"Yes, sir; my mother says they are the fashionable branches; modem geography and arithmetic are so common, you know,—everybody learns them. 81m wants me to learn the higher branches." "Will you take a message to your mother from me?" "Yes, sir. "Tell her thai you met a gentleman on the ferry boat who told you that ancient geography, and rhetorio, and physiology, are not the studies for a child of your age; and that modern geography, arithmetic, and a good newspaper, are the higher branehee.— Don't forget this." It would be for us a perilous undertake ing to assert that girls, in general, are not equal to boys, and consequently that women are not equal to men. We assert no suoh thing. We are afraid to do it— we fear almost to put the case hypothetical ly. Are girls equal to boys, and women to men, in tact ana ability to accomplish what is equally with the capacity of either sex ? Have they equal presence of mind in danger, equal readiness of resources, equal knowledge of passing events, equal power to seize new arts and to take advantage of opportunities ? To sum up in a won], do they make as much ana m good use of their faculties as boys and men ? 1860. SPRING. 1860. China, Glass, Earthenware, •r ■. a. w. a. FRESH GOODS WM.

Vt length we entered the broad estuary of he St. Lawrence, and then the mystery vas solved, for its entire surface was :htckercd with manses of ice; evidently he broken up winter covering of the riv:r above being swept by the current out to lea. Nothing could exceed the beauty of ;he ice-fields as they flashed and sparkled ike gigantic gems in their setting of azure ica. Many were of great size also, like loating islands, and the heaped up blocks upon their surface gleamed from a distance like cities of dazzling crystal. The wind was in our favor, and our good ship sped up the gulf, threading her way ihrough the channels of the floating ice Selds, while, hour after hour, her passengers stood watching with unwearied eyes ;he splendid scene around them. Even when night came, there was the same eabrer throng of gazers, for those large frozen plains glittered in the moonlight wjili a strange ipcctral beauty none of us had cv»r seen before. After a time, a mass of ice huger thim joinmon,appeared floating down the stream. Subsequently, wo learned that it was part af the cone the spray forms every winter before the falls of Montmorency. On it lame, gleaming palely against the deep blue sky like a castle of spotless marble, rising in tower and turret, and massive buttress, and enriched by the most delicate tracery. Every eye was fixed upon it in breathless admiration, as it swept majestically by, until, as it passed between us and the wind, by its loftiness it momentarily becalmed us. Suddenly tho stationary ship received a Bcvere shock, which not only vibrated through all her timbers but through every one of the hundred and forty human beings who formed her living freight. Never shall I forget the shrieks of terror that followed, as women well-nigh frantic with fear, clasped their children to their bosoms, believing that the ship had struck upon a rock, and that their last momeat had come. A cry from the bow that it was but a blow from the ice, somewhat relieved their fears, and they stood quietly by, while the helm was put down and the sails drawn round, in the effort tc 1'ree us from the huge mass of ice which ■till lay across the vessel's bows pressing and grating aubibly against her timbers A minute more, and above the din of block; and cordage, and the stamping of men'f feet, there arose a wild cry that echoed far and wide over the surrounding fields oi ice, and through every cranny of thC neighboring ice castle—"The ship is sink ing!" It was an appalling announcement; anc unfortunately it was a true one. The ici had struck ub heavier than we thought and it* hard, sharp edge, keen and resist less as a knife, pressing against the bow oi our vessel—undefended as she was by thC double timbers needed for icc-encounteri —had cut them completely through, sc that the water rushed in with the force anc rapidity of a cascade. What a fearful scene of terror and con fusion ensued; the shrieks and lainenta tions of women, the cries of children, and the silent anguish of men! as they beheld the fears and daogers of those dearest tc them. • On none did the blew fall heavici than on me; for I had a delicate wife on board, and of my two little ones, the young, er was an invalid. Meanwhile, no time was lott. There was no space to lower th« boats, and the pale, terrified passengeri were hurriedly passed down, by the bowsprit, upon the ice. It was touching to set some snatch a cloak or wruppcr as the} passed, the solo relic of all their worldlj possessions; while othett, in their terror departed without even that. A few provisions were next sent down, quickly fol lowed by the crew; and then we stood t wretched, cowering group upon the field 01 ice that had wrought us so much evil watching for the last moment of the goot ship, which had brought us in peace and safety more than two thousand miles.

How many tearful eyes brightened and heavy hearts throbbed quick and gratefully, as they watched that sail speed on towards us before the last breath of the expiring gale 1 As she drew near the only fear was lest she should not have apace for all. Nearer and still nearer she oame, until we could see the men upon her decks, and then—we could scarcely believe our eyes—she passed us by, unobserving or unheeding the signal we had placed upon a spar, and the dark group of human beings clustered around it. If unheeding, Heaven forgive them, for it was a fearful depth of despair into which to fling back so many of their fellow-creatures. The women sank down too heart-stricken for words, and the men lifted up their voices in bitter indignation at the cruelty that could thus leave women and children to perish. Death in one of his most fearful forms did indeed seem pressing close upon us, for our scanty stock of food was exhausted. Many flung themselves at fall length upon the ice, utterly indifferent to all outward objects ; while others prayed earnestly over the dear ones for whom all earthly hope ia passed.

It is possible that we overrate the influence of the newspaper as an education, but we think not. It is the voioe of the living world. It is history, art, philosophy, science, truth, justice, rhetoric, grammar, and everything else—not unmixed with falsehood and nonsense, but not more so mixed than the home infant school for girls, from which boys break away before their bones are out of tho gristle. _ Take Grammar, Natural History, Rhetoric and Composition.

They all ran but one sturdy woman, of the strong minded class, who stood her ground till the ghost got to her, when she seised it, and thrust out of his frightful disguise a mischievous fellow who had heard the project of walking round the grave yard discussed, and hid himself to give the party a fright. She led him back to the house, and in reply to the questions poured in upon her said, " Can't fool me I I've seen too many men in sheets to get frightened at them I" FRA.NK BRANDEDBUUU.

Suddenly a load shout rose above the plash of the waves and the murmur of sorrowful voices, and echoed cheerfully over our froeen resting place. Every eye turued seaward, and there, but a few fathobs from us, lay a large vessel, which, absorbed as we were in our misery, had approached us unperceived. Her bulwarks were filled with sympathising faces, and to our feeble cheer of welcome there came back so heaity a response that it sent a glow through our shivering frames. Never was kindness greater than we poor ice-wrecked voyagers received from the crew and passengers of that ship, crowded though she already was. To their care and attention we owed not only our own lives, but those of the dear ones who seemed about to die; and never ckn we feel fully grateful for their good offices, or the many sacrifices they made in our behalf. Tne ship was westward bound, and on our arrival in Canada, the account of our misfortunes brought us many offers of employment. Tears have passed since, and j the world has gone well with us, but«nothing can erase from our minds the haunting remembrance of the days and nights of suffering we passed upon that fearful ioe field. , at 011# J .C» ftVs'i ASSETS.

M. Collomb admits that man had*n existence before the oldest glaciers, and was a cotemporary of the mammoth. M. Laatec seeks to prove that a great portion of the animal world, inoluding man, survived all the changes of the auarternary or diluvian period. M. Gandin, a noted botanist, subscribes to this view, and strengthens it by a comparison with the vegetable world.— M. Pictet asserts that the Soologioal population of the globe was not modified in the ohange from the diluvian to the modern-period. C£) - Co f L. : :fiO ■ ■ . .
