DISCIPLINE IN CHILDHooD,- Young people
who have been habitually grati6ed in all their de-
sires will not only indulge more in capricious
desires, but will infalhbly take it more amiss,
when the feelings or happiness of others re-
ouire that they should be thwarted, than those
who have been practically trained to the habit
of subduing and training them, and conse-
quently viii, in general, sacrifice the happiness
of others to their own selfish indulgence. To
what else is selfshness of princes and other
great people to be attributed? It is in vain to
think of cultiyating principles Of generosity and
benefcence by mere exhortation and reason
ing. Nothing but the practical habit OF over
coming our own sel6shness, and of Familiarity en-
countering privations and discomfort on ac-
count of others, ever enables us to do it when
required. And therefore am firmly persuad-
ed that indulgence infallibly produces selfish
ness and hardness of heart, and nothing put
pretty severe discipline and control can lay
the foundation of magnimous character

Mysterious AbalaftonmcaltO of a
izs2 YOraaag LaGV.

zE Some two weeks since young girl
appeared at the Third District Station
z House in Court-street, ard informed
1 The officers that she arrived in this city
Il that day, from Peekskill, with her
uncle, William Haguc-and that on
landing. from the boat at Hamilton
avenue ferry, he left ner promising to
return in o few minutes. After wait
ing for some hours, she made known
the faetto Il policeman, who took her
to the Station House. Here she reIa-
ted her story. and Assistant-captain
Van Ordcn, taking compassion IN her,
took her to his home, she deported her
Z self in. an unexceptionable manner. She
stated that she arrived in New York
1 from Charleston. South Carolina, some
days previous; her father having died
about a month before, and her mother
being dead also, her uncle sent word
for her to come North and make his
house her future home. When she
arrived at Peekskill (shc had mistaken
/ the name-it should have been Fish
'kill) she was met by her uncle, and
the following morning they departed
in steamboat for New York, for the
sostensible purpose Of visiting some
friends.
Arriving in Brooklyn, she was aban-
,doned as above stated. Capt. Camp
bell being anxious to ascertain the
truth of her.statemcnt, took her to
Peekskill, and there, accidentally, met
! % man who had seen the girl take a
boat at the Fishkill landing in compa-
ny with her uncle. They consequently
proceeded to Fishkill but could OBJ
tain no further information about him
than that such man had lived there
and was widowcr; but where he had
removed to no one seemed to know.
Through the influence of Justice King
of this city, a home was procured for
(; the girl at Mr.. Van Wick's, who re-
sides on farm about six miles from
Fishkill, where the girl.now is and ap-
pears very well satisfied. Her father,
s,it appears, was the owner of some
property. in iSoaM Carolina, and she
as the ouly heir; her brother small
hid who falmerlS set type in .theioflicc
of the s@Southern Literary Messenger
ateChqrleston, having died some time
ago. In ease Of her death, it is provi-
'ded that the property falls to the next
nearest relative, which is the uncle; and
if the girls story is true. this latter
consideration might have had some
thing to do with her abandonment in a
large city and among entire strangers.
Mr.. Van Orden received letter from
her day or two ago in which she ex-
pressed her thanks TO the family for
the interest they took in her behalf
The letter is indicative Of cultivated
mind.
