We have more especial reference to tbe season of the year when the beaux take the girls out riding by moonlight; the old women plant garden sass, and the little boys snss everybody; when the old hens lay eggs, and we can then have them for breakfast; the old men lay abed late of mornings because it is pleasant to do so; little girls play hookey frcin school, it being niny congenial to their feelings to play with dolls than with school books : when speckled calves skip o'er the green; gentle lambs skip by the side of the older ones, and the city belles skip about generally ; when the gentle zephyrs begin to zepb, and all nature is gefting ready for a big bust; the ice bursts in the river; the buds burst from their winter quarters and the toys bust around town promiscously, of that kind of spring wo propose writing about. Yes, it is the season of the year when horses feel their keeping, cattle go A visiting, and the boys and girls love each other " muchly," the time when lovers gather garlands for their belovedcsses ; snakes creep from their rocky cliffs, and vines creep all over creation; how nice 'twould be were a fellow a vine to creep past windows and sieh, and take notes for a paper, or paper notes for future reference; and, too this is the time when house cleaning is fashionable, whau the wives are always in good humor and husbands are prohopt at meal hours, knowing that they will be greeted with a loving smile; when straw hats, skeleton skirts and mint julips arc most comfortable ; when we wil have plenty of dog-fights, foot-races and out ofthe way meetings for locals, instead of using those uuheard-ol items, the weather or soasons.

LAWRENCE HOTEL, There was a strong contrast between the two ladies. Mrs. Allctt, who had called upon her friend, was evidently the best looking. Iler face, though not perfect in its outline, nor especially fair, was such a face as one holds pleasantly in the memory. The glances from her eyes were earnest and truthful; the expression of her face changed with every varying thought and sentiment; and her delicate lips Seemed formed only to breathe words of hope and love. There was much equanimity of temper about her ; a graceful placidocss, acquired by a thorough schooling of her passions and an intimate acquaintance with the surroundings of a practical life. Though this was the first impression, the second was quick to follow, that she was a brave, earnest woman, ever ready to walk in the meed of her unwritten heroism— with that positiveness of character that will dare and do anything which is right.

You have exhibited a sensitive ness of fuult-finding—doing so when there was little or no occasion; and making charges which were without a reasonable foundation.— Yon first cried out to him in a quick, pettish tone,'Charlic! cone away from the window. You are soiling the panes with your fingers.' This was not the case. Ilis fingers were clean, and be was finding amusement in what was to be seen on the street. Next was,'Charlesyou naughty boy! Put away that annual. IIow often have I told you not to take books off the table.' He had no annual, but one of the plainest bound books, and was really handling it carefully.— The boy seated himself upon a chair.

A Beactipi-l Figubs.—Life is like a fountain fed by a thousand streams that perish if one be dried. It is a«il?er chord twisted with a thousand utrings, that part asunder if one be broken. Thoughtless mortals are surrounded bj innu which make it mucb more strange that they cscapc so long, than that they almost ail perish suddenly at last. We are oncompassed with accidents overy day to crush the decaying tenements we inhabit. The seeds of disease are planted in our const itutions by nature. The earth and atmosphere, whence we draw the breath of life, are impregnated with death; health is miflle to operate its own destruction. The food that nourishes contains the elements of decay; fhe soul that animates it by vivifying first, tends to wear it out by its own action ; death lurks in ambush along the paths. Notwithstanding this truth is so palpably conconfirmed by the daily example before our eves, how little do we lay it at heart! We see our friends and neighbors dio, but how seldom does it occur to our thoughts that our knell may givo the next warning to the world ! We have established a branch House in Baltimore.
