AMERICANS IN PARIs.-A letter from Paris
to the New York Post, after stating that Sena-
tor Sumner, the "inyalid," has left that city
for Egypt, gives the following gossip:
sCarroll Spence, late Minister of the United
States at Constantinople, is here, on the way
for the United States by the steamer of the
2Sth proximo. He had been spending the past
year and half since his diplomatic duties
ceased in travelling, in educating his family
and in buying pictures. He has literally raw
aged Italy, and there is scarcely village, and,
might also add, church between Naples and
Venice that has not contributed to his collec-
ton.
"Mr. Preston, our Minister to Spain. has
been here some weeks buying furniture for his
palace. (S6,0O0 a year rent,) at Madrid lie
has invested 600 among the Paris artizans,
aud intends to have jolly, though it may be a
short, career as diplomatist. He was TO have
left for Madrid on Saturday but the death of
his father-in-law, Mr.. Wicklifie, intelligence
of which has just reached him. may delay his
departure
Charlotte Cushman and Miss Stebbins left
here a few days since, on their way to Rome
via Switzerland. Miss Stebbins has received
some fiattering orders from home. 1 hear, and
also has been offered a handsome sum by a
large porcelain manufacturer in England, for
the privilege Of copying her Miner on their
work.
"Senator Benjamin, of Louisiana, and Ar
mold Harris, are also here, You know why,
better than do. Mr.. Murphy, our late Min
lister at the Hague, has gone to the baths of
Aix-ia-Chappelle with Mrs. Murphy, whose
eyes have been so seriously affected during her
residence at the Hague to endanger her
sight. i am told that Il residence there has
had a similar effect upon other Americans. L
believe Mrs. Belmont was something of a suf-
ferer from the same cause.
general Fair and family, of the Hague, are
expected here early in October. They will be

A ToUcHING ScENE.-After his usual
Wednesday evening lecture, last night, the
Rev. Mr.. Beecher presented to his congre.
cation the case of a slave mother in Virginia
who had been freed with her five children
by the will of her deceased mistress, but
whom the heirs, avaiing themselves of legal
toohnicalities, had again reduced to slavery.
A humane slave dealer had bought them
all for 81 900, and had offered the mother
her freedom for the same amount,--at the
same time allowing her to come North with
one of her children, to raise the money
taking her word of honor that she would re-
turn. She had collected $500 in Phiadel-
phia, and now solicited $500 more. Mr..
B. called on her to stand up. She rose
as white, as free apparently from all taint
of negro blood, in hue or hair or speech Oh
manner, as any member of that congrega
ton And her little brown-haired boy was
as sweet a child as any mother fondles il
New York. Over $500 were collected OF
the spot; the remaining 5000, aCs canno
doubt, a0W be sent to Mr.. Beecher early thii
morning. It is in all respects one of the
most meritorious appeals ever made to the
charity of rich and benevolent community

The Scotchman and his Daughter.

The ScOIchman and his Daughter.
A Scotchman gave the following advice
to his daughter on entering a boarding
school.
"Now, daughter, ye hae just four things
to learn in Edinburgh. Ye hae to learn
to manage your head, your hands, your feet
and your heart. Your head will require a
little rubbing up, bath outside and inside.
It's no the the bobs and the curls, the rib
bon and the rose knots, the gildet kames,
and the toppings o'-wsel-sleek-it up hair,
that are to stand the test Of life, and yet
these are a. becoming in their places. But
there is something else required. Ye maun
learn to think for yourself, for you Gamma al
ways have your mother and me TO think
and act for you. Ye maun learn to weigh
and calculate not only your own actions, but
your motives of action as well as the ac-
tions and apparent motives of those with
whom you have to deal, and stick aye by
that, my child, of which you are never to
be ashamed, either in this world or in that
to come.
If ever you arc spared to be wife, there
will mair depend upon your head than your
hands; and you arc none the waur o being
able to cook your family a neat dinner, aud
make yourself new gown at ony time, Oh
frock TO wee bit ane.
But now, for the heart, daughter; that is
what requires the maist care, and the mast
watching o all, and there's naught else that
l am sac unqualified in giving advice
Keep it aye free O malice, rancor and de
ceit; and as to the forming of any improp
cr acquaintance, or youthful partially, il
is sac dangerous at your time Of life, that
nae advice can countervail. maun there
fore leave it entirely to your ain discretion
and good sense.
l might hae mentioned the management
of the tongue, as another and separate
point of attention; but it is a mere machine
and acts only in subordination to the head
and to the heart, and, if these are kept il
proper order, the other will nae rim fal
wrong. But dinna be over punctual abou
catching the English pronunciation. Il
looks rather affected in country girl to 6(
always swapping at the English, and at thC
same time be popping in an auld Scott
phrase, which she learnt in the nursery, fo
it is impossible to get quit O. them. Blu
mind this, my child, that good sense is wei
favored and becoming, in whatever dialoc
it be spoken, and anc's mther's tongue al
ways suits either the lips of boonny las
or an auld earl the best.-Ettriek Shepherd

