'e Good Night =" Good Night papa!'

These are the words whose music has not left our ears since the gloamlng, and now it is midnight. {" Good night" dar- ling God bless you; you will have pleasant dreams, though l toss in fever, haunted by the demons of care thatharrass me through the day. :" Good night" The clock on the mantle struck twelve, and no sound was heard in the house save the regular breathing of those little lungs in the next room, heard through the dooI ajar We dropped our pen, folded our arms, and sat gazing on the lazy fire, while the whole panorama oi lie passed before us, with its many "good nights"
 It is a great thing to have good mem- ory--provided that memory bears no un- pleasant fruits, bitter to the taste; and our memory carries us back to many a pleas ant scene-to the little armchair by the firesde to the trundle-bed at the foot of the bed; to the lawn in front of the house. and the orchard behind it.; to the butter cups, and the new clover. and the chick ems and the swallows, and the birds nests, and the strawberries, and the many things that attract the wondering eyes ot child hood, to say nothing of the mysteries Of starry skies, and the wierd gloom of the moaning forest. But, then, there were the good nights" and the little prayer, and the downy bed on which slun,ber fell as lightly as snowflake, only warmer, and such dreams as only visit perfect in- nocence The household good night" Somebody, in whose brain its rich music still fingers, has written thus:
 Good nigh.!' A loud, clear voice from the stairs said that 1t was Tommy. '' Dood night" murmurs liille some- thing from the trundle- -bed---a little some- thing that we call Jenny, that fills large place in the center of two pretty llttle hearts. "Good night" lisps little fel- low in plaid rife dress, who was named Willie about six years ago.
 | "Now lay me down to sleep, | pray the Lord my soul to keep;
 If should die, before l wakN--n

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

- An old sailor at the theatre, said he supposed that dancing girls wore their dresses at half-mast as mark of respect to departed modesty.
 - An exchange paper says that the most dignifed, glorious and lovely work of nature is woman, the next man, and the third, tho Berkshire pig.
 -------'sWhat can be done to check the evils of intcmperance?o Keep your elbow straight.
 It would seem that great many men and women are trying to establish their claims to the possession of genius by proving their deplorable lack of common sense.
 The sweetest bedfellow is conscience. An, it is charming thing to feel her at one's heart--to hear her evening song and her morn- ing hymn
 "A countryman was dragging calf by rope in cruel manner. An Irishman asked him if that was the way She thrated fellow craythur ?" ol
 ----- Some persons with apparent zeal, vim dicating their friends from all their little pee cadllos, whitewash them very carefully, and then knock them on the head by lamenting their addiction to some gross impropriety They are somewhat like the Pagan priests, who, when OK was not completely white, chalked over the dark spots, and, leading him up to the altar, dispatched him with blow.
 - Never seek to be intrusted with your friends secret, for, no matter how faithfully you keep it, you will be liable in thousand contingencies to the suspicion of having be- trayed it.
 - Good humor is the blue sky of the soul, clearly. ag
 HoRRIRLE.-To dream you have plenty of money, and to wake up and find yourself noth- ing but printer.
 You cannot escape them by doing wrong; and it is little gain to barter away your honor and integrity, and divest yourself of moral courage to gain what? Nothing. Better abide by the truth--frown down all opposition, and re- ioice in the feeling which must inspire free and independent man.
 ---Faith believes Gods word--Patience waits Gods time Hope expects all God has promised--Love urges to obey all Gods com- mands-Humility bows low before God'- throne-Submisso shuts the mouth in tr- inc times, and Resignation cheerfully u-fenders all to Gods disposal, when all ths' graces are found together, the character '.s complete,
 FEW WoRDs TO You've MEN.-Neyer smoke cigars when You have not money to pay for mendng ye.ur coat. Worn-aat button holes look badly in brilliant lights, or even by paler fires.
 Never smoke cigars when yeu are too poor to pay honest debts.
 Never be too poor to pay for seat in church while you can spend eight times as much for an indulgence that is not only no benefit to body or mind, but real detrinsens to both.

nf nlmnst nll Ilalv. forcihlv indicales the

of almost all Italy, forcibly indicates tho nonchalence of that sunny land.
 The Spaniard, grave, naughty and in different, wishes you "Good Morning. to which we respond, 'sAt your service, sir. 7 Another salutauon which the Spaniard uses, God be with you, signor," shows a melange of respect for one's self and re- ligious sentiment.
 The ordinary salutation of the German is, Vie gehts?" "IIow goes il2" and has a vagueness partabing somewhat of the dreamy character Of the German. To bid one adeu, he says, "Leben sic who'll "Live quiet and happy" Thislast plain ly exhibits his peaceful nature and love for the simple joys of life.
 The travelipg Hollander asks, "Hoe waart'sgc" 'sIIo do you go?' Tie thoughtful, active Swede demands, "Ol what dc, you think?' whilst, the Dane more placid, uses the German expression "Liv vel"-"Live we'll" But the greet ing of the Pole is best of all; "Are you happy?"
 The English have the Goodbye" a corruption of the word "Good be with you," and some others; but that which ex- hibits best the character of the Engl sh, is "How do you do?" as the activity of this people is shown in this demand where the do is spoken twice. Nothing is more characteristic, more lively, or more stirring than this.
 The "Comment vouz portez vouz?" ot the French is equally characteristic. The Frenchman is more active than laborious more ardent, more passionate, than thoughtful; hence the principle with him IS not to do, but to go--to be lively, to show himself. There is something in this ex- pression "Comment vous rortex vous!' - "How do you carry yourself !"-which bespeaks at once his frank manner and pleasant face.

