Sensibilify of the Deaf aud Dumb.-Visting the Deaf and Dumb Asylum in the city of New York, a few days since, met with instance of ready and sensitive appreciation of ideas conveyed by signs, that delighted me more than any exhibition of the deaf mutes that had ever seen. Quite number Of ladies and gentlemen present during the exami nation of class that had been under a of n struction but a single year. The class was composed of males and females of various ages; including two or three young ladies of about seventeen, of prepOs sessing appearance; their intelligent, happy faces rendering it difficult to believe that the of glad ness had never broken in upon the silence of their souls.

 A young man, one of thh pupils, was on the floor, and after having giving exhibition, by signs, of va rious emotions, que, fear, hatred, admiration, he was desired by of the company to illustrate tope As he proceeded to express by gestcuatons the man ner of one who wished to make himself agreeable to female friend, which he did with gracefulness and skill, turned to look at one of the young ladies in the class, watch the effect of the exhibition upon her mind. As turned, caught her eye. She was evidently alive to the sentiments of the exhibition Abashed at being detected in her conscious enjoy ment of the thought, she blshed deeply, and quickly soved her seat, so as to be no longer sight In the expression of her sweet face, in the delicate blush that mantled her cheek, in the half roguish but hap py smile that played her lips, and in the removal of her seat if she ashaHleI to be detected in her confessed enjoyment of such scene, there was all the evidence of the perfect conception of the idea, and the proper appreciation of the delicacy of mind becoming young and lovely girl that could have mark ed the department of the most refined of her sex, whom all the inlets of intelligence were free.

 Call it weakness or foolishness to be pesised with such an exhibition of the power of the deaf and dumb to enter into the velcst and tenderest emotions of the human heart but was ilst .o weak and foolish that as this tmid girl stole out of my sight, mist gathered over my eyes, and found them filling with tears. What would not have given for the power to pour upon her hearing ear the sound of voice of love- and then to unoose her tongue and listen the music that would come hack, when the chord of her hearts harp touched. It may be that the loss of the outward (and, may say, grosser,) senses is more than made up by the exquisite sensbiliiy of that soul that anticipates and exceeds the expression of sounds; that takes impress deep and precious and pure from the iantest geam of thought that kindIes in the eye, plays the face of friend; and thus in the still, o! how s chambers of That mute spirit there must be bliss that feel.- TN.
