YELLOW COVERED LITERATuRE-Vcry few
know the immense amount of pernicious reading
that is poured out from the cheap presses, to
yitiate the taste and corrupt the morals of the
young. The counters of the periodical depots
are laded with works of this kind, the titles of
which sufficiently indicate the matter within,
the Pirates of the Gulf" the s.Robbers of the
Rhine" the 'sMysteries of New York" and
thousands of others, in which views Of life are
given SO preposterousy false, that only the very
young, or those whose tastes Have been greatly
perverted, can bear them. But it is the very
young whose tastes become most easily per-
verified, and it is upon them, and in all their
future lives that the worst consequences of this
corrupt literature are visited. =.
It is said, and from the letters left behind
them, we should think truly, that the poor girls
who lately drowned themselves at Manchester.
were driven to a monomaniacal condition by
reading the publications of this class They
had lived in an atmosphere of fiction. and of
fiction that bore no resemblance to the truth,
until the truth became hateful to them, and they
could not endure it, nor comprehend it; 50
they did as the heroines had done in the books
which they read.
We know of nc other remedy than in literary
and religious education, and in supplying the
young with that kind of reading which shall
form correct taste, and give the pernicious
class to which we have referred no foothold
Much can BE done by parents, not by rfgidly
prohibiting the exceptionable publications, bu.
by carefully forming the tastes of their children
to better things, by accustoming to healthful in
tellectual food, and teaching them to avoid the
hurthful stimulants of over-wrought romances
History may be made more agreeable to the
young than fiction, and it is easy to direct the
youthful minds towards literary and scientific
studies and practical pursuits. There is ro-
nance enough in actual life without stimulating
it with unnatural fiction -Proridencp Journal.

IMPORTANT AND TRuE.-The Journal of Com
mcrce well remarks: " There are causes nearer
home which complicate the web of our prosper
ity far more than the Turkish question, but
these seem to be overlooked. while undue i'm
portance is given to the other. There may be
war between Russia and Turkey, and it is pos
sble that France and England may be involved
in it; although we deem the last improbable,
and the first quite doubtful.
But if we stand well at home-if merchants
and merchants clerks would stop dabbling in
stock and other speculations, outside of their
regular business-if young beginners and hou-
ses with limited capital, would contine them
selves within the circle which they could span
with their own means, keeping down their ex-
penses, and aping neither the the style or man
ners of millionaires-in short, if business men
generally would show desire to develop some
other trait Of character, than the one ambition
for sudden wealth-the sabre and the cimeter
might clash on the borders of Europe, without
creating any excitement ON this side of the At
lantic.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE NASHVILLE
day morning, 25th ult., an abandoned woman
known as Mary 2. Smith, committed suicide by
shooting herself in the heart.
Some of the particulars of this unfortunate
woman's history, as furnished by the True Wig,
are of peculiarly melancholy nature. She re-
ceived in one of the best female schools in Ten
nessee, a finished education, and at the age
which young ladies generally leave the Semina-
ry, was an accomplished, handsome, and inter-
esting girl But in an evil hour, she departed
from the path Of virtue, and became dishonored
About eighteen months since, she went to Nash
vile, and has ever since been an inmate of one
of the numerous houses of ill-fame which infest
the city. Tuesday morning, awakened at about
daylight by her paramount she arose, and with
the remark that she presumed he had become
tired of her, she opened drawer from which
she took II loaded pistol, and deliberately shot
herself. She was only about nineteen years of
age.

EFFECT OF HARD WAFER rroN ANIMALS
Horses bave an instructive love for soft water,
and refuse hard water if they can possibly get
the former. Hard water produces rough and
starting coat on horses, and renders them liable
to gripes. Pigeons also refuse hard water if
they obtain access to soft. Cleghorn states that
hard water in Minorica causes disease in the
system of certain animals especially of sheep.
So much are race horses influenced by the quality
of the water, that it is not unfrequent to carry
supply Of soft water to the locality in which
the race is to take place, lest there being only
hard water, the horse should lose condition.
MIR. Yonatt, in his book called "The Horse"
remarking on the desirableness of soft water for
the horse says: Instinct or experience has
made the horse himself conscious Of this, for he
will never drink hard water if he has access to
soft; he will leave the most transparent water
of the well for river, although the water may
be turbid, and even for the muddiest pool" And
again, in another place he says. "Hard water
drawn fresh from the well will assuredly make
the coat of horse unaccustomed to it stare, and
will not unfrequently grippe or further injure
him.

