THE MIssINo STEAMER PAcIFIc,-
With the close of to-day will be COM
pleted tho same period Of time during
which the community on this side OF the
water were without any tidings OF the
Collins steamer Atlantic. 1t will be
40 days to-day since the Pacific left
Liverpool for New York. What shall
be said of her Does the Pacific float,
and is she safe in some port abroad, or
where is she now' We will still hspe,
although it cannot be disguised, that
hope is not unmixed with fear for her
safety. Yet we know not what day
may bring forth. 1t is not to be sup
posed that Capt. Eldridgo met with
precisely the same incidents that bsfel
Capt West in the Atlantic therefore
the delay of the one can be no criterion
to reckon by for the other.
An icy barrier lay in the track Of the
Pacific in extraordinary quantities and
extent. The Atlantic was exposed tc
nothing of the sort.
Suppcsing the Pacific to have gone
into Fayal, it would be too early now to
expect news from her, inasmuch as the
latest news from that quarter is only {
week subsequent to the missing steam
sr's leaving Liverpool.
Now, after all, may not the double
casualty have happened to the Pacific
namely, that she has been caught in the
ice, become disabled in her engines,
and thus situated, is still at the mercy
Of the elements.
The Insurance on the Pacific, is very
large; the amount on the ship lis $780,
600, half in the United States and half
in Europe the freight money is insured
for $4,000. Her cargo consisted OF
six or seven hundred tons, valued at
S 100000. Most of this was insured
The total insurance amounts to over

pS- A single pew in the King'r
Chapel ( Unitarian was sold by auction
yesterday by Colonel Thompson fol
$1,000. 1t was one Of the best pews in
tho church, being in the broad aisle, tho
fourth pew from the reading desk and
pulpit. The Daily Advertiser remarks
that the sum paid for this pew is suili
cicnt to build II whole meeting house in
some parts of the country. Pew prop
erty in our city churches nuctuates in
value more than almost any other dss-
eription Of property. At the recent
settlement Of the estate Of q merchant
deceased, his pew, which cost thous-
and dollars, was appraised to be worth
ten dollars, which was JUST ten dollars
above the market value. - Boston Tran

After many weary days and sloepless
nights, Smith determined to seek the
object of his alteration, and make dec

Smith arose earlier than was his won't

mansion Of the fair one, and reached il
at the time when he supposed she would
be disengaged. He rang, and was
shown into an elegant drawing room in
which splendid mirrors, reaching to the
floor, reflected his entire person. Smith
was greatly intimidated when he handed
his card to the servant, and had scarce
ly time to compose himself before the
lady made her appearance. She re-
ceived her aaorer with great COZ ordiality,
which so strengthened our horo's cour-
age that he dropped on his knees at her
feet, and begged her to bcstow upon
him the love he came to solicit. The
lady smiled, and turned round just as a
gentleman was entering the room and
replied, as she presented him to the
fallen man. THIS is my husband ask

psrisnced something of this state Of feel
ing-and what parent is there who, us-
less it be such as have lost tho best part
Of humanity, has not had to regret the
sudden sbullitons of passion, and their
delsterisus effects on the child The
love of power seems to be almost inhsr-
ent in human nature, and unless it be
held in subjectien BY reason and a sense
of justice it is too prone to enter int
the transactions Of everyday life, and
more especially the exercise Of parental
discipline. How seldom it is that We
hear parent ask child to perform a
duty. Many seem to feel it beneath
their dignity, if indeed they feel at all
on the subject, to request thing which
they feel that they can with impunity
demand. If, for instance, the father
wishes the little son to 60 of an srrand,
the usual form is" Jehn,--(with q
gruff psrsmptory tone go to the post
Office and see if there is letter for nae
and be quick about it, mono of your
lettering, if you do, you know what to
expect when ysu return" And yet
there is scarcely head of family
we might say not one who has right to
hold such position-who will not ac-
knowledge that it would be q much bet
ter way, and ono having far more sal
utary effect on both parent and child,
if in the above supposed case the father
should, with a tone showing a regard
for the feelings of the child, adopt the
milder form of the request" John,
will you see if there is letter in the
post Office for me don't be gone long,
for you know it is almost school tims. !"
OFF bounds the boy, with wings to his
feet and sunshine in his heart, eager to
confer favor on loved father, and to
receive the smile of appreciation which
he knows awaits his return, and is back
almost before he is missed whereas in
the first case, he knows that the chances
are ten to one that he will get scold-
ing even if he does his best, and to
adopt familiar illustration, be feels
that he "may as we'll be hung for an
old sheep as for lamb" besides hav-
ing had produced in his mind desire
for revenge for the injustice which he
feels has been done him, which he can
best crafty by loitcring-doing the very
thing which he was commanded not to
do. The fact is, children have an acute
sense Of justice-much more so than
they generally get credit for; and prob
ably for more than they retain in after
life, when their finsy sensibilities have
been bluntsd by contract with older
minds. With slight alteration, the
words Of Cswpsr might be very appro-
priatcly applied to this subject
