From the American Messenger.
THE LITTLE STRINGS.

Did you ever sec gutta-percha face, chill
dren And did you ever amuse yourselves
with pinching it one way and pulling it an
other, and seeing what different expressions
it will put on When you cease pulling and
pinching it, it returns to the same face it was
before.
Now your little faces are softer than gutta-
percha, and they arc full Of little strings
called muscles aud the little muscles pull
them one way, and pull them another, just ac-
cording to your feelings Sometimes you feel
grieved or sad, and the little muscles pull
your face into very doleful expression. and
we know by looking at you just how You feel.
Sometimes you feel pleased or merry and the
little muscles pull your faces into smiles and
dimples.
But often there are wicked passions at work
at the strings. Anger pulls, and oh what a
disagreeabe look the face puts on in min
ute. Pride pulls the strings. or vanity, or
envy, or discomfort or deceit and each brings
its own expression over the face.
The worst of it is, that when these passions
pull very often, the face does not return to
what it was before, but the muscles harden
and retain that ugly expression BY iadug-
ing in evil passions, people may work their
times when yon meet a man in the street you
can tell, just by looking at his face, what his
character is
A face that was very lovely when it was
that Of child, has had the passion of anger
pulling at it so often that it always wears
sullen, cross, dissatisfied look. Or if man
has learned to love to hoard up money for its
own sake, his face gets mean, grasping look
and we say whom we pass him. There goes a
miser." Or if he has learned to lie and steal,
he cannot make his face that of a truthful,
honest man.
Now, dear children, do you want to have
faces, that everybody win love Then

SALT FOR THIsTLEs.--Oliver O. Brown,
of East Cleaveland, informs us that a short
time ago he discovered patch of Canada
thistes in his field, and being DESTROYS to
hinder their propagation, he put table
spoonful at the roots Of and close to the
the stem of each plant, and then sowed the
patch all over with salt, until the ground APP
penred quite grey. In few days everything
was dead, along with the grass and thu
other vegetation. And this is a good plan
cheap and efectual. The plants take up the
salt in solution. which acts, when in excess, as
poison, disorganizing the tissues, and pro
ducing death. The future crops will be ben

Judge Ellis and the Danviue Connection.

Judge Ellis has played Proteus in this campaign, va
rying his position to suit different localities This fully
accounts for his obstinate refusal to put all his views
writing Thus when in the Cape Fear region, he made
broad issue with his opponent the question of the
Danve connection, and dated at large and most earn
esy the injurious consequences of such connection
which, he said would parayze ~ miles Of the North
Carolina Road. Raleigh Register.
The Register is wholly in error in regard to Judge
Ellis course on the DanvilIe Connection while he was
in this part of the State He introduced the sub
ect at all of his own accord. He said nothing about il
at Fayetteville, Lumberton or Clinton, and only stated
his position at Kenansville when called out. He never
obruded this matter into the canvass whilst he and his
competitor were IN the Cape Fear region. When his
position was called for, he it stated unequivocaly.

quarter of 1853 compared with the second quarter of
1857 1t will be seen that there is an increase of some
two thousand barrels Spirits slight falling off in other
branches of Naval Stores also in Lumber and Slaves,
with decided increase in Cotton and Rice. The aggre-
gate value of the exports for the corresponding quarter
of the two years. exhibits little change, although the
balance somewhat in favour of 1853 owing to the in
crease in Rice and Cotton which had not come forward
as early usual and therefore go to swell the figures
