/ by some of the most influential publications
in the Union; but the saying will apply to
some, whose minds have received The en-
tightening influences Of education, Men love
darkness rathcrthan ligLt, because their deeds
are evil In conclusion let it be repeated,
that there are many social evils which should,
and we hope tcW be remedjed but fthis can
not be done without discardng the Book Of
Inspiration, INTRODUCING IN tsstead code Of
morals not taught therein, we will calmly

FISHES tanned BY A CmLD. In quar-
ter Of the town..of bingham, known as Rocky
nook, there is pond where little girl not
six wears old, who resides near the bank, has
tanned the fishes to a remarkable degree. She
began by throwing crumbs into the water.
Gradually the fishes learned to distinguish her
footsteps, and dartcd to the edge whenever
she approached; ami now they will actually
feed out Of her hand, and allow her to touch
their scaly sides A venerable turtle is among
her regular pensioners. The control of Van
Amburgh over his wild beasts is not more
surprising than that which this little girl has
attained over her linny p!aymates. Visiter,
have been attracted from distance of sever

al miles to the spectacle she exhibits. The
fishes will have nothing to do with any one
but their tried friend. They will trust to no
one else, let him come with provender ever
so tempting. Even fishes are not so cold
blooled bus they will recognise the law of
kindness, and yield to its all embracing pow

STEAMBOAT RACING Go ahead ! is the
motto Of the Yankees, Every body in this
country struggles to be in advance of his
ncighbor, and whether the deuce takes the
hindmost,' or whatever else becomes Of them,
nobody cares. In spite of preaching, people
aCW take the fastest boat and the fastest train.
1t matters not how thin-timbcred and rickety
the one, or how crazy and jolting the road
the other runs oyer-Bcat, the Yankees must
-ship-wrecks, blow-ups, and snake head
tear-ups, &c. Notwithstanding Now and
then disaster happens-a dozen, thirty, fif
ty lives are lost. The people stop, and scold
for moment-the press thunders-every
body is virtuousl y indignant then things
move on as before
An amusing illustration of this popularity
in the Yankee character fell under our eye
in the summer of AS, when the Kenncbec and
John Marshall were running in hot opposition
to each other An old, venerable, but rather
vlnegarish-looking gentleman, who had tied
up at Armstrong; previously to going in one
OF the boats to Boston, was declaiuing most
Ifurlousy against racing. He cursed
the people 'all up in heap because they
did not trown upon the practice; and blew uI-
the editors for not blowing up the boats fo1
thus exposing themselves to blow-ups, in q
style so terrific, that an ordinary boiler ex-
plosion would be no comparison. For hi.
part, he said, instead OF being so insanely
anxious to get ahead, he invariably made il
a rule, in racing times, to patronize the slow.

met our aged friend on the wharf in this city
about to re-embark for the timber State. Ar
agent ofthe John Marshall had taken him b,
the button aside, and was zealously urgin!
him to take passage in that steamer. A va

THE HOPEFUL HEART.

Tell me MOI in notes of sorrow
All my life will cheerless be-
For the heart dotes on the morrow
Dreams that He8 it will be free.
Tell me not that dark and dreary
Is the lot of all at best
For Hope whispers to the weary,
'Ttou 'rihfad placc cfreSt.'
What is life if We responding
Wander through its varied ways?
What is life if all its pleasures
Are counted i'll departed days?
Tell me not that sorrow fingers
Only for mNturer years.
Tell me not that grief untasted
Yet will dry the fount of tears.
As away the hours arc flowing,
Oh, let not our hearts be sac, =
Hope for future bliss bestowing,
Charms to make the present glad.
Let us grasp each passing pleasure
Dreaming not Of thrcat'ning wo,-
Ifs filed joys crystal measure
