truthful analysis ofthe boyish thought of feel
ing. But having ventured thus far into what
may seem sacred ground, / shall venture still
farther, and clinch my matter with moral.
There is very much Religious teaching,even
in so good a country as New England, which
Is far too harsh, two dry, too cold for the
heart Of boy. Long sermons, doctrinal pre-
cepts, and such tediously-worded dogmas as
were uttered by those honest, but hard-spo-
ken men-the Westminster Divines, fatigue,
and puzzle, and dispirit him.
They may be well enough for those strong
souls which strengthen by task-work, for
those mature people whose iron habit of self
denial has made patience a cardinal virtue /;
but they fall (erperto crede) upon the unhed-
ged faculties of the boy. like winters rain
upon Spring fowers-hke hammers of iron
upon little timber. They may make deep
Impressions upon his moral nature, but there
is great danger of a sad rebound.
Is it absurd to suppose that some adaptation
is desirable? And might not the teachings
of that Religion, which is the Egis of our
moral being, be inwrought with some of those
finer harmonies of speech and form-which
were given to wise ends; and lure the boyish
soul, by something akin to that gentleness,
which belonged to the Nazarene Teacher !;
and which provide-not only, meat for men,
but s. Milk for babes ~

The KOSSutsa Hat,

The Scientific American, speaking OF
the new fashion of hats, known as the
Kossuth hats, says they are a decided
improvement upon the hard Shez'ed silk
hats which are now generally worn, and
adds:
" The common silk hats have what are
termed felt bodies. These are made of
telted wool, are soft and pliable, and al
low the gas passing from the head to es-
cape freely. This is the Kossuth hat
To make it common silk hat, this felt
body is saturated with lac varnish and a
covering of silk is ironed down on it and
smoothed up to shine like mirror. This
hat, the common sober hat, is then hard
as sheet iron, and quite as stiff it greatly
resembles little pot, and in warm wealth
er 1t most effectually prevents the evap-
oration Of the pate. 1t causes heahache,
makes the hair decay early, and is a most
uncomfortable head appendage. We hope
its days are ended in principle; oldish
people of a sedate turn, although they
would prefer the 'Kossuth hat, do not
like to adopt just yet, from prudential
fear of being conspicuous.
Tkis is our feeling exactly upon the
Subjective like the black felt 'Kossuth
hat barring the little feather, (that may
do very well for a military man) and we
hope to see it come into such general use
as will warrant US in dofing the hard
Shel1ed silk head kettles. There never
was more ungraceful head gear than
that of the common hat"
We should rejoice to see the stiff, awk-
ward and ungainly hats in common use
superseded by the light, low crowned
felt or beaver hats, and believe that the
change would conduce equally to the health
and comfort of the wearer-BOSton Jour

FashloninNew-Orleans.

The New Orleans Picayune thus hits
of the new style of dressing the hair now
in vogue among the ladies of fashion in
that city, which it styles Hair q Ia negre:'
They (the ladies' have got tired oflook-
ing like white people, and are doing their
best to initiate the mulatto and quadroon
women that may be seen about the streets
any day, selling fruits and flowers. So
far, the colored ladies are decidedly ahead
of their pale-faced imitators. We have
been told of the desperate efforts made
by two young bellies to give their flowing
locks that waVy, crispy hair, peculiar to
the quadroon and mulattress. They
sro1led their hair; tied it up tight in ex-
cruciating little cruls, and finally, in des-
pair at their bad success, went to bed sick
at heart, because they couldn't look like
their servant girls The new style,
though, certainly has a piQna1at effect,
and suits some faces very well.

JOE PRINTING.
From the Flag Of our Union.
The Worlds Fair.

Old Englands sons OF ttty-oIe
Resolved to astound the nations,
And show the world what could be done
In the way of competition.
Her mobiles straightway went 10 work,
And devised their cunning measures,
To fill their pockets CT jerk,
From others golden treasures.
A crystal palace then was built,
That covered twenty acres. p.
A hundred thousand pounds were spilled
In the pockets of its makers,
Then Johnny Bull to all the world,
Said, "Come join our exhibition;
Here all your flags may be unfurleG,
Without fear of molestation."
The French, and Scotch and Germans too,
Delighted with the measure,
Resolved to join the famous show,
With the products of their leisure.
The Yankees who no courage lacked,
And liked bold Johnny's nation,
First saw their ''fxins" snugly packed,
Then started 'cross the ocean
Their plough, their reaper, and their loom,
Were there to tell their story,
That Yankee boys were quite at home.
When looking after glory.
As Johnny mused, joyful grin
Came stealing DER his features,
He thought our show very thin,
For such inventive creatures.
Young Jonathan was mighty cool,
But had quiet thinking.
That soon there'd be some British gold,
About his trousers chink;ng.
Their locks were quickly picked by Hobbs,
And McCOrmick's famous reaper,
Did in their fields Yankee Job, -
And Stevens beat their clipper
Our Eagle high was posted Up,
And had a flying nation;
Shed one eye on their silver cup,
And t'other on the ocean.
When Shed come out eight miles ahead,
And into port was streaking,
John owned our Eagle wasn't dead, sn-
But quite alive and kicking.
Now John, We hope you understand
That Britain's sons and daughters ~.
Can be outdone upon the land,
And out sailed on the waters.
In our national air we glory too
At Bunker's Hill we played it;
1t then was Yankee doodle DO,
Now it's Yankee doodle did it.

f" THou, God, SeeSt me,--A father and
his son went out together to steal corn
When they came to the field, the father
climbed up on the fence, looking careful

He then began to fill his bag with corn,
: Father said the boy, !. there is one
way which you did not look
Ah, my son. replied the father, 'and
