DIsCOURAGING CHILDREN.

1t is somewhere related, that a poor
soldier having had his skull fractured,
was told by the doctor that his brains
were visible. az Do write to father" he
replied, " aud tell him of it, for he al
ways said 1 had no brains" How many
fathers and mothers tell their children
such, and how often does such remark
contribute not little to prevent any de-
velopment Of the brain. A grown up
person tells a child he is brainless, or
foolish, or blockhead, OF that ho is de-
ficient in some mental or moral faculty,
and nine cases out ten the statement is
believed, or it not fully believed, the
thought that it may be partially SO, act
like an incubus to repress the confidence
and energies of that child. Let any
person look back to ehildhood's days and
he can doubtless recall many words and
expressions which exerted such discour-
aging or encouraging influence over him,
as to tell upon his whole future course
of life -.---z..-sr
We knew an ambitious boy, whe, at
the age of ten years, had become so de-
pressed with fault-fnding and reproof,
h1bh
words, that at that early age he longed
for death to take him out of the world, in
which he conceived he had no abilities
to rise. But while all thus appeared
so dark around him, and he had SO often
been told of faults and deficiencies that
he seemed to himself the dullest and
worst of boys. and while none of his good
qualities had been mentioned, and he be-
lieved he had none, single word of
praise and appreciation, carelessly drop
ped in his hearing, changed his whole
course of thought. Wehave often heard
him say that g that word saved him.
The moment he thought he could do we'll,
he resolved that he would-and he has

BEANS FOR SOUP,

The use of beans as an article of food
is not so considerable as it should be.
Beans are the most nutrious9of all kinds
of food used by man. Chemical analy-
sis, and the experience of those who
make extensive use of them, demonstra-
tes this. Besides, they are the most
economical food which can be used for
the support of a family. Those who
find the times hard are most respectful
ly invited to try the experiment.
To provide an excellent dinner
healthful, palitahle and nutrious-take
a pint of beans with one gallon of water,
and the heef bones We are accustomed
to throw into the street Boil all to-
gether adding few potatoes if conve-
nient,) until the beans become soft

and dinner is ready. Such dinner

WOMEN AND MATRIM0NY.

Most women possess a talent, and by
no means an uneducated one, for matri-
mony. At first, with common-minded
girls, it evaporates in firtations; when
that does not do, they sink into the senti-
mental, quote poetry, and catch vulgar
colds in their heads by baying at the
moon," though, if they can help it, not
in sequestered1solitude." We have
known the sentimental continue after
thirty; but generally speaking, ladies
assume different character at that an
tiquated-maidsnly period they become

or scctarians, or-anything but rution-

the curtain from the glowing future
Night comes, that another morning with
all its glory and freshness, may dawn
upon the earth. Why then waste the
energies of youth in mourning over
graves? They will not give up their
dead already the spirit of the one
looks down upon us from blissful
spheres, and says, Be happyr to our
sorrowing hearts. Such a voice came
to the young widow She calledsreasoa
and faith to her aid She sa# herself
still blooming and attractive the same
inviting world lay all around her; she
longed for sympathy, for change, for
life. Her first matrimonial venture
proved a happy one; and the memory
thereof induced her to risk another voy-
age on wedloek's perilous sea. Thus il
might have been the very power of love
that bound her to her first husband,
which threw open the welcoming doors
to the advances of Dew .suitor.
Mr.. Harrington, merchant of Bos-
tou-a man of energy and upright char
aeter-made an offer of his hand. He
had himself enjoyed matrimonial expo
rience-was himself a parent-and was
we'll qualified to sympathize with the
young widow They sought mutual
consolation in marriage. But scarce was
the honeymoon oyer, when that mutual
consolation was followed by mutual sur
prise. Fanny learned to her sorrow
that ali husbands are not equally fond
and indulgent and the bridegroom dis
covered that Mrs. +. No. 2, was not the
exact counterpart of Mrs. F. No. Ii
The contrast was, in fact, SO vast and.
amazing, that it seemed to require soli-
tude and quiet, to consider it in all its
bearings. Accordingly, Mr.. Harrington
resorted to travel and change of scene,
journeyed westward, and has not since
been seen on the down-east slope of the
continent. The slender tie of affection
between the happy pair, thus long
drawn out, like thread of India rub
Der, finally snapped. From the auction
marts of one of our western courts, it is
said, that Mr.. Z. gave out three war
nings: cried" Going going gone I''

