MANAGEMENT OF CHILDREN.-There are

hilarity Of childhood as if they were the
exception and not the rule; and in short
trying to crush out the tendency to evil,

only in too great proportion. The other
method, taking into view the elements Of

CURRANs INGENU1rY.-A farmer attend
ing Z fair with hundred pounds in his peck.
ct took the pzecaution Of depositing It in.
the hands Of The landlord Of the public house
at which he stopped. Having occasion for
il shortly afterwards, he resorted to mine
host for payment. But the landlord, too
deep for the countryman, wondered what
he meant, and was quite sure no such sum
had ever been lodged in his hands by the
astonished rustic. After Intellectual ap.
peals to the recollection, and finally to the
honor of Bardolph, the farmer applied to
Curran for advice.
Have patience my friend" said the coun.
selor, "speak to the landlord civi ly-tell him
you have left your money with some other
person. Take friend with you and lodge
with him another hundred in the presence
Of your friend and come to me-"
Heidi so and returned to his legal friend.
And now / can't see how am going to
be the better of for this, if got my second
hundred back again; but how is that to be
done?"
"Go and ask him for It when he is alone, "
said the counsel.
AYE sir, asking won't do I'm afraid, with
out my witness at any rate"
'Never mind, take my advice" said the
counsel-"do as bid you and return to
me-"
The farmer returned with his hundred,
glad to find that safely in his possession.
snow sir, l must be content, but l don't
see I'm much better off,"
well, then" said the council, "now take
your friend with you, and ask the landlord
for the hundred pounds your friend saw you
leave with him."
We need not add that the willy landlord
found he had been taken off his guard, while
our honest friend returned to thank his
counsel, exultingly, with both hundred in
his pocket.

WASHINGTON AND HIS MoTHER.-As i
had been popularity known, for severa
weeks before the votes of the electors were
officially canvassed, that Washington was
unanimously chosen President, his prepar
atoms for entering upon the duties of the
Office were all completed before the arri
val of Mr.. Thompson at Mount Vernon, on
the fourteenth Of April. In a letter to
General Knox, he says, GAS to myself this
delay may be compared to reprieve; for
in confidence tell you, with the world it
would obtain little credit,) that my move
ments to the seat Of government will be
accompanied with feelings not unlike those
Of culprit who is going to the place Of
execution, SO unwilling am I, in the eve
ming Of life nearly consumed in public
cares, to quit peaceful abode for an ocean
of difficulties" He, however informed Mr..
Thompson that at the end of two days he
would be ready to accompany him, and in
the meantime paid visit to his venerable
mother in Fredericksburg. On coming in
to her presence, "The people, madam, have
been pleased, with most flattering unanimi-
ty, to elect me to the chief magistracy of
the United State; but before can assume
the functions of that Office, have come to
bid you an affectionate farewell. So soon
as the public business, which must necessa-
rily be encountered in arranging new gov
eminent can be disposed OF, shall hasten
to Virginia, and"- Here she interrupted
him: "You will see me no more" she said;
"my great age, and the disease that is rap
idly approaching my vitals, warn me that
! shall not be long in this world. l trust
in God am somewhat prepared for bet
ter. But go, George; fulfil the high desti-
MES which Heaven appears to assign you:
go, my son, and may that Heavens and
your mothers blessing be with you always"
He was deeply affected his head rested
on the shoulder of his aged parent, whose
arm feebly yet fondly encirclcd his neck.
The scene was full Of the most touching
sablimity. Both the mother and son were
dissolved in tears at the thought that they
were embracing each other for the last
time. There is no fame in the world more
pure than of the mother of Washington;
and no woman, since the mother of Christ,
has left better claim to the affectionate
reverence of mankind.
In his diary he wrote on the evening of
the sixteenth: About 10 o'clock l babe
adieu to Mount Vernon, to private life, and
to domestic felicity; and, with mind OBJ
pressed with more anxious and painful
sensations than | have words to express,
set out for New York, with Mr.. Thompson
and Colonel Humphreys, with the best dis
position to render service to my country in
obedience to its call, but with less hopes of
answering its expectations. '-OHve Branch.

UNITED STATES REVIEW e. STATE
RIGHTS REGISTER.
| IN CONNECTION with the usual matter
political and literary, contained in the UNI
TED STATES REVIEW, we intend to republsh all
the state papers extant on the question of state
rights as announced in the Virginia Resolutions
Of 1913 and 100. The publication will embrace
also the works of standard writer's, such as
John Taylor of Caroline, whose works are now
nearly ont of print. These valuable political
data will be carefully collected, and when COM
plcted, will furnish a complete constitutional
history Of our Federal Union. The subscrip-
ton list of the .State-Rights Register" (the
prospectus of which was issued under the ap::
probation Of the Democratic members and
senator's in congress) will be furnished regular
ly with the Repiew from this date, and we hope
each subscriber will feel that he is performing
a duty to great and sacred political principle
by extending the list of names already on our
books.
1t is time for us to go go back to those pure
principles upon which the great fabric of de-
mocracy rests; principles originated and defined
by those who created, and best understood the
true meaning of the constitution. 1t is time
that the friends of state sovereignty should raj
ly around some common nucleus to resist the
wild latitudnarianism of the age, and evident
tendency of the republic towards concentration
to end at best in a mixed monarchy. 1t is
time for each states-rights man to feel that he
must give his own personal individual influence
to the defense Of the very cornerstone of our
constitutional government.
We send the Review to the subscribers of
the State-Rights Register, and feel confident
that they will respond heartily to the call
The true Democracy have great battle to
fight great principle Of selfgovernment to
uphold, an inspired Constitution to defend.
May each one Of us feel that it is an individual
duty.
