GIVE YOUR CHILD A NEwspApER.-A child
beginning to read becomes delighted with a
newspaper, because he reads of names andthlnqs
which are very familiar, and heswill make pro.
gress accordingly. AnewspapJ in one year is
worth a quarters schooling to a child, and every
father must consider that substantial information
is connected with advancement. The mother Of
a family, being one ofits heads, and having a
more immediate charge of children, should her.
self be instructed. A mind occupied becomes
fortified against the ills Of life, and is braced for
any emergency. Children amused by reading or
study, are Of course more considerate and more
easily governed. How many thonghtless young
men have spent their earnings in a tavern or
grog shop, who ought 70 have been reading /!
How many parents, who have not spent twenty
dollars for books for their fanatics, would have
given thousands to reclaim a son, Or a daughter

c POETRY.


ALLY CARTER-Sister 70 Lefeaaat Carriers
only Son.
Near Springfield mountain there did dwell
A lovely damsel, known full web.
Leftenant Carriers only gal,
Her fathers joy-and named Sail.
0ne day this damsel tript it quick
Down to a stream to berries pick.
She hadn't pick'd but two or three,
When her foot slipt, and in went she.
And when into the stream she fell,
She uttered an awful yell.
And then sank down beneath the wave,
Because no hand was near to save.
Her lover saw the horrid sight,
And to her ran with all his might
But when from out the stream he took her.
All signs OF life had quite iorsook her.
He roll'd and roil'd her all about,
And quickly brought the water out.
But when he found her soul had fled,
tic wrung his hands and cri-i-ed.
And then her lifcless form he bore
s Unto her anxious mothers door.
Saying, Mrs. Carter, here you sec,
All that is left of your Sall-e!
The awful news shot through her brain,
And down she fell, nor spoke again.
The lover he some pizen took,
And upward gave an earnest look.
And told his ghost to follow arter
His own dear Sail and Mrs. Carter. Spoons.

BIRNERrsM. The New York Tribune fur.
nlsles some curious statistics derived from the
Presidential vote in New York, for the purpose
demonstrating that the Birney vote secured the
election OF Mr.. Polk. In twenty nine counties,
IN which Harrison's majority was l7,424, that of
Clay was but ,221, while the Birney vote in.
creased from 1851 to 1929. In twenty.nine
other counties, injwhich Van Buren, had 3,o4e.
Polk obtained CESS. and the Birpey vote aug.
rnentod from SAC TO 2,334. Tins Il viii be seen,
observes the Tribune that in tho halfof tho
STATE where birneyisH prevailed, tho Wings
203 votes Or 1000 mdae than the Birney gain:
while N the other half the entire wing loss was
but 3,6a2, Or 1000 more than tho Birncy
gain, and this losss includes that by fraud In this
city. Haathe loss in Birney counties been no
greateri IN proportion than IN the others, Henry
Clay would have been chosen President by a
majority Of over 5000 of the votes Of The people
ofNew York.

4 SILENT CoUPLE.-In the parish of Duloe,
Cornwall, there are now living a man and his
wife, who have not spoken for eight years.
They often go to work together, sleep in ono
bed, take their meals from the same table, and
show not the slightest anger towards each other.
The only reason to be assigned for their obsti
nate and protracted silence is, that each is too
proud to speak lret.

remarks on the American Press:
In no other country in the world, perhaps, is
the newspaper press so powerful an engine, as
IN the United States. Nowhere else is it SO
omnipotent in its action, SO omnipresent in its
influence. 1t speakst to every one,-making it.
sell telt IN every public department, and at the
aame time exerting a tremendous influence over
private life. fall its energies emanated from
proper prlnciples-were the zeal which directs
us efforts a zeal for mans intellectual and moral
good-the press in America. from its increased
and increasing power, might in a very short
time undo much ofthe mischief which its vicious
direction has entailed ON the country.
