DIscouRAc1NG cH1LDHooD.-lt is some.
where related that poor soldier, having had
his skull fractured, was told by the doctor
that his brains were visible. " Do write to
father" he replied, and tell him of it, for
he always said | had no brains" How
many fathers and mothers tell their children
such and how often does such remark
contribute not little to prevent any devel-
opment of the brain A grown-up person
tells child he is brainless or foolish, or
that he is deficient in some mental or moral
faculty, and nine cases out of ten the state.
ment is believed, or if not fully believed, the
thought that it may be partially so, acts like
an incubus to repress the confidence and
energies of that child Let any person look
back to chidhood's days, and he can doubt.
less recall many words and expressions which
exerted such discouraging or encouraging
influence over him as to tell upon his whole
future course of life. We knew an ambitious
boy, who, at the age Of ten years, had be:
come so depressed with fault.fnding and
reproof, not duly mingled with encouraging
words, that at an early age he longed Tor
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 his faults
and deficiencies that he seemed to himself
the dulest and worst Of boys-and while
none of his good qualities or capabilities had
been mentioned, and he believed he had
none, single word of praise and apprecia'
ton, carelessly dropped in bis hearing, chan
ged his whole course Of thought. We have
often heard him say that "that word saved
him." The moment he thought he could do
well, he resolved that he woodland he has
done well. Parents, these are important
considerations. Sometimes encourage your
children without an If. Do not always tell
them they can be good or can do well if
they will do thus or SO we'll, and that there
is nothing to hinder them.-American Agr-
culturist.

A ROMANCE IN REAL L1FE.-A wedding
took place in Bristol, England, few weeks
since, under somewhat romantic circum.
stances, realizing the old adage, that "'rruth
is strange; stranger than fiction" ltap-
pears that sister of Mrs. ~, who resides
at Montpelier, some two or three years
since, married merchant, and emigrated to
California soon afterward, with a view of
bettering their fortunes, taking with her the
likeness of an unmarried sister. The pic.
ture happened to be hung in very conspic.
uous part of their house in California, and
attracted the attention of a rich resident of
that district, who happened to pay a visit TO
the house. He was euraptured with the
image of the fair unknown, and exclaimed
"By Jove, III marry that girl if she is to
be found in the world"
He was told where she resided, and he
posted to her note inclosing present OF
forty pounds sterling, and few days since
a knock was heard at the door, and on the
young lady going to open it, agood looking
bronzed-featured gentleman rushed into the
house and gave ehaste salute, exclaiming
that he had come from the other end Of the
world to find her, at the same time pulling
out the likeness which first led him to seek
his attraction. OF course they were mar
ried, and are TO " live long and die happy"
rs usual.

K1ss1SG.-A writer in the N. o. Picayune
says:
No luxury that the market affords seems
liable to more sudden changes, and more
uuaccountable rises aud depressions, than
kissing. Cotton can't begin to be circum-
stance to it. Sugar aud molasses can't bear
any competition with it. We are altogether
at loss to account for this state of affairs.
Whether it is owing to the climate, to the
season, to the men or to the women, we
know not, and should like to know. A very
pretty little girl informed us last night, that
in her opinion, it was shameful to make men,
especially good.looking men like we are,
pay so much for Il kiss. We concurred,
and immediately-came down to record
the estimated value of one smack in Roches.
ter, New York. 1t will be remembered that
last sumer, very learned adjudication was
made in our city upon this subject, and
that since that period legal estimate has
been made in Boston The tariff Of kisses
j. now, in Be ston, ten dollars; in Roches.
ter, New York, seven dollars; in New Or
leans, five dollars! Thank Heaven! we
live in New Orleans, and from the depths OF
our pocket-book pity those bachelors OF
Boston and Rochester.
The edtress OF the Ladies Repository,
a very sensible and lovable woman we have
no doubt, from the following paragraph, also
on kissing, says:
Kisses, like faces of philosophers, vary.
Some are as hot nc coal fire. some sweet as
honey, some mild as milk, some tasteless as
long drawn Soda Stolen kisses are said to
have more nutmeg and cream than other
sorts. As 10 proposed kisses, they are not
liked at all A stolen kiss is the most agreea.
Lle. We have been kissed few times, and
as we are not very old, we hope to receive
many more"

HINTS TO You've FARMER.-Make it a
rule to read little every day,even if it be but
single sentence. A short paragraph will
often afford you profitable source of re.
Election for whole day. For this purpose
your agricultural paper is admirably adapted.
Keep it always within your reach, so that
you may lay your hand upon it at any mo-
ment when you are about the house. We
know a large family that has made it
selfintimately acquainted with history, pro.
badly more than any family in the United
States, by the practice of having one of the
children-each one taking a week by turns
read every morning while the rest were at
breakfast.
