The celebrated Sir James Mackintosh, the well known English historian, who proves himself in this instance to have been no loss a chronicler of the heart's best affections than a writer of political fiicts, in a letter to one of his learned friends, present the following beau tiful delineation of the chancier of his decea sed wile a woman who, from her husband's representation, most have been such n one as the poet Wordsworth described when lie wrote of. "A perfect woman, nobly planned. To warn, to comfort and to command; And yet a spirit, Mill and bright With Home thing of an angel light." "Allow me, injustice to her memory," writes Sir James, "to tell you w hat she was, and what I owed her. 1 was guided in my choice only by the blind affection of my youth, and might have formed a connection in which a short-lived passion would have been followed by repentance and disgust ; but I found an in telligent companion, n tender friend, a prudent i monitro.'s, the most faithful wife, and as dear a mother ns ever children had the misfortune to lose. Had i married a woman who whs easy or giddy enough to he infected by my impru dence, or who had rudely attempted to correct it, I should in either case, have been irretriev ably ruined ; a fortune in cither case would, with my habits, have been only a shorter cut to destruction. But 1 met a woman who, by the tender management of my weaknesses, gradually corrected the most pernicious of them and rescued me from the dominion ofadegra dins and ruinous vice. "She became prudent from n fleet ion ; and though one of the most generous nature, she J was taught economy and frugality by Iter love lor me. During the most critical period of my life, she preserved order in my affairs, from the cares of which she relieved me ; she gently reclai med me from dissipation ; she propped my ir resolute nature ; she urged my indolence to ull the exertions which have been useful and cre ditable to me, and she was perpetually at hand to admonish my heedlessness and improt idenee. To her I owe that I am not a ruined out-cast ; to her whatever I shall be. In her solicitude fur my interest she never fir a moment forgot my feeling and my chancier. Even in her occasional resentment for which I but too of ten gave cause (would tot Sod Ihnt I could recall thoii'i moments!) she had no Millcunc.-s acri mony. Her feelings wore warm and impetu ous, but she was placable, tender, and constant. She united the most tender prudence with the most generous and guileless nature, with a spi rit that disdained the shadow of meanness, and with the kindest and most honest heart. "Such was she whom I have lost; and I have lost her excellent natural sense, which was im proving, after eight year of stmgalo and dis tress had bound as fast together, and moulded our tempests to each other : w hen a know ledge ofher worth had refined my youthful love into friendship, before ago had deprived it of much of its original ardor. I lost her, alas! (the choice of my youth' and tho partner of my mis fortunes) at a moment when I had the pros pect of her sharing my better days. To ex pect that any thing on this side of the grave can make it up, would be a vain and delusive expectation.

The quota tion depicts that truo memory we should all cherish of uny departed friend, w hether wife or hubbaud, father or mother, brother or bister. "It was soothing," bays the rxcellcnt character we have alluded to in the novel, "it was sooth- ing to me to keep her, in all hr avecatiort', constantly before u.e.

Hindi examples of the purest affection are well worthy of being impressed upon the tab let o memory, and of becoming t!m illustrious models of praiseworthy imitation. We hope that there are in our country many such women as tho wilii of Sir James Mackintosh, and wo would that their name was hgion. "Worth makes the man," is the old saying: but worth makes the uoman, too, and it is woman's influ ence, which makes, and has made, as history will prove, those good and great characters which are reverenced in his life, and which are beautifully illustrated in Scripture, as'Hheiiol ished corners of the temple." "There never was a great man," says a celebrated writer, "who had not a great mother." Evening Tmntcript . )- vnt t ItUIIHOl XX. Almost every one of our readers have heard of Laura Hr iilginno, this interesting girl, in thc Institution in New England, who is "Deaf, numb and Mind." A correspondent of the Salem (Mass.) Register, who has been reading some letters from Laura to her friend, thus spoaksof the interesting girl: It is unnecessa'y for me to say who, or what or where Ijiura ftridgman is. livery child has heard of Iter, and feels a deep interest in all that pertains to her history.

No less I assure you; and having been favored with several specimens or her epistol ary writing, I trust it will not lte deemed a breach ot privacy if they arc communicated to your readers. Laura's letters, to be sure, arc not to be classed with thrwe of Lady Montague and other celebrated cpistolarians of her sex, but they will, I doubt not, possess, in the esti matinn nf most people, a peculiar interest, whi:h neither ease and eleganco of diction, nor superior talents and acquirements could possi bly give. She is fund of writing letters, and her writing is surprisingly legible, considering t!;c disndvantarrs she labors tinder, anil her spelling remarkably correct. Her little corres pondent is more favored than herself, in being blessed with the full enjoyment of all the le ulties, and their friendship is as touching r.e it is interesAieg end delightful. They ollen in t' rchange presents as tokens of their allection, chielly articles uf their own handwork, which are doubtless more valuable in the estimation ot the receiver than any could bo purchased with tho gold ofOphir. Itura is skilled in the manufacture of several trifles w hich would h? deemed specimens of ingenuity as the pro duction of any child of her age, and her needle work would do no discredit to one infinitely more favored by naturo than she is. Among other things theic was a miniature apron made by her, very neatly sewed and trimmed, and in nothing indicating any defect save that a very small portion of tho little ruffle that skirt- 1 1 i explanation for those who are not fimihur with the management of tho Asylum for the Blind; but those w no have read Dr. Howe's reports will r.-adi!y tinderstanil tho meaning and appreciate Hie furco of her remarks.