Cheap Postage.

Referring to the increased expenditures
Of the Post Office Department over the in
come during inc last six years, the N. Y.
Evening Jost says;
"The system Of cheap postage has not
been to blame for this; the system Of cheap
postage has yielded literally, and, with tho
exception of the year 1853, when there was
n falling-of in its revenue, il has gone on
from year to year with a steadily increasing
income, so that in 1857, the year of this
great extravaganza in the Post Office OK
psnditures, it had reached the sum Of $e,
O69, ,952, or more than million and quar-
ter of dollars beyond what it was 10 the last
year Of the FIVE cent postage. That tho
revenue Of the Post Office in six years, un-
der the cheap postage system, had grown
10 be larger BY one-sixth than il had been
in the most productive year of the fivo cent
postage ought to have satisfied every reas-
ouable expectation. 1t is almost precisely
correspondent TO the increase Of our popula-
ton in the Same period, if we lake the emu
'aeratiops Of 1850 and the previous year rs

THE FAR-OFF FUTURE.

nv J. hal. ELLIOT.
THEREs distant land, with a low, shining shore,
Far DER Times billows that sullenly roar,
Aud dash their mad foam-crests high up in the sky,
Essaying all valnly TO hide from eye
The dim, dreamy beauties we ever there;
Bright flowers, that bloom so transcendenty fair,
And butterflies fitting gay, azure wing,
And pure snow-white birds that enehantingy sing.
There are trees ever green and cool sheltered bowers
And wide winding pathways all fragrant with flowers
And bright, limpid streams, transparent and clear,
And dew-drops distilled from sigh and tear.
The air Is all odorous with richest perfume,
The sky never shaded with deep clouds Of gloom,
But flooded fore'er with Il soft dazzling light,
An ETHEREAL ocean ofunbounded delight.
There dazzling forms In that strange ar-ofr land,
That stretch toward us a white beckoning hand;
And faces that glow with the warm rpys oflove,
They have stole from the brows of the angels above
And eyes that with deep, silent eloquenee tell
ofglories that may never dispe;
Aud voices that whisper so soft in ears
The rapturous tale Of home without tears.
And DER tho wide waste Of waters between
To-day and that land which seems buta dream,
We are constantly sending frail, tiny barks,
That ride o'er the waves like God-hallowed arks.
They freghted with hopes we dare not express,
And longings and dreams we will not confess;
And thoughts that in secret have often begliled
| We trust this ocean, so dark and so wild.
! OF heavily ladened are these barks ofours,
We anxiously watch when the tempest cloud lowers
Our lie, our love, and our happiness, all,
Are the burdens risk in these lifeboats small.
And, one by one, on that far-distant shore,
Unseen hands unload them-we SEQ them more,
And still we keep sending them DER the sea,
And watch their white sails skimning onward In gee
OF dim, far. of future, thy low shining strand,
Though still in the distance, seems ever at hand;
Thy watchword, tomorrow" is all of the song
That sing with the chorus att will not be long"
Forever we're hoping thy harbor to gain,
Where shall forget our doubts and our pain,
And each day, when 1t comes, still finds 50 far
From that promised home where brightest hopes
