A Human Prodigy.

A strange freak of ofna'ure was shown
to US few days since, by gentleman,
who has in charge negro child, be,
tween three and four years of age, o.
the male species. II is ofthe blackest
hue, almost, except in the parts which
render it a prodigy. Upon the fore
head is white sprt, nearly as large as
the palm OF the hand, which runs up on
to the head which is covered by a
lock Of hair, as white and as soft,
as the finest carded. wool. The eye
brows are also white. The arms,
above the elbows, are nearly entirely
white, as are also the legs above
The knees, and the calf of each leg.
Nearly It's entire body is likewise white;
and the fair portions Of this human curl
osity are as smooth, soft and delicate
as lady's, and, we were told, is as
readily burned by an exposure TO the
sun. Tt boy was born in Johnston
county, and its parents are both real
black negroes.-Raieigh Register.

~ Capt. G. H. Tobrn, already
well known as a humorist, in one of his
late letters from Mexico gives the fol-
lowing diverting specimen OF conscien-
tiousness:
The Mississippians have the credit of
being the steadesl and most exemplary
regiment in the service. At one of the
late meetings of then steetotal society.
many Of the members delivered them
selves OF their experiences. One Of the
individuals wound up by saying, "You
can't consave, jintlemen. what divIl

Happy Home.

In happy home there will be no
fault-fnding; overbearing spirit-,here
will be. no peevishness or fretfulncss
tUnkinhness will not dwell in the hearts
nor be found on the tongue. O! the
tears, the sighs, the wasting life, and
health, and strength and time-of al
that is most to be desired in q happy
home, occasioned merely by unkinc
words! The celebrated Mr. Wesley
remarks to this effect, namely, that +, ct
ting and scolding seem like tearing fest
from the bones, and we have no more
right 10 be guilty Of this sin than we have
70 curse and swear and steal s
In perfect happy home, all seliish>
ness will be removed. Even as "Christ
pleased not himself" so the members OF
a happy home will not seek first to
please themselves, but will seek 10 please
each other. S
Cheerfulness is another ingredient in
happy home. How much does a
sweet smile, emanating from a heart
fraught with love and kindness, contrib
ute to render home happy. How
attracting, how soothing is that sweet
cheerfulness that is borne on the coun.
tenance OF a vile or moiherl How do
tie parent and child, the brother and
sister, The mistress and the servant
dwell with delight on those Cheerful
looks, those confidlng smiles that beam
from, the eye. and burst from the in.
mos, soul Of those who are near and
dearI How il hastens the return oI
the father, lightens the cares OF the
mother, renders it more easy for the
youth to resist temptation! and draw by
Che cords OF affection, how it induces
them with loving hearts, TO return tc
ihe. parental root! 0 that parents would
lay this subject to heart-that by unit
ring effort tl.ey would 50 far rendel
home moro happy. that their children
and domesiics shall not seek COR happi.
ness in forbidden paths. - -.

A Riddle.

There isanow in this place one-a
prophet, perhaps, we might call him
whose, generation runs back farther
than. that feAdam; one Of his. ancestors
was with Noah the ark; another with
Chris s,ust stbefotc he was crucifed. He
knew not his lather, and was never
nursed by his mother; he goes barefoot
ed like Hiar; he wears no hat, and his
Goa, isnet dyed, spun, knit, or woven;
i, is neither silk, hair, linen, nor wool,
vet Of very fine texture and gloss. He
walks boldly in the face of his enemies,
| without gun, sword, Or cane, yet, with
such weapon as man never had where
with to defend himself from his foes.
He is often abused by wicked men for
their diversion, but takes il patiently.
| He LET'S all men enjoy their religion
The Protestants are his greatest enl'
mics, but the Papis,s occasionally use
him mercifulIy.. AT certain times his
voice is heald by all nations; he declares
the day of the Lord is at hand; as he
prophesies the doors fly open and his
sayings are found true. He takes bu
little rest and is admired by all for his
vigilance. He does not sleep on bed ol
in chair, but is always standing o.
crouched; neither does he put off hi
clothes. His nature does not incline
him TO eat flesh, and lie drinks. nothing
stronger than water. Though some
times apparently proud. he cares no
for the pomp and vanities OF this wick
ed world. He denies no article of tn
Christian faith. His voice IS shrll an
piercing, and, on one occasion, it wa
so convincing, 10 a certain man, that
