SEDUoTroN.--A singular case of seduc-
ton was tried in Boston short time since,
A girl named Kiedie, had lived for several
months with young man, without opposi-
ton from her friends, when all at once her
father brought suit against him for Sc
duction under aggravated circumstances,
lying the damages at $4,000. The jury
gave him 81 900, and that was considered
quite sufficient to cover all losses.

A SOLEMN FACT.-It is not poverty SO
much as pretence, that harnesses ruined
man--ihe struggle between proud mind
and an empty purse-the keeping up
hollow show that must soon come TO an
end. Have the courage to appear poor,
and you dsarm poverty of its sharpest
sting,

The New York Aurora of the sth inst
says: "As we anticipated, the Miller camp
was crowded on Sunday, and the excite
ment was rising.
This is both funny and deplorable.
Funny to see how easily people are made
fools of--deplorable to watch the conse-
quences of their folly There are con-
siderable number of the disciples of this
Miller, now confined in lunatic asylums
and as the day fixed upon for the destruc-
ton of the world approaches, hundreds, no
doubt, will become insane from terror and
despair.
This is truly horrible. But what can
we do with the ignorant fanatics, who sci
themselves up as knowing more than san
gels of God, which are in Heavenl"

NEWSPAPERS.

The following article on the subject of
Newspapers and their advantages" was
published originally in the Long Island
Star some fifteen or twenty years ago. II
is so full of good sense, that we beg our
subscribers, if they have a neighbor able
to take paper, and does not, to lend him
this number of our paper to read. The
perusal of it by such men, may add some
fftv or hundred to our list, but we will en-
deavor to bear such an infection with be-
coming fortitude:
"A newspaper is school in family Of
children worth ten doHhrs year. Even
the most barren paper brings something
new. Children read or hear the contents.
become intelligent of the affairs of the
world. and acquire. useful knowledge Of
more importance to them in life than pre-
sent of fifty acres of land. Parents are
not aware of the UaSt-we say with conf
dence the vast importance of a newspaper
in family of children. We have made
the remark before and we repeat it-that,
take two families of children equally smart
ana DDln going W Tue same SCHOOL; let one
have the free use of a newspaper, and lei
the other be deprived of it, and it would
excite establishment TO mark the difference
between them Full one-half, and an impor
liant half of education, as it respects the
business of the world, and the ability tC
rise and make ones self respe ctable in it
is derived from newspapers. What paren
would not wish his children respectable?-
Who would be willing to have his neigh
boris children more intelligent than hi
own! and yet how trifing is the sum pa
per costs. 1t is even in these hard time
absolutely contemplate in amount, and nj
man ever felt il, except in its beneficial
consequences, who paid the subscription
regularly once year.
Truly, we should suppose that if a youns
man went counting, and his sweethear
should find out that he read no newspaper
would, if she thought much of herself
send him away, as one uniformed Of hi
political rights-ignorant of a THOUSAND
things which every young American ough
to know, and therefore unfit TO be the hus
band of an intelligent girl"
