THE DAYS or CHILDHOOD.

Memory is that sunshine we see beaming
SO oft in the face of venerable age. "IIe is
thinking of his youth, we say, when the smile
Of happy abstraction, like breath of summer,
melts into touching softness Of expression the
time worn lineaments of the hoary dreamer
He is back with his early childhood, when the
world seemed all so good and beautiful, and
men just what their Maker first designed
them to be, only little lower than the an
GELS" back with bis happy school days,
when application and ability were first coined
into the gold of knowledge; back with the
merry troop who went bounding out to
play" back with his dawning manhood
which still is youth, when passion, kindcd az
the shrine of beauty offered up its first, its
purest sacrifice an unsullied and devoted
heart. He thinks, he ponders on all this, and
if cloud of regret arise, ii is momentary, fol
though the nervelcss arm, the failing eye
over which the film Of age is gathering fast
the silvered locks, the faltcring STEP are all
solemn evidences that the winter of life has
set in for him. memory is at hand with hen
antidote; at hand with the balm of he: cen
ISOLATION. She tells him that these are but
incrustations wrought by time on the surface
which eat not their way within; the soul o
man being impcrvious to all blighting infu
ences; its dover being that Of perpetua
youth

RISING IN THE WORLD.

You should bear constantly in mind that
nine tenths Of us are, from the very nature
and necessities of the world, born to gain our
livelihood by the sweat Of the brow What
reason have we, then, to presume that our
children are not to do the same? If they be,
as now and then one will be. endowed with
extraordinary powers of mind; those extra
ordinary powers may have an opportunity OF
developing themselves; and if they never
have that opportunity, the harm is not very
great to us or to them Nor does it hence
follow that the defendants of laborers are al
ways to be laborers. The path upward is
steep and long to be sure. Industry, care,
skill, excellence, in the parent. lay the fonn-
dation of rise, and, by and by, the decend.
ants of The present laborer become gentlemen.
This is the natural progress. 1t is by at
tempting to reach the top at single leap,
that so much misery is produced in the world
Society may aid in making the laborers vir-
tuous and happy, by bringing children up &c
labor with steadiness, with care and with skill
to show them how to do as many useful things
as possible to do them all in the best man
ner; to set them an example in industry
sobriety, cleanliness and neatness; to make
| all these habitual to them, so that they ney.
err shall be liable to fall into the contrary; Il
let them always see a good living proceeding
from labor, and thus to remove from then
the temptation to get at the goods Of Others
by violent or fraudulent means, and to keel
from their minds all Inducements to hypocrac,
and deceit.

DEAD LETTER OFFICE.

From an interesting sketch in the Republic, we
make the following extract:
The dead letters containing ne remittanccs
are never read; and those containing enclo
sures are looked into only so far asis necessa-
ry to obtain q. clue to their proper ownership.
The whole number of dead letters return
ed tothe Department we can only vaguely
estimate. Thus, in one quarter, the bulk Of
opened letters- cqus.ssel - ", 0e9 '5ashels,
crammed each dushel is Supposed to con-
tain 1000 letters The number returned in
quarter is therefore about six millions, OF
twenty four millions year!
Unclaimed moneys, less the discount, are
handed over to the general treasury, subject
to the demands of the rightful owners; but
we believe that for the half year ending June
Both, 1850, the amount of these was not
more than about 100.
Drafts, deeds, and other papers of value
and also jewelry mementoes, &c., are pre-
served in the dead letter office. These arc
often recovered by their owners with much
| delight. In one instance, not great while
since, a gentleman, for want of certain docu.
uments believed to have been lost from the
mail, found himself in the power of an un,
scrupulous person in matter in which prop,
erty to the amount of ten thousand dollar.
Call the gentleman was WORTHY was involved
As possible means of obtaining the papers
he applied to the dead-letter Office and il
about three minutes they were produced !
The package had been improperly addressed
Dead letters are usually unpaid letters.
The custom of prepaymeut has become vast
ly more general since the reduction Of post
age to FIVE and ten cents. In tie fourth quar-
ter Of 1850 the number of dead letters re
ceived from Cincinnati not prepaid, was g.,
500; the number prepaid, 1900 In thu
third quarter of 1850 the prepaid letters
from the Boston post Office numbered ,612
of letters not prepaid, 9,40l. These in
stances are taken at random.

