LaGkange, Oet. 26, 1850.
We, the subscribers, patrons of the LaGrange Col
legiate Seminary for Young Ladies, under the charge
ot Milton E. Bacon,beg leave to make, to the public,
some expression ol our opinion, in regard to the merits
of this important Institution. We feel no hesitation in
saying that we regard it as one ol the best Female
Seminariesin our country,and worthy of the conlidence
and liberal patronage of an intelligent public. We re
gard the Principal as eminently qualified for his respon
sible position, and he seems to have spared no pains in
procuring the services of able Assistants in the various
departments of the Institution. It gives us much plea
sure to he able in this public manner, to express our
high gratification at the improvement whicli our daugh
ters have made whilst connected with the Seminary,
and having witnessed in them the excellent fruits ot
the moral and intellectual training through which they
have been conducted, we can with greater confidenct
conmiend the Institution to the favorable notice ofour
particular Iriends, and to all others who may have
daughters to educate. The examination of the various
classes, now in progress,so far as we have been able to
give it our attention, has been o! a highly satisfactory,
character, being conducted with great fairness and im
partiality, and evincing at once the ability and faithful
ness of the teachers, and the diligence ot ihe pupils.
The performances of the Young Ladies in Vocal
and Instrumental Music were truly admirable, and nt
(orded abundant evidence that Professor Lhase, the
Principal in this Department, is eminently qualified for
the position which lie occupies. We are pleased to
learn that .Mr. Bacon’s Seminary has a growing reputa
tion, and a constantly increasing patronage. During
the present year he has bad a larger number of pupils
than at any former period. \Y r e trust that future years
will mark the same advancement in the interest of the
LaGrange Collegiate Seminary, and that its distin
guished Principal will never fail to receive from a dis
cerning and generous public that encouragement and
support which are due to his great effurts and uncom
mon sacrifices m the cause of Female Education.

FOR YOUNG LADIES.
The undersigned beg leave to make a brief express
ion of their views, in relation to the above named Sem
inary, under the charge of Mr. Milton E- Bacon. Ii
ha 9 been in successful operation lor eight years, and
during that time, has been rapidly advancing in useful
ness, efficiency and public favor. The principal is a
gentleman of high attainments, great moral worth,
and of much dignity of character, and has associated
with him in the various departments of the In
stitution, individuals of ability and experience. It
is rare to find such an array of talent and excel
lence in the Instructors connected with a Literary In
stitution. The course of study prescribed, is judicious
and exiensive, and the instruction given, decidedly
thorough and efficient. Much attention is paid to the
moral culture of the Pupils, as well ns to their intellec
tual training and general deportment. Good disci
pline is maintained, incentives to laubab e emulation
judiciously applied, and uncommon exertions made to
ujpet in ail respects, the reasonable expectations ot pa
rents who may see fit to commit their daughters to the
fostering care ol ihe Institution. We are acquainted
with no female Inst'tution in the State, that has higher
claims to public patronage and conlidence, anti in our
opinion, it will compare favorably with the best Female
Seminary in our country at large.

AN ANECDOTE—BY CHARLES DICKENS.
One evening, a short lime since, the curate
of 8., a small village in the north of France,
relumed much iiitigued to his humble dwell
ing. He had been visiting a poor family who
were sullering from both want and sickness;
and the worthy’ old man, besides administer
ing the consolations ot religion, had given
them a few small coins, saved by rigid self-de
nial lrom his scanty income. He walked home- •
wards, leaning on his stick, and thinking with
sorrow, how very small were the means he
possessed of doing good and relieving misery.
As he entered the door, he heard an un
wonted clamor of tongues, taking the form of
a by no means hamionious duett, an unknown
male voice growling forth a hoarse bass,
completely overscreeci e 1 by a rema kably
high and thin treble, easily’ recognized by the
placid curate, as proceeding Irom the xvell
practised throat of his house-keeper, the
shrewish Perpetua of a gentle Don Abbondio.
“ A pretty businesss this, Monsieur !” cried
the dame when her master appeared, as with
flashing eyes, and left arm a-kimbo, she point
ed with the other to a suriy-looking man
dressed in a blouse, who stood in the hali hold
ing a very small box in his hand. “ This fel“
low.” she continued. “ is a messenger Irom the.
dilligence, and he wants to get fifteen francs
as the price of the carriage of that little box
directed to you, which I’m sure, no matter
what it contains, can’t be worth ha f the mo
ney.”
Peace. Nanette,” said her master; and ta
king the box from the man who,’ at his ap
proach, civilly dolled liis hat, he examined the
direction.
