My intercourse with the second King was in all
respects most agreeable. found him a gentlemen
Ofvery cultivated understanding; quiet even modest
in manners-willing to communicate knowledge,
and earnest in the search of instruction. His table
spread with all the neatnes and order that are
found in well regulated English household. A ia
yOrite child sat on his knee, whose mother remained
Crouched at the door Of the apartment but took no
part in the conversation. The King played to his
guests very prettiy the pipes Of the Laos porta-
bic organ lie had a variety of music and there
was exhibition of national sports and pastimes,
equestrian ieats elephant combats, and other amuse
ments. But what seemed most to interest the King,
was his museum of models nautical and philosophi-
cal instruments, and variety of scientific and 9TH
er curiosies. These kings reign each in prescribed
limits, in perfect harmony. This double monarchy
is an old institution of Siam, and is popular with
the people. -INewburyport Herald.

The Family Circle.

The Baltimore Sun, alluding to the
prevalence Of crime among the boys,
very properly asserts that one of the
main causes Of the decline of moral
ity is the decay Of parental discipline.
The family circle, the domestic hearth,
is the true fountain of purity or cor.
ruption to public morals. Most peo-
pla become what they are made at
home. They go forth into the world,
to act out the character they have
formed in the first fourteen years of
their lives. II is alleged, in excuse,
that children have become more un-
manageable than they used to be-
We reply, that human nature and
human relations are unchanged.
Children are just as amsnable to
authority as they ever were. This is
the main purpose for which Provi-
dence has made them helpless and
dependent, that they may be trained
to obedience, to order, to industry, to
virtue. 1t is not true that parent
have not as absolute control over their
children as they ever had. When
there is dependence obedience may
DO enforced, The real fact is, that
parents are too indolent, too negli-
gent, too Indifferent to take the pains
to train up their children in the way
they should 60, It requires perpet-
ual vigilance, and they get tired. It
requires self-control to exercise q
proper authority over others. Self
conquest is the greatest victory of all.
There can be no just parental disci-
pline when there is no character to
back il.

A Word to the Boys.

Come boys, you have now arrived
at an age when you must begin to
think about doing something for your
selves. The first piece Of advice l
have for You is, to do everything
we'll which you undertake. There is
but little danger of your being too
particular in this respect. A boy who
is careful to draw a straight line on
his slate, will be very likely to make
a straight line through life. THERE'S
no position in life in which you will
not be called upon to be exact as pos
sible. Step into jewelers. shop,
and see how careful the workman
must be in finishing up the article he
holds in his hands. Visit ship yard,
and the man with the broad-axe must
learn to hew on the line, OR dismissed.
You think of being clerk. Well,
remember that mistake there is lit
tie less than crime. / never saw o
man who was particular about his af-
fairs that was not successful. How
exact is military officer in the COM
mand of a body Of men. A clumsy
sailor will never rise to the command
of ship.
But there is one great danger which
besets many young men at the pres
ent day. 1t is the disposition to avoid
all solid improvement, and take up
with subjects that require no thought,
and which serves as mere excitement
to the mind. Your older friends tell
you that boys are fast at the present
day, but can remember fast boys
long before you was born but they
never made solid and useful men,
Nobody ever trusted Them. They
never filled any important office or
station. They usually became small
men, because they had no capital in
their heads with which to work out
living. Out of fifty Of that class, I
do not know of one who ever accom-
pliShed much. AS you SOW, so shall
you reap. The boy who spends his
hours late and early at the card-table,
bowling alley, or tavern bar-room,
is learning nothing useful, but much
that is injurious. Listen to such men
as Amos Lawrence, Thomas II. BEN
ton, Daniel Webster, Benjamin
Franklin, and George Washington,
as they will all tell you that they
avoided all these things, and owed
their greatness to their attention in
early life to what would be useful to
them.
This may DO hard lesson for you,
but it must be studied, and the earli-
er inlire you acquire it, the better will
your prospects be for successful
| career

Song of the Rain.
Harkl at the song the summer rain
Is forever singing;

Hark at the song the summer rain
Is forever singing;
Failing thro' dream-linked chain,
Its voice comes ringing;
Mid the thin and shadowy mist,
Which shroud the earth swells dim,
Where murmuring spirits have kissed
Each word of that sweet hymn.
This is the song the summer rain,
All its shadows tighten,
"Green grows the earth and from this pain
Fragrant howerashightcn
Dark are the clouds, But golden beams,
Aye on the edge will smile,
While the morrow with joy will CLEAN.
And beauty all bcguile.
"Ever the storm will pass and clouds
Give way TO sunlight glad,
While the storm with its dismal shrouds
And voice of wailing sad,
Will with peansOf faith peal out,
Aud songs of Love will send,
Thro' all the Earth joyous shout,
As sun and storm do blend.
$50, struggling heart, have faith, looA up,
The loving Father reigns;
Let the storm fall--drink thou thy cup,
For God will break the chains;
Love will be fairer for the storm,
Hope bear radiant hue,
After the night cometh the dawn,
And sunlight pierceth thro."

Look Before you Kick.

