EDUCATION,

Every body should have his head,
his heart and his hand educated. Let
this truth never be forgotten. By the
proper education of the head he will be
taught what is good, and what is fool
i>h-what is hight and what is wrong.
By the proper education of the heart,
he will be enabled to supply his wants,
TO add to his comforts. and TO assist
those around him. The highest OBJ
jvcts of a good education are 10 rever-
ence and obey God, and to love and
serve mankind; every thing that helps
as in attaining these objects is of great
value, and every thing that binders us
comparatively worthless. When wis
dom reigns in the head and love in the
heart, the hand is ever ready to do
good; order and peace smile around
and sin and sorrow are almost UNI
known

SIMPLE METHOD OF ri1rERISc.

The waters of the Wangho and
Yang-tse-kiang in China are highly
surcharge,l with mud, the former con-
tanning one-sevcnteenth part, and the
latter one ninety-six,h Of earth. This
renders them both unpleasant and un-
wholesome to drink. Cunningham,
the writer, informs us that the Chinese
have adopted very simple remedy for
this evil, which it behooves any one
who may chanceto visit muddystreams
TO remember. Into about quart OF
water they throw small pinch of al
uln, leaving it to stand a few minutes;
II becomes as crystal, considerable
!sedimentheing found at the BOTTOM
Not even the poorest fisherman but is
always provided with a small portion
ltofth's necessary purpose. ~

INFLUENCE.

Every body can exetthn Influence,
no matter how poor, i!liaA'e, orteeble
in body, he may be. One idea advan-
ced by an humble individual, may
bless ten thousand souls. One act
may save from premature, death and
early decay, hundreds and thousands.
A good example may influence scores
and tens of scores. Say not you can
do no good-exest no influence
What did no. Luther, and a Calvin
accomplish "a Columbus, a Wash
ington, and a franklin !, The Diary
mans Daughter by, Leigh Richmond,
has left good impression on the mind
of millions. A newspaper paragraph,
sometimes has SO often been printed
and read, that thousands have felt its
influence paragraph written perhaps
by an humble mechanic. An Oberlin,
by his kindness and unobtrusive pie
ty, brought hundreds to feel and ac-
knowledge the truth. Have you no
influence : Can you do no good in
the world? Is there no field in which
you can labor A little conversation
IA word--a good life even, may be
instrumental Of large amount of
good.
Didyou ever see the effects of bad
youth in single neighborhood' He
was profane it may be, and in a few
weeks he had learned dozen to take
the name of God in vain. They in
turn taught others the disgusting hab-
IT, and there is no end to The evil pro-
duced by single vicious youth.
Why do we have so many vices in
our midst? The bad example of
others. One learns another, and he a
second, and SO on through neighbor-
hoods and cities.
How important then that your infu-
ence be exered on the side of truth
and v;ltue. You can do immense
good or an inca'culabie injury; which
will you do? viii it not be more
pleasant a. the close life, that you
havenotli lived in vain? Now ,hen,s to
i, that you do good and not evil-so
will your life be pleasant and your last
end peaceful and happy.

SENATE.
Friday, January 8, 1876.


On motion of Mr.. Wallace, the bill
divorcing John J. Campbell from his
wife Ann Maria, was taken up.
! Mr.. Baptist objected to the facility
with which divorces are now granted,
compared with the former action Of this
body, and argued that more deIIbera-
ton oughr to be used.
Mr.. Thompson of A. agreed with B.
in the necessity of caution, and called
for the reading Of the papers in the
case.
Mr.. Witcher was opposed to the bill;
and as there already were many such
bills here, and might be others before
the close of the session, he thought it
right TO lay this bill on the table till all
the rest were ready to be acted on.
Mr.. Newman was opposed to laying
the bill on the table; thought the case
was strong one, and ought TO be de-
cided on Its own merits.
Mr.. Stringer was also in favor of the
passage of the BILL He regarded mar
riage as ordained by God-but, when
entered into,it is strictly conventional
agreement between the parties, and can
be therefore dissolved for good cause.

WHAT Is SOLITUDE,
BY C. F. HOFFMAN

Bye. F. HOFFMAN
Not in the shadowy wood,
Not in the crag hung glen,
Not where the echoes brood
In caves untold by men;
Not by the bleak sea shore,
Where barren surges break;
Not on the mountain hoar,
Not by the breezeless lake;
Not on the desert plain,
Where man hath never stood,
Whether on isle or main
Not there is Solitude!
Birds are in woodland bowers;
Voices in lonely eeRs;
) Streams to the listening hours
Talk in earlh's secret cells;
Over the grayribo'd sand
Breathe Oceans frothy lips;
Over the still lakes strand
The wild flower toward it dips,
Pluming the mountains crest
81 Life losses in lis pines,
Coursing the deserts breast
Life in The steed's name shines.
Leave-if thou woul9st be lonely
Leave Nature for the crowd;
Seek there for one-one only,
~ With kindred mind endow'd!
There-as with Nature erst
Closely thou wouldst commune
The deep-sonl music nursed
~ In either heart, attune
Heart-wearied thou wilt own,
"a vainIy that phantom wooed,
That thou AZ last hast known.
{. Wbasjs true Solituds!' @

u
lion among the Haytiens.--By the
arrival of the schooner Tioga, Captain
Collins, from Aux Cages, whence she
sailed on the 9th ult., we learn that az
fairs were becoming more quiet and
settled. A few days before the Tioga
sailed the greatestexcitement prevailed,
and strong fears were entertained that
band Of insurgents would attack the
town, and many of the inhabitants
had their movable property deposited
on board the shipping port, ready to
make their escape in the result Of a
successful attack on the part Of the in
surgents.
This outbreak seems not to have
been the result Of any dissatisfaction
with the present Government, but mere
ly for the sake of pluoder and the thirst
for blood. Several engagements are
said to have taken place recently be-
tween the insurgents and government
troops, which resulted greatly in favor
of the latter, though the statements
were SO contradictory that it is impos.
sible to ascertain with any considera
bic degree of correctness the loss on
either side. The insurgents, however.
seemed to be continually retreating
before the Government troops, and the
report stated they were advancing on
Jeremie-in consequence of which
troops were dispatched from Aux Ca
yes 10 that quarter. 1t was thought
that in short time the vicinity of Aux
Cages would be as quiet as any other
part Of the Island; but the whole coun.
try is in such a state of rebellion that
it must be long time yet before peace
and quietness will be entirely restored.
The Eastern part Of the Island was
quiet by the last accounts. President
Richie was expected TO arrive at Aux
Cages in a few weeks from Port au
Prince.
