GREAT FLOOD NEAR GIN.
CINNATI.

The Cincinnati papers of Wednesday
give accounts Of tremendous rain storm
in that city and its vicinity, beginning on
Monday morning and raining heavily until
night, then beginning afresh at midnigh
and raining with unprecedented violence
for nine hours, during which time, it is as
serted, .fuc and a half inches of water fell
upon the earth thereabouts The railroads
were all damaged SO much, by slides, wash
ing, loss Of bridges, &C., that no trains
went out on Tuesday morning The Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, however, was
in running order by noon, and most of the
others probably would be in a day or two,
so far at least as to pass by exchanging
trains at the worst breaks. (The Ohio &
Mississippi road, it appears by St. Louis
accounts, was to be opened throughout on
Saturday,
The Whitewater canal is thought to be
almost ruined, being so much injured that
it is thought doubtful whether it will be
repaired.
A young man named James Bowling
was drowned in the Little Miami on Tues
day morning, near Loveland station. The
river was higher than the oldest citizens
had ever seen it. A Mr.. Heaton and his
son and Mr.. Dowling were crossing the
river in a skif, when the current swept
them against clump Of sycamore trees,
and capsized their boat. All three seized
upon branches Of the trees, and the two
Heatons soon clalmbered into safe positions.
Bowling, however, had 50 completely lost
his presence Of mind, that he continued
clinging to the branch he had first seized,
and no efforts of his companions could in
duce him to take hold Of another limb and
climb out Of the water, as he might easily
have done had not terror paralyzed his fac
ulties. ~ @'''.' ''.'
Messrs Henry Hammer and Wilson Bow
Ian put off in an old boat to the rescue,
but their boat was also capsized at the
same trees, and they both escaped into the
tree tops. This occurred about an hour
and half after the first accident, and
Bowling, seeing it, relaxed his hold in de-
spair, and was swept away and drowned.
The story Of the final rescue of the others
is thus toldby the Con,mercirz:
At last, however, a gray haired old
man, a steamboat captain named Culnmins,
and a brave-hearted and strong. armed
steamboat mate, whose name we regret not
to have learned, undertook the perilou5 feat
of navigation. By amost adroit system Of

RATIONAL TREATMENT FOR ANIMALS.

RATIONAL TREATMENT FOR ANIMALS.
MANY who insist On the necessity Of pure
air and cleanliness for man, and admit the
power Of kindness to influence him, yet
cruelty abuse a wayward horse or an irrita-
BILE COW, and ccnfne both in air saturated
with animal e1f1uyia.
The service we receive from these ami
mails ought to secure them such treatment
at least as will enable them still better to
serve us How can rough usage make an
animal patient? How can blows make a
horse docile? They only waste his
strength, and make him fear you. They
can not induce ready, patient service. DO
you expect to control your horse when you
are not master of yourself! An angry man
cannot properly control anything. If you
fail to make an animal understand you
when you are calm, ;mpatience and anger
will diminish your ability to do it. All you
can do while angry is to make him fear
you, and to try to escape from you. This
he will do; for>hc feels that you have di-
vested yourself of all which qualities you to
control him--that you are the meaner
brute. The most successful trainers of
horses never use either fear or force to in
fuenee them. The horse knows man
from a monster.
And the cow-do nothing to render her
impatient; nor draw her milk while she is
irritated. Speak kindly to her; caress her;
thus soothed, she will feel that you are her
friend, will become placid, and readily yield
her milk. Now, you can draw her milk
with satisfaction, and give it to your chill
dren without fear that it is vitiated by an
ger. .,..,.- .......... +.....<u. -.
BE assured, that you can manage do,nes-
tic animals as much more completely, by
kindness, as you can human beings.
Respecting hygiene, they need purity Of
externals as much as you do. Give them
clean stables and fresh air. Then, if you
would manage them completely. acquire
faith in the might of kindness. >9.

MY CHILD.
DY MINNIE MARY LEE.

Wnxx Spring SHALL bring the birds, and grass,
and flowers,
Methinks that thou must come, my child, to
me;
For how will pass the erst so joyous hours
Without sign, without word from thee!
The tender buds will spring from where thou'rt
Some soft-eyed flowers will open to the sun !;
On boughs above the birds will cease their fly
ing;
Thou wilt not see or hear, my silent one!
Thine ear is closed to all thy parents signing
In vain we call thee by thy soft, sweet name,
In vain We listen for thy quick replying,
For little steps that once so joyous came!
All blessed child thy busy feet are straying
Der emerald meadows of the blue Beyond,
sweet-scented zephyrs 'mong thy locks are
playing, a.
And angel whispers WOO thee, soft and fond.
But oh, sweet child, mid all the building rap
That fills thy soul in the abode of bliss,
Let now and then thy wing give lowly wafture
Adown the home thou once did sweetly bless.
Come with whisper Of thy love, yet cherish
ed,
Or give a sense of thy sweet presence near;
Come and give token that it has not perished,
The precious link that bound thee to us here.
From us to thee there is but little distance;
The golden hills will dawn soon view;
Our souls will gladden. in the bright existence
OF those who've passed Eearth's shadowy
valley through
Well joy to 60, since thou hast gone before
Thy starry wings shall light the path along;
Thy winsome voice shall teach the heavenly
chorus,
The swelling anthems of scrapic song.
Beloved child, if such thy glorious mansion,
Shall we not cease our mourning and our
tears,
With earnest souls to strive for that Elysium
That shall be thine, and ours, through end
less years!

The Floating City of Canton.
In ight and lively book, just published
in London, the author of which is DR..

Canton:
The town of boats occupies space Of
several leagues of the Tchou-kiang; it
is divided into quarters like London and
Paris, and like our great cities has its COM
mercial streets and its fashionable districts.
The suburbs-that is to say, the part of the
river which is inhabited by the lowest class
are composed of narrow streets, all very
much alike. They consist Of lines ef tanks,
with their coverings of bamboo, moored
sideways, and preseting all the appearance
of the vessels I have described elsewhere
in speaking of Macao. During the day,
you never see man in these boats; the
women and children alone remain in the
wretched dwelling, while the father is en-
gagged up the river loading the vessels Of
the barbarians, or disembarking the mer-
chandise contained in the junks which
furnishes Canton with its enormous sup
plies. The fsherman's street adjoins the
quarter inhabited by these laborious classes;
their habitations are more vast than those
of the poor carriers, and there is much
more animation in the place. AS soon as
they return from fishing, anchor has scarce.
