Yes, my dear girl, an especiul message tor you, before you goand I beg for it an attentive ear, even though "the folks are waiting lo say their loving "good-byes? You have been living tour fifteen yrcrs of life in . the dear, beautiful, God-made country. You re as well tsupht as a child can lie, in the mysteries of fieldand forest: but it was not much that tbey could bit vmi of "boc k leariru, and the ways. -,f the worU." in the little Jog bouse whre you have been head-scholar so long ; and so they are going to send yoa to a seminary of uwge pretentions in a far distant city. ; 1 know j r.rtve but small acquaintance wltii in. m.tv wcenes lobteia yoa aio go ing, and I would tl.erelore mingle, in my farewell, some w biopers of preparation and advice. Ev-ry!biifr, indeed, will be aew to you in thai great seminary. It will be, for a few days, a very Tower of fJ ibal, with all its riuiiio? of bells, its dia-dinning of pmni, tinkling ui guiturs, bum ol study, and the runtiinif to and fro, and the laughter-and tnlking of many girls. You will be confuted and tired, but do not despair; keep your 6oul in patience. In time, all those sounds will be familiar, and have some in-ierei-t !oi vou; they will no more disturb you t!iiu do now the shrill, monotonous voices the kaid u, crasshoppers, and crickets in your father's meadows. . All will be Bew; dress,; manners, even the Very Intiguage of your Companions will seem strange to you. J here will be many things for which vou know no name; you will hear phrases that convey no intelli. gence to our ear ; and there .will be over an air, so grand and matter-ot-counev that you feel half ashamed of your ignor ance And simplicity ; and when yoa over hear the beautiful, tall girl, whom, at first sight, you admired so much, whisper some thing aout "new-comer greenness stu pidity, you will believe.she is "half right, but don't cry you are not stupid be qufet, perse vereing. ueiore tne term is out, you will love the tall girl nearly, and she will have repented of bea rudeness. - Only take it as your first lesson at school, and learn to treat the stranger . with thoughtful kind ness, and be sure to practic it when the nest trembling, bashlul girl comes among you.. ' :' '.' . - . 1)0 not be overcome by the rustling ol silks, and flutter of pretty ribbons.. Misses fashionably attired, will look at you boldly, with long glances that will take you all in; from your comb to your shoes glances, that will decide at once your claims to com. panionship with "the clique." Be thankful 10 your dress if it proves too plain to asso ciate with the elegant wrappers, and wee si k aprons, Irimmed with wide ruffles, and sweet little pockets. for, tnese girls have not yet learned true politeness yoa re not to lorm your manners atier ineir pattern. Only he quiet, and wait; they will not always be looinsn ana prou.a. . You will leel, lor a nay or two, as some- bodv had lost you ; but among; the many, many faces, there will be some to smile upon you some one will find you, and put an arm around you, and will call you "Neb lv." iust as they did at home. You feel at tracted by her generous devotion, she is "Nooonfidinz.so communicative.? If, how ever, shetlierto initiate you into thefautlT of the pupils, or the partialities of the teach ers, and to give you histories of parentage, wealth, respectability, &c., then it is high time to be wary, to turn the conversation into a dmerent channel.

You will see the young lady w bo gives herself op lo a morbid eipfctation. made sick bv her crying, and unable to attend the class room. She may, possibly, be a real victim of careless relations, "too busy to write but I hope you will Dot be drawn into this hue and cry, tor it is mostly roused by a contemptible love of exciting "attention, or by a habit of complaining.

Note-writing is a very fashionable em ployment at boarding achool. The misses think it looks mysterious and important to be reading liitie bits of paper in a corner, to laugh and exclaim over them, to the great wonder and curiosity of the uninitiated It is such an elegant way of wasting one's time this pencilling of one's imaginary woes to a room-mate, with whom there may be any amount of loud honest talk in recess hours. These sentimental scribblers are, slrange to say, very poor at a composition. Do not, dear Nelly, be one of these scrib blers. ' Do not have any dear confidant, who will dqmand your time and attention, to the ent?re exclusion of all other compan ions. Secret gossipping are sad wasters of time and paper, sound sense and healthy af fection.

