there could be no failure, among them, of any
well directed effort in behalf of Emancipation
But our letters-the free confessions of some of
the best men-from this section--so calm, yet
so decided, SO clear as to the good to be gained
and so positive as to the determination of the
people to enjoy it-makes US certain Of success
in West Virginia. 81 have yet to meet one
STAKEHOLDER in my county," says an able man,
"who avows his opposition to emancipation;

it," eff the vote were taken to-day" afirms a
promising young Virgnian, "ninety out Of every

majority" writes mechanic-farmer, "a0ant ana

with slavery, West Virginia is preparing tc
heave it off, and, if she be dealt fairly by, three
years will not roll over our heads, without oul
hearing shout from the mountain land, that al
are FREE.
East Tennessee is quickening for anew birth
Quite number of her pious and patriotic citl
zens have resolved to cooperate, and the begin
ming of an organization is made. We know no
when it will move But if either Kentucky or
Virginia determine to agitate the question o
slavery within this year, then East Tennessee
will agitate it within the year. Her people arc
determined to follow suit. "Whenever we see
an earnest on the part of the Virginia or Ken

must act. Blessings upon the mountain land
There is hope and strength there, and redemp-

On this, the first morn of the new year, then
we greet our friends with joyous faith, and hearty

Children should be Kind,

You were made to be kind, says Horace Mann,
generous and magnanmous. If there is boy in the
school who has club foot, don't let him know that
you ever saw it. If there is poor boy with ragged
clothes, don't talk about rags when he is in hearing.
If there is lame boy assign him some part of the
game which does not require running Ifthere is a
hungry one, give him part of your dinner If there
is dull one, help him get his lesson If there is a
bright one, be not envious of him; forif one boy is
proud of his talents, and another is envious of them
there are two great wrongs and more talents than
before If larger or stronger boy has injured you
and is sorry for torgve himand request the teacher
not to punish him. All the school will show by
their countenances how much better it is to have q
great soul than great fist.

Be it therefore, by the Senate and House o
Representatives of the State of Georgia,
Resolved, That the government of the United
States has no control over the institution of sla-
very, and that in taking or attempting to take
any such control, it transcends the limits of it:

Be it further resolved by the authority afore-
said, That any territory acquired by the arms o.

whilst it so continues, it is the right of each cit

Much injury is done to children by scoding 1t
should be prime object with the teacher as well as
the parent to gain the affections of his children; and
frequent scolding renders this almost impossible 1t
alienates the hearts of young children. Depend upon
it they cannot love you as well after you have berated
them, as they did before. You may approach them
with rmness and decision; you may punish them with
severity adequate to the nature of their offences; and
they will feel the Justice Of your conduct and love you
Notwithstanding all. But they hate scoding 1t ex-

tory.
Resolved further by the authority aforesaid,
That it is the duty of every man, in every sec
ton of this confederacy, if the Union be dear
to him, to oppose the passage of any law or res
olution of congress by which territory acquired
may be subjected to any restriction against sla-
very.
Resolved by the authority aforesaid, That in
the opinion OF this general assembly, the people
of Georgia, at the ensuing presidential election,
should not and will not support any man for the
presidency or vice presidency who favors the
principles of the Wimot Provso.
And it is further resolved, That in the owner
ship of slaves we are not only exercising a hui
name, but constitutional and moral right
and that we allow no power under Heaven tc
dictate the tenure by which we shall be deprived
of our property in them.

Never say when told to do anything, "In min
ute," or "By-and-by," This leads to u bad habit,
which, if not overcome will prevent all confidence in
you as you grow up. You will then put off duties
you owe your neghbor in the same way, and lose his
confidence Many men lose the respect of their
noighbors, not so much because they mean to do
wrong, as through mere carelessness. "By-and-by,"
and Tomorrow" have ruined thousands robbed them
of their character and made them anything but bless
ings in a neighborhood Little confidence can be
placed in their word, not because they mean to tell
alschoods but because of their carclessness. Noob
legation is fulfilled when it should be. And it is
something SO in their own affairs. They lose days
and weeks because business is not attended to wher
it ought to be- tool is lost, because not promptly
put away when done with. Fulfil every promise
promptly. Put it not off an hour.

ChilGS Evening Hymn,

Chilfs Evening Hymn.
Sing praise to God in Heaven,
Our Father and our friend,
To him our grateful thanks be given,
His mercies have no end.
Sun, moon and stars above
The earth on which we stand;
And men and beasts that live and move
Were made by Gods command.
Keep us, o Lord, this night;
From danger, sin and sorrow;
And may we, if we see the light,
Be wise and good Tomorrow.
And when our body dies
And sleeps beneath the sod,
o may we from the grave arise,
10 live with thee, orr God.

And when in that chamber of death,

But the sweet, calm smile on the face,
Spoke of the spirits rest,

We hope to meet, to part no more.

A Domestic Picture.
BY OLIVER GOLDSMITH.

BY OLIVER GOLDSMITH
Blest be that spot, where cheerful guests retire
To pause from toll and trim their evening fire;
Blest tim; abode, where want and pain repair,
And every stranger finds ready chair;
Best be those feasts with simple plenty crowned,
Where all the ruddy family around
Laugh at the jests or pranks that never fail,
Or sigh with pity at some mournful tale;
Or press the bashful stranger to his food,
And learn the luxury of doing good
