Education of Bows.

A merchant :lately had occasion for
young lad as clerk. lie advertised, and
several presented themselves, among them
well-dressed, handsome youth, who favor
ably impressed him.. and whom he thought
oftaking. on trial. But whsh.he asked the
lad to write, the awkward clfirography con-
vipcel him that, however else tho boy might
suit, Ills penmanship would not answer. lie
then called up another, whose appearance
likewise betokened comparatively wealthy
parentage and gave him calculation to
make. But tho fractions were too much
Tor the aspirant. At last; he picked out 4
neat, but economically dressed lad, who said
he had been educated at the High School,
and who was evidently the'child of parents
in but moderate circumstances. This. boy
promptly passed tho ordeal. The merchant
has now had the youth in shis employment
for a considerable period, and saya, if com
menting on the occurrence, abe will pfoba;
bly,, in ten years, be on the high rode tof6is
tune, while those two other lads, with their
originally superior advantages, will be get
ting.poorer and poorer contineAlly."
Now whose is the fault? To saIne exteHt,
doubtless, it is that or the lads; but their
parents are not entirely bIameless either.
Man is naturally vagraut animal. Not
Fon6out of FIVE loves work, in the first place,
for works sake merely. It is necessary to
take the child, almost as soon,as he ceases to
be an infant; and begin to educata him for
tho part he has to play in life. Parents
cannot inculcate on their offspring too early,
that, if they would be prosperous and happy,
they must. learn to depend on their own
exertions for making or even retaining a
fortune. Tho boy who grows Iip, petted
and indulged; who thinks that his father is
SO rich that he need not work like other
lads; who is not disciplined to study, 10 Ia
Dor, to selfdenial generally; such boy,
no matter what his advantages of capital or
connection, will run the greatest risk Of
final bankruptcy, if he does not, as too many
do, turn out utterly worthless, even before
he is old enough 10 begin business. There
is an ancient proverb, thAbto make gen.
tleman, you muss begin N the cradle. The
adage would be truer and more useful, If II
was tbat. TO make business pan, you must

!. ...MIsCELLANY.
The Late Secretary Marcy.

= The New York Evening Post has an article
under this head, in which it says:
Very few even of Mr. Marcy's most intimate
friends suspected the existence of the disorder
which proved fatal to him. Yet for thirty years
he had suffered occasionally from what he call
ed q stitch in his side, and during the two last
years of his official life he was several times
suddenly taken ill,in his Office with an afrec-
-tion which appered to alarm him considerably
during the few minutes while it lasted. at
such periods lie would turn pale and complain
of nausea; but as soon rs they were over he
woold forget oil about them md become out
'wardly ns cheerful as ever. lie, however, was
evidently Impressed, by the recurrence of these
attacks. with the fragility of his hold on life,
and onfhe Sunday before his death, when ap-
Paredtly enjoying perfect health and indulging
in Observation-Disclosures of his European tour,
he observed to q friend who spoke to him of his
Presidential prospects i'll 1860. "Do not speak
ofthat subject; I shall not live to see the elcc-
ton of another President" These forebodings
The is remembered to have uttered once before
but the gentleman who heard them, not know
ing the grounds of Mr.. Marcy's impression,
'sstil augtired pleasant continuance of his days
at 10 well known that Mr.. Marcy had declar
ed at ienst d year before the end Of his term in
the state Department, even if President Pierce
were re elected, to'retire from public life." =
EE The Post says:
'1f Mr. Marcy had lived longer he would
probably haye left the country additional evi
dsuces ofhis4wonderful controversial ability
at least on one of the subjects which had engag
ed his attention in. his official correspondence
with Great Britain. 1t will be remembered
that whom his rnasterly letter in reply to the pro
positions of the European powers relative te
the. e.nbolishment Of privatearing appeared, the
.British, and BONE Of the continental Journals
discussed the subject adversely to his views

LIFE OF PoLirIcIAS.--C. G.. Grove, Esq,
Tennesssean, thus bids adieu to politics;
The life of politician is an arid waste,
with but rarely reviving sign Of gushing
waters and blushing flowers. His heart,
sooner or later, must bronze or break
Sometimes the sunshine smiles on him, and
fills his bosom with heeting happiness
These times though are the exceptions TO
the general rule--they are the days Of the
Arctic regions short, cleaning and isolated
the brighter because they are brief, and
shine on eternal SHOWS, aud are succeeded
and preceded BY an almost perpetual night.

NEGRo SUFFRAGE IN INV YoRE.-The de-
cision in the bred Scott case has had the
effect upon the New York Legislatureto cause
the passage of a bill for amending the Con-
stitution Of that State in such way that
negroes may be permitted to vote without the
property qualification. Says the Albany
Journal:
The Constitutional amendment 10 adopted.
BY very large vote--an unanimous one so
far as Republicans are commemorative joint
resolution granting the right Of Suffrage to
all citizens without distinction Of color, has
been passed through both Houses. 1t has
vet to be adopted by another Legislature,
and subsequently ratified by the people at
the polls, before ii can take effect.
The experiment is not new one. Color
ed men have voted in Massachusetts, ever
since the Declaration Of Independence
They have voted in Maine ever since her ad-
mission as State, and in Rhode Island ever
since she had written Constitution. New
Hampshire and Vermont granted them the
right to vote, upwards Of half century
ago.

BARBARors TREATMENT OF A SLAvR.-A man
named Vincent Rossin, says the West Ten
nessee argus, has recently been run ont OF
Purdy, for appearing to claim n runaway
slave woman, who was induced to leave his
service by the most barbarous treatment
He pushed her out into the weather during
the coolest of last winter, barefooted and
poorly clad, until her fingers and toes were
badly frosted he then took his knife and
cut them oti. and threw them into the fire
poured hot water uud threw hot embers on
her-beat and abused her in every way the
devil himself could have invented, and she
is only eleven or twelve yenrs old. At
length she could bear it no Longer, and then
ray away-s she was taken up and brought to
town for Imprisonment in horrible con-
dition, covered with sores and nearly dead.
Where are those humane laws we hear OF,
which protect tho slave against the barbar-
ity of the master, and punish him for cruel
treatment Of his chattel.
Since the Chief Justice announced from the
Supreme Bench that the "colored man pos
sessed no rights which the white man was
bound to regard" we presume we shall
have no more pretences that there are hui
name laws to protect the black in the South
ern States, or at least, that such laws are
enforced.
