This'species of composition is one which most men, in the comae of a long and checkered career, become familliar with. If they have not got to write love-letters of their own, the chances of life or of profession bring them generally in con- act with the love-letters of other peo- ple ; and general experience agrees in this, that there is no branch of litera ture co universally cultivated to so very little purpose or use. Love-letters ought, on theory, to be full of genius. They contain, or are - supposed to con tain, the young gushings of nature and of the heart. And it is very mach in favor of the writers that they write in moments of considerable exaltation and mean what they write to be seen only by one pair of liquid eyes. At Caps 1 1 such a taelcone"would think only a very stupid man would fail ; but, on the con trary, one finds that very few men suc ceed. Perhaps, at the time, it is not of much consequence whether the author ie fortunate in a literary point of view or not, as the only critic to whom his efforts are submitted is usually blindly partial, and perhaps not pinch of a lit eraryjudge. Bat as clever women every now and then are fascinating", and men do happen to fall in love with them, it is necessary to have some sensible views as to what a letter of the sort, directed to a competent critic, should contain. And inasmuch as, in the present condi tion of society and the law, nobody can be quite certain that his love-letters may not hereafter be published, either for the benefit of newspapers or for pos. terity, it is important that people should begin to give their minds to doing their epistolatory duties well and in a manner calculated to bring no disgrace upon I themselves or their education. What ruins most love-letters is not the senti- ment, or the unwordliness that under lies them, so much as an adherence to a common form,• which is not by any means based upon the rules of the highest art. The leve-letters of trades men and half-educated people, whenev er they turn up in the papers, are al- ways full of little commonplaces, which the writers appear to consider appropri- ate to the situation. They never seem able quite to make up their mind wheth er it is the correct thing to call the beloved object thou or you; and the second person plural keep blundering up against one another in a manner that must be heart-rending to any young tradesman's mistress who is much of a grammarian There is something about the letters' of lovers who belong to this class of life that reminds the_reader of a valentine. It is the correct thing apparently among them to engage in a periodical . corres. pondence. and the Brittish tradesman does_it without a murmur ; but his share in it generally consists of assuran ces that when he got back to hie shop after leaving the lady otitis affection he could not sleep a wink, but that even in the dark watches of the night he is "thine, fondly thine." The young mil liner to whom it is addressed is far bet ter pleased that these little common forms should not be left out. Love-let ters, like a trousseau, a wedding break fast, and a trip out of town, are the proper incidents of courtship and mar riage. Other young milliners have had them, and it would be painful thing to think they were to be omitted, The I happy tradesman is bound to gratify so harmless a sentiment of feminine dignity, and flourishes away with his these and thous in order to keep pace with his and his fair mistress' conceptions of what a love-letter ordinarily is and what it is designed to be. The love-lettere of educated people r_e.vms Love-Letters. are doubtless less grotesque, but educa ted people have their own common forms, which to cold and - rational" ob servers would appefir possibly little less ridiculous in the long run. The poetry of 'the times has a good deal to say to the love-letter'of the period. Gr An exchange tells the , following characteristic story of the poet writer; On a recent occasion he was traveling with a friend over a New Hampshire railroad, and during the conversation, Whittier's friend—who is also a member of the Society of Friends—told the poet that he was on his way , to contract for a lot of oak timber, which he knew would be used in building gunboats at Pods moath,and asked him whether he thought it was exactly in consistence with the peace doctrines of the Quaker denomina tion. Without saying anything calcula ted to decide the question,the two friends arrived at their parting place, when Whittier shaking his friend's hand, said "Hoses if thee does furnish any of that oakftimber ye spoke of, be sure that it is all sound." lir A foreign journal states that a man, with the instincts and habits of a wolf, has lately been discovered in a pack of wolves in the kingdom of Oude, India. Wolves abound in that country and children are often carried off by them : and the theory in this case is, that an infant was carried off by a she wolf, adopted and raised to manhood, and now presents the appearance of a Inman wolfe. The creature has been caught, clothed, and is now kept by a gentleman living in a town some eight hundred miles from Calcutta. He does not speak, eats his food on the ground, and avoids the gaze of the human eye. A' The following 'is valuable : "For one pound of coffee take one egg and beat it well. When the coffee is nicely browned and cool enough not to cook the egg, pear the egg over it, stirring it until every kernel is coated with a var nish, and let it stand a few minutes in a warm place until it dries. This will pre vent the escape of all aroma, is not affec ted by moisture, and the egg helps settle the coffee when it is ground and steep ed."—[This is the good old way of our grandmothers. The Meriden (00nn.,) Visitor tells of a suicide at Hanover, in that town, lately, in which a man named Perkins cut his throat and fell dying in the barn yard. We quote : "In this condition he was found by one of the ladies of the house,. Oh I is this you, Henry Perkins? she exclaimed. He lifted his wilting eyes from his weltering gore, and faintly, though measuredly, replied, 'This is Hen ry Perkins,' and expired immediately." erSaturday afternoon some workmen in Louisville dug a deep pit into which to drain a vault. A workman at the bottom heedlessly struck a pick into a thin partition wall between the pit and vault. He was at once everpowered by the noxious gas. Three men successive ly decended the ladder to rescue their predecessors, and all perished, nobly striving to save the lives of their friends. eir A elam merchant, meeting one of his own fraternity the other day, whose pony might be considered a beautiful specimen of a living skeleton, remonitra ted with the owner, and asked him if he ever fed him. "Ever fed him ! that's a good one," was the reply ; "he's got a bushel and a half of oats at home now, only he han't got time to eat 'ern." fir He is the most thoroughly educa ted man who derives hia knowledge not from books alone, nor from men alone, bat from the careful and discriminating study of both. A truly learned man is liberal towards opponents, tolerant of error, charitable, toward frailty and com. pasionate toward failure. Only the ig norant and half-educated are dogmatical illiberal and intolerant. nj Life has few charms for the dys peptic, which is not to be wondered at when we take into account the amount of bodily and mental suffering that this distressing malady generates.