There is everything 70 cheer The Whigs

aressiopal elections. Al tic last Presiaen-
tial election, Gen Taylor carried eight dis
triets cut Of fifteen, to wit: the Loudoun.

the Pittsylvania District BY a single vote,
and the Norfolk hy less that loo Notwith-
standing the heavy Locofoco majority ii the
Ohio District Raymond, Wing. was triun-
phantly sustained at the last election, and
there seems no doubt Of his success before
the people next Spring. els therefore plain
that the Wing party Of Virginia can, by
proper efforts and organization, elect eleven
members to Congress, instead Of two, their
present number There was mover a time
when the skies 10 our good old State were
brighter for our glorious party. The leading
men in the ranks Of eur opponents have made
themselves odious to the people by espoEsing
disunion sentiments, whilst the Wing party.
almost to a single man, have calamity and
hopefully upheld the Institutions Of our faith
ers This difference between the two parties
has made a deep impression upon tho honest
portion of the Democracy, especially in the
Western part Of the State, and viii exhort q
powerful and unexpected influence upon our
Spring elections. The Wing party Of vir-
GINA can also carry in the Spring a majority
of the Legislature, if they viii bat put forth
their efforts, and although there is no IT, S.
Senator to be elected next winter, the moral
effect Of such triumph. would be seusibly
felt by the. pisunion fanatics both at the
North and The South 1t would tend to
abatc excitement ia all quarters Of the coun-
try and to bring about peace aud quiet; for
nothing is more true, than that the Ultras,
both Of the North and the South, act and re-
act upon each other, and thus mutually ex-
cite in the opposite section sentiments Of
hostility to the Union
Asa Wing therefore | call upon tue
Wing party Of Virginia to prepare for thc
Spring campaign. Bring out your ablest
most trusted aud most available men as can
didatcs for Congress and tue Legislature, and
above all see to it that they are eminently
sound upon the great question Of the prescr-
walton Of that Union which our fathers trans
mitted to us as the richest heritage they could
bequetb. Our Wing President appeals to
you for your support. He is worthy Of the
great party Of which he is the hend of the
principles that brought him into power, Of
the Union which be has sworn to defend, and
to the preservation of which his adn,inistra-
ton has been devoted Let us act with an
energy and wisdom worthy Of our cause, ard
Virginia, next Spring will be enrolled among
the Wig States-n contamination most de-
votedly wished by ALBEMARLE.

BARON IsOTHsCHILD.

The Paris correspondent of the Courier

aote Of the Baron Rothschild:
"Thc splendid New Years fetes which
we're to have been celebrated at the Hotel
Rothschild have been put aside on account
Of family sorrow. very young child, a
grandson of Baron Rothschild having recent
ly died. The Baron was so much affected
by this affection, that for some time he gave
mp the care of bis affairs and neglected his
vast enterprises.
"a few days since, friend come to offer
him his coincidence, the Baron recalled with
melancholy tenderness the winning ways of
the poor little child. "They brought him
into me every morning here, in my cabinet
said he aud | think see him now, upon my
table oyerturning all my papers"
At this period an agent from the Exchange
came in. 1t was the hour when he came to
take the orders of the prince of finance, and
render him an account of the movements in
the funds, and the aspect affairs on the
Bourse had taken since the day before. In
terrupted in the ovoraowings Of his memo
ries and regrets. M. dc Rothschild fell into a
melancholy reverie, while the agent launched
bravely into the subject of his habitual visit
and continued with the most minute detail
his expose of the state of financial matters,
without being disconnected by the silence Of
4 -
and deep calculation. After having finished
his report on the state of all the stocks nego-
tiated on Change, the agent added: A new
advance in the public funds is expected, dc
you believe in it. Nj. de Baron? M. de
Rothschild aroused from bis reverie, raised
his head and replied with an accent full Of
sadness and gravity. II, sir, believe only
in God"