It was extremely heavy, and bore the stamp
of San Francisco in California, i together with
his own address. The curate paid the fifteen
francs, which left him possessed of but a few
sous, and dismissed the messenger.
He then opened the box. and displayed to
the astonished eyes of Nanette, an ingot of
virgin gold, and a slip of paper, on which
were written the following words :
“ To Monsieur the Curate of B.
* A slight token of eternal gratitude, in remem
brance of August 28th, 1848.
*• Formerly sergeant-major in the —th regimentjnow
a gold-digger in California.”
On the 2Sth of August, 1848, the curate
was, as on the evening in question, returning
from visiting his poor and sick parishioners. —
Not far Irom his cottage he saw a young sol
dier with a haggard countenance and wild
bloodshot eyes, hastening towards the bank of
a deep arid rapid river, which ran through the
fields. The venerable priest stopped him and
spoke to him kindly.
At first, the y 7 oung man would not answer,
and tried to break away from his questioner;
but the curate fearing that he meditated sui
cide, would not be repulsed, and at length,
with much difficulty*, succeeded in leading
him to the house. After some time, softened
by the lender kindness of his host, the soldier
confessed that hejhad spent in gambling a sum
ol money which had been entrusted to him as
sergeant-major of his company. This avowal
was made in broken words by sobs, and the
culprit repeated several times, “My poor
mother !my poor mother! if she only knew —”
The curate waited until the soldier had be
come more calm, and then addressed him in
words of reproof and counsel, such as a tender
father might bestow on an erring son. He
finished by giving him a bag containing one
hundred and thirty francs, the amount of the
sum unlawfully dissipated.
“It is nearly all I possess in the world,”
said the old man. “ but by the grace of God,
you will change your habits, you will work
diligently, and some day, my friend, you will
return me this money, which, indeed, belongs
more to the poor than to me.”
It would be impossible to describe the young
soldier’s joy and astonishment. He pressed
convulsively his benelactor’s hand, and after a
pause said:
:i Monsieur, in three months my military
engagement will be ended. 1 solemnly prom
ise that, with ihe assistance ol God. Irom that
time I will work diligently.” So he departed,
bearing with him the money and the blessing
of the good man.
Much to the sorrow and indignation of
Nanette, her master continued to wear through
the ensuing winter his old thread-bare suit,
which he had intended to replace by warm
garments, and his dinner frequently consisted
of bread and'soupe mi ere.
“ And all this,” said the dame, “for the sake
of a worthless stroller, whom we shall never
see or hear ol again.”
“Nanette,” said her master, with tears in his
eyes, as he showed her the massive ingot,
whose value was three thousand francs, “nev
er judge hard of a repentant sinner. It was the
weeping Magdalen who poured the precious
ointment on her Master’s feet; it was the out
lawed Samaritan leper who returned to give
thanks. Our poor guest has nobly kept his
word. Next winter my sick people will neith
er want food nor medicines; and you must lay
in plenty of flannel and lrieze for our old men
and women, Nanette!”
A Marriage Neatly Accomplished-
Lizst the pianist, had taken a fancy to a jew
eler’s daughter, and thus the courtship is de
scribed :
One morning the jeweler, coming to the
point with German frankness, said to Lizst,
••How do yon like my daughter?” “ She is
an angel.” “ What do you think of mar
riage ?” “I think so well of it, that I have
ihe greatest possible inclination to try it.”—
“ What would you say to a fortune of three
million of francs ?” 4 -1 would willingly ac
cept it.” “Well, we understand each other.
My daughter pleases you; you please my
daughter; her fortune is ready —be my son-in
law.” “With all my heart.” The marriagewas
celebrated the following week. And this ac-,
cording to the chronicles of Prague, is a true
account of the marriage of the great pianist
Lizst.
Interesting Fact. —The New York Cou
rier states that a surgeon in the U. S. Army,
recently desired to know the most common
cause of enlistments. By permission of the
captain of the company containing fifty-five, on
a pledge never to disclose the name of any of
ficer or private except as a physical or meta
physical fact, the true history was obtained
of every man. On investigation it appeared
that nine-tenths enlisted on account of female
difficulty; thirteen of them had changed their
names, and forty three wore either drunk, or
partially so. at that time of their enlistment. —
Most of them were men of fine talents and
learning, about one-third had once been in el
evated station of life. Four of them had been
lawyers, three doctors, and two ministers.—-
The experimenter believes, if it were not lor
his pledge of secrecy, that this would be aa
interesting a history, and would exhibit the
frailty of human nature aa fully as any expe
riments ever made on the suhjeet of the pas
sions.