I have mentioned a few that will attract your immediate attention, and you will be warned by " Querie" to shun them. Go, my girl, to the boarding-school with' brave heart, yet gentle demeanor. Be not afraid of the proud .dolls who -will amuse them selves with your rustic dress. - Wear your garments as your dear mother prepared them, trusting that the wearer's kindness and good will towards all will make them seem better than gay and fashionable ones. ' Do not defy any one ; Af would be un womanly. : You will be in the midst of hu man beings, each one of whom has a claim in some way uponyour interest. They are to be, in ft degree, the educators of your heart, r rom them you are to learn what is true, comiausiJi ntilnl in It may be that your exterior is rough and unpolished ; do not be ashamed to confess it to yourself, hor obstinately adhere to peculiarities not in vogue in fashionable society. Be observant of the polite forms which will greet you, and, aided by a sin cere desire to be kind to all, they, will be come to yoa mediums by which you can easily approach your fellow beings, aud so increase yoar usefulness. ""oSnksiiiPtMt bid you good-bye, I've a great deal to say; but the hints I have given you may be sufiieint to awaken your thought. They are calling you- to go. Kiss them all, these dear ones; that you will not see again for one whole year. Be brave, and yet be. meek. Resolve that when you next see the old maples that shade your cottage home, you will bring a wiser head and better heart a 'heart un corrupted by vanity and affectation ; that Ecu will be worthier of these affectionate earts knowing better how to $erve them than you do now. - Just one .word more.

Douglass Jerrold, a well-known contri' butor to Punch, and editor of various pub ligations, is a man of about fifty year of age, ana in person is remarkably spare and diminutive.

Macula y is short in staturr.round and with a growing tendency to aldertnanic disproportions. His head has the same rotundity as his body and seems stuck on it as firmly as a pin-head. This is nearly the sum of his personal de fects; all else, except ihe voice, (which is monotonous and disagreeable,) is certainly in his fivor. His face seem literally in- at i net with exg. Ijsion; bis eye, above all, it full of deep thought and meaning. As he walks, or rather straggles,, along the street, he seems in a state of total abstrac tion, unmindful of all that is going on around him, and solely occupied with his own work ing mind. You cannot help thinking that literature 'with him is not a mere profession or pursuit, but that it has almost grown a part of nimsell, as though historical pro blems or analytical criticism were a part of bis daily aud intellectual food.

He spoke of "Festus," and e ol its tame in America, ol, which tie seems to be very proud. In England it has only reached its third edition, while eight or nine have been published in the United States." 1 DSQL'lNCr. He is one of the smallest legged, smal lest bodied, and most attenuated etligirs of the. human form diviue, that one could find during a day's walk in a crowded city. And if one adds to this figure, clothes that are neither fashionably cut nor fastidiously ad justed, he will have a tolerable idea of De- (iuincy. But then bis brow, that pushes his obstructive hat to the back of his bead, and his light grey eyes, that do not seem to look out, but to be turned inward, sounding the depths of his imagination, and searching out the mysteries of the' most abstruse logic, are something that you would search a week to find a mate to, and then you will be disappointed. DeQuincy now resides at Laswade, a romantic rural village, once the residence of Sir Waller Scott, about seven miles from Edinburg, Scotland, where an affect. o i.ite daughter wsicbos over him, and where he is the wonder of the country people for miles around. ' LAMASTUfE. Lamartine yes, young ladies, positiveTy a prim lookiog man, with a long face; short gray hair, a slender figure, aod a suit of black. Put a pen behind his ear, and he would look like a "confidential clerk." Xtive tis face more character, and he would remind yoa of Henry Clay. He has a fine head, phrenologica'ly speaking large and round at the top, with a spacious forehead, and a scant allotment of cheek. Print is the word, though there is nothing In his ap pearance which is ever so remotely 'sug gestive "of the reman tic. He is not even Eale, and as for a tolling shirt collar, or a lyronic tie, he is evidently not the man to think of such things. Romance, in fact, is the artiele he lives by, and like other men, Kb phonsT-g 'cint- ti,. shop," at least when he sits for his portrait. - , ' ; ' :., ku.was. . ? a .t . ." 1 1 a 1 1 un the contrary, is a ouny leiiow. 111s large: red round cheeks, stand out till they seem to stretch the very skin that covers them, and it looks as smooth as a polished apple.
