Miss Kitty jland, tflnongthe rest, that of Mrs Ualpli ,;zinej whom we consulted, did not give uni pZ 'irersai satisfaction. Indeed it occasioned us the loss of one of our previoujy most active female VTSiieinbers,- who" having herself married at thirty (k "five, was outraged that jwe 6Koaj pitch upon t tbirtys the eatering pynt of n old maid's (. . life, anii.left oar society because of this fas she VChose tojcall U"Juad anacUouism iu our pro- selves to obey the regulations of the Institution. jsUfffit i lhey are placed upon tlie confessional before the females of the Matrimonial Committee; and mi!hf commit in sacred con6dence their ages, healths, fortunes, family connections, &c. all ot which are duly registered. Being thus in ducted into the Institution, let us explain the manner and philosophy of their preparation for, and introduction iuto the married state. Primarily, then, we regard celibacy in a fe male after attaining a certain age, as a disease. Woman was created for practical results; she is neither a platonic deduction, nor a physicolo- gical abstraction. - She is a dual in her nature, 'and a parasite by first intention. The German language designates the unmarried maid by a term of the neuter gender; thus in its admirable philosophy, voting woman a sexless cipher un til married.

The Murderer, vives, her spirits return, and a gtu'.le breeze and buoyant waters seem to lift up Lerstanded bark, and bear it onward iu the broad road stead towards the heaven of matrimony. Then the attention of the members of the Association being gratuitous, and assiduous, she leaves off her old and disagreable arts to attract attention upon finding them supererogatory. Cats are carefully excluded from the Asylum. Mirrors, also, after several months of experience, have been banished, and our patience are dressed by patients, and advises with the board as to courting her, he is given her position, family age, and fortune, copied from the register. Candid dealing, (however absurd and incred ible it may seem to some), we believe to be the shortest road to matrimony, and we think we discover in it a conservative princi ple, affording considerable security against unhappy matches. It leaves no room for disappointment. The circumstances of our waning ma us in a sivie Biuiruimate iu men . . t . , T . it i inmates being carefully concealed except acres. Looking in mirrors, we found, excited o i that vanity in some which it was our design to soothe; others it rendered fretful aud peevish, and for some again it seemed to weave mourn ing weeds for roses faded, and beauty departed. Our discipline discourages sentimentality, as we generally find it unnaturally developed. We exclude all novels and poetry, Milton, Shakespeare, and Iludibras excepted. Oar diet is simple and wholesome, condiments being avoided as much as possible. We have musi cal instruments of all kinds, with carefully sel ected music, such as "Love Not," "Twenty Years Ago," S:c Italian and opera airs have been latterly excluded because they seemed to act unfavourably ou the nerves of many pa tients. So much for the details of our plan, and our discipline, and mode of treatment; now for the results of our experiment. upon opening i.ne Asylum, the committee no field to operate upon; and in love, iu los t;a ' ,T t lumaie r"c" r ,rer?7 ms its poetry, gains much in more substan means enables us to accomodate at fifty; which L-1 nmiwr i'i i-.nn c.ii i.n i .. tialtrose. from him who has made his selection,- we have in this a protection against fortune hun ters. Contrary U the establiseed usage of soceity, the attention of our beaux is direct ed in personam, and not in rem. We believe that if many of the principles we have fairly put in practice could be brought to bear in society, one half the connubial misery of the world would be saved. " Marriage is at best a lottery. 'Where liow few tlie prizes, and the blanks are countless!-' In society the middle aged marry from avaricious or speculative motives, while the young are dragged into matrimony as oxen are pulled into the care of Cacus in a re trograde manner.

The number of members of our Association, including the Ex ecutive Committee, varies from tweuty-fire to one hundred. We opened the Asylum on the first of April, 1857.. Our two drawing rooms are constantly open and full of company, noue fivwever, having access to them but members- of the Association. We give parties regularly, and balls occasionally, adopting, in short, all Tibe approved routine of fashionable city enter frjament. The Sine-cure ilfembers, who as I hale remarked, include only bachelors and widowers, being obligedito attend our eutertaiu - meats, they are never iusipid for want of com pany or a disproportion between the sexes. If any bachelor is peculiarly diffident he is placed under the patrouage of some experienced mem ber, who introduces him, and does not deseit him u"tu association has worn off any uneasy sensi bility, and thus, in a short time the most bash ful bachelor will find himself at ease in any company or society. The true pareut of that ymPathy caued love, is association. Proximi ty produces love between man and woman as naturally and certainly as it produces ossimila tlOtt and aUra,: i, .. thPr two magnets.

This impression, however, is not a decided one, and you become completely at oS8 what to think.
