The Printer.

The night grows late, the streets are
hushed-the moonbeams feck the deserted
pavement-and sleep strews its slumbering
popies over the inhabitants of the city. All
are at rest save the printer, who is busy at
his case.
Dreams, lovely as winged cherubs, how
er about the repose of man, and maiden;
visions pure as first lilies and beautiful as
the matron and the child-but to the prin-
ter all is reality, toll and WEAKNESS.
How nimbly and cheerfully does he ad-
just the faithful types, as ifhe took no note
of time'-as if the duties that are slowly
wearing out his life were more diversion
than laborious avocation. But amid theil
monotonous discharge, believe US, the
printer thinks of home, and sweet rest, and
signs within himself for the better lot O
which others are possessed. And yet there
is no other repoSe for him; though the nigh
tramps on, and the jocund dawn will soor
appear.
Wig Go his motions grow less rapid,
why move his fingers in SO deliberate ant
mechanical way? Whence is the smile
that fingers gu his lip, like the first sun
beam at the gates Of morning? There Is :
gentle presence at his side--an eye blue a:
violet, glancing at his own-an accen
sweet rs music, entering his ear, ant
reaching his very heart.
1t is but moment-it is only rcvery-
it did not even win him from his occupa
tion-it only caused his hand to fllter
not to cease-the printer awakens to hi
toll again.
Ye who receive Your sunrise flvorite
and wander, perhaps listlessly, over its pa
ges, remember that it is the fruit Of tot
which was active and untiring while yol
were quietly sleeping-that your conve
nience and comfort are bought with tn
price of WEAKNESS.
There is an electric chord which being
charged with sympathy, will carry tn,
gentle burden even to the most distan
place.

A Slippery Fellow.

As others of our city contemporaries
have had something to say and all in favor
of the political eel who has been squirmine
toward the Speakership, We propose pic
ture Of the same individual, drawn by one
who knows him, and, being neighbor, is
not unfamiliar with his conYolutions Ii
certainly will be high compliment to the
American people to place such 4 weather
cock in the Chair Of the House. 1t is rare
compliment to Claws and the other great
names that have filed it. However, it
would not be much amiss for such House
to have such an officer, only we would not
visit the infection upon the gallant spirit
who yet remains there. But to the descrip-
ton Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Boston Courier, Wing paper, thus
tells who Mr.. Banks is:
when Banks comes up in the end, as
the candidate of the Republicans and the
Northern Americans he VIII have the
whole Of their vote. We advise them to
corner him down to some principle, for he
never has had any staple principle in all the
course of his political life. When one of
our contemporaries said that Mr. Banks was
a fit successor to Messrs. Winthrop, VALLEY
and others, as Speaker of the Massachu-
sets House Of Representatives, It's editors
must have been asleep. If the Republicans
want him, they must nail him down, and
nail him hard, or they will not keep him.
He is one of the most slippery and uncer-
tain politicians in the world Ifhe is elect
81 Speaker and the Pierce politicians want
TO buy him, they can have him without
doubt. but it must be at q price.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says:
1fsoberness constitutes dignity, Banks
must make a dignificd Speaker, in the event
Of his election. He has the air of New
England clergyman pacing the deck of a
steamer which he expects every minute will
blow up

The Robbers of the American Express


II will be remembered that, in the month
OF September last, the American Express
Company was robbed of $50, 900 in gold,
Iowa. 10 the New York branch Of the sub
treasury. The company, failing TO recoy-
er the-stolen specie, paid over the amount
to the Treasurer, but did not at all relax
their efforts TO ferret out the thieves The
messenger, w. c.. White by name, who
had charge of the treasure during its tran
sit by night from Chicago to Detroit, re-
signed his Office at the end of the month,
and came to this State. Mr.. Best, de-
tective officer in the employ of the compa-
ny, after few weeks investigation, was at
last able to write to his employers that two
men, Oliver King, who formerly kept a
hotel in Lowell, and VIM. c.. Aver, former
broker at No. II Brattle square, in this
city, had, through third party, who has
also been arrested, deposited $4,000 in
gold in the Haverhill Bank, and from
other circumstances, not vet divulged, II
was thought that they were in connection
with White 1t was subsequently ascer-
tanned that King, whose previous poverty
was well known, had made purchases Of
houses, horses and other property, and
seemed to be rolling in wealth. Upon re-
ceipt of this information, officer Best, with
two Of the partners of the American Express
Co, Mr.. Fargo and Mr.Williams, immedi-
ately started for this city Here they held
a conference with the Chief of Police and
other officers, and, accompanied by Dep
uty Chief Ham, officers Savage and Lynch
they proceeded to Lawrence, where King
and Aver reside.
Arrived a Lawrence, Mr. Ham, leaving
the rest of his party at the Hotel, went GU
to reconnoiter, and soon discovered Aver
riding in one of his newly purchasd ear
riages. Returning to the house. he me-
and arrested King at the very door, and
after placing him in custody, went in pur-
suit Of Aver. He soon captured him and
returned to the hotel In search of the
premises and persons Of these two men
silver plate, gold and bank bills, to the val
lie of nearly 80, 900, were found in he pos
session of King, whose financial transac
tons of different kinds, within the past few
months, have amounted to nearly $4,000
Aver has recently purchased half ola liy-

es were found in his possession.

