The editor says that 'he has seen the young lady and can vouch for the truth of the story. The hairs grow from the inner side of the thumb and sometimes from under the nail; some . of them tire soft, others like bristles, and they vary in colour, size and length. The growth is very rapid. A number of scientific gentlemen have exam ined this singular phenomena, but can give no explanation of it. ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM PRISON.— We learn, says the Pennsylvanian, that on Tuesday morning last, Reinhardt, who was recently convicted of murder in Reading, made an attempt to escape from the prison in that place. In the mormng, when the bell was rung to summon the prisoners to breakfast, he rushed down stairs with an iron bar in his hand,' ran out of the kitchen and made the best aids way off. Immo. diate pursuit was given by a number of citizens, and after a chase of about a mile arid . a hall he was brought to bay. He turned upon his pursuers, and threatened to kill the first man who approached him.. Mr. Samuel Ritter, the former postmaster, borrowed a gun which was in possession of one of the persons present, and approached Reinhardt, calling on him to surrender. This he rolosed to do, and made a demon stration to execute his threat, when Mr. Ritter fired iind wounded him severely.— Ile threw down the bar, and was recaptur ed, and safely lodged in prison. We may talk about education for ever— about the importance of physical and in• tellectual, and the necessity of moral edu cation—we may get a stereotype set of urvei pftracma, um] ita‘ CI oils mouth to mouth, and from lecture to lecture and report to report—but unless we study the springs ofaction in the human mind, the laws of mental growth, the modes of stimulating faculties to activity, our talk ing, acd lecturing, and reporting will be in vain. MOMENTARY EXOITEMENT.-NrYOr yield to the excitement of the moment. Should something cross your feelings, and you per ceive the passions begin to boil, erns!' them at once. Do not suffer them a moment to get the ascendency•over your better na ture• In conversing with a companion, you should be extremely careful lest you take offence at what may untinkingly be said. Avoid all disputes. For these tend to irritate the feelings, and alienate friends. MANSION HOUSE. 'Mrs. MIL . E. Camp, (ros)tgnLir OF THY WASHINGTON HOTEL.)

A distinctive characteristic of the present age is the multiplication and cheapness of its literature. In every department of let ters now works are constantly falling from the press, and notwithstanding the extraor dinary supply, the demand continues with unabated activity. This is especially true of those lighter publications which convey instruction in agreeable and 'attractive forms, and supply a means of recreation at 1 the same time that they offer facilities for' improvement. Scarcely a day passes in which some now work of this description is not given to the politic, and though among the largo nu fiber thus issued some may bo unworthy or useless, generally they are do serving of commendation. As mast of the publications referred to aro printed in solid volumes, they aro inac cossiblu to the mass of those readers who ; arc remote from large cities. The cost and tho JifFiculty of transparting books to places which do not lin an the great thoroughfares of the country, aro such as to prevent their extensive circulation in the ioterior, and to make their prices so high, ns toliMPose serious tax on all who purchase thein. To obviate in some degree this dal ndtv. and to place within the reach of all, the choicest portions of th&entertilining literature of the (lay, the Subscriber inteuds to publish, in a forntsuitable for transportation by the mails, beginning ozi the first day of October inst., a monthly periodical, to be called The Peoples Library, OR MAGAZINE or CHOICE AND EN- TI RTAINING TITERATURE. THE PEOPLE ' q.LIIIHARY will CMliiSt prin cipally of rep-ints of the 6g:it productions of the Britiih press.

And all other modern writers of distinction will he embraced in the collection, a' anon ao Possible after their publication abroad; :and in occasional instances prior to any publication which cart be made by the book sellers here. In addition to the Novels, the library will contain such amosimr Memoirs, Diverting Travels, and oilier fresh and ra cy works as may from time to time be tho't worthy of being transferred to its °lgoe. It is a subject of familiar remark, that along with the wide spreading taste for lit erature, there is springing up in rill parts of this country, a taste for the finer works of pencil find the graver, which denotes a ra pidly progre.33ive civilizition. To minister to this taste, and to render "The People's Library" of the highest value, and worthy of the mist extensive patronage. the pro. prietor intends to furnish along with each number An exquisitely engraved Steel Plate, From the burins of the most distinguished artists. These plates, will be accompanied with letter press illustrations from the pens, of i
