pATERNAL Teaching.

If parents would not trust a child on the
back Of wild horse without bit or bride,
let them not permit them to go forth into the
world unskilled in government II a
child is passionate, teach him by gentle means
to curb bis temper If he is greedy, cult
vate liberality IN him. If he Is selfish, pro-
mote generosity. II he Is sulky, charm him
ou: Of il by encouraging frankncs and good
humor. If he is ignorant, accustom BIN 50
to perform even onorous duties With alacrty.
If pride comes in to make obedience rcluc
tant, subduc him. either by counsel or discip
line In short, give your child the habit Of
overcoming these beseiting sins. Let them
acquire from experience that confidence in
themselves which gives security to the prac-
ticcd horseman, even ON the back of high
strung stced, and they will triumph over diff
iculties and dangers which bcsct them in the

THE PUBLIC PRESS.

The readers Of this paper, We are confident,
need no assurance that we subscribe most
heartily to the excellent sentiments which are
SO we'll expressed in the following remarks Of
the South Side Democrat. The evil TO which
they refer is one that must be deplored by
every citizen who has just appreciation Of
the power and proper aims ofthe public press
lffreedom Of written speech as the Richmond
Times well remarks, be the surcst pledge Of
liberty, its abuse is not less certainly destruc.
tive to the taste, the morals aud the social
relations Of the people.
There is no doubt but that the general
tone Of newspaper controversy has latterly
been characterized by spirit more fierce and
truculent. This originated in an ambition
for effect ; for it is a painful fact that there
Is no style of composition read by the people
with as much avidity as the savage and sa-
tanic. Unimpassioncd augmentation, calm
discussion Of facts, the delicate graces ofrhct-
oric, have no charms for tho morbid and
blood thirsty appetite of the public. Point
ed personalities, dogmatic assertions, and
fierce invectiycs, are read with intense inter-
est; whilst an article, no matter how conspic-
uous its merits, is thrown aside as tamo and
uul, uuiesS IL uaS that RuDpoWuIT suneH
which SO gratifes the coarse sensibities of
the public. 1t is no prevailing malignity of
disposition in Editors which prompts them to
indulge in personal abuse; they but cater to
an appetite which Graves this stimulating food
The consequence is, that Editors have become
in some sort, public gladiators and the Press
is the area upon which they brandish their
weapons and engage in conflicts of character,
for the amusement of the idle and corrupt
spectators, 1t is time that the Press had
arrested this tendency--it is false to its high
vocation, and cannot claim to be the hand
maid of virtue, so long as it runs this mad
and profigate career. In no particular does
British Journalism contrast more advantage
ously with the American Press, thaa in its
superior dignity and dolcacy Of tone And
an inference iiniavorable to the character of
the Afiierican people is dcduccd by foreigners
from the character of our Press. 1t is in
cumbent therefore, upon our leading Jour
mails, to acquit us Of this foreign rcproach, by
imparting more Of dignity and dclicacy to
their columns"

GETTING MARRIED..

Some of the old writer's were curious fcl
lows, and had strange ideas Of matiimony not
at all attractive TO us bachelors. 1t is told
of Sir John Moore the father Of the famous
Sir Thomas. that he used to compare getting
married to a man thrusting his hand into q
bag which contained twenty snakes and one
eel; it was twenty to one be did not catch
the eel We strongly suspect, from this def
milton of fhatrimony, that Sir John at least
must have caught 4 snake, About hun
bred years after Thomas Bastcd, Esq, fel-
low Of the New College, Oxford, penned the
following epigram on the three wives:
Though marriage by some is reckoncd curse,
Three wives did marry, for better or worse,
The first for her person-the next for her purse
The third fol- warming pan, doctress, and nurse.

BELLS AT MIDRlGHT.
BY ALICE d. NEAL
looked DER the silent city
So wrapt In its drear wide gloom,
And chilla shuddcr came Ger me,
AS if from an open tomb.
The gaunt and spectral dwellings
Looked down the desolate street,
Where late rose the murmur of voices,
The echo ofhurrying feet.
The mist from the sluggish river
Came creeping and stealing Ger all,
More strange that looked on its drearness
With thoughts of the shroud and the pail
With thoughts of the pain and the sorrow,
The want, the anguish, and care,
Enwrapt in that vast silent shadow,
And verging to sin and despair.
The hearts that were throbbing and breaking
With misery too hopeless for tears,
And grief for the sinful msdoing
OF loved one in earlier years
Remorse with its pitiless goading
Though clothed in the purple of shame,
And the cold Indifferent scorning
OF traitors but human in name.
A sound on the stiffness of midnight!
Through the dull pulselcss darkness it Jars,
For still was no light in thelheavens,
No rift for the shining of stars.
A clang Of bells-nay moaning,
To this mood which could not resist
With circles of cndlcss vibration
That thrilled through the damp, clinging mist
A dirge for the anguish and SORROW
No mercy, no pardon could win,
For hopes that had persisted forever
In the woe and darkess of sin.
There is music and gladncss around me,
But oft through the harmony swclls
Those full heaving sobs of the midnight
Flung out with the moaning of bells.
