GIVE YOUR CHILD A PAPER.


A child beginning to read, becomes de-
lighted with a newspaper, because he reads
the names of things which are very familiar
and will make progress accordingly, A
newspaper in Que year is worth quarters

consider that substantial information is con.
nected with advancement The mother of
. family, being. ono Of the heads and having
more immediate charge Of children, should
herself be instructed A mind occupied
becomes fortified against the ills of life, aud
is braced for emergency. Children amused
BY reading or study ara of course more cas-
lily governed. How many parents who have
NOT spent twenty dollars for books for their
families would have given hundreds to re-

Scott and Graham Club. - Meet.
ings Of the Scott and Graham Club Of HILLSIDE.
rough were held on the evenings of Wednesday
and Thursday OF last week, at which some excel
lent speeches were delivered. and the best spirit
prevailed. On Wednesday night, John ID. Hy-
man, esq. gallant member Of the Edgecombe
guard Of invinciblc Wings, made good speech
and was followed by John Kerr, esq. Of Caswell,
in one Of the happiest efforts we have ever heard
from any speaker. Mr. Hyman was member
Of the Wing National Convention, and support.
cd Mr.. Fillmore throughout; but Gen. Scott hay-
ing fairly obtained the nomination, Mr.. Hyman,
like true Wing, now heartily supports Sc1i,
and Graham. Mr. Kerr's speech made a lodge
mcnt in our heart and memory, and we may take
occasion hereafter 10 give some Of his facts and
arguments.
On Thursday night, the Club was addressed
by Maurice @. Waddell, ESQ.,, of Chatham, at
some length; in which, while he dealt some hard
blows al the Democratic nominees and their plat
form, he also kept his audience in The best humor
by the occasional introduction Of lively anec-
dote. He was followed by brief addresses from
DR.. Atkinson, of Danville, Va, and Henry w.
Miller, esq. Of Raleigh; both Of which were re-
ceivcd siih great applause by the club.
DR.. Atkinson is the gentleman to whom Gen.
Scott wroie the letter on the subject Of slavery,
for which he has been so much abused The
DR.. stated that he was born in tie same county
in Virginia that Gen. Scott was, and that he had
known him intimately ever since the year 1905.
He believed Gen. Scott to be as sound ON the
slavery question as he or any other STAKEHOLDER
was. He stated further, that Gen. SCOTS pri.
vate character was as spotless as his public ca.
reer was biliant For strict integrity and puri-
" Of morals, he did not believe there was any
public man who was superior TO Gen. Scott. if
there was his equal since the death Of Mr.. Cal
