TIE SMITH FAMILY-s!Gentlemen,
said a candidate for Congress, "my
name is Smith, and / am proud to say !
am not ashamed Of it. 1t may be thai
no person in this crowd owns.t that very
uncommon name. II however, there
be one such, let him hold up his head,
pull up his dicky, turn out his toes, take
courage, and thank his stars that there
are few more left Of the same sort.
Smith, gentlemen, is an illustrious name,
And standscvcr high In the annals Of fame.
Lc, White, Brown, and Jones increase as they
will,
Believe nc that Smith will outnumber them
still.
Gentlemen, | am proud Of being an
original Smith; not SMIrnE, nor a
SMYTH, but . regular natural S-M.I-T-
Smith. Putting in the middle or
an at the end won't do, gentlemen.
Who ever heard of great man by the
name of Smyth or Shuttle !? Echo an
swcrs ,cho, and everybody says nobody.
But as for Smith, plain SMITH, why
the pillars Of fame are covered with that
honorcd and reverend name. Who
were the most racy, witty, and popular
authors Of this century? Horace and
Albert Smith. Who the most original.
pithy, and humorous preacher? Rev.
Sidney Smith. To go further back
who was the bravest and boldest soldier
in Sumpters army in the Revolution
A Smith. Who palaverted with Pow.
hatan, galivanted with Pocahontas; aud
became the ancestor of the frst families
in Virginia? A Smith again. And
who, ! ask-and ! ask the question
more seriously and soberly-who, ! say,
is that man, and what his name, who has
fought tho most battles, made the most
speeches, preached the most sermons,
held the most Offices, sung the most
songs, written the most poems, courted
tho most women, kissed the most girls,
and married the most widows? History
says, | say,you say, and everybody says,
John SMITH"

ent Of the Poushkeepsie Press writes
that the pride Of sing..sing Prison, Of
both officers and convicts, is their baby;
and truly he's one to be proud Of, for
he is tho perfection Of childish beauty,
with complexion Of alabaster fairness,
and golden ringlets of hue, shading brow
Of faultless beauty, while his eyes are Of
that '.liquid blue which are seldom
seen; and this child was born in prison,
four months after his mother was sent
there for the crime Of arson, and this
poor unfortunate mother must soon part
with her child for they are not allowed
to retain child after i. is two years
old.

A Little More About Children.

Our pleasant lady passenger in the
Omnibus, Who has fondness for snec-
dotes of children, was sitting By the side
ofaaother lady, who had beautiful little
girl in her lap, apparently about three
years old.
"That's sweet, bright-looking child
of yours, said Mrs. "pray how old is
it? 2"
"Two years and a half, Man,"
"Only two years and half? She's
very forward for that age."
"Wcll, she is pretty considerable for
ward She could say the whole Of the
Lords Prayer when she was year and
a half old"
"Well do love to hear such sweet
little cherubs say their prayers" said
Mrs G., "but they sometimes mix up
such queer ideas with them that the laugh
that follows takes away al. the solsmnitY.
My dear little f., when about three yeara
old, was saying the Lords Prayer one
night, with her head resting on my knee
and when she came to the sentence,
"Give US this day our daily Bread" she
suddenly stopped at the word BREAD
and looking earnestly up in my face, q
mother, said she cant Isay raisins this
time I'm tired taking bread all the
time 80
"Another time We were about making
journey to Boston. to be gone couple
Of weeks j; and little E., who was to 60
with US, was quite excited at the aes.
She had been looking on, to see her little
things packed in the trunk, and her
head was full Of the matter. On being
called to say her prayers before goingto
bed, she went through the recital very
sweetly, and at the close she added with
the utmost simplicity, Now, good bye,
Mr.. God. I'm going to Boston in the
morning, to be gone two weeks"

COPS PRoTECTIoN or YOUNG DEER.
AN old Canadian hunter declares that
the reason why the wild deer were not
all killed when young. (as they breed
once year, and are always surrounded
by other animals which prey upon them,
as dogs wolves, bears. panthers, &c }
is, that "no dog or other animal can
smell the track of doe or fawn while
the latter is two young TO take care of
itself" lie stated that he had often
seen it demonstrated: he lra'd taken lis
dogs over the ground where he had just
seen them pass, and they would take no
notice Of the track, and could not be in
duced to follow when taken to the spot,
wlliie they would INSTANTLY discover the
track ofany deer not having young ones.
This is b 1t one proof Of the adaptation
of the natural laws TO preserve life when
it most needs protection.
