DOMESTIC TRAINING.

Permit US to say, to those mothers who
interest themselves in the education Of
their children, be assiduous early to i'm
plant domestic tastes in the minds of
your daughters. Let your little girl at
by your side with her needle. Do not
put her from you when you discharge
those emPloyments which are for the
comfort ofthe family. Let her take part
in them as far as her feeble hand is ca
pable. Teach her that this will be her
province when she becomes a woman.
Inspire her with desire to make all
around her comfortable and happy. In
struct her in the rudiments Of that sci
ence whose results are so beautiful.
Teach her that not selfish gratiicstion,
but the good of household, the improve
ment of even the humblest dependent,
is the business of her sex. When you
walk out to call on your friends, some
times take her with you; especially if
you visit the aged, or go on n-erraDds of
mercy to the sick and poor, let her be
your companion. Allow her to sit by
the side of the sufferer, a0d learn those
nursing services which afford relief to
him. Associate her with you. Make
her your friend. Purify and perfect
your own example for her sake. And
while you mingle with domestic training,
and with the germ of benevolence, .
knowledge Of the world of books, to
which it viii be sweet privilege to in.
troduce her, should you be able to add
not single fashionable accomplishment,
still be continually thankful in shielding
her from the contagion ofevil example.

JANE JOHNSON AND COL.
WHEELER.

The trial of the negroes who were in
dicted for riot in freeing Col. Wheeler's
slaves from the restraints he put upon
them, has Just closed in Philadelphia.
Col. Wheeler, after having first given
out that he had sailed for Nicaragua,
made his appearance on the witness
stand, and told his story as strongly as
he could against the negroes. If his
presence there was unexpected by the
friends of the defendants, still more so to
him was the sudden appearance of JANE
JOHNSON, the woman he claims as his
slave, as witness against him. A cor.
respondent of the Tribune says:
+" QaifS a thrilling scene took place in
Judge Kelly's Court to-day during the
trial of the Wheeler case. Yesterday
the counsel fer the Commonwealth had
it all their own way, and their testimony
went far to show that the woman Jane
was forced away against her will--thaL
of Col. Wheeler was especially full and
circumstantial, to this effect. In the ab-
sence ofthe woman, the only person COM
petent to testify fully to the question of
voluntariness, the Col. could afford to be
particularly strong but, presto in the
midst of proceedings this forenoon Jane
Johnson appeared in Court. She came
in escorted by an officer and aceompan-
led by Mrs. Mott, Mrs. McKim, Miss.
Pugh and Mrs. Plumby. She was put
on the stand, and her testimony utterly
and entirely destroyed that of Col.
Wheeler and his witnesses. Her evil
dence was clear and Just to the point,
reiterating in the most satisfactory man
ner all she said in her affidavit at New
York"
BUTT wasabold and a perilous move on
the partofher friends, and the deepest ap.
prehensions were felt for while for the
result. The United States Marshal was
there with his warrant and an extra force
to execute it. The officers of the Court
and other State officers were there to
protect the witnesses and vindicate the
laws of the State. Vanyke, the United
States District-Attorney, swore he would
take her. The State officers swore he
should not, and for while it seemed that
nothing could avert bloody scene. 1t
was expected that the conflict would take
place at the door when she should leave
theroom, sothat when she and her friends
went out, and for some time after, the
most intense suspense peryaded the
courtroom. She was however allowed
to enter the carriage that waited for her
without disturbance. She was accom-
panied by Mr.. McKim, Secretary of the
Anti-Slavery Society. Lucretia Mott and
George Corson, one our most manly and
intrepid police officers. The carriage
was followed by another filed with off,
GERS as a guard, and thus escorted she
was taken back in safety to the house
from whence she had been brought.
Her title to freedom under the laws of
the State will hardly again be brought
into question.

GOOD HUMoR.

Keep IN good humor. 1t is not great
calamities that embitter existence, it ia
the petty vexatiOns and jealousies, the
little disappointments, and the minor
miseries,' that make the heart heavy
and the temper sour. Don't let them
Anger is pure waste Of vitality. 1t helps
nobody. and hinders everybody. 1t is
always foolish, and always disgraceful,
except In some rare cases when it is kim
died by seeing wrong done to another ;
and even that. noble rage seldom mends
the matter. Keep in good humor.
No man does his best except when he
is cheerful. A light heart makes nim-
BILE hands and keeps the mind free and
alert. No misfortune is so great syone
that sours the temper. Till cheerfulness
is lost, nothing is lost. Keep in good
humor.
The company of good humored man
is a perpetual feast. He is welcome
everywhere. Eyes glisten at his ap-
proach, and difficulties vanish in his
cheering presence. Franklin's indomit-
able good humor did as much for his
country in the old Congress as Adams
fire or 'Jeferson's wisdom. He clothed
wisdom with smiles and soflened con-
tentious minds into acquiescence. Keep
in good humor.
A good conscience. sound stomach,
and clear skin are the elements of good
humOr. Get them, keep them, in good
humor

HEAVEN.


Oh, Heaven is nearer than mOrtals think
When they look with trembling dread
At the misty iuture that stretches on
From the silent home of the dead
'Tis no lone isle in a boundless main,
No brilliant but distant shore,
Where the loved ones who are called away
Must go to return no more
No,-Heaven is near US the misty veil
or mortality blinds the eye,
That we see not even the angel-bands
On the shores of eternity.
Yet oft, in the hours of holy thought,
To the thirsty soul is given
The power to pierce through the mists OF sense
To the beauteous scenes of Heaven.
Then very near seem its Pearly gates.
And sweetly its harPings fall;
Till the soul is restless to soar away,
And longs for the angelcall.
know. when the silver cord is lOosed,
When the veil is rent away,
Not long and dark shall the passage be
To the realms Of endless day.
The eye that shuts in dying hour,
VIII open the next in bliss
The welcome will sound in a heavenly world,
Ere the farewell is hushed in this.
We pass from the clasp of mourning friends,
To the arms of the loved and lost:
And those smiling faces will greet US then,
Which on earth we have valued most.

UPRIeHT MEN.-We love upright men.
Pull them this way and the other, and
they only bend, but never break. Trip
them down, and in trice they are on
their feet again. Bury them in the mud.
and in an hour they would be out and
bright. You cannot keep them down
you cannot destroy them. They are the
salt of the earth. Who but they start
any noble project? They build our
cities, whiten the ocean with their sails,
and blacken the heavens with the smoke
oftheir cars. Look TO them. young men.
and catch the spark of their energy
