knucklcs ofpretty hands very roughly.
Just hear him:
Delicate, beautiful hands! Dear
miss, how do you contriyo to make
your hands SO pretty?
And such rings, too, rs if to draw
attention that way. Let us feel them.
0, dear, how soft and tender. DO
You bake, miss :"

DO you wash floors, and scrub tbs
pots md kettles? 2
No.
so We thought. Look atyour mo-
theirs hands. Amt YOU ashamed to
let that old lady kill herself outright,
willie you do nothing from daylight
to dark, but keep the dust from your
tnce, and the iilcs from your lIands !
What uro you lit for! viii Il man .!
common sense marry you Tor your
lolicato hands! Pretty fingers in.
deed! what are they good for but ,o
move over Il piano or to stick through
gold rings =! Like many Of tho vnil
things ofoaIllI, they are KEEP! for show
and nothing more. For our part, We
would rather SEQ them ont in actual
service, and us tough us Il coqucuc's
conscience, than 80 tender that liy's

A Newspaper in a Family.

A school teacher who has bccn cn-
gagged Il long 'imo in his profession,
and Witnessed the influence ola news
paper on tho minds Of family Of
children, writes to the editor of the
Ogdcnsburg Journal us follows:
have found it to be Il universal
fact, without exception, that those
scholars of both sexes and all ages,
who have access to newspapers at
home, when compared to those who
do not, arc,
1st. Better readers, cxcclling i'll
pronunciation and emphasis, and con.
scquently read more umlcrstandingly
Cd. They arc better spoilers, and
define words with greater case and
accuracy.
Sd. They obtain a practical knowl-
edge of Geography in almost half tho
4ime it requires. others as tho ncwspa-
per has made them familiar with tho
location Of all the important places,
naIous, their governments and doings
On the globo~
4th. They arc better Grammarians,
fot having become familiar with every
variety of style in tho newspaper,
from common place advertisements to
tho finished and classical Grafton of
the statesmen, they more readily com
prehend the meaning of tho text, and
conscquentlysanalizc its construction
with greater accuracy.
9Th. They write better compositions
using bettcrlanguagc, containing moro
thoughts more clearly expressed.
9th. Those young mon who have
for y@rs been readers ofncwspapcrs
are always found taking the lead in
debating societies, exhibiting more
extensive knowledge upon greater
variety Of subjects, and expressing
heir views with grcatcr clcarncss an,l

The Negro Race.

Bay.rd Taylor, writing from Nubis,
in Upper Egypt, says: "rhe only ne
gro features represented in Egyptian
sculpture, are those of slaves and capt
ives taken in the Ethiopian wars oflhe
Pharaohs. The temples and pyramids
throughpught Nubia. as far as The Dar-
Fur and Abyssinia, oil bear the hero
glyphs oil these monarchs, and there is
10 evidence ia all the valley Of the Nile
that the negro race ever attained a high
er degree of civilization than is at pres
INT exhibited in Congo aud Ashantee.
I mention this, not from any feeling hos
tile to that face, but simply to contro-
vert an opinion very prevalent in some
parts ol the United States.

RenOrt Of COlpOrtago in Virginia.


We have before lis an abstract by Mr..
J. Cross, Superintendent, of the Annual
Report OF Colportage in Virginia from
March 1st, 1851, 10 March lsI, 1859.
The report states that, during the past
year, sixty-nine Colporteurs have been
employed, some Of them the whole, but
most only part Of the time. Not hav-
ing room for the whole oi the docu-
ment, we make the following extract ::
"Aggregate OF labor, 96 years and
0 days. Families visited, 81, ,593, with
most Of phom there was held religious
conversations and prayer. OF this
number 1886 were found without any
religious book except the Bible, and but
few oil them had the entire Scriptures.
Families without any part ot Gods
word, l,24S. Number supplied $50.
Those were obtained from the Virginia
Bible Society and its auxiliaries, by our
Colporteurs. OF families who, by their
own statement, never attended any
place Of worship, there were falnl g.
72l. Public meetings addressed uosl!y
by Ministerial Colportpurs, 1861; one
Of those men preached 1G0 sersons,
and several others over 100. BOrks

meals, lodging, tolls, iprriag", freight
and postage, $7,03t IS. Donations
collected, $G,3+l 25, showing an ad-
vance on any previous year one-third,
although Our sales have been very lim-
tied, not exceeding 30 ceh!s 10 each
family, owing to the fac. that our labors
have been mostly confined to the poor
and destitute. Some Of the Colporteurs
have travelled from house to house, for
Two or three days together, without
finding single family who was able to
buy book at ten cents, though very
anxious 10 get them; to all such liberal
grants were madc.o

Misfelloueous,
A Beautiful Action.

