The Mother MOldS the Nan.

That it is the mother who mOlds the
man, is a sentiment beautifully illustrated
by the following recorded observation of
a shrewd writer:
"When l lived among the ChoCtaw In
dianS, | held a consultation with one Of
their chiefs, respecting the successive sta
geS of their progress in the arts of civil
lied life; and, among other things, he
informed me that at their start they fell
into a great mistake they only sent boys
to school. These boys came home intel
ligent men, but they married uneducated
and uncivilized wives-and the uniform
result was, the children were alLlike their
mothers. The father soon lost all his In
terest in both wife and children. And
now,' said he, IF we would educate but
one class Of our children, We should choose
the girls, for when they become mothers
they educate their sons This is the point
and it is true. No nation can become
fully enlightened, when mothers are not
in a good degree qualified to discharge
the duties of the home work of educa-
tion,"

There seems to be no limit to the ap-

in the incalculable benefits which have
followed its discovery. 1t has recently
been applied to facilitate the process of
printing calicoes. Heretofore the patterns
have been drawn upon small scale, en-
larged by laboriOus process, and then
transferred to rollers. The Manchester
Print Works have for several months been
successfully using Photographic process,
to aid in transferring from the original
patterns to the copper roll. The process
saves a great amount Of manual labor and
insures great accuracy.

Tears.

DR.. Johnson pays the following beauti-
full tribute TO tears:
There is a saCredness in tears. They
are not the mark Of weakness, but of
power. They speak more eloquently than
ten thousand tongues. They are the mes
sages of overwhelming grief, of deep con-
triton, of unspeakable love. If there
were wanting any argument to prove that
man were mortal, | would look for it in
the strong, convulsive emotions of the
breast, when the soul had been deeply
agitated; when the fountain of feeling is
rising and when tears are gushing forth
in crystal streams. o, speak not harshly
of the stricken one-weeping in silence
Break not the soIemnity by rude laughter
or intrusive foOtstep. Despise not young
woman's tears-they are what make her
an angel. Scof not if the stern heart of
manhood is sometimes melted in sympathy
they are what help 10 elevate him above
the brute. love to see tears Of affection.
They are painful tokens, but still most
holy. There is a pleasure in tears; an
awful pleasure. If there were none on
earth to shed a tear for me should loathe
to live; and if no one might weep over
my grave, l should never die in peace.

The LATE FRosT.-It is difficult matter to
done by the frost of the 4th and 5th instant.
but there is no doubt about it being mostly
confined to parts Of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and New York. From all the
information we have been able to CLEAN, we
are satisfied that not over one-third of the ter
ritory of the States named was subjected to
the destructive influence of the frost, and up
on the whole it is doubtful whether the gene
raj average of the wheat crop in the United
States will be materially diminished by this
sscalamIty, for, while it has destroyed much
of the grain, 1t has also proved destructive to
the insect enemies of wheat Moreover. ow-
ing to the warm weather in May, the straw had
attained such rank growth that there was
reason to fear loss of the crop by rust. and
where it was not forward enough to be injured
By frost, the check given to the growth will
doubtless be beneficial. 1t is also true that
the southern part of the belt of the frost bit
ten region has great portion of its wheat SO
far advanced that frost would not injure it,
while On the northern limit it was still too
backward to be greatly endangered. In Geor-
gia, Tennessee, and other Southern States,
the grain was ready to harvest when the frost
occurred-in fact, samples of new wheat were
in market at that time; and, unless some rev
calamity befalls the farmer, we may reasona-
bly, hope to yet have good wheat crop in
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, IlIi-
nois. &c. The corn and potatoes are not Sc
riously injured-their growth is only retard
ed-and nearly fall crop may be anticipated.
We see little use in getting up an excitement
about the matter. Let all keep cool until the
extent of the damage done the crops is ascer
tanned, and then adopt such measures as will
be best calculated to supply any deficiency
that may occur, by using the oorseT grains
and by practiciug economy
