ber of girls turn out badly, who have
been educated. alone till they attain
the age of maturity, limn of those who
haveljeen otherwise brought up—the
separation of the. sexes have been
found to be positively injurious. It is
stated, on the best authority, that ol
those "iris educated in the schools of
convents apart from the boys, the
great majority go wrong within a
month after being let loose on society,
and meeting the other sex. They
'cannot, it is said, resist the slightest

moral, but this unnatural seclusion ac

An Extraordinary Case of Bribe.
The following is going the rounds
as a true story, and as having occurred
in Cincinnatti not long Since :' About
twenty years ago—a man and wife' (of
prominence by fashionable position,)
who had been wedded long enough to
be blessed (?) by a female babe, discov
ered that they did not love one anoth
er as they should, and therefore sepe-
rated forever. The ..wife- -took the
child and sought a home in an Eastern
city, where her parents, resided, resum

child the same. After a divorce Ijad

and Scientific Character

The Londpu Times of the Oth inst.,
in one of it$ leading editorials, expres

superior efficiency of the officers of
the Russian army:

garded as a desirable prize by - design

escaped all their snares to the great
annoyance of pretty girls and charm

the duty of Mr.- to. get married.
It might have been settled aversion to
the sex—or might be attributed to his
earl y lesson—yet, a fact it was, that
he. did not marry
But not to be too prolex, we’ll cut
-off some of the little unimportant
items and proceed to -the story. In
last June a Miss J arrived here
from the East on a visit to a relative
who ha l been a re ident ot Queen Ci
ty but a few months ago. The second
week of her sojourn threw her in com
pany with this grass widower'of twen
ty years standing, who showed by his
.attentions that lie was more than usu-
a”y impressed by the charms of the
fair stranger. Eveiy -evening found
hini at her side, and she was thought
not to be entirely insensible to his
charms of'person and mind. A month
glided away—a month of courtship,*
which was carefully noted and mean
ingly winked at by her relative. At
length her hand was asked in mar
riage, and the matter referred to her
connection.
He seemed to favor the project, and
appointed an intervifew fof'the trio the
same evening. They met in the par
lor, when a more formal solicitation
for her hand was-made; and while the
ardent suitor was waiting with breath
less anxiety for the answer that was
to seal his fate, the ■ young lady was
left Wwarct and presented to tier own-
father !—the lover.
It is needless to add that both were
astounded, however, it has resulted in
;ood ; the father lias settled a liberal,
fortune upon the daughter, and ere
this both -are in Paris, preparatory to
making the tour of Europe, This ro
mance of every day life is but another

“ My dear,” said her mother, “ that s
a strange opinion.” /
The !young lady colored. -
“Not, imaiqma, without.the experi

There’s toy old schoolmate, Julia, who
made such a rorfiantio marriage-; and
who is now miserable.”
“ X am glad you mentioned her,
Emily, for now I know how you fell
into your error. Eor instance, I do
not admit that Julia married for love,
in the true sense of that term. In oth
er w.ords she was not iu love with*
Lieut. Carter, but an ideal officer, who
was perfection in all things ”
“ Oh, : mamma.”
‘Lam not a. bit too severe. Most
of the marriages, which school girls
call love-matches, are of this character.
Between the young couple, there
really no love at all, but each, one
loves an ideal being, which the curls
of the lady, and the mustache of the
gentleman, have respectively suggest
ed. Of course when, after marriage,
the two become intimately acquainted,
the delusion fades, The husband
soon discovers that the wife, who
comes down to breakfast - in curl-pa

who now thinks of her own; comfort,
quite as much as his, is anything b.ut

the evening with her, is nowffequent-

In this way, the scales fall from the
eyes of both, and disgust succeeds to
infatuation. May, by a natural law

“ What a picture you have drawn

if I am to be thus deceived.” - -
The mother smiled.
“ But, my dear,” she answered, “I
have not said that all marriages ended
thus. My remarks were confined to
those in which there was no true love
on either side, but in. its place a ro
mantic fancy for an impossible-bit of
peifection. It is only those who are
foolish enough to marry under this
delusion, who live unhappily, for they
only are disappointed.”
“ But, mamma," said the daughter,
liesita ing’y, “how can you call ’ that
love, which admits even the possibili
ty of a fault in the one beloved ?”
“True love, my dear, loves in spite
of fault. Or rather, it is founded on a

teaches him or her who loves, that the
one beloved, even with his or her
faults- is better adapted than any oth-