We know not whether the story an
hcXcd will be as new to our readers
as it was tho other day to ourselves,
when we clipped it from tho Boston
Transcript; but of this we arc certain,
it will be no less pleasing, whether
new or old. 1t is related by Sidney
Smith -
"a London merchant, who, bc.
licvo is still alive, where he way stay
ing in the country with friend, hap.
pcncd to mention that lie intended,
tho next year, to buy ticket in the
lottery; his friend desired that lrc
would buy ono for him at the same
time, which, of course, was very will
lingly agreed to. The conversation
dropped, the ticket never arrived, and
tho whole affair was entirely forgot.
ten, whcn the country gentleman re-
ccivod information that the ticket pur.
chased for hin, by his friend had come
up prize Of 100000. Upon his
arrival in london, ho inquired Of his
friend where he had put the ticket
and why ho had not informed him
that it was purchased. 81 bough,
them both The same day, your tickc'
and minc, and | flung them both in Il
drawer of my bureau, and | novel
thought Of them afterwards" "Bur
how do you distinguish one ,ieke, from
tho other? aud why am the lloldc,
Of the fortunate ticket more than you
Why, at tho time ! put them in til,
drawer, | put little mark in ink upol
tho ticket which / resolved should b,
yours ; and upon opening the drawer
| found the ono so marked was the for
tunalo ticket"
"Now," ad,is tho narrator, "thi
action appears to me perfectly beau
lilul; it is tho bcaw.ilc01 in morals
aud gives that calm yet deep emotion
Of pleasure which every ono so casil,
receives from the beauty Of tho cx,c
rior world"

The Orchard.

Plant among your trees; ploat G.
mony yo0r trees; then, after you have
lakcm oil your corn and other crops,
you caH look back upon your shorn
field and SEQ that, in addition to tho
produce secured, you have tho growth
on your three Or four acres Of trees.
In few years you will begin to take
moro from tho trees than you do from
tho lanA They will grow fast and
bear generously, if tho land is allkept
mellow for the roots, and sufficient nu-
trimcnt is spread broadcast for the
roots to feed upon.
Now take tho level piece, where
you huso your young orchard, and 60

manure it, broadcast literally, work
the manure down into the soil with Ia
small plow or largo cultivator, plant,

tho corn itself. Yoa will caution tho
boys in dropping tho corn not to plant

grow better when nothing else grosys

POETRY.
The Old Philosophers Advice to a
Young One,
Who was afraid to speak his mind gu II
Great Question.

Shume upon tne, craven spirit!
Is it manly, just, or brave,
If u truth have shone within thee,
To conceal the ligh, it gave?
Captive Of the worlds opinion
FIce 10 speak-but ye, slave.
All conviction should be valiant
Tell thy lrulh-if truth it be-
Never seek 10 stem its current -
Thoughts, like rivers, find the sea j.
twill fit the widening circle
OF Eternal Verify.
Speak thy though. if thou believ'sl it,
Let it jostle whom ii may,
Fen although the foolish scorn it,
Or the obstinate gainsay.
Every seed that grows tomorrow,
Lies beneath Il clod to-day.
If our sires, the noble hearted,
Pioneers Of things to come,
Han, like thee, been weak and timid,
Traitors to themselves, and dumb
Where would be Our presentknuwledge
Where, the hoped Millennium?
Where would be triumphant Science
Searching with her fearless eyes,
Through the infinite creation
For the soul that underlies-
Soul of Beauty, soul Of Goodness,
Wisdom Of the earth and skies?
Where wotld be all great Inventions,
Each from by-ronc luncies born,
Issued first in donb, and darkness,
Launched mid apathy and scorn?
llnw could nuou-,ile ever light US,
But for duwuiug Of the morn?
WhFre would be our free opinion
Where the right 10 speak Ut all,
II our sires: like thee mis,rus,ful,
Had been deaf to iuty's call,
And concealed The thoughts within them
Lying down, for fear to fall?
Though an homes, thought, outspoken,
Lead thee into Chains or death
What is Life, compared with Virtue? ?
Shalt thou not survive thy breath?
liark the future age invites thee?
Listen! tIemblrr, what it sailh?
II demands thy thought in Justice,
Dcb', not ,ribuie Of the free;
Have not ages long departed,
Grmned, and ,oiled, and bled for thee
If tho Past has lent thee wisdom,
Pay il 10 Futuri'y.
