children there are lew things dislike so much
as miniature beau, or belle. But the habit \of'
good manners by no means implies affectaton or
restraint. 1t is quite as easy to say, "Please
give me piece of pie'' as to say, 81 want
piece of pie" The idea that constant politeness
would render social lite too stiff and restrained,
springs from false estimate OF otpoliteness. True
politeness is perfect ease and freedom. 1t sim
ply consists in treating others just as you would
love TO be treated youself. A person who acts
from this principle will always be said to have
"sweet pretty ways with her." 1t is OF some
consequence that your daughter should know how
to enter and leave room gracefully; but 1t is
OF prodigiously more consequence that she should
be in the habit of avoiding whatever is disgust
ing or offensive to others, and of always prefer
ing their pleasures to her own. If she has the
last, very little intercourse with the world will
teach her the first.

SONG OF STEAM.

The following fine poem, by Geo. w Cutler, of Gov.
ngon KY, Blackwood has pronounced "the bes, lyr>
c of the century"
When saw an army upon The land,
navy upon the seas,
Creeping along snail like band
Or waiting wayward breeze;
When saw The peasant family reel
With the toll which he ia nty bore
AS he turned al the hardy wheel,
Or uggtd at the wearly oar
When measured the painting coursers speed;
The fight OF the carrier dove
As they bore law king decreed,
Or the lines of impatient love;
could not but think how the world would feel
AS these were oulstrippd afar,
"nen should be bound to the rushing keel,
Or chained to the flying car
Ha ha ha! They found me at last;
And they invited me forth at length;
And rushed 10 my throne with thunder blast.
Aud laughed in my iron strength
On I! then you saw wondTous change
On The earth and ocean wide
Where now my fiery armies range,
Nor wait for wind or tide.

And the Orient hoods divne.

In The darksome depth of the falhomless mine.

Where the rocks ne'er saw the suns decline
Or the dawn OF the glorious day;

From the hidden caves below
And make the fountains granite cup
With chrystal gush o'eraow.

GREAT ROBBERY. One OF the most daring
and extensive robberIes we have lately heard of,
was committed at New Orleans, about O'Clock
Saturday morning, April 7th, at the commercial
house oil Thos. Bailey Blanchard & Co. The
house transacts the business of several wealthy
people, including Madame De Ponalba, and
Mr.. Blanchard was in the habit of keeping mon.
eys, notes, &c., to large amount in ssbank
box" which he deposited in bank. For soIne
business purpose Mr.. Blanchard sent to the bank
for the box about the time above mentioned, and
whenit was brought in by young man. a neph.
ew OF Mr.. Blanchard, il was by him placed upon
the counter. The young at that moment
had occasion TO step outside the door, and the
box was not observed by Mr.. Blanchard I'm
medIately after the young man stepped out, three
meH entered the store, aud two OF them stepping
back to Mr.. Blanchard, asked him about some
brandy, stating that they wished to purchase
constable quantity The two men engaged the
attention OF Mr.. b. in sampling brandy, while
the third, who remained behind is supposed TO
have walked of with the box The two custom.
ers soon came TO the conclusion that the brandy
would not suit them, and they went away When
the young man came into the store again he was
asked by Mr.. B. about the box, and the fact of
the enormous loss then came ont. The robbers
must, we think have seen the box carried TO and
from the bank on previous occasions, and watch.
ed its entrance into the store on this OCCASION.
1t contained in gold and silver, bank notes, notes
OF hand, checks, drafts, &c., over $300, 900. AL
together this is one of the most daring robberies
ever committed in our city, and considering the
time of day when it took place, IL is almost
miracle that the scoundrels got off unnohced -
