SINeINe,-We find the following sensible
observations relative 10 singing among toe
young, in an eastern paper W
All children can learn 10 sing ifthey COM
mence in season rd5 not say all may
have tbe same sweei voice OF the nightiu-
gale-for some have naturally sweet, mild
and soft voices when they talk, while others
speak in loud, strong and masculine tones.
The same is true in regard TO singing
In Germany every child is taught TO use
its voice while young. In their schools all
join in singing, as regular exercise, as
they 'iLtend to study of geography, and in
churches the singing is not confined to the
choir, who sit apart from the others, perhaps
in the corner Of the house-but there is a
vast tide ofincense going forth to God from
every heart which has uierauce in this
language of the soul.
Children, sing sing with your whole
hearts /! David sang before the Lord, and it
is meet you should do the same; and al.
ways when angry feelings rise in your
breast curb and chsckThsm by singing sweet
and cheerful songs. 4, II,

THE BLOOM OF AGE-A good woman never
grows old. Years may pass over her head,
but if henevolence and virtue dwell in her
heart, she is as cheerful as when the spring
of life first opened 10 her view. When we
look upon good woman we nevef think OF
her age-she looks as charming as when
the rose of youth bloomed on her cheek.
That has not faded yet-it will never fade.
In her family she is the life and delight. In
her neighborhood, she is the friend and ben
efactor In the church he .deyout sgorship-
per and the exempEary Christian. Who
does not respet and love the woman who has
passed her days in acts of kindness and mer-
cy who has been the friend of man and
God whose whole life has been a scene oi
kindness and love, and devotion TO truth and
religion? She will always be fresh and bu.
oyant in spirits and active in humble deeds
of mercy and benevolsnce. If the young lady
desires 10 retain the bloom and beauty oi
youth let her love truth and virtue and 10
the close o life she will retain those feelings
which now make life appear garden Of
sweets ever fresh and new.

Old Elias Keyes, formerly first judge OF
Windsor county, VT, was strange compo-
sition of folly, and good sense, of natural,
srewdness and want Of cultivation. The
following sentence, it is said, was pronoun-
ced upon poor ragged fellow convicted of
stealing pair of boots from General Curtis,
man OF considerable wealth, in the town
of Windsor:
"Well," said the jndge, very gravely, be-
fore pronouncing sentence of court, underta-
king to read the following lecture, 'syou're a
fine fellow 10 be arraigned before court for
stealing. They say you are poor--no one

being poor, have the impudence to steal a
pair of boots! Nobody but rich people
have right to take snch thirgs without paying!
Then they say you are worthless--that is ev.
iden from the fact that no one has ever ask,

CONSENT pronounced you guilty before you

but, as the omnibus was minute or so com

that he admiringly placed the moist six
pence within his own lips, and took less

hand with its green init; and, receiving
the money, between thumb and finger. as

Mr.. PAINE, AND WHY HE WAS SHOT Art
will be remembered that some years ago
Mr.. Paine, the gentleman who has discov-
cred the drocess by which you may light
your pipe at pump, was much prosecuted
by Mexican emissaries. Ambuscades were
planted fer his destruction wherever he went;
and in short he was walking target, at
which Mexican assassins were continually
practising. Fortunately, their marksman-
ship was bad or, perhaps, in view of the
great light he was one day to shed upon the
world, he was providentaly rendered bullet
proof. The cause Of this blood thirsty cru
SADIE has never been satisfactorily explained
butwe have received information which, if
correct Furnishes a cluo to the mystery. II
is said that MIR. P. had then concealed about
his person all the details of his great plan

In the meantime we call upon the people

hours OF dusk and daylight. There is no
telling at what moment the ingenious erup-
tion may break out in every room of that
noble hotel. Let no editor make butt Of

him and his lights. 1t is our firm belief that
