near perishing with cold. 1t was only by
extraordinary means we could retain our

the cold. We remained in the house two
hours, constantly exercising ourselves, by
which means we were kept from freezing to

ST.. LOUIS, Feb. "a, 1859.

MENoRY.--The Count St. Germain had a
wonderful memory. Any newspaper he
read once he knew by memory, and was fur
nished with such gigantic comprehensive
powerof ofnumbering that he retained series
of thousand numbers, which he could recite
forward, backward, and pushed out from the
middle. From the court of Henry III, in
Cracow, he demanded one hundred packs Of
picked cards, mixed them together in disor.
der, let him tell all the succession ofthe cards
ordered it to be noted down exactly, and re-
peated them, following one after the other
without being wrong once. He played al
most every musical instrument Of the world
was an excellant painter, and initiated any
handwriting in the most Elusive manner
had but one passion-playing all games with
absolute mastery. In chess ne mortal had
vanquished him, and in faro he could break
every bank by calculation.

Family Government.

The government of families is of all gov
| srnments the most important. tits training
ourselves and our children to the various du-
ties of life, and preparing them to govern
and be governed. Noparents should attempt
to govern their children until they have learn
ed to govern themselves. They should pos
sess the entire control of their children, and
should never speak in anger or execute anv
chastisement while under excitement. That
''like begets like" no one will attempt to dis
pute. If, then we address the child with
angry words, we can but expect the same.in in
reply. 1t is the parent'who should set'.the ex-
ample, the child will initiate. How often do
we hear parents threaten some chastisement
to their child which they never put into exc
cution and never should. The child has dis
cernment and can well judge whether the
parent really means what he or she NAV say.
Continually threatning the child with that
which you never intend to execute serves to
place you on common equality with the child
so far as government is concerned. Your
power is weakened, your influence lost and
the child left to grow up with evil passions
and without the knowledge of obedience to-
parental authority Could we but''refer:.to the
early training of those who have become vic

see that the parents failedin their moral train.
ing. A parents duty is responsible one
1t demands constant care and watchfuness
over their offspring. No one can realize the
responsibilities but the par mt. All will
agree that it would be their joy and hapi-'
ness to have their children obedient, with a
pleasant disposition and cheerful IF we
adopt right principles of government and car
ry them out fully, we can have pleasant fam
lilies, cheerful and obediant children. In or
der to arrive at this, would never threaten

into execution and neglect to keep my word
BE constant and deceive in this if in any,
thing. When your children mautre, they will
but live to give evidence of your kindness
to them in their cheerful dispositions and pa
rental affection, as.well as being good citizens.
You have then conferred upon yor children
that which is Of greater Importance to them
than wealth or noble descent.-Hartford

To MEASURE HAY-sTAcKs.-"More than
twenty years since," says an old farmer, 81
copied the following method for measuring
hay from an old publication, and, having ver-
ifed its general accuracy, have both bought
and sold by it, and believeit may be useful
to many farmers where the means of weigh
ing are not at hand. Multiply the length,
breadth and hight into each other, and if the
hay is somewhat settled, ten solid yards
make ton. Clover will take from ten to
twelve solid yards per ton"

Henry Ward Beecher's Sympa.
thy for Editors.

While on his recent journey to the West,
Henry Ward Beecher sent back from Roch-
ester the following expression of his sympa-
pathy for the Office editors Of the Independ-
ent
But, We Office editors how do pity you,
cramred up in your narrow den-poring
over ''exchanges''-scissoring for the item
colums-reading long-winded communica-
tons, and cutting down articles to their un-
speakable advantage. Occasionally you look
out ola window. Few editors have the
privilege of gazing upon such refreshing
scene as that which opens to the eye from
the rear office of the Independent! Or per-
haps you are enjoying visit from one of the
daily hundreds that flock to the editorial
sanctum, as villagers to the town pump
thing that works for everybody but ITSELF
and holds out an arm for every living crea-
ture to shake who is thirsty!
But | am whirling along the Hudson, a
river that never wears out anv more than it
runs out. If any other land has more
glorious river, am glad of it! The ground
is all disrobed of snow. Willows are vel
lowing the edges of low woods. Buds are
making the forests look purplish. Grass is
everywhere starting, and in favored spots ii
has lifted up that green which all summer
long shall not wear out. The plow has al
ready been at work. Farmers are all astir.
Barn-yards are vocal with hens celebrating
the earliest achievements in the egg specula-
tons of another season. Calves and lambs
are come. All, you do not know, poor crea-
lures that live in cities-you 90 not know
that spring has come! But the signs of the
year are for the country. Now the peony is
pushing up its ruddy knuckles, honeysuck-
les are leering out, flags are drawing their
swords, the swamps are full of blackbirds,
wild ducks are on the pond, trout are ready
for the angler, long wedge-lines of wild geese
stream northward, trumpeting as evening
comes on, and they are wing-weary. Brook
willows are downy with their velvety cat
kins-mosses in the damp woods are green
with the cleanest, moistest and intensest
green. Streams are full and turbid, little
ones are racing down into bigger ones, ard
these are pouring into other streams, and
everything seems hurying and fastening as
ifa universal activity had inspired the year.
All this, poor Offic. editors, must cen inn
agine-but see it. All day long, in end
less succession, scenes of incessant variation
pass before the windows-for it looks as
though they moved, and not we. But then,
you can look out of your back windows and
cheer your eyes with the works Of mems
hands! am bound for the prairies. Think
of that! But only their vast reaches and
their green undulations will be visible. 1t is
too early for flowers. Something may be
cleaned, however, for another letter to you.
Meanwhile, dear Doctor, turn over the huge
heap Of newspapers. Mark and cut. And
thou younger, God-giveu, ply thy tasks. nor
think of birds, flowers, streams, budding
birch, and arrogant spice-bush, but only OF
copy, items, and proofreading.

first girl, strapper, who usually assisted her
father; who was publican, in waiting upon
customers.

No reply.
-"What is your name p repeated the par
son.

girl; you know my name well enough. Don't

ness of the place, were in broad grin, and

When brighter sun and milder skies
Proclaim the opening year,
What various sound. Of Joy arise!
What prospects Bright appear
Earth and her thousand voices give
Their thousand notes ofpraise;
And all, that by His mercy live,
To God their offering raise.
Forth walks the laborer to his toll,
And sees the fresh array
OF verdure clothe the iowery soil
Along his careless way.
The streams, all beautiful and bright,
Reflect the morning sky:
And there, with music in his flight,
The wild bird scars on high.
