EG YPT-THE LEWIS.

The happy effects Of the recent visit o
the semi.barbarious Prince, Ibrahim Pacha
to France and England, are already declar
ing themselves. The question is not now
about changing the uniform of the army
and introducing the European discipline and
tactics, but the great principles which lie
at the base OF European constitutional free.
dom are finding their way into despo,ic and
benighted Egypt, becoming the unwritten
rule of the sovereign, and destined to anne
liorate the condition Of the abject and mis-
cradle millions that swarm upon that fertile
| soil. As the first fruits Of the visit, and the
commencement Of the change letters from
| Cairo signalize two measures which Ibrahim
Pacha has lately adopted. One upon the
following occasion: .
"The great Rabbi Of the Jews being dead,
it was thought indispensable 10 render him
the honors due to his station, but which
might have been troubled by some fanatics.
The Jews determined 10 demand protection
from the Governor Of Cairo, Abba Pacha,
who promised it, but alterward, went back
OF hi, word. They then applied 10 lbrahim
Pacha, who was at that time sitting with
the Grand Council. He at once ordered
the deputation to be admitted, heard their
application, and replied thus: "Slnce paid
visit TO Europe am far from being salts
fled with myself. We have still much to
do TO place ourselves upon a level with that
country, but even 10 commence career OF
Improvement, perceive that their pro,ec
ton is accorded TO all religions without ex.
ception and shall not permit matters to be
otherwise in Egypt. All creeds must be
respected equally, and, in consequence, in.
stead OF giving few soldiers as an escort.
shall order out 5000 men to attend the fu.
neral, and my own carriage shall serve to
carry the coffin. AS for YOU said his roy
al hghness, addressing the Jewish deputa-
ton. fear not to be troubled in paying the
last respects TO the head Of your religion.
Go; and remember that Egypt shall always
be the country where all religious beliefs
shall be respected"
The other case is this: He, the mex. day
called together his Mamelukes and slaves,
and granted them their liberty, with the op-
ton Of remaining with him or seeking an
other way OF life. Up TO the present Time,
no person has left him, and all declare that
they will remain.-Charleston Cou, Ter.

ADDRESS TO CHILDREN.

You were made to learn. Be sure you
learn something every day. When you go
to bed at night. if you cannot think of
something new which you have learned
the day, spring up and find book, and get
an idea before you sleep. If you were to
stop eating. would not your bodies pine and
famish1 If you stop learning, your minds
will pine and famsh too. You all desire
that your bodies should thrive and grow
until you become as tall and large as your
fathers. and mothers, or other people,
You would not like to stop growing where
you are now--at three feet high, or -four
feet, or even at five. But if you do no,
feed your minds as well as your bodies
they will stop growing; and one of thu
poorest, meanest, most despicable things
have ever seen in the world, is little mine
in great body. Suppose there were ;
museum in your neighborhood, full of rare
and splendid curiosities. should you moi
like to 60 and see it, Would you not think
it almost unkind, if you were forbidden le
visit it! The creation is museum all full
and crowded with wonders, and beauties
and glories. One door, and one only i!
open, by which you enter this magniticen
Temple. 1t is the door of knowledge
The learned laborer, and learned peasant, o.
slave, is ever made welcome at this door
while the ignorant. though kings, are shu
out.

To THE GIRLs.-Habits of neatness,
cleanliness and order, are indispensable 10
female, if she has any regard 10 the COM
fort of others or of her own. The sex are
designed not only to extend ibe comforts of
domestic life, but to be its principal orna-
ments; an attention TO dress therefore is ne
cessary. How many females run into tho
error Of thinking that to dress finely is TO
dress well-when the two things are as diff
ferent as possible; for the one excites atten-
ton and the other avoids it, A lady who
knew this distinction, ordered cap from
the miIliner. How will you have il made
madam MAKE it" replied the lady, $50
that il will not excite a thought" This, to
me- was the best definition Of what dress
should be- that ever heard. Be. then. neat
and clearly in your dress, and borrow a
lesson of instruction from this lady.

New ROUTE TO OREGoN.--A new route
to the willamette has just been explored,
and portion OF the emigration OF the pres.
ent year have travelled that route to Oregon.
The new route follows the road to Caifor.
MIA about three hundred and twenty miles
from fort Hail, on Snake river, and enters
the territory OF Oregon by way of the Cla,
ment Lake, passes through the splendid val
legs of the Rogue and Umpqua rivers,
and enters the valley Of the willamette
near its southeastern extremity.
The emigrant will gain advantages OF
the greatest Importance by this route, the
distance is considerably shortened, and
grass and water more plenty. The dan
gerous crossings and sterile regions OF the
Snake and Columbia rivers are avoided as,
well as the> Cascade moun,ains-he may
reach his place of destination with his team
and property in time to build him cabin
and sowed grain before the rainy season.
This road has been explored and will be
opened at the expense Of the people OF
Oregon, and nothing whatever is demanded
OF the emigrant.
