BY AUNT Ltror I REMEMBER, I remember All my childish days at school ; When I pored o'er simple pages In the air of morning cool ; When I read old Peter Parley, Like a bonk•worm, through and through, When I shunned good Lindley Murray, And dull Colburn's "two and two." I remember golden pleasures . Brought by Wednesday afternoon, How we ran through blossomed hollows In the leafy month of June ; How we caught the autumn showers From the nut-tree's laden bough ; How we scaled December ennw drifts : Wherg are all those children now ? I' remember, in our school room, Ono low window where I sat Eyeing, with halfpitying envy, Some untutored..dog ot cat ; Measuring the lengthened shadows Thrown by elm•trees on the floor ; Did the teacher catch my lances ? Eyes played truant then no more. I remember her, our teacher, Sitting in her chair of state, Holding for each reverent pupil Springs of good cr evil fate. One and all, we loved and feared her, Though we oft her patience tried, And her smile to us was sunshine ; Dark the day when 'twos denied. I remember those old school-days— Fringed with rainbow tints they pass, When, as now, I hold before me Memory's prismatic glass. Schoolmates I some of you are sleeping Cahnly 'neath the silent mould ; Some have grown to prudent matrons ; 1, methinks, run growing old. A TIMMS!! LADY Bismixo.—Her attire is first removed. An attendant takes a glove— every day it is a new glove—of undressed silk. With the disengaged hand she pourS over her mistress basin after basin of warm water.— Then by means of gentle friction of the glove she slowly removes the salts and impurities which are deposited on the skin. This finish ed, the attendant covers the lady from head to foot, by means of a mob of downy silk, with a lather made of particular emollient soap, pe culiar, we believe, to Turkey. Upon this soap depends much of the pencil-like softness and snowy whiteness of the skin for which Eastern women always are so remarkable.— It has the reputation of removing stain spots and freelele#!4i...4Are n ot, ea ItlTutiole. This part of the matter having been carefully performed, the lady is again . deluged in waver, heated to 110 to 120 degrees, and poured over her person from a taus (ba sin) of silver. Large towels—we might call 'them sheets—of the finest muslin, richly em• broidered with lloWers and gold, are wrapped around her ; she is led into a saloon, where, reclining upon a heap of cushions, she sinks into a soft dream-like languor, that might be- cone faintness were it not for the assiduity with which a slave fans her. A. NOBLE Fentow.—On the morning of December, Ist, four little boys broke through the ice on the lake near their school house, in Waterville, Wis. Tho villagers hastened to the spot, but the ice was so thin that none dared venture to their aid. At this moment, just as the boys were sinking, a young man, eighteen years of age, named John Adams, sprang forward, seized a fishing spear, and leaving most of his clothe. on the bank plung ed into the lake and saved two of the boys. He then made a dash, and saved the third.— Adams was now almost exhausted, but the mother of the fourth boy was standing near, in horrible agony, and Adams said to her, "I will save your buy or die."„. Tying a ro . pe a round his waist, ho told those on shorrk pull him if he sank, and cried out, "Stand by the rope, lam going to him." He then plunged in, and breaking the ice with his bands, seized the boy wbo was sinking for the third time, carried him ashore, and restored him to 10 mother's arms. THE Rev. DL BELLOWBj of Now York, re. cently delivered an excellent address on mirth, in the course of which he remarked: For my part, I say it in all solemnity, I have become sincerely suspicious of the piety of those who do not love pleasure in any form.-- I cannot trust the man that never laughs; that is always sedate; that has no apparent outtste.l for natural springs of sportiveneas and gaiety that are perennial in the human soul. I know that nature takes her revenge on such violence. I expect to find secret vices, malignant sins, or horrid crimes springing up in this hot bed of confined air and imprisoned apace; and therefore it gives me a sincere mural gratifica tion anywheN ancljn any community, to see innocent pleasures and popular amusement s resisting the religious 'bigotry that frowns so unwisely upon them. Anything is better than dark, dead, unhappy social life; a pray to en nui and morbid excitement, which milks from unmitigated pe i ritinism, whose second crop 'is usually unbridled license and inamous folly. • WHAT NErr P :'A'gentleman named Hall is said to have devised a mode to keep open, he I thinks, the Hudson river from New YOrk to above Troy, and the Elie Canal in winter; and is about applying to the Legislature for a law permitting him to levy toll on boats and vessels passing through them, to defray' the expense.

"Certainly," replied the inflatbd coxcomb, "if my hour of admission had passed." "Chief Justice Taney is, in hitaself, the most elevated man in his country—second in rank only to the President—and it will form a bright privilege in your life hereafter, to say you were permitted to tate him by the hand."