We have heard and read of many in ducements held out by editors to , per sons for new subscribers, but the follow ing is the best : "The editor of the Gar diner Journal says : "For two new sub scribers, furnished by any good looking young lady, we will furnish a husband, or if we fail in that, we will marry her o' =elf as soon as the law will allow." Dryden was so fond of reading, that his wife one day exclaimed, "I wish that 1 were a book that I might always be in your society." "I wish you were an almanac," he replied, "so- I could change every year." , Now that "tilting hoops" are going out of fashion, let one thing be said in their favor—the wearers of them were never liable to arrest for "having no visible means of support.

Anecdote of a Dog, Those who take an interest—and who does not 7—in the faithful attachment ' of dumb animals to their owners, may perswi- with pleasure the following anec dote, which, from the character of the journal relating it (a French scientific journal of high repute,) doubtless pos sesses the element of truth : The pro prietorof a chateau, in the neighborhood . of Cassel, died a short time since, and his remains, amid a wide spread grisf. were lowered into the family vault, anti deposited on a sarcophagus in the subterranean chapel, pending the com pletion of certain operations necessary to prepare the place destined to receive the - coffin. The deceased had owned a hound, to which he was particularly attached, and Lucy returned his affec tion with double interest. At the death of her master the poor beast would not quit his death chamber, and was seen on the morrow, with his head bowed down and eye mournful and sad, follow ing with mournftil steps the funeral cortege, accompanying to its last rest ing place the body of him of whom she had been so fond. After the ceremony, when the friends and neighbors had retired, the outlets of the vault were carefully closed, and for .a• time no one thought of Lucy ; but when at length they sought her she could not be found, notwithstanding the active search made over, all the estate. The servant espe cially charged with the careof the ken nel suggested that, as Lucy was with young, she had been prostrated in some cave or hollow in the neighborhood, as she had heen in times liefore. In the meantime the workmon were sent for to complete the detaita,ef.the interment, but it was not till 14r,the-lapee of ten days that they corkid..got to the tomb, The first visit to the. remains of one so justly lamented was made with a cer emonious solemnity. Bat what, a spec tacle presented itself to the view of the visitors I The pall had been palled off, the lid of the coffin torn open, and upon the breast of the deceased there lay another corpse—that of poor- Lucy, who, without doubt, after having borne her litter, had come to die upon the body of her master. In a corner of the vault were found, expiring, the seven little ones, whom the poor mother had ceased to nourish because she had ceased to live. It is difficult to imagine the labor the faithful creature must have gone through in order to lay bare .the body of her master whom she would seem to have wished to come to life again. The cover of the coffin had been gnawed open ; the shroud was in pieces; but the corpse remained intact. GrA young married lady named Downs, residing in Springfield, Mass., on Saturday, left her home and took the cars for Hartford, in company with a young man not her husband. Here was a glorious piece of scandal, and most gloriously was it improved by one of those watchmen around the social camp, of the feminine persuasion, who scent depravity as far as a certain class of birds can smell the carcasses they love to pray upon. So she hasten ed to the husbands place of business and informed him that his wife bad eloped with "a strange man." Husband re membered that she had arranged in the morning to visit her friends in Water bury, bat she had omitted to state to him that she had secured a strange gentleman as escort. So the next train takes him to Hartford, and the swiftest horses thence to Waterbury. And when he got there he found his wife had been accompanied by her own brother, who had arrived just in time to take the cars with her, and not soon enough to call on him at his place of business.— The husband turned his wrath against the meddlesome impertinence that had sent him on a fool's errand, but he ought rather to have vented something of his anger on his own jealous and unjustly suspicious self, girA genius living in California made a nerve and bone and all-healing Salve, and thought he would experiment a lit tle with it.
