home in this beautiful land, where flowers bloom perrenial, and the balmy air comes freshly to the pining soul. Oh, no ; her stars are set; the brightness of her dream had faded ; her heart was broken. When ties have been formed on earth—close-burning ties —“what is more heart-rending and agonizing to the spirit than to find at last the beloved one has passed away, and all our love given to a passing flower ?” Enough ; she died the betrothed of Robert Emmet—the lovely Sarah Curran. Italy contains her last remains, its flowers breathe their fragranoe ovor her grave, and the lulling notes of the shepherd’s lute sound a requiem to her memory. To Acquire a Beautiful Form.— Take abundant exercise in the air—free, attractive, joyous exercise, suoh as young girls—when nofrestrained by false and artificial proprieties—are worn to take. If you are in the country, or can get there, ramble over the hills or through the wood lands ; botanize; geologize ; seek rare plants ; hunt bird-nests, and chase butterflies. Be a romp even though you may be no longer a little girl. If you are a wife and a mother, so much the bet ter. Romp with your children. Attend also to your bodily positions in standing, sitting, lying and walking, and employ such general or special gymnastics as'yo.ur case may require. Live, while in-doors, in well-ventilated rooms ; take sufficient wholesome and nourishing food, at regular hours ; keep the mind active and cheerful —in short, obey all the laws of health.— Take a lesson from the English girl, as described in the following extract: < The English girl spends more than one-half of her waking hours in physical amusements; that is, in amusements which tend to develope and invigorate, and ripen the bodily powers. She rides, walks, drives, rows upon the water, runs, dances,, plays, swings, jumps the rope, throws the ball, hurls the quoit, draws the bow, keeps up the shuttlecook, and all this without having it forever impressed upon her mind that she is thereby wasting her time. She* does this every day until it beoomes a hab it which she will follow up through life. — Her frame—as a necessary consequence — is larger, her muscular system better de veloped, her nervous system in subordina tion to the physioal, her strength more enduring, and the whole tone of her mind healthier. She may not know as much at the age of seventeen as the American girl; as a general thing she does not—but the growth of her intellect has been stim ulated by no hot-house culture, and though maturity comes later, it will last propor tionately longer. —Hints toward Physical Perfection. A Rough Country. The last session of the Missouri State Legislature has been remarkable for the witty speeches of its members. Mr. White, of the House, delivered himself as follows, in reference to the project of forming a new county : I predicate my objections to this new county on different grounds, one, the main and most important, of which is, that I am confident it would not be entitled to a representative in the next fifty years. Mr. Speaker, did you ever visit the territory sought to be erected into the county of Carter 1 Did you ever have an opportu nity of beholding its multifarious beauties, and of examining its boundless resources ? Well, sir, I have. I have been all over it, and I do say here openly and defiantly that there is not level ground enough within its entire limits to build a pig-pen on. (Laughter.) The soil is so poor it would not grow ‘penny-royal.’ Sir, you might mow the country with a razor, and rako it with a fine comb, and you wouldn’t get enough fodder to keep a siok grass hopper through the winter. (Renewed laughter.) Sir, they plant corn with orow-bars, and hold their sheep by the hind legs while they nibble the grass in the cracks of cliffs. (Increased laughter.) Sir, the ferce na- I turae of that section is principally ticks, and I must injustice say,-that variety of insects attain a splendid size in this county of Carter ; the smallest size, falling under my observation, being at least as big as sad dle bag looks. (Laughter.) As to internal improvements in that section this House can form some idea when I assure it that the only thing resembling a road that I ever saw there was when one of the bare footed natives dragged a wild boy seven miles through the snow. (Laughter and cheers.) With suoh a country as this, Mr. Speaker, they propose to make a new county, and the reason given for so doing is that the convenience of the inhabitants will be promoted thereby. Sir, if it were possible to hold their courts under the shade of a post-oak and black-jack sap ling, to keep a Clerk’s office and the records of the county in the reoesses of a hollow sycamore, and to make a jail out of some of the dark and slimy oaves beneath i the craggy hills of that rough country ; if j it were possible to establish the machinery j for doing county business out of suohvma ; terials, we might entertain the subject as [ feasible and plausible. But, alas, even I such advantages as these are denied by j nature to this country. (Great laughter.) jlt is true there would be no difficulty about the caverns for a jail, but the neces sary pobt-oak and blackjaok saplings, to supply with their foliage a canopy for the august tribunals of justice, could not be found. They are not in the country. And as for a sycamore tree suitable for a de pository of the archives of the county, it would be sought for in vain.