Home Education.

The following rules we commend to al
our patrons and friends, for their excellence
brevity, and practical utility. They are
worthy of being printed in letters of gold
and being placed in conspicuous position
in every household. 1t is lamentable tC
contemplate the mischief, misery, and ru
lii which are legitimate fruit of those def
ciencies which are pointed out in the rules
to which we have referred Let every pa
rent and guardian read, ponder, and in
wardly digest.
1. From your children's earliest infancy
inculcate the necessity of instant obedience
9. Unite tirmness- with gentleness. lie
your children always understand that YOU
mean what you say.
B. Never promise them anything unless
you are quite sure You can give them wha
You promise.
4. fyou tell little child to do some
thing, show him how to do it, and see tina
it is done.
5. Always punish your children fol
willfully disobeying you, but never punisl
them in anger.
6. Never let them perceive that they
can vex you.
!. If they give way to petulence and
temper, wait till they are calm, and thei
gently reason with them on the impropri-
ETY. Of their conduct
9. Remember that a little present pun
ishment when the occasion arises, is much
more effectual than the threatening Of {
greater punishment, should the fault be
renewed
9. Never give your children anything
because they cry for it.
10. On no account allow them TO do al
one time what you have forbidden them,
under like circumstances, at another
IL. Teach them that the only sure and
easy way to appear good is to be good
10. Accustom them to make their little
recitals with perfect truth.
10. Never allow Of tale bearing
II. Teach them that SeLf-deuioI, not
seJ-indulgeace, is the appointed and sure
method of securing happiness.
10. Guard them against the Indulgence
of an angry and resentful spirit.
fthesc rules were reduced to practice
daily practically parents and guardians,
how much misery would be prevented
how many in danger of ruin would be
savcd-and largely would be the happi-
ness ola thousand domestic circles aug
mented. 1t is lamentablc to see how eX-
tensive is parental neglect, and to witness
the bad and dreadful consequences in the
ruin Of housands.-CdsseWe Standard

SORROW for the Dead.


The sorrow for the dead is the only sor-
row from which we refuse to be divorced
Every other wound We seek to heal, every
other affection to forget; but this wound we
consider a duty to keep open; this afiiiction
we cherish and brood over in solitude
Where is the mother that would willingly
forget the infant that persisted like a bios
som from her arms, though every recollec-
ton is pang? Where is child that wo'd
willingly forget the most tender parents,
though to remember be but to lamcnt?-
Who, even in the hourofagony, would for
get the friend over whom he mourns? Who
even when the tomb IS closing upon the
remains of her he most loved, and he feels
in his heart as it were, crushed in the clo-
sing of It's portals, would accept consola-
ton that was to be sought by forgctfulness!
No, the love which survives the tomb IS
one Of the noblest attributes Of the SOUL
If 1t has lis woes, il has its delights, and
when the overwhelming burst Of grief is
Gained into the gentle tear Of recollection:
when the sudden and cgnvulsiye agony O.
yer the present ruins OF all that we love
Is softened away into passive meditation on
all that it were in the days of its loveliness;
who would try to root out such a sor-
row from the heart? though it may some
times throw passing cloud even over the
bright honrs of grief, OF spread deep sad
ness over the hour of gloom, yet who wo'd
exchange it even for the song Of pleasure
or the burst of revelry?
No, there is voice from the tomb,
sweeter than song; there is a recollection
fthe dead to which we turn even from
the charms of the living 1t buries every
error; covers every defect; extinguisbes ey-
ry resentment, From It's peaceful bosom
there spring uone but fond regrets and
tender recollections. Who can look down
upon the grave even Of an enemy, and not
acompunctuous throb, that ever he should
have warred with the poor handful of earth
that lies Wondering before him? But the
the graves of those We leve hath place for
meditation. Then it is that We call up in
long review, the whole history ofvirtue and
gentleness; and the thousand eadearments
lavished upon us, almost UNDECIDED in the
daily course of intimacy. Then it is that
we dwell upon the tenderness of the part
ing scene; the bed Of death, with all its
; stifed grief, its noisless attendants, it's
mute, watchful assiduities; the last testimo-
MES Of expiring love; the feeble Huttering,

Husk Beds.

No one who has not tried them knows
the value of husk beds Certainly mat
trcsses would not be used ifhusk beds were
tried. They are not only more pliable than
mattresses, but are more durable. The
first cost is but trifling. To have husks
nice they may be split after the manner OF
splitting straw for braiding The finer
they are split the softer will be the bed, al
though they viii not be likely to last as
long rs when they are put in whole. Three
barrels full well slowed in, will fill good
sized tick, that is after they have been split.
The bed viii always be light, the husks do
not become matted down like feathers. and
they are certainly more healthy to sleep
on.
Feather beds ought to be done away with
especially in warm weather. For spring,
summer and fall, husk beds ought to be
"all the CO." and such undoubtedly will
be the case when they are once brought In
to use. There is no better time to procure
busks than when corn is being harvested
and the husks will be much nicer and clean
er when corn is cut up at the bottom and
put in stacks. They do not become so-dry
and weather beaten. 1t is calculated that
a good husk bead will last from twenty
five to thirty years. Every farmers daugh-
ter can supply herself with beds against
time of need at a trihing expense, which
is quite an inducement nowadays.