SALUTATIONS AMONG DIFFERENT NATIONS.

TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH.
 The expressions used as salutations among different nations have, under their common aspect, something character istic and interesting, even for the most causual observer.
 In the East, some of these expressions savor in more or less degree, of the Scriptures, and of the serene and patr- archal sentiment of the inhabitants. One recognizes the immobility of these pasto- ral and war-like people, standing aloot from all human progress. Nearly all have foundation in religious sentiments, and express peace to those to whom they are addressed. The Salutation used by Arab, "Salem," or "Shalum," means peace, and is found in the word Jerusalem. The Arab saluies his friend thus, "May you have happy morning. "May God grant you his favors;" elf God wills 1t, you are we'll" This last expression plain ly betrays their fanatcism.
 The Turks have formula which can only be used in sunny cline, - May your shadow never be less" An Eng lishman would never think of wishing friend fine shadow
 The climate of Egypt is feverish, and precipitation is necessary to health; hence the Egyptian, meeting you, asks, "How do you perspire."
 "Have you eaten?" "Is your stomach in good order?" asks the Chinamen, a touching solic;ude, which can only be ap- preciated by nation of gourmands.
 "Good cheer," says the modern Greek in nearly the same language that the an- clients were wont to greet their friends. A charming salutation which could only have originated among the happy, careless Greeks.
 The Romans, who were heretofore TO- bust, indefatigabe and laborious, had en- ergetic salutations, expressing force and action: ''Salye," "Be strong," "Be heal thy;" and "guidaysis," "What do you?" or "What make you"
 The Genoese, of modern times, say, "health and wealth." which is very ap. propriate for an active and commercial peo- pie.
 The Neapolitan devoutly says, "Grow in sanctity;" and the Piedmontese, "I am your servant" The "How stand you!"

A POEM WITH A MORAL.

[The following poetic eifusion we copy from the Harrisburg, Pa, Telegraph. It points a moral which we hope will not be lost upon those for whom it is intended. How much unhappiness exists in the world growing out of envy and dscontentment!l A man in his carriage was riding along,
 A gaily dressed wife by his side; In satins and laces she looked like a queen,
 And he like king in his pride. A wood-sawyer stood on the street as he passed; The carriage and couple he eyed, And said as he worked with his saw on log, II wish l was rich and could ride" The man in the carriage remarked to his wife, cone thing I would do if I could [health I'd give all my wealth for the strength and the Of the man who saweth the wood" A pretty young maid with bundle of work, Whose face as the morning was fair, Went tripping along with smile of delight, While humming love-breathing air. She looked on the carriage; the lady she saw, Arrayed in apparel so fine, And said in whisper, 'I wish from my heart Those satins and faces were mine." The lady looked out on the maid with her work So fair in her calico dress, And said, ,eId relinquish possession and wealth, Her beauty and youth to possess" Thus it is, in this world, whatever our lot, Our minds and our time we employ In longing and signing for what we have not, r,l eo, hot We welcome the pleasures for which we have
 sighed,
 The heart has void in it still, Growing deeper and wider the longer we live, That nothing but Heaven can fill.

 1t is my intention to ask our next Legislature 10 assist us in this matter. In the meantime, let us be ur and doing, ourselves. We are far behind many of our sister States in this important subject.
 "The Agricultural College of the State of Michigan has been in actual operation since May, 1857, with faculty of one President, and four Professors. The New York State Agricultural College was incorporated in 1S53 A portion Of the main College building is now being com peted, which will accommodate 150 stu dents. In the same State, The Peoples College, at Havana, was organized in 1857 The Farmers High School, of Pennsylvania, was incorporated in 1S55. One wing of the main building IS nearly erected, and the present design of the trustees is to open the institution, in Feb ruary next, with one hundred students, to be increased to four hundred.' The Maryland Agricultural College was in- coi iPoIaleu III iCoo. Inc PjanleIS Oi tnht State have subscribed S50000, and the State gives them $6.000 per annum, toward it's support. The cornerstone of m extensive building was laid in August last, and no doubt tie work will be urged on with energy to its completion. The State Agricultural College of Iowa was incorporated in March last, and will be fully organized by January next. Tho Minnesota Agricultural College was in- corporated during the present year. and no doubt will soon go into successful oper- ation. Virginia is making noble efforts in the same direction. So Is Alabama and Georgia. In these noble efforts to effect great and good object, shall we stand longer and hesitate 2" sa
