To SOUTHERN TRAvELLERs-NEw ROUTE. The
pleasantest, most comfortable, and altogether the
best route between this city and the South, is via
Baltimore, down the Chesapeake bay to Norfolk,
and the Seaboard and Roanoke railroad to Weldon,
NC. The country through which this line passes
is delightful, and the equal division of land and
water conveyance makes it peculiarly desirable for
families, and those who seek real comfort in travel
ling. The boats on the Chesapeake bay, running
in connexion with the Seaboard and Roanoke rail
road, between Baltimore and Norfolk, are large
and commodious, equal to those used on any other
route in the country. This company are construct
ing a most magnificent steamer for the line, which
will be completed sometime this fall. The enjoy
ment of the promenade and other luxuries of a
wellappointed steamer, after long and tedious
ride in railway cars, is too we'll known by the tray
cling public to require commentator from us. The
Seaboard and Roanoke railroad is equal to any in
New York or New England. 1t has recently been
laid with heavy rail, and the highest rate Of speed
is made throughout its entire length.

two of the most respectable citizens of the United

WING DOCTRINE AS IT NOW IS. The National
Intelligencer, which has been for whole genera
ton the metropolitan organ of the whggery of this
country, says in reference to Cuba that it is con-
trary to the policy of the United States that she
(Cuba) should conquer her own independence"
The dogma of this orgau then, is, that however
oppressed Cuba may be by the intolerable yoke Of
Spanish tyranny, she has no right to be free and

which warning he attended to forthwith. Our in

"FRANCONIA STORIES"

We are under obligations TO Mr.. Turner for several
little volumes-''W aace,' MARY Erskine,'' " Mary
Bell,'' Malleve,'' and :. Beechnut,' under the
general title of " Franconia Sores,' by Jacob Abbott
The character of these works may be gathered from
the Preface, follows
"The developments of the moral sentiments of the
human heart, in early lfe-amd every thing in fact
which relates to the formation Of characters deter
mined in far greater degree by sympathy, and by
the influence OF example, than by formal precepts and
didactc instruction: If boy hears his father speak
ing kindly to robin in the sPrng-welconing it's
coming and offering it food-there arises in
his own mind, feeling of kindness toward the bird,
and toward all the animal creation, which is produced
by sort of sympathetic action, a power somewhat
similar to what in physical philosophy is called Undue
ton. On the other hand, if the father instead of feed
ing the Bird goes eagerly for gun, in order that he
may shoot it, the boy will sympathize in that DESIRE
and growing up under such an influence there will be
gradually formed within him, through the mysterious
tendency of the youthful heart vbrate in unison
with hearts that are near, disposition 10 kill and de-
stroy all helpless beings that come within his power
There is need of any formal instruction in either
case. Of thousand children brought up under the
former of the abovedescrbed influences nearly every
one, when he sees bird, will wish to 90 and get
crumbs to feed it, while in the latter case nearly everv
one will just certainly look for stone. Thus the
growing up in the right atmosphere, rather than the
receiving of the right instruction, is the condition
which 1t is most important to secure, in plans for
forming the characters of children.
1t is in accordance with this philosophy that these
stories, though written mainly with view tt cir
moral influence on the hearts and dispositions of the
readers, contain very little formal exhortaon and in
struction. They present quiet and peaceful pictures
of happy domestic life, portraying generally such
conduct. and expressing such sentiments and feelings
as 1t is desirable to exhibit and express in the presence
of children.
The books, however, will be found, perhaps, after
all, to be useful mainly in entertaining and amusing
the youthful readers who may reruse them, as the
writing of them has been the amusement and recrea
ton OF the author the intervals of serious pur
suits.'
These charming little works ought to be read by
every boy and girl in the land. They are simple in
styie yet the stories they contain quite Ingenious
y constructed and told and they are calculated more
than any book of the have ever seen, to es-
tabllsh in the heart of the child correct moral sent-
ments, and develop the better feelings of human ma
ture.
