Thk Southern Ladies' Companion has some ex cellent observations on this subject, which we com mend heartily to the attention of mothers: "As girls are. usually at school from an early period till within a short time of their marriage, -it is impor tant that they acquire habits of industry, neatness and economy during the time they are at school, and especially in the instances where they are from home at a boarding school. How are these impor tant lessens usually taught in our female colleges ! Are girls taught to make, or even to mend, and carefully look after their own clothing ? Are they taught habits of neatness ? Or rather, is not the whole matter of keeping their apparel, their rooms, and other matters, in neat order, left entirely to servants or other persons' ? As to economy, girls have a poor opportunity" at many of our schools, to learn that the word has any practical use. The daughters of wealthy parents arc indulged by their parents and teachers in expensive apparel, jewelry and the rest: Tl ces, not having the courage to be placed iB a lower caste, by living within their means, strain every nerve to keep pace with the wealthy in a career of extravagance. . We have known the heads of fe male schools, instead of restraining this tendency to extravagance, to encourage it. An examination, or som other pageant, is to come off; and, for the YOUTHS' DEPARTMENT. I WILL NOT EISE jTILL YOU FORGIVE ME. King Jamea II. one day lost some important pa per relating to a mirriage that he was trying to bring about, between ne of his sons and a princess of Spain.

What was the surprise of oir worthy postmaster, Wni. N. Friend, E-q., on discovering, among the contents of his letter box one morning lately, a missive di rected to Jesus Christ!" Opening it, he read with a noble ter and composition, with the white of eggs, (albu men,) the curd o milk, (casein,) with the gluten of wheat, and with certain similar substances which exist in beans, peas, barley, oats, potatoes, turnips, cabbage, and, in fact, in almost every vegetable es culent, in greater or less proportion. All these substances contain nearly the same per centage of ! nitrogen, and are distinguished by the name of protein compounds. .''It is now ascertained, that when vegetable food is introduced iuto the stomach, the gluten, al bumen, iSjrc, which it contains, is dissolved and ex tracted from it, conveved from the stomach into the blood, and by the circulating blood carried to those parts of the body in which, owing to the natural waste, or to the demands of animal growth, the muscles require to be renewed or enlarged. Tlie power of a vegetable substance, therefore, to increase or sustain the muscles of an animal, de- j pends materially on the quantity of these protein j compounds it contains or on the quantity of ni I trogen. by which that of" the protein compounds is j identicate'd and measured. It must be of import ! a nee, therefore, to know how much of these com--pou-nds, or in other words, how much nitrogen ditlerent vegetable productions usually contain ; how far the usual proportion is subject to varia ! tion and how far it is within the reach of human j control. Such questions have obviouiy an inti- mate relation to the actual money value of food in : the rearing and nourishment of animals; and a ; tew illustrations will show how chemistry has re cently occupied itself in solving them. i "It ;s the ohiect of chemical research not mere- h'-to explain known fact, but to remove misappre hensions atid correct erroneous opinions. The re . cent determinations of the'proportiori of nitrogen , contained in wheat have served both these purpo ; .-es. Thus it was asserted and believed, that the I wheat of warm climates always contained more ni- trogen, and consequently was more nutritive j of higlier money value, than the wheat of our. 1 temperate countries.

We clip from an exchange the following; account of the relative points of cattle from the Mark Lane Express. They were written in regard to j the ani mals exhibited at the show in Gloucester, England : The Hereford cattle were represented in the first prize by a bail of Lord Berwick's, who if known as a winner for fat cattle. The"present case show ed an animal of very superior .merit probably the best beast in the show-yard. The width aiid depth of carcass, with the length of body, were very su perior, and the animal showed an activity that does not always attend such heavy carcasses. No more superior animal of the breed has ever come under our notice. The shoulder was unc mmotilv well covered, which prlduees an uniformity of i shape ai on the whoie fame. It is a ipoint of i great importance, and the Hereford beasts ex-el j iu it. A sloping shoulder joining the Heck and ! ribs, admits the covering of fiesh, and removes the heavy objection "of bare bones. The present .ani mal was will provided in tins point.

Chemistry has i here stepped in ; and by her analysis of both, has : proved not only that the oat is richer in muscle j forming matter than the grain of wheat, but that oat. meal is, in all respects, a better form of nour j ishment than the finest wheaten 'flour. j ' But what is more, chemistry has brought us 1 acquainted with the value of parts of the grain I formerly considered almost as waste. Thn hcV u uoik or bran of wheat, for example, though given at times to pigs, to miller's horses, and other cattle, was usually thought to possess but little nutritive virtue in itself. Analysis, however, has shown it to.be ac ually richer in muscular matter than the white interior of the grain. Thus the c.use of its answering so well as food for cattle is explained; and it is shown that its use in bread (whole-meal bread) must be no less nutritive than economical. "The. true value of o her kinds of-food is also established by these inquiries.

This superiority advances -to the forepart of the middle ribs; and there ceases, and other animals take the lead. This superiority was never more conspicuous than in the Hereford first prize bull of this 3-ear. The Devon cattle excelled in two bulls, which well supported the reputation of the breeders. The first prize was the smaller beast, but probably un equalled even in the symmetry of the handsomest of all British cattle. The straight carcass from the shoulder to the rump, along the back anid both sides, formed a point of preeminence not at all equalled in the show-yard, and probably never surpassed by animals of the Devon breed. No cattle in Britain exhibit the same squareness, of car cass as the Devon ; especially along the.sideV, from the point of the shoulder to the extremitv of the mid-thigh.