F. A Son OF THE GREAT NAPOLEON BE-
FORE SEvAsToPoL.-It is said that the
authority of Gen. Canrobert is not ques-
toned or hoggled at, as was that ofSt.
Arnaud. He is believed to be the son
of the Emperor Napoleon and of Mad
anne de Rainey. He passed the early
portion of his life in the enjoyment of
the ease and i,esouisance which a large
fortune can bestow, and it was not until
called from his life of dissipation to at.
tend upon the dying bed of his mother
that he learned the secret of his birth.
Imediately, notwithstanding the acces-
ST IN of fortune suddenly acquired by his
mothers death, Notwithstanding the
habit of idleness and luxury he had in
dulged in ever since his birth, he declar-
ed that, with such blood in his veins, he
should scorn to remain inactive. He
instantly set out for Algiers as a Voluu-
teer in the Chasseurs, and has risen by
slow degrees to the station he now occu-
pies. The moral effect of his relation
ship to the great Napoleon has been i'm
mense upon the troops under his COM
mand, and enabled him to obtain an as
sendency which ST. Arnaud never could
acquire. .

PUNCH TO THE LADIES.

SLEEVES AND most stu
pid and ugly fashions always last the
longest. Two years the long dresses
have swept the streets. For the last
twelve months bonnets have been flying
off the head, and so, probably they will
continue for twelve more. As to long
dresses there is something to be said for
them. They are convenient to aged
ladies'. They enable them to enjoy,
without attracting remark, the comfort
Of list slippers and rollers for their poor
old ankles. They render it possible for
young ladies to wear bleehes and high
lows, thereby avoiding damp feet, and
to save washing, by making one pair of
stockings last week So they will
doubtless continue to be worn while the
laws of fashion are dictated by a play,
footed beauty, or lady troubled with
bunions But this kind of apology can
not be made for hanging sleeves. They
are not only abs lr1, but inconvenient.
They are always getting in the way of
the sauce and butter boat. Your wife
cannot help you to a potatoe across the
table but she upsets her glass, and
breaks it with her dangling sleeves. 1t
may be said that your wife has no busi-
ness to hand potatoez-that there ought
to be footmen in attendance that pur
pose. Certainly, or else she should not
wear the sleeves. But ladies must, of
course, follow the height of fashion,
suitable to their circumstances
or not Could not the leaders of fash
ion, then, in pity to the less opulent
devise and sanction a kind of
sleeve adapted to life in q cottage
whether noar wood or elsewhere--to
be called cottage sleeves, and to be worn
by the genteel cottage classes without
prejudice to their gentility.

FERocITY OF RATs.-In giving an ac-
count of the storm in Boston on Friday,
the Chronicle Of that city says
At the wharres, owing to the high
water, large number of rats were killed
by unemployed laborera The vermin
were obliged to leave their holes or re-
main and be drownded, and as they ap.
peared, parties of Irishmea waiting for
jobs, chased them about the docks with
clubs and stones. In one instance the
men had driven two into an empty
building on Commercial street, where
there was no mode of egress except
through the door. Thistle men faster-
ed, aud and forming circle, drove the
animals into corner, ard prepared to
despatch them, The rats rendered des-
-perate, sprang at the throat of the near
est Irishman, and one succeeded in fas-
tening his long, sharp teeth in the mans
handkerchief which he wore around his
neck, and held his jaws firmly clasped
until killed. Luckily the handkerchief
was thick, SO that the animals teeth
did not touch the man'Nhroat. This
rats companion sprang at his intended
victim, missed him, and was knocked over
by club They y ere enormous large
fellows, and would have made dinner
