EDMUND LAFAYETTE.-The N. Y. Tribune
says that Mr.. Edmund Lafayette, who came
passenger in the Atlantic, is grandson of
Gen. Lafayette and of the Count de Tracey.
He, his brothers Oscar and his father, Geo. w.
Lafayette, were at the same time Republican
members Of the Chamber of Deputies. Mr..
Lafayette has gone on visit to the State Agri-
cultural Fair and Exhibition at Albany
He was met also, on his arrival, by an antici-
patory invitation from Massachusetts Charita-
BILE Mechanics Association, to visit their great
Tsiennial Exhibition of American Manufactures
at Boston, to commence on the 18th inst and
continue for two weeks. ~
Mr.. Ferdinand Lasteyrie, who came passen-
ger in the same steamer, is at present member
of the National Assembly. He is accompani-
ed by his wife, an accomplished American lady,
niece of Gov. Seabrook, of South Carolina, one
Of the most distinguished families in the South.
They are at the New York Hotel.

Hints to Overseers.

Mr.. EDITOR Some overseers think If they
keep a to!erably clean crop they are doing well;
the condition of the mules, horses, fences, gates,
farming tools, horse lots and stables, and stock
Of all kinds, are left to shift for themselves, and
are not taken into consideration. Overseers, if
they do their duty, will have mules and horses
we'll attended to-fed regularly with given
amount, salted once week, and rubbed and
curried the stables and lots will also be kept
clean, and the manure taken care Of. Mules
and horses will not fail to show their keeping.
When once the hip bones of mules "stick out"
no matter how much they have to plow, (for
any sound horse or mule, if taken care of, can
pillow as much as any hand, without injury,)
you may put it down at once that they are Ell
ther irregularly and badly fed, or otherwise
grossly neglected.
Overseers are also deficient, even if they at
tend 10 mules and horses, keep clean crops,
and good gates and fences, and do not attend
to other stock on the plantation.
Again, if overseers neglect to enforce the
rules Of morality on the plantation, they are in
the highest degree unfit for their station
This may be obnoxious to some-I am sorry to
say it, even employers-but trust the time
may come when morality and virtue shall be
looked upon as an essential qualification for any
lawful ayocation. Overseers, toe, who are ''dir-
ty dogs" themselves, must not expect the ne
groes under their charge to be any thing else.
If we would raise the standard of our pro-
fession, let US act uprightly, and attend to our
business closely, and be paid for our trouble.

5. A REPRESENTATIVE GovERNmENr.-When
Dr. Cooper was President of South Carolina
College, he was one Of the best natured old
gentleman that ever lectured to mischieyous
boys On one occasion, when he entered the
lecture-room, he found the class all seated with
most unwonted punctuality, and looking won
drous grave. Mischief it was evident, was the
cause, and it was apparent that they were pre-
pared for the burst Of laughter as the old doctor
waddled along up to the professors chair there
sat an old he-goat, bolt upright, lashed in the
chair. But they were disappointed Of their
fun, for instead of getting angry and storming
at them, he mildly remarked:
All young gentleman! quite republican / see,
in your tendencies; found representative gov
ernment- elevated one of your number to the
char, ha! Well, well, it is all right dare
say the present incumbent can fill it as well as
any Of you. Yon may listen to his lecture to-
day. Good bye! Don't feel sheepish about it.
And away he went without leaving single
smile behind him. .'#5 s"

A WocD TO THE LITTLE GlELs-Hov to be
Loued.-Who is loveys 1t is the little girl who
drops sweet WORDS kind remarks, and pleasant
smiles, as she passes along--who has kind
word Of sympathy for every girl or boy she
meets in touble and kind hand 10 help her
compa Mons out of Difficult who never scolds,
eonends, nor teazes her mates, nor seeks in any
other way TO diminish, but always TO inc, ease
their happiness. Would it not please you to
pick string ofpea,ls, drops of gold, diamonds.
and precious stones as you pass along The street!
But those are the true pearls and precious stones
which can never be lost Take The hand of The
friendless Smile on the sad and detected. SYM
pathise with those in trouble. Strive everywhere
to diffuse around you sunshine and Joy.
If you do this, you will be sure to be loved.
Dr.. Doddrige one day asked his little girl why
it was that every body loved her. Il know not, "
she replied, 'unless it be that love every bo-
dy." This is The true secret of being loved.''
"He that hath friends says Solomon, ssmust
show himself friendly" Love begets love- If
you love others, they cannot help loving you.
So then, do not put scowl, and i,etfuy CON-
plain that nobody loves you, or that such or
such one does not Ike you. If Fno!,odv loves
you, it is your own fault. Either you do not
make yourself lovely by sweet, winnilg tenn
per, and kind winning way, or you do not
love those of whom you complain.

CLERICAL ANEcDorE.-aEn penshong," as
Mr.. Wags'af would say, writes a new contri-

number Of the Knickerbocker some anecdotes
Of preacher, which reminded me of a like
character way down East in the State of Maine
On one occasion he was endeavoring to give his
congregation specific idea of the magnitude
Of Noah's ark. He proceeded TO tell them how
many animals went in thereat, beginning with
the smallest kind, and going up throug the
various gradations Of size to tbe elephants hen
raising his voice TO the highest piich he exclaim-
ed: Yes my hearers, and The gre-a-eat wha-a-
a-les went in, bless the Lord and there was
room enough for all on'emr On ano1her occa-
sion he took his text from Revelations, SIKH
chapter and fifth verse, And beheld, and 10!
q black horse and he that sat on him had pair
of balances in his hand Unhappily, in reading
the text, he mistook balances for bellowses, and
went on 70 describe what kind Of bellowses
they were. these bellowses,' said he, wasn't
the bellowses that the house wife blows the fire
with; nj 'ither was they like Them which black