A minister recently, while on his
way to preach funeral sermon in
the country, called to see one Of his
members, an old widow lady, who
lived near the road he was travelling.
The old lady had just been making
Sausages, and she felt proud of them,
they were SO plump, round and sweet.
OF course she insisted on her minister
taking some of the links home to his
family. He objected on account of
not having his portmanteau along.
This objection was soon overruled'
and the old lady, after wrapping them
in a rag, carefully placed a bundle in
either pocket of the preachers capa-
cious coat. Thus equipped, he start
cd for the funeral.
While attending the solemn cere-
monies of the grave, some hungry
dogs scented the sauSageS, and were
not long in tracking them to the pock-
cts ofthe good mans coat. Of course
this was a great annoyance, and he
was several times under the necessity
OF kicking those whelps away. The
obsequies at the grave completed, tho
minister and congregation repaired
to the church where the funeral dis
course was to be preached.
After the sermon was finished, the
minister halted to make some remarks
to his congregation, when a brother,
who wished to have an appointment
given out, assembled the steps Of the
pulpit and gave the minister's coat a
hitch, to get his attention. Tho di-
vine, thinking it dog having de-
sign upon his pocket, raised his foot,
gave sudden kick, and sent the good
brother sprawling d wn the steps.
You will excuse me, brethren
and sisters" said the minister, con-
fusedly, and without looking at the
work he had just done, :" for | could
not avoid it, l have sausages in my
pocket, and that dog has been trying
to grab them ever since l came upon
the premises p

such an announcement would have at

SteadineuS Of Purpose.

In whatever you engage, pursue it
with steadiuSss Of purpose as though
you were determined to succeed. A
vacillating mind never accomplishes
anything worth naming, There is
nothing like a fixed, steady aim. II
dignifics your success. Who have
secured the rarest honors? Who
have done tho most for mankind
Who have raised themselves from
poverty to riches |? Those who were
steady in purpose. They move noise
lossly along, and yet what wonders
they accomplish ! They rise gradu-
ally, ws admit---but surely. Z

[For the Freemen's Champion
A Summers Night Scene,

The night air soft all pendulous droops,
Closely down to the dew-gemmed plain,
And the coud-curtain's fringe lowly stoops
TO kiss the buds on its bosom lain
Woile grandly glowing the summer moon,
With smiling stars glory-band weaves
Ear,h o'ercome by beanly faint doth swoon,
And voiceless verdure with rapture
breathes.
The forest trees, huge ssntinels stand,
Looming proud against thS'1zuro sky,
Guarding the midnights enchanted land,
When wild and weird the spirit forms fly
Pralres green like wavy-oceans swell,
With billowy bound afar off stretch,
Claspng alike where sun rose and fell,
Aud Queen Luna's faintest kiss doth
each.
The silent stream like silver sheen, lies
GlStening in the eve's fair splendor--
Heavens fret work-the fleece clouds flies
Obscuring dim the light that blends DER
While Nights misty breath hangs humit
along,
The ether dome and The earth SWELL
green,
There seems from far sphere spirits son!
In mellowed tones to float between.
Not oft is Nature in mood like this
When fire and sofrness both minglinl
dwells,
Like modest desire in a maiden's Liss,
orihe lingering sound of Sabbath bells
AS doth the wild flower drink the dew,
So enters This scene the soul of man,
Flooding il DER with Heavens own hue,
And awe of the Creators vast plan.

Cent raj America.

The Governments OF Costa Rlca
and Nicaragua have concluded a very
important treaty, which will proba'
bly, affect our relations with those re-
gions materially. 1t settles the dis
puted boundary line between the two
countries, cancels the debt Of Mica
ragua and provides for the recognition
of all treaties made by the latter pow
er with the United States. 1t pro-
vides also for the formation ola Fed
Grafton or Union of all Central Amer
lean States.
BY decree of the Vice President
of Costa Rica, issued on the 23d Of
April, Inducements are offered for
peaceful immigration, A grant OF
land is offered to foreign settlers, a
strip of land 500 yards having been
set off for that purpose on the river
Saripiqui. To every actual settler
will be given section Of ground con-
tanning $4,000 square yards, each
section having a front of 100 yards
on the river and depth Of 300 feet
Streets of twenty yards in width are
to be left between the sections. Set
tiers are allowed two years in which
to take possession, but will lose their
privilege if after five years they have
not commenced to cultivate the
ground. If any settler desires to un-
dertake q plantation Of cocoa, and
will plant it within five years, he will
be granted section 100 yards on the
river and 1000 deep.
Any foreigner who desires to ac-
cept these DON cessions can address
himself at once to tas Judge Of Ha-
cienda, or to the commandant Of Sa-
ripiqui, as may be most convenient,
declaring his intention to become a
citizen Of Costa Rica, and asking pos
session Of the first land he is desired
to cultivate. The Judge will there
upon order the commandant to deliver
the land, taking note of the name,
sex, age, &C., Of the settler. The
title deed for the land will not be
given until the settler has been in act
ual possession for five years.
Such a measure leaves fillibuster-
ism without even a shadow Of reason,
and, no doubt, it and the treaty and
the proposed Federal Union of Cen
tral American States, are intended as
defensive precautions against future
incursionS Of Northern pirates.
