GETTING UP IN THE MORNING.--The
hour we get up in the morning very much
depends on the hour we went to bed the nj ght
before. tits pretty evident that nature made
mistake when she calculated the suns 60
ing down, or else some of the present gene
ration are sadly in fault about retiring to rest,
and no less so in regard to getting up
What waste of beauty, what 4 waste Of
music, happiness and health, to sleep out the
morning hours? Reader, did you ever live
in the country, and in the month of June
get up about half:past three o'clock in the
morning? There is no other hour like that
in the whole twenty-four; It's full of in
cense, full of music, full of heaven, full of
inspiration. Weshould think, if ever angels
came to earth, they would come then; and
we fancy they do, for the air is full of fra
GRANGE, every grove has its orchestra and
such pieces as they play, too! Not an in
strument is out of tune, not note out of
time. Such pieces! No Mozart, no Beetho-
ven could play them
Every leaf, and twig, and flower, sparkles
with dew We fancy there has been hail
storm of diamonds! Talk of the splendors
of royalty! The pomp of wealth and the
glitter of gold! Did you ever see and real
ize June morning? Then you will know
better what estimate to put upon a jewellers
shop! Did you ever get one breath Of air
into your lungs from suchan incense breath
ing morn?' If you did, you felt an inspi-
ration more of heaven than Of earth. ~
wake, 0 sleeper! Such scenes occur nearly
every day, and you lose the sight. You burn
your life out with gas, and sleep it ont by
sunlight, thus shortening it at both ends;
wake up with dull, heavy headache, bitter
drcd-up mouth, and trembling limbs. The
late hours, late suppers late going to bed,
and late getting up, are enough 10 make Il
man late all his life time, and he may think
himself well oif if he is not late at heavens
door, Mothers should not try to make their
children sleep in the morning. Give them
very little supper and put them to bed early.
They will be enough better natured through
the day to pay for it, so that in the end you
will do just as much work as if they slept in
the morning.

nothing, determined to watch his opportunity
to return, for the cruel modification, change
in her own coin. He waited but moment,
ere plate of dried beef was handed to the
lady, who unccremoniously took some in her
fingers, and placed it upon her plate.
"Wait-ta," exclaimed the gentlemen in
turn, "bring another plate of beef, this 'co-
man has had her fingers in this
A most ungallant roar from all the COM
pany fairly turned the tables against the lady,
and she had the good sense to acknowledge
its desert, and join heartily in the mirth it
created.

UNANIMOUSLY RETURNED.-The extra
Congressional election for the oath District
is over, and Preston S. Brooks is of course
unanimously returned to the seat he lately
occupied in the Federal House of Represen-
tatives. We are unable to say what has
been the strength of his vote among the
the people at large. At this place the turn
out was very full considering that the cleo
ton came off in such hot weather and at so
quiet time But whatever may be the
strength of his vote, it is perfectly certain
that his whole constituency sympathise with
and applaud his spirited course of conduct.
They not only believe that the castigation
of Chas. Sumner was entirely justi6able but
they take pride in pointing to their own gal
liant representative as the man who inflicted
it, 1t is not mere cold endorsement on
their part, but an active, warm, demonstra-
tive approval We have ourselves heard
hundreds of his constituents speak of the
whole affair with the quivering lip and fash
ing eyes of most cordial sympathy. Not
one have we seen, who ever seemed to think
it wrong. For Edgefeld especially, we speak
with emphasis. She says to her member
"Well done good and faithful servant"
If necessary she would add-"Hit 'em a
gain" And she wishes it to 60 out to our
enemies at the North, in manner palpable
and unmistakeable, that her noble son is
more cherished than ever for the righteous
blows be has so resolutel laid on in defenccy
of South Cardinals fame and Senator But
ler's honor. She approves, she applauds;
and now she exults in returning her repre-
sentative Immediately and unanimously to
to the Congress in which he has stood forth
before the country as true gentleman and
a high-souled atriot.--EdgfeW Adverti-
ser.

THE TABLE TURNED.--Somc time since,
on one of the North River boats, lady who
had attracted much attention for the mascu-
line turn of her manners and conversation
was seated at the table opposite gentleman
who in taking some butter, in the absence Of
the usual knife, used his own, which the
lady observing, called aloud to the waiter:
"Wait-ta bring another plate of butter;
that man (pointing to the gentleman had his
knife in this !"
The unfortunate wight almost sunk under
the curious gaze of all the company, but said

was buried the next day. The child and

how she happened to stray on the dismal

HOW TO BE MISERABLE.

