The story of the horse shoe is of the same kind,' and R.; the above, is usually met with in books of scientific recreation. A man selling a fine horse is to,receive for it nothing more than the value of the twenty.fourth nail of the animal's ehoeti, supposing that the first nail is worth a far thing, the second two, and so on doubling each time. The bargain is a tolerably good one, since the twenty fourth nail at this rate proves to, be worth eighty ihriusand dollars. • Girlish Fanciesl—Girlish fancies generally speaktng, are very ridiculous fancies ; and are so considered by the. entertainers of them after the excitement of a first " coming out" has:passed away.

It may be safely asserted tliat no young lady, say under the age of sixteen or se• venteen, is capable of selecting a 'suitable; partner for life; and if they should take the responsibility of engaging their affections to some sighing admi rer, they ought not to complain of parental tyranny if they are suddenly anti unpleasintly awakened from dreams of wedded bliss and love in a cottage oi•nee. • yam' Palindromes .
