Amelioration of Slavery.

When laws are passed in all the Southern
States legalizing marriage among slaves, pre-
serving the relations between parents and their
young children, and allowing to all the ad-
vantages of education, some of the most cry
ing evils Of slavery will have been removed.
Every true philanthropist must bid God speed
TO the efforts which are making in some of the
Southern States to bring about this result
The Port Gibson Miss Reveille says in con-
ton with this subject
The project now being agitated BY the
people Of North Carolina, and soon to be car
ried before the Legislature of that State, is
one which, we think, 10 say the least of it,
will create sensation. 1t is, LIST, TO render
legal ths institution of marriage among slaves !;
I'd, to preserve sacred the relations between
parents and their young children; and Sd, to
repeal the laws prohibiting the education Of
slaves. If this modification of the law is made
in North Carolina, as we are informed i, prob
ably will be, other States will, no doubt. take
the matter into consideration. The main feat
sFes OF the movement have been adopted in
practice, or at least approved in theory, by
nearly all our planters, SO far as Circumstance
es would allow; and we cannot but think the
modification is well worth The serious consiG-
Grafton of every Southern man. Should the
Southern people think proper, after due in
vestigation, TO adopt the regulation in each of
the slave States, slavery will then be regard.
ed in an entirely new light. and the enemies
Of the institution will be robbed of,their most
fruitful and plausible excuses for agitation
and complaint. There may be, however, evils
to contend with and objections to be answered
Ia the adoption Of such modification. We
therefore leave the subject open for future con-
sidsration, and in the mean time invite a free
examination of the subject by our readers

How to Cure a frettine Child.

One of cur little boys, from the interior of
me Sfate, came TO us in an extremely unman-
sgeable condition. His mother said 10 me that
she could do nothing with him !; that if every
thing be wished for was not granted at once,
he would keep the house in complete state Of
confusion and that there was no qniet except
when he was asleep. Tha;.he was never
known to obey any one but bis father, and then
never except his commandwas accompanied Sy
a severe threat. Mr.. and Mrs. - said they
would be glad TO leave their son with US, if we
thought We could manage him. Whips and
rods have neuer been used as a means Of bring
ing our children to obedience !; and we had ne
notion OF ressrting To them new, notwitbstan-
ding the mothers Recommendation to ths con-
trary. We met this liule Fellow precisely a.
we think every other child should be met whu
has similar disposition. His crying, scream
ing, and stamping were Of no avail. Whaley.
er was proper for him was granted, what wa,
not proper was withheld BY this mode d
treatment, for day OF two, he began In lsarr
the important lesson, that he was happier whsr
obeying than disobeying. Thus with pen,le
ness mingled with firmness, we have eomp,e,e
~ conquered him so that now he is kind, al
fectionats, orderly and obedient.- His unhap
py, fretful disposition has given way and
exhibits marked change in his character; nc
only in outdoor sports, but in school, whsr
he will go through the severest drill with eal
nestness, attention and real deligM.-Repo,

Be careful of your money!

When you are short of money!

But do not shut sweet Mersy's doors
when sorrow pleads or want implores
To help to heal Msfortune's sores,
Be careful of your money .-
To help the poor whe seek your door.

And live in sweet ccntentments cots

DoDeINe CANNON BALL.-One Of the Eng
lish newspaper correspondents in the Crimea
says;
Yesterday was on the French side, ap-
Pareniiy out Of range, when large ball swep,
by me 10 the left, and bounded over mound Of
stones on which / had been standing. When j,
jumped over the mound there were about twen-
~ soldiers sitting on it, but they saw it COM
and the little clouds of dust which it knocked
up showed us its progress. Every one, ,herc-
fore, nm the mound had time TO dodge it. but
when it fell the last time, it continued rsllng
on for about quarter Of a mile.
Soon after it commenced rolling il went
through a string Of men. who were coming
from the trenches, and who had their backs to-
wards the ball as it approached them.
thuughi several would have been knocked over
like nine pins, and ran towards them, but not
one was touched. Some one who got off the
mound shouted, and either that or the noise Of
the ball itself attracted their attention, and,
running in various directions, they made pas
sage for it, and, with all manner of comic sal
utations, let the Russian messenger 60 on its
course, without attempting to Interrupt. IT

An ANEcDoTE OF CALvIN.-The late Al
bert Gallatin, President of the Historical So
ciety, related the following anecdote to the
Hon. Gulian c. Verplanck, from whom we get
it. Several years ago, number of Calvin's
letters were found among the archives of &C.
neva, some of which, relating to his domestic
affairs, exhibits curious picture of the daily
life of this great Presbyter, and illustrate
strikingly his peculiar habits and temper. In
a scolding letter to the syndies, or magistrates,
Of Geneva, he complains that they have filled
his cellar with wine of poor quality. Il do not
keep open house, he says, nor do entertain
many guests at my table, and therefore the
quantity you have sent me displeases me, as
we'll as the quality. wish, therefore, you
would take it away, and replace it with some
thing that can drink do not want much,
merely enough for my own use, and that Of
my family; few barriques, (barrsls Of about
forty gallons each,) say four of five, will be
sufficient for me, once a quarter"

DREss. The honorable Miss Murray, sis
ter Of a Scotch Duke, and maid of honor to
Queen Victoria, has been staying for rome
days in New York. Miss Murray is a lady
of fine person, robust health, and uncommon
energy of character-sgsd about thirty-fve
years. Her frank and cordial manners, her
intelligence and great kindness of heart, Sc
cured her many friends. She appears, how
ever, to have been struck with amazement at
the extravagant expenditure, the hetplessness,
and the i'll health of that unfortunate class of
beings, the fashionable women of our cit
les. The fashionable women of Europe,
dress so plainly that it probably costs them
less to dress a whole year, than many New
York lady expends for half dozen handker-
chiefs. II is a settled thing in Europe, that
extravaganza in dress is the very extreme of
vulgarity, and is never INDUCED in except by
those whose only claim to distinction is their
length of purse

FAcTs ABOUT BULLETS. We are finding
out all sorts of curious things about bullets and
wounds. 1t appears that bullet, instead OF
going straight through man in defiance of
all obstacles, is diverted from its course BY a
very slight circumstance. A writer gives an
instance in which bullet entered on the side
of the head, passed round beneath the scalp
and fell out upon the opposite side, as though
1t had passed directly through the brain: In
another instance bullet struck the Adam
APPLE passed eRtirely round the neck, and
lodged in the orifce by which it entered. A
soldier being struck in the right arm, the ball
was found beneath the skin of the opposite
thigh and in another, who was wounded in
the ankle when running, the bullet was found
above the knee.
