Which wil f you have ? Ex Associates. It is very difficult to estimate the influence which the different members of the human family have upon each other. Man is a weature of habit, and he is also mi imitative being. Such ' is his nature, that he becomes, in ever3 respect, tike those with whom he associates. During the early por tion of our existence, we do no thing but imitate othrrs. ChiK dren learn to talkj like those with whom they associate. The sound of the voice is like those with whom tlicv are .brought in dailv contact. The accent of the wonls is the same, and the mode of ex pression is identical. The voice of children often is so like that of their parents, that it i3 difficult to distinguish the j one from the other. tNo douht jthisjs due, in part, to the natural configrAti on of the organs of speech ; but the greater part of it'is -merely artifi cial. The onlv natural languajja which man possesses is laughing arid -crying; and the only s.onnds which he would make, if left to himself, are those which are made by. persons when laughinsr or crj" iirir. If it were possible to raise, a child, under circumstances in which it would hear nothing but the barkinsr and growling of doors, it would bark and growl like them., niiuren H imitate, onlv the language, but the the ger.tures of the hod, and tho. manners and customs ot those with, whom they; associate. There m a y be, and no doubt often is something in the! structure of some persons bodies that causes them to have a ,-peculiar gait : but imitation plays no insignificant part in the manner in which an individual walks. This is often strikingly illustrated. A boy is sent off to college. He goes trom a backwoods com m unity, and comes in contact with meu of refinement in every respect. If the boy is endowed with a full share of What is called imitativeness, he will present a very different appearance, when he comes home at the end of the term, trom what he presented when ho left home. so changed that his He will be own mother will scarcely recognize4rim. The features of his faeeyvvill be chang ed, the modexof carrying his hands will bcthfference.and when ho walks ltewiU present the ap peanmeCof a new niiin. Wheth er he has made much progress in boolcs or not, unless he is exeeed- ifigly stupid, the gawk will be pressed out of him. j The capability to imitate, is very weakly . developed is some persons, ami cmisequ ehtly it takes a long time to produce a change upon thetn. in any respect. In others, the power is so strong that they can imitate an3thing they may see or hear. It is stronger in all persons in youth, and al most ceases to exist as old age comes upon' us. In the latter na rt Ot Ii fe we tf can do li ttl e more than practice what we ha ve learn ed in childhood and youth. . It is evident that no one can be too 'careful with respect the chaiacter of those with whom he associates.

Ho w'as in his boat before his auchor hud touched the bottom, and on landing proceeded straight to the Governor's Jiouse, and peremfon ' lv demanded that the executions - shou Id cease. The Governor at first declared that he had no right to interfere, but the Captain said that in he absence of an Ameri can man-ofrwar he would take the responsibilitv ot protecting American f'iti7.ens. and o-iiardino . , o o the honor of the American flag. It is said he gave tho Governor General his choice between yield ing to .liis demands or having the cit3 bombarded, and the Govern or accordingly gave way. Only tor the arrival of the ISiobe there can he no doubt butthat the fifty would have been shot that after noon.4 All the Americans iu port were ' .loud in praise of the manner in Which the Captain ot the Niobe acted. I ascertained few days after his arrival that he came in answer to a telegraphic message tjom the American Con sul, sent after the massacre of Captain Fry and the crew, asking to have an American man-ofwar dispatched to Santiairo de Cuba. There happened to be no Ameri can man-ofwar in Kingston at the time, but the commander of the Niobe .immediately got up steam, andj" even though he had not his full complement of men n . 1 1 1 maii3 or tnem being on snore without delay started tor Santiago de Cuba. One of his first acts was to compel the Spaniards to remove the American flag from the place on-the deck of the Tor nado where v it had been thrown about, asid trampled upon for days, more like a rag than a flag. He also compelled the Governor of Santiago to ""furnish him witn five copies ot the official proceed ings in regard to tho trials oue for himself,-one for his Commo dore, one for the American gov ernment, one for the British, and the remaining one for the Ameri can Commodore." When con cluding his story Mr. Coffin assur ed the reporter that the Spanish authorities somehow seem to have no respect for Ihe American gov ernment, and do n jt hesitate on the slightest pretext to insult the American flag.