Sit at the window and look over the way
to your neighbors's excellent mansion, which
he has recently built and paid for, and sigh
out, ooh that I was rich man % Get
angry with your neighbor, and think you
have not got friend in the world. Shed a
tear or two, take walk in the burial ground,
continually saying to yourself, "When shall
I be buried here?" Sign note for your
friend, and never forget your kindness land
every hour in the day whisper to yourself,
81 wonder if he will pay that note Think
everybody means to cheat you. Closely ex-
anime every bill you take, and doubts its
being genuine, till you have put the owner
to great deal of trouble. Believe every
shilling passed to you is sixpcnce crossed,
and express your doubts about getting rid
of it, if you should take it. Put confidence
in nobody and believe every man you trade
with to be rogue. Never accommodate,
if you. can possibly help it. Never visit the
sick or afflicted, aud never give a t;rthing
to the poor. Buy as cheap as you can, and
screw down to the lowest mill Grind the
faces and the hearts of the unfortunate -
Brood over your misfortunc-your lack of
talents, and believe at no di"tant day you
will come to want Let the workhouse be
ever in your mind, with all the horrors OF
distress and poverty. Then you will be
miserable to your hearts contents, (if we
may so speak, sick at heart and at variance
with all the world Nothing will cheer or
encourage you; nothing will throw a CLEAN
of sunshine or ray of warmth into your
heart. All will be as dark and cherries as
the grave

NOVEL MoDE OF REGIsToRATIoN.-W
copy the following from document which
has just been handed us, (Northcrn Ensign }
and which, we are assured, contains veri-
table narrative of facts There is an honest
farmer man, as the term is, in the parish
Wattcn, who had adopted very original
and curious mode Of registering the births of
his children The blank leaf of the Bible,
as it ought to be, is the register; but instead
of the birth being recorded, the event is
marked by a reference to some notable oc-
currencc or other that took place in the par
ish on or about that time. He records them
in this manner -
'Wir Betty was born on day the John
Cathcl lost his gray mare in the moss
Jennie was born the day they began
mending the reef O. the kirk
SANDY was born the day my mother broke
her leg and the day afore Kitty gacd ava
wi the sodgers
The twins, Willie and Marget, was born
the day Sandy Bremner bigsit his new barn,
and the very day after the battle O Water
loo.
Nirtsy was born the night O. the great
feeht on the Rccdsmas in Barlan, atwecn
Peter Donaldson and south-country drover.
Forbye, the factor raised the rent the same

Halle, son of the late Hon. Lev; Halle, chief
justice of the Supreme Court of Rhode Is

leaving directions for his funeral, which were
strictly followed; He wished to be dressed
for the grave in his best suit of clothes, and
to wear a new pair Of gaiter boots that he had
recently purchased. His pocket-book, which
contained several dollars, he requested to
have placed in his pocket where he was ac-
customed to keep it, and the contents of his
vest pocket, even to the Insignificant tooth
picker, he asked to have deposited with him
in the grave, and bunch of cigars, to the
number of dozen, to be placed by his side.

THE SHADOWS OF CHILDHooD.-God
bless the little children! We like their
bright eyes, theirhappy faces, their winning
ways, their rosy dreams! Nothing seems to
weigh down their buoyant spirits long; mis-
fortunes may fall to their lot, but the shad-
ows it cast upon their life 18th are heeting
as the clouds that come and GO in an April
sky. Their future may, pcrchance, appear
dark to others, but to their fearless gaze it
looms up brilliant and beautiful as the walls
of fairy palace. There is no tear which Il
mothers gentle hand cannot heal, no an
grish, which the sweet murmuring of her
soft, low voice cannot soothe. The warm
generous impulses Of their nature have not
been fettered and cramped by the cold for
malitieS of the world, they have not yet
learned to veil hollow heart with false
smiles, or hide the bascst purposes beneath
honcyed words. Neither are they constant
ly on the alert to search out our faults and
foibes with Argus eyes; on the contrary,
they exercise that blessed charity which
.sthinketh no evil"

A Young MANS CHARACTER.-Noy young
man who has just sense of his own value
will sport with his own character. A watch
full regard to his character in early youth will
be of inconceivablc value to him in all the
remaining yeals of his life. When tempt
cd to deviate from strict propriety of deport-
ment he should ask himself, "Can I afford
this ?"
1t is of amazing worth to young man to
have pure mind for this is the foundation
of pure character. The mind, in order to
be kept pure, must be employed in topics
of thought which are themselves lovely,
chastened, and elevating. Thus the mind
hath in its own power the selection of its
themes of meditation. If youth only knew
how durable and how dismal is the injury
produced by the indulgence of degraded
thoughts-if they only realized how fright
full were the moral depravities which cher
ished habit of loose imagination produces
on the Soul-they would shun them as the
bite of serpent. The power of books to
excite the imagination is fearful element
of moral death when employed in the SER
vice of vice.
The cultivation Of an amiable, elevated,
and glowing heart alive to all the beauties
of nature and all the sublimities of truth,
invigorates the intellect, gives to the will in
dependence of bascr passions, and to the
affections that power of adhesion to whatev-
er is pure, and good, and grand, which is
adapted to lead out the whole nature of man
into those scenes of action and impression
by which its energies may be most appropri-
atcly employed, and by which its high des-
tination may be most effectually reached.
The opportunities of exciting these facul-
ties in benevolent and self-denying efforts
for the welfare of our fellow men, are so
many and great that it is really worth while
to live. The heart that is truly evangelical
ly benevolent, may luxuriate in an age like
this. The promises of God are inexpressibly
rich, the main tendencies OF things so man.
ifestly in accordance with them, the extent
of moral influence is so great, and the effects
of its employment so visible, that whoever
aspires after benevolent action and reaches
forth for things that remain for us, to the
true dignity of his nature can find free scope
for his intellect, and all inspiring themes for
the heart