years ago, have had occasion to wish they had
not followed this advice. / am inclined to be-
lieve, too, that they will never celebrate Col
den Marriage agaill-although their first was
one, literally
The case was simply this: A good-looking,
but ambitious, somewhat proud, and not over
industrious young man, paid his addresses to
"a young-old girl, whose father was very rich
and very pompous man, the magnate of the VIII
lage, so far as the possession of a large property
went. The girl herself was naughty, proud,
and exacting; but she had solid charms, and
they won for her husband.
{" | can't say that envied her, or pitied him.
A friend of mine, less than eight months after
their marriage, was invited to their house for
dinner. Every thing was very stylish, but the
repast was very frigid, and the married uo-
mans eye was playing necessarily.
g The husband after the soup had been re-
moved, directed the servant to hand him piece
of bread lying by plate near where his wife
sat. When it was brought to him, glance
from his wife told him that he had done some
thing wrong
"' beg your pardon, my DEAR he said 4
am afraid have taken your bread
"' If you have she replied, in bitter, sar-
castle tone, it's no more than you have done
every day since we were married.
SO. would not, said my friend, sfor twice
ten times ten thousand dollars, have had the
feelings Of that man at that moment, as he
looked around, his cheeks suffuscd with shame,
upon his guests; ending with an appealing look
to the wife who had bought him with her own
money!

cribed q while ago. CIVILIAN TIMM1xst.''

Mr.. BENTON ON REMOVAL FROM OFFICE
Mr. Benton in one of the chapters of his
forthcoming history, thus expressed himself
on removals from office.
g consider sweeping removals, as now
practlsed by both parties: great political
evil IN our country, injurious to individuals,
to the public service, to the purity OF cleo
tons, and to the harmony and union OF the
people. Certainly, no individual has right
10 an office, no one has an estate of property
IN public employment: but when a mere
ministerial worker in subordinate station
has learned its duties by experience and
approved his fidelity by his conduct. it is an
injury to the public service to exchange him
for novice, whose only title 10 the place
may be political badge or partizan SER
vice. 1t is exchanging experience for ex-
pertinent, tried ability for untried, and des-
troying the incentive to good conduct by
destroying its reward. To the party dis
placed it is an injury, having become pro-
ticient in that business, expecting to remain
i'll it during good behavior, and finding it
difficult, at an advanced age, and with fixed
habits, TO begin new career IN some new
walk of life. 1t converts elections into sciam-
bles for office, and degrades the government
into an office for rewards and punshments,
and divides the people of the Union into two
adverse parties-each in its turn, and as it
becomes dominant, to trip and prescribe the
other. Our government is union We
want a united people as we'll as a United
States-united for benefits as we'll as for
burdens, and in feeling as we'll as in com-
pact; and this cannot be while one-half
leach in its turn} excludes tho other from
all share in the administration of The govern

Dear little brother died before the bird, and |
loved him better than any bird, or tree or flow
er. ., l wish we could have something to love
that wouldn't die
The day passed During the school hours,
George and Mary had almost forgotten that their
tree was dying; but at evening as they drew
their chairs to the table their mother was sit
ting, and began to arrange the seeds they had
been gathering, the remembrance of the tree
came upon them.
Mother said Mary, you may give these
seeds to cousin John; never want another gar
den.'
Yes added George pushing the papers in
which he had carefully folded them towards bis
mother, you may give them all away. If
could find some seeds of tree that would never
fade, should like then to have a garden. I
wonder, mother if there ever was such gar
den?'
'Yes, George, have read of garden where
the trees never die
"A real garden, mother?'
Yes, my SON. In the middle of the garden,
have been told, there runs river of pure wa
ter, clear as crystal, and on each side of the
river is the tree of lfe-a tree that never fades
The garden is heaven. There you may love, and
love forever. There will be no death-no fading
there. Let your treasure be in the tree of life,
and yon will have something to which your
hearts can cling without disappointment. Love
the Savior here, and he will prepare you to
dwell in those green pastures and beside those
still waters

Sickerly she had i fair forehead:
1t was almost aspan broad, I trow.

In the celebrated verses which enumerate
the thirty points Of woman's beauty, il is laid
down that the perfect woman should have
three parts broad, the breast, the forehead
and the space between the eyes" II is some
what remarkable thatoat Of these three, the
ancients desired two-the latter two-to be
narrow. But there are great offences against
sound taste in this enumeration Of the thirty
points; and if Helen had been such as this
writer supposed her to have been, Paris
would never have stolen her away.
