A TOUCHING INcIDENT.-A little boy had
died. His body was laid out in darkened
room, waiting to be laid in the cold, lone
grave. His afflicted mother and bereaved lit
lie sister went in to look at the sweet face Of
the precious sleeper, for his face was beauti-
ful even in death. As they stood gazing on
the face of one so beloved and cherished, the
little girl asked to shake his hand. TIE moth
er at first did not think it best, but the child
repeated tie request, and seemed anxious
about it; she took the cold, bloodless hand
of her sleeping boy, and placed it in the hands
OF his weeping sister. The dear child looked
at it moment, caressed it fondly, and then
looked up to her mother through tears and
love, and said Mother, this hand neoer struck
me-" What could have been more touching
and lovely ?--EIchdnge.

INTELLECTUAL WoMEN.-There is
refres hing about the society of
an intellectual woman. She rarely drops
into the senseless jargon of - small talk, "
and in her conversation aims to amuse and
edify her friends. Sheridan has said
" Women govern US; let us render them
perfect; the more they are enlightened, so
much more shall we be. On the cultiva-
ton of the mind Of women depends the
wisdom of men. 1t is by women that
Nature writes on the hearts of men,"

A DRoLL PREsIDENT.-In late num-
Der of the Albany Eyening Journal, Thur
low Weed tells US what droll President
we have got, in the following concise
words:
He entered the White House, With
a promise of freedom to Kansas on his
lips, and scheme for epslaving it in his
pocket He declared war against circu-
lating notes and in six weeks was issuing
them himself. Before the ink was dry
with which he pledged Economy" he
had drained the treasury of its last dollar.
Before the printers were done steroetyping
his infexible determination never to bor-
row, he was in Wall street soliciting a
loan.
"He congratulated the country on the
final end of slavery agitation, and he has
been agitating it ever since. He ordered
Paulding to stop the 6llibusters, and then
recalled him for doing it. Walker Of
Nicaragua he pronounced an outlaw and
rendered him the hospitalities Of the White
House. Walker of Kansas he furnished
with written Instructions, and turned him
out for obeying them.
"He withheld the troops from Utah,
where he proclaimed there was war, in or
der to keep them in Kansas, where he
insisted all was peace, He sells Forts at
the west for 1.-THE of ther cost, in order
to buy sites at the east at ten times their
galue-his subordinates in both cases
pocketing the difference. lie is oontin-
ually asking for new steam frigates; but
he will not use those he has either on the
coast of Africa or in the Gulf of Mexico.
He sends out steamer, Cstensibly to
catch the Styx, but with private orders
in the captains desk to do nothing Of the
sort. Claiming to be the most frugal OF
Presidents, he has spent more than any
of his predecessors. Assuming to be
above party prejudices, he makes partisan
ship the basis even of his invitations tc
dinner"

"Stand up here young man, and let us
talk to you You have trusted alone 10
the contents of father purse, or to his fair
Jane for your influence or SUCCESS IN bust
pess. Think you that father has attained
TO eminence in his profession without IN
dustry, or that he has amassed honestly,
without energy and activity, the fortune
you have been leaning upon? Suppose
father has the rocks in abundance, if
you never earned any thing for him, you
have no more business with those rocks
than gosling has with tortoise. And
if the old gentleman is lavish Of his cash
towards you while he allows you to idle
away your time, you'd better leave him
yes, run away, rather than be made an I'M
'becile or scoundrel through so conupting
an influence. If you never helped your
self at all, if you have eaten fathers bread
and butter, and smoked fathers cigars,
cut swell in fathers buggy, and tried to
put on fathers influence and reputation,
you might far better have been poor
canal boy, the son of a chimney sweep, or
a boot black-and, indeed, we would not
swap with you the situation Of poor,
halt-starved, motherlesS calf. Miserable
objects you are that depend entirely upon
your parents, playing gentleman, (altaS
'dandy loafer.') What in the name Of
common sense are you thinking Of? Wake
up there. Go to work with either your
hands Or brains, or both, and be something.
Don't merely haze it to boast that you
have grown in fathers house, that you
have Vegetated as other green-horns bat
let folks know that you count one.
Throw off your coat, cIinch the saw, the
plow-handle, the pick-axe, the spade-any
thing that will enable you to stir your
blood. Fly around and tear yourjacket;-
hire yourself out to some potato patch =
Jet yourself to stop hog holcs-rather than
be the passive reel pient of the old gentle
mans bounty. Ifyou have no other means
of having fun of your own, buy with your
earnings an empty barrel and put your
head into it and roll down hill when you
are entitled to resting spell. Look about
you. Who are they that have worth and
influence Are they those that depend
ed alone on their fathers purse? Or are
they those that have climbed their way to
their position by their own industry. True
your parents influence may secure you the
forms of respect; but let them lose their
property or die and what are you? a
miserable fedging-a bunch of flesh and
bones that needs to be taken care Of.
Take off, then, that ring from your lily
fnger-break your cane-shave your up
per lip-wipe your nose-hold up your
head-and you will seem to breathe a
new atmosphere, possess new frame,
tread new earth, wake to a new destiny
and you may then begin to aspire to
manhood. ANON.
