Little Children and the Work They d


Charles Lamb, in one of his Essays, write;
thus pitifully of the schoomaster:
wherever he goes, this uneasy shadow "a
bow attends him. A boy is at his board, and II
all his movements. Boys are capital fellows IL
their own way among their mates; but they are
unwholesome companions for grown people,
Even a child, that 'plaything for an hour, tires
QlcdyS."
Alas for poor Lamb; he never had enough
companionship with children to know their In
huence on the heart lie was himself his moth
er's Youngest born, and his own dull hearthstone
was never made bright by children's smiles, mol
his sad reveries broken BY their joyous romplng
One of our writers, who now wields magic
pen, speaks of that much oppressed and caluln-
mated class called boys" and to her better Jludg
ment We yield, for her ears have been Tor long
years used to their ringing laughter and Iheir
boisterous games. She has had experience a.
mong them--she knows the lessons taught by
their mirth and by their sadness; she feels the
genial influence of the dead one over the heart.
D, children are often the wise teachers, While
we, with earth-stained and sin-hardened hearts,
are the cold, dumb learners. Many lesson OF
faith and meek submission can be learned of
"these little ones - and many care car be BAN
ished by their guileless prattle and original cues
tions. How many an artless word, spoken by a
baby, gone, is this day locked up like jewel in
the torn heart from which the child was severed

] SINKING THE WRoNG FLEET.-The Boston
Ledger relates the following amusing anecdote
of the late Andrew j. Allen, the celebrated COS
turner and actor:
Irr a piece called 'sThe Battle of the Lakes,
or so,ue such name, Allen was once performing
n prom inent part, and in scene in which the
America and British fleets were represented
in hostile action. The finale of the naval strug-
ole was of course to be the utter discontinue and
surrender or the enemy but unfortunately those
who had the working of the miniature vessels
were partially intoxicated and accidentally sunk
the whole American fleet, while the English
ships remained gallantly ON the surface, much
10 the disgust aud disappointment OF the patrl-
o,ic Philadelphia audience, who manifested tAoif
displeaSure in grnans and hls>eS.
Allen not being aware of whGt had happened,
strutted across the stage in great confusion ana
whispered to the promptor. What id the daoe
of cobbud Seds is the batrerl" The pronptor
couldn't tell, for he couldn't see. Suddenly Al
len bethought him OF the scenery, and walking
on again, his fears were confirmed; and so, rush
ing to the wings, ''R. U. E." he roared out to
the delinquents in style unmentionable to ears
polite but verg effective, for them to "sigk that
| lgglish fleet in a biddit!" The frightened
''supes" FASTENED to obey, and suddenly the
whole American fleet rose again, and at the fl
ring of only one gun, down went the whole
British fleet!
This miraculous naval victory redeemed the
scene and the curtain fell amid immense APP
plause.

DRESS OF RoYALTY-The London Court Jour-
nal says that at the State Ball on the 10th of A.
pril, the Queen wore dress of blue tulle silk
with three founces, trimmed with ruches of al
ternate blue and white tue and broad white
blonde, with branches of blush roses, leaves, and
stems, the whole dress ornamented with dia-
monds. Her Majesty wore round her head
scarcet of diamonds. The Princess Royal wore
n skirt of ruches and bullionssof tulle over rich
glace silk, tastefellly trimmed with pink roses
The body and sleeves to correspond The Prin-
cess wore on her head wreath of.roses.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1856-06-04

AppEAnANoEs-Upon the subject of dress
and anpeorance, the Times thus remarks
"A coat that has the marks of use upon it is q
recommendation to people OF sense, and hat
,v;tb foo smooth a nap and too high lustre is
a derogatory circumstance The best coats in
Broadway are on the backs ofpenniless fops, bro
ken down merchants, clerks with ptiful salaries
and men that don't pay up. The heaviest golc
chains dangle from the tobs of gamblers anc
gentlemen of very limited means; costly orna-
ments ON the ladies indicate to 9 eyes that are
well open, the fact of silly lover or husband
cramped for funds. And when pretty woman
goes by in suit of plain and neat apparel, it is
a sign that she has fair expectations and hus
band that can show balance in his favor
For women are like books, too much gliding
makes men suspicious that the binding is the
most important point"

AN ALLOWANCE OF PANrALooNs.-In one of
the French courts of justice, dandy was sued
lately by his tailor for the amount of on enor-
nous bill one of the items of which was nine
pantaloons in less than year. The advocate
Of the tradesman pleaded that this consumption
of pantaloons was not excessive; that in the
higher circles no gentleman could have less
than three costumes day-the morning dress,
the riding costume, and the evening toilette
triumph. The President observed that gen.
ileman could be both elegant and refined with a
more moderate number of the garments aud he
consequently reduced the bill 200 francs.

BY JOHN c. SAKE.
Dear Charles be persuaded to we'd
For sensible fellow like you,
It's high time to think of bed,
And mullins and coffee for two.
So have done with your doubts and delaying
With soul so adapted to mingle,
No wonder the neighbors are saying
'Tis singular you should be single!
Don't say that you havnt got time
That business demands your attention
There is not the least reason or ryme
- In the wisest excuse you can mention.
Don't tell me about "other fish,
Your duty is done when you buy EN-
And you never will relish the dish,
Unless you've woman to fry 'em!
You may dream of poetical fame,
But your wishes may chance to miscarry-
The best way of sending ones name
To posterity, Charles. is to marry
And here | am willing to own,
After soberly thinking upon it,
I'd very much rather be known
BY beautiful son than sonnet!
Then, Charles, bid your doubling good bye,
And dismiss all fantastic alarms
III be sworn you've girl in your eye,
'Tis your duty to have in your arms
Some trim little maiden of twenty,
A beautiful azure-eyed elf,
With virtues and graces in plenty,
And no failing but loving yourself!
Don't search for an "angel" minute
For. granting you win in the sequel,
The deuce, after all. would be in it,
With u union SO very unequal!
The angels, it must be confessed
In this world are rather uncommon;
And allow me- dear Charles, to suggest
You'll be better content with a womanl
Then there's the economy, dear,
BY poetical algebra shown-
Isyour wife has grief or tear,
0ue-half, by the laws, is your own!
And as to the joys, by division
They're nearly quadrupled, It's said
Though never could see the addition
Quite plain in the item Of bread.)
Then, Charles, be persuaded to we'd
For sensible fellow, like you,
It's high time to think Of a bed,
And mullins and coffee for two.
So have done with your doubts and delaying
With soul so adapted to mingle,
No wonder the neighbors are saying

To TELL THE DISTANCE oE SHIPS AT SEA.-lt
a gun be fired by a vessel at sea, the distance
may be known by observing the number OF Sec
onds which elapse between the fash and the re-
port. In mild weather sound travels at the rate
of 1923 feet in second. If tn refore, the re-
port of the gun were heard five seconds after
the flash had been seen, the distance of the OBJ
server from the gun would be 5615 feet or rath-
more than mile. This is merely an approx
nation, for the velocity of sound varies accord
ing to the density of the atmosphere. In dry
frosty weather, sound travels at the rate of only
1880 feet in second.-1hiags not generalls
