FRIGHTENING CHILDREN.

We know of nothing more danger
GUS and injudicious, than the practice
of frightening children in the nursery,
at the family fireside, and in the social
circle, by relating to them ghost sto-
ries, goblin tales and witchcraft fic-
tions. They receive painful impress
sions from which their nervous system
does not recover for years, perhaps
not during their whole lives. Child
rem and young persons have generally
great curiosity in relation to these
tales of the Imagination, especially
when they are attended by some gos-
siping nurse, whose head, being empty
of good sense, has been filled brim
full of ghost legends and black letter
recollections. If there is a worse CON
dition upon earth than that into which
this monstrous superstition plunges
an Imaginative child, we have no CON
ception of its curding horror. Never

\ SCHOOL MARIN GoING INTO THE SHOE
BUSINESS A correspondent writing to
the Cincinnati Gazette from Madison,
Indiana, says:
"Deiia Webster, who will be re-
membered as the "school marin who
was going torevolutionize Kentucky"
is in town. She has brought with her
some thirty families from Massachu-
sets, with the intention of starting "a
shoe factory on her farm, which is
situated on the bluffs below Milton,
Ky, opposite Madison. Whether she
will succeed in making her home upon
the hill again, without being subject
to constant molestation, is quite a
question" ....

A HuMoEoUs IScIDENT.-Mr Giddings
delivered lecture on the Higher
Law before the Young Mems Christian
Association of New York recently,
from report of which we make the
following extract:
In reference TO the position of the
clergy, he told the story of the Rev.
Mr.. Slicer, Chaplain of the House, who
when mutinied cargo Of slaves had
been rctakcn, brought back to Wash
ington and bought by the great slave
dealer, Hope IL. Slater, aud stood
trembling in Pennsylvania avenue,
shook the hand of Mr. Slater, and re-
proved one of the slaves for attempting
/ to free himself, man to whom he him
self had often given the bread and wine.
Next morning when Slicer got up and
began to pray, plain spoken col
! league Of his got up, put on his hat
and began to swear. And as Sliccr
called on God 20 bless the members,
Tilden called on God to damn such
preachers. Sliccr's prayers and Ill
| denis curses ascended together
which were the most etlicacious he
never learned, but he had rather
trust to Tilden's curses than to Sli
GERS prayers, because they were

manners, in many cases, it is to be
feared is not performed at all. When
down appears on his lip, the tonsorial
service is performed by nigger and
when he reaches manhood, he invades
the nigger quarters to place himself
in the endearing relation of paternity
to half niggers. Finally, if he should
be ambitious, it may occur that he
will come to Congress to represent a
constituency, three fifths of whom are
niggers, and talk about Black Repub.

Navigation of Iowa Rivers.

Since the late experiment Of navi-
eating the Cedar, with steamboats,, as
far as Waterloo, has proven success
full, efforts have been made in other
directions, to the same end. The Fl.
Dodge people have recently been
thrown into violent spasms Of joyous
excitement by the appearance, at that
place, of light-draught steamer,
named the Charles Rogers, formerly
plying between Des Moines and ST
Louis. One of the bridges at the city
of Des Moincs, which had heretofore
precluded all attempts to navigate
the upper part of the river, having
been carried away, the captain of the
Charles Rogers determined to try to
reach Fl. Dodge with his boat, which
he did without difficulty. The pilot
states that an expenditure Of one hun
dred dollars would make the river
easier of navigation above than be-
low Des Moincs. The Sentinel is very
jubilant over the matter, and justly
augurs much benefit both to Fort
Dodge and the whole northwestern
portion of the State, from this river
communication with st. Louis. We
hope to see the Sentinel's expectations
realized.
The Maquoketa people, failing to
get railroad, have also begun to ex-
anime into the practicability Of navi-
eating their river TO that point. The
Excelsior says there can be no doubt
that light-draught boats can come up
to Ma9uoketa city. and that it will re-
quire not greater outlay than $500
to put the river III good navigablc
condition. A company has been or
ganized for the purpose of purchasing
a boat, and preparations for clearing
the river of snags and other obstruc-
tons arc also being made. Success
to all such enterprises, is our hearty
wish.

is a farce, matrimony is a humbug,

1t has always been the position of
statesmen from the South, that the
Constitution carries slavery into the
common Territories. - Hasa Union.
The writings of Washington, of JEFF
ferson, and of Madison, the speeches
of Patrick Henry, the action of Nun
roe, of Jackson, of Benton, and OF
Clay, would seem to indicate differ
ent conclusion. Southerners though
they were, they held the Constitution
carried with it Freedom. But then
the Union probably does not admit
that any of these were " statesmen"

each is bound by an electric chain

If one heart is oppressed, all sympa-

Female education is highly impor-
tant as connected with domestic life.
1t is at home where man passes the
largest portion Of his time-whcrc he
seeks refuge from the vexations and

change Of affection where some of
the finest sympathics taste moral and

The hope of future happiness is a
perpetual source of consolation to
good men. Under trouble it soothes
their minds-amidst temptation it
supports their virtues-and in their
dying moment enables them to say
"Oh Death , where is thy sting! Oh
Grave where is thy victory!"
