Heal elegance ot demeanour springs from the mind, fash ionable schools do but teach its imitation, whilst their rules forbid to be iogenuous. Philosophers never conceived the idea ol so perfect a vacuum as is found to exist in the minds of young women supposed to have finished their education in such establishments. If they marry husbands as uniformed as themselves, they fall into habits of insignificance without much pain: if they marry persons more accomplished, they can retain no hold of their affections. Hence matrimonial miseries, in the midst of which the wife finds it a con solation to be alway9 complaining ot her health :ind mined nerves. In the education of young women we would say let!

At this season of the year, says Mr Pro wn of Piuefield, when caterpillars generally attack fruit trees and iKisheo. the following method of preventing their attack may nof prove underserv ing of notice. Let a hole be bored in the stem of the tree, as far in as the heart, in a direction sloping downwards, about a foot from the ground Into this hole pour a little mercury. Close up the hole with a peg, not very tightly fitted in. Cut the top of the peg smooth with the bark of the tree or bush, and then put a litte tar over it to prevent water getting into the hole. This I have found a s ;feand sure method of not only preventing attacks of Catevpillars, but of driving them off the tree; and it is not y et, I believe, publicly known. Quart.
