who was nirnselt one ol the most remarkable in
stances of the progress of age in new studies. Ogilby, tho translator of Homer and Virgil, was unacquainted with Latin and Greek till he was past fiftv. Franklia did not fully commence his philosophical pursuits till he h id reached his fiftieth year. Howin iuy noi'tug us of thirty, forty, and fifty, who read nothing but newspapers, for the want of a taste for natural philosophy? But they are too old to learn. Accorso, a great lawyer, being asked why he beg m the st idy of law so late, answered that, indeed, he began it late, but he should therefore master it sooner. This agrees with our theory, that healthy old ago gives a man the power of ac
complishing a ditucult study in much less time than would be necessary to oneof half his years. D.-yden, in his nixty-eighlh year, commenced tho translation of the Iliad ; and his most pleasing productions were written iu his old age.

A PALPABLE Ilir!

"The orator after fuIK scanning the vrtst assembly, which almast filled a 100m near 40 feet square, camo to tho conclusion that it would re

'Tho style of social intercourse, established by families and neighborhoods, has a strong influence on tho unformed character of children. Naturally gregarious the expansion of the social principle gives thoin pleasure. They receive their most vivid impressions through the senses; and there is a consent of the senses, in the satis

instead of staving where you have no chance of getting a good husband, hasten to the happy land which lacks nothing to tnako it a terrestrial paradise but vour charming and charm-bestowing presence. Come where there are thousands longing to welcome you with affectionate rescci where your tender hearts and white hands will be eagerly sought for by a host of ardent admirerswhere the influence of your beauty is strengthened by a rich government bounty where tho ardor of a lover is spurred on by the certainty ofa valuable settlement und where your onlv difficulty will be to make your choice

fling themselves and all their possessions at your feet. Messrs . Editors, please to say to those ladies who are petitioning vour Congress not to admit
Texas into lhe Union, that they may spare themselves any f irtlier trouble. At the next session of our Congress the application will be withdrawn; for the citizens of Texas arc now as unanimous
in their opposition to tho annexation as they were in 1833 in favor of it. We are making preparations to expott our cotton to, and import our English goods direct from Liverpool, whose merchants, instead of treating us as outlaws and outcasts from society, are eager to secure our trade; and you will yet see that in spurning our alliance you have lost, and never can regain, what would have become tho most valuable portion of your trade.
